FRANCE FAVORS
AMERICAN PLAN
Sees Blow at Anglo Japan
Alliance in Secretary
Hughes Proposal
ALL LONDON
is ASTONISHED

PARIS, Nov. 14-Dispatches out
iining the developments at the OPEN
ing of the armament conference in
Washington take first place in all the
Paris newspapers yesterday morning.
Extensive excerpts are printed from
President Hardings address. the
speech by Secretary Hughes giving
the American program for ten
year naval holiday and the com
ments thereon by Premier BRAND
and A. ]. Balfour, acting head OF tne
British delegation. The newspaper
comment is generally favorable
"The Washington conference con-
vened with the formal intention OF
reaching positive results" is the
trend OF the editorial in newspapers
OF all shades of politics. excepting
those representing the Communists,
which insist that a bourgeois" con.
ference can never achieve peace"
The Wash Ngton conference COM
menced with "a dramatic surprise. ''
says the Temps. which calls Mr..
Hughes plan lat the same time def
mite and grand
Some difficulties which the Temps
sees in the way OF plan are Firstly,
OF a political nature; Great Britain
will have to ask herself IL the OBJ
stacles she secs are also obstacles
in the eyes OF the domlnions; sec
ondly. OF a technical nature; limit
ing OF naval fleets for ten years. Il
says. is senseless unless the capacity
for construction Is also limited.
The Journal des Debsts says the
Hughes plan involves the abrogation
OF the Anslo-Japanese alliance. I'VE
understood the Americans stubborn
ness on this question" says the
newspaper. "but we beg OF them
to reflect that the official rupture OF
this pact would merely give them
the appearance Of satisfaction. There
IS no need OF a formal alliance to
bind two countries with regard TO
certain possibilities. The only real
guarantee is regulation OF the ques-
tions which antagonize their peo-
pies"
jacques -Bainville. editor OF la
Iihorts, says the tonnageS proposed
by Secretary Hughes indicate that
the United States means. to retain
the advance and superiority 1t has
over Japan.
IT the hypothesis is admissible
that the British forces will join the
Japanese" says the writer. 1.-THE
United States would he in a posi-
tion OF manifest inferiority. Hence
It is not diflcuit to understand that
one OF the most important points in
the American policy Is the rupture
OF the Anglo-Japanose treaty. The

There is a very dark spot on New

UNEMPLOYMENT

Editor Evening News:
The first step IL a cure is to be
effected is that the patient desire to
be cured. A drunkard cannot re-
form so long as he desires to drink.
We must be just. Have We as a ma
tion and individuals an honest desire
to be cured of unemployment? II
might be supposed that those man
ming the soup-line ranks wished to
be cured, but, though they may
think they do and though ii seems
an unkind thing to say. few of them
do. 1t is not work they want but a
living. Mentally they are on a par
with the fiashily dressed young fell
low who is complacently busy spend
ing his fathers money. also on a par
with the young fellow, or old fellow,
who boasts of his easy" job, of
"getting away with something. Both
of these seemingly fortunate gentle
men are soup-line candidates and
stand a good chance of ultimate
election. There is no joy for them
in labor as labor. A man that loves
work will rarely be found cluttering
the bread line.
A love for work must be inculcat-
ed in the human breast just as we
try to inculcate the Low of honesty
and virtue, and till we as a nation
and individuals understand this and
act upon it We are certain to see
more or less of the bread lines. The
bread line is our picture, a reflection
of what we inherently are as a peo-
pie. Now, the question is. do you
like to look at y~ourself?"
You have noticed that in parades
some ride and some walk. 1t is that
way with the soup parade; part of
it rides in Rolls Royces and Mar
MONS, but exactly like the part
shuffling along on foot 1t Is holding
its hand u for bread which it
never earned. There is money lying
in the banks IF Perth Amboy that
should be at work. There are mil
lions riIsting in other banks simply
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-10-11

because its owners do not love work.
They are shuffling through life with
the mistaken idea that the world
owes them a living. Their Wallets
may be shaking the moth balls from
their fur-lined coats. they may be
faring sumptiously, but the soul of
them is the soul of the derelict shiv-
ering along on the East Side, waiting
his turn for a sandwich.
True it is that employment is the
certain cure for unemployment. but
the willful unemployment of the lazy
rich at the top is responsible for all
the unemployment of such as love
work at the bottom.
Respectfully yours.

JURORS AND TRIAL LAWYERS
Men Who Render the Verdict Said to
Have a Distinct Influence
Over the Counsel.

