Magazine. II has been known to drift
for miles upon floating iceberg. and
this evidently for pleasure and con.

ocean all the way from 40 to so miles

THEY'RE HUMAN
William Anterior Du Puy.

F. H. Newell, former director, now consulting
engineer in the reclamation service. who has
measured and studied more Western rivers than
any man living, became interested in irrigation
through the activities of his grandfather the
first person to adopt irrigation in North America
north Of the Rio Grande.
This Yankee ancestor got the idea in the early
part Of Buchanans administration while visit
ing in Southern France, and applied 1t to a sandy
tract of formerly unproductive land near Boston
His simple irrigating plant proved q great sue
cess. and in time the spot became the most pro-
ductive portion Of the farmstead.
NEWELL never forgot the lesson of his boyhood
and upon entering the Geological Survey in 1884
turned his attention largely to making q hydro
graphic study of the great desert.
His Investigations and reports had much to do
with the initiation Of the national policy Of rec
lamaton in 1902.
met Gen. Amos A. Fries, OF the chemical war
fare service. and Gen. Wendell c. Neville, Of the
marines, and spoofed with them about the vo-
cations they would follow when the arms confer
ence put them out of business.
General Neville said they had 1t all framed up
and that he would become bootlegger and Gen.
eral Fries would drugstore and mix the

Here's a Question and a
Challenge for Mr.. Hughes

the world on the seas and in in
surfing these two international bur
glars in the possession Of the lands
they have already stolen from the
weaker peoples that rightfully own
them. That is all. That and moth
ing more.
And as for relief from taxation at
home, that is bunk. Our taxation
would be relieved if these foreign
debtors would pay back what they
begged from US in their distress and
terror. A few of the billions thrown
into Mr.. Balfour's hat in 1917-if
honestly paid back-would make Mr..
Balfour's present proposals that we
save money by scrapping our splen-
did ships entirely unnecessary. And
what Mr.. Balfour is going to pro-
pose next is that when we have
scrapped our navy we then complete
our alteration of England by scrap
ping her promissory notes for the
billions begged from us when Ger
many had her and her allies beaten
and frightened almost to death.
We challenge Mr.. Hughes and Mr..
Lodge and Mr.. Root and all the pub
lie servants of the international
bankers and any one Of their follow
ing to answer this plain, straight
forward question:
What possible gain can our
America get from this proposed po-
litical alliance with three foreign
nationsi
We affirm, here and now, and
with all confidence, that not one of
them can give a plain, straightfor-
ward answer to this plain, straight
forward question.
There is no straightforward an
swer that anybody can give.
And that is the real reason why
Hughes talks cant, and Lodge talks
poetry, and Root and Balfour talk
humbug.
But if you ask, "What are the
international bankers going to
gainf" Ali That is different
question.
There is very plain and very
simple answer to that.

1t is a plain question. It is a
proper question. It is tremen-

Poweri
We are the most powerful nation

We are richer than these three

Security
Our security is our vast strength.
Nobody will menace that security as

Peacei
How will we secure peace by join
fling hands with three notorious dis
Fturbers of the worlds peace-three
imperialisms and militarisms built
up and maintained by the conquest
and subjugation and exploitation of
weaker peoplesi Look at the
Japanese aggressions upon China
and Russia today; at the Japanese
savage military subjugation of
Korea; at the Japanese occupation
of Manchuria and Eastern Siberia.
Look at England's subjugation of
India and Egypt and Mesopotamia;
at her occupation Of Constantinople;
at her fortified sea-bases all over the
world; at her military rule over
more than four hundred millions of
unwilling people, conquered in war
and held in subsection by the sword.
Look at France, with an army
larger than Germany had in 1913;
at her ruthless rule over her con-
quered provinces in Africa and Asia;
at her conscript soldiers; at her con-
slant intrigue and disturbances of
the peace in Poland, Hungary,
Serbia, Rumania and Turkey this

Does any sane man believe that

Disarmament and relief from tax

There isn't word about disarm-
ament or reduction of ornaments in
this treaty of alliance. Not one
single word. Read it and see for
yourself.
Neither England, France nor
Japan has the slightest intention
to disarm. None of them dares dis
arm, for anyone of them which did
disarm would at once lose it's con-
uuered provinces and the tribute it
forces from subjugated peoples.
True, there is to be an addition
