Sanguine of Its Success

evangelist. and with an effective
less far beyond that of most evan-
Selists. The thing that i aim to
do here Is to point out what MI
Wells vision Is, and also just how
much Of that vision he expects to
see accomplished at the coming
conference. Having pointed that
out, l then want to state just what
Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Root expect
to do at the coming conference,
and to show what miles and leagues
and worlds of distance there are
between what Mr.. Wells expects
and what Mr.. Hughes and the
others expect.
Mr.. Wells vision 10 that OF a
unified world devoted to spiritual
purposes instead of selfish pur-
poses. He believes in this vision
with passionate earnestness, and
writes about II with exalted and
appealing aspiration. In one of
his recent books, The Undying
Fire" he makes one OF his char
acters describe this future world
in words as exalted as the best
spiritual writing In the English
language.
Wells Vision OF a New World.
I'm this present world" he says,
men live to be themselves: having
their lives. they lose them; in the
world that we are seeking to make,
they will give themselves to the
God of mankind. and SO they will
live indeed. They will as a matter
OF course change their institutions
and their methods, so that all men
may be used to the best effect in
the common work Of mankind They
will take this little planet, which
has been torn into shreds of pos
session, and make it again one gar
den.
The spirit OF God in man is
crying out in our hearts to save us
from these blind alleys of selfish
ness. darkness. cruelty and pain. IN
which our race must die; he is cry
ing for the high road which is sal
Vation; he is commanding the or
ganized unity of mankind.
when men cease their inter-
necine war, then, and then alone
can the race sweep forward. The
race will grow in power and beauty
swiftly; in every generation it will
grow. All this world will man make
a garden for himself"
Faces Facts First.
Now, there isn't a human being
who will say he doesn't wish this
vision to come about-this vision of
world in which man takes the
enormous energy he now wastes on
wars and devotes it to conauerinC
the diseases, the weeds and all the
other impedIments that make the
present Jobs world for most of
the human race.
But when Mr.. Wells, in another
or his recent books, takes up the
actual steps which must compose

way towards achieving Il. In an in
tcrview ne gave out the day he
arrived in America he said: III
the conference goes on. II is bound
to develop into some sort OF world
control. not only of international
politics, but OF financial and economic
questions that will be handled on
a world basis"
Now. IL Mr.. Wells is going 10 sit
on the doorstep Of the conference
room and talk like this, magine
what President Harding and the rest
Of the American delegation win do.
They will unite in one wild yell
OF the irreconcilable Senator's slogan.
They will say "Superstate." and order
the janitor to bar the door and put
machine guns at every window. 1t
Is just family within the possibilities
that Mr.. Wells, in the language Lr
the day, may start something"
There are a lot OF folks in the United
States who have Il in them to be
powerfully moved by the kind OF
things Mr.. Wells talks about Most
of US in America are potential cru
saders. Mr.. Wells may start up again
that flaming emotion which enlisted
fully seven-eIghths of America be-
hind the league of nations when the
idea Of that institution frst burst
upon the world and before Mr.. Will
son made his mistakes, and before
the irreconcilAble Senators got out
their tomahawks and went on the
warpath.
Narrow Oncial Scope.
Or course, the things which
President Harding and Mr.. Hughes
and all the others expect to do at
the coming conference have prac-
t!0lly nothing In common with the
vision that Mr.. Wells paints. What
Mr.. Harding and Mr.. Hughes expect
to do is at this moment specifically
and concretely written down on o
sheet of paper. It is called the
"Agenda," and II Includes Just two
main things-namely, a reduction
OF ornaments and an agreement
about certain Far Eastern aues-
lions. The public doesn't realize
how definitely and how practically
unchangeably limited the oflcial
purpose OF the coming conference is.
What have said In this article
is not merely a contrast between
the point Of view Of Mr.. Wells ana
n.
Hughes and the other statesmen
who compose the conference. Il is
a contrast between two schools of
thought. The school OF Mr.. Hard
ing and Mr.. Hughes wants to make
just one short and extremely care
full step toward the millennium
namely. the limitation Of arna-
ments. The school OF Mr.. Wells
and his followers wants TO take a
quick run and q long jump and
land right In the middle Of the
millennium. At the present mo-
ment Il 10 q nine to one probabtIIt
that Mr.. Harding ana Mr.. Hughes
will be able to keep the confer
ence right where they want Il kept.
The conference Is framed up TO be
strictly "hard-boiled," and to con-
slider absolutely nothing except
what Is in the agenda. But the

