No Naval Demonstration


 WASHINGTON, March A num- Der of vessels of the special service squadron in Panama waters will prob ably be ordered to the mouth of the SiXola river. where Costa Rican troops have crossed into the disputed territory of Panama, it was said here tonight At the navy department, however, it was said no such orders had been issued although state department officials said that they had requested that several vessels be sent there, but under spe- cific orders to effect no landing.
 Cable adVices received by the Pana- ma legation told of the crossing of the Costa Rican troops and added that the Panama troops were withdrawing on orders from Panama City The Panama government, legation officials said had accepted the offer of the United States of it's good offices to achieve a peaceful solution. and it was desired to commit no act that would endanger such so- lution.
 League May Act PARIS. March 4-Messages have been sent by the league of nations coun- cil to Panama and Costa Rica calling their attention to the fact that the re- publics are members of the league and consequently undertook to subscribe to its principles.
 A few hours after the messages were sent and presumably before they were received the league received a cGblegram 1 from the Panama government report ing attacks upon Panamanian soldiers i by regular troops of Costa RiCa and protesting against acts of violence committed by a member of the league"

Self Determination and the Debtor.

When Woodrow Wilson was authorizing
loans to the insolvent nations Of Europe, it was
well understood that the purpose was to enable
them to carry on war. Then it was much to our
interest that they should be so encouraged. Now
that the war is over we realize more fully the
inability of our debtors to make immediate pay
ment Settlement of the debt is to be indefinitely
postponed. OF course it is exasperating to note
that the people who owe US so much money,
which we could use right now to good advan-
tage, persist in maintaining expensive ar,na-
ments. 1t is unfair, however, to allege that they
are forced to this by the example of the United
States. At the beginning of the war it was re-
marked that the army Of the United States would
just about make zone good days killing" for a
European army. Nations over there had expressed
their right Of self-determmation by setting up
huge fighting forces. Some Of them are Of the
opinion that such course still is prudent. OF
course, we would much prefer that they should
devote the cost OF armament to payment of an
installment on their open account with US. How
ever, if the doctrine enunciated by the great
democratic leader is to have effect, all we can
do is to present bill from time to time, and
patiently abide the result. Uncle Sam is not
nearly so popular abroad just now as he was
sour years ago.

Another Fourth Of July Thrill"

Promise of peace by July Fourth is made by
the conierccs who have been struggling with the
peace resolution. 1t is reported they have COM
posed the differences between the Knox and Por-
ter drafts, and that at meeting of the full COM
mittee today the mater will be prepared for
presentation to the respective houses, that the
decision can be reached before the glorious
Fourth
This is good news. 1t will serve, however,
to recall "thrill' that was afforded this coun-
try four years ago when George Creel sent out
his famous story of the battle between the naval
transport and the German submarine That was
some yarn. Indeed, no incident of the war was
SO glowingly, so eloqucntly, so convincingly set
forth. With the resounding boom Of those glow
ing words revcrberatng throughout the land,
every American breast expanded just trife,
every American head was tilted just little
more proudly, and the eagle screamed on his
natal day as he had not screamed since that other
memorable Fourth when Sampson pounded Ger
vcra's feet into wreckagc at Santiago. All it
lacked was the element of truth
As matter Of fact, it was fgment OF the
perfervid Imagination Of the greatest writer OF
fiction that ever held position under response
bic government. Josephus Daniels, as secretary
OF navy, authorized the attachment Of his name
to the wonderful fairy tale and it was going good
when it got to the other side, and was called to
the attention of Admiral Sims, who happened to
be the hero Of the yarn. Sims, with the frank
ness and bluntness that has characterized him
since, denounced it as id lie" and insisted
on its retraction. Daniels reluctantly withdrew
the story and its author admitted its fasity, add
ing by way of extenuation that he sought to pro-
vide America with thrill.
Woodrow Wilson retained Creel who emitted
many another specimen Of his capacity for inven-
ton, but none that so Inundated all lovers of
truth as did his tale. of the naval engagement
that never took place. The thrill that will come
with the announcement of peace, even though it
be but technical, will be sincere and deep, be-
cause it will rest on foundation Of unembel-
lshed fact Each Fourth of July, however, will
be tinctured by some regret, for it will carry
lingering taste. Of bitterness because of the de-
lberate deception once practced in the name of
the Navy department by an irresponsible fakir.

