Dead" Man Jumps from His Coffin,
 Causing Panic at Requiem Service

(By International News 7Service)
 Warsaw, July - Grand Guigno1 plays are outdone by a drama enacted at Wilma a few days. ago.
 An inmate of the local asylum died and the cofhned body was taken into the chapel Another 1unatic, who had seen the body of his comrade carried away, stole in the chapel, took the body from the coffin, covered himself with a shroud and fell asleep.
 A few hours later a priest arrived and conducted a requiem service. When it was finished bearers lifted the coffin to take it away for the burial. The motion woke the mad man, who jumped out, struck one of the bearers a blow on the head and ran away. The bearer collapsed and died from fright, while the priest and the others fled panic-stricken.
 Their cries brought a crowd to the chapel entrance. Eventually some of the bravest ventured inside to ascer- tain what had happened They found an empty coffin and a dead man on the floor and naturally put the corpse into the coffin. They then be- gan to search for the shroud, which the madrnan had taken away with him One of the Searchers opened tn cupboard in the hope of finding something fit to cover the body. Di- rectIy he did so the hidden dead man fell down on him head first and knocked him down.
 The live man tainted from fright and panic again filled the chapel, the crowd rushing out and scattering

WORLD PEACE
 MENACED BY CAPITAL

Paris, July 5 - The alliance of great powers that wrested victory from Germany is going to pieces through perfectly natural causes and keep it together.
 This is the opinion of Paul Louis, former chief editorial writer of the Matin and one of Frances most bril- liant publicists. He sees no hope for an end of the European chaos until the new process of transition is over.
 ''The idea that government are in love with each other is one of the pleasantries of the day. writes Louis. Alliances are formed with definite JectS are achieved the alliances end.
 '"rhe business of the alliance of 1914-17 was to defeat the Central Powers, and it did it. But now this caapitaliSttc alliance is divided as we'll as each day. England and Italy, that is their governments, think diff ferently than France on the question of the Ruhr and Upper Silesia; Eng land and the United States dispute about oil.
 'In 1914 the mine owners. the steel interests and the shipping interests of England feared German competi- .tion, and that is why they lent their aid to France The government of Italy, in 1915, and the government of Rumania, in 1916, wished to profit by the circumstances to take slices from Austria and Hungary. But today Italy needs no more Austrian terri tory, and England thinks it is time to renew commercial affairs with Germany That explains why Eng land and Italy do not see the same way as France in affairs touching the Central Powers.
 "It is the competition of the an tagonistic interests of capitalists which is causing this evolution in the affairs of Europe The present regime creates only insecurity and instability, for nothing stable for the peace of the world can be founded on the interests of one class"

CONVIYIAL LIFE
 IS BERLIN VOGUE

ances of .Paradise Lost are being staged by the Berlin police, who are est, Berlin's Garden of Eden, where amateur Adams and Eyes disrobe and loll around on Sunday afternoons in regulation pre-apple Eden costume.
 Berlin police surrounded the woods and carefully combed through it, rounding up dozens of followers of the Paradise sect who had remov- ed their annoying clothing because of the heat. Summary orders were given to dress, and the collection of prim- itive humanity assembled where a police inspector arrested the worse cases and freed the others.
 Amateur Eyes cannot be disturbed, however, as soon as they can secure an engagement in a Beauty Ballet majority of Berlin's night-life caba- rets and cafes. Since the revolution censorship has been abolished and the police can interfere to stop nude dancing only when civilian has com plained that the naked dancing has offended his sensibi1ities.
 The Berliner Tageblatt in an edi- torial attacking the Nude Dancers says: "In our favor it must be said that the best patrons of the natural pallets are foreigners, especially the French officers taking a lively inter est in the beauty pallets But it is disgraceful that -12 to 14-year-old boys and girls are permitted to see these performances. The parents of children should at least refrain from taking them with them.''
 The most pretentiouS of the Eve dances is the Natural Ballet in Ber- 1in's largest vaudeville theatre, the Apollo, where 26 charming maidens wriggle aesthetically to music intend ed to represent the four seasons. The | scenery changes for each season, but summer or winter the chorus is pro-

