AMERICAN SUPPLIES IN ENGLAND PROBLEM

LONDON, April 2. - Disposition
of American army supplies in Eng
land will be a big and complicated
task. Owing to the nature of GER
tain contracts and an agreement
with the British government, the
army cannot begin selling material
for at least a month yet, in the
opinion of army officers, but they
are preparing the way now. Some
material still is being delivered to
the army while other contracts are
held in allegiance pending settle
ment.
When the United States entered
the war it was agreed that all con-
tracts for supplies should be made
through the British government.
1t also was agreed that at the ter
mination of hostilities the United
States should not sell material
without consent of the British gov
eminent, nor could any of the con-
tracts arranged through the British
be cancelled except by negotiations
through that government.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1919-04-05

Even if there are some delays
the United States government will
doubtless profit on many of the
sales. No agreement could be
reached with the firm which held
a contract to deliver to the Ameri-
can army about 200 huge gasoline
tanks for use in France. Delivery
is continuing, but 1t is not worry
ing Quartermaster officers, as the
army already has been offered
more than the contract price for
the lot. With some other material
the same situation obtains.
The work of settling unfinished
contracts is progressing, but Brit
ish officials are unwilling for a
huge amount of material to- be
suddenly dumped on the . market
Notwithstanding there is an in
sistent demand for some of 1t at
inflated prices. British officials
say there is no desire whatever to
deprive Americans of an advantage.

SPOKANE, Wash, April 2. =
Education and Democracy" was
the title of an address made here
today by J.. E. Jewell, dean of the
university of Kansas, before the In
land Teachers association. He
said in part:
The only democracy thinkable
is a democracy of intelligence.
Nothing else is possible.
'"It is not true that all men are
born free and equal, it is not true
that you can make a man by fiat.
A glance backward shows us that
man has enhanced his political, So
ciaI and economic status only he
he has worked out his own saliva
ton by means of an accommodating
intellect.
ut was because the more intel
ligent negroes discovered this law
to be inherent that Booker T..
Washington founded his school at
Tuskegee. No man has been
more outspoken in reinforcing this
psychological law than DR.. Wash

preaching to his people, on every
possible occasion, that only by ac-
quiring a higher degree of intelli-
gence could they make themselves

of American democracy.

they, also must consider the dis
posal of the enormous amount of
British army supplies stored in
England.
The American Red Cross has no
agreement with the British govern
ment and recently disposed of a lot
of motor transport equipment for
approximately $27,55O. The pur-
erase price was $24,5OO and the
equipment had been in use a year.
Amy kind of a motor is in great
demand in England.
No record has been kept of the
total amount of contracts allotted
for the American army in Great
Britain. but. like everything in
the war, it was measured in huge
figures. It is estimated, how
ever, that the ordnance contracts
alone amounted to about $780,
100000. Much of this, of course,
will not bring as good returns as
the materials coming under juris-
diction of the quartermaster's de-
partment.

UNIVERSITY DEAN DISCUSSES DEMOCRACY

that we can not get and promote
intelligence to any marked degree
except in our schools.
$50 far as our country is con-
cerned, at the present time, we
need two things, it seems to me,
in the way of bringing about an
intellectual democracy through the
medium of our schools and our
teachers. We need universal
training of our children in com
munity civics, and we ne need a
universal training in thinking. In
the first place, we need a universal
teaching of community civics so
that we shall no longer require
food dictators and coal dictators
and the like. 1t is evident that
our coal barons have not yet learn
ed that over-charging is treason.
The people at large have a better
right to live than coal operators
have to swollen fortunes. And the
ultimate consumer will have to
learn that for a man to cheat a
railroad is just as reasonable as
for a railroad to defraud a man.
1--WE should learn that COM
munity civics, and we need a
member of each household has GER
tain rights and each has CORE
spending duties. If our children
learn these in their plastic age it
will do much good toward insuring
proper standards in adult life"

