PACT RECALL THREAT
President Tells Allies Agreement

Adriatic Notes Reveal Complete Dead

ment-AIIies Seem Surprised.

Washington. President Wilson, in
his reply to the British French premi-
ers on the Adriatic question, adheres
to his previous decision chat unless
the terms Of settlement are returned
to the provisions of the agreement of
December s, he must take under seri
Gus consideration" the withdrawal OF
the Treaty of Versailles and the
French alliance from the Senate.
With the exception of the last reply
OF the premiers, the exchanges on the
agreement and the subsequent agree
ment communicated to Jugo-Slavia
last month by the British and French
premiers, were made public today by
the State department.
Would Continue Old Order.
Holding that the provisions of the
agreement sent as an ultimatum to
Jugo-Slavia would merely continue
the old order of things which brought
so many evils ON the world, President
Wilson, in his first communication to
the Allied premiers, declared that if
such were made effective the time had
not come when this government can
entertain a concert of powers, the
very existence of which must depend
upon a new spirit and new order.
Premiers Cite Changes in Opinion:
Premiers Millerand of France and
Lloyd George of Great Britain, in re-
ply, stated that changes in opinion and
circumstances had occurred since the
original proposal to which the United
States was party was drawn, which
changes evidently were not fully ap-
preciated in the United States.

miers' note stated, consequently view

League OF Nations. Hope is expressed
by the premiers that the United States
will not wreck the whole machinery
for dealing with International dis

United States los MT accepted In par
ticular case.
In his last note, the President re-
iterated In an emphatic manner his
stand, from which he asserted there
could be no departure, as the course
decided on by the premiers would be

the terrible sacrifices OF the entire

Efforts For Adoption Of Universal
Training As To Be

Washington. @The efforts of The
American Legion for adoption OF ma
tional universal military training po-
icy will not be halted because House
leaders have decided to sidetrack the
issue III considering the pending army
reorganization bill, Thomas w. Mil
Ter of Wilmington, Del, announced,
speaking for the Legion's special mill
tary committee of which he is chair
man Efforts to secure adoption OF
such a policy at this session OF Con
gress would be continued he said,
adding:
ut must not be forgotten that the
terms of the members of the present
Congress, as well as all legislation
pending, do not expire until March 4,
1921"
Mr.. Miller presented to the Senate
Military committee a series OF pro-
posed changes in the pending Senate
army bill which, he said, were urged
in ''Order to make dOubly sure that
the President and, Secretary of War
and not a general staff clique, would
run the army" His proposals in
Guided an amendment to place the or
ganizatiOn and administration of the
National Guard in time of peace di-
rectly in the hands of the several
states Another suggestion was that
regular officers be not eligible to COM
mand units of the National Guard.
Appointees to West Point would be
required to have served one year with
the United States army or three years
in National Guard or the universal
military training course under an
other amendment. Still another would
limit the general staff to 100 officers,
25 of whom would be reserve officers.
1.-THE Legion feels" Mr.. Miller said,
that eventually the country will real
ize that a sane, universal military
training policy with a small regular
army and a National Guard, operated
under the plan proposed in the Senate
bill, will be of less cost to the country
each year than the present system of
a large regular army and National
Guard operated under the present ma
tiOnal defense act.

hi this connection attention is called
to the fact that the pandemic of 1889

Epidemics of influenza have visited
this country since 1641. 1t is interest
ing to know that this first epidemic was
brought here from Valencia. Spain.
Since then there have been numerous
anidemicS of the disease. In 1889 and
1890 the disease was epidemic over
practically the entire civilized world.
Three years later there was another

has shown that it did not originate in

We know that there was an undue
prevalence of influenza i'll the United

disease occurred in mild form. and
because the public mind was focused

Of the disease escaped attention. Not

it excite any special interest.

SHAMANS KEEP THEIR POWER
Alaskan Natives Still Believe implicit
iy in the Words and Actions
GO "Medicine Men,"

Shamanism, or superstition and sor-
Gerry, always has played an important
part in the life of the Alaskan native.
So implicitly does the Alaskan believe
in the words and actions of the sha-
man that a whole tribe go hungry rath-
er than incur his displeasure by eat
ing foods he has tabooed.
The shaman attained his position
and power by unusual methods. BY
fasting and prayer amid the solitudes
of the woods or mountains, where he
fed only on grasses and roots, he
prepared himself to become a shaman.
BY this method it was believed the
candidates body became sufficiently
purified to become the abiding place
of spirits.
Usually the spirit. willing to abide
with the shaman, sent the novitiate a
land otter which the candidate killed.
the otter's tongue TO be preserved as
a talisman away from human view,
for should it be seen it was believed
the shaman would go insane or be
turned into the animal from which
the tongue was taken.
Thus the land otter was regarded
as too sacred to be killed by other
than shamans.

