FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1920

States, where famine IS unknown, and where rainfall, even though some times tardy, has always been sure to come over most of the agricultural area soon enough to prevent any loss of crops great enough to seriously af- feet the food situation of the coun- try.
 A In many of the sections there has been no rain for two years and con- sequently no crops. The poor crea- lures who inhabit the stricken areas have now become so reduced for food that they have stripped the trees bare of leaves which they mix with weeds, chaff, and a few particles of grain and then bake. The result is a cake which resembles baked mud Even this poor substitute for food has given out in many sections and thousand
 Farm animals are almost given away, in some places, because there is nothing to feed them and no fuel to cook them if killed. Whole fami- lies are committing suicide, and in- stances of parents selling their chil- dren, or throwing them into a river are common
 It is estimated that minimum or two hundred million dollars worth of the plainest food is needed to pre- vent the greatest loss of life. Even if this were immediately available the obstacles in the way of rapid and ex- tensive distribution are so great that it is probable that all of the stricken people could not be reached in time.
 Forty-two years ago in 1878 there was another great famine in China, but in that case there was 8 wheat crop the year before, and it did not begin to reach the proportions of this one. The present one is an appalling thing and will probably be rated as one of the most terrible things of the kind which ever happened either in China or elsewhere.

RELATED

TT N THE same paper the other day,
 almost side by side, were two Texas stories.
 One told how twenty-five masked men had entered the county jail at Fort Worth, taken from the custody of the jailer and his assistants white man accused of murder, and hung him to a nearby tree.
 The other told of the alarming condition of the schools in Texas That last year there were fifty thou sand children who did not attend school at all. That the State is short two thousand teachers. That many of the teachers are mere boys and girls at least eighty per cent That fifty per cent of the country teachers held only second-grade certificate and that forty thousand children were taught by teachers who had never been above the eighth grade them selves.
 It would be too much to say that in this particular case the breakdown of the schools was the cause of the lynch:ng. But there is a distinct rela tion between the two things. It is not too much to say that the break down of the schools will furnish a soil which will make possible other years.
 Texas, nor no other state, can ex pect to place children in the care of
 
 teaching and there come out from the schools a set of men and women filled with the highest American ideals and fitted to cope with the problems of life.
 It is a mistake to think that all there is to schooling is the acquir- ing a certain number of facts. A school, to be worthy of the name, should develop and build up charac- ter as well. How can a teacher inn part that which he or she has not themselves?
 Texas is an extreme case but the same sort of conditions, Tn greater or less degree, exist all over the country. The facts are not at hand to analyze the causes of the Texas condition but is much more than probable that it is due to a short sighted policy of economy on the part of the State.
 Nothing but the finest characters and the best brains are good enough for American schools. They can not be secured unless the rewards are al least the equal, if not the superior, of the opportunities in the business and professional world.
 Deteriorated schools produce a set of citizens ready to adopt any sort, or any number, of isms; public ready to be famed into the lawless spirit of lynching at any time.
 Any community which believes diff ferent is deluding itself.

MAY BE PROBE
 ON HOLOCAUST

(Continued from Page One.)
 from normal Both the father and mother are reported to have been heavy drinkers Mrs. Yamowavitch fell from a motorcycle about month ago and received injuries which later resulted in her death, under peculiar circumstances.
 The daughter, Anna, IS, who lost the case of Charles Lincoln, of Fair field, which came to the attention of the police some time ago. Lincoln is now serving six months sentence in the county jail, as the result of serious charges preferred against him, and will face additional charges soon as his term is completed. The dead girl, however, was not held after the police had completed their investigation of her activities.
 In view of all these conditions, some investigators have expressed the opinion that they would not be surprised if the father had taken the kill the youngsters, fire his home and despondency.

