With Destroying Much Food

(From the European bureau of the
American Issue, SO Fleet street,
London.)
Great Britain is waking up to the
evil of the rat and is proposing to take
drastic steps To prohibit--not To regu-
late--the vernain. The personal liber-
ty of the rats are not to be considered
for moment
On July "a Lord Aberconway moved
the second reading Of the rat destruc-
ton bill. which empowers local au-
thorities, where they are of opinion
that rats are causing preventable dam
age to or destruction of foodstuffs or
crops within their district, to take
such measures as they think proper for
the destruction of these pests. The
noble lord mentioned that the damage
and loss caused to foodstuffs and crops
by rats had been estimated at as
much as f40.oo0.0oo year.
Lord Lambourne and Lord Rleds-
loe~ supported the bill.

of agriculture. in welcoming the bill.

more drastic measure dealing with

ment would shortly introduce He
Hoped the mouse would give the Dill
a second reading. on the understand
ing that as soon as the government
bill was brought before their lord
ships it should have precedence over
the bill now under discussion.
The bill was read a second time,
the protests of the rats and their
rights of vested interests not being
considered at all.
The American method OF eiiminat-
ing an evil bears promise OF being
adopted SO far as the rats are con-
cerned. =

OF Martin Van Buren,, the times when
the executive was what Admiral Dewey
vainly imagined it still, to be, mere
tool of the legislative branch. The
word ''rebellious," whether applied
TO a branch of the executive or felt
in the minds OF men hostile to the
whole executive, is a word not of
1919 but OF 1870,

A CROOKED RESERVATION

senator Lodge, in the majority re
port of the Senate Committee on For
eign Relations, says of the second res
erVation To the covenant of the League
OF Nations
This reservation is intended to
meet the most vital objection to
the league covenant as II stands.
Under no circumstances must
there be any legal or moral obi
cations upon the United States
to enter into war or send its army
and navy abroad or without the
unfettered action Of congress to
impose economic hoycotls on
other countries. Under the Con-
stitution of the United States the
congress alone has power to de-
clare war. and all bills to raise
revenue or affecting the revenue in
any way must originate IN the
house of representatives. be pass \
by the senate and receive
the signature OF the President

In our city work for civilians, the
call for educational films with a bit
of comedy thrown in has been way
/ in excess of what we have been able
to supply writes Director Reitzel.
Russian educators, who are members
OF our committee on city work, all
testify to the great possibilities of this
sort of work as an educational feature.
The showing of educational films has
not been confined to the Y. NJ c. A.
buildings alone: programs have been
given gratuitously in city schools and
before other large groups, such as rail-
way employees, sport clubs. Boy Scouts,
soldiers, etc, so that it thus becomes
a great possibility for extension work.
The value of all this is brought
home to US when we realize that good
pictures offered to the general public
in the moving picture theaters are in
crasing. Also we must realize that
the greatest number of these films
were produced in Germany
"A year ago in Nladiyostok practi-
cally ali the films shown were of Ger
man origin and had running through
them subtle thread of German prop
uganda. Thus, we see very good rea-
son for maintaining counter-attrac-
ton and the great need of securing
the right kind OF filnss Al the pre.>et
time we have machines placed in the
city work at Vladivostok, Habarovsk,
Hardin. Irkutsk Omsk and Tonsk.
There has never been any doubt
in our minds about the value of the
educational f1fYll IN the peasant villages
of Siberia When we see the great
need of education there and realize
that the enlightening influence OF the
{,,ta
change of ideas have been practically
confined TO the intellectually walled
cities of Russia. further, when we
realize the dearth OF books, other read
ing matter and all the modern facili-
| ties for public enlightenment, and also
consider that even though there were
an abundance OF such things 10 to so
per cent of the peasants cannot read
| or write. we can appreciate what a
scientific shortcut in the problem of
| educating the peasant Is a picture
thrown on the screen.
| The simple peasant can understand
with delight and interest, and when
| he hears the Interpretation gTven by
capable and sympathetic lecturer in
| the language of his own village, he
beams with delight as the wonders or
the outside world are unfolded TO
him.
