There was no more deadly thing In

Of rattlesnake would have been well

fexes that would have ordinarily
made him flee In abject terror were
thwarted and twisted by the fever Of
his madness. He stared q moment at
the two figures, and his red eyes could
not interpret them. They were simply
foes, for It was true that when this
racking agony was upon him, even
lifeless trees seemed foes sometimes.
He seemed eerie and unreal as be

w the new session its prompt attention to the
Patent Office relief bill will be service to the
country.
Business of manufacturers and inventors has
been clogged by the inadequacy of examiners and
other expert employees to take of the tens of
thousands of applications for patent rights, the de-
lay OF which is holding up commercial and indus
trial development and discouraging inventive genius
For more than year the bill. providing increased
salaries attracting higher grade employees and in
of the present greatly diminished forces, has
been neglected by the House and Senate for mat
ters of far less Importance to the country-matters
involving wasteful discussion and untowardness.
The bill has been in and of committees and is
now in status with relation to the calendar that
is very similar to that where it started.
About this time last year Senator George W.
Norris of Nebraska Republican, chairman of the
Senate Committee Patents, brought the bill be-
before the Upper Branch of Congress after exhaus-
tive hearings to needs for reform in the handling
of the immense Patent Office business. He pleaded
for its passage as an emergency, declaring losses
amounting to millions of dollars would be suffered
by the business of the country unless the conges-
ton in the Patent Office could be quickly relieved
1t was shown that delegations of scientists and
business men had come to Washington from many
parts OF the country, to urge that something be
valuable lying dormant while their benefits
were needed by the public. There were such de-
termined opposition to of the reforms pro-
posed for the handling of the patent business par
ticuarly with reference to the granting Of rights
to employees of the office and powers of formulating
and exercising rules reposed in the patent commits
soner that the bill was defeated. Since that time
Senator Norris has retired chairman of the
Patent Committee, patent commissioner has
been appointed Investigations as to Patent Office
needs have been made by the House Patents Com
mittee and the bill has been again before the House
OF Representatives. When the news was received
at the Patent Office week ago that the special
session OF Congress had adjourned without final
action on the bill there a sigh of dependency
among the chiefs of the Patent Office but they have
worked trelessly in their efforts to Danish the chaos
that has been growing since the deluges of business
incident to the war and looking forward hope
fully to the early passage of the bill in the
session.

much should be returned and under what rules the
future spos should be divided
All of this is in the name of peace, to avoid
war. 1t is for peaceful apportionment, rather
than one of scramble quite sure to end in some
all getting badly hurt, and that at greater
cost than could ever be recouped from all China
1t is all to prevent war; its honors and costs. =
Yet while these benevolent, compiacent gentle
men bend to their task for humanity, quite another
scene is being enacted in Russia. Sir Philip Gibbs
saw as much of the great war any other one
man. But he says he saw no horrors equal to those
of the famine districts of Russia. The loss Of hu-
life there in this winter viii equal the
total loss of all the beliigerents OF the great war;
unless help in abundance goes at once. &
If Russia did not win the war, she certainly
prevented Germany from winning it. She was the
ally of every government one, which is repre-
sented here and whose delegates are Nbefng BAN
quoted to sick beds. These Russians who starv-
ing by hundreds of thousands, Of her best
fighters, the most loyal to the common cause and
the last to yield to Bolshevism.
Just suppose the United States; Great Britain
and Japan should agreement on the
Hughes naval plan and that on the s-s3 basis each
would give the proportionate costs of just one bat
tleship to save Russia? The thrill from that open
ing day would be insignificant compared to the re-
cepton of such announcement The world would
ring with plaudits and the Christmas season would
regain its true significance which it cannot have un
der the pail of starving Russia.
But whatever the conference may do, President
Harding will play the golden chords of the
hearts of his own people, if in his coming message
to Congress he recommends and urges that the
cost of capital fighting ship be at once appro-
priated to Russian aid. Regardless of what any
others do this country must act or forever be dis
graced that. holding the bulk of the worlds free
money and liquid assets, let millions OF the
people of Russia starve, people always friendly to
this government and from whose present system of
government have absolutely nothing to fear.
