On the other hand it is being argued
here that the side stepping of the

they were designated, which expressed

President Morgan Of the Merchants

"If the union drivers do not return

Senator Asked to Show Exactly
Where He Stands on League

The following statement was made
to-day by Herbert Hoover:
Senator johnson is quoted as stating
that he has never expressed opposition
to any league to prevent war and re-
duce armament. This indication of a
change Of heart is matter of great
satisfaction. He states that ne does not
want an English league. None Of us do.
But does the Senator mean that
the covenant with the Lodge reserva-
tions is an English league? This Is the
covenant apd these are the reservations
which have supported Sincv they were

ate last November. WIN the Senator

NUMBER OF STRIKES IN EUROPE
is INCREASING.

Nobody can foretell the future, hut
the number OF strikes and Industrial
disturbances is increasing. In one
case Americans who went from Paris
TO seaport town TO get their supply
for Americans found a dock strike
and, inasmuch as the sailing OF the
vessel was postponed. they pleaded
with the steamship officials ta let
them board the ship. There was ABB
solutely no accommodation in the
hotels Of the little town.
New Workers are said TO have
walked the streets all night In a vain
effort to find lodging. The usual red
tape prevented relief from Paris.
Somebody with discretion enough to
permit the Americans 70 live on
board the ship while II waited for
the strike to end would have saved
the prospective passengers-'who had
already paid for their passage-no
end or trouble.
Industrial conditions In England are
the most battling OF all. Some re-
ports indicate that England is APP

NO PASSPORTS ARE ISSUED TO
CENTRAL EUROPE.

The Department Of State is not
Issuing passports to any OF the Cen
trail European countries but at the
same time there Is no restriction
upon Americans going into Germany
when once they are in France or Eng
land or Belgium.
Perhaps the most embarrassing
phase OF the whole situation is the
way the Europeans are Increasing
their prices and discriminating
against Anne ricans. This Is most
noticeable in Germany where the
suppostion that all Americans are
wealthy ds the basis for higher prices
for meals, or rooms, or goods wanted
by the American traveller than the
Englishman or Frenchman. 1t is not
an uncommon occurrence to find an
American paying hfty marks for
I something which the Englishman is
asked forty-eight marks for and the
FTenchman forty and possibly every
body else only thirty.
Much OF the same discrimination
prevails In England and In France.
though in both countries the Govern
ments are doing their utmost 20 keen
1t under control. They realize that
American tourists will notS long sub
init to such discrimination, and Eu-
rope is too anxious to have Americans
come abroad to spend their money
60 carry the game too far.
On the other hand, accommodation
are difficult to get and tine law OF
supply and demand Is 20 some extern
responsible for the high rates beinl
charged. Then, too. there is a com.
mon impression that every American
who comes abroad gets a lot OF none,

UNSAFE,
IS Warning GIVEN
TO AMERICANS
Advised Against Going Over
on Account of the Spread of
Disease.
By DdUid Laurence.
Especial Correspondent Of The Even
ina Worldly

WASHINGTON. May Copy
right. 1920. - Disquletng reports
have reached the United states Gov
ernment concerning conditions in
Europe that should discourage
American citizens from going TO the
Continent.
These reports have not been made
public because the Government here
has already been pressed from every
side 70 lift the restrictions on pass
ports and there is no reason why tho
American Government should court
the ddspleasure OF those European
countries which are eager TO have
American tourists come abroad TO
spend their money.
The writer has obtained a survey
Of conditions in Europe as revealed in
official reports. and while France and
England are much better Off than
other countries, nevertheless trans
portation facilities everywhere are
crowded to the limit and American
tourists are finding It uncomfortable
to move around.
fortunately France and England
are not in as bade shape as Eastern
and Southern Poland and parts Of
Germany. Typhoid fever and spotted
fever have come over the boarders of
Soviet Russia into Poland and while
the Poles are striving hard 20 care
for the patients, there are difficulties
galore In handling the situation. Food
in Germany is hardly Of the best and
anyone Who needs care and nourish-
ment ought not to risk his or her
health in the central empires.

