The | Lantern of Diosenes.

That interesting character known as Mr.. Zero
lately conducted one-man demonstration out
side the doors Of the disarmament conference.
In addition 70 the heart-shapcd umbrella that
he carried in his campaign 10 advertise the woes
Of the unemployed, he had acquired lantern.
After the fashion Of Diogcnes he explained that
he was looking for q MANIA Christian in the
international conference. He was led away by
the police, but not before he had dramatized the
peril that menaces the movement to end war
The spirit OF brotherhood seems lacking in
the negotiations now going on. II is unfair to
put the entire blame for this on the diplomats,
for if their people were imbued with the COM
plete good will which may be called Christianity,
there would be deal less pulling and hauling
In the conference. All this makes most timely
the issuance Of set OF principles by the Federal
Council of the Churches The first three of these
read as follows:
We believe that nations, no less than in
diyiduas, are subject to Gods mmutable moral
laws.
We, believe that nations achieve true well
fare, greatness and honor only through just
dealing and unselfsh service.
We believe that nations that regard them
selves as Christian have special international
obligations.
These and the remainder Of the principles
look simple, yet they have vast meaning. Ma
tons may claim to live up to these standards,
and yet it is plain enough that they do not, or
they would not now be in such turmoil. When
critcising the tricks of Japan, for example, it is
well to remember that it is only the people of
the European nations that pushed their way into
Asia. There is as yet no moral code among
nations; theirs is the law of the jungle. 1t is
beyond the power Of statesmen to alter this
only the people themselves have the power to
change age-old customs.

Corraling the Wireless.

The world will await confirmation of the
story from Russia that an Ukranian electrician
has succeeded in 50 adapting the wireless tele-
graph as to conhne it to communication between
designated stations. If this is brought about
the service Of the radiograph system will be
tremendously extended At present messages are
shot into the air, and any receiver whose wave
length is synchronized with that of the sender
will pick up the message. For that reason
radioerams are confined to such communications
as may be sent open, to cipher messages, or
to such as may be transmitted in arbitrary form,
which is equivalent to cipher. The advantage
of having direct and exclusive communication
is apparent. If it may be secured by some
form of apparatus which is capable OF provid-
inp the secrecy that now surrounds ordinary
wire communication, the gain will be direct,
both in peace and war; The number of bear
stories that have come out of Russia within re-
cent weeks will result in this being set over
among the things that are important if true
waiting for genuine news as to the result OF the
experiments No good reason exists why some
such invention should not come out OF Russia,
save the fact that the contributions from that
country since early in 1917 has been of any
thing but useful scientific nature. 1t will
be welcome change to learn that something
useful has been accomplished over there.

France Rocking the Boat.

lhe shock OF amazemcnt that followed the
announcement that France is planning to build
navy that will exceed either that OF the United
States or Great Britain under the "5-5-37 Hughes
plan increases as the suggestion is weighed
In some of its aspects it appears fantastic When
Aristde BRAND made his eloquent appeal for
the French army before the open session OF
the conference, only few days ago. his words
Tell on sympathetic ears, and both Mr.. Baifour
and Mr.. Hughes fastened TO assure him that
France is not to be left alone to defend her
soil and her institutions. This does not seem to
have been enough.
Under the "5-5-3" plan each of the leading
powers is agreeing to scrap considerable por-
ton Of navy already aAoat, as well as to ad-
journ building for period OF 10 years. A
secondary reason for this is the desire of each
to reduce the burden entaed by the cost of
creating and maintaining navy. That France,
at the hour of its greatest financial distress,
precariously existing under steadily increasing
tax rate and with steadily mounting budget
deficit, should deliberately set out to construct
the most formidable navy afloat while the other
powers were doing nothing in this line, is al.
most incredible. Guarantees of security for the
are freely given, not only to reassure the people
but to give them a chance to recover by re-
ducing the expense of defensive army and navy,
not to encourage them in an unreasonable and
unjustfed extension of their armament.
Germany has no navy, Russia and Turkey
are powerless when they reach the waters edge.
Whom do the French fear? Certainly not the
United States, or England, or Japan, who were
alongside the French in the terrible days of the
late World War. What possible enemy can
menace the great republic?
Lloyd George has just awakened new note
Of interest by his proposal that the British gov
ernment is contemplating the cancellation Of all
debts owed to it by other nations, which amount
to almost $l0,000,0000O0, This will relieve France
of the payment OF large sum of money Not
little pressure is being brought to secure simi
lar action on part OF the United States, and it
is not beyond reason to expect settlement on
some such basis. Can France, in the face of
this and of other powerful reasons proceed
solemnly and deliberately to arm to the teeth,
when all the rest of the world is disarming?
1t is beyond belief.
Or do the French dread being forced to ac-
cept = place as a second-rate power? Or, is
the move simply trading proposal to give life
and vitality to the moribund Wilson-Lloyd
George Cemenceau treaties! Some further de-
tails must be forthcoming before a definite con-
cusion is set down. If the French insist on their
present plan, then the work of the arms con-
ference will have to be largely done over or
go for naught

Saved and Slain by Science.

