THE POWERS AND GREECE

8IOOUBTLESS the premiers of France and Great
- Britain are honest men. else they would not wish
to warn the people Of Greece Of the troubles they
may encounter if they recall Constantine TO the throne,
but they are not as wise as hey might be CT they would
not permit their honesty to get the better of heir judg-.
ment in such a delicate matter as this.
The people of the lesser countries develop a con-
.eepton Of national dignity in inverse ration 10 their
national strength. AT least that is the way it is apt
to strike any one who makes Il study Of the .touchi-
ness Of the people OF Lain America with regard to
the policies of the United States. 1t would not be at
all surpising that in the past two years The Greeks
Shaye come to feel pretty much about The two great
tdemocracies of Western Europe who have SO COM
pletely dominated the peace business since the United
States withdrew from participation in European aE-
fairs, as Mexico feels about the United States, for
instance.
Therefore if Great Britain and France actually
do issue the warning mentioned IN the dispatches Of
1t would be worry natural indeed If the
Ggeeks react to 1t in a manner precisely opposite to
the way the governments of France and Great Brit
ain desire. The best thing to do with regard to the
Greeks is to let them alone. 1t is their government
and they have a right 10 order it in their own way.
Moreover they are quite capable of weighing cor
recty the advantages and the disadvantages of re-
calling Constantine.

THE UNITED STATES AND HAITI

~ MEXICAN participation in the government of
"a Haiti is now under fire. 1t began with charges
that helmarines who have been stationed in this black
republic have been gully Of wanton murder and it
has developed to he point where the president has is
sued statement in which he declares that The civil
administrators who have been placed in Haiti by the
American government are even more oppressive than
the military.
The whole incident Illustrates The difficulties Of
trying 10 do a good deed in a wicked world. The
people of Haiti have proved that they cannot main
tain order. The island was fast gong back to bar
barism when the United States, confronted with the
responsibilities imposed by the theory that if we in
sist upon the Monroe doctrine we ought at least to as
sumo the duty of policing the lawless countries of the
western hemisphere, stepped in. Since that time Haiti
has been a fairly peaceabIe and prosperous country.
But the peace and prosperity arc ilksomc, appar-
emily, and the people arc trying to get rid of their
American control" If they succeed they viii lake

what the Americans have been doing in Haiti. in spite
Of the benevolent motive seems all wrong but what are
E going to do about it2 The people of Haiti when
they begin to kill and bum inevitably get themselves
into trouble with the government Of other nations. The
usual result of that is a cruiser or two and a sGf in
demnity. That cannot be permitted in the case of an
American republic, but an exaspeatcd Europe reports
that if we will not permit any one else to discipline the
recalcitrant we ought to do it ourselves.
The result Of that has been hat we have several
protectorates which We try to forget, and Usually
coed in forgetting until the matter i brought to the sur
face in some way such as the Haitian affair Is now, and
unless the public can devise a way in which to make the
people of the offending little countries behave about
the only thing we can do is to sit tight.

From the Coal Trade Journal.
A good start In the direction OF

the announcement that the btu

ducers, wholesalers and retailers
have been asked to name represen-
tatiyes TO serve upon u small, joint
committee that would be, because

has been missing in the past the
formation OF such a committee is

and independence of tho industry

In tho past, unfortunately for
the trade as a whole, there has
been too much talk of cooperation
and too little bona fide achieve
ment aIonS that line. For the most
part, the cooperation with which
the industry has had to deal has
not been the genuine drtlcle.
There has been q surfeit OF post

variety that vanished in the cold
air of the workaday world. What
ever sincerity such cooperation
possessed has been smothered to
death in effusiyeness. Then there
has been the type where, under the
gulse OF cooperation, n fncttOn
OF the trade has schemed to use the
other factions as catspaws to pull
burning chestnuts from the fire.
1t is time to cast both these
cOunterfeits into the discard. II is
time to really unite upon those
problems upon which Q common

The statesmen who are transactinG business In
the name OF the. League. Of Nations at Geneva may
not know it, but they are dealing with highly IN
t%lammabIe stuff when they deal with the fate OF
Armenia. In the years past about the only thing
that craftsmanship thought of it connection with
the affairs Of the Arnenians was how the govern
ment at ConstanlinopIe would take it, but there is
a new problem now and it grows out of the fact
that the Armcnians have engaged the sympathies
of the western world and if the League of Nations
does not do the right thing there is bound to be a
back fire which will make a lot Of trouble.

The results Of the Red Cross roll call here are
most gratifying and they ought to be quite satisfac-
tory to the offices of the local chapter. The effort
this year was based upon the Red Cross's peace time
record and it was, comparatively speaking, rather
quietly conducted, yet the enrolment is flatteringly
large and the only inference Ia that the organi-
cation both locally and nationally continues to have
tho confidence and support of the public.

in 1881 and began its career under the
sign of "Au Pigeon" Then later the
sign changed to EAU Pigeon Blanc
and for two centuries the inn was the
rendezvous Of the university students.
After 1870 the sign was taken down,
the Pigeon Blanc's hospitality ceased
and the house became the headquar.

FELL TO R00SEvELT'S SPEAR
Bio DeViIfish a Victim OF the Colonel'0
Love of Sport, Either on
Sea or Land.

The fame of the late Col. Theodore
Roosevelt as big-game hunter is well
known, but he was equally as adept at
killing big fish Of the sea, according to
Russell J. Coles, noted big-fsh killer.
Attracted by one of Coles articles
about killing the devilflsh. the colonel
appealed to him for instruction In the
art. After taking several land lessons,
using a spear with which he saw an
expert, and Mr.. Coles formed a party
to hunt the devilfish off the coast Of
Florida, In Punta Gorda, March rs.
1917. There the colonel killed his first
devilfsh, hitting the huge creature,
which weighed many tons, just two
inches from the spot indicated on a
drawing by Coles, and driving the
spear two feet four inches through the
heaviest and boniest structure Of the
fish. The colonel was standing on the
cab of a small boat travelling nine miles
an hour, and the fish was coming to-
ward the boat at the rate Of Is or IL
miles an hour, swimming about four
or six feet under water. Had the
colonel missed his aim the fish would
have been able, with one of its side
fms, to upset the boat and drown the
fishermen. An hour after his drst
catch the colonel killed a second devil
fish, which was the second largest
devilf1sh ever killed. Mr.. Coles is a
scientist who has hunted devilfish for
more than 20 years.
