The Nezperce herald. (Nezperce, Idaho) 1900-1957, 1921-05-19

nary fury for this territory broke
over the southeastern part of the
prairie about five o'clock Tues
day afternoon and held every
thing in awed anticipation for
over an hour. A mass of threat
ening clouds hovered over the
canyon south of Nezperce for a
couple of hours and when its for
ces were well assembled a general
movement of the storm was rap
idly taken in this direction. As
the squall approached, people
from the cyclone districts of the
country were made homesick by
the close resemblance to like
scenes they had witnessed "back
east. The rolling clouds were
split by flashes of lighening, fol-
lowed by deafening peals of
thunder, and when the enraged
elements spread over the town
the electrical display appeared to
increase in volume until no spot
seemed immune from the search.
ing tongues of flame. Then came
the wind, rain and hail. A cloud
burst would better describe the
deluge, for in five minutes the
streets were running streams \
but the crux of the downpour|
passed quickly; else the lower
districts must have experienced
a real flood. The fall of hail was
lighter than when limitations of|
this storm have visited us onl
previous occasions. but this de-
ficiency was replaced by the sup
erabundance of lightning, wind
and rain.
However, when the fury was
passed and one stopped to look
about and take account, the prin-
cipal resultant damage was found
to have been sustained by. the
electric service lines and truck /
gardens. The interior Of the To-
cal sub-station of the Grangeville
Electric Light & Power Co. was
a mass of debris and number
of poles were out of commission,
both west and north of this
point; but the service, which had
been laboring under a somewhat
condition because off
high water at the power plants,
was heroically maintained from
the Lolo plant through the night.
1t went entirely out Wednesday
though, and the town
was without power until about 5
0 clock Wednesday evening,
when conditions were brought
back to something like normal.
A feature which augmented the
1isagreeable phase Of the situa-
tion here was the fact that the
towns water supply had been at
ow ebb after the recent draining
md cleaning out of the reservoir
followed by a broken pump part,
md with no power for operating
he pumps Nezperce was a pret-
y dry town for almost day,
With wafer, water everywhere,
,ut scarcely drop to drink.
This storm marked the close OF
! beautiful day, one of the fair
,st and warmest Of the season,
md the weather has since been
lrab and threatening.

piers, writer's, others. What do We
read in this book? 2"
The Premier for the first time re-
ferred to notes. From the blotting pad
before hi he lifted sheet OF paper
and began to read:
ut is by war that are developed
the noblest virtues Of man, courage,
disinterestedness, devotion to duty and
the spirit of sacrifice, up to the aban-
donment Of ones own life. Without
war the world would sink in the mornss
Of materialism."
The intense Frenchman read more
and then looked up, around the tables,
into the faces of the advisory groups,
British. American, Japanese, Chinese,
into the galleries, with his eyes and
shoulders asking il there was any
where in the world person who could
not see in such phrases menace to
the security of France.
"How can you expect. he asked.
"that France should close her eyes to
such words?"
There was applause then. It swept
across the galleries. Balfour was ap-
plauding, and Hughes and Kato.
Nj. BRAND moved on to a discussion
Of the organizations within Germany
by which the officers and non-commis-
stoned officers Of that vast army in
field gray that was turned back at the
Marne is kept in readiness for another
war. He spoke of various organizations
of government police by which he said
agreement she signed at Versailles. and
in which she promised to disarm.
This was the burden of much that
M. BRAND said: There is a difference
between disarmament agreements ap-
piled to the sea and similar agreements
applied to the land. The land agree
ments, he contended, might easily be-
come instruments of treachery.
Gentlemen. there are too many
homes in mourning in our country,
there are too many men in the streets
that are disabled and MANNED. Even if
we wanted to forget we could not" he
said.
Some of the stiffness was gone from
the figure of General Pershing, seated
behind the American delegates. His
eyes gazed off into space, seeing such
pictures as only he could describe of
a devastated France. The Frenchmcn
OF the advisory body, some of them in
their uniforms of horizon blue, moved
restlessly in their seats.
''Therefore. we have not the right
and we do not intend to leave France
detenceless. France must, to all IL
"Nru' @au PutPoSeSs pLOtSCV neTSelI.
Though this was a disarmament con-
ference, the spell Of the Frenchman's
oratory was such that relief was in the
taces or many present-the same sort
OF relief that comes in a thrilling sec
ond act, when beloved character is
put beyond threat of danger. The
diplomats, however, did not permit
their expressions to alter. Such
luxuries were reserved for those out
eide the railings in the galleries.
When BRAND finished there was pro-
ionged applause. Mr.. Balfour began
it, patting his hands together, without,
however, making any sound. I'm
mediately after the translation had
been given the tall, white-haired Brit
ish statesman rose to speak. There
was quality in Mr.. Balfour's voice
that gave hint that Brands was not
speech that had pleased him.
The long jaw Of Ambassador Geddes
protruded just a trife more belliger~
emily than was diplomatic.
Admiral Beattie, in the background,

the conference, there were times to-day
when much that was said was uttered
as warning to Germany. AS M.
BRAND said, it was full-sounding
platform from which he spoke, whence
every word that was said went to the
ear Of all the world.
Then M. BRAND began to tell of pres
ent-day Germany as France knows her.
1t is Germany with thoughts in the
back of her head, Germany unrepent-
ant and cherishing the same ambitions
that were fostered by the Hohenzol-
lerns.
And how can we close our eyes to
this? How can we ignore this state
of things ?" he asked
M BRAND shrugged. his shoulders and
threw wide apart his expressive hands
This, gentlemen, is happening at
our very doors; we have only got to
look. This is happening but few
miles from US, and we can follow the
thoughts Of the Germans, or certain
Germans, and the evolution which ia

