HEARTtOF CHICKEN,
TAKEN FROM EGG
YEARS AGO, ALIVE

NEW YORK, March 16.-One Of
the most remarkable experiments in
the indefinite prolongation of living
tissues by artificial methods, it be-
came known Tuesday, is the specimen
of a chickens heart extracted from
egg in the embryonic state eight
years ago, which has not only re-
tanned the spark of life, but had
grown many times its original size.
This minute organism was removed
from it's natural gestative place by
DR.. Alexis Carrel, noted surgeon, in
January, 1912, in an attempt to sus-
tain its growth under scientific con-
ditions.

imagination than it was during the
period of actual fighting against that
country. Hordes Of starving people
moving on to neighboring states. Peo-
pie abandoning their children IN
heartless fashion because Of the dead.
ly effect of Bolshevik doctrines. Dis
ease about to wipe out most Of the
population. American prisoners en-.
during terrible punishment. :.
It does not occur to the news max
ers that starving people could not
travel a great way on foot or that
bringing children to public food dis
pensaries, as we do here in our large
cities during hard times, does moi
mean child desertion.
It is also interesting to note thai
the Russian government is buying
grain and other foods abroad in large
quantities. although our secretary o1
state, Hughes, told us few months
ago that Russia was an economic
vacuum, with nothing to sell and moth
ing to buy with, and that hence {
commercial treaty was not worth
while.
In the lower Volga River valley tht
drouth situation is complicated by al
epidemic of cholera, and foreign aid
especially medical supplies which
were shut off from Russia by tht
blockade, is urgently needed. Th'
American Red Cross appears to b.
getting under way to do something

Stopping Wars

At the recent labor convention in
Denver President Gompers severely
criticized the organized workers OF
Germany for not refusing to fight in
the World war. A few thousand Of
them might have been killed, said
Gompers, but driving the government
to peace would have been cheap at
this price compared with the terrible
cost in lives caused by the war.
It may have seemed natural to
Gompers to make this charge because
of prevalent anti-G German feeling, but
we wonder if he fully realized what
it would imply if American labor were
to take the position he chides Ger
man labor for not taking. If Ameri-
ca were to engage in an unjust war
praised and made popular by the kept
press, would he advise our labor
leaders to oppose it to the extent OF
martyrdon?
Tn to the present only what Mr.
Gompers would call the radical wing
of labor has advised any such thing
| in Europe or here. And it is not a.
| well known as it should be that radi
cal labor in Germany and France de
laved the war a great deal. Wal
lords on both sides had more fear O
this radical labor than of the churche!
l or other movements and organiza
tions naturally supposed to oppos'
Iwar. Jean Jaures, the French So
cialist, was shot down in restauran

Morgan syndicate told the English
oovernment that its announced poll
cies regarding railroads would be
most embarrassing to owners OF rail-
roads ia the United States.
IS was most reasonable for the Nor
gan syndicate to be alarmed lest gov
ernment ownership IN England, OF
representation of the workers in man
aeement, would be cited here as 9
most powerful argument against prl-
yate ownership and exclusive financier
management. The surprising thing
is that the Morgan group would have
enough influence to win its points IN
the face of election pledges of the
government now in power in Eng
land.

The Congressional Vacation

Not long ago we gave the congress
men who form what is known as the
agricultural bloc" credit for holding
up vacation plans. Most Of the mem
bers in this group opposed an adjourn,
ment until something substantial had
been done for the relief of the farm
erS.
They deserve credit for this stand,
but a desire to tell the truth COM
pels us to admit that this protest OF
their is not what is delaying the con-
gressional recess.
Congress can not get to the rail
road aid recommended by President
Harding right away, and as soon as
The president learns whether certain
large railroad can get along for 81
davs without this aid congress can o.
can not have summer vacation this
year.
nopulation does not figure in the cal
cuiations Of those who determine
whether or not this vacation is to oc'
cur. The farming business has no

In the United States and attacks nu-

Control measures consist in pastur.

Jaures, with its impending martyr

are glad to see him raising the point

it is good point for workers to think
about.

International Meddling

A good deal is said these days OF
British meddling in American politics
and government. Perhaps this talk
arises because the meddling has been
more intense since England put forth
SO much effort to bring us into the
war. In the old days August Bel
mont, chief representative of English
financial interests in this country, was
a prominent national figure in the
Democratic party, and others of the
same stripe worked in the Republi-
can party.

King Peter Dead

King Peter of Servia has just end
ed a long public career and can be
judged for his virtues and his crimes
only before higher court. He climb
ed to the throne through the murder
of King Alexander and Queen Draga
of Servia in their beds at night, but
murder may be too strong a word to
use in a struggle where both sides use
foul tactics and one Of the two wins
out.
Ever since it secured its freedom
from Turkey, Servia has been one Of
the most corrupted countries of Eur
ope Russian money, Austrian and
German money, English and French
money poured into its ruling class
and many of the state representa-
tives and army officers took money
from all sides.
King Alexander and his queen
showed leaning toward Austria Hun
gary, so English diplomats had to
get him out of the way, and the late
King Peter undertook the job and did
it in a rather disgusting manner. But
Peter was the agent in the crime and
not the principal. When he was on
the throne he was at the mercy of
those great interests who knew by
whom and why the crime was COM
mitted.
Hence it was that those who fol-
lowed European affairs closely began
predicting a general war as soon as
Alexander was killed. The delicate
balance in the Balkans had been bro
ken up and Servia had become de-
fntely hostile state to its neighbor
Austria-Hungary.
