were supreme and more or less ~
tryannical; and so to stand ~
alone and even aloof, as Wash
ington counseled, was to be prudent.
No alliance was possible save with
that which they had just renounced
-kingcraft.
But "the old order changeth, Civ
ing place to new" Today, in 1920,
the proper social desire of the indi-
vidual is to Give in house by the
side of the road and be friend to
man." And similarly, to live in the
crossroads of the nations and show
vital interest in all that pertains to
humanity is the proper attitude for
the nation. The setting for the next
act on the world stage must be big
enough for interdependence and in
ternationalism. Interdependence is
life and opportunity for both. "We
must hang together or we will hang
separately"
BY maintaining independence and
aloofness the fathers hoped to sue
coed; isolation spelled safety, and so
they trusted that deep, wide moat at
their front door, the Atlantic ocean,
would keep their foes at distance of
5000 miles while they should gain
numbers and wealth and experience
in governing themselves. They minted
coins bearing the inscription, LET Me
Alone" and Don't Step on Me-"
the latter beneath the figure of
coiled rattlesnake, and cutting them
selves off from world politics and
world interests they became self
contained, self-suficient people, en-
joying free assembly, free speech, free
press and free religion, but making
Americanism dangerously near big
prcvincialism. We helped no other
people to gain our glorious liberty.
All was we'll if we were let alone by
the political and warning world.
But a new world order has come
in. The western hemisphere is all
free. China has astonished the world
by electing a president. "The bear
that walks like man" becomes hu-
man for a fortnight and is free-un-
til his liberty, mistaken for license,
enslaved him to the bolsheviki.
France and Portugal are free;
Great Britain, our ancient oppressor,
is free and is our friend. The Brit
ish empire is free a galaxy of great
self-governing peoples-Canada, Aus
tarlia, New Zealand, South Africa
all free, even though fgurehead king
is its nominal head; but Lloyd
George, democrat, not George V
autocrat, is the real ruler of the Bri-
tish empire!
Free peoples do not menace the
tranquility of the world they are not
bent on conquest; they seek not to
impose their will on their neighbors,
even though the neighbor be weak
and small. They covet nothing
which is their neighbours. They
stand for peace on earth and good
will among men. The considerations
alike of safety and ethics demand the
observations of the golden rule among
nations. On July 4, 1916, the old Ii
berty Bell rang out in order to "pro-
claim liberty throughout all the land,
unto all the inhabitants thereof" Sup
pose that on another July 4 it were
permitted to raise its cracked voice to
proclaim liberty to all the world !-Ex

y There is falacy about the
$ Fourth of July that Mr.. G. K.
ChestertOn aims tO hanish from

~ fOurtn OF July tnat N1r. u. n.
Chesterton aims to Danish from
the minds of his countrymen. And
that is that England was our teacher
in the matter of democracy. Mr..
Churchill in his Fourth of July
speech seems to have said that the
Declaration of independence harks
back to Magma Carta, and that
Americans wrote the Declaration of
independence to express their attach
ment to the British Constitution.
To this Mr.. Chesterton retorts that
English politicians repeat the word
Democracy when they might just as
we'll say Deuteronomy or Demon
ology. The Democracy of Burke
and Hampden, of English Wings and
Magma Carta barons, may have found
some echo in Washington; but the
brand displayed by Jefferson is
founded on the Contrat Social. Mr..
Chesterton, writing in his own paper,
The Ne1v Witness (London), is not
tender on this particular mental phase
of English politicians, asking,
"But what do our politicians know
about the Contrat' Social? What do
they know, for that matter, about
the Declaration of independence?
The words, even if they have read
them, probably convey about as much
to the politicians who rule England
as they would to the politicians who
lost America. They would have been
almost as likely to inspire King
George as Mr.. George; and would
have been rather clearer to Lord
North than to Lord Northcliffe.
"Now all this is very unfortunate;
because it spoils the real good in an
alliance between two great nations.
The true advantage would lie in
their learning from each others diff
ferences; not in their protesting to be
precisely the same. This method
simply amounts to our telling the
American he is very fine fellow be-
cause he is really an Englishman.
His institutions are only good because
they are our institutions; and our in
stitutions, therefore, have not much
to learn from his. This is exactly as
if an American only admired Lincoln
Cathedral because, if it were little
taller, it might do for a sky-scraper
in New York. He would hardly
learn much about Gothic architec-
ture; and we shall not learn much
about Jefersonian democracy. The
whole plain point of Jefferson was
that he did exactly what Burke,
equally plainly, refused to do. He
went back to first principles, and
founded his politics on the nature of
man and, for that matter, on the ma
ture of God. The latter point is far
too little noted in connection with
the republican theorists of the eigh-
teenth century. The existence of
God was as necessary to Robespierre
as his non-existencc was necessary to
Frederick the Great. Now this alb
stract idealism may have been exces-
sive in America as in France. But it
most certainly was never excessive
in England; and it most certainly did
not come from England. Those of
us who believe it was, on the whole,
true will naturally desire it to come
to England; where there has never

