Der. Senator Rolandi Ricci has re-

Wardman Park, and will reach here
the last Of this month, after having
passed most Of the summer In Italy.
1t Is understood that he is sailing
on the same vessel which brings
the italian delegates to the Arma-
ments Conference.
GENERAL DIAZ, soldier as mod
est as he is brave, is a warrior OF
the type America is delighted to
honor. Like every man worthy
or supreme command, his speech
and thought are for peace and
in his own words, his belief is
that to realize world peace and con-
cord we must disarm, not only in
weapons. but also In the spirit and
the passion that make for war" II
is therefore to a great peace-maker
and not simply to one of the most
distinguished .war-makers that the
gate to our hospitality stands ajar.
The general brings as a gift to the
American Legion a figure that SYM
bolizes his mental attitude. It IL

Diaz-for he saved Venice. What
the destruction OF that city would
have meant to the world Of art and
OF culture Is incalculable. After
Caporeeto, when the Austro-German
forces took 100000 Italians and 700
guns. he brought victory out OF
defeat and despair. For nearly a
year after blocking the passage Of
the Piave he prepared for the mighty
and conclusive blow he struck at
Austria in October, 1918. The Aus
trian capitulation preceded the arm
istice by a week.
Great honor is due this epic figure
who impersonates a thrilling chapter
Of history; whose life is crowned by
deeds that saved what Is precious to
mankind in the heritage OF Italy.

that little more than casual appreciation
or realization of what the utilization Of
these things means to civilization is often
expressed. A recent address delivered by
President Harding in Washington was
heard in all its clearnesS, and instan-
tame ously, across the continent and In
many cities east and west Perhaps some
of those who listened while the President
spoke were able to remember those times.

be read by people en- the Pacific coast.
That was in the days of tie stage coach
and the pony express, before the tele

graph of half century ago was not the
efficient utility it is today. 1t may have
reached the borders Of the wilderness. but
it did not extend beyond. ct it was
marvellous achievement that message
delivered in Washington could be quite
generally distributed to the chief centers
of population within twelve or fifteen
hours. And indeed it was an achieve

what may be called the personal touch to
merely mechanical device or utility
and logical development of the mech
anism which has made possible the trans
mission of the modulated human voice is
the ampiifer which renders the spoken
word easily audible to vast audiences in
halls or auditoriums thousands of miles
distant. 1t cannot be said that such an
accomplishment means little. The uses
to which the device can be adapted are
almost limitless, and it is noteworthy
that at the time of the transmission of
the Presidents address, or preceding its
delivery, the audience listened to the
military bands playing at Arlington. And
it is interesting to realize that the &C
complishment of that day was not ex-
detrimental. Indeed it was rather a fur
nishing of convincing proof that the ex
perimental stage had been passed and
that there has been made available a
thoroughly practical utility. The signiti-
canoe of such a DEVELOPMENT can hardly
be estimated.
A few days before the delivery of the
Arlington address, the President had, by
using specially installed wireless tele
phone circuit, spoken to the heads of
twenty eight different governments in
all parts of the world simultaneously.
The spoken words, completing the cir
| cult of the earth, returned in the space of
seven seconds to Washington. Is it mere

the voice OF one who speaks with author

The question of the allied debt to the

subjects of such character out Of the

PERMANENT IMMIGRATION LAWS

The issue still is whether this country
is TO be alienzed or Amercanized.
There are more than thirteen million
foreign born persons in the United
States. The children of some of them
are still too much alien and too little
American. 1t is not their fault entirely,
this alienized condition, but it is none the
less menace.
Some thirty-ive million people have
entered this country since 1884. Think
of thatl Such a migration is a great
event in history, yet we Americans have
disregarded its Importance, relying on

marvellous luck, no doubt; but without
intelligent comprehension of its prob
lens, we are likely to awaken to find
that luck has hidden US 0oodby.
Congress has enacted restrictions on
immigration that hold until next sum-
mer. Now is the time to press Congress
to enact restrictions to hold at least q

DYE works.!

OF these intermediates, one line of
treatment will produce drugs, another
high explosives, another poison gases,
still other perfumes, food favors and
Photographic materials. Some have
varying peace and war time uses with
out further treatment. 1t should be
noted that some of these crudes re-
quire as many as fifteen nanipulations
to produce a given compound and in
each manipulation a by-product is
produced which again must be made
into something useful in order to avoid
waste.
1t is because of this treatment and
retreatment of coal, crudes and inter
mediates that it is SO easy to convert
dye plant into factory for the pro-
duetion of high explosives or poison
Gus gases almost over night.
Germany was indeed farsighted,
back in 1889, when she took advantage
of Perkins discovery, and began the
development OF a gigantic dye industry
SO that she might never be without the
crudes and intermediates so essential
to success in war or peace.
Germany developed the synthetic
dye industry, just as she developed
other industries, to create employment
and wealth for her millions. But
through these developments she learn
ed the value of chemistry, of chemicals,
and of chemists themselves. She real
lied early how dependent her peace
development was on chemistry and
she soon saw the value of chemical in
dustries to war. Germany saw that
the manufacture of dyes required much

making made use of the waste prod
ucts from the coke ovens, themselves
a necessity to her iron and steel in

duction of explosives, gases and ter
tilizers for her fields. This foresight
gave Germany a forty year start on
the United States, and the rest OF the
world.

BDITH POPE GOODHUE

The death of Mrs. Edith Pope Goodhue,
which occurred at her home in Brookline,
Mass, on Nov. seth, brought sorrow to
| numerous friends in Stockton where in
former years she passed many seasons at
her cottage on Middle street OF visiting at
the early home of her husband. Although
measurably incapacitated physically by
an organic heart trouble for more than
score of years, and Frustrated with serious
illness during the year, which prevented
her usual visit here in the summer, the
end came very suddenly. Edith Pope
was born in Conway, S. c., about sixty
years ago, the daughter of southern
mother, while her father was native of
Maine By the removal of the family
| north, she was reared and educated in
Boston and passed the most of her life in
that vicinity. In 1894 she married Rus
sell P. Goodhue, native of this town,
who died at his desk in Boston business
Office in December of 1918 Her home
was shared always with a slightly older
sister, Miss Mary Pope. an active bust
ness wo IAN, who survives. Mrs. Good
hue was talented artist of considerable
rea ute. Her landscapes were always
pleasing and her china painting exquisite.
A graduate of an art class 1T the old N,
E. Conservatory, she taught the latter art
in that institution for a period of nine
years, reluctantly abandoning her brushes
only when forced by i'll health. A quiet,
refined personality, always gracious in
bearing, long will she be iamented, and
much sympathy goes out to her sister
and the sister of her husband, Mrs. Carrie
A. Gardner of this village, with whom
her relations were particularly intimate.
The funeral services were held at the
family home in Brookline on Dec. 4th.
