than the Emir Feisal, son of the
Arabic only, but he had an able
friend and interpreter in Col. Law
renee, who himself was one of the
unique figures Of the war.
This Arabian Prince, in his nativa
costume, was a striking figure. He
looked not unlike the accepted pic
lures of the Christ, but there the
resemblance ended, for Feisal as
serted himself in a way in which no
signs Of humility were apparent
He came less like a suppliant than
any of the others, for he bore him
self with a kingly air and was i'm
perious in his demands This at
titude, noble as it was, brought
about his undoing and landed him
in exile.
While many failed to realize their
aspirations, yet enough succeeded to
change the map of Europe as it has
never been changed within the mem
ory Of living man. And now that the
theory of self determination has
been so largely put into practice.
the question is, what will the out
come be? Some are already eager
to expand beyond the limits of safe
~, and others are evidencing an un-
reasonably selfish policy toward
their neighbors.
Understandings Essential.
There is one thing that seems es-
sential, and that is some neighbor-
ly understanding regarding Gus
toms. postal service and the none
tary unit. without such an under
standing it is difficult to see how
these small States can live in com
fort and happiness. Many of them
are land locked and some that touch
the sea have no ports that are ade-
quate to move their commerce. But
few, il any, are self-supporting,
and free interchange of commodi-
ties is necessary in order to sustain
a normal economic life.
If a common monetary unit is
adopted and there is no barrier as to
trade. it will probably not be long
before some sort of federation will
come about. Then and only then
will these small States assume a
position of Importance and WELD an
influence commensurate with their
aspirations.

maddest movement in history. In
the endeavOr to be free everything
else was overlooked. No tribal en-

they were nomads and were masters

Not So Much a Patriot
AS He Seems

Joeph E. Powell has agreed to serve
the Nation without salary, in charge
Of financial, accounting and sales
departments. Of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation. If you will look this
gift horse in the mouth, it will be
seen why he has offered his services
so freely. And his services, no doubt,
will result like the country's expert
ence with some of the "patriots" that
served without pay in the past. This
man Powell is the same man who as
vice president and general manager OF
the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corpora
ton succeeded in stopping an effort
to audit the books Of that corporation
when the shipping board was resisting
the claims of the Bethlehem corpora
ton, aggregating so million dollars.
Auditors had been put to work IN
conformity with the terms OF the
boards contract with the Schwab COM
panv, but Powell put stop to the in
vestigation when they had uncovered
S1,OOO,OCO worth of materia shortage.
The a auditors had reported that they
had found neary a hundred mis-ap-
pied items, but they were not per
mitted to run them down, thanks to
Mr.. Powell and a complaining ship
ping board.
Now Powell is going to, take charge
of the future Investigations of the
board him self. He will pass on the
s6O,OOO,OOO Schwab claim. Other
claims will tremendously increase that
sum. He will handle all of them.
Everything depends, both from the
government.
s.ad Schwab standpoint, on the ac-
counting that is to be made under his
direction.
Mr.. Powell is still loyal servant
of Schwab, is it proper to expect him
to shake out some of the exaggera-
tions in his claim? If he is sore at
schwab, as is limited, is his appoint
ment fair to the weeping ironmaster?
1t seems to be in order for some
one to shed tears, and the public Will
fervently honet hat it will be the lach-

Evelyn Nesbit Takes
Overdose of Morphine

- New York, Oct. 28.-Evelyn Nesbit
was resting comfortably tonight after
taking an overdose of morphine when
a. city marshal began moving furni-
ture from her apartment.
1t was vivid day in the life of
Miss Nesbit, once the wife of Harry
K. Thaw, later the wife of a dancer,
Jack Clifford, and now Evelyn Nesbit
again, no longer a dancer herself, but
owner of a tea room in the theater
district. l.
Her financial distress, which caused
all the excitement today, came to
light a month ago when a city mar
shall appeared at her tea room with an
eviction warrant. Miss Nesbit arrang-
ed to pay overdue rent on the $500
a month tea room and her $3.50
month apartment upstairs. The mar
shall went away.
Today another came on a. similar
mission and began taking furniture
out to the street while Miss Nesbit
sobbed, wrung her hands, and franti-
cally called her lawyer on the tete-
phone. The lawyer obtained truce
of a few hours with the landlord, and
Miss Nesbit began calling friends ~
the hope Of raising some cash. In
this she failed.
She telegraphed to her mother in
Philadelphia, and few minutes aft
erwards leaned out of the window and
screamed.
'HtI've taken cough morphine to kill
20 persons," she yelled to the mar
shall, falling back with the cry that
she was going to die. e..
An ambulance surgeon came quick
ly and used a stomach pump.
The landlord on hearing about the
episode announced he would wait TIL
noon next Monday.

| Bacteria forming a toxic substance
was the cause of infected milk at the

a local physician who examined the
milk and sent a sample to the state
