MANY HOMELESS In FLOOD
Ohio River Expected to Reach
Crest Soon-Towns Without
Food.

Louisville. Dec. 29-The Ohio river
after having reached the highest stage
recorded here in almost decade, to.
day will reach the crest and will be
stationary for several days, according
to the official forecast Of the weather
bureau.
When the muddy waters begin to re.
cede, number Of families that were
driven from their homes in the low
lying sections Of the city will reclaim
their own, but not until after the city
health department has mopped up a
bit, according to announcements.
Although! the river above the falls
reached a stage five feet above the
flood line, comparatively little dam
age has been reported.
Practically all river traffic is sus-
pended because the steamers cannot
60 under bridges, and small towns
along the river that are without rail-
way facilities are reported running
short OF food.
One fatality has been reported, a
girl being drowned Sunday night when
an automobile in which she was riding,

twenty-five feet deep.

EDITOR GARvEY
(By DR.. w. II. Lowry.)

Mr.. Marcus Garvey, president gen.
eral of the Universal Negro Improve.
ment Association, commander in chlef
of the African Legion, editor-in chief
of the Negro World and "Chief Pro-
mulgator Of Personal Bank is near
ing his climax in journalism. In re-
cent publication of the Negro World
Mr.. Garvey has a cut of himself dress
ed in a gaudy uniform that would
make Jacob change the color scheme OF
Joseph's coat.
sevanity of vanities saith the
preacher; ali is vanity
Mr.. Gervey also published speech
he made in the Baltimore, Nd. In
publishing this speech Mr.. Garvey in
serted combination Of forty-one par
enthetical applauses and daughters. We
shall make no comment upon the
speech because the most of our time
was taken up applauding the applaus-
es and laughing the daughters.
We have been neutral on the So
called 'tGarvey movement We real
ize that it is gigantic undertaking,
and since it's success or failure is yet
to be determined we can only wish it
success. However, we feel safe in
saving that Mr. Garvey's recent effort
in journalism is rustic, crude and who'll
ly unethetical.
We would advise that the editor-in-

pay a short visit to a board of COM

.BORAH FLAYS TREATY
Four Power Pact Fought by the
Idaho Senator.
Says It Kills Monroe Doctrine and
Destroys Defensive Power OF
the. u. S.

Washington, Dec. 29.-The four
power treaty for settlement Of Pacific
questions will destroy the Monroe doc
trine, Senator Borah said, in discuss
Ing the agreement which proposes tc
make the United States an ally OF
Japan, Gerat Britain and France.
1T will also destroy the power OF
the United States he declared, tic
protect the West coast Of Mexico and
South America against japanese
colonization such as was attempted
a few years ago at Magdalena Bay
'If Japan undertook to repeat hel
plans for colonizing Magdalena where
the United States harbors her feet
it would be extremely embarrassing fol
the United States to object II we are
in this treaty.
"If we enter into treaty which
makes Japan our ally, how are we
going to be in position to stop her
IL she tries to repeat the performance
of short time ago? The only way we
could stop her would be by the use OF
force and under the treaty we would
be prevented from using force, all we
could do would be to sit down with
Japan, France and England and talR
about it. The moment we decided te
use force to stop these plans from be.
ing carried into execution, Japan
ceases to be our ally, although she
still would have the help of France
and England, who would be bound by
this treaty to be against us"
Discussing the danger to the Monroe
doctrine which would be brought about
by Inclusion of the United States In
the four-power alliance, Senator Bora1
said:
1.-THE Monroe doctrine is nothing but
the doctrine Of self-defense. But the
moment the United States is compelled
to submit to the alliance questions
which heretofore have been settled By
the United States alone under the
Monroe doctrine, that moment the
doctrine Itself is destroyed and be
comes nothing"

Washington, Dec. 29.-Hope for an
agreement to limit submarine tonnage
was declared to have been abandoned
at the meeting Of the arms conference
naval committee.
Washington, Dec. 29.-France's last
word on the question OF limitation OF
submarines, reiteration Of her stand
of last week as announced by her naval
experts, was delivered to the confer
ence naval committee. The report that
there might be further discussion with
q view to modifying Frances demands
was characterized by the French as a
joke.
France Blocks Y. s. "sub" Plan.
The American compromise proposal
for settlement of the question Of sub
marine tonnage on basis Of status
quo for France, Italy and Japan and
reduction Of 10000 tons each for the
United States and Great Britain ap-
peared to have been blocked through
objections by France and Japan when
the full naval cOmmitte Of the confer.
ence on limitation of armament re-
sumed sessions for the first time since
Saturday.
After 10000 Tons.
While the nature of the instructions
from the French government on the
submarine question, received by the
French delegation have not been re-
vealed, it was said in responsible cir
cles that France would formally dis
agree to the American proposal, under
which she would be allotted about
81 500 tons in submarines against the
10000 tons figure suggested by French
naval experts as her minimum require
ment. '~s.. ..s,
The japanese delegates already have
fatty rejected the American proposal,
which would reduce their submarine al.
lotment from $4,000 tons under the
original Limitation plan to $1,000 tons,
and although they are communicating
with Tokyo on the situation, there was
no indication of any intention to re-
cede from their stand for the higher
figure.
May Pass Question Along
Should the American plan be finally
rejected, what the next step might be
in an effort to solye the submarine
problem, upon which apparently hinges
the entire question of limitation OF
auxiliary warship tonnage, has not
been Indicated
With so wide difference Of opinion
revealed in the submarine controversy,
however, there appeared to be an in
creasing disposition among the dele
gates to consider a plan for leaving
the whole question of auxiliary ton
mage to later international confer
ence.
In highest American official circles it
was said that concrete proposal for
future conference might be. laid be-
fore the delegates within a few days.
