Esperanto Victorious.

Esperanto a world language is not studied
by shippers of the fishing schooners OF New Eng
land So far their language departs from classic
English it hasa sectional and not an international
cast. More natural and less artificial folk America
does not breed, and how and why the finest racer
they could send to Nova Scotia to compete with
the best boat of the PROVINCES fishing feet got the
name Esperanto" it would be interesting to know
However, the name is not the thing" but the
speed of the is; and her victory in the first
of the three trials cheers the national heart The
art of building fast craft still abides in the land
that once owned the finest fleets of clippers that
sailed the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans Men
who won the admiration of Kipling when he studied
them in Gloucester still practice winning nautical
technique
AS the contests between the two groups of fish
ermen promise to be annual events the country in
time will to have intense interest in their
races. 1t is only occasionally that Sir Thomas
Upton challenges national prinacy in yacht
racing But these deep-sea mariners are to dsport
themselves each year for the benefit of the Ameri-
can-Canadian publics. What they lack in social
prestige they make up in vire resourcefulness
The craft they to not SHOW" boats but
everyday income makers for their owners shippers
and crews. All this brings them nearer the man
in the street; and there are more people of this
kind in the country than there those who can
stand the costs OF arranging the international yacht
races.

FRENCH SUGAR CROP
SHOWS BIG INCREASE

Sugar production in France dur
ing the season 1880 was 152,S32
metric tons as compared with lO7,-
SAL metric tons during 1888. ac-
cording to figures from the Depart
ment of Commerce supplied by the
French ministry of agriculture.
Two hundred and two thousand
two hundred and thirty acres have
been sown with sugar beets for the
season 1920-21. as compared with
I63,496 acres in 1920.
Chemists in charge of the French
laboratories state that the sugar
production for the season l92O-2l
should exceed 250,000 tons. Their
figures are based upon analysis of
sugar beetS from the new crop. The
Increase in sugar production is es-
timated to be worth 40O,00O,0OO
francs, which will remain in France
instead of going abroad to foreign
sugar producers. while the by-prod-
uct will be valuable as cattle feed,
etc.

SAYS EFFORTS TO STOP WAR
FUTILE.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
In every periodical that meets my
gaze there looms in lurid flare and
fame the silly" chickering's on that
not very famous document entitled
a pact" to stop all wars.
Far be j: from me to pose as
prophet. seer or revelator, but right
here ! arise to inform mankind that
God alone can stop all wars. and
He has not as yet decided to do so.
Mortal man. therefore. would do we'll
to put aside his efforts to establish
a lasting peace.
4 grave mistake was made in
that when hostiIities ceased the
commanding generals did not con-
clude a peace commensurate with
the confronting conditions. With
this. loss of years of time, the loss
of millions of money. and lives in
wretched condition, could have been
averted. We are today as far. il
not farther. from peace than We
were at the signing of the armistICC.
Now. after all this waste, a peace
must yet be made, and different
peace from the one that has so
long hung fire. What gets my nan
ME is the two supposedly ablest
men of this enlightened-or should
l say benighted-natiOn seeking the
highest gift at the hands of its
people. propose ratification or
elimination of that much abused and
partially espoused document. Strange
bed-fellows bunk with politicians.
Wars and rumors of wars will
continue to the end of this prOba-
ton. and the end, by the way. is
fast approaching and will terminate
in battle-the battle of Armaged-
don. What kind of a pact" gen
tIemen. will you submit to prevent
that affair.
Get busy, gentlemen, and relegatc
that obnoxious league of nations
to the scrap hcap at Gehenna, where
1t must eventually land. and you
with it. unless you eliminate from
your think dome this political non
sense and useless hiCkering. and
turn your attention more earnestly
and fervently to the Word of the
Living God. Mark We!

OIL TRANSPORTATION
TO AUSTRIA LARGE.

Transport of American mineral
oil products via Hamburg into
Austria during recent months has
succeeded beyond all expectations.
according to advices received by the
Department of Commerce. By means
of the American imports and, refia-
ing of lighting petroleum from
Galician crude oil, stored during the
summer, demand for lighting oil is
covered during the next few months.
Gasoline shortage throughout the
world is expected to cause a con-
siderable shortage in Austria. De-
mand for gas oil for Diesel motors
is believed to be covered until the
end of the year. Need for lubricat-
ing oil for railways and industry
is covered, and the compulsory ad-
ministration has been much les
seEed.

cabinetmaker, and he had just pass

1t had been his nightly custom

" DO YOU KNOW

THE BOOK OF JUDGES.

