They were all starving and dying.

They haven't any soap and they

were unfounded.

THOUSANDS DEAD,

FLOODS IN CHINA

New York Dec. 3o.-New floods,
sweeping over vast sections or
China and followed by famine.
lhave killed thousands and left
hundreds of thousands starving.
This was the message received
today by the Episcopal department
of missions from Rev. Edmund j.
lee, secretary of the international
famine relief committee at Ahnwei.
The yellow river, which last Au-
gust overlooked its banks. flood
ing a large part OF the province OF
Shantung, again has risen. this
time covering great tracts in Shan
5tung, Kiangsu and Ahnwei, and
finding a new outlet to the sea.

"Whole villages were swept
AWAY and thousands were
drowned

river burst it's banks and has be-
come one great inland sea. Large
parts Of thirteen counties are sub
Emerged, the flooded area compris-
ling about 10000 square miles"
other reports received at Epis-
eopal headquarters indicated that
several lakes had been formed over
enormous tracts formerly under
cultivation and that it was impos-
sible to drain many sections. This
would mean that the dispossessed
would be unable to return to their
ruined villages and would be de-
pendent on famine relief the rest
of the winter. :.

HEALTH WORK IN

Ration, N. M, Dec. 30.-The Ration
public schools are probably the first
schools in the Rocky mountain re-
gion to organize and actively con-
duct a department of health edu-
cation. The far-sightedness of the
local board of education in pro-
noting health among school child
rem is being amply rewarded oy
the results obtained SO far. The
increased efficiency OF the schools
as result of this work will tend
to decrease the running expenses
considerably. The work which
this department carries on is reg
ular medical and dental inspec-
lions by the school nurse, all the
physical education and athletic
work in the schools. The local
school authorities believe that a
healthy child Is all asset to the
community and TIN are deter
mined to have all assets and no
liabilities. The nursl can often de-
tect many of the frequent ills in
children and by timely advice and

in school more days than by the
old haphazard method previously
used.
One of the great functions Of the
schools is to establish proper
health habits among the children.
These habits are very difficult to
establish because cleanliness is the
basis of all health and children are
prone to be careless in the simple
rules of hygiene. Health clubs ire
conducted by this department, the
main purpose being to establish
these habits. This makes the dis
agreeable work game and the
children enter it with wholesome
spirit and willingness to beat the
next room in the scores.
Timely advice is also given
teachers concerning various dis
eases which can be expected in
children at most any time, there
by making them able to detect the
early symptoms and preventing its
further spead. All sanitary con-
ditions about the schools are
looked after which tends further
to increase the efficiency of the
schools and prevents spread of
epidemics.

FEELING THE NATIONS PULSE
is COL. VIM. BOYCE THOMPSON'S JOB

Never since governments we're
instituted among men has any pa
tional executive been so close to the
hearts and minds Of The people as
President Harding and his advisers
have been during the conference on
the Limitation of Armament. What
the American people are thinking
of the conference and its actions is
daily before the American dele
gates and the President. Never
before in history has any govern
ment undertaken to interpret so
promptly and thorough the public
opinion of nation. Never before
has any government had its finger
so Systematically on the pulse of
the nation"
From the very beginning Of the
armament conference, President
Harding was convinced that its
great possibilities for world adj
vancement lay in making it quickly
and positively responsible to public
opinion. And the President was
determined to make it responsible
As result an elaborate system Of
feeling out the sentiment OF the
country has been instituted and the
views and feelings of the people
carefully tabulated and interpreted
are placed before the American
delegates daily for their guidance.
In the past, many nations have
striven to guide public opinion.
Millions have becn spent for
propaganda" to educate" peoples
to support government policies.
Germany was a past master at this
work. But never before has so
broad and effective an effort been
made to ascertain clearly and posi-
lively the untranlmeled views of
people as reflected in their daily
newspapers.
The delegates Of the conference
find before them at the same hour
every day the editorial expressions
of newspapers from Portland,
Maine, to Los Angeles, and from
Miami, Florida, to Seattle, and the
finger of government which is kept
hourly on the pulse of the nation is
the Committee on General Informa-
ton Of the Advisory Committee to
the American delegates TO the con-
ference. headed by Colonel William
Boyce Thompson. Colonel Thomp-
son has for years been recognized
as an accurate and thorough in
terprcter of public opinion. He is a
director of the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York, and during the
war was chairman Of the American
Red Cross Mission to Russia. He
was a great admirer of the late
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and is
president of the Roosevelt Memorial
Association.

TEMPORARY BRIDGE
STILL SAFE; COWS
HAVEN'T EATEN /

Cows have not eaten enough of
the approaches to the Barelas tenn
porary bridge to make it dangerous
for use by wagons and automobiles,
according to statement made yes
terday by County Agent Lee Rey-
|nolds and Acting Chamber of Com
merce Secretary Matt Drexel, who
investigated the report yesterday
morning.
Several reports were made to the
chamber of commerce Thursday
that the temporary bridge was i'm
Ipassible, due to the fact that the
cattle had eaten all of the straw
which was mixed with the earth in
making the approaches.
Some of the straw has been
eaten" Drexel stated yesterday,
"but as far as we could learn, not
enough of 1t to impair the safety of
the bridge"
The temporary bridge was con-
structed by the state highway de-
partment for use while the final
repairs to the main structure are
being completed.

