Samuel Gompers, president Of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, who has been at"
tending the Labor Congress at Amsterdam
Holland, has sailed from Brest for America
on board the steamship George Washington.
He is coming home in response to urgent
cablegrams calling upon him to cut short
his visit in Europe
In Speaking with the Associated Press COR
respondent at Paris, Mr. Gompers said he re-
GREETED the necessity OF breaking number OF
engagements and the impossibility of con-
tinuing his study of the European situation,
adding:
But matters at home are more urgent.
and I want to get back as soon as poss1ole
to help all l can in the solution Of problems

Sir Horace Plunket, one of the directors
of the Irish Dominion league. referring to
published statement that the league was
Lloyd GeOTge-inspired," said today:
"There is no foundation, l regret to say,
for the suggestion that the prime minister
has directly indirectly given more en-
coura cement to the leagues program than to
the Sim Fem. When Lloyd Georges policy
appears on the film it is far more likely to
feature partition than the unity of Ireland,
which the league is convinced can be best
secured on the dominion plan"
The Irish Dominion league is composed OF
men who believe that Irish republic is
unattainable and undesirable, but that a
prompt measure OIL nome RUE on the 'Iull0St
colonial lines is urgently necessary. 1t was
formed last June.
French pilots and observers killed and
wounded during the aggregated 60 per
cent of the total flying personnel of slightly
less than 5000 men. The percentage of loss
was greater than that of any other branch
of the French army.
Pilots and observers killed at the front
numbered 1910 while ,451 are missing and
are believed to be dead. There were 1922
pilots and observers wounded at the front
and 1927 killed in flights in the of the
fighting area.
Marshal Foch and Marshal Joffre are the
only Frenchmen to receive the British Order
Of Merit. Until last year Japan was the only
foreign country to receive the honor, Yama-
gaia, Togo and Oyama having been appointed
to the order. 1t was founded by King Ed
ward to mark his coronation in 1902.
That Germany is looking to the far east
in her plans for future development is ap-
parent in the plans she is making for send
ing newspaper correspondents to Japan and {.
other countries in the east and the develop
ment of far-eastern news service, says a
dispatch from Toxic Japan.
Former Emperor William, who has been
living at Amerongen since his arrival in Hol-
land has purchased the estate and house of
Doom at the village of Doom, near Utrecht
Holland according to the Dagblad. Inc es-
tate was bought from the Baroness de Beau
fort. 1t is about five miles north of Ameron-
gen, in the direction of Utrecht.
The eX-crOwn prince and the ex-crown
princess who will go soon to Holland, will
remain in the small house at Wieringen
occupied by the former crown prince, and
their children will reside with the burgo-
master there.

THE SWORD OF THE LORD
BY THE REV. CHARLES STEELE.

BY THE REV. CHARLES STEELE. &
Gideon lived at time in the history OF the
ISraeliteS when they were regularly and SyS-
tematically robbed by the MidianiteS.
One day he was working in the field threSh-
ing wheat, to hide from the enemy.
And God called him.
If you'll take the trouble to ook it up, you IL
find that when there's great task to be done,
God always calls man who is already busy
He never uses Stacker. .s--
The story shows that Gideon was not only
working to save his wheat, but he was greatly
concerned about saving his people
It's the man who is deeply interested in the
great problems of the people that God callSt
to become the leader of the people.
Now Gideon wasn't quite persuaded that God
would deliver the lsraelites. These people of
his had been prosecuted so long that he had
almost lost faith in God.
But God was patient with Gideon. He took
time TO prove to Gideon that He would stand
by him
The Almighty isn't waiting for perfect men
to carry out His planS-He takes men as
they are and makes them strong through the
experiences He gives them-that'S what He did,
to Gideon--so that he fully trusted God
But the most important thing about Gideon's
campaign was the fact that he was ready 10
carry it in the very unusual way that God
commanded him to do.
1t was natural for Gideon to want to send
out call for an immense army, But God cut
it down to three hundred men.
And weapons? Did you hear of an
army that carried only trumpetS, lamps and
pitcherS1
VBut-they secretly carried "the sword of the
Lord" This was only figure of speech, but
it meant they had God with them.
And that night 10000 MidianteS were killed
in the darkness they slaughtered each other
And Gideon'S confidence in God was INDICATED

