A Celtic Parallel
To the Editor of The Tribune.

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Congratulations on your edi-
torial "The Unanswerable Fact" Let's
forget MacSwney for q while and think
of the outrages committed by the early
Christians on the poor Roman lions.
All that those tough old theatrical
maniacs had to do to save themselves s
from suicide and the poor lions from
indigestion was, in most cases, to
stretch out hand and sprinkle little
incense on pagan altar. The incense
was there. The altar was there. And
the poor lions were there. Those early
Christians certainly were foolish
birds. How could any sane man think
he could be of use to his faith in the
stomach Of lion?
UNANSWERABLE.
Brooklyn, Sept. 10, 1920.
lBut why not make the parallel
really accurate? If the Christian
martyrs, well-fed and safely housed,
had eluded their Roman guards and
hurled themselves to the lions, in
sistlng upon suicide, would they
have secured veneration as inno-
cent and devoted martyrs? Would
they not rather be regarded as high
minded but none the less misguided
and mistaken fanatics, for whose
end they had themselves alone to
blame?--Ed.l

But "Thc Moth and the Flame" is one
Of the liveliest of our fond recol-
lections. 1t was sung by Helena Mora,
the female barytonc, and it ran-though
we may have a word or so wrong-thus:
At a gay reception given in q mansion
grand and old,
A young man met the maid he used
to know;
And once again the story of his honest
love he told
The love he'd cherished since long
years ago.
But she sighed and sadly murmured that
her childhood love was past,
And soon another man she was to
wed.
The lover knew the other man already
had a wife,
He bade farewell, but as he went he
said:
CHORUS
"The moth and the fame played q game
| The game of woman's heart
And tho moth that played was a maid,
J they say,
The flame was bad mans art
The moth never knew, as she flew go
near,
| That flame was the light of shame.
But she tluttered away just in time, so
they say
That's the tale of the Moth and the
Flame"

Mexico City, Oct. IL The re-

ned under the Carranza regime
will go far toward suppressing
crime and benefitting the moral
and economic condition of the poor

Mexican reformers.
Far from being a debasing in

season marks a decided decline IN
drunkenness and crime and an in
crease in efficiency of labor. They
explain their contention by point
ing out that Mexican workmen, as
a. rule, cannot afford both to at
tend the bull fight and frequent
the pulque shops.
Bull fights as a general rule are
held on Sundays and holidays Ii

plan is this: The causes of war In
the past have been:
First, the seizing Of territory
by one nation from another by

Second, the practice of secret
treaties under which the local con
troversy is apt to involve dober
nations.
Third, the immense nationa

Are Lost In
Liberty Bond Crafts
Says ChiefDetectiUe

Washington, Oct.11-"War pros
perity opened the gates for swind-
lers, and in get-rich-quick. schemes
of varied kind. Americans have
been fleeced of hard-earned cash
running high into the millions,
with the heaviest losses falling up
on that hard-working element least
able to sustain them"
Chief w. H. Moran, of the Unit
ed States secret service, today thus
briefly diagnosed the money man

Chief Moran said that the doings
of adventures of the type Of

motive the desire to 'get some-

violation of postal regulations
Having had no official connection
with the case, 1 would not discuss
his methods. But with the opera
tions of et-rich-quick promoters
operating along slightly different
lines, 1 am perfectly familiar.
1.-THE flood of money turned loose
by the war seemed to spur the

Such unScrupulouS persons have
taken the entire country for their
field of operations and some of the
promoters almost defy detection,
SO smooth are the methods en-
ployed.
I'VE are gradually wedding out
these kind of promoters in an en-
deavor to protect Liberty bond in

"Other swindlers are purchasing
Liberty bonds from their owners
at prices far below their actual
worth. I have discovered that these
swindlers get the attention of bond
owners through advertisements
calculated to make the unsuspect-
ing bond holder believe that the

ed for his bond through the agency

bring to justice all who seek to de
fraud the people who patriotlcail

Scores of swindlers have bee
lcaught by the secret service throug
the aid of postmasters who hav
detected changes made as to own