PARDON Of DEBS
REGARDED SOLELY
AS ACT Of GRACE
Violation of War Laws Re-
mains Unforgiven BY
Government Says Daugh-
erty; Text Made Public.

Washington, Dec. S0.-Eugene
V. Debs, the socialist leader. was
| granted his freedom from the At
lanta federal penitentiary on
| Christmas by President Harding
solely as IAN act OF grace" his vio-
, lation Of the war laws remain I'M
forgiven by the government. This
was disclosed tonight by Attorney
General Daugherty, who made
public the text of his recommend
ations to the president in the Debs
case.
ut will be observed" Mr.. Daugh-
erty said, that pardon was not
! granted Debs but that his sentence
was committed. The action of the
president in no wise condones the
offense and the relief was solely an
act Of grace. The gratitude of Debs
will be measured by his conduct in
the future"
The administrations theory of
action in the Debs case, according
to Mr.. Daugherty. is to be consid-
cred as the government policy in
relation to others imprisoned for
violation Of the war laws, of which
class of offenders probably no
better case could be selected" he
declared, than that OF Debs.
Regarding this class of social
ed political prisoners as they are
termed by those who are demand
ing their release" Mr.. Daugherty
said, there is no real reason why
they should be treated any differ
entity than any other persons who
| violate the law aside from the fact
that many or them, as well as their
| friends and associates on the out
side, actually believe. and are sim
I cere in their belief, that they have
violated no just law and were
strictly within the constitutional
rights in their public utterances
which have been found to be in
violation of the espionage act.
"Of course. there are Others
among them who were and are
actively, consciously disloyal to our
government and who contemplate
and intend to disrupt and over
throw our present form of govern
! ment whenever opportunity pre-
sents itself, and are working to
that end. AS for them nothing need
be said. They are past reason and
the only argument they can under.
stand is the neavy arm of the law
They have been justly and wisely
convicted and must suffer the pen
atty of their misdeeds."
In reaching his decision regard
ing Debs. the attorney general re-
viewed the history of the case
quoting copiously from the speech
delivered by Debs before the
socialist convention at Canton, o..
in 1918, pointing out that the con-
stitutionality of Debs' conviction
was upheld by the supreme court
and asserting that this was the
second time Debs has "set up his
theories Of government against the
government itself''-referring tc
the so-called Pullman strike in
1894.
In considering the matter, Mr.
Daugherty stated he had given
Debs the privilege of discussing his
case with the attorney general per-
sonally because of his position as
leader in his line of thought
with the desire to give the sub
ject, which affect many Others
as well, the fairest possible consid-

THE WATCH ON THE RHINE.

If and when the American forces of occupation
shall be withdrawn from Germany are practical
questions. Sentimental considerations should have
little weight in the making Of decisions The MIL
tary forces were assigned to the Rhine stations for
specific purposes. When these have been achieved
withdrawal will be in order. This Individually is
what moved the president to intimate an early
homecoming of the Americans now that formal
peace with Germany is in sight No undue tender
ness for the late enemy is to be read into the state
ment that the administration is unwilling to saddle
Germany with the expense of maintaining the Amer
lean army of occupation after the necessity for its
being has been extingushed.
The maintenance of coercive forces on the soil
of nation whose pledges we profess to have ac-
pudiatng our own good faith Difficult as it is to
put trust in German honor remembering her past
conduct 1t is nevertheless essential that we do SO If
we are to regard the war at end and the objects
of the allies and defensive efforts achieved
If the military defeat of Germany has been ineffec
tive in reforming her manners and temperament
then the victory we won an empty thing and
the work will have to be done over again. But
having entered into treaties with her re-estabshing
peacetime relations the victors are bound to dis
pense with war measures
The treaties designed to put Germany in
chains just. If she may too easily escape
from her Stacking obligations it is the fault of
those who drafted the conditions of peace. The
keeping of armed guard over the Germans on
their own soil will not conduce to the development
of better feeling on the part of any. And better
feeling throughout the world is indispensable to
safety in the future.

WORTHY OF HELP.

The Journal invites its readers to take note Of
an article appearing in "As the People View
1t" column this morning. Mr.. Wilson gives vigor-
Gus expression to a condition which prevails and
which should be remedied.
Quite aside from the rodeo, which occasioned
the writing the article Its sentiments are worthy
OF consideration. Albuquerque has made strides
commercially in the past few years. With better
teamwork these advances would have been greater,
put they have been very substantial. However we
fail to do those things in the way Of public func-
lions and entertainments which tend to build up a
city consciousness, city pride and city co-opera-
ton of high order
The rodeo is promoted by the soldier boys. This
fact alone should command public sympathy and
cooperation. Aside from that, it will be specta-
Gle reminiscent of the frontier days which will be
of fascinating interest to thousands OF people to
whom 1t is novelty.
AS business proposition to the city 1t Is well
worth while. AS an interesting public entertain
ment 1t is worthy of support.
Let us get behind the rodeo and push II to
success.
