The Tomahawk., 1920-10-28
Copy From Nature,

The ram Of the modern man-of-war
is the device of the swordf1sh Of the
Indo-Pacific ocean. The swordfish's
upper jaw has long beak or ram, by
means of which it can pierce not only
fish, but the sides of timber-built
ships. Even the plants have fore,
stalled human inventions. Nearly
everybody. perhaps, has wondered
why the stems of nearly all plants
and the trunks and branches Of trees
are round instead of any other shape.
The existence Of tall plants and trees
depends largely on the wind force. And
tree with square trunk ana
branches would offer so much resist
ance to the wind that it would be con-
tinually having its branches snapped.
It is for the same reason that en-
gineers build tall chimneys and piers
for bridges round in preference to any
other form.

Derry was then given to the cor
poration Of London, which tackled on
the prefix London. Three years later
the Irish society, to which London
derry and much Of the surrounding
country had been given, pledged itself
to enclose Derry within walls, ana
these walls, wide enough for a coach
and four, are excellently preserved
today, perhaps to the inconvenience
Of the inhabitants, but certainly IN
accordance with their sentiments and
wishes. Any one who expressed
desire that they be taken down would
be treated as traitor. Long ago
they grew too small to encompass all
the inhabitants of the hustling port,
but they stand like stiff belt around
the waistline of the hill on which
the city is built. The most fncon-
venient thing about them Is that,
though they are more than a mile IN
circumference, there are only seven
gates leading through them. Because
the walls defended the city in the
siege begun by James II, busy man
must make quite jaunt out OF his
way to find a passageway through
them, but, true to Irish sentiment
he does it without murmur. On one
of the bastions Of the wall an old
gun, affectionately known as Roaring
Meg" points her nose over the city.
Here, too, on the hill in the center
of crowded old graveyard stands
the quaint, squat cathedral with Its
queer pinnacled tower 1t is called
after st. COLUMBIA, although it IS not
on the site of the old abbey built by
the saint fourteen centuries ago.
On a high, inaccessible hill in the
distance, looms the stronghold Of the
lords Of Tyrone. 1t is said that st.
Patrick came to the fort to baptize
Owen, who first set himself up to rule
over the province Of Tyrone, and st.
COLUMBIA visited it before his exile.
Here, too, captive Danes who had
threatened the peace of the city were
dragged in triumph.
Though every trace of the old cas-
tie has been obliterated, the massive
stone wall fourteen feet thick and
eighteen feet high, resembling the han
diwork Of u cyclone, has stood out
grimly against the centuries. A small
iron gate hangs across two-foot door,
way, the only entrance to its huge
amphitheater-like interior, which re-
veals further devices designed for the
protection Of the inmates.

Arnless and LeqIess Austrian Soldiers
Line the Sidewalks Of Vienna In
Pathetic Misery.

Last, but not least, among the sights
of suffering in Vienna are the war
cripples. the saddest and most touch
ing. but liz enc sense the most repel-
,snnt picture which the city offers.
The plain truth is that these Grip
G1es have been abandoned to their
fate. It is true that the present gov
eminent has voted to grant a ridicu-
lousy inadequate pension to these
men; but up to the present it has re-
fused to put the law into effect. In
place Of that the authorities have hit
upon two measures for their relief
making them match vendors for the
state monopoly, and giving them H.
censes to beg upon the street!
This Is the actual fact. While pub
lie begging is prohibited by law in
Vienna, war cripples are provided with
an official police permit allowing them
to appeal to the passerby for charity.
So you see in all the best avenues and
squares of Vienna, particularly in
quarters frequented by foreigners, In
front of the hotels and the entente
missions, blind, armless, legless, and
otherwise mutilated war cripples, still
wearing military uniforms, begging for
aims.
Some cripples alternate with their
begging working as sandwich men. Ac-
cordingly, not a morning passes but

people.
The Industrial history Of Mlnsk,
where the Poles and the bolshevlks
met to discuss peace terms, Is espe'
cially significant in view OF present
conditions in Russia. It was one OF
the centers where ideas long germl'

IN secret, was q major activity OF this
croup in Minsk. Few workingmen De-
longed to it.
In the course Of i've years these
eroups, working in Moscow, st. re
tersburg and Minsk, had accumulated
a number Of followers, few Of whom
agreed. They gave wide publicity to
the doctrines Of Marx, mixed indis'
criminately with every variety Of rad
icalism. native and imported. With
such diversity Of aims little waa
accomplished, and 1t was with tho
hope Of formulating definite pro-
gram that the Union for Struggle and
n committee Of the Jewish bund held
their notable convention at Minsk in
1893. From that meeting arose the
Social Democratic Working Mems
party.
Minsk is built upon the Svislotck
river, nearly 500 miles southwest OF
Moscow by rail, and has a. population
Of 10000, fully half Of whom are
Jews. It was the capital Of the old
Russian government Of Minsk, which

LONDONDERRY: "MAIDEN
CITY OF IRELAND"

