the Earth

the opening of laundry by countess The
titled "washerwoman" is Lady Clonmell, who
has opened an establishment near Oxford
street.
Spain Has Most Blind

mated, among the Spaniards than any other
European race.

lean line, said that the passage had been
sulting chemist for several brewing compa-
MES, who vas one of the passengers, said
that he found mo formidable demand for
prohibition in Europe. He thought Iceland,
long dry, would go wet in the sprins.
About Egypt
Negotiations between the British govern
ment and the Egyptian delegation regarding
the abandonment of the British protectorate
over Egypt have temporarily collapsed. ABLY
Yeghen Pasha, head of the Egyptian delega-
ton, in an interview with Foreign Secretary
Curzon presented a note saying the delegates
were unable to agree with the British draft
of treaty designed to make Egypt an indie
pendent, though an allied, power.
After the interview the Egyptian delega-
tion departed for Cairo.
Feeding Russia
Despite difficulties resulting from the Gun.
Intentional ineficiency and red tape of the
Russian Soviet government, the American Re-
lief administrator is now feeding about 400
100 children in Russia, according to Colonel
William N. Haskell, chief of the organization
in Russia. One of the greatest hindrances
to the work is the bad condition of the Rus
sian railways he said
Colonel Haskell said the administration ex-
pected to reach 100000 starving children
by the first Of the year, as originally had been
planned He said the administration now
operating 1000 kitchens in ten prov
inces and that the organization anticipated
feeding 100000 eventually.
War Regulations
If the negotiations to limit armament Sue
ceed they may foreshadow a further confer
ence of worldwide scope to recast the rules
of warfare.
Naval authorities consider some UNDER
standing on questions like the use of subma-
rines and gas a natural complement to any
agreement on armament limitation, and they
believe it impracticable for the five powers
to attempt to put such regulations into effect
without Endorsement generally by all the ma
tions.
To draft rules of warfare simply for them
selves, it is suggested, might easily put the
five powers at disadvantage in case of war
with nation which has not agreed to the
new regulations. Any attempt arbitrarily to
make rules for all the world, would be, Of
course, beyond the province even Of the five
strongest powers SO the world conference 10
considered feasible.
Passion Play
The Passion Play committee of Oberam-
mergau, Bavaria, which recently has been
bombarded by proposals from American mo-
tion picture concerns for the privilege of
filming the production in 1922, when the
play next will be performed, is standing
firm in its refusal "to play Judas to our
tradition, despite our poverty" as it puts it.
The committee, it is said, has refused of
fers running as high as 100000 marks
representing huge fortune to the vil-
layers. Their production of the play every
ten years is in sul1llment of a vow made
back in the seventeenth century thus to ex-
press the gratitude of the village, for hav-
ing been spared from plague. The play,
last produced in 1910, was not given in
1920, the regular date because of the NOR
tally among the performers and musicians
caused by the
Remembered Road
Two thousand elm trees will. be planted on
the road between Syracuse and Utica, N.
Y, early next sp- n as the possible Begin
ming of ''Road of Remembrance" extend
ing from New York City to Buffalo, as
tribute to New York soldiers who died in
the World War.
