PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY,

One Warne was working Duluth's
men Of means for money for the North
west Warriors Magazine when, quite
suddenly, the legpuller- in-chief caused
his arrest on an allegation Of embezzle-
ment. Patriot Warne had no sooner
broken into jail than Jack Carney, .
red radical and refugee from British
wrath, handed the classy prisoner q
couple Of real dollars with which to
buy eatables.
In addition to the several serious
charges that Uncle Sam and even pro-
fsssional patriots arc pressing against

this ''visitor within our gates" Jack
Carney had best take care lest he be
arrested on the additional charge Of
setting an example in practical Chris
tianity.
It may be that Carney came by those
two dollars very easily, therefore did
not miss them, but he gave more than
did Leftenant- Colonel Warren e.
Greene who, a few weeks ago, was run
ming about the city, making fervent
speeches and helping roughneck swazey
and patriot Wa1ne In an. alleged swat
ting Of radicalism.
IF Carney really did annex those
two big, round dollars easily, perchance
ne found a poker game somewhere in
the vicinity Of Twentieth avenue west.
If that be 50, then the Liverpool boy
has found that much good in our evil
American social system.
Learning the great American game
Of poker and making successful use
thereof is at least something of a re-
turn for suffering persecution, prosecu-
ton and possible imprisonment for
preaching alien ideas. Any winnings
at poker probably are velvet, carrying
the fiery cross presumably bringing at
least bed, board and bit Of raiment.
The alleged burglar Burns, the Min
neapolis exterminator Of red-necked
radicals, should have chosen Duluth for
the scene Of his illega lact. Jack Car
ney might have tried to practice the
teachings Of Christ on that hard boiled
patriot, thereby laying himself liable
under the law, as in the case Of weak
Warne.
In his failure to come to the succor
Of embezzler Warne, his late night
worker in eradicating the reds from
Duluth, Leftenant- Colonel Warren e.
Greene slowed that he is a man Of
words rather than deeds. Many a silk
stockinged patriot seems to believe that
it is more blessed to grab than to give,
especially If the grabbing gets an Of
flee or an official appointment. Many
professional patriot also is utterly
opposed to muzzling the OK that tread
eth tho Masters corn, but that's an
other matter.

the municipal court was entirely made
quate in those days. Judge Powell
suggested the basement for a public
library and first floor quarters for his
court.
The estimated cost Of the extra two
stories and other improvements was
only $4,000 at that time. Nothing
came Of all the talk and preparation.
The city is using the same old building
today, although the municipal court
has overlooked into q nearby building,
whose rent would amount to enough in
a few years to put two additional floors
on the city hall, if men, material and
contractors profits were as reasonable
as in 1893.

Lords, which has shown itself much
more closely in touch with public opin-
ion than the House of Commons"
In the course of the debate to-day
in the House of Commons Sir Frederick
Banbury, president Of the Great North
ern Railway, told Lady Astor if she had
had mole arliamentary experience she
would not accuse members of saying
things which were not true. The de-
bate was on the age at which women
should have the vote. Ranbury said
that when the present franchise act
was passed it was said that women did
not want to sit in Parliament.
To this Lady Astor replied: "The
women didn't say so"
Banbury retorted: English women
did"
Lady Astor, who contended that
women should have equal rights with
men, charged that Banbury had beer
trying to wreck the bill.
Lady Astor lost her seat in the House
when the Speaker ruled that Sir Will
lam Joyrson Hicks, who had been alb
sent long time, was entitled to his
old place. Hicks said he had attended
in the House of Commons this morning
and placed his card on his old seat but
when the House convened after noon he
found Lady Astor's card there. Several
members contended that a woman mem
Der must accept the rules of the House
without regard to sex, and the Speaker
upheld them.

y. S. Must Aid
Armenia, Says
Greek Premier
M. Venizelos Believes Amer

PARIS, April 15.--America has not
yet finished her role in the drama of
the Near East, according to M. Veni-
zelos, the Greek premier. He believes
the United States has certain obliga-
tions to meet in Turkey which cannot
be avoided.
M. Venizclos is in Paris en- route
to the San Reno conference, where an
agreement is to be reached to dsarm
Germany; where the Adriatc kettle
will bubble; where Turkey will be par
celed into spheres of influence;
where measures will be taken in con-
nection with the league Of nations to
protect Christian minorities, and where
the vexatious problem Of Armenia ma y
be settled and a reply drafted to Presi-
dent Wilson'S note on Turkey
However detached America may be-
come in the other affairs of Europe,
she cannot fail to play an active part
in the Armenian settlement, according
to the Greek statesman. He said to-
day:
lit was America that taught the
Armenians the meaning Of the word
liberty; that first aroused the am
bition in their breasts to be free. I
cannot see how, on moral and humane
grounds alone, she can now refuse
material assistance to an oppressed
people"
M. Venizelos believes the United
States can fulfill its mission in Ar
menia without joining the league OF
nations. He has figures which will be
placed before the supreme council at
San Reno, showing the requirements
in men and money needed to put Ar
menia on her feet. These necessities
are much smaller than are generally
believed
"The reason why active American
participation and cooperation are abso
lutely necessary" continued NJ. Veni-
zelos "is because her presence will
lend us great moral support and tighten
the difficulties that may be encoun-
tered. The question is one of humanity
wherein America, to her honor, has
great responsibility. Americans have
by their sympathy toward the unhappy
people of Armenia, given them the
moral strength to fight for their in
dependence, and it is from the United
States that they have the greatest right
to expect material help.