earth has seen has been lost if
leaders have failed to appear or
to retain their leadership. 1t is not
accident that the epochs of the
worlds history are largely named
after individuals. 1t is hardly in
a ~figurative sense that Washing
ton is called the Father of His
Country, and Lincoln its Savior.
Consider the events that have
transpired in Russia within the
last few months. A revolution
came almost over night. but it
was not fortuitous. 1t came only
because the leaders of a blind peo-
pie had paid the price through
generations and had given their
lives to make easier the course of
freedom for the masses.
Democracy cannot be won by a
mere revolution that proves sue
cessful. The only democracy
thinkable is a democracy of intel
ligence. We realize now very
clearly that Russia is lost for a
generation unless it finds men
whose supreme intelligence shall
make them supremacy powerful.

IDENTIFY believe, that the only pos
sible democracy is that of intelli-
gence, what can we teachers do
about it? Just this. We can as

LONDON, April 8. Butchers,
drillers and turner's are practicing
dentristy in England. The only
restriction, aside from possible
suits, is that the operator" does
not call himself a dentist" or
dental practitioner" 1t is un-
necessary to register and anyone
may start in the business.
This condition with its resultant
health injuries has long been dis
cussed in medical organizations
without remedy, but at last it has
been investigated by a government
al committee. The whole sys-
tenn is criticized and the many
American dentists in London are
hopeful that parliament will stand
ardize the practice of dentistry as
it has medicine and at the same
time recognize dentistry as a pro-
fession. There is no such recog-
milton now.
Some of the American dentists
in London enjoy an exclusive Glen
tele, but the reputation of the
United States for good dentistry
has been seized upon by unquali-
fled persons in their flamboyant
advertisements. They may and
do advertise american dentistry
and escape the technicalities of
the law by not using the word

Pershing and the Y. NJ. C. A.
(From the PhiIa. Ledger)

Il
Those commanders "at the front"
know best what went on there, and
of all these most Americans will
agree that General John J. Pershing
is no minor authority. Hence, when
the leader of the American expedi-
tionary force in France in relieving
the Y. M. c. A. of it's canteen and
post-eXchange work expresses his
thanks for what that organization
did under untoward conditions. the
praise and the approval mean some
thing. 1T is to be remembered,
moreover, that it was because the
Y. NJ. c. A. took over this canteen
work so that the army would not
have to divert officers and enlisted
men from their paramount mill
tary duties and functions of training
and lighting" that its relations to
the men were both misunderstood
and grossly misrepresented. That
the Y. NJ. c. A. did great and
patriotic duty in accepting this bur-
densome and difficult assignment
must be admitted by any candid
investigator, but if there be any
who still have any doubts they must
melt away in the face of General
Pershing's Endorsement. The final
paragraph of this should be read
and reread by all who are trying
to get at the facts concerning the
Y. NJ. c. A.. since 1t is more than a
note of thanks; it is an explanation
and a vindication. For, as General
Pershing puts it:
"In making this change, permit
me to thank for the very valuable
services and assistance which the
Y. NJ. C. A. has rendered to the
American expeditionary force in
handling these exchanges. Handi-
capped by shortage of tonnage and
land TRANSFORMATION. the Y. M. c. A.
has bv extra eXertion served the
army better than would have been
expected. and you may be assured
that its aid has been a large factor
in the final great accomplishments
of the American army"

in view of the comprehensive and
dignified plans for the extension and
treatment of the State grounds.
So the revision of the real estate
valuation and the incidental tax as
sessment will mean the placing of
Dauphin county in It's proper rela-
ton to the government of the State.
For years there has been a demand
for better roads leading to and from
the Capital City and there is also
a reasonable demand for bridges and
other county necessities. Now is the
time of all times to provide these
things and the rich coal lands will
contribute the necessary funds with
out seriously embarrassing the gen.
eral taxpayer. 1t is reasonable to
expect that things will move more
rapidly from now on and that with
the passage of the bills prepared by
the city and county solicitors steps
will Immediately be taken for the
important public work that should
follow.

