WITCH DOCTORS REMEDIES.
Superstition In the British Channel
Islands.

From letter IN the London Times
The accuracy of this story which was

Channel Islands this summer. is vouchei

man was very perturbed with the
condition of his wife. who was lying
dangerously ILL., He consulted a witch
doctor. who advised him to perform the
following test. which would indicate to
him whether or not his wife would re-
cover. "A circle was to be formed OF
mercury poured on the ground. In the
middle OF the circle dragons blood
(rosin obtained fromm D@monorous
draco) was to be placed and fired. The
direction in which the smoke travelled
would indicate whether the lady would
recover. The experiment was under
taken. and from the direction in which
the smoke blew death was predicted.
Apparently the experimenter was not
astute enough TO insure the smoke blow
ing at a recovery angle.
The witch doctor was again visited,
and she explained that the patient was
under the influence Of the evil eye. To
remove the spell the husband was d-
night. and II anybody was discovered
catching the house that person would

be removed by drawing his blood. The

neighbor to the conclusion that those

right minded and patriotic, met every
objection sincerely urged by Repub-

NIacSwiney.

Three months ago nobody on this
side of the Atlantic had heard Of
TERENCE MAcSwINEY. Yesterday,
when he died on the seventy fourth
morning of his hunger strike, he was
known to everybody who reads.
As an example of the power of the
individual to compel attention the case
OF MACSwINEY has been surpassed in
recent years only by that Of Miss
CAvELL. In the nurses case the In
voluntary sacrifice focused the gaze
of the Allied nations upon the shock
ing fate OF one easily visualized per-
son. MAcSw1NEY drew the eyes Of
the whole English speaking world
toward his fight against an empire.
Perhaps he began the hunger strike In
the belief that the Government would
yield, rs Ii had done in other cases
But undoubtedly the latter part Of the
strike was carried on in the full
knowledge that the Government would
not yield. The Government stuck TO
it's guns. and so did the Mayor Of
Cork. Failing to compel the Govern
ment 70 liberate him, MAcSwINEY still
could keep the centre of the stage for
his cause. 1t was inevitable that he
should arouse sympathy. What was
more curious was that he aroused, in
some quarters rage. Persons who did
not like his method wrote 10 the news
paper chilling him scoundrel as well as
sulcide-as II he were personally In
jurlng them by refusing to eat And
among the clergy Of MAcSwINEY's own
church there was debate as TO whether
II was suicide or n pardonable exam
pie of the double intent. AS an Instance
of the Importance which the case at
talned in the sphere of ethics IL iced
only be noted that the Pore has
deemed 1t necessary to submit the
question of MAcSwISEY's martyrdom
or suicide to the Congregation Of the
! Holy Office.
Assuming that MAoSw1SEY was
Justly imprisoned, assuming that the
British Government treated him In
Jail with the utmost gentleness, ac-
cepting as obvious that MAcSwfNEY
failed Of his original attempt to break
his jaIler's determination-stil 1t can
not he set down that MAcSwfNEY lost
his fight. For 10 be turned out OF
prison rs u stubborn hunger striker
would have been small political CAPT
tai rs compared with mn'rtyrdom; and
10 sim Fein the Lord Mayor is Il
martyr and n very conspicuous one.
Whatever MAcSwtNEY's intention
were ~ the beginning of his hunger
strike. Il is plain that toward the close
after the King and the Premier had
refused to interfere--his aim was to
die for the cause he had come TO repre-.
sent. Your Irish enthusiast does not
split ethical hairs, and 10 Sim Fem

WATCHFUL WAITING
AGAIN IN MEXICO
Recognition Will Await Abi-
ity to Keep Order.
spec,at Despatch to THE New York HERALD
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington ID. c., Oct. 20.

Washington, -. u, Oct. 20.
Definite failure of the mission Oh
Roberto Pesqueira to obtain recoghitlon
for the new Mexican Government was
made plain to-day at the state Depart
ment. where officials indicated that rec
ornition of Mexico would await much
more knowledge of the character ana
purposes Of the new Mexican Govern
ment than has yet been available.
DEPARTMENT officials have been plainly
restiye under the suggestion that the
mission of George Creel. which was fol-
lowed by the recall of Calderon and the
appointment of Pesquelra, has. been Off
cially performed and equally FESTIVE be-
cause of the suggestion that the Creel
mission was for the purpose OF override
ing the State Department in its dealing
with Mexico.
The state Department ia falling back
upon the declaration of the Democratic
piatform so far as recognition of the
new Mexican Government Is concerned.
This position is. interpreted as meaning
that IL Mr.. Creers influence is sufficient
to overcome the opposition OF the state
Department in it's attitude toward
Mexico II will have to be sufficiently
strong TO oblterate the declaration OF
the San Francisco convention. which
said that until the new Mexican Govern
ment shall have given proof of It's ability
permanently to maintain. law and order
and meet its international obligations,
Mexico must realize the propriety OF a
policy that, asserts the right OF the
United states to demand full protection
for it's citizens.
The state Department was INFORMED
to-day that NJ. +. Sevrey. an American
had been murdered in Cananea, Mexico
The American Consul at Nogales has
been instructed to have the local au-
thor,tles there take all possible measures
40 anprehend the murderer. The Consul
snid press dispatches reported that tht
murder was committed by Raymond
Navarro. miner who had been dis
charged by the Cananea Copper Com
pany. and who escaped. sevrey was
resident OF Risbee, Arlz.

