FOREIGN MISSIONS INEVITABLY
VISIT MOUNT VERNON.
Every foreign mission which visits
Washington Is inevitably led to
Mount Vernon to deposit a wreath
upon the grave of Washington. 1t
remained. however. for the vene-
xuelan Special Mission to make the
trip by aeroplane-something new
under the sun-and to strew flowers
from the clouds upon the tomb of
the Father OF His Country. The
mission made this spectacular trip
as the guest OF Walter s. Penfield
In a great flying cruiser which had
until recently been plying between
Cuba and Key West and II was
Tut one of numerous picturesque in
cidents of their visit to Washington.
They are, however, to do the thing
in a more conventional fashion next
Thursday-the last thing before they
leave Washing ton--when, presumably,
they will be entertained by the Ladies'
Mt Vernon Association. the organi-
zation that bought Mt. Vernon years
ago, when 1t was about to be sold, and
kept IL up, and preserved and beauti-
fled IL. and preserved 1T as the fore
most OF the nations shrimes. For
during the first week of May each
year the women who make up this
association go out to Mt. Vernon, and
hold their annual conference, while
they are in residence there and dur
ing this week the lovely place is
closed TO the general public.
The mission, which came to this
country to dedicate the, statue of
Bolivar, the lfberator of Venezuela,
presented by the republic to the city
of New York. is forging another tie
to bind the republics OF South and
Central America to the United
States. It was Princess Bfbesco who
made the remark the other day that
friendship between nations depends
more upon personal and Individual
relations than upon official acts.
And, IL this be true, the visit of such
and charming men and
women as DR.. Don Esteban Gil
Borges, minister of foreign affairs of
Venezuela, and Nine. Borges, and Of the
other members of the mission and
the ladies of their party, should have
stimulating effect upon the entente
cordiale between Venezuela ana the
United State.
The dinner which Secretary of
State and Mrs. Hughes gave for the
foreign missionaries" on Monday
evening was the largest and most
brilliant Of the weeks festivities. But
there were sundry other dinners, lun-
cheons and tea parties in their honor
One of the pleasantest parties
luncheon-was given just for the
ladies here with the mission by Nine.
Yanes, whose husband, Dr. Francisco
j. Yanes, has been for many
years assistant director general of
the Pan-American Union. Then Mrs
Robert Lansing had a tea-also for
the ladies of the party.
Mrs. Lansing entertafns charming
ly. And she's an invaluable person
to have about when there are visit
ing South Americans to be. enter
tanned, as she knows the country and
the peopleAwell, has a sympathetis

Spanish fuently. All of which helped
her to be a shining success in the
role of the wife of the Secretary OF
State.

had gone agley, and some even went
so far as to hint that Mrs. GIllett was
opposed to the match. ~, SsKSs, &
As matter of fact. OF course. the
cable was never meant to be taken

straightforward when she said before

She and her mother went up to New
York to meet Mr.. Foster when he
landed on Monday, and greeted him
at the dock-with reporters from all
the New York papers.

Atlantic fleet as II came home from

The Hardings took a goodly num-

merry little party, although life

WAR AND THE UNBORN
BY pR. FRANK CRANE Copyright, 1921. by Frank Crane)

The evil effects of war upon the living have been often expatiated upon.
 that war not only murders millions of the strongest and fttest men, but also leaves behind trail of famine of pest of mutilated lives widespread want and of bankruptcy.
 There is hardly home in the world that has not been in some way flecked by the spatterng poison of the Great War.
 MT. Douglas, Dublin merchant, who is chairman of the Board of Quakers in that city, called attention to another way in which the virus of attacks the hu man stock.
 Speaking of the period of desolaton caused by the late bloody feuds in Ireland, he says:
 Tt is the suffering of the innocents the and children, that is the hardest to witness. No intimate what the effects of constant warfare will be on the future generations of Irish There have been precedened number of premature births due to fright and medical predict that children born in days of such terror will grow up heavily handicapped"
 In one section of Ireland reported that pre- mature births had increased threefold since the fight ing started in 1920.
 Mr. Douglas cites one case where the father afraid go for physician after cuew and the mother herself started with the result that her child was born in the streets.
 It would seem as if the world had lived long enough to put away such mediaeva bitterness exists between the Protestants and Catholics of Ireland
 This implies attempts to construe the Irish ques- tion politically way or another But there IS no doubt that aggravatirg element in 1t is religious feud.
 Both Roman Catholics and Protestants pre- sumed to be Christians And it is ghastly commentary upon the intelligence of the human that the follow CTS of Jesus Christ should make their religion occa sion for the outbreak of the basest and most primitive rassions.
 The situation in Belfast according to Mir. Douglas, is probably unparalleled in its deporabe aspects. He says that there have been $500 Roman Catholic work CTS. In outbreak July 10, 161 Roman Cath aci houses were footed, burned and wrecked, and he lome less people had be sheltered and fed in the Roman T Catholic schools
 Of it is absurd to say that the fault all on side, there has been only too much evidence of senseess prejudice on both sides. :; What must be the feeling of the Gentle Christ who promulgated the law of love and the power of human brotherhood when He Looks down upon the dreadful perversons of His spirit shown by two organizations : each bearing His cross standard!

 Even children know that hundreds of thousands of people die annually from alcoholic drinking. Laborers work much less efficiently and pro- duce less under it's influence. The bad poison also works for all sorts of crimes. It provokes misery and un- happiness without a name. Parents who drink do not cease to quarrel quently strike their children without reason In the place of receiving a morseI of bread or meat, one receives blows and kicks and bad words"

 NEW YORK, Dec. 26-The diff culty in enforcing prohibition, as il- frustrated by the efforts of dry agents in this country, has not proved as discouraging to the rest of the world as might be expected. The worl6 pro- hibition movement has suffered no serious setback. On the contrary. it appears to be prospering merrily Most South American countries are resigning themselves to the prospect of an approaching drought. the Orient is listening attentively, if inscrutably, to dry propaganda, and France is waging a discreet but effective fight against hard liquor.
 There is to be nothing sudden about prohibition in France. No at tempt is being made to curtan the consumption of light wines and beer, the national table beverages, but the campaign is directed entirely against he powerful hard liquors eau de vie, cognacs, and brandies. Even these. however, are to be elimi- mated quietly and gently, not ab- ruptly before the population is who'll ly prepared for the catastrophe.
 If 1 may be permitted to say SO the prohibition system in America IS stupid" declared Jean Pinot, noted French author and leader of the anti dlCOnOI forces III r rance. lO an Amer ican newspaperman not long ago You can't wash all the spots off the leopard in a single bath.