BERLIN, April 15.--Count Won Bern
storff, former German Ambassador to
the United States, was on the stand
again to-day before the subcommittee
Investigating the prolongation of the
war, which, after five months vaca-
ton, held a one-hour session this af-
ternoon. 1t was suggested in one
quarter that, as Won Bernstorff is a
candidate for seat in the National
Assembly in the Forthcoming cleo
tions, the session was called to help
his chances by giving him opportunity
to reply more fully to the testimony
of General Ludcndorff. The committee
adjourned suddenly last November be-
fore the former ambassador could COM
plete his narrative
Won Bernstorff told the committee
that the German propaganda fund used
in America, amounting to only mil
lion dollars, had given Germany too
much father than too little propa-
ganda. Asked whether tl' revelation
of German plots by ag. IS of the
United States Department of Justice
interfered seriously with the propa-
ganda, Won Bernstorff called attention
to the statement that has been made
that 80 per cent of the so-called plots
were mythical.

course are reprinted here with great
satisfaction. and the conclusion is
drawn that France is losing the support
of ner friends.
Meanwhile, the Rhine situation, while
improving on the surface, is regarded
as unsatisfactory. The Socialist Dep
uty Oster,. of Wurtemberg, who has
been studying developments at close
range, warns that the present order
is "likely to prove deceptive" because
the surrender of arms has been quite
disappointing. He reports that less
than 10 per cent Of the weapons have
been given up; hence, there is feel
ing of great depression. because the
Reichswehr forces, which have been
preserving order, must withdraw.
General Waiter, the governments
military commander in the Ruhr dis
trict, has arrived in Berlin and is try
ing to convince the ministry of the
necessity of further advance of the
troops and reestablishment of drum
head courts martial.
"Vorwarts" warns the government
against granting General Watters's re-
quests, pointing out that the military
chiefs show lack Of political foresight
and that to revive summary courts
martial would "rekindle dangerous
smoldering fires" in the Ruhr Valley

BERLIN, April l5.-Dr Wolfgang
Kapp's adventure is about to be re-
peated in Pomerania, officials here be-
lieve. Reports Of popular unrest in
that region, as we'll as mutnous be-
havior of federal troops there. are
causing grave concern in government
circles Although the reports from
o'>- ----'e are rather vague. officials
feel that trouble is brewing ana arc
taking steps to meet it.
"Vorwaerts" to-day prints a declara.
'tion by the Socialist National Commit
tee urging the Socialists of the coun-
try to use the utmost vigilance The
newspaper also begins publication of
what 1t says is part of voluminous ma
teras which has fallen into it's hands
showing the Vaccinations of certain
army officers with various university
societies in Wuerzburg.
Separatist Movement
"Vorwaerts" says the documents
from which it's revelations are made
reveal the existence of the separatist
movement, which was first pointed to
by the Munich Post" The documents
printed to-day consist of the minutes
of secret meetings in February, when
the contemplated secession of Bavaria
was discussed.
The "Tage reports that the
Investigations of the government al
ready completed show that the con-
spiracy to overthrow the Berlin gov
ernment was more widespread than had
at first been supposed.
The conservative papers print re-
ports of serious discomfort among the
Bavarian troops on the Rhine because
of the restraints placed upon them.
They are declared to feel strongly
against the government and there are
threats that they will refuse to fight
further. 1t is represented that this
spirit of mutiny is spreading to other
fields.
This disaffection among the Bavarian
soldiers intensifies the ferment in
south Germany over the DISARMAMENT
of the home guards. The people there
are recalling experiences with the
Munich "soviet republic" and are re-
solved not to incur the risk of rene
tition.
Would Maintain Home Guards
The determination to maintain the
home guards seems to permeate all
classes, except the Communists and In
dependent Socialists The official Demo-
cratic organ Of Bavaria declares:
Let the Berlin government do what
partisan demands require; we Bava-
rams wilt accept no orders against our
home guards"
The peasantry are holding meetings
and adopting resolutions against "Bol-
shevik Berlin"
The testimony gathered by the Es-
sen courts discloses 1000 cases of pill
lage among the shops and homes there
during the recent troubles. The in
quiry has not been finished.
The prospect, as seen here, that
France will yield soon to British and
italian protests and withdraw her
troops from Frankfort and other cities
has inspired a feeling of reinsurance
regarding Franco-German relations.
Nevertheless, the newspapers are print
ing reports that the French are extend