Vice on the Ebb.

This wicked world is growing steadily better,
that's fiat. No less authority on vice than Dr.
Wilbur Crafts, chief Of the International Reform
bureau, sponsors this statement Back in Wash
ington after trip through twenty-five states
he announces that there are "most encouraging
signs that the vice wave is about to recede."
Among the symptoms of recovery of moral
health he lists agreements among moving pic
ture producers for higher standards, protests OF
dancing teachers against certain steps, and a
movement toward more simplicity and less reck-
less pursuit Of pleasure in high schools.
There may be some questioning whether these
things are fundamental or superficial. Certain it
is that they do not touch personally many out
side the growing generation. They are matters,
however, having much to do with the bending of
the twg that inclines the tree of the future. Can
it be that DR.. Crafts has given up hope for the
older generation and is devoting his whole
thought to snatchng only green brands from the
burning?

Cannon Rule" in Congress.

Fretting under the restraint imposed by the
rules committee, which shut off debate on the
anti-beer bill, Congressman Reavis calls atten-
ton to the restoration Of Cannon rule" in the
house. His complaint that the house rules COM
mittee, which determines the time allowed for
debate, as we'll as the moment for consideration
OF important matters, has assumed the preroga-
tives of car, will receive considerable notice.
About thirty years ago Thomas Bracket
Reed of Maine achieved immortality by counting
a quorum, his ruling being that the democratic
minority, by the subterfuge OF refraining from
voting could not constructivey declare itself abb
sent and so prevent action by the mo quorum"
pretext. Buck Kigore of Texas wrote his
name on the scroll of fame by kicking down one
of the slight doors closed against him, but the
reasonable rule set up by "Czar" Reed is now
the ordinary practice of the house. Under a
succession of speakers, including Crisp Of Geor-
gia, Henderson Of Iowa, Cannon Of Illinois and
Clark of Missouri, the Reed rule has been url-
broken
During the latter days of the speakership of
Cannon, revolt was headed by Norris of Ne
braska, who opposed lodging in the hands of
one man the arbitrary determination of debate.
As a result of the Norris insurgency" the
power was taken from the speaker and lodged in
the rules committee, of which the speaker is a
member. The principle is that somewhere such
power must exist or it will be impossible to
transact business Fundamentally, this power
belongs to the body itself, but, following the
theory of representative government, commit
tee is vested with the right to decide.
The protest made by Mr.. Reavis exposes one
of the weaknesses of popular government, which
is not easily cured, and is not .lessened by the
expedient of transferring the authority from the
whole to smaller group. In the end, however,
the practice works for good, as it provides for
the needed control of the body and permits the
termination of debate that a pending measure
may not indefinitely obstruct the way for others.
Congressman Jefferis will find much sympa-
thy for his stand against the regulation of the
practice Of medicine by statute, as we'll as does
Mr.. Reavis for his objection to the arbitrary
edict Of the rules committee. Yet they will prob
ably be compelled to kiss the rod" just as have
all who, for high moral and ethical reasons, have
objected to the imposition Of prohibition. When
the camel comes along dragging the water
wagon, those who do not wish to be run over
will better get out of the way.

The Comeback Of Alcohol.

For all that, it may have been fortunate
thing that heavy restrictions were not imposed
by congress on the use Of industrial alcohol. Oil
will run short some day, and then, scientists
say, the world will enter the Celulose age. AS
decreasing oil supplies make the price Of gasoline
prohibitive, power alcohol is expected to come
into use, first perhaps to dilute the gasoline, and
then by itself.
Two problems, to manufacture this alcohol
cheaply enough and to make II unsuitable for
drinking are on the way to solution, according
to British chemists who are at work on plan
to utilize rice straw in India for this purpose.
The fuel research board Of the British govern
nent also has been forehanded enough to start
IN investigation Of ito own.
Development Of alcohol as satisfactory sub
stitute for gasoline is bound to be Of high i'm
portance in America, especially in the corn pro-
ducing section. More than ten years ago DR.
Harvey w. Wiley, then chief Of the United
States bureau Of chemistry in the Department
of Agriculture, declared that the waste corn
stslts Of this country could produce enough sleo-
hoi to furnish III the lightFuel and power needed

Ice Service on Sunday.