LEAGUE ENTANGLEMENTS.
If America Got In Would the Cove
nant Ever Let Her Get Out?

To THE NEW York HERALD: Secre-
tary Colby says none sof the nations IN
the League can enter into new ar
rangement with us because the terms
OF the Covenant make 1t impossible for
them to do so. But the Covenant per-
mits withdrawal on two years notice.
and If each nation has the right TO de-
termine for itself when its obligations
have been fulfilled. as the President
SAYS. then n new league could be formed
in two years without in any way In
fringing any of the terms of the present
Covenant.
But perhaps Secretary Colby believes.
with the opponents of the League. that
the withdrawal clause gives the League,
and not the individual members OF 1t.
the right to decide when obligations
have been fulfilled. Under this inter-
probation unanimous vote would be
necessary to allow any nation to free
itself from League acknowledgements. and
such a vote would be almost impossible
as long as there was a single country
that benefited by the present anti
American Covenant
Secretary Colby's statement tends to
confirm the idea THAI once we get In we
never would be able to get out. But II
he believes. as the President does. that
we would be the sole judge when our
obligations had been fulfilled. ther0 he
must admit that all the nations could
withdraw by giving two years notice
and then enter into a new arrangement
with us.
It is better to wait two years, or ten
years II necessary. in order to get the
right kind of league than to go into
the present war breeding military
alliance that the Democrats are anxious
to fasten on the country for all time

General RUSH c. HAWKINS, who was
fatally hurt by a motor car on Sum
day. was one of those men who did not
measure a LIES work by the clock of
years. He was back from the Mexican
war and practising law in this city be-
fore some of our "old men" of the pres
ent day were born. His services in the
civil war as the commander of Haw-
kins's Zouaves were memorable. His
work as an antiquary and particularly
as collector Of books relating to early
printing added TO the stock of knowl-
edge. His most considerable writing
was done after he had passed three
score and ten. General HAwKINs's
death takes away one more useful old

ARTICLE x. A CONTRACT.
Its Acceptance Involves More Than a
Moral Obligation.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Nolun-
tary announcements of President WI
son supply the proof that Article y. OF
the League imposes not merely moral
obligation but also an unmistakaole
contractual obligation. having the force
and sanction of international law.
At the start OF his Western trip last
year President Wilson informed the peo-
pie that he would explain the meaning
of the Covenant Speaking at St LOUIS
on September 5, 1919. he explained AT
ticle X In the following words:
We are partners with the rest OF The
world in respecting the territorial lnteg-
rity and political independence OF tne
others. They are all uuder solemn bona
themselves to respect and preserve these
things, and II they don't preserve them.
IL they don't respect them and preserve
them, what happens7 The Council OF the
League then advises the several members
of the League what 1t is necessary to DO
Again, at Salt Lake City on Septem-
Der 23, 1919, the President said:
Why my fellow citizens. Article X. is
an engagement on the part OF the great
fighting nations of the world. because all
the great fighting nations are going 10
be members of the League, that they VIII
observe, respect and preserve as agairst
external aggression the territorial integ-
rity and existing political independence OF
the other members of the League.
This formal obligation of interna-
tional contract comes into being imme-
diately upon acceptance of the treaty
1t necessarily carries with 1t and makes
of equal solemnity the obligation to EN-
ploy all effective measures to fulfil It
Article VI of our Federal Constitution
declares that all treaties made under
the authority Of the United States sinai
be the supreme law of the land. Nattet
an authority on international Jurispru'
dence. says:
AS the engagements OF q treaty Impose
on the one hand perfect obligation,
they produce on the other perfect right.
He who violates his treaties violates at
the same time the law of nations.
Failure to perform the undertaking as
sumed under Article y. would involv'
grave consequences. The Supreme
Court of the United States has declared
that for the infraction OF treaty 6
remedy must be sought through recla
nations upon the party committing tn
breach. No one will doubt that th'
other members of the League. including
the powerful nations of Europe, woult
adopt and be justified in using, ade
ouate measures to compel this countr,
to keep its promise. or make AMENDS TO
its faithlessness.
