WHN ycSCefudy up 10 Ocioch
u the evening. The French are
Aghting the Turks. The Russians
Ue fighting each other. The
English and Irish are fighting, and
have been, off and on, for seven
hundred years.
st. PatricRs Day was a great
success. Bonar Law retired from
the British government, which may
se may not indicate q breakup in
the strong machine that Lloyd
George has managed for 50 long.
England says she will be glad to
receive George Harvey. as am
bassador. She will be, for Harvey
knows what Harding thinks, and
what Harding THINKS interests
England. Harvey knows a lot Of
other things in addition to what
Harding thinks. When the Eng
hsh king and queen first hear what
Harvey thinks about President
Wilson they will probably Be
startled out Of a years growth.
They are officially informed now
that Harvey doesn't mean every
thing he says
President Harding has asked the
Attorney General, Mr.. Daugherty,
10 review the case Of Eugene Y.
Debs, IN old man in feeble health.
Debs was never guilty Of any act
Of violence. He expressed his
opinion on the war, now ended.
Under the Constitution he had a
right to do that.
The only crime charged against
him is believing what the majority
Of citizens do not believe.
President Harding. as far re-
moved from Mr.. Debs and social
ism as he is from Mr.. tenin and
Bolshevism, shows his common
sense in ordering the review Of the
Debs case.
Bankers learn something from
Mr.. Bridgeman, who has twelve
million dollars in his bank at
Stapleton, Staten Island. Any
clerk in the bank, when highway
men appear, can touch q button and
set gigantic sirens screaming in
the streets to summon every police
man and every citizen. The .psy-
ehology Of thieves makes them hate
q loud noise. The idea is new and
good. Order your siren.
William Morris. justice in a mu-
nicipal court, denies that he IS
prejudiced against blonde women
on juries. He was misquoted,
never said blondes were tickle and
unreliable. Blondes and brunettes
al look alike to me-" he now says.
Lawyers, however, who soon
viii be. dealing with lady jurymen,
will bear in mind that blonde jury
ladies are better for the defense
they are more apt to acquit and
brunettes to convict. Lawyers will
discover that gradually and bru-
nettes will be amazed to hear them
selves challenged peremptorily."
England says this is no time to
squander money on war and the
United States ought to stop build
ing bsttleships.
BUT, yesterday in the House
of Commons, James Craig. sccre-
tary to the admiralty, announced
that four great wafshios would
be started this year, s1ios of more
than forty thousand tons each.
That is interesting, and inter-
esting also is the fact that Eng
lish officers are teaching the Jap
anese all that England knows
about the use of flying machines
in war. England learned a good
deal recently and is teaching
Japan.
And II Japan, with Asia back Of
her, ever comes against the white
races, it will not be in the old
fashioned way, on the backs Of
ponies, as Attila came, but on the
wings of flying machines.
The Customs Cutters Club"
headquarters in New York City,
which creates fashion" decides
that suspenders are part Of the
past. No more suspender buttons.
That might do for the young, who,
IN perfect condition, can press on