DREAMERS AND DOORS
By H. AddingtOn Bruce

~ He fashion of sneering at sO-called
'dreamers" is still unhappily prev
alent among those who pride them
selves on being F'practicaP' men. They are
only too ready with jibes and jeers at the
"Vsionaries'
But you will notice that contempt for
dreamers is seldom voiced by men who
conspicuous doors of the worlds work. This
for the excellent reason that they conscious
ly or subconsciOusly appreciate that they
themselves have been dreamers in some de-
gree, and that dreaming is always indis-
pensable to the highest doing
Of course there are some dreamers who
never do. 1t is these to whom Sir Charles
Walston refers in his striking passage:
THE mere dreamer gaZes upon the bril-
liant sun until his vision is dimmed and his
whole brain lapses into a hypnotic state.
The world outside the immediate radius Of
this brilliant sun. is one great darkness, and
he eXpends the weakened energy which is
left to his somnolent nature in railing at
this darkness and despisng it,"
Yet even Sir Charles Walston is not quite
fair to dreamers of this extreme type. They
are not without value to society. If they
accomplish little nothing themselves, they
often have the merit of inspiring dreams in
other men more capable of accomplishment.
And always, as already said, the doing Of
great things depends the dreaming of
great dreams.
There is not an invention achieved by
man-lrom the making OF the first stone
ak to the construction of the newest model
of airships-that did not have a dream be-
hind it.
The gigantic WoolWorth Building in New
Tork-one Of the wonders of the modern
worlds a product of dreaming. So, at
the other extreme, is the tiny eye in the
myriad Of needles used the world over to
make the clothing Of civilized mankind.
If we are able every day to get the news
from the earth's far corners it is only he
cause many men have dreamed to good pur-
pose. The telegraph, the telephone, the
transoceanic cable, the printing press, every
element in the transmission and publication
OF news, has been made possible by some
body's creative dreaming
The halls in which we dispense Justice the
chamber wherein we enact laws, the whole
fabric of OR democratic organization Of So
ciety, resulted from the dreaming Of Wis
ionary" dreamers. If orr ancestors had
been content ever to do and never 10 dream
we should still be ensIaved IN the igno5!e.
british, almost brainless life Of the aga OF
barbaTism.
In the earning Of our daily livelihood every
one of us is indebted to some dreamer. And
the measure Of our own efficient DOING is
always efficient dreaming Dreaming lit
of our God-giyen faculty Of Imagination
we shall always lag in the great mob Of the
mediocre
Wherefore, instead Of sneering at dream
ers it will be the part of wisdom to study
them, and ourselves to become dreamers g.

BIDDING UP THE MASSES
BY Dr.. Frank Crane

When l wrote some time ago in these col

still medieval, had not felt the vivifying
breath of democracy, and would never min

until Artists quit painting canvases to hang
in rich mems dark parlors, and carving stat
ues to set up in stuffy museums visited by
but few, and turned their attention to show
ing common folks how to have artistic back

artist by the name of Biddle (from Philadei-

IF further evidence were needed that
government across the Rio Grande has
broken down, it would be furnished in
the enforced payment of a fifteen thousand
dollar ransom for the release of two Ameri-
can army avators held by Mexican bandits.
When asked for appropriate and effectual
action on such affronts the Carranza regime
can reply only that it is impossible in those
sparse1y settled regions to apprehend the
criminals or in any wise to fix guilt.
It needs no statement from the Mexican
minister to tell us this. For many an irri-
tating season outrages against foreign resi-
dents in that country-British and French
we'll as Americans gone unreproved
of justice. CarranZa is very vigorous when
it comes to giving out bravado regarding
the United States and showing indignity to
the diplomatic representative of Great Brit
ain. But he is apathy personified when it
comes to protecting his country's interests
and honor.
1t is not to be expected and certainly not
to be desired that the Washington Govern
ment should move in these matters with the
haste of passion. But it is plain from the
official utterance that something must be
done. We may be forced to adopt radi-
cal change with regard to Mexico il
the lives of American citizens continue to
remain unsafe, and these murders continue
by reason of the unwillingness or inability
of the Mexican Government to afford ade-
quate protection" These are meaningful
words. 1t is to be hoped that they will
prove effective in Mexico.

ing whether the Germans couldn't make

Bethmann Hollweg's Farming.

OINCE his comparison of solemn treaties
to scraps of paper, Won Bethmann Holl-
veg has borne rather an unsavory dis
tinction. 1t has been pretty widely sup
posed, however that notwithstanding the I'M
happy remark he was really against the in
vasion Of Belgium and, indeed, against the
war from the beginning, although his own
better judgment as Chancellor was over
borne by the militarists. He had long pro-
fesaed an earnest wish for an entente with
Great Britain, and probably would have wit
messed it's consummation had not Potsdam
precipitated the crime Of 1914. Certainly
eraI and his personal inclinatons were to-
ward peace
The impression from these facts is now
heightened by the disclosures Of a recently
published letter Of Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg wherein a deal Of interesting his
tory is let out of the bag. Bethmann Holl-
veg, it appears, warned the Field Marshal
against the consequences of unrestricted
submarine aggression, telling him and the
other war lords that Americas eaSy-gOing
disposition could not be presumed upon too
far. interestingly enough, moreover, Bern
storff supported the Chancellor's position.
But there was no denying Prussan ambition
and no convincing Pr1ssiah egOtism. All con-
serVative and pacific counsels were swept
aside in a mad determination to reach re-
gardleSs of cost, the goal which had been set
in 1914 And as far as the record
reveals Bethmann HOllweg was of the
exceedingly few leaders in Germany who
reasoned with discernment and foresight.
