A MASS OF CAMELS

In the July Worlds Work Colonel Lawrence tells of his first glimpse of the Arabian Army:
 The mass of Feisars army filled the valley from side to side. There were hundreds of brushwood fires burning, with Arabs around them making coffee, or eating, or sleeping like dead men mufned in their cloaks, as closely as they could in the confusion of camels- I had never imagined so many cameis together, and the mess was indescribable, as they were couched or tied up here and there all over the camping ground and more were always coming in, and the old ones 1eaping up on three legs to join them, roaring with hunger and agitation. Patrols were going out, and caravans being un1oaded. and some dozens of Egyptian mules were bucking angrily all over the middle of the scene

POSTPONED TO 1880.

(From the Boston Post).
 The unsatisfactory result of the dictatorship of the proletariat" ex- pertinent in Russia was reflected in the action of the Socialist National Convention at Detroit in refusing to incorporate any reference to the idea in the expressions of party policy. Just how remote the possibility of such an experiment in this country is now considered, even by political extremists, is suggested by the ques- ton put by Victor Berer:
 Why dictate in 1921 what our grandchildren shall do in 1880?
 News from Russia-so far as the general public is concerned-is con- fused and meagre. Leaders of the Socialist Convention, however, should be able to learn the truth, if anybody can; and their course does not s,g- gest that the latest information re- garding dictatorship of the proIet- ariat" is of nature to encourage them to enthuse over the theory.

TAFT APPOINTED
 CHIEF JUSTICE IS CONFIRMED 6O-4

washington, June 30-Former President William Howard Taft was
 nominated late this afternoon to be
 Chief Justice of the United States. i'll the Senate by a vote of 60 to f. Those voting against approval were Senators Borah, Johnson, La Folette and Watson of Georgia.
 For more than two years MT. Taft
 has been at outs with some Republi- can Senators. His fight for the League of Nations estranged all the Irreconcilables. His denunciation of
 the Senate aroused the anger of the reServauonist following of Senator Lodge.
 Borah Leads Opposition. The opposition was led by Senator Borah, basing his opposition on the ground that for thirty years MT. Taft has not been a lawyer. He also de- clared in executive session that MT. Taft has not tried a case or practiced law during three decades pointing out that MT. Taft is sixty-three years
 old, within seven years of the age re-
 t1rement period fixed by law.
 Four years ago, MT. Borah said, the republican party took a great lawyer
 rom the Supreme Bench and showed
 party takes great politician and puts him on the court. This course
 is making the Supreme Court the
 plaything of politics. he insisted. d1.)
 MT. Taft is not a lawyer of sufficient experience for the position, while Senator Smith (Dem., s. CD said he
 would be untrue to the South if he did not say a good word for MT. Taft. He explained that when Mr. Taft was President he permitted only the better elements in his and other Southern
 States to vote and hold office, and in so doing won the everlasting grati- tude of the South.
 Senator Taft would be confirmed under all circumstances, and the best plan was to do it as speedily and as graciously as possible.
 Reference was made by Mr. Under
 wood to MT. Tafts appointment of
 Edward D. White of Louisiana as Chief Justice, and said he felt that in return the South should now support
 MT. Taft. The roll call then followed
 Meanwhile the former President,
 who is in Canada, has not been ap-
 prised of his selection, has not even
 been requested by the President to
 definitely of the Presidents act in
 nominating him only when he learns it through the newspaper sources.
 MT. Taft's nomination was unusual in that it marks the return of an other President to public life after the expiration of his term. George Washington was commissioned Lieu- tenant General Commanding the Army after retiring from the Presidency. James Monroe followed his term in the White House by presiding during the Virginia Constitutional Conven- ton and serving as Justice of the Peace in his home county. John Quincy Adams served nine terms in the House after he had been Presi- dent, and Andrew Johnson was elect ed to the United States Senate follow ing the expiration of his term as Presid ent, but died shortly after talk ing his seat. MT. Taft also breaks precedent in that he has been chosen fer the two highest offices in the eX- ecutive and judicial branches of the Federal GovernmNlt, the first man in the Nations history to be so honored.
