ALLIANCE TALK

Dispatches from England and Toxic
indicate how pleased 'the people of
those countries and the governments
would be If the three or four party
alliance we're to be made-the United
States, Japan and England, or the ALI
ance, with France included, One Eng
fish paper goes to a great length TO
explain how different this sort of
agreement would he from one which
"entangled" America in foreign alli-
ances. Knowing that the AngIo-Ja-
panese treaty probably will become a
thing OF the past, it is not surprising
that the English press should sec in
the plan, reported on the other side
Of the water and said to come from
Washington, a fine and fair substi-
tute.
Conviction remains that any sucn
agreement made at the conference
will he merely an agreement. The Ad-
ministration's desire is undoubtedly
that the Senate should have no parti-
patton in the history Of the conference
or in the results it achieves. The SEN
ate. with men like Borah and Lodge
and others, is far too difficult to man
age. II will be noted that the reports
of these alliances come from sources
other than American.
In regard to China evidence is
strengthened that here will be separ-
ate treaties between her and the ma
tions interested. The four principles
laid down by Elihu Root will play
their part as basis for such treaties.
The influence OF this country will be
New Britain herald., 1921-12-06

~ well, with hope in sight without
Interference, There was LITTLE hope
that things would be Strengthened ogl
completely by act Of our representa-.
tives
In the matter Of economy, however,
the statement Of President Harding in
submitting the budget for the fiscal
year ending June, 1923. discloses that
this aim Of the Administration has
been sought to be carried out and re-
suits have been achieved. The reduc-
ton Of the estimated ordinary eX-
penses for 1929 OF a billion and a half
over those of 1921, and the estimated
reduction Of ordinary expenses for
1923 OF another half billion dollars,
indicate total saving OF nearly two
billion dollars in estimated ordinary
expenses.
But more than a submission of
budget showing economy is needed to
convince the people that they will feel,
personally, in their own affairs, a
lettering of conditions. More will have
to be shown than resulted from the
extraordinary session. 1t is the sincere
hope that more will come.

MAIL EARLY; SHOP EARLY

Daily reminders are useful Yearly
reminders are useful also and more
necessary perhaps, A too-early re-
minder does little good for it is for
gotten when the time comes to act, a
too-late reminder does no good at all
Nineteen days before Christmas!
Certainly it is not too soon or too late
to remind of the Christmas crowds
In stores; of the weary clerks; of the
. words We're out of that" of the real
unhappiness and sometimes pain that
comes from last-minute shopping Just
before Christmas. This, to say moth
ing of the friends and relatives who
will be disappointed and to forget
whom you would be sorry, A larger
field of selection; more time to choose
wisely and appropriately; considera-
ton for clerks and employers and the
possibility of getting just what you
want in time to send it away or keep
1t for presentation-aIl these are
some of the arguments in favor of
shopping early The matter cannot be
urged too strongly, for your own sake
and for the sakes Of those who will
serve you and those to whom your
presents will be given.
A similar situation exists regarding
the postoffice and matter to be sent
through i. Postmaster General Hayes
sends a message to the boys and girls
of the United States, through the pub
lie schools, asking the young people to
urge their parents and friends to mail
their packages this week to prevent
congestion a few days before Christ
mas.
The spirit of Christmas will be found
in this consideration of others. Peace
on Earth Good viii Toward Men,"
will be echoed in every thought that
impels people to shop early and to
mail early.
This is the spirit that should pre-
vail this year more, perhaps, than
ever before.
No matter what others may do,
each person may follow this fine
thought of good will toward man, of
consideration and of kindness, and
change the customary Christmas rush
a period that will make life brighter
and easier, not only for those you re-
member by gifts, but also for those
who help you in selecting and those
who forward the gifts you have Sc
lected.

