THE PEOPLE WANT TO
UNDERSTAND.

@HE people wish to under
Ill stand the reason which
~ impel the United State
to ratify the treaty as a meam
of terminating the war with
Germany, and to enter the Lea
que of Nations as a guarantee
against further international
conflicts, is the most eonspicu-
Gus feature of the Presidents
tour. The Senatorial oppon-
ents of the League and the trea-
ty have continued their obstruc-
ton because they refuse to
subordinate personal and poll
teal bias in the interest of the
country.
In all great issues in the his
tory of the United States, the
people have shown a willing
ness to make their decisions up
on the facts and according to
their conscientious judgment.
IN the last analysis there is little
partisanship among the masses.
They may at times be moved by
sentiment in their choice of can
didates-for personality may
attract or repel them-but in
every mater of policy they have
uniformaly judged and acted
solely upon what they consid-
cred its merits.
The question of ratifying the
treaty and of approving the
covenant of the League is not in
any sense partisan. The Presi-
dent is making that abundant
ly clear. No Republican need
desert his party to favor the
League. He may act &c an Am
erican in this crisis without
ceasing to be a Republican.
When that truth is impressed
on his hearers and readers by
the President, the opponents of
the League will appeal in vain
to the partisanship Of their fell
low Republicans among the
people. And it is evident from
their desire to understand-to
learn the facts-that the peo-
pie viii accept the Presidents
view and give him their sup
port.

ABOUT THE STARS
The Galaxy or nIilkey way

Who has not gazed with wonder and
admiration upon the beautiful encir-
cling light known as the milky Way
No wonder the ancients applied to II
fantastic names. "The Great White
Way" THE Road to Heaven" ''The
River Eridanus7, etc, but studied in
the light of science it is the most stu
pendous object presented to human
ken While to the unaided eye it
seems to be a vast indefinite scarf Of
light, when viewed through the tele-
scope is resolves into myriads of stars
SO far removed that separate vision
is impossible. Their number is esti-
mated by learned astronomers to be
a hundred million and their distance
from ten thousand to twenty thousand
light years While to the eye they
seem to be crowded and EVEN matted
together, yet in reality they are sepa-
rated by millions and millions of miles
all whiriing with incredible rates of
speed. Considering each one a sun,
and each sun surrounded by planets
and satellites like our own Solar sys-
tenn the vastness of it becomes appall-
ing.
The Milky Way completely eneircles
the universe like an immense wreath
or garland through in places there are
well defined spaces which are entirely
void like windows looking out into the
blackness Of night. On account OF
their biackness they have been term
cd "coal saclts'' and have been
source Of great interest. Though Of
small area as the casual observer
sees them they cover many billions of
miles in extent.

POLI'S.
The daring and sportsmanship Of
Paul ]. Rainey, the explorer and
scientist, are illustrated by the re-
markable motion pictures at Polls
African and arctic hunted after the
game OF the jungles In true, life-like
style.
Those who would sit In adverse
judgment Of such q production be-
cause II does not contain the imag-
mary thrills Of q Fake moving pic
ture would do we'll to reflect that 1t
took considerable courage for Mr..
Rainey to grind away at q moving
picture machine with a charging lion
forty PAGES away. That fact Is per-
haps overlooked by the casual sur
Veyor of these truly remarkable pic
lures.
The bleak, desert life Of Africa, the
cold barren wastes of Siberia and the
spfritIess streets OF China are brought
before the eyes by Rainey's pictures.
The climax of the production is
reached when the photographer trans
plants the lion hunt to the Poll stage
and shows every move the hunters
made over a course Of many miles
his own jungle.
The courage of the small dogs that
Mr.. Rainey took on his expedition Is
nothing short Of marvellous. For q
forty-pound Airedale to attack a. fnH-
grown, raging lion, roaring as the
hunters hold him at bay, 10 an IN

commonplace. .t-
The Rainey hunters tree an African
Cheetah. A Mississippi hound tries
to climb the tree In which the animal
has sought refuge, and almost sue
ceeds. He SEXES the huge cat by the
leg but the animal fights him away.
The African hunter goes under the
tree, takes cool aim with his bow and
arrow. One well-placed shot, and the
fight is over. The eheetah leaps from
the tree and the dogs finish It.
Photographing wild beasts at close
range must be difficult work For in
stance, one scene at a water hole in
the desert shows many kinds of ami
mails drinking at the same time. There
is the two-horned rhinoceros, the big
African elephant, the timid zebra, the
agile buck, and the hideous wart hog,
all holding their peace while they re-
fresh at the common fountain.
A lake of flamingoes furnishes the
most beautiful picture OF the Rainey
collection. Thousands of these beau
tiful birds alight at the feet OF the
camera man and feed from the fish
they have picked out of the water.
When the Ralney hunters, almost
at the end of their expedition, find
Mr.. Lion in a bush excitement has

to reCklessness, torment the beast
until he is brought into the open. He

spectacular and dramatic

stand with few equals IN hlmdom.

for their fidelity TO original Chinese
scenes.