DICTATION IN
 EDUCATION IS
 CAUSE OF TEST

Des Moines. la, July - The die tation of higher institutions of learn ing is bringing on such gigantic at tempts at educational legislation as to test democracy to the limit, Ho- her H. Seerley, of Cedar Falls, la, president of the National Council of Education, told the council here to- day. His theme was '"The Struggle for Power in American Educational Systems.''-
 .,The present period in education in this country is noted for huge en- deavors to raise immense sums of money by gifts, by taxes, and by ad- vance in tuition in order to possess buildings, equipments. and variety of instruction far beyond any former undertakings" MT seerley said
 ''The struggle going on in Ameri- can Democracy is leading to classi- fled citizenship organizations at tempting to dictate class instruction, class conditions and class opinions as to the purpose and the aims of edu- cation
 The institutions of higher learn ing are assuming to dictate every thing regardless the recognition of what is standard and acceptable in public education and thus seek to dominate and control public poli- cieS, public ideals, and public efforts
 'AThis is so prominent that the at tempts to meet this demand are in creasinS public expense to an unpre- cedented degree and are alarming the managers of public elementary and secondary education because they are disturbed in the public service both as to tenure and salary.
 .'The legislation that is being at tempted, national and state. for the regulation, financing 60 d direction of educati is gigantic and so far reaching in character, in seeking in Spection dictation and central liza tion and involves such important consid- eration as to power and control, that every thoughtful person must realize limit

in order?" as President Harding .characterizes it. The menace to the Government by the slipshod meth ods of Federal financing is every bit as serious as was the menace offer ed by the German armies, General Dawes believes, and unless something is done to relieve the situation the system of government is going to break down.
 General Dawes does not believe the nation can go on spending money at the rate of s6,000, 100000 of $7,0O0,- OOO,000 a year in peace times without inviting a crash. The call of pub lie effort to avert this crash, he sin cerely believes, is just as insistent and demanding as was the call 70 arms when the nation was confront ed with the menace of world conflict. Consequently there will soon go out from Washington call to service. General Dawes wants about thirty
 of forty business men, leaders in their various lines. to voluntarily come to Washington and devote from three to five months to the patriotic duty of getting the Governments finances and expenditures on an orderly bus. without pay, and the compensation
 in public gratitude probably will not
 be large. It seldom is.
 ''But," says General Dawes . o
 President will call I have just this seWhen the call came to me to take this place I had the same adherence of the thought. of leaving private life to engage fn such a task as you have. Only the thought that ii l declined the Presidents call in a time of business emergency like this, ]

 That's why they are calling Char | ley Dawes 'TThe Resurrectionist" here in Washington. He is trying to res | urrect a living flame of patriotic ar dor out of the ashes of dfsillusion ment disgust at profiteering and gen

Government Seeks
 To Find Uses
 For Surplus Slate
(By International News service)