Derry, or Londonderry, in Ulster,
known in song and legend as the
maiden City of Ireland" has the
charm of the CHEEKY, busy town and is
truly characterized by the stirring
marching song which these Irish sing
on their days Of celebration:
"Where Foyle his swelling waters
rolls northward to the main,
Here Queen Of Erin's daughters, fair
Derry fixed her reign;
A holy temple crowned her, and CON-
merce graced her street;
A rampant wall was round her. the
river at her feet"
These four lines briefly tell Lon
donderry's story. Along the two-mile
uuays Of the river Irishmen jolly each
other as they load and unload the for
eign, colonial and coasting trade Of
the docking vessels. For the Foyle
Is wide and deep, and large tonnage
ships flying the flags Of France, Aus
tralia, Brazil, the United States, and
India bring their wares to her port.
Busy looms in the city make linen,
and then laughing, twinkly-eyed Irish
girls make the linen into shirts before
it leaves Londonderry. The salmon
fishery on the Foyle is important and
the town has timber mills, grain mills
and shipyards.
But Derry has for the traveller
charm greater than its hustle and up
-and-doing atmosphere-the story Of
past replete with romance, devotion
to principle, and the exhibition of
indomitable spirit. COLUMBIA, the
greatest Of the Irish saints after Pat
rick and Brigid, in $40 looked on the
oak-clad hills and coveted them. Here
he founded his abbey, known as Daire-
Columbkille, or Columba's Oak Grove,
within the shadow of the great fort
on a neighboring hill, the stronghold
Of the lord Of Tyrone, in order that
his sanctuary might have the protec-
ton Of the fort. But in vain did he
reckon his chances against the Danes
and Saxons who, time ana again,
pushed their boats against his shores.
Despite their p1undering and burnings,
the settlement, Of which he had made
the nucleus, grew and maintained Its
independence until 1909.

WILL ALAND ISLANDS BE-
COME A BALTIC FIUME


Caught in the swirl Of the minor
flurries that disturb Europe are the
remote Aland islands, where Swedes
and Firms clashed in a manner sug-
gestive of the dispute between Jugo-
Slavs and the Italians along the Adri
attic, according to newspaper dis
patches.
For more than 200 years the Aland
islands, which are situated like cork
in the wide mouth of the Gulf of
Bothnia, have been sort Of Alsace-
Lorraine question between the Swedes
and the Russians. After having passed
back and forth several times, they
were finally coded to Russia in 1909.
During the reign Of Nicholas I they
were strongly fortified, move most
distasteful to Sweden, because the
islands occupy strong strategic posi-
ton with respect to Stockholm, the
Swedish capital, which is less than
100 miles to the southwest from b.
marsund, the chief fertilization Of the
islands.
These Notifications were short
lived. In 1854, during the Crimean
war, a Franco-British fleet, under Sir
Charles Napier and paraguay DILL
liers, destroyed the works, and after
that time the islands were left un-
fortified, in accordance with an inter-
national agreement.
The Aland group, which is separated
from the Swedish mainland by Aland
bay (Aland Haaf) and from the Finn
ish mainland by Skiftet sound, is
composed Of some 300 islands and
rocky islets, the total area Of which
is not more than $50 square miles.
The largest island, Aland, name sig-
nifying "land of streams" is almost as
large as all the others combined, hav-
ing an area Of PAT square miles, about
twice the size Of Martha's Vineyard.
Cattle raising and fishing are the
chief occupations of the $4,000 people
who live on the islands. Some cereals
(barley and oats) are grown on the
thin soil, and there are few forests
Of birch, spruce and fir.
Finnish troops recently were re-
ported marching through the streets
of Mariehamm. This attractive little
bathing resort is the chief town of
the islands, having a population of
1,4OO. In times Of peace a daily
steamer service is maintained between
this port and Abo, the oldest and
historically the most interesting city
in Finland. The voyage from Abo to
Mariehamm takes about 10 hours.
+ It was in the water adjacent to the
Aland islands that Peter the Greats
navy won its first important victory,
defeating the Swedes in TIT.
Only about 80 Of the 300 islands are
Inhabited, and the f1sherfolk, in the
main, are of Swedish descent.
Sweden's desire to hold the islands
arises in part from the fact that they
control the entrance to the Gulf Of
Bothnia, through which most Of that
kingdoms internal trade is carried on.

CUNNING FOR PROFITEERS
AN ANCIENT PRACTICE

Profteering in foods and high wage
demands by labor are far from pelhg
ultra modern problems.
Ancient Egypt flogged it's profiteers
in the market places and medieval
England passed maximum wage laws
according to communication Dy
Ralph A, Graves to the National Geo.
graphic society, which says:
"Following the devastation OF the
Black Death in England In 134S-l549'
cultivation of the fields was utterly
impossible and there were not even
enough able bodied laborers to gather
the crops which had matured. Cattle
roamed through the corn unmolested
and the harvest rotted where it stood.
"Out of the situation which resulted
from the impoverishment Of the labor
resources Of the kingdom grew the
first great clash in England between
capital and labor The peasants be-
came masters Of the situation. In some
instances they demanded double wages,
and whereas formerly landowners had
paid one-twelfth Of every quarter OF
wheat as the harvesting wage they
were now forced to pay one-eight.
"Parliament hurriedly passed dras-
tic laws in an effort to meet the new
condition. Statutes provided that
every man or woman, bond or free,
able in body and within the age of
threescore years, not having his own
whereof he may live, nor land or his
own about which he may occupy him
self, and not serving any other, shall
be bound to serve the employer who
shall require him to do so, provided
that the lords of any bondsman or
land-servant shall be preferred before
others for his service; that such serv-
ants shall take only the wages which
were customarily given in 134T (the
year prior to the first appearance OF
the plague).
"The first ordinance In English MIS-
tory. designed to curb the greed OF
the 'middleman, was passed nearly
century earlier Tin 1859 when there
was a bountiful harvest, but destruc.
tive rains caused the heavy crops to
rot in the fields.
"But England did not originate food
control measures. A low Nile In 967

ing year, which swept away 6OO,OOO
