Was a Victim Of Fear.

Pyrenees. a man was bitten by a dog
and sent to the Pasteur institute at
Bordeaux.
He was sent home in a few days, but
declared he was not cured and re-
turned. He was again sent home, but
after manifesting all the symptoms of
the disease and crying out to be
muzzled, he died.
1t has now been demonstrated that
the dog was entirely free from rabies,
and the specialists declare that the
man. who was of neurasthenic dis
position and suffered severely from
shell shock as legacy of the war,
really died a victim to his own fear.

One of Americas most astute states
men and lawmakers, Philander Chase
Knox, died suddenly in his home in
Washington last Wednesday. AS at
torney general, secretary of state and
senator from Pennsylvania, and for
many years as one of the leaders of
the Republican party, Mr.. Knox won
high consideration and fame. He was
a candidate for the Republican nom-
nation for the presidency in 1908, and
in recent years was especially promi-
nent as an answering opponent of
the Versailles treaty, and the author
of the resolution declaring the state
of war with Germany and Austria at
an end. When he was attorney gen.
eral. under President Roosevelt, he di-
rected the suit that smashed the
Northern Securities railway merger;
Taft's cabinet, he did much to extend
American business in foreign lands,
developing the principle of dollar di-
plomacy." especially in the Far East.
Mr. Knox often aroused the antago-
nism of others by his downright poll
cies. but his unauthorized American
ism was never questioned, and his
services to his country were numer-
Gus and important.
1t was expected in Washington that
the death of Senator Knox would re-
suit in brief delay in bringing the
peace treaties to a final vote in the
senate.

Ireland's peace delegates, after re-
ceiving a noisy welcome from their
fellow countrymen in London, went
into conference with Premier Lloyd
George and several other members OF
the British cabinet. The sessions are
likely to continue, with brief inter-
ruptions. for many weeks, and il the
Sim Feiners have their way, the pub
lie will know little of what is going
on until the whole affair is ended. APP
parently both sides are showing tact
and good will, and the feeling in Lon
don is becoming distinctly optimis-
tic.

King Alexander of Servia is the sub
ject of a lot of international gossip
these days. For weeks, since the
death of old King Peter he has de-
layed his going 20 Belgrade to assume
the crown of Jugo-Slavia, and the ex-
plantations Of this delay have not been
at all satisfactory. One day last week
it was reported in Paris, where Alex
ander is sojourning, that he had re-
nounced the throne, preferring the
pleasures of the French capital to the
perils of being a king in his own land.
Next day this story was fatty denied
by the Jugo-Slav legation in Par
is. One of the rumors afloat is that
the young monarch is enamored Of
a French girl who would not be ac-
ceptable as queen.

By EDWARD w. PICKARD.

When the senate last week passed
the Borah bill eXempting American
coastwise vessels from payment of
Panama canal tolls it started some
thing, and that something may prove
later rather embarrassing for the adj
ministration, provided the house also
passes the measure. In the opinion
of the opponents of the bill 1t is a
violation of the treaty of 1914 with
Great Britain assuring all nations
equal treatment in the operation OF
the canal, and they are confident that
the British not only will protest the
bill If it is made law, but will de-
mand arbitration of the matter. Some
senators asserted that it was unwise
to bring up the tolls issue at this time
because it would add a new complica-
ton to the armament conference. This
view was held by Senator Lodge, al
though he declared the United States
had the right under the treaty to ex-
empt its coastwise shipping from tolls
payment. Senator Borah, however, in
timating that he had consulted the
President, said that ''those who are
primarily responsible for the success
full outcome of the conference, so far
az the United States is concerned, do
not share the fears of embarrassment,
which have been expressed on this
floor today"
When it came to a vote, 80 Repub-
Iicans and II Democrats were recorded
In favor of the measure, and IL Re-
publicans and 20 Democrats in oppo-
sition. Free tolls was plank in the
Democratic platform of 1912, but it
was repudiated by President Wilson,
and at his insistence the free tolls
clause In the canal act was repealed
in 1914 after an exciting parliamentary
battle. Last year the Republican plat
form advocated the exemption of
American shipping and President Har-
ding has urged the passage of the
bill. In middle western states bust
ness and commercial organizations are
strongly opposing the measure because
they believe it is designed to benefit
the Atlantic and Pacific coast states at
the expense of the rest of the country.
Many of the middle western senators
who voted in favor OF the bill are
blamed for blindness to the interests
of their sections of the country. The
argument that the measure is in con-
travention of the treaty is weakened
by the fact that coastwise traffic is
restricted by law TO vessels Of Ameri-
can registry, and it is to these only that
the proposed exemption will apply.
The real battle over the issue will
come in the lower house, and it is
predicted that the bill will be allowed
TO sleep there until after the conclu-
sion of the conference on ornaments.