(By International News Service)
 Washington, July 5-In order to find useful outlet for waste mater ial at slate quarries' tests have been made by experts of the United States Bureau of Mines to determine its value as filler in asphalt road sur face mixtures.
 According to statistics 90 to 95 per cent. of the gross production of all slate QuafrieS in the United States is discarded as waste, and the labora- tory tests were undertaken for the purpose of devising the best means of reducing the proportion of waste, the utilization of the unavoidable waste to the end that the added cost of the finished production be re- duced
 Actual tests in laboratories of com panieS preparing road asphalt mix lures indicate that for resistance to ipoct slate flour is equal to other filters in bonded briquets and some what superior in sheet surface mix lures. In cementing value it is Su- perior to both limestone and Portland d cement in asphalt bonded briquets and intermediate between them in stand are sheet surface mixture. Tests show that slate flour contains approx irnately 5 to 5 per cent. more of the find dust that constitutes effective filler than either limestone, trap rock or Portland cement. In volume weight it is about equivalent to limestone and approximately 10 per cent su- .perior to Portland cement The cost of slate flour is little more than half of Portland cement, but its ability to colnpete in price with limestone is not yet established.
 The bureau is careful to point out that while the tests already made are not sufficiently comprehensive to give conclusive results they the definite enough to suggest possibilities of such importance as to induce further and more extended research both by slate producers and by manufacturers o1 asphalt road mixtures. The Bureau of Mines is convinced from it's tests fin asphalt road surface mixtures would result in improved highways and that wide use of such filler would afford a profitable outlet fol age to the SIate-producing indus tries.

DIRICIBLES IN
 LITTLE DEMAND

London, July 5-Dirigible airships appear to be in little demand here. A. number of them that cost the British government a mint of money to build are now practically going beg ging.
 The Air Ministry announced some time ago that it was prepared to give up airships if they were not taken over by private persons for commer- ciaI purposes. It now states that it has been decided that unless an offer that amounts to something is received before August l, that all its airship activities will be discontin- ued.
 The airships, stations and material will then be handed over to the Dis posa1s board to get rid of, as the Air ministry, it is stated in the off cia1 report, 'tdoes not feel justified in continuing expenditure on this service
 The Air ministry offers ito seel the R-SO, R-33, R136, R-37 and the for mer German airships L-71 and L-64.

London, July 5--A new preven- ton for influenza has been discover ed by Dr. J. A. Taylor. a prominent English medico.
 Describing the result of his experi- ment in the British Medical Journal, Dr. Taylor says ordinary tincture of iodine is mixed with honey and placed on the tongue every two or three hours or oftener.
 when the recent influenza epidemic broke out Dr. Taylor was in Uganda, and he says that where Europeans and natives who were treated in this way escaped the epidemic, in other settlements and camps around him the mortality was very high.

reSpOnOenI
 Washington, July Here in Wa shington they are calling Charley Dawes .@The ResurrectioniSt.
 MT. Webster's' dictionary defines .<resurrectionist' as lone who restores revives, renovates. or the like
 At first blush the term may seem a queer application to apply to the volcanic new Director of the Budget the same "cussin' brigadier" who was Pershing's right-hand man in running the business end Of the A. E. F. in France, and who. upon his return, almost caused apoplexy among some ataid and dignified mem bers of Congress by character1z1ng their investigations into war expen- .ditures, "a lot of damned rot"
 Hell and Maria!" said Charley Dawes on that famous occasion. We weren't trying to keep a. set of books; we were trying to win a war!"
 The ring of that declaration was heard round the United States. and it effectually stopped, for the time being, at least, any further criticism of the manner in which the A. E. F. spent its funds.
 Now they are calling him s'The Resurrectionist," one who restores, revives and renovates-" Dawes has set himself to the no inconsiderable task of restoring economy in govern ment operation, reviving confidence in the administration of the Govern ment's- business and renovating the -'whole shooting match" as he him self would describe it.
 He sincerely believes that it can only be done by recurrence. by resurrection, or whatever you want to call it, of the flame of patriotic ardor, devotion and determination on the part of the public and the official in Washington, which made Amen. ca's united war effort the wonder of the world.
 Asks New Leader of Patriotism.
 During the war, General Dawes pointed out, everybody dropped near ly everything except that which would help win the war. Everybody dug in and denied themselves this or that or refrained from doing the other thing-always with an eye to aiding the Government, always with an eye to getting a disagreeab1e job accomplished as quickly as possible. National morale was raised to the nth degree and held there by the flame of jealous patriotism and united endeavor of the whole people.
 Why, asks General Dawes, cant rthis same flame be resurrected and devoted to putting our own. house