Returning to America in 1911,
they were just in time to join the
Bull Moose movement and follow
Theodore Roosevelt into the Progress
siVe party. Mrs. Mccormick smiles
when she recalls the exciting days
of that strenuous campaign.
"Many Of the Old Guard who had
known my father came to reproach
me, more in sorrow than in anger,
for leaving the Republican party.
What would your father think
if he knew what you are doing"
they would ask.
My father would have been one

Mccormick became interested in suf-
frage for women. She was an active
worker in the Woman's City Club of
Chicago, which she started through
the efforts Of Mr.. Mccormick during
the period when he was editor of
"The Chicago Tribune" The club
tried to get legislation passed better
ing the conditions of women. The
Legislature was polite but unre-
sponsive.
"The men in politics were courte-
ous," said Mrs. Mccormick, "and
seemed to agree with the reforms we
wished inaugurated, but when it
came to getting bill passed there
was always something else that
showed our bills aside, something
that involved a group of voters.
II saw then, and the other men,
bers of the club saw, that nothing
could be done to improve conditions
for women unless the legislation was
backed by voters.
ut was then that | became an ac-
tive sufragist. The vote would
have to be won before the women
could get the legislation for which
they asked"
In 1911 Mrs. Mccormick went
abroad with her husband and lived
for time in France and Great

An Aladdin's Lamp of Science

sea without a living soul aboard.
Soon it will be able to shatter the
mightiest battleship afloat. 1t has
given to man mentally that added
power which modern transportation
has given to him physically.
What is this miracle lamp of
science that has produced such Won
ders?" you will ask.
The Energy of the Atoms
1t is known under the general
term Of Vacuum Tube" Variations
of it are variously named, such as
Audion, Pliotron, Dynatron, Plio>
dynatron, etc. It performs it's Won
ders through the mysterious and un-
known activity of those minute par
ticles that surround the atom of
matter-in other words, through
the activity Of the myriad infini-
tesimal bodies that move around the
smallest thing the mind Of man has
been able to conceive.
So far as we can tell, man in his
laundering way may have unlocked
the storehouse of energy that Sir
Oliver Lodge assures us lies within
the atom-energy sufficient in one
small atom to lift the largest steam
ship in the world to the top Of the
highest mountain. 1t is known that
in this wonderful lamp electrons are
torn away from their parent atom
while the lamp is at work. So!
Who knows?
The lamp itself is, like most mod
ern wonders, the gradual develop
ment of the genius of many men.
Each year sees it improved upon.
In appearance there is nothing mys-
terious about it, although in some
of it's latest forms it has assumed
an imposing character.
At the first glance it looks very
similar to the ordinary electric bulb
that Eliminates a million homes
throughout the country, but there is

GN CIENCE has produced an Alad-
y din's lamp
The genii that it centuries
up are as giants compared to
the pygmies who answered the call
of The bewildered Aladdin.
The modern lamp of science has
no restrictions. It's possibilities arr
only just beginning to assert them
selves. Even now scientists are
awakening to the fact that this Won
der of the twentieth century may be
actually translating to US the
thoughts that are passing through
the minds Of those inhabitants who
supervise the canals on Mars, or
mayhap from those on the planet
Mercury. The ultimate achievements
of this lamp conjured up by the
genius of science surpass the
strangest of dreams or the widest
imagination. Apparently there is no
limit to its possibilities.
A Few of Its Marvels
While no man can define it's abso-
lutte powers, the things which this
lamp already does are almost un-
believable. It steers an airplane or
a ship safely to it's destination
through the densest fog. 1t bears
upon the wings Of incompatible
speed the thoughts of man to the
uttermost reaches of the earth. 1t
reproduces his voice with the great
est ease and precision in every Ian
guage and jargon under the sun.
1t transforms a whisper, so deli
cate that no human ear can hear,
into a roar louder than the tum-
bling cataracts of Niagara. 1t
throws a mans voice clear across
the troubled surface of the Atlantic,
above the thunderous storms, spurn-
ing all the impediments that the
jealous elements can array against
it.
1t acts as the brains Of ship at