It is quite to be expected that Improvements
in sanitation and increase in knowledge OF heal
ing will increase the average length of life. In
fact, high official of great insurance company
speaking at national convention OF his busi-
ness, lately quoted statistics which he considered
may indicate "the dawn of material lengthen-
ing Of the span of human life in the United
States and Canada"
There were $4,000 fewer deaths in 1921 than
in 1920 in these two countries, he asserted, and
this year is the healthiest ever experienced
While there has been huge decrease in death
from natural causes, it is matter for concern
that violent deaths have increased Suicides,
homicides and fatal automobile accidents have
taken heavier toll. 1t is said that 10000 per-
sons will be found to have been brought to pre-
mature death in motor car wrecks this year,
loss estimated in economic cost to the world OF
S2s0o0000.
Such is the blind way of man; by science
to reduce the number of premature deaths from
disease, while by use of scientific inventions OF
other kinds, by automobiles, pistols and the like,
doing more to death. There is irony in the
thought of science saving mans life after weeks
or months of care, only to have science, in the
shape of motor car or q bullet, snuff it out

Sovereign Citizen. Not a King.

An American citizen who bears the name
and in whose veins flows the blood of the great
Napoleon denies that he is considering acceptance
of one Of the inseled toys called crowns in Eu-
rope. The decision is about what might have
been expected from a man who was born and
trained in the United States and who knows
the value of American citizenship. Giving over
the privileges, even of the humblest to take on
the cares and difficulties of managing king
dom OF any sort is not the sort of thing to
interest man who has always enjoyed the free
don, of action that is his in America. When
it comes to being mpret of Albania, or what
ever ridiculous title they may bestow on the
unlueky man who becomes the fgurehead of that
country where life is constant succession of
surprises, chiefly consisting in assassination, al
most anybody with good sense and in possession
of all his faculties would pass 1t is not so
long time ago that even German princelet
declined to take on the job, and that at time
when back of him he might have expected to
see goose-stepping the then 'unconquered army
of the all-highest. Nobody at the time blamed
the Albanians for not wanting him, nor the
prince when he declined to accept the chance
of early death entaied by his undertaking to
enter the land he was assigned to rule over For
a number of years the free and easy residents OF
that peculiar little country have comp'acently
contemplated vacant throne, and in all human
probability that condition will prevail for some
time to come. Abanians have about as much
use for kings as Americans would have for

Letters to the Editor
Opposes Vaccination.

Omaha, Dec. 14.---To the Editor of The Bee:
A. S. Pinto, city health offcer, served a per-
emptory order to have all school children vac
cinated or Immediately barred from the public
schools who can not present satisfactory evidence
of having been successfully vaccinated. The
order is to meet what Dr. Pinto says is a more
less serious smallpox situation In the city. 1t
sounds like as if this order conveys the idea
that "great proportion of cases have been con-
veyed by and through the school children"
The city health officers vaccination require
ments for school children is based on the state
law and the city ordinance, which make COM
pusory vaccination a requirement to school at
tendance The majority of the school board
Will the public please note that practically
all the vaccination laws in the states are drawn
over the same last? Vaccinate the men in the
cheap front avenue lodging houses on Eleventh,
Twelfth, Thirteenth, Dodge Douglas, Farnam
and Harvey streets and the people who attend
the dance halls movies and soft drink parlors,
then proceed to clean up some Of the down
town alleys, yes. those which have not been
cleaned for four or more years, first, and then
begin on the school children to SOW the seed

Omaha is not threatened with epidemic of
smallpox, there being only three or four cases
The action of the Board of Health has already
had the effect of dissuading many persons from
visiting Omaha to trade 1t is strange that the
Association of Retailers has taken no action to
thwart the efforts of the health board to throw
a scare into the people. 1t is passing strange,
also, that parents have not risen up In a storm
of protest against the vaccination of healthy
school children, for which there is no lawful
authority. In this connection let me quote a
medical doctor, Edwin r. Heath, of Kansas
City: ~
81 do not believe vaccination prevents
anyone from having smallpox, and on no con-
dition should it be made compulsory. 1t Is an
outrage to compel school children to be vac
cinated. Vaccination is always liable to be fol-
lowed by blood poisoning, tetanus and abscesses
and it may cause other very serious diseases.

same effect. What is the motive actuating our