From the New York Times1
Capt. Theodore de Booy, the arch
Reologist and explorer of previously
unknown regions of Santo Domingo
and Venezuela, died the other day
at his home in Yonkers, N. Y.
Captain de Booy was born in Hell
levoetsluis, the Netherlands, thirty
six years ago; and came to the
United States in 1906, being natu-
rallied ten years later. Besides ex-
ploring previously unknown regions
inhabited by Indian tribes in the
mountains between Venezuela. and
Colombia, Captain de Booy con-
Quoted archaeological Investigations
in the Bahamas, Cuba, Jamaica,
Haiti, Santo Domingo, Turks and
Caicos Islands, Margarita, Trinidad, /,
Martinique, Venezuela and the Vir-

Since 1911 he had been in charge
of the West Indian archaeological
work of the Museum of the Ameri-
can Indian in New York city.
Returning in April, 1917, from one
of his trips, Captain de Booy
brought with him Swallow or re-
gurgitating stick" from the Virgin
Islands, where he had spent several
months in explorations.
The swallow stick" was believed
to have been used in worship by a
West Indian priest more than four
hundred years ago. 1t was about
five inches long, and carved from
the rib of sea COW, in the
image of one of the West Indian
tribal gods. 1t was said that there
were only three other such sticks
in existence. He also brought with
him on this trip 1000 specimens of
pottery, stone axes, stone chisels
and burial objects, these being

A MATTER OF HISTORY

TT Is a fine thing the War His
tory Commission is doing in its
effort to get a personal record
of every Pennsylvania who has en-
tered the national service. A war
service record blank has been pre-
pared and nearly two hundred thou
sand copies already have been cir
culated. OF the thousands which
have been returned to the files of
the commission nearly fifty per cent.
are accompanied with photographs,
letters from the front or camp, and
similar material.
The commission is being assisted
in distributing the blanks by the
county branches of the PENNSYLVANIA
Council of National Defense, by local
honor roll committees, by historical
societies, by war welfare agencies
and by local officials. If you have
been in the service or one of your
relatives is or has been, be sure he
is on record.

of the blank to any individual or or
ganization desiring to report upon
soldiers, sailors, nurses and other
persons who have entered the ma
tional service, and nobody interested
should neglect the opportunity.
Probably three hundred and fifty
thousand persons have gone from
Pennsylvania into the service. Some
have entered the armies or navies
of the allies; some have gone with
the National Guard, or as volnteers;
others have entered the service un-
der the draft acts. There should be
a record of every one of these per-
sons. Some families have already
removed from the State; and with
changes in industry many more may
go to other states or countries. 1t
is important that the record of
every one in the service be secured
at the earliest possible date.

"HE war is over, The Demo-
cratic administration spent a
lot of money wastefully. 1t
made lot of blunders. It's lack of
preparation cost a lot of lives. The
people know these things. They will
learn lot more of the same kind
as time goes on.
1t is the duty of the Democratic
party to give a full account of its
stewardship. 1t is the duty of Re-
publican Senators and Representa-
tives to point out these errors and
failures But it is very distinctly
not the duty of Republican leaders
at Washington to make Democratic
faults and failures the basis of COM
ing campaigns.
The people soon forget what is
past. Last Tuesdays weather may
have been disagreeable, but who re-
members what it was?
The Republican party has always
been a positive, aggressive organiza-
tion with distinctly constructive pro-
grams of progressive policies in the
foreground. The people of America
are looking to the future. They do
not trust the Democrats who re-
elected their presidential candidate
on the slogan "he kept us out of
war" the while he and his party
leaders knew we were headed direct
ly into the conflict. They are look
ing toward the Republican party
They expect that party to live up
to its great traditions. They demand
from it constructive craftsmanship
and practical. workable solutions to
the great economic problems with
which the nation is confronted. They
want to know what the Republican
party has to offer as a cure for the
ills the war and faulty administra-
tion have brought to us. They are
more interested in the future than
they are in the past; more concerned
with what the Republican party will
do than what the Democrats have
not done. Wise statesmen, like our
own Governor, see this trend, and
are acting accordingly.
