MUSIC THAT IS AMERICAN
"spIrituais" Of Negroes Sacred Meto-
dies That Critics Say Give Prom
lss Of Greater Things.

The negco's plantation songs,
known as ~Spirituals," are said by
competent critics to be the only dis
tinctive American music. The honor
belongs entirely to the black slave,
and is immensely significant. 1t is
also predicted that out Of these sa-
cred melodies some master composer
will some day evolve a great SYM
phony, Robert T. Kerlin writes in
the Southern Workman. Dyorak,
the Bohemian composer, may have
heralded this musical achievement.
But the sister art Of poetry may an
ticipate music in the great feat Of
embodying a~rtistically the yearning,
suffering, %prayerful soul of the Afri-
can in those centuries when he could
only with patience endure and trust
in God-and wall these mournfulest
Of melodies. Some drama like
'Prometheus Bound but more
touching as being more human;
some epic like Paradise Lost" but
nearer to the common heart Of man /;
some Divine Commedia" that shall
be the voice of those silent centuries
Of slavery, as Dante's poem was the
voice Of the long-silent epoch pre-
ceding it, is the not improbable
achievement Of some descendant Of
the slaves.

DEGRADING THE NATION

President Harding and Secre-
tary Hughes may approve AM
bassador Harvey's speech at the
Pilgrims dinner in London, but
it is plain enough that the
country does not approve.
Mr.. Harvey may have been
speaking for Mr.. Harding when
he told the British people that
we went into the war because
I'VE were afraid not to fight"
but he was not speaking for the
American people. Republican
newspapers havs shown them
selves no less emphatic against
the degradation of the Nations
ideals so Extensively proclaimed
in the Harvey speech.
Many American Ambassa-
doris have said indiscreet things,
but none of them ever deliber-
ately impeached the honor and
conscience Of the country as Mr..
Harvey did. None of them ever
sneered at the patriotism and
sacrifices of the Nation in time
of war and pictured it as a cor
nered rat which fought only be-
cause it was too cowardly to do
anything else. That distinction
is reserved for Mr.. Harding's
personal representative at the
Court Of st. James's.
1t is not thinkable that Mr..
Harvey himself believes all that
he said at the Pilgrims din
ner. Nobody knows better than
he that the American people did
not enter the war to save their
own skins. Nobody knows bet
ter than he that they did not
fight because they were afraid
not to fight" Nobody knows
better than he that they did not
support CONSUMPTION, that they
did not oversubseribe every is
sue of Liberty bonds, that they
did not give lavishly to the Red
Cross, the Y. M. G. A., the
Knights of Columbus and every
agency of war relief, that they
did not cooperate with their
government in every way in the
saving of food, in the saving of
fuel and in the conservation of
resources because they we're
frightened or because they were
sordid and selfish. They flung
themselves into the war with
the fervor of crusaders because
they believed they we're fight
ing for great principles of hui
man liberty.
Mr.. Harvey is afflicted with
the same malignant ailment
that has seized upon so many OF
the Senators. His universe re-
wolves around his insensate ha.
tired of Woodrow Wilson. Be.

cause MI. Wilson was President
of the United States during the
war and gave eloquent express
ion to the noblest ideals of the
American people Mr.. Harvey is
determined to drag those ideals
into the mud of the gutter and
trample them under foot.
It may be said for the Sena-
tors, however, that even in their
maniacal fury against Mr.. Will
son they have confined their as
saults on him to home territory,
None of them has gone to Eu-
rope to assail Mr.. Wilson in the
presence of a foreign audience
and degrade the war aims of the
American people in order to be-
little the former President. That
unparalleled exhibition of bad
taste and "rough-neck' politics
has been left by Republican
Senators to a Republican Am
bassador who announced before
he sailed that in accordance
with Mr.. Harding's instruction.

London, Nov. 19-Germany Is

tion Of engines in aeroplanes, I'M
posed by the peace terms, has pro-
duced a new type Of locomotion.
This is the astonishing news
brought home by Mr.. Handley
Page, who has been paying visit
to Garsfeld, on the Bavarian bor-
der.
"German aeroplane constructors
have turned their attention to the
development OF aircraft with no
engine propelling power" said Mr..
Handley Page, "ar.i they are pro-
ducing substantial results. The
giiders are of various types. One

Drug Traffic
Held Menace
OF Nation S Life

Washington, Nov. 19--under-
ground traffic in drugs, developing
startIingly in recent years, has be-
come a serious menace to the wei
fare of the nation, in the opinion
OF federal officials.
The illegitimate traffic in mar
cotics Is conducted by the so-called
.'dope peddlers," who appear to
have perfectly organized, coun-
try-wide ring.
These drug vendors, for the most
part. obtain their dope" supplies
from Mexico and Canada, although
smaller quantities are obtained by
thefts and illegal transactions
with unscrupulous dealers. Con-
siderable drug smuggling is prac-
ticed on both the Atlantic and Pa
cific coasts, where the Mrugs ar
rive on ships hailing from the ori-
ent and Europe.
The smuggling problem has de-
veloped a perplexing situation. 1t
has been ascertained that large
portion Of the drugs that enter
this country through Illicit chan
nels was shipped from the United
States, after manufacture. by re-
putahle firms.
The belief has been expressed
that the headquarters of the ex-
tensive dope ring" is located out
side the United States and that
they obtain the drugs shipped
from this country with the express
intention of smuggling the dope"
back for Illegal sale.
II Is largely through these un-
aerground channels that the drug
eddict now obtains his supply OF