that she take her part, with the other
powers, in doing an indispensable hu-
manita rian work. Armenia's needs are
really very small. She must have

moral bulwark against the hatred
of neighbors. 1t is estimated that at
the end of q year the Armenians Will
have an army of their own capable of

Nation Must Be Financed
~ have proposed that five great
powers each send one small brigade.
That is all and that will be enough:
half brigade. Altogether Armenia
will want only, say, 10000 men for one
year. You see this would not be
great burden on each country that
shared in supplying troops.
Armenia also will have to be financed
for the next eight years. The re-
ports we have before US show that
she will be able to take care of herself
financially nine years hence The total
sum which Armenia will require during
the eight-year period probably would
you think America will refuse a fifth
part Of this negligible obligation? I
don't.
"If we cannot after this war liberate
Armenia, it would mean the bankruptcy
of civilization. There is no reason why
America should have to join the league
OF nations to undertake her share Of
this sacred task"
Few public men in Europe have a
greater reputation than that enjoyed
by Venizelos. He was recognized by
those around the peace table not only
es great Greek, but as one of the
few statesmen of real genius in Eu-
rope to-day. No one who sees him can
fail to be attracted by his personality.
While Vcnizelos talks he accompanies
himself by quick, nervous gestures that
emphasize his eloQuence.
President Wrongly Informed
I asked him what he thought of
President Wilson's note on the Turkish
problem.

"Since the Balkan treaty of 1918

BOIL WEEVIL
MENACE
Experts Estimate The Probable
Damage This Year

A very important conference to
discuss ways and means OF meeting the
boil weevil menace was held in the
State House on Wednesday, January
21st.
The meeting was called by Governor
Cooper and attended by great many
legislators from all over the State.
Senator Alan Joilnstone voiced his
approval Of the object Of the meeting,
and pledged his support to any well
planned methods of procedure adopted
Senator Neils Christensen Of Beaufort
where cotton growing has been prac-
tically put out Of BUSINESS, also piedg-
ed his hearty cooperation. w. A
Preacher, mcnlbe. Of the house from
Jasper county, outlined the ravages
made by the boil weevil in that county
during the last year. He stated that
should the same damage be done next
year the people Of lis county would be
destitute and that hey would have to
call on the Red Cross for assistance.
Mr.. W. w Long o. the Extension de-
partment of CelInson College made an
interesting and powerful address. One
of the points touched on by Mr.. Long
was the amount OF damage which
might be expected in this State during
the coming cotton season. From the
representations Of cotton and boil
weevil experts, it was confidently stat
ed, that the pest damage will damage
the State to the extent Of twenty mil
lion (s2o, ,ooo,0oo) dollars, more or
less dependent rpon climatic cond1-
tons favorable to the boil weevil, and
that 80 far, this year, these conditions
were ideal for him.
The following figures were submit
ted. these having neen prepared by
Prof. A. F. Conradi state entomol-
ogist at Clemson and recognized boil
weeril expert, the first column OF
figures being the number Of bales
produced in the counties named below
in 1919, with the estimated losses un-
der favorable weather conditions this
year:

Mr.. Lcng also called attention to
the statement OF W. d. Hunter, head
of the Crop Pes, Division of the Unit
&c States Department Of Agriculture.
IN which he stated that the boil weevi
would cover the entire State Of South
Carolina, and that should climatic
conditions be favorable to the weevil
serious damage would be done to the
cotton growing industry as far north
as the counties Of Spartanburg, Green
vile. Anderson, esc.
It was determined to ask the leg
;slature for q Statewide boil weevil
fund and a committee wa.s appointed
to appear before q joint meeting OF
the FINANCE Committee o. the senate
and the Ways AMI Means Committee
of the house, on January 29th. MI. Z.
2 Sprott, who presided at this con-
ference. and who is chairman OF the

bankers, Chambers Of Commerce and
all persons interested to rally to the
assistance of the association by seeing
writing and wiring the members OF
their delegation, calling upon them to
support the movement for the provis-
ion Of this fund.
Mr.. Long, who has fought the boil
weevil from Texas to South Carolina
States that this is the first organized
effort whereby all interests have join
ed together in q combined effort to
lessen the devastation ard calamity OF,
this pest.
