What Delays Peace

lFrom the Philadelphia Press
Mr.. Wilson and the other mem
bers of the League of Nations COM
mission congratulate themselves"
that their deliberations have never
interposed any form of delay to the
final formulation of peace. Yet the
fact remains that after four months
of deliberations, the conference is
not perceptibly nearer to peace. The
League of Nations project is even
the only subject on what any sort
of conclusions were reached, and
these conclusions, as we know, must
now be materially modified.
1t is even doubtful if the investi-
cations and deliberations of the past
four months can be of any use to
the conferees at present. For u new
situation has arisen that renders all
the old theories worthless, the old
remedies barren. The first shipments
of American food have reached Ger
many, but no observer can any
longer be confident that food will
save Germany from Bolshevism.
Italy's blockade on Czecho-Slovakia
has been lifted, yet the Czecho-Sl
walks are not placated. They make
demands on their government which
alel, the principles of Bolshevism.
Since these things have happened,
it is generally understood, Messrs.
Wilson, Lloyd George. Clemenceau
and Orlando have virtually taken on
their own shoulders the burden of
unraveling the peace tangle, rescind-
ing all tentative decisions heretofore
reached 1t is terrific burden.
Wherever they turn they are con-
fronted with governments urging
purely national demands as the only
precaution against Bolshevism. And
in many cases there is the dilemma
that one nation cannot be saved
from Bolshevism without throwing
it's rival into the welcoming arms
of Lenine.
Prophesies are vain. Forecasts
are useless. At this late day, the
Peace Conference has been set back
to the very beginning of its problems.

THE SLEEPING BEAUTY
[By sgd. C.l

She lies upon n gilded couch,
Her round. white arms beneath
her head,
And shadowy slaves about her crouch
Mute and immobile as the dead.
Soft azure silks her. limbs enfold.
And shimmering gauzes fine as
mist,
And milky wells with broidery
scrolled
Veil her thick tresses' heavy twist.
Some glittering dream the day be-
guiles,
Some sweet thought through the
dreariing slips,
For joy too delicate for smiles
Haunts the curved flower of her
lips;
And shrived she seems from stress
and dole.
AS one who sees in magic trance
Through the dark forests of the soul
The silver-footed fairies dance.
No voice may break the calm pro-
found,
Nor echo pierce to where she lies
To stir the vision that has bound
The languid Glimmer Of her eyes:
Nothing. till Eventide shall press
Those lips and break the tranced
swoon
That holds in thrall this fair
princess

THE STATE POLICE

TT Is to be hoped the State Police
bill. which was cut to pieces by
the House Monday night, will be
reconsidered and passed. If not the
force will lose many of its most eff
cient men, who feel themselves so
much underpaid that they will re-
sign if their salaries are not raised.
And we are badly in need of another
troop, for which the bill provided.
No law-abiding man has need to
fear the State Police. No man who
has not broken the law or does not
have that intent in mind will ever
be disturbed by the State Police, who
are always the friends of the under
dog and the protectors of the op-
pressed. So when certain flannel
mouthed radicals of unsavory rec
ords and doubtful intentions, rave
about the State Police being the
"enemies of organized labor" they
say what in their hearts they know
is not true. But the State Police are
most decidedly the enemies of vio-
lence and disorder and those who
oppose them place themselves in the
light of defending law-breakers,
anarchists and their like.
Labor leaders have told the Leg
islature that they will take care of
any Bolshevism that may show its
head here" and doubtless they
mean what they say, for union
labor is unalterably opposed to
Eolshevism, but there may come
u:ae when some organized force
may. be necessary, and il IS then the
State Police would step III. Unor-
ganized workmen in crisis of the
kind, patriotic though they be,
would be as helpless as the ten
mi!'ion men" Bryan told us would
spring to arms over night to de-
fend the country against the Ger
man invader. We need an armed,
well-drilled force for emergencies,
and the State Police have proved
Their worth on a hundred such
occasions. Only law-breakers have
any fear of them.

BOLSHEVISM DYING

"HE inability of Russian Bolshe-
visks in at least one province
to enforce the naturalization
of women rule is a most wholesome
sign. When the Russian people be-
gin to make their will felt on one
subject of the kind-and one so dear
to the heart of the true Bolshevist
as free love-they may be hopeful
of throwing off the yoke entirely.
Indeed, there are very distinct signs
that Bolshevism in Russia is crum-
bling, and almost any day may bring
news of large importance for the
world from that benighted country.
The armies of Trotzky and Lenine
are on the retreat north, south, east
and west.
Poland has put down Bolshevism;
so has Germany. Hungary and Aus
tria are both pulling it's fangs and
even in Bavaria there are indications
that it's bark has been far worse
than it's bite and that in due time

their own in full measure.
This condition is but natural.
Bolshevism is a fire which burns it
self out when there remains nothing
more on which to feed, or it can
be stamped out by vigorous peoples
the moment its flames appear. Count
Tolstoy calls it a malignant fever,
which in time will give place to
convalescence and convalescence to
return of health" Either simile
is good, There was a time when Boil
shevism made even the most coura-
gous tremble, but all that is past
We know Bolshevism for what it
is and we no longer fear it. 1t is
impossible in a sane, progressive
country like the United States. 1t
is proving its futility even in Russia
One of these days the people there
will arise and do to Bolshevism as
whole what the common folks
of one lone province have had the

