Owing to the shortage Of high grade
sheepskins a large number of glove

BY SWITZERLAND
Famine, Pesti|ence, Political
and Financial Chaos Re-
ported on All Sides.
By Cable to The Star and Chicago
Daily News. Copyright, 1920

GENEVA. June 12-The world as
seen from the impartial watch tower
of Switzerland. presents a truly SOM
bre picture.
Politically and economically the
dition. but they have no illusions
as to the state of the countries around
them. To the westward lie dangers
of financial collapse and political re-
action; to the eastward are famine.
pestilence and po itical chaos: Switz-
erland is like an island of calm in a
sea of distraction.
Dislike Versailles Peace.
The Swiss are a discreet people, not
much given TO rude criticisms of their
neighbors, but they do not like the
Versailles peace. In the nationwide
debate over joining the league of
! nations great argument of those
opposed was that the Versailles
league" was intended merely to en-
able the victors to keep their spoils,
and the best reply of those favoring
a league was that if Germany had
won the war the situation would have
been even worse.
But if the Swiss are discreet there
are plenty of citizens of the allied
countries now living in Switzerland
who are not and who utter outspok-
emily thoughts which the Swiss mostly
keep to themselves. Thus. Emily
Ralch, an American woman who is at
the head of the Geneva bureau of the
Women'S international League for
Peace, talks of China turning from
pacifism to armed force. fresh Ar
menian massacres under the nose of
the allies, the Balkanization of eastern
Europe, famine in central Europe and
disillusioned Indifference in America
She also predicts an alteration of white
and red terror in a long succession OF
horrors.
Use of Black Troops.
Roman ROLAND, citing H. G. Wells
to the same effect. declares:
1.-The European policy is reaping
what it has soWn for fifty years in
Asia and Africa. The introduction of
black troops in Europe is the logical
and massacre in Africa 1t was in
evitable that the governments should
make use for their foreign wars of
the peoples they have conquered.
Equally inevitable they will make use
of them in their future civil wars
Says Millions VIII Perish.
Prof. George D. Heron declares
that 100.O0O,000 Europeans will per-
ish within the next few months, and
dictions.
For example. he says that the war
was mere curtain raiser to the tre-
mendous struggle which is now about
to begin between capital and labor;
that bolshevism, which is essentially
materialistic and militaristic, has
been duping both internal labor and
internal finance and is cooperating
with the Russian reaction to make a
fresh onslaught on the western
world; and that British diplomacy
has defeated American finance.
the world esta ablishes something like
the early Christian communism and
arises regenerate, the twilight of the
white race has begun.
"Of this twilight" he says, "the
people are already talking on the
plateaus of Asia and along the
African rivers"
Prof. Heron calls the treaty of
Versailles a "Prussian peace-a peace
of usurers and concession seekers.

convoyer. The War Department is
authorized by, Army regulations to
substitute relative or friend of the
deceased for the official convoyer. An
nouncement is now made that the

nish transportation to the substi-
tute in such cases from Hoboken.

It cannot however. furnish transpor-
tation to Hohollen. nor can it pay any

the new arrangement is made so that
relatives may secure early control of
the bodies of their loved ones and
hestow on them that sympathetic care
they naturally desire to give. The

Tractors Help Solve Labor
Problem.

''Thes farm tractor is taking its
proper place in the agriculture of the
state as result of labor conditions"
says E. B. Doran, assistant professor
Of agronomy, Louisiana State Uni
versity. The tractor situation is the
same wherever you go in that its sue
cess depends upon the kind Of ma
chine used and the efficiency of the
man operating it. The failure of most
tractors is due to inefficient opera
tion.
farming with tractors may or
may not be cheaper than farming
with horses, but the advantage Of
tractors lies in their capacity for
doing a large amount Of work in a
short time, thereby allowing the far
mer to take full advantage of favora-
Bile periods for working his crops. The
tractor will be more and more ap-
preciated as the shortage Of farm
labor grows more acute.
