c. H. Van Tyne in a recent article
to the New York Times, made pub
lie an extract from a private letter
which he had recently received
from London. While he does not
give the name of the author, he
says it comes from an Englishman
"of international reputation who
now occupies one Of the most i'm
portant positions in the British en-
pre-" from which we judge that
he is probably a cabinet minister.
He quotes him as follows:
Il wish your president could have
restricted his conference to the
three great powers who are con-
cerned in the Pacific, and who are
also the great naval powers of the
world. A full and frank explora-
ton of the whole Pacific situation
is urgently needed, and if had
been in his position l should have
strongly leaned to a conference
perhaps including China, but GER
tainly excluding any European pow
er except Great Britain. 1t is idle
to look for general disarmament at
this moment, but a limitation OF
naval ornaments on the basis OF a
political understanding between the
bowers interested in the Pacific is
not beyond possibility. Armaments
are the offspring of policy; and no
conference can produce any result
which does not go behind the ef-
feet to the cause. Those who ex-
pect an immediate result from the
Washington conference are doomed
to disappointment.
"The conference. of course,
raises the issue of the Anglo-Jap-
anese alliance, on which I know
your countrymen feel strongly.
For my own part, l think the ar
euments in favor of renewal are
stronger than those in favor OF de-
nouncing the alliance. l have never
been able to see why Great Britain
would be in a stronger position to
protect and assist China If she
were to denounce the alliance than
if she were to renew it. The for
mer hypothesis presumes an effect
i've working agreement in the Paci-
fic with the United States, OF which
as yet l see but little sign. You
may say that the prior condition
is the denunciation of the alliance,
but in that case I think both the
American government and the
American people would have to
show a greater disposition Of friend
illness towards US than they have
yet shown before we could take
the decisive step of turning Japan
loose.
"Ttis leads me to my second
point, which is. that in the present
international situation, if we kick
Japan out Of the company of the
more western liberal powers, she
will almost certainly gravitate to
an understanding with Russia and
Germany preparatory to an agrees
sive alliance for the purpose Of up
setting the political results Of the
great war. Such an alliance would
almost inevitably lead to a terrible
war a generation hence, beside
which the recent war would be
mere picnic. With this in mind,

is propaganda stuff all right.
Now what is the poor newspaper
editor going to do about all this
propaganda stuff showered on him?
The president does not tell us.
How is he going to discriminate
between propaganda that deserves
publicity and that which does not?
Above all how is he going to deal
with the most dangerous of all
propaganda stuff, and that is al
legged news items that state alleged
facts, colored to suit the ends of
those who give them birth. Most
intelligent citizens make up their
minds about any question OF public
interest by what they read about
it, not in the editorial columns of
the newspaper but in its news col
umnss That fact is in itself a
compliment to the truthfulness and
sincerity of the newspaper editors,
for they assume that they have the
facts in the news. They would not
do so if their experience had not
been that the newspapers seek the
facts and give them uncolored as
general rule. But the editor OF
newspaper does not know the
truth of the facts he prints of his
own knowledge. He gets them from
others who claim to know the truth
of these facts. He knows that he
is sometimes deceived and that the
facts he has bought and paid for
are falsely colored for purpose
by the author. He knows it be-
cause more frequently than the
general public have any notion Of
he gets a news item by telegraph
from The Associated Press follow
ed soon after by instructions to
kill" it because it is propaganda"
Some sharp sighted editor has dis
covered that he has been fooled by
the clever dealer in propaganda.
The editor is frankly a propagandist
himself in the editorial columns of
his newspaper. There he deals in
opinions-his own opinions. The
newspaper reader is not fooled by
them. He takes them for what they
are worth. Often he skips them
altogether because experience has
led him to believe that they are
worth nothing to him at least. But
the news columns Of the ideal news
paper should deal with facts. They
should, as President Harding says,
cause the reader to think for him
self and draw conclusions for him
self from the facts stated. They
should be free from propaganda,
but they are not. The best the
conscientious editor can do is to
keep that ideal in front of him and
come as near to its realization as
human nature will let him. Then
he will be a good ways behind it,
for we are all more or less influ-
enced by propaganda, not excepting
the newspaper editor himself.

There's no reason why a person should take sickening, saliyating calo- mel when a few cents buys a large bot tie of Dodsons Liver Tone-a perfect substitute for calomel.
 1t is a pleasant, vegetable liquid which will start your liver just as sure ly as caIomel, but it doesn't make you sick and can not salivate.
 Children and grown folks can take Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is per fectly harmless.
 Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is mercury and attacks your bones. Take a dose of nasty calomel today and you will feel weak, sick and nauseated to- morrow, Don't lose days work. Take q spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone in- stead and you will wake up feeling great. No more biiiouSness, conStipa- ton, sluggshness, headache, coated tongue or sour stomach. Your drug gist says if you don't find D0dson's Liver Tone acts better than horrible calomel your money is waiting for you. -AdvertiSement

WAS THE NEIGHBOR'S CHICKEN
Incident That Was Embarrassing, AL though It Also Had an Anus
 ing Side to lt.

Some years ago, while living in the suburbs, we kept few chickens: our neighbors also had chickens. After the garden season was over we let them run, as did our neighbors. In this way I suppose they got more or less mixed.
 One day I decided to have chicken for dinner, and, not liking to kill 1t mySelf-my husband being away-I asked our neighbor if he would Kill 1t for me. He kindly consented, so brought out the particular fowl had selected. He killed 1t. and I thanked him and proceeded to prepare 1t for dinner.
 When dinner was over I went out to feed the chickens. What was my surprise To find among them the fowl I thought had just eaten. It was my neighbours chicken I had asked him to kill for me.
 Of course, I lost no time in making apologies-and also insisted that they take ours instead, and they had a good laugh at my expense.

EVERY MEMBER GET ANOTHER
Indications Are That. Big Campaign Will Double Membership of
 American Legion.

The "every-member-g get-a member" campaign of the American Legion has begun, and reports received at the na- tional headquarters at Indianapolis In dicate that the purpose of the cam paign. to double the membership, will soon be accomplished.
 To double the membership of the Legion was the ardent wish of r. W. Galbraith Jr., late national comman- der, who was killed in an automobile accident at Indianapolis. His success sor, John G. Emery of Grand Rapids. Mich, was probably the first member of the Legion to get a member when the present campaign opened.
 Mir Galbraith planned the campaign . short time before his death. He was anxious to have the membership doubled by october. It now appears that the campaign will end before that time.
 In his statement setting out plans for the campaign, Mir. Galbraith said :
 "The Legion has earned the right to do something in a national way pri- marily in the interests of its organl- zatIon, and the time has come to exer- else that right. l propose that the American Legion shall exactly double its membership. A tremendous under taking you say. Yes, tremendously simple. Just an intensive effort when every Legion member in the world shall go out, lay firm but friendly hand upon buddy and sign him up.