The Bee is in full sympathy with the ice
wagon drivers who want day off on Sunday.
Six days week of such work as they are called
on to perform is enough for anybody.
The Bee also is in full sympathy with the
householders of Omaha who want ice delivered
on Sunday, especially those who want to buy it
from the "muny" plant. Not all Of these can af-
ford to buy two days supply at one time, and
not many of them have the place to put it, even
if they could buy it. Yet they are entitled to
have supply of ice when they need it.
Recall, if you please, the unfortunate expert
ence Of Mayor Smith in trying to enforce such a
law two years ago. He was compelled by the
considerations of humanity to abandon his posi-
ton. The same considerations ought to con-
troll the present city government.
No very good reason exists why the ice de-
livery business, municipal and private alike, can
not be organized on seven-day basis with only
six-day schedule for the men employed, just
the same as other great industries are organized.
justed their working schedules, and it is possible
that the ice companies can do the same without
any great inconvenience or expense.
To deprive babies OF the ice that is needed to
keep their milk cool and sweet on Sunday is in
humane. Equally is it unnecessary. Let the
city council take common sense view of this
question The men are entitled to consideration,
50 also is the public entitled to service. The
question is one to be adjusted on the basis OF
what is fair for both, and the answer is not diff
cult if the ice companies seek it fairly.

HERITAGE OF WAR.


Commander r. A. Bachmann OF
the United States navy comes out In
q recent number of the Journal of
the American Medical Association in
favor Of the Pennsylvania plan for
controlling venereal disease. Every
great war for the last 400 years has
been followed by great spread OF
yenereal disease. 1t will be re-
called that following the wars of
Charles, syphilis became Europe
wide epidemic. The great nations
engaged in the world war decided
that the soldiers should not be en-
dangered in this way to the degree
that soldiers had suffered in prior
| wars
When the war had come to an end
it was decided that an effort would
be made to prevent the diffusion Of
veEereal disease in the civilian pop
ulation which had characterized all
previous post war periods. There
was a general agreement that the
military program for the control OF
venereal diseases would be carried
over into civil life.
In consequence measures for
moral prophylaxis were fostered.
There were lectures, lantern slides
and moving picture demonstrations,
suppression of red light districts, re-
preston of prostitution and every
thing else helpful along those lines
that could be done. Measures Of
educational prophylaxis were like
wise employed. Education went hand
in hand with religious and moral
precepts.
Hospitals were built for women
whose source of livelihood was SELL
ing their bodies and who were in
fected with venereal disease and in
infective stages. Dispensaries were
established where venereal disease
could be treated free or for fees
within their means. Drugs used for
treatment were furnished free or at
cost. Drugs to prevent blindness
were furnished free. Social service
workers were put at work. Venereal
Something akin to quarantine was
adopted, the private practitioners Of
medicine redoubled their efforts to
find cures, made discoveries, give
better treatment and to completely
cure those under their care.
But though the military program
was adopted everywhere there was
one part of it that no country was
courageous enough to adopt. That
was medical prophylaxis.
The army and navy used it and
the reports are in general agreement
that 1t was effective. Some said
medical prophylaxis would not work
in civilian life. Others said it should
not be employed because it would
incite to immortality. The state
health department of Pennsylvania
adopted it more than a year ago.
Commander Bachmann says It Is
| working out all right.
What they do is to examine all
the prophylaxic packets on the mar
ket to suppress those which are in
effective and to lend their indorse-
ment to those which meet the re-
quirements. The standards are rig
i'd. The product must meet these
standards in the first place and re-
peated examinations are made to
hold it up to the standard with
which it started out. A strong
group in Great Britain advocates the
same policy or even goes farther in
medical prophylaxis. but it has
never been strong enough to make
the government follow it's lead.
