PAGE MIR. VOLSTEAD.

If it has not already been done some one should call the attention of Mir Volstead to recent dis covery" said to have been made by one Dr. Bertoni, director of aborculture at the Kew Gardens London The Philadelphia Public Ledger special cable service credits the doctor with bringing home with him from Paraguay tree which has some of the characteristics of the saloon minus the bartender and the brass rail
 The miraculous is said to be known as the wine tree Dr. Bertoni while in Paraguay observed perfectly sober natives approach certain rees leaning against them for 20@minutes and then stagger- ing away with capacity load and breath guaran- draw prohibition seuths from far and near. Investigation is said have revealed the fact that it was necessary only to make deep incision in the bark with knife, whereupon very strong red wine flows out in almost unlimited quantities. An added advantage is that the wine is always naturally cool
 Dr. Bertoni brought of the young trees home with him wrapped In cotton. If he is successful in his ranspanting experiment, and MT. Volstead does not have embargo slapped on, Paraguay has a chance to build up wonderful export business in wine trees to the United States

Another Good Omen for Ireland.
(New York World.)

By the bare announcement of his purpose if possible, to attend the disarmament conference at Washington Premier Lloyd George lends strength to the cheering belief that by that time the way will have been found to settle the Irish question. If n- surmountabe obstacles had arisen during the peace negotiations in London he could hardly consider long absence from Downing Street If he to Washington he contemplates at the head of the British delegation, it may be for weeks months. It would be out of the question with the problem of Ireland still requiring his undivided attention.
 Clouds rise and disappear and rise again the discussions in London peace in Ireland pro- longed from day to day. Hopes of success ftful and variable reflected in the despatches, when De Valera renews his visits to the British Premier or Sir James Craig thunders about the rights of Ulster But where public opinion throughout Great Britain and Ireland is insisenty for peace, the signs are encouraging that peace may soon be established a secure basis.
 What Premier Lloyd George knows he is not telling But it is fair to read his mind in the plans he is making for the future If he did not look for clear sailing in the Irish question after the pre- liminaries disposed of what would he have for preparing for undertakings at Washington of so great moment the disarmament conference?

No POstponement of the Conference.
(NeW York Post. ]


 The intimation last week that England might ask for a postponement of the Washington conference turns out to have been only too well founded Yes terday both the British and the Japanese Ambassadors lurged Secretary Hughes to to delay. The advanced by the Japanese Ambassador was that time was required for his Government to compile needed data. It is impossible not to believe that if Japan whole-heartedly for the conference she would raise such objection to it's meeting promptly. Her real is doubtless desire to get certain matters of the way in advance of the assembling Of the conference. Englands attitude, the other hand is not much hers it is the attitude of the Dominion Premiers, who wish thresh the issues among themselves before the conference meets. Both Japan and the Dominion Premers virtually argue that the conference is important to render pre- limnary discussion advisable But it is the very i'm porance of the conference that renders delay highly inadvsable
 Delay would that any decision upon mita- ton of would too late to affect Gov ernment budgets for the fiscal year 1922-1923 With the conference assembling November Il pro posed by President Harding, there is fair prospect of action that will enable substantial reduction in next years budgets of expenditures upon preparations for war. But economy while imperatively necessary, is not the chief consideration in favor of confer ensce next fall The the nations get together, the will the whole vast tangle left by the be unraveled. Things are not going to improve auto matically by delay Moreover this is the psychological moment The popular response to the suggestion for conference first limitation of armaments and then broader lines unmstakabe. For the nations 10 meet would be to take advantage of this feeling at its flood. To delay would be to risk some ebbing of the tide. And the of the ference depends to small extent upon it's carry ing world opinion with it, ordinary prudence sells early assembling practicable.

That may be short time for doing all that Japan would prefer to get done in 'advance of the conference but it is long enough The advice and influence of the Dominion Premiers very important and very desirable elements in the situation Three months ought to be long enough to enable them to arrive at decision of general policy To delay is to pater with the whole press ing problem of world settlement. Whatever exists for having the conference at all is for having 1t soon.

Strenuous Efforts are Being
Employed to Prevent More
Extensive Damage
tBy The Assocint.d Press,

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July %. -
Four thousand men are working at
top speed in six hour relays striving
to prevent further spread of the oil
fire which since Wednesday has caus-
ed damage amounting to several mil
lions of dollars in the Amatlan oil
fields, southwest of Tampico, Mexico.
according to advices received by the
Pittsburgh oil companies.
Consensus Of opinions is that the
fire will not spread beyond the con
fines Of the lot where it started" one
message said.
The Morrison well is wide open
making $4,000 barrels daily, it is re.
ported Most of the oil is being con-
sumed in midair, every little drainage
thereby lesseping the danger to ad-
Joining property.
The Eschanier well is also burning
but the valve is partly closed. There
h danger, however, that the intense
heat will melt the valve. Twenty
four boilers have been set up at the
fire.
All other derricks on the lot are
burned down, but the fire fighting
force has succeeded in covering wells
with mounds ofearth.
Another encouraging feature, the
message stated, was the drainage Of
oil in such direction that there is lit
tie in the main part Of the field. Not
satisfied with the attempt to snuff
out the flames with steam, the fire
fighters arc driving tunnels so rs to
reach the wells from underground
and shut soff the fuel supply below
the flames. These tunnels are about
six feet square and must be about
two hundred and fifty feet long.
