"This simian World" by Clarence
Day jr., at first makes you rather
ashamed that you belong to the human
race, but at length more than d little
proud Of tho fact.
AnAtols Franco in an extrao rdinarily
good humor might have written the
book. To our way Of thinking, 1t is
one Of the best pieces of satire from
tho pom Of an American.
II in your youth you have been ex-
posed to the usual academic biology,
anthsopolosy and philosophy courses
you will not lesrn much from "This
simian World" but you will be re-
minded Of u lot you had half forgotten
and, in addition, you'll think Of these
reeollected things while reading and
you'll think of them afterward.
Perhaps, because the book gives you
no actually new information. you may
not like it. 1t will bear out Mr.. Days
contention II you don't. Humans, he
says, collect knowledge as jackdaws
collect pebbles. They stuff their minds
to plethora with facts and then search
haavon and earth to And more.
The world. he insists. is ruled by
super-simians, instead Of by super
eagles or supcrants, because Of two
qualities inherent in man--insatable
curiosity and Unsuitable sex hunger
With these as engines man has outrun
all competitors.
Other animals than tho monkey might
have done pretty nearly as we'll with
this world if thoy had had the chance
to take the lead, Mr.. Day seems to be-
lieve.

tBy Morning journal Special Leased Wire,

Paris, Jan. IS. (by the Associated Press
supreme council has drafted a note
to the Dutch government asking for the
eXtradltlon of the former German emperor,
1t will probably be sent Saturday.
The note refers to Article 227 of the
treaty of Versailles, and invites Holland to
join the allied powers in the accomplish
ment of this act.
Article 22 of the treaty of peace with Germany
declares:
"'The allied and associated powers publicly ar
raign William H. OF llohenzoern, formerly Ger
man emperor, for supreme offcnsc against inter
national morality and sanctty OF treaties.
"A special tribunal will be constituted to try the
accused, thereby assuring him the guarantees es-
sential to the rights Of defense. 1t will be COM
posed OF five Judges, one appointed by each Of the
following powers-namely: United States of Am
erica, Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan"
The article also declares that it will be the duty
of the tribunal to fix the punishment which it con-
siders should be imposed.

London, Jan. 15.--Sentence of
death will be imposed on the enemies
of the soviet government hereafter
only when approved by the all-Russian
extraordinary commission, according
to a wireless dispatch from Moscow
today. The Bolshevik announcement
asserts that a return to methods of
terrorism will be made necessary only
by renewal of attempts on the part

The extraordinary commission the
dispatch adds, declares the defeat of
Generals Yudenitch and Denikine and
Admiral Kolchak. together with the
latter's imprisonment, and the cap
ture of Rostov, Novocherkassk and
Krasnoyarsk have created new con-
ditions in the struggle against a
counter-revolution in Russia.
Destruction of the eounter-revolu-
tion and the annihilation of bandits,
the commission says, affords us the
possibility of abandoning the extrem-
ist measure of punishment, namely,
the shooting of enemies of soviet Rus
sia. The revolutionary government is
glad to state that the fall of Rostov
and the capture of Admiral Kolehak
affords it the opportunity of putting
aside the weapons of terror"

Washington, Jan. 15.-Controversy
over awards of war service decora-
tons by the war department was wild
oned today when Secretary Baker
made public a letter to Representa-
tive Gallivan, democrat. Massachu-
sets. challenging statements made a
few days ago by the latter in the
house regarding former chiefs of staff
while Gallivan amplified his previous
charges in a written statement.
Mr.. Bakers letter dealt with the
military records and war service OF
Gen. Tasker II. Bliss and Major Gen
erals Hugh L. Scott and John Biddle,
predecessors of Gen. Peyton C. March
in the office of the chief of staff.
The secretary denied emphaticaily
Gallivan's statement that these Off
GERS had been removed for inefficiency
and said he made the letter public as
the only means the officers assailed
of answering such charges.
Representative Gallivan in his state
ment declared only one enlisted man,
apparently by error" had been
awarded distinguished service medal
while 554 officers and thirty-three
civilians had been given this decora-
ton. He quoted figures as to awards
made, adding that he did not desire

