The Art of
Long Life
By Rrice Belden. NJ. D,

7 AGREE heartily with the octo-
genarian Senator OF the United
- States who thinks that the
older folks ought to be the most
vigorous of those who are to solve
the problems and make the record
of the twentieth century. He puts
pleasurable work first as a reju-
venator and is alarmed at the talk
about a siX-our day.
His recipe further enjoins that
the elderly keep in touch with the
young, join in their games, dance,
romp and sing, go 20 the theater
with children and laugh and cry
with them, and be interested in the
love affairs Of the young.
All this is sound advice. from
the medical point of view. There is
an unfortunate superstition on the
part Of many people. that when a
certain age is passed one must be-
gin to live and act as though one
were senife, and to believe that one
really is entering upon seniltiy.
These superstitious folks become
inactive, take on flesh, neglect the
care OF their teeth, and actually
adopt customs that are associated
with the idea of old age Many
women seem TO think that after
raising a family they ought to pro-
coed to grow ungracefully.
A woman ought to be at her best
just at the time when superstition
ordains that she should lose intel
lectual and physical energy. Hav-
ing discharged her heaviest family
obligations, the average woman
spurns liberation and accepts de-
terioration.
The demon OF. old age finds his
job made too easy for him by most
folks. Like Marshal Foch and
Premier Clemenceau. they shouldn't
pay any attention to the demon.
A siX-hour work day, says the
Senator, would leave eighteen
hours-for what? One cannot read
eighteen hours. What is there to
do? At eighty-flye he finds a full
days work delightful.

THE NATION SUPREME

Washington Post. -,f
Bolshevists who are honest in their
belief are in favor OF world COM
munity or internatiozalism which
shall be paramount to all nations.
They do not specifically demand a
supeIleasue of nations, but they
should favor such a league, as IL is a
step toward the universal proletarian-
ism which they fondly believe would
cure human ills. The Bolsheviki are
against nations as at present consti-
tuted; and the advocates of soyer-
eign league of nations are also dissat
isfied with nations as at present con-
stituted. Both Belsheviki and pro-
leaguers are trying to find a method
of forcing nations to obey a will
higher than the sovereign will OF each
state.
Is that what Americans want?
Diligent inquiry has failed TO dis
close any action or utterance by the
American people or upon their author
ity which would permit any one to as
sumo that Americans are dissatisfied
with their government and are trying
to find a plan which will evolve a uni
versal sovereign superior to the
United States to obey its will within a
certain sphere.
Inquiry fails to reveal any growth
of Bolshevism in the United States
which could be regarded as anything
more than a neighborhood outburst Of
mingled folly and sedition. There is
no national movement toward Boil
shevism. On the contrary, wherever
the peoples will could be ascertained
on a respectable scale. there has been
manifested readiness to attack and
destroy Bolshevism. and an equal i'm
patience with any scheme which
would impair the sovereignty and In
dependence Of the United States.
No "internationaiism" is wanted by
the American people. 30 far as their
will can be ascertained, except the
mutual and voluntary association Of
free nations temporarily acting to
gether for the protection of liberty
and civilization.
When ever any proposal is made to
create an international tribunal which
would have Jurisdiction over the Mon
roe doctrine. the American people
kick and will not have 1t.
When ever Socialists and Bolshev-
lists propose to substitute an inter
national system for the United States
government. the police are usually re.
quired to protect the utterers of such
doctrines. 1t is noticeable that sol

The Record Finds
Owners of Gifts

One day last week The Daily Record
made the announcement that two
small Christmas parcels addressed to
'Tnez and Buster" were being held at
the Ca-on City postonfice awaiting
claimants. The wrappers on these
parcels had in some way been torn off
and lost and there was no cine to the
idcnity of the persons for whom they
we're intended. except the phrase,
"Inez and Buster" the family name
and place OF residence having been
completely destroyed. The item as
it appeared in these columns was
read by Mr.. and Mrs. A. C. Feller and,
having children by these names, de-
cided that the presents were fsiended
for them. They called at the post
office and had no difficulty in estab-
fishing their right to them. On the
back of the gifts were written the
words. Jimmy and Edith" and Mr..
and Mrs. Feller Identified them as
relatives living in Texas.