While the foreign delegates TO the

America. our own delegation is hold
eng meetings to formulate the policy
that will be followed. by the United
States. At its first session Secretary
of State Hughes reported that not one
of the participating powers had raised
n single objection to any part of the
tentative agenda he had submitted.
Even Japan, which at first was a bit
coy. has proposed no additions or
Examinations. Mr.. Hughes also said
he had cabled to the powers, as an
addition to ne agenda, the PROPOSE
ton that the conference consider

tfon in the Pacific; which, of course,

The American delegation selected
Basil Miles as its secretary, consid-
cred and approved the physical ar
rangements for the conference, and
then took up the matter of publicity
for the big meeting. The members
explained to the anxious representa-
tives of the press that this is a ques-

but that they would place no obstacle

sible consistent with the expedition

to President Harding, under the i'm
preston that the conference is eX-
pected to accomplish the complete dis
armament of the world. In a reply to
one of them, the President has under
taken to dispel the illusion. In it he
says, as he has said before, that 1t
is erroneous even to suggest that the
conference can go so far as to at
tempt universal disarmament and
that IF we can get a reasonable limi-
tation we shall think that great things
have been accomplished" Continuing
he says:
"By reasonable limitation I mean
something practicable that there is a
chance to accomplish rather than an
ideal that there would be no chance to
realize. 1t is necessary to deal with
actualities; to do the best possible.
Universal disarmament would be be-
yond hope of realization; even it's de-
STABILITY at this time might well be
questioned. Thousands of years Of his
tory recording the wars and contro-
versies of mankind suggest that hui
man nature would require revolution
airy reorganization to make universal
disarmament possible. A consideration
of the present state Of the world must,
l think, enforce the conclusion that
this is not hopeful time to undertake
that kind of revolution. To
undertake the impossible and fail
might leave our last state worse than
our first. The attitude of the nations
warrants confidence that we will not
fail, but rather that substantial re-
suits will be accomplished, calculated
to lessen the armament burden and to
reduce the danger of armed conflict.

Khan, and then Colonel Simmons him
self took the stand. He declared the
Khan is not anti Catholic, anti-Jew or
anti-negro; that 1T was not organized
for personal profit, and has no lawfess
creed, and never has taken the law
into It's own hands. In six years, he
asserted, he has received only $4,000
from the organization. He told the
committee he hoped it would make
the most thorough investigation of the
Khan, and promised that If one one
thousandth part of the charges against
it were proved, he would call the grand
council together for the purpose of
disbanding the organization.
Colonel Simmons declared the at
tack on the Khan was started by a
Democratic paper of New York, to in
crease its circulation, and as a pOlit-
ical scheme to put the proposition for
an investigation up to the Republican
congress, and that certain other met
ropolitan papers had to fall into line
to save their circulation.
tons has decided on the division of
Upper Silesia between Germany and
Poland on the lines reported in dis
patches from Europe, the reactiOnary
elements in Germany will be given a
fine chance to regain some Of their
lost power. Though the reported so
luton of the problem is a compromise,
and gives Germany a considerable
share of the manufacturing region of
Upper Silesia, including the districts
of Gleiwitz, Hindenburg and part Of
Beuthen, the Germans are highly dis
pleased with the decision. The mon
archie press is bowling for revenge,
and the radicals and conservatives unite
in denouncing the partition as "crim-
inal act" The almost immediate re-
suit is likely to be the resignation of
the cabinet, and If Chancellor Wirth
is thus forced out, it is most probable
that Doctor Streseman will come into
power as his successor. He, as has
been said before in these columns, is
at heart reactionary, and is bitter
against the entente allies and the
United States. Meanwhile, according
to rumors, certain of the Silesian cit
les awarded to Poland are preparing
to fight to stay in Germany. The old
German military bodies that were dis
banded when the league troops took
charge in the district, are getting to-
gether again, and arms that were
buried instead of surrendered, are be-
ing dug up. The prospect is far from
peaceful.
