"a Partv,s One Chance,

The New York World says that
''there is just one way by which the
covenant of the League of Nations can
be kept from being made. a party is
sue and ''that is by a Republican re-
treat all along the line" The World
was never more mistaken in its sweet,
young life. There is another and an
"only way" and that is for the Free
Traders TO forget partisan politics
long enought to vote against a mea-
sure which is so likely to become a
menace to the freedom and independ-
ence so dear to Traders and
of Protection should not be a party
issue and it is ceasing to be, for some
of our best Protectionists are mem
bersof the Democratic party The
question of the covenant of he Lea
que of Nations ought not to be par
ty issue. In fact it is not, for some
of the ablest and most active Oppon-
ents of the government are members
not of the Republican, but of the
Democratic party.
We do not believe that the major
ity of the Democratic Senators
would be willing to support the COW
enant of the League of Nations in
its present form if it were presented
to them by a Republican administra-
ton. That so many Democrats are
una1terably opposed to it is evidence
that their patriotism outweighs their
partysism. We look for other to
unite with them to defeat this COW
enant which is so fraught with dan
ger to our beloved country.-Ameri-

New and STRANGE LINGO.

There's a new lingo in France, &C
cording to word received at the Ameri-
can Red Cross headquarters. It's the
soldier patois, or elementary English
a la baby. It sounds something like
this:
go bile" gurgles the young French
person, wiggling tiny crooked finger.
go biiie," replies the soldier, max
ing various strange passes.

the part Of the wee French grille, and
''Allou" says she.
Then forward march," says some
body else, and the American army

eruption From the Sea That Struck
Terror Into the Heart of Youth
fuI Castaway.

J. Allan Dunn's "Jim and the Ad-
miraI," in Boys Life, contains this
passage: Jim is alone on an asoIl of
the South Sea islands when a band of
blacks invade his solitude
Something appeared on a seething
crest, a slender length of black like a
mammoth water beetle, striking out
=Eith desperate legs. The next instant
it slid sideways down the watery hill
and smashed upon fhe reef. a dozen
figures fell from it and then a dozen
bobbing heads appeared in the lagoon.
1t was a canoe. the bobbing heads
were those of natives.
while he stared, first one, then an
other, dragged a weary body up on
the beach and rested on hands and
knees with heads hanging down as i
exhausted. Slowly they got to their
feet and staggered up the beach.
''They were like no natives Jim had
yet seen. These men were black rath-
er than brown. Their hair stood up
in faniike frizzes, dyed yellow and red
by lime. Their foreheads were low,
eyes deep sunken, chins retreating.
The lobes of their ears hung in ragged
strips almost to their shoulders and,
stuck in the leathery fringes. were Or
naments of brass and shell. Save for
wisp of fiber they were stark naked.
And they were almost skeletons. Hips
and ribs showed through skin tight as
the parchment on drum, elbows and
knees were great knots and the legs
and arms mere bone and corded sin
ews. Their lips were hideously swol-
len and cracked. they leaned on long
spears. One, who seemed the leader,
with a flat shell thrust through the
cartilage of his nose, carried club in
set with cleaning bits of shell and
studded with sharks teeth. In the
lagoon. its outrigger smashed, drffted
their canoe, high-prOwed, deliberately

the changing of the burglar alarm at

ringing for some time and the longer
it lasted the more excited people got
who realized what it was The com
motion was finally allayed when il
was learned that the alarm was an
accidental one and that no effort had
been made to burglarize and rob the
bank
On inquiry of the bank officials il
was ascertained that Ernest Miller.

mechanism controlling the alarm. and
at the proper time, the gong was