Juries differ widely. Charles Rus
sell used to say. for instance, that
there was all the difference in the
world between English and Irish
juries, remarks the Manchester (Eng.)
Guardian. Irish juries enjoyed the
fun and the drama Of trial they
entered into it all and appreciated the
cut and thrust; whereas English
juries were concerned more with won
dering how soon they would be re-
leased.
But there Is characteristic COM
mon to all juries. They have quite as
much influence, though in a different
way. over counsel as counsel have
over them. One of the greatest of
advocates, Scarlet Lord Abinger, de-
clared that his success was due chiefly
to the rule he made of selecting one
particular juryman, not necessarily the
foreman, and addressing the argument
as if to him personally. He would
then work away till he felt that he
had convinced this man and could re-
ly on him when the verdict was being
considered.

The ks. in Ancient Folklore.

A story Of Alexander the Great and
kiss forms one of the most thrilling
bits of history. An enemy of the kings
invented novel plot to cause Alexan-
der's death. He discovered beautiful
young girl, who. like Rappacini's
daughter in Hawthorne's story, had
been brought up on deadly poison, and
every one who came near her was
killed by her deadly atmosphere. She
was sent to the kings palace with in
structi0ns to do what would be called
''vamping" today. Alexander saw and
admired her extravagantly, but the
shrewd Aristotle suspected treachery.
Before he allowed the girl to approach
the throne he sent for a criminal who
had been sentenced to death. and in
structed him to kiss the girl In the
presence Of the king. He fell dead
ON the ground, like one struck by light.

The same story appears In folklore
of India. and the early Christian
monks made great use Of 1t in their

On Roanoke island. Off the North
Carolina coast, stands an ancient
Scuppernong vine. 1t Is near the
grave Of Virginia Dare and the site of
the Lost Colony" Nobody knows the
uge of that vine, but many nearby
vines, which seem more youthful by
comparison, actually are known to he
more than one hundred years old.
A regional contribution to Ameri-
can mythology credits Sir Walter
Raleigh with having planted the vine
where 1t now stands, and further
claims are that 1t Is the original Soup
pernOng. Unimaginative Investigators,
however, say that the original Soup
pernong grew wild In Tyrrell county,
North Carolina. along the Scupper-
nOng river. well before 17GO. and that
from this county the species found Its
way to Roanoke island.

Giant Eeis.

II is said there are cells no one can
land. Some years ago a giant conger
was caught In shallow water OF the
shores Of England. 1t measured feet
8 inches in length and weighed Las
pounds. Congers half that size have
been known to bite mans hand In
two and to have driven their teeth
through the blade of an oar.
In 1913 Kakanamsku. the champion
swimmer of Honolulu, was attacked
by giant eel, which dragged him
under water. and held him there for
nearly two minutes. He escaped AT
last, but at the cost of a finger from
his right hand.
Eels attain an immense size In the
rivers of New Zealand and have been
known to attack bathers. In fnct.
many cases Of drowning have been
proven to be where eels have dragged
the bathers beneath the surface OF
the water.

NEED FOR BALANCE WHEEL

Thing, But Should Be Regulated
by Prudence.

Courage is an indispensable quality
In our success; but If it is not bal

Is great quality when it is held in
check by proper cautiousness and
guided by good judgment.

much Over-developed and his faculty
of caution is very deficient. He does
NOT know what fear means, and he
plunges into all sorts of foolish Oper-
atoms which do not turn out well, and
he is always trying to get out Of
things which he had gone into hastily.
II his prudence had been equally de-
veloped with his courage, with his bold
ness, he would have made very
strong man.
Futile endeavOrs, half-hearted eff
forts never accomplish anything. 1t
takes the fire of determination, en-
ergy, push, and good judgment to ac-
complish that which counts. 1t is the

SCENE Of MAJESTIC BEAUTY
Table Mountain. for Many Rsasens, 10
Superior to Any Of the Earth's
Great Peaks

1 have seen many fiat-topped kopjes
In Africa. l have seen the bare and
golden Atlas range drop away into
the golden sands of MOgador, but l
have never seen anything resembling
its mighty mass which Is the dom
inant, the royal fact of the Cape Pc
ninsula. 1t Is by virtue Of Its
mass and the colossal buttressed
cliffs which form its walls that Table
mountain is majestic, as also by the
abruptness of it's rise from the visible
sea-level. The height of inland noun
tains Is matter of faith rather than
sight; but this mountain, like Etna
and the Peak of Teneriffe and others
whose roots are in the sea, announces
its stature Mt once to the eye. 1t rises
more Immediately from the sea than
either of these, yet not so immedi-
ately as it appears to do when seen
from the bay. 1t throws out toward
the ocean low spurs of mingled rock
and green banks. In spring these
grassy banks are all set with flowers.
Among them is pretty white flower,
about the size of narcissus, though
different In shape, of which l have
seen bouquet in England, many
weeks after it had been gathered at
the Cape, standing in a vase without
water and still quite fresh. :.