 murder and suicide accompanied the ire. Persons who saw Yamowavitch Wednesday night, declare that he was sober at that time, and did not seem to be particularly downcast.
 The daughter is firmly convin nced that her father would not have killed her brothers and sisters, and views
 he affair a terrible accident Alfreda quarreled with her father and older sister a few weeks ago, and then went to live at the home of friends.
 People who live in the vicinity of the Yamowavitch home are inclined
 0 believe that the father died hero while trying to save the lives of his children. It is the opinion of these persons. well as a number of off, cials. that an oil stove exploded and set fire to the house. Yamowavitch rushed into the room where his chil- dren were sleeping. in an attempt to rescue the youngsters. and then found his own escape cut off. Grouped TO- gether in a corner of the room the father and children could only wait until suffecated by the smoke and heat.
 Neighbors who arrived at the scene of the blaze shortly after the fire was first noticed by Leon Zbyeniewski a Bridgeport titney driver, said today that they saw one of the children try to break through 0 window. The child was overcome by smoke and fell back into the blazing room. It was announced at the office ot Coroner John J. Phe1an, that no date has yet been set for an investigation of the fire. Medical Examiner Don- aIdson, of Fairfield, has reported the affair to the coroner, but has not made reference to any suspicious cir cumstances surrounding the deaths.

TIden and Johnston
 Capture Dauis Trophy h Neu ZeaLurad Match

Auckland, New Zealand, Dec. 31- The United States won the Davis Cup when William T. Tilden, 2nd. and William J. Johnston. the American chal1engers, defeated Norman E. Brooks and Gerald L.. Patterson in thed oubles match. The scores were 4-6, 6-4, 6-0, and 6-4.
 Today's victory gives the Yankee team the necessary three matches out of the five scheduled, to lift the famous tennis trophy.
 The doubles match was hotly con- tested Brookes and Patterson win ming the first set mainly because Johnston was slow and not able ito get into his stride.
 Johnston's brilliant volleying de- cided the second set. The Californian had hit his stride and his playing was too much for the cup defenders. Pat terson seemed to lose confidence af- ter the second set and the Americans then won the match handily.
 Tilden played a steady game throughout but the victory was chiefly due to the sensational playing of Johnston.
 The big crowd heartily eheered the Americans.

 Resting Easily

New York, Dec. S1-Enrico Caruso was reported by his nurse to have spent fairly comfortable night and to be resting more easily this morning."

 Dr. Philip HorrowitZ stayed with the noted tenor throughout the night

Washington, Dec. sI@Renewed and strengthened opposition to the omni- bus tariff bill was seen today in the return to Washington of Senator Boies Penrose of Pennsylvania.
 Before his arrival last night, Pen- rose communicated to several of his colleagues is opinion that the bill is "i1l-advised" and "emotional."
 Even though he is not yet a well man, he can even from the suite of rooms he Is occupying at the Ward man Park Inn, do much as chairman of the Senate finance committee to influence the course the bill takes in the Senate, it is conceded by Demo- cratic and Republican Senators alike.

KISSING THE HARNESS

D FADING THE accounts of the IN return of King Constantine to Greece produces a feeling very much akin to nausea. Forced to leave his throne and country during war time because of intrigue and German sympathy, he now goes back to be welcomed with senseless adul- ation, much after the fashion of the days when there was slight distinction in the popula- mind between q king and god.
 After all that has happened since 1914; after such a discrediting of kings and king business; after such a drenching of blood of which Greece was not able to escape her share, his greeting with the shouting, the hilari- ous joy, and the excitement, at its climax the crowd breaking out of bonds and rushing into the street to kiss the harness of the horses draw ing the Kings carriage. seems unac- countable.
 It is just another evidence. how ever, of the fickleness, the shallow ness, the childish desire for change. and an atavistic craving for old syIn- bcls, old fetishes, and old subservi- ency on the part of the "dea:. peepui..
 Here in this country we too have seen an evidence of the same ir- pulse. Only a few weeks ago the attractions in the prospect of "a change sent the populace trooping gayly after the banners of nor malcy," Thigh tariff and the catch words of a generation ago.
 The uplft and advancement ot q race or a nation is usually q slow and discouraging process which in cludes many an ebb and flow. Like that of the transgressor the way ot the reformor is hard, for he finds that the multitude, having been drag ged forward, are prone to scam per back again to welcome normalcy and kiss the harness of the Kings horse.

D'ANNUNzI0 IN
 AERIAL FLIGHT

Paris, Dec. 31-Gabriele D'Au- nunzio is attempting to make his way from Plume to this city by air plane.
 D'Annunzio formerly lived here and would be sure of refuge among his numerous political and women ad- nirers.
 Italians base high hopes in inter- national policies for 1921 chiefly on the settlement of the Adriatic ques- ton. The government by it's ener- getic action against the D'Annunzio government at Plume, showed it's earnest intention to carry out the treaty of Rappalo and thus remove any cause for suspicion against Italy.