No daring deed of danger to be per-
formed at the behest of some "ladle
faire" is referred to in this comment
upon the love tester" invented by a
scientist connected with the Maudsty
Hospital, according to a London dis
patch.
This is a purely scientific matter.
It is said that demonstrations have
shown that the instrument will regis
ter such emotions as fear, happiness
and affection, and will disclose
whether love is real or only feigned.
They call the thing that is SO impu-
dent a "pyschogalvanic instrument"
The compleXity of the name, at least,
indicates that it may know something
about the tender passion which, ac-
cording to til Csc pretending to know,
is compleXity itself.
Be that as it may the news recalls
the fact that many an invention comes
after some apparatus, machine, instru-
ment or other remarkable thing has
been made the basis for a tale of tic-
ton
1t was not long ago that the mystery
in one of a series of detective stories
appearing in a popular magazine was
solved by an imaginary apparatus that
accomplished exactly what this inven-
ton is said to bring to light, The
suspect and others, in the tale, were
placed SO that the operator would see
their emotions when certain subjects
were mentioned, and thus on a screen
before his eyes he was able to detect
the one who showed fear when the
crime was mentioned.
The boys and girls know of Jules
Vernes tale, Twenty Thousand
/ Leagues Under the Sea-" describing
the sort of craft that is represented
today by the submarine. The late
Morgan Robertson, in one Of his sea
stories described the periscope, at that
/ time unknown. He however is said to
have made practical use of his imagin-
ed instrument, and to have received
$50, 1000 for the invention.
Tales of the "horseless buggy and
OF flying in the air were told long be-
]
portation became realities.
Thus it may be seen that the writer
Of fiction, with the products OF his
| Imagination often laughed at, may be
the inspiration of the practical man
who turns fiction into truth for the
benefit of the world

CONGRESS OPENS

The opening Of Congress yesterday
brought little evidence Of hopefulness
on the part Of the people of tho land.
Today they are a bit pleased perhaps,
by indicated saving, but they looked
back at the extraordinary session those
who thought of it at ALL and saw
there little to impel the belief that
there would be mediate action from
the body which would help conditions
in this country.
There have been coming gradually
small evidences Of the approach Of
better times. Those gratifying signs
have not been the result of action Of
Congress, and there is, perhaps, a feel
ing that things were going along pref

The most gratifying news of the
day. If it works out as indicated that
1t will, come in the news that Lloyd
George has reached an agreement with
the Sim Fein delegates For this as
surance there comes reports of the
words of "a Cabinet Minister" after a
prolonged conference at 10 Downing
Street, London; The news is not at
all bad" Later he is reported to have
said, after further conference with his
colleagues: IAN agreement has in fact
been reached"
The full terms of the agreement
have not been given out for publca-
ton. They will come in a few days.
1t is not for the United States to Judge
them.
But it is proper for the people Of
the United States who have, on fire.
quent occasions, expressed their sym
pathy for the aspirations of Ireland,
to express the hope that the agree
ment will prove satisfactory to all Gle
ments in Ireland and England, and
that this strife may be settled in all
justice at last. The hope may be voiced
that when the details of the agree
men are presented there will be found
in them the germ Of the idea that
will make Ireland happy and content
ed, and England glad that the right
solution of patriots plans in both

ASKS
FOR XMAS FUND
Negro Institute Principal Writes
TO Herald

For many years past kind friends
from various parts OF the country
have been good enough to send to us
for distribution among the needy coll
ored children In the rural districts of
the South, such new or second hand
toys books, Christmas cards, old
clothing, etc, as could be spared from
their nurseries or otherwise gotten to-
gcthcr.
The happiness and good will which
these little gifts have brought at
Christmas time to hundreds of little
negro boys and girls whose parents
are not able to provide these bright
touches to the Christmas season for
their little ones, can hardly be esti-
mated, Most Of the farmers sold
their cotton when prices were low and
as a consequence were left without
safe margin to purchase such things
as toys and Christmas gifts.
Following the custom Of DR., Book
er r. Washington, we will be glad to
serve as distributing agency for
such articles of clothing, toys, etc, as
may be received, and will be glad TO
place these gifts in the localities and
with the people by whom they are
most needed and where they will be
most sincerely appreciated. Through
our oh-shoot schools and other var
ions extension agencies, we are able
to keep in close touch with the work
and needs OF the various communi-
ties which are influenced by the Tus-
kegce idea of self help and service.
Some friends prefer to send money
for the purchase of these gifts and in
each instance the fund is spent as d.
reCted by the donors.
Yours very truly,
ROBERT r. MORTON, Principal,
Tuskegee Institute, Alabama.
