NEW GERMAN NOTE TO UNITED STATES
 NOT YET RECEIVED
Continued from Page One)

proposals to the United States, the three coalition parties. as well as the national ists and majority socialists, say they do not propose to deliberately embarrass the ministry.
 Not only did the cabinets action come as bolt out of a clear sky, but in the light of prevailing criticism, Dr. Simon's procedure would undoubtedly have met with instantaneous opposition in the for eign relations committee had he elected to take that body into his confidence.
 The bulk of the present opposition to the foreign minister emanates from the ranks of the German peoples party, which is member of the present government bloc. Huga Shines, and his followers generally have been dissatisfied with Dr. Simons since his return from London and are also opposing him because of his re- cent utterances in Switzerland. His ap- peal to President Harding has served to increase this feeling and while Herr Shines party does not propose to force cabinet crisis at this time, it is rum cred in Reichstag circles that it will wage open warfare against the foreign minister after the counter-proposals are on the way, regardless of their fate.

 T also recommended that the organ ization of United Mine Workers of America, which has hundreds of thou sands of dollars in treasury, collected for this purpose from working miners, support the unemployed men who lstruck until they can find employment.
 .'I stand by both of these recOm-
 mendatiOns, and. while sym
 pnthixe with the miners in their distress, just as | would with any other body of my fellow citizens Of Alabama, I have respect
 whatsoever for the rich and power full organization that has deserted
 them in their hour of need, and,
 having thus left them dependent on the public, is trying to shift it's responsibility and place the burden on the shoulders of the state.
 CAN'T FOOL PEOPLE
 Tt is subtle maneuver, but the foreign agitators who advised it can. not fool the intelligent people of Ala hama in any such way, and the Unite Mine Workers of America will never again be able to command the confid- ence of the people of this state. De- feated in their selfish purposes, they. folded their tents like the Arabs and silently stole away, leaving their mis- guided followers in dire distress as soon as the verdict was rendered against them
 As an arbitrator, I assumed none Of the obligations of either the operators or the minerss but it shall be my pleasure to recommend to the state department of agriculture and indus tries that it use it's influence to secure positions for the men who are out O. work on farms and it is requested that chambers of commerce all over the state who have information of positions to be filled give notice to the comm issioner of agriculture. who will use his influence. l am sure. to place the idle miners in gainful oc- equations. This is by no means d duty of the state, however. and I rec cmmend it merely out of sympathy for the misguided victims of the carpet bag agitators who are responsible for the present Tight of their credul- ous subjects"

The French made tragic failure lat sbuilding the Panama canal be |cause the great loss of life on the tsthMus from the ravages of malaria and yellow fever made it impossible Ito keep. the necessary manpower to accomplish the task
 When the United States undertook Ito aecemplish4 the big job and fin fsh the nncompleted work, the first efforts were spent in making if safe from these diseases.
 The canal is complete and the loss of life occurring during it's build ing is negligihie as compared to that suffered by the French
 All this was accomplished by the application of sanitary measures. First, by, insurihg wholesome water supplies. Second, by screening all living quarters to prevent the en- trance of rnosquitos which carried malaria and yellow fever Third, hy bling or draining all water pools whith might offer a breeding place for those mosquitos. Fourth, by keeping cut away all unnecessary vegetation which might harbor mos qnitos. rs
 Ao effective has been the work that today a mosquito or a fly in the canal zone is almost a curiosity The health Ia better and the death rate lower than in many parts of the United States.
 E Scores oI towns. in the Southwest. lB Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Tekas can take leaf from the ranama canal experience. Malaria Is the 'scourse of many communities, yet little is being done to check the maiady Is your community one, of these?y r
 Encai interest and co-oberation with the state health campaign against malaria will do the job.

By W. R. sToKLEY

 Detroit.-World going to the dogs?
 Think so?
 That the old world and all those ion it are beaded for the general bow-wows seems to he the idea of about everyone these days.
 The Catholic Daughters of Amer ica. in national convention here, said that divorce, birth control, agi- tation and modern dress, etc, indi- cate decadency.
 The Christian Endeavor conyen- tion in New York came out with the same idea.
 The Hon. Ernest T. Tustin, ,presi- dent of the Northern Baptist con yention. held recently in Des Moines. Iowa, declared that 'in our social life there has been a most deplorable lowering Of morale" and that lin our local politics the morale is lower perhaps than ever before"
 And now comes a voice declaring that the alarmists are all wrong.
 ''Bunkum!" cries the Rev. w. L.. Stidger, pastor of the St. Marks M. 10. church.
 "The world is not growing worse

-it is better than ever before and is becoming better every day" the minister declares.
 "T'he world, or our part of the world, is not in its decadency, nof are there signs of approaching it.
 The Old World isn't all right-- it never has been but it is inn proving all of the time.
 You hear about empty churches Many of them are empty, that's g fact. But these ministers who are preaching present-day Gospel in a present-day way aren't talking tc empty pews. There are more per sons attending church than in many years.
 After all, the kind of modern Gospel 1 mean isn't q new Gospel at all-its the real original Gospel the kind that makes men better, because it makes their hearts bet ter; the kind that reaches down to the industrial life and insists on the principles of Christ being ap- piled to the work-a-day life.
 "Immodest, dress? To be criticized surely, However, because q girl wears short plaid skirt is nc indication that she has fallen or is going to fall. Girls of today are just as good as they ever were and much more self-reliai1t.

 successive years he was elected Lord
 Mayor of London and was granted l a knighthood Thus Sir William fCravenS bought Coombe Abbey. in Yorkshire, and there his eldest son, raised to. the peerage in recogni- ] ton of his services as a soldier, entertained Queen Elizabeth of Bo- hcmia in her declining years. i. It was. often rumored that he. married ltfie, Queen. but that has been de- tnied,
 x This royal. lady was the daughter tof James l., but her upbringing lwas entrusted to Sir William Cra- ven, in whom the King had conf Edence. Thus the child grew up, Iand later, in the trial of the Gun powder Plot, it developed that Guy Fawkes and his hconspirators had planned to abdnct her from the Abbey and proclaim her Queen, lhoping her father would be blown Ito death by their machinations. But Elizabeth finally married Fred lerick V, the last King of Bohemia The original building was the first Cistercian monastery estab- llished in Warwickshire, founded by King Stephen in the twelfth century.
 Henry VIII gave it, at the time of tthe Reformation. to the Earl of War lwick. and it finally became, the Iproperty of Sir William Craven. [ viscount Arlington, the only son lof the drowned Earl, found his romance, when, during. the war, he met and married the attractive
 daughter of clerk in Ross-shire. The Cravens failed to frown oh this apparent mesalliance, as they Ewere expected to do,- but took their new daughter-in-law to live with them. while their son went to the front He was sent to France with This regiment, where he lost leg and was badly wounded.

The wedding took place in Scotland, where kits, plaid skirts and high land filings to the skirl of pipes
 made an effective and expensive |start on the road of matrimony. Few know what unhappy fate is
 connected with the inconspicuous
 black pearl studs worn by the Earl.
 There is said to be a legend of
 bad luck connected with the wear
 ing of these ornaments. It was
 revived after the news of his death
 was made public.
