4 PARABLE AND A SUGGESTION
That May Tend to Solve Some OF tho
Worlds Present Difficulties.

Chicago Herald and Examiner.
Put one hundred men on an island
where fish Is a staple article of sus-
tenance. twenty-five OF the men
catch fish; twenty-five others clean
the fish; twenty-five cook the fish.
twenty-five hunt fruit and vegeta-
bles. The entire company eat what
thus is gathered and prepared.
so long as everybody works there
is plenty. All hands are happy.
Ten Of the allotted fish -catchers
stop catching fish; ten more dry and
hide part OF the fish they catch. Five
continue to catch fish, but work only
part OF day at it.
Fewer fish 90 into the community
kitchen.
But the same number of men in
sist upon having the same amount of
nSh TO eat as they had before. The
lfty men who formerly cleaned and
cooked the fish have less to do owing
10 the under-supply Of fish. But they
continue to demand food,
fradually greater burdens are laid
upon the fruit and vegetable hunt
erS. These insist upon larger share
OF fish in return for their efforts in
gathering fruit and vegetables. 1t is
denied them, and soon twenty Of the
twenty-five quit gathering fruit and
vegetables.
But the entire one hundred men
continue to insist upon their right
to eat. The daily food supply grad
ually shrinks. The man with two
fish demands three bananas in ex-
change for one Of them. The man
with two bananas refuses to part
with one for fewer than three fish.
Finally the ten men remaining at
work quit in disgust. Everybody con
tinues to eat. The hidden fish are
brought to light and consumed. Then
comes day when there is no food
Of any kind. Everybody on the island
blames everybody else.
What would seem to be the solu-
ton?
Exactly!

ITALY IGNORES :
WARLIKE STAND
OF D'ANNUNZEO
Decides to Put RipallO Treaty
Into Effect as Soon as
Ratified.
ASK FIUME MAYORS AID

MILAN. Dec 9.-Italy has decided to
put the Rarallo treaty in effect as soon
IS it Is ratified in the Italian Senate
despite the warlike opposition of
Gabrielle d'Annunzio. at Ffume. Premier
Giolitti announced, according to advices
from Rome today.
This declaration by the premier was
made TO the parliamentary committee
which has returned to Rome from Fiume,
Waere it went to adjust the differences
between d'Annunzio and the government.
The RapalIO treaty which was negoti-
ted between Italy and Jugo Slavia gives
he islands of Arbe and Yegiia, which
dAnnunzi0 had occupied, to Jugo-SlaYia.
Also 1t makes Fiume an independent
state, instead Of annexing it to Italy as
d'Annunzio desired.
Cardinal Gasparri, the papal secretary
Of state, has sent 4 letter to the mayor
of Fiume exhorting him to act with mod
grafton. The letter glso asked the mayor
70 convince d'Annunzio to accept the
fapallo treaty. thus showing homage
to Italy and opening the way to peace.
The mayor rep led that it is the ire
vocable aim OF Fiume to be annexed to
Italy.
According to information from Rome
the Nationalists in the senate began a
movement to oppose ratification Of the
RapalIO treaty, but 1t seems to have
little chance Of success for Premier Clio
litti apparently has full control of the
situation