Diplomats are not supposed to bs
susceptible to oratory, but by now the
men representing nine nations who
sat about tho green-clothed, U-shaped
council table had swung about in their
swivel chairs go that without effort
they could keep their eyes on M.
BRAND, even as they devoted their
ears.
- "Gentlemen," continued the French
premier. "a volume has been published

thcrity in many German circles, aud
who is followed by great part of the

LONDON, Nov. 21.--The Anglo-Jap-
auese alliance and the American view
point Of it are receiving the principal
space which the London newspapers are
devotinE to the Conference on the Linn
itation of Armament, both in the arti-
cles from tbs speciai correspondents
and in the editoSsei comment.
In "The Times" this morning one
reads Of continuance Of American
hostility toward the alliance. In "The
Westminster Gazette a special cable
dispatch from Washington declares
that the "Americans are beginning to
see that the>allisnse is gratuitous
challenge. Some of the other powers
they feel it phys an Essential part in
keeping the peace Of the world, and
some other mhchinery must be devised
If the alliance Hoes."
Both "The Tines" and @The Evening
Standard" think it Worth while to reit-
crate the English position in regard to
the alliance. The former says: ''There
can be no sort Of doubt that the peo-
pies of this empire would simply refuse
to fight against the United States as
the allies of Japan"
"The Evening Standard" remarks: "If
Japan is inclined to pursue the path
lSdOlHE away from SetClemenC, Sn0
cannot look to this country to be fell
low traveller"
Lack of detailed accounts Of the prog
ress of the Far Eastern section of tha
conference has resulted in but little
editorial comment on this phase. Brit
ish opinion, except for that voiced by
the extremists of the Right and Left,
regards the Hughes naval plan Of re-
ductions as satisfactory and applauds
the British cancellation Of work on four
super-Hoods as demonstration of sin
cerity which the United States and
Japan might we'll follow despite the
knowledge that both will continue their
naval construction until an agreement
is reached. Public opinion here Is very
much in the dark regarding the prog
ress of settlement of the Far Eastern
issue and an agreement on Chinas plat
form.
AS matter of fact, the public is
losing, somewhat its interest in the
conference, due mostly to the fact that
only. the high lights of the drama in
Washington are reaching here, that
most of the newspaper space is devoted
to the cabled opinions Of the individual
correspondents, and that the latter ar
ticies do not always tally closely.

PLEASURES OF YOUNG CHINA
Children Have Many Amusements
Which Are Unknown to Young
sters OF Other Countries.

The children of the Chinese village
led a sheltered, happy existence with
servants and young relatives to amuse
them indoors or without, as the wealth
er permitted, writes NJ T. F., in Asia
Magazine. They were literally sup
piled by their indulgent grandmother
with pocket money in the form of
handfuls of coppers, instead Of the
strings Of cash that sufficed an earlier
generation. From passing vendors
they bought bows and arrows of
brightly painted bamboo, whistling
birds and theatrical figures of colored
earthenware, inflated rubber toys and
an endless variety of rice flour cakes,
sesame seed CONNECTIONS, peanut taffy
and millet candy. On festal days the
choice was wider than ever with
fluffy punches of sugar wool Zine
spun sirup) and brittle candy toys
blown from molten taffy with all the
glass blowers art, in the form of lam
terms, birds and fish mounted on slen-
der sticks. At early seasons there
were huge fish made of bamboo
frames, paper covered and realistical-
ly painted, which swan in a breeze
with lazy grace, or kites similarly
fashioned to represent birds and
dragons which winged upward in fas-
cinating fight.

WORLDS DEBT TO THE MOON
Orb Ia one OF the Most Dependable Of
Utilities, and the True Friend
Of Lovers.

AS an overhead system Of lighting,
the moon is one Of the most depend
able of public utilities.
IT rises and sets like the village
loafer and decreases the working
schedule of a watch.
If it were charged for by the kilo-
watt hour, or the cubic centimeter, 1t
would cost a lot of jack to become
engaged.
The theory that the moon was made
Of green cheese gained some credenee
in the past. but has since been proved
erroneous by able astronomers with
highly developed olfactOry centers.
The moon makes an old man wish
he was twenty and q young man wish
he had two sets of arms.
1t softens the heart, tongues, head
and any tendency toward verbal
thrift. Statements are made in the
moonlight that even 4 police court
lawyer wouldn't try to prove.
Before marriage man believes that
a dog banks at the moon as tribute
TO the splendor of the orb at night.
After marriage he learns the real mo-
tive.
A combination OF limpid eyes, lam
bent beams and placid lake will make
even a deacon swallow his Adams
apple 40 times in succession and feel
capable of playing an oboe.
1t makes them all edible.
Lincoln got his education by the
light of the fireplace.
Countless savants have gained their
knowledge shaving away with the mid
night oil.
Many have burrowed into great
tones by the sputtering flame of the
gas jet.
But the real wise birds-rSe guys
who are hep and jerry-learned most
of their lessons in the moonlight -