tBY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LtAsso wiRkI
Iandon, Jan. IS Thy the Associ-
atcd Prcss) Before peace with Ger
many is % week old, the British pub
lie has been brought up sharply
against the possibility of another
war. Winston Spencer Churchill,
secretary for war, Walter Hume
Long, first lord of the admiralty;
Baron Beatty, commander of the
grand fleet, and Field Marshal Shr
Henry ii. Wilson, chief of the inn
perinl staff, left IondGn tonight, hay-
ing been hurriediy summoned to
Paris for consultation with Pre-
mier Lloyd George and other British
officials there on important military
and naval matters.
This summons is inevitably con-
nected In the public mind with the
scml-official statement published to-
day, calling attention to the threat
cning situation i'm the middle east
as result of the bolshevik military
successes, which have given the So
Wet virtual mastery of the whole OF
European Russia, for, although II "a

that vicinity.
HAVE ENORMOUS SUPPLIES.
BY their victories the bolsheviki
have obtained command of enor-
nous supplies of food, raw materials,
coal and rolling stock and other
means of transport, af which they
formerly were in need.
Speculation is active In the Euro
pean capitals as to what will be the
next move of the bolsheviki. 1t Is
regarded as certain that, flushed with
success, they will not he content with
their present conqucsts, but will seek
to extend bolshevism either eastward
or westward. Expert military Opln-
ion inclines ia the belief that their
next move will be an attack on Po-
land and the Baltic states, and War
saw dispatches to the London papers
already Sndicate that the Poles are
fully anticipating such move.
MAY MOVE EASTWARD.
The soviets now undoubtedly COM
mand formidable forces, but not sut-
Gcicnt to warrant an attempt to ad-
vance both east and west. Against
the likelihood of an attack on Poland,
which, IL is said, would be popular
with the Red generals, is the fact
that the boIshevll flanks would bo
exposed on the north ia an attack
by the Let's and on the south to an
attack by the Rumanians.
The semi-officaI statement issued
in London today seems to indicate
that the British government Is moro

Education and Health

We endorse the principle Of
federal aid to the States for the
purposes of vocational and agri-
cultural training.
Whenever federal money is
devoted TO education. such edu-
cation must be so directed as to
awaken in the youth the spirit
of America and a sense of pa
triotic duty to the United States.
A thorough system of physical
education for all children up to
the age OF 10, including ade-
quate health supervision and in
struction, would remedy condi-
tions revealed by the draft and
would add to the economic and
industrial strength of the ma
tion. National leadership and
stimulation will be necessary to
induce the States to adopt a
wise system OF physical train
ing.
The public health activities
OF the Federal Government are
scattered through numerous de-
partments and bureaus, result
ing in inefhciency, duplication
and extravaganza We advocate
a greater Capitalization of the
Federal functions, and in addi-
ton urge the better co-ordina-
tion Of the work Of the Federal,
State and local health agencies.

Regulation OF Industry and

We approve In general the

since tho known certainty Of a

provide American business men
with better means Of determin-
ing in advance whether a pro-
posed combination is or is not
unlawful. The federal trade
commission under a Democratic
administration has not accom-
plished the purpose for which 1t
was created. This commission
properly organized and its duties
efficiently administered should
afford protection to the public
and legitimate business in this

Banking and Currency

The fact is that the war, to a
great extent, was financed by a
policy of imitation through GER
tificate borrowing from the
banks. and bonds issued at ar
tificial rates sustained by the
low discount rates established
by the Federal Reserve Board.
The continuance Of this policy
since the armistioe lays the ad-
ministration open to severe
criticism. Almost up TO the
present time, the practices OF
the Federal Reserve Board as
to credit control have been
frankly dominated by the con-
vcnience OF the treasury.
The results have been a great

portant as its independence OF

the maintenance OF those prin-
ciples Of liberty and law and
order upon which our govern
ment is founded. Both national
and State governments should
encourage in all proper ways the
acquiring of homes by our citi-
zens. The United States govern
ment should make available the

tion should be kept up TO date