SANITY NEEDED in PROHIBITION
LAW

Warning that the entire prohibition
situation NAY be thrown into judicial
intervention and review" unless saner
methods a { pursued in making the
country dry was given by A. D. Van
Buren, in his resignation as chief counsel
to the fedora! prohibition commissioners.
He declared that enforcement was beltg
rendered difficult by new restrictions
and that the people are indignant at the
extremes which have been re sorted to In
connection with the prohibition act.
The prohibition amendment was adop-
ted by the paOcle, he SAID, to prevent
intoxicating liquors being used as beVer-
apes. llut on the realization That the
practice Of medicine, pharmacy, chemIs,,

''Resract for the prohibition law cannot
be gained by further cuftallment OF per-
s0nal liberties" he asserted.
On the other hand many public men
are calling for still more rigorous enfor-
cement of the law. They charge that

nL-LUck IN THREE PIECES
Ancient Superstition That Has Strong
Hold on the Mind Of Almost
Every japanese.

You must never take three pieces
Of any cut food on your plate at one
time, nor must you ever offer three
pieces of cut food to anyone at one
time There will be bloodshed If you
do, according to old Japanese super
stition. Why7 Well, three pieces Is
Mi Kire, three cuts, and 1t may also
be, in the spoken language, Mi wo kiru,
In another infection, meaning ito cut
the body" Somewhat far-fetched, but
it holds strong sway In the minds Of
every living japanese. furthermore you
must never cut only three baby dresses
out of one piece OF material. One
tan the usual length of piece goods
will make exactly three baby dresses,
and leave small remnant. This rem
nant, IL you wish the baby. you are
sewing for not to suffer from grieyOus
body wounds, you will cut into some
part of another dress, the neckband.
the belt, or anything you please, so
long as the entire cutting from the
piece is more than Mi Kire, "three
cuts.'' The curious belief in sympa-
thetic magic is strong in every walk of
japanese life, and in every act of daily
existence.

No Perpetual Motion.

Perpetual motion has been the dream
of Missionaries for centuries. Many
men have labored and experimental
on the making and invention of per-
petual machines, but all have failed.
If such machine were invented, it
would, after 1t had been once set in
motion, keep in motion without draw
ing on any external source of energy.
A machine of this description would
entirely controvert the established
principle of the conservation of en-
ergy, and since the establishment of
that principle the search of perpet-
ual motion had been judged visionary
Perpetual motions have been founded
on the hydrostatic paradox, on capil-
larry attraction, on electricity and mag
netism, but in every case the result
has been failure.

Captain Cooks Ship.

The Endeavour, in which Captain
Cook sailed from Plymouth on August
%, 1853, was bought at the modest
price of f2,800 The small tonnage of
the Endeavour was, to Cooks practi-
cal mind, one of her chief merits. She
could be easily careened and easily
handled, and when he was struggling
with the currents of the Great Barrier
Reef her captain was able to thrust
out oars through the ports of the yes
sci and thus turn her into a galley.
He crowded into this small ship a
complement of 85 men, with provis-
ions for nearly two years. The main
object of Cooks expedition was to
take some astronomers to. Tahiti to
observe the transit of Venus, but he
was instructed to proceed afterward
to make discoveries in the south
Pacific ocean, 1t was in pursuit of
this secondary object that the En-
deavour won her place in the history
of exploration.-Man Guardian.

NO ALLIANCE, SAYS
PRESIDENT HARDING
Declares Four-Power Treaty Does Not
Commit the U. S. to Any
Armed Policy.

Washington, Dec 24-His voice
throbbing with feeling, President
Harding replied to his senate critics
Of the four-p0wer Pacific treaty. He
made two statements, one prepared,
the other extemporaneous. In the for
mer he declared:
Differing constructions are unim-
portant; no. alliance or ENHANCEMENT
is thought of Or will be negotiated"
He challenged the .'unjustified
charge" that the United States dele
gates are Withholding information
from him.
This important presidential state
ment was deemed to be necessary be-
cause of the sensational divergence OF
views between Mr.. Harding and the
four American delegates last Tuesday.
The President then said that in his
Interpretation of the treaty the Japa-
nese homeland is not covered by ar
ticle 2. Previously Secretary Hughes
and Senator Lodge had made definite
statements to the contrary.
In his extemporaneous speech, Pres
ident Harding made the following
points:
II believe with all my heart that
1921 has witnessed great progress to-
ward peace and understandings In
this conference is found expression
for righteous adjustment of disputes
without appeal to slaughter. Man.
kind has become wise enough to sit
down and talk whenever the peace of
the world is menaced.
IF there were a menace of peace to
Japan. what objection could there be
to the United States sitting down, say
in New York. with our friends in the
Orient, and seeking a way to avoid a
conf1ict?''