for the good of our bodies and
minds and souls writes Arthur +.
Rice in an editorial, The Lure of
the out of Doors" in Boys Life for
May. Would you have sweet odors
to ravish your sense? We shall find
them in the trailing arbutus and the
blossom of the wild grape. Would
YOU listen to rare music. We shall
hear it in the liquid notes of the
hermit thrush and the distant bugle
call of the bull elk. Would you
taste wild flavors and eat strong
meats? We shall feast on coral
mushrooms and moose flesh and
beavers tails. Would you see sights
that are denied to the dwellers in
cities? We shall watch the snake
shedding his skin, the cuckoo lay
ing her egg in another birds nest,
and the cunning mother grouse es-
Gaping with her brood. Would you
know the joy of the stream in
cedar boat or birch canoe? We
shall run the rapids together. or rest
lightly in quiet, rock-rimmed pools
where the wild duck leads her tiny
squadron or the sleek mink plies his
deadly trade. Would you go where,
perchance. the foot OF man has new
er trod? We shall climb up among
the cathedral rocks and splintered
peaks in quest OF the wild goat and
the big sheep, and. standing on
the backbone of the world, look
upon what God has done.
IF we are able to do and to see
these things, we shall surely be-
come richer in wisdom and under
standing. stronger in nerve and
sinew, cleaner and better in body,
mind and spirit. We shall learn, for
the first time perhaps, in the deep
forest or high up among the noun
tain domes. the meaning of absolute
silence. We shall discover that
wonderful balance which nature
maintains in animal and vegetable
life, preserving here, destroying
there, but ever working out by
strange devices the great plan of
existence. If we go far and often,
we shall return with a glowing
pride in our own great country and
a knowledge of its wonderful re-
sources; and best of all, perhaps,
with a realization of how small an
atom is man and how great are the
works of God"

BURLESON-

folloWlng the telephone strike in
New England, the President of the
Democratic Club of Massa chusetts

President Wilson in Paris:

but in spite of any defect in styie
the advice itself is eminently sound
and sensible.
Albert Sidney Burleson, Postmas-
ter General of the United States. is
the heaviest burden that President
Wilson has to carry. He has done
more to diScredit the Administra tion
and the Democratic Party than all
its professed enemies combined. AS
a counselor to the President, he has
been a continuingly mischevous in
fuence. AS an administrator he
has stirred up more popular discon-
tent than all the Bolshevist and |.
w. w. agitators in the country. He
has done for all the elements of re-
action what they were helplessly
incapable of doing for themselves.
The World has no intention at this
time of entering into an analysis of
all the activities of Mr.. Burleson,
political and administrative. 1t is
enough to say that in our opinion
the counsel that President Wilson
has received from q dozen Massa-
chusetts Democrats represents the
best judgment of an overwhelming
majority of Democrats everywhere.

RED LIGHT SURGERY

The use of a pure red light for
surgical work, alternately with an
N-raY apparatus. is described by
contributor tof Popular Mechanics
(Chicago, ApriD. The reason for us
ing red is that it is complementary
to the greeniSh yellow of the fluoro-
scope, so that each makes the eye
more sensitive to the other, instead
of dazzling the worker. Says the
writer:
Silent, white e-robed figures bend
ing over a PROSTATE form while a
lurid red light glances from sharp
steel in their hands-it might be
stage-setting for the Inferno, or the
ultra-ingenious ceremony of some
mystic league. But the red glare,
which flashes and goes out and then
CLEANS again in a deliberate cycle,
marks a wholly beneficent perform
ance. 1t is aiding the marvellous
but limited revelations of the
N-ray to guide the hand of the sur
geon in it's delicate repairs on dam

tissue, cast upon luminous, huo-
resent screen a silhouette, a shadow

ed in reading the significance of
such shadows. gaZes upon the screen
and works in darkness, with his
hands exposed to the bancful influ-
enCes of the rays.
THE method did not satisfy
French surgeon. ConCeivinG the ad-
vantages to doctor and patient with
adequate illumination, he expert

light of pure red hue used alternate
I,r Will 10
THE arrangement was successful,
and was put to splendid use in a
French war hospital. With the X
ray tube below the operating table
and the fluorescent screen above, an
exposure of thirty seconds is found
ample for n thorough study by the
surgeon. Then the screen is removed
and the red light turned on, eman-
ating from n dome over the table.
The dome carries twenty 25-cp.
lamps behind n double thickness of
pure ruby glass. An operation is
quickly performed. and then the red
light is turned off and another ray
exposure taken. if necessary, to re-
veal the next step in the surgeons
work
1T is we'll known that the human
eye exposed to light of primary
color, reacts by creating an after
impression of the Complementary
color. For this reason. the red illu
| mination actually makes the sur
geon's eye more sensitive and recep-
tive to the greenish- yellow rays
from the Horoscope. And, similar
ly the peculiar tint of the huores-
cent light accommodates the eye
to the red glow when the change
is made.
With this apparatus two brief
N-ray exposures were necessary for
removal of a piece of shrapnel in n
soldiers heel, while n similar piece
lmbedded in the thigh required six

scope and six intervals of ruby
illumination to guide the actual