CIaCy as a dcad sign
for two different
things, we create mere
cross-puropses. The
Englishman and the
American are quite
as much at cross-pur-
poses as if they were
both talking about
Lincoln and the
Englishman meant the
great President. By
the time that one of
them was trying to

ALL WAR NOT

seRastopol, Dec. s-The humors of wal share places with the casualty lists and military movements in the news.
 when General Bogaevsky was exc cutting the retreat of WrangePs troops in the Taknak region he found his train surrounded by the rapidly ad- vancing Bolsheviki. As in motion pie lures, he jumped from his car window into an automobile and there follow ed a flight toward the river with the Reds in pursuit.

LONDON STILL
 FAVORS TRAVEL =BYSURFACECAR

New York, Dec. 3-More than half New York city's "six million" travel on subways and elevated lines, but Chicago still sticks largely to surface cars while London passengers divide their patronage almost equally be- tween buses ,trolleys and rapid trans it system.
 Figures repeating these statistics of travel in three of the worlds largest cities were presented by experts at a gathering here of transportation au- thorities who are meeting monthly tc discuss New York'S great transporta- tion problems.
 It was shown that 6,750,00 persons live in the metropolitan district with in a twenty mile radius of Fifth ave- nue at Thirty-fourth street
 About 2,300.000 of them live on Manhattan Island and another g. ., 100000 flock into lower Manhattan every week day. F'ifty-four per cent. of these ride subways and ele- -yated lines, 35 per cent. patronize surface cars. ferries haul per cent, communication steam trains 1 per cent. and per cent. travel in buses. In Chicago surface cars carry 73 per cent. of the citys passenger traf- fife, rapid transit lines get 21 per cent. and the other 6 per cent. travel in suburban steam trains. In London the ratios are 33 per cent. in busses.

lightful not only by the native cour- tesy and charm of a people, but by generous warmth of welcome which is delightful to experience. E
 Irish women are delightfully."- un- affected and frank. And these quail ties in combination with their sense of humor, make them the most agreeable social companions. They are earnest and intense about every thing that interests them, such as music, painting, drama and sport.
 Dublin does not go to it's national theatre only to be amused. It goes to be educated. Watch the audience there any night and you will see the earnestness of their attention, their desire for enlightenment.
 Sport appeals to the race in an equally intense manner
 Politics, religion and party feeling are swept aside on the race course, and I have seen government officials and the military rubbing should CTS over the paddock rails with leaders of the Sim Fein government.

LADY GREENWOOD
 PRAISES IRISH

London, Dec. 3-WhiIe her hus- band, who went to Ireland as some thing of a pacifist, is being attacked today as a martinet, and is himself saying some sharp things frequently about the Irish, Lady Greenwood gives striking praise to the people of the Emerald Isle.
 As wife of the first Secretary for Ireland, and before she knew that country as it's first lady" Lady Greenwood had wide opportunity to become acquainted with it's people.
 Behind Ireland the tragic, apart from the agony of murder and anx- iety that is so apparent, there is another country, a most delightfu and beautiful land, in which live most charming people" she says.
 "The social and moral character tstics. of all but a few of it's people are as firm and as strong as ever, though seen today through the rf1ists of strife and bloodshed.

JOHNSTOWN "COPS' ADOPT SLOGAN OF
 WORK OR STARVE

Johnstodn, Pa., Feb .3-sWork or fght''-war slogan.
 Work or starve'-slogan of Johns town police department.
 From a report submitted to city council for expenditures in feeding the prisoners in the city prison it is apparent that no turkey, chicken or. other highbrow food is served the prisoners.
 Take heed and don't come to Johnstown for a 'fop'' and a free "feed.'' Nothing doing.
 William W. Campbell, superinten- dent Accounts and finance, submit. ted report showing that 1928 meals had been served during the past month at an expenditure of $109.06. This means that a meal is served for a fraction less than six cents.
 Breakfast consists of bread, mo- lasses and coffee. ftLuncheon'' con- sists of same as breakfast. Dinner consists of more bread, more mo- lasses and more coffee. The meals ar eserved in three courses-bread, then molasses, then coffee-no cigar cites or cigars.
 It can be easily seen that the way Of tn epresent-day hobo or "vag'' is not the life it used to be. But still it might be worse. Those who stop to the city prison moret than one day and who are required to work are given better meals. Transients dc not gain any consideration at all in the way of these meals de luxe and the 'smess sarg'' refuses to take any bribeS.