l. And the children OF Israel
did evil again in the sight OF the
Lord: and the Lord strengthened.
EglOn the king Of Moab against
Israel because they had done evil
in the sight of the Lord.
I3 And he gathered unto him.
the children OF Ammon and Amalek,
and went and smote Israel. and
possessed the city OF palm trees.
IL So the children of Israel
served Eglon the king Of Moab
eighteen years.
Is But when the children Of
Israel cried unto the Lord. the Lord
rgised them up a deliverer. Ehud
the son of Gera, a Benjsmite, a
man lefthauded: and by him the
children of Israel sent a present
unto Eglon the king Of Moab. &.
! &c But Ehud made him a dagger
which had two edges, OF a cubit
length; and he did gird it under his
raiment upon his right thigh.
/ u And he brought the prcscn;
unto EElon king OF Moab: and Eg-
Ion was a very fat man.
| IS And when he had made an
end TO offer the present, he sent
away the people that bare the pres
. ont.
10 But he himself turned again
from the quarries that were by
Gilgal. and said, / have a secret err
( rand unto thee, o king: who said.
Keep silence. And all that stood
by him went out from him.
/ 90 And Ehud came unto him;
and he was sitting in a summer
parlour. which he had for himself Z
alone: and Ehud said. have a mes
sage from God unto thee. And he
arose out of his seat.
81 And Ehud put forth his left
hand. and took the dagger from
his right thigh, and thrust it into
his belly:
% And the haft also went in
after the blade; and the fat closed
upon the blade. so that he could
not draw the dagger out Of his
belly; and the dirt came out.
/ % Then Ehud went forth
through the porch, and shut the
doors Of the parlour upon him, and
locked them.
% When he was gone out, his
servants came; and when they saw
that, behold. the doors OF the par
lour were locked, they said, Surely
he covereth his feet in his summer
chamber.
25 And they tarried till they
were ashamed: and. behold. he
opc ned not the doors Of the par
lour: therefore they took a key
and opened them: and, behold, their
lord was fallen down dead on the
earth.
IS And Ehud escaped while they
! tarried, and passed beyond the
quarries, and escaped unto Seirsth
81 And it came to pass, when
he was come, that he blew a trump
ct In the mountGin OF Ephrsim. and
the children OF Israel went down
with him from the mount, and he
before them.
IS And he said unto them. Fol-
low after me: for the Lord hath de-
Iivered your enemies the Moabites
into your hand. And they wen,
down after him, and took the fords
Of Jordan toward Moab, and suf-
fered not man TO pass over.
20 And they slew Of Moab at that
time about ten thousand men, al

EXPECT FULL TEXT
OF TURKISH TREATY
WITHIN THREE DAYS

CONSTANTINOPLE, May 81
The full text of the Turkish treaty
is expected to reach Constantinople
within two or three days. In the
meantime the Turkish papers are
making clear their view that no gov
eminent dare sign the treaty with
out notifications.
Damad Ferid Pasha, grand viZier,
is deeply engaged in drafting repre-
sensations asking that the provisions
relating To Thrace and Smyrna be
altered as well as the capitulation
provisions. IL is generally believed
here that failure of the Turks to
sign Would result in a movement of
Greek forces from Smyrna toward
the interior of Anatolia.
The nationalist leaders at Angors
have repeatedly declared that should
the Greeks move eastward from
Smyrna they could not guarantee
protection TO Christians anywhere in
Anatoha. There is great uneasiness
in Constantinoule regarding the pos
sible fate J - Armenians, Greeks,
Europeans and even Americans If
the Greeks take such action.
Because Of the long delay I'm get
ting the treaty to Constantinople the
opinion prevails here that the con-
ference viii grant an extension of
30 days for further consideration.

4S-KNOT WARSHP

naval engineer named Nader has
Invented a new type OF boat which.

warfare. lie asserts that the power
controlling this craft need fear no
other navy, however strong.
The principal features OF this
vessel are its speed, its torredo ca
pacity and its practical invisibility.
The motive power is crude oil. and
the boat has a cruising radMs Of
h. 500 miles. with a c-uising speed
OF 30 knots, while aUiliory engines
win enable her TO develop one Of AS
BznOts-
She carries 10 torpedoes. which
are fred by the steersman, who
drives the vessel the same as one
drives a rnofor-car. At the moment
sthe torpedo a. delivered the steers
imam swings the vessel round. touch
hng a lever. which enables the boat
40 dart away like an arrow A fur
ilher advantage is the extremely
lshaliow drauRht, which will allow
her TO sail over ruincfields with per-
ifect ease and safety.
For coastal voyages only two men

accommodation can be arranged for

lCient OF his vessels 10 guard ports

UNCLESAMUEL TO BREAK UP
 FREIGHT JAM

WASHINGTON, May IT (by Associ- ated Press).-There are indications that the government will act within forty-eight hours in an attemept to break the nationwide freight jam.
 Sweeping orders are expected from the interstate commerce commission giving priority to the shipment of food, fuel and perishabIes, and barring tenn porarily from transportation all dead freight, so that the necessaries of life can be rushed to the communities where shortages exist.
 The railroads, swamped with busi- ness, have turned hopefully to the in- terstate commerce commission for the restoration of the equipment pooling and priority system of handling essen tials.
 Should the commission find that an emergency justifes it, orders will be issued for taking over of virtually com plete control of freight.

and L. V. Ray of Seward.
 The libel suit grew out of charges made against Mr. HazeIet in connec. tion with the Keystone canyon affair, which occurred twelve years ago. These publications were made for the evident purpose of defeating Mr. Haze let as candidate for delegate to the Republican national convention, but fortunately the maliciousIy false state ments proved a boomerang, and as a result MT. Hazelet was given splen- did majority at the polls. On the other hand, Heron, who aspired to be the Republican national committeeman, was overwhelmingly defeated, and J. c. Mcbride was elected by plurality of nearly a thousand.
 Heron not only admitted his guilt in publishing the libel, but was also forced to make a most abject apology, which is complete vindication for our tOwnsman, and is as follows:
