DRAWN WITH MASTER HAND
Walter SCOTS Portraits Of the Past 4
Notable Contribution to Eng
- r Iish Literature.

= No wonder that Walter Scott, who.
having shown the world in the Min.
strelsy and The Lay that he was ed
itor and poet, and being himself a
novel reader, should be utterly dissat-
isfied with the quality Of the existing
supply. The French Revolution, dis
tinguished by its leveling principle and
action, had ended in substituting q
feudal empire for an effete monarchy {;
and even when Napoleon was redivid-
ing Europe into Kingdoms and princi-
palities for his family and his follow
ers, there had sprung up-or rather
revived-a deep devotion to the chiv-
airy which had done so much in the
past, {sand whose traditions had in
grated grace into history and breathed
reality into song.
10 this feeling, this principle, Scott
had ministered in his poems; and now,
acknowledged head of the romantic
school, he resolved to extend it's lin
its, beyond the ballad to the narrative
poem nnd use prose rs the more, suit
able medium. He strOve to .delineate
the past as it seemed in the eyes of
men who were dubious of the present
and afraid Of the future-nOble, state
ly, glittering and gay, with the pulse of
life ever beating to heroic measures.
His View of feudalism in "The Tails
man.. "Ivanhoe'' and '"The Fair Maid
Of Perth" was not the caricature, a
few preceding authors had drawn, but
portrait-faithful, if idealized.-

The Navipendulum.

One Of the problems which naval
architects have to confront is the roll
ing of ship on the waves, and the
"navipendulum" is an invention for
dealing with it experimentally.
The apparatus. consists of two
parts: A plate to rwhicl, Ia motion cor
responding to that: Of portion of the
surface Of a wave Isl impaired. and a
pendulum OF a peculiar shape which
rolls upon the moving plate in the man.
ner of a vessel supported by water.
The same pendulum can be made
to represent different vessels Of given
size. and shape by adding or removing
artificial resistance to the oscillatory
motion. - = 49,
This instrument has been employed
to study the rolling. of the Italian bat
tleships rs well as those Of other
countries. !!%- -:

greater task even than the winning OF
the war now confronts us. 1t is the
task Of eonQuering ourselves.
Good American citizenship means
making the most of ourselves and our
Opportunities as Americans. and it
means helping our neishbors to do
likewise. Americanism. as conceived
by the American Legion, has for it's
first task the education of all elements

of German Political Life.

Berlin, FEB. rs. - Matthias Err
berger last night rendered president
Ebert his resignation as minister OF
finance, basing his action upon a de-
sire to have the investigation Of his
alleged falsified tax returns proceed
without prejudice or consideration
for his official position.
While tho official announcement
assigns this as n reason. the min
listers retirement and Its alleged
motive were completely eclipsed by
the character of evidence which DR..
Karl Heffelrich. former vice chan
cellor. succeeded in piling up against
Herr Erzberger during the last two
days Of the formers libel suit
against him.
Twenty years ago rural school,
master. the stormy petrol" of Ger
man life, Herr Erzberger. has been n
conspicuous figure in Germans post
war area.
Under Secretary OF State Mosell
has been selected to succeed Erz-
berger as minister OF finance.
Mosell was appointed a deputy to
Erzberger on Jan. 27. The retire
ment of Erzberger from the cabinet
Is only temporary. according to one
newspaper. Newspapers whose sym
pathies are with the right" say the
retirement is the first step in his
fall.

British Comment Mixed.
Announcement of the allied policy
toward Russia has evoked mixed
comment from the London press. The
Times, which is q strong opponent Of
bolshevism, accuses Premier Lloyd
George with having for more than a
year Sought for his own purposes to
throw weak. ignorant and reluctant
Europe into the venal arms Of her
bolshevik seducer." 1t says the coun-
ellis announcement is an indication Of
the progress which Lloyd George
now considered he has made toward
his goal. The next step is to COM
promise Europe beyond recall"
"As the development Of the pre-
mier's soviet intrigue shows" the
Times continues, "tact and patient
perseverance, are the instruments by
which to decoy the unsuspecting to
apostasy and shame"
The Daily News says the new pol
icy bears all the earmarks Of a COM
promise, having manitestly emerged
from a conflict of views but that the
balance Of the good side predomi
mates.
Thea Chronicle. which has lately
advocated a peace with the bolshev-
Xxi, says the decision makes a big
step forward.
"The allies" the Chronicle says
"have plainly entered the path at
which the end is peace. They might
have taken another path toward the
same goal"

clared today at the United States

president.
Counting the non-ratifying states,
those which have not voted for state

voted against federal or state prohi-
bition in recent years" he said, I'VE

majority, of the whole number. There

fifteen of which are not included In
the foregoing. In these states the
people have reserved to themselves
the power to approve or reject at the

must be counted as states which

have total Of forty in which people
are either opposed to prohibition or
have been denied their right to pass
upon it. No wonder the proponents
Of prohibition fought tooth and nail
to prevent the people from voting"
Feieenspant Bitter.
National prohibition in FORM" Mr.
F'eigenspant continued, has been
brought about in the United States
by application Of principles most
abhorrent TO the American people.
We see the destruction Of Individual
rights and we see propety establish
ed and encouraged under the law
amounting in value to hundreds of
millions wantonly destroyed.
The So called eighteenth amendment
will be obeyed by us as long as It

obeyed as long as 1t continues to

1T is part Of the dry propaganda
to pretend that the American people
thru their own actions have brought
about the situation. The American
people have never voted on national
prohibition. They have never. been
permitted to do so. Only one state

DEMPSEY INDICTED
AS DRAFT DODGER
Champion Pugiiist Charged With
Violation of Law by Evading
Service During War - His Man
aqer Also lndicted-Charees Based
on Story Told by Mrs. Dempsey.

San Francisco, Feb. 25.-True bills
were voted yesterday against Jack
Dempsey, heavyweight champion Of
the world and his. manager, Jack
Kearns, by the United States grand
jury, charging violation Of the draft
law. Indictments will be returned
against the accused men Friday.
The jury voted after hundreds Of
letters written by Dempsey to his
wife, Maxine Dempsey, and other
documentary evidence were placed
before it by United States Attorney
Annette A. Adams.
AS result Of evidence secured the
grand jury Immediately began an in
vestigation of charges presented by
the United States attorney that
Frank Spellman, a Los Angeles NOV
ing picture promoter, had perjured
himself. when he testified before that
body when called as witness for
the government.
The indictments which will be- re-
turned against Dempsey and his
manager will be for conspiring to
violate the selective service law and
an indictment charging direct vio-
lation of this law.
The federal grand jury investiga
tion of Dempsey Was the result Of
charges made by Mrs. Maxine Demp-
sey, his divorced vito. that at the
time Dempsey secured deferred
classifi fication in the draft she was
supporting him and he was not sup
porting her.
She claimed to have letters writ
ten by Dempsey to prove that he
and others conspired to evade milf-
tary service. These charges were
denied, and Mrs. Dempsey, on being
given an initial payment of $1,000,
signed an affidavit that her charges
against Dempsey were not true:
Frank Spellman and Jack Kenrns
agreed to have Mrs. Dempsey ap-
pear before Assistant United States
Attorney Thomas and deny the
charges she had made. She appear
ed, but upon examination by the fed
eral prosecutor and government wit
nesses admitted she had been in
duced to make the affidavit. She
then agreed to testify before the
grand Jury.