Lieut.. Roy Turner
Home From Army

Lieut.. Roy Turner has been mus
tered out of the army and is spending
a short time here visiting his parents.
Mr.. and Mrs. II. +. Turner of S24 AL
lison avenue, and other relatives.
Lieut.. Turler enlisted in the military
service in Nevada and was sent to
Camp Lewis, Wash, for training.
Later he was transferred to Camp
Zachary Taylor at Louisville. KY. and
taien to Camp Jackson at Columbia, S.
C. For some time before he was
mustered out of the Federal service
he was student at the school of fire
OF the artillery branch OF the army at
Fort Sill, Okla, from which he was
graduated in high standing; making a
record of something like 80 out of a
possible 100 points. This is regard
ed as one of the most abstruse and diff
ficuit schools of the army in which to
attain high rank as a student, and
graduation is permitted with grade
OF 65. Lieut.. Turner expects to
leave shortly for the Pacific coast to
resume his work as civilian.

The element of bitterness seemed tc
be gone from the situation from Their
point of view. The surrender had
waited to begin over again and be
friends.
| They were not sea-faring boys, never
had been and never would be. The
one at my elbow was from Berlin, the
one beyond from the ne'and :; an
other from Dusseldorf. They were
mostly inland boys.
They knew nothing of the traditions
of the sea. Several years ago they
had never seen salt water. Which
probably partly explains the absence
of depression. They were not so
much concerned with the fact that
the German navy had been the first
navy in history to deliver itself al
most intact to an enemy in surrender,
as they were concerned that this was
the final act necessary to end the war.
Occasionally, of course, a sober face
told different story.
1t seemed such an incongruous pic
ture-that of these youngsters scurry-
ing down the steel ladders. swapping
shut the matches and rushing to the
torpedo tubes to commit murder of
the worst kind. Standing there right
at your elbow, they looked so harm
less.
The officers, however. were of diff
ferert stamp, There was one in par
ticular, 20-year-old lieutenant, from
Hanover. He was a fine-looking chap,
light hair, clean features, friendly
blue eyes and an easy smile-which
served to accentuate the perversion
and bitterness of his point of view.
How incredible it sounded when he
replied, with a smile: Certainly, sub
marine commanders willingly carried
out orders to sink passenger ships
with women and children aboard.
They were glad to do it That is

low like that, that / asked him to re-
peat. He said the same thing over
again, slowly with the same smile, and
seemed to see nothing odd in it. He
rather appeared a bit. amused that
the question should arise.
There were very few officers, how
ever. Most of the captains and lieu
tenants had preferred to let their sub
ordinates do the surrendering. More
than one U-boat was surrendered by
a petty officer, or junior grade lieu
tenant. M

Harwich, England, December 25.-
{By Mail)-What kind of fellows per.
sonally are these German submarine
sailors-they who used to go about
sinking passenger and hospital ships
without warning?
This is question every American
has asked himself at some time.
From British launch today l saw
hundreds of them-standing in gro
tesque groups on the U-boats' decks,
tumbling from the submarine into the
launch, and leaning against their kits
as the launch hurried them back to
their transport-and l talked person
ally with dozens of them.
The first personal impression as
your launch draws up beside subma-
rine is the boyishness of the faces be-
fore you. Many seemed from Is to

The next the remarkable express

expected to find sulleEness or dejec-
ton. or spit. Instead you find your
self looking into a group of absolute
masks, registering neither joy nor sor-
row, relief or strain, pleasure nor
hate-absolutely nothing giving the
faiEtest hint as to what is going on be-
hind. You never realized before the
capacity of the German physignomy
to conceal feeling.
You came to find desperate men.
You found strengthening boys, in
grotesque nondescript uniforms.
Some wrore the conventional gray
ish jacket worn by locomotive and
stationary enginemen in the States.
Others combined the regular blue
jacket OF The German navy with a pair
of olive khaki trousers. Still others
had thcir engineers jacket over an
ordina;y dark brown or black pair of
civilians trousers. All had the lit
tie round blue cap of the German
jackie. --...,.ai

rine into the launch it became appar