CHICAGO LIKES
 PENNY LUNCH"

Chicago, Dec. 3-Judging by their patronage, the Sc and Sc meals put up by the Chicago board of education are making an enormous success.
 The city's penny lunch business runs from forty to fifty thousand GUS toners a day. Sales, measured in pennies and niclSles, amount daily be- tween $4,ooO and $5,ooo.
 'fwe have to chase the children away" remarked Dr. Frank G. Bru- ner, director of special schools under the board of education, who has charge of this work. "Often we have to stand at the door and protect the 1unchrooms so they won't be over run"
 pr. Bruner said that penny lunches had been established in 57 of the city's elementary schools. Their object, he observed, is to provide sub stantialy food at the least cost for children coming, from houses where there is real necessity. Lunchrooms therefore have been opened in dis tricts where, as a general thing, the people are not as well to do.
 s'For five cents'' Dr. Bruner said f'the menu runs something like this:
 Soup
 Bread
 Milk or cocoa
 Fruit or pudding.
 s"The bill of fare at Sc drops the milk. And then a youngster can spend only a penny if he wants to- buying any one of these articles for it. Or if he is ot blessed with wealth and yet has more than penny, he can for two cents urchase a meat ball, beans, spaghetti, or rice.
 'tThe board of education is spend ing s150,0o0 year to provide these meals,'' added Dr. Bruner. "The board donates. all service and equip, cooks, light, gas,-the entire main

Claims Germany
 No Danger To
 Peace Just Now

Paris, Dec 3-tGermany today does not endanger peace" writes Jean Herbetts, foreign editor of Le Temps, in an article devoted to both the military and economic conditions across the Rhine. M. Herbette has been travelling through Germany for some time, gathering material. s~eaking for the Allies" he con tlnues, affirm that Germany is ma terially' incapable of commencing a great war within a 'goodly number of years.''
 Disarmament, so far as artillery is concerned, he says, is proceeding sat- isfactorily. The number of can- non delivered is in the neighborhood of 2S,0O0 and about six-sevenths now hand Germany is far from having surrendered enough rifles (hardly D. O0O,00E and machine-guns.' Dis arming of the civil population, now going on, is expected to yield better results.
 Dismantling of the German navy by the British, also i sin progress, ''and is being carried on with excep- tionable vigor."
 "In addition to all this,'' comments military has fallen unbelievably low beyond the Rhine.' Organizations of former officers, he says, are being formed constantly and Germans, if
 
 lead them, but, except in Bavaria and possibly East Prussia, these associa- tions are isolated and growing rus ty.''
 To illustrate how the military spir- it persists, he tells of a young lieu tenant he knows who puts on his uni form and wears all his decorations at breakfast-but who does not appear in uniform in public.
 "The masses of workers he adds, suffered too greatly during the war, either at the front or by the priva- tions behind the lines, not to detesl the military regime, which, in return for all their sacrifices, brought only Ia disaster without parallel. One can say without exaggeration, that the population of the industrial regio>.s is profoundly anti-militarist. Germany has, then, neither the material nor the morale required for a vast offensive. She could only un- dertake upon occasion small military operations upon her eastern and southeastern frontiers. But her western neighbors would stop her quickly and she knows it. ''In the last analysis, the peace of Europe depends only upon the AZ | lies.'' W

tenance cost. What the children pay goes into the food. We buy at wholesale and the receipts cover the purchase of the food"
 In addition to the penny lunches, the board of education supplies a bite to eat at the morning recess at 10:30 in all elementary schools. This sells for penny and consists of a sandwich with filling of jelly, jam, syrup, peanut butter or oleo, or else a dish of porridge.
 Then there are 30 or so high schools. These have their cafeterias. They are run on a different principle, the object being to provide food for students coming from distance. Dr. Bruner said that in all cases they were self sustaining. In some the cafeterias are operated on a private concession, in others by the board of education.

27 per cent. in surface cars and 40 per cent. in rapid transit trains.
 Manhattan Islands population av- erages 163 persons per acre. and Brooklyn has 46, while the average for the 572 square miles of habita- blc territory embraced in the metro politan district is 21 persons per acre. This is compared with 16 per acre in Londan, 20 in corporate Chicago, 20 for Detroit and 23 for Cleveland.
 It was predicted by one of the en- Eineers that the five boroughs of New York will grow to 9,OO0,0OO in popu- lation by 1945 and by that time the city would need 4S subway and ele- vated tracks running north and south on Manhattan Island. |

HAS FEW RELATIVES

Corn has but few relatives in the plant world. Every one knows the value and use of corn as a farm feed, but few appreciate it's value as a human food in this country. In other countries it is popu lar human food. It is a strictly American plant, but sailors carried it broadcast, and fields of it now cover the other continents.