CHURCH SMALL BUT FAMOUS
Brent Tor, on Coast of Devonshire,
England, Has Been Prominent
Landmark for Centuries.

Brent Tor is a little bit of stone
church built high on the frowning
cliffs of the wild North Devonshire
coast in England. The church is so
little that a Devonshire yOkel with a
keen sense of humOr is said to have In.
scribed this cryptic warning, which
puzzled many supplemented Devon
shire farmer: IF you get into the
second aisle of Brent Tor. you will
never get out gain" There is no sec
ond aisle in the wee church at all.
Brent Tor was built centuries ago
by a man who was lost among the
steep cliffs and rushing waters of the
wild North Devon coast. The fog
mists enveloped him. In his anguish
as the roar and spray of the cold At.
lantic assailed him he vowed solemnly
that if he everocame safely out of the
fog without pitching into the growing
ocean he would build church where
he landed. Brent Tor was the result.
The good folk round. about Devon
shire tell how the devil tried to ham,
per the building of the little church.
At last st. Michael de la Rupe, TO
whom 1t was dedicated, grew weary
of having the devil interfere with the
proceedings and heaved a great mass
of cliff at his satanic majesty. There
was no further trouble.
A peculiarly of Brent Tor is IKE
fact that it can be seen from all di-
rections-it is a veritable landmark.
Before it toss the restless waves of
the Atlantic ocean and behind It slope
the undulating Devonshire moors.

Beware Of Talking Too Much.

Tact is displayed TO advantage when
people practice the old motto, that ssh
lence is golden" 1t doesn't pay TO re-
tort to every injustice. The fellow
that can "grin and bear is sure TO win
in the long run. Some folks are al
ways talking but never have any fol-
lowing to speak of. At recent pub
lie gathering a man Of decided intelll-
gence commented on the address of
another by saying. THAT man can
speak more words and say less than
any other man / know" It's not words
but ideas that make the world go. The
best advice that young person can
cling to is, Don't talk unless you have
really something TO say" And be-
sides it's pretty good rule that says.
People who always have their mouths
open seldom have their minds fcli."
That may not be strictly true, but lie
worth thinking about-Grit.

Beginning of Life insurance.

Life insurance grew out of marine
insurance, for merchants sending
goods by sea in early times usually
accompanied the ship themselves. and
were liable to capture by pirates. es-
pecially by the Moorish and Turkish
pirates who then infested the Medter-
ranean sea. In order to provide the
necessary ransom for their release. if
captured. it became the practice of
travelling merchants to pay premium
to certain individuals. called under
writer's, who guaranteed the payment
of the ransom in the event of the mer-
chants being caught. The practice
was gradually extended to insuring
the lives, first of mariners and thea
of other persons. the underwriters
agreeing. in return for a certain pre-
MUM, 10 pay fixed amount if the
person insured died within a certain
time. Out of this was evolved the var
ious forms of contracts of life inSur-
ance in use today.

Sex and Muscular Strength.

Two women graduates of Leland
Stanford university, California, have
been investigating the comparative
muscular strength of men and women.
They have reached the. general con-
clusion that any difference that exists
in this matter Is not Cue to sex as
such. but to differences in the use of
the muscles, brought about by the
conventional limitations of activity or
by dress. Thus women's back muscles
are stronger than mems because their
clothes are largely buttoned in the
back. Certain of their arm muscles
are also stronger. owing TO the fact
that they do up their hair, and also
because the heavy coat sleeves of men
limit the freedom of action of these
muscles.
On the other hand, the forearm OF
men is better developed than that of
women. because women wear tight
sleeves and do not customarily lift
heavy weights.

Brain Is InfIexIbIe.

The size of muscle may be in
creased by exercise or even by tenn
porary use. The bony structure of
our limbs is inside and controls their
size only to a certain extent. But in
the case OF the head the bony struc-

tissues like a box. There is absolute
