applied in the Island of Raivavae. led
to charge of arson. The government
resident then sentenced the natives
concerned to hard labor on the roads
in the neighboring island of Tubai.
Raivavae is one of the islands of
the Austral group to the south of Ia
hiti in the South Seas.
Recently there died on that island
an old woman. who during her life
time ION accent of her alleged powers
of magic and vindictive temper) had
held tine islanders and particularly
those of her old family connection, in
state of fear. To offend her, accord
ing to the native story, meant a
speedy visitation of misfortune, sick
ness and even death, upon those who
had aroused her displeasure.
Death Fails to Part.
For some time before her death. her
wrath had been directed against some
OF her nearer relatives, and conscious
that her end was near, she warned
them that her passing would fail to
relieve them from her vengeance. out
that even from the shades her power
would prevail against them.
Curiously enough, the native story
runs, no sooner had the old Beldame
been gathered to her fathers than
things began to happen; sickness
broke out among those who laid under
her curse; pigs and fowls died from
no apparent cause; The atmosphere
about the dwellings seemed charged
with menacing influences.
With fear in their hearts the ma
tives under affliction consulted an
ancient warlock who advised that the
only way would be to disinter the
bones of the witch. beat them to pow
der and burn them in the house in
which she died. This they did
Exit Witch; Enter Governor.
With much ceremony and many in
carnations by the old warlock the
bones were unearthed and transported
to the house and the house itself was
burned to the ground, to make assur-
ance doubly sure.
Ali supernatural manifestations, the
natives declare. then ceased.
But misfortune grevious and dire,
descended from another quarter. The
government resident hearing of the
affair. summoned all who were con-
nected with it to his presence and on
the charge of arson, sentenced them
to various terms of hard labor on the
roads of Aubuai.

slowly and gradually, probably over a
series of years.
At this point arises the question:
What will the League do about it?
viii the League insist on going on
and functioning even with us out?"
Strategy Will Win.
Even if the Harding plan" should
depart from the Knox plan, and if
Harding should make an issue with
Knox and his Senatorial followers
Harding will lose and Knox will win.
Knox will win because of an astute
bit of strategy that given him a
mathematical advantage. Knox has put
his plan in the shape of resolution.
I think he must have done so consci-
ously having this strategy in mind. 4
resolution can be passed by a majority
Of the Senate. Harding's plan if it goes
farther than Knox's and involves
agreements with foreign nations, can
only be passed by two-thirds of the
Senate.
This is how the League situation
new stands.

proposal from the Senate, and does
not go any further than his proposal
does, can be then regarded as having
lived up to his campaign pledge? This
point evidently worried Senator Knox
a. little for, in the course of his argu-
ment in favor of his proposal. He
said:
Points Out Association.
THE declaration of a policy such as
indicated, followed by a similar decla,
ration by other nations, would consti'
tute an Association of Nations bound
together by common purpose that,
as I have said on another OCCASION
neither parchment, sealing wax, sigma.
lures nor blue ribbons could make
more obligatory or effective
That constitutes all that is now at
firmative and formal in the Senate
proposal with regard to our foreign
relations. But certain other things
are contemplated separately. What
these other things are can be discov,
cred from another paragraph in the
argument which Senator Knox made
to Senator Harding. 1t reads: "Such
a declaration of policy would not inter
fere with the codification Of interna
tfonal law. The creation of a court to
decide International differences of a
justifiable character, the appointment
of commissions to investigate political
questions that threaten war for the
purpose of enlightening the public
opinion of the world upon the merits
of the question involved, or any other
measures, including disarmament, that
might be agreed upon by the nations
to lessen the probability of war"
Other Negotiations.
1t is apparent, therefore, that the
senate proposes that there shall GO
forward, subsequent to the passage OF
the Knox resolution and separate
from it and from each other, certain
negotiations leading to these things
which Senator Knox says his resolu
ton does not interfere with: namely
an agreement for disarmament, an
agreement to codify international law
an agreement creating an information
al court, and an agreement for com
missions to investigate questions
threatening war. These latter things
apparently, it is intended to take ur

kNSONIA PHYSICIAN
INJURED when TRAIN
STRIKES AUTOMOBILE

GREENVILLE, O.. Jan. 8.-Dr. NJ.
M. Corwin. of Ansonia. had narrow
escape from death when his Ford
coupe was struck by westbound Big
Four passenger train No. IL while
passing through that village. DIR. Cor
win was just returning from pro-
fessional call south of the village, and
as he was crossing the railway at
Main street he noticed that the train,
which was one hour and half late,
was almost upon him.
He Immediately turned his ma chine
to the left, but not quick enough to
get off the track, and the oncoming
train struck the car with great force.
The machine was carried a distance of
20 feet, and DR.. Corwin was thrown
out and badly cut and bruised. He
was Immediately taken to the office
of another physician. where 1t was
found he had sustained a cash over
his right ear, two cuts on the head,
and bis scalp was badly lacerated.
He also suffered bad bruises on the
right leg, but luckily no bones were
broken. The machine was almost
completely demolished. This is the
third accident of the kind that has
happened on the Big Four within the
past week.
Mule Beating Costly.
Howard Siler and Yost Murray, of
Butler township, were arrested We'd
nesday afternoon by Humane Officer
Williams on the charge of cruelty
beating a mule. In Mayor Wright's
court Thursday morning, Siler and
Murray pleaded guilty and were fined
$3.50 each, which they paid.
Taxes Coming In.
Despite the short time allowed for
the payment of taxes in Darke county
this year, nearly 100000 have been
collected by the treasurer since Dec.
80, when he opened the books for
taxes. The office has been open sew
en- days, and sums ranging from $15,-
900 the first day TO $4,000 Thursday
have been collected. Thursday was
the biggest day, s39 ,305.52 being col
lected. County Treasurer Dan Brown
states that many more people could be
accommodated in the afternoons.
The office is usually filled with peo-
pie in the forenoons, but the crowd
dwindles considerably in the after
Moons Treasurer Brown has been
forced to post a man at the door to ad-
NIT only as many people as can be &C
commodated at one time, to save con-
fusion and needless work, in the morn
ings. Taxpayers who anticipate pay
ing their assessments by mail are
warned to have their checks in the
treasurer's office not later than the
fifteenth of this month. The time for
payment of taxes is one-fourth gone,
and about one-sixth of the total
amount has been collected.

Senator Knox's substitute for our en-
tering the league OF nations.
This Knox plan is not of course a
league. 1t is not treaty or anything
else of the kind. 1t is a mere public
official declaration of policy. Senator
Knox himself admits this. In arguing
for it he says "avowed by public Of
fetal declaration it might prove
worthy ! believe to serve with the
Monroe doctrine as fundamental doc
,trine of American diplomacy. 1t en-
tangles us in no way"
Question Arises.
At this point arises an interesting
question. Does this proposal of SEN
ator Knox to which l am satisfied the
Republican senate will attempt to re-
strict Senator Harding's plan, fulfill
the repeated promises made in
Senator Harding's campaign Speeches
that he would take steps to bring about
"An Association of Nations" in the in
terests of permanent peace.
