Hoover May Be Chosen to Disarm China

TERBERT HOOVER, now secre-
tary of commerce, may head an
International commission to dis
arm China. China now has the largest
standing army or group of armies in
any nation in the world. The exact
number Of troops is not known even
to the minister of war in Picking, but
it is estimated to be between 100000
and 100000.
These troops are under various "tu-
chums," or provincial military gov
9rnOrs, who either are only nominally
under Picking or else are in open de-
lance of the Chinese government. The
'tuchuns" levy and collect taxes, force
direct contributions from the inhab-
.tants, obtain loans from local bank
ers virtually at the point of gun,
print and circulate paper money of
their own making, graft and squeeze"
and wage wars as Independent war
lords while Picking looks on in utter
helpleSsnesS.
Members of the Chinese delegation
here admit little can be done toward
getting China back on her feet until
these paper tigers" are destroyed.
The most powerful among the 'tu-
chuns" do not hesitate to wiring funds
from the Picking government, when
there is any money to wiring and
openly dictate to the president and his
cabinet.

Bill to Prohibit Blocs in Congress

emily are more dangerous to the coun-
try than combination in restraint of
trade"
IF we are to have an agricultural
bloc why not manufacturers bloc, a
consumers bloc, and numerous geo.
graphical blocs" Mr.. Ansorge asked.
"Then legislation will not follow plat
form pledges, but will be the result Of
dickering and combinations between
various blocs. 1t will be a case Of
you vote for this and We'll vote for
that and l shudder to think what will
happen to our representative form of
democracy"
On the other hand, Senator Capper
said the other day in the senate,
among other things:
"Here, Mr.. President, is the true
reason why we have a group of men
in congress sometimes called the farm
bloc. Our entire business structure
rests upon the land. The farmer not
only feeds us and clothes us, but Is as
class our best customer. Without
him the railroads would languish, the
steel industry perish. Unless the
farmer and the farm industry prosper,
no other industry can. This Is the task
these representatives and senators
from the agricultural states feel they
have cut out for them"

China cannot demobiize the armies
of the "tuchuns" alone, so it has been
advanced in conference circles that
the Pacific powers, including China,
should get together in the matter.
1t is proposed that disarmament
commission be named and that the
sum of $50,O00,O00 be loaned to China
as a rehabilitation fund. Secretary
of Commerce Hoover is mentioned as
chairman of this commission.
Representatives of the commission
would work with the Chinese govern
ment and aid in the work of disarm-
ing the "tuchun" armies. Soldiers
would be demobilized, given back pay
they are in most cases many months
in arrears-and a small bonus and
sent back to their home provinces.
There they would be put to work on
much-needed public works-highways
railroads, canal widening and the like.

NAT lONAL CAPITAL
R (jjql AFFAIRS E HiiBIE
Capital Getting to Be a News Center

when allowance is made for a head,
and 500 newspaper columns-in these
days of eight-cOlumn newspapers
would mean a total of 62H2 pages,
about the size of the Sunday edition
of typical metropolitan newspaper.
No longer ago than 1912 Washington
was sleepy, country village, some
what overgrown and spread over a
considerable territory. Now it is not
only a real city, live and hustling
but capital comparing favorably
with the great capitals of Europe.
Just how the 100000 words are
divided each day among the news
services, correspondents and leased
wires is of interest. The Washington
correspondents total is roughly about
$4,000 words day by wire; the press
associations send another $4,000, for
there are five of these organizations,
carrying 5000 to 10000 words each.
The 80 leased wire services undOubted-
ly send more than 100000 words daily,
making a total of 100000 words tele-
graphed from Washington daily.
Mail service is probably equally
heavy, and writer's for magazines and
other periodicals who do not deal in
live news probably carry some 100000
words daily.

Romance of the Red Cross Building

TN APRIL, 1861, when President Lin
coin issued his call for 5000 vol
unteers, two young men, Francis
Barlow and James, A. Scrymser, en-
listed in the engineer corps of the
Twelfth New York At Antietam Ser
geant Barlow was badly wounded, and
his wife, member Of the sanitary
commission, of which the American
Red Cross is a lineal descendant, went
to the battle front that she might be
at his side to nurse him. At Gettys-
burg Sergeant Barlow again was
wounded, and this time was left be-
hind Confederate lines. At daybreak
one morning, in spite Of watchful SEN
tries, she succeeded In reaching her
wounded husband and In remaining
| with him until he recovered. A third
time the soldier was wounded and
once more, this time in a Washington
hospital, Mrs. Barlow nursed him back
to life.
This brave and faithful woman died
IN 1864, victim of typhus contracted
IN her untiring labors among the sick
and wounded fighting men. TO the
heart-broken husband she typifed the
| splendid spirit of American women in
war time, and shortly before his
death, in 1896, Major General Barlow
predicted, in the presence Of his COM

both the North and the South a splen-
did tribute.
In 1911 Captain Scrymser secured
for the project the Endorsement Of the
New York commandery of the Mill
tary Order of the Loyal Legion. 1t
was his suggestion also that the pro.
posed building be made the home OF
the American Red Cross. Congress ap.
propriated 100000 for the purpose
and the fund of $4,000 necessary
was completed by the following dona.

100000; Mrs. Russell Sage, $15O,OO0
Mrs Il. II. Hartman, $4,000; the

INVENTOR OF VANE UNKNOWN
But Devices for Showing the Direction
of the Wind Have Been in
Use for Centuries.

The origin of the weather vane Is
unknown. One Of the most ancient of
which there is any record is that
mentioned by Vitruvus, and the ruins
of the Tower of the Winds, of which
he speaks, still stands in Athens. This
building was erected about century
before the Christian era. He writes:
Those who have paid most atten-
ton to the winds make them eight In
number, and particularly Andronicus
Cyrrhestes, who built at Athens an
octagonal tower of marble and cut on
each face the figure of the several
winds, each looking to the quarter
from which that wind blows.
"On the tower he placed marble
column, on which was a Triton OF
bronze holding a rod In his right hand.
And he contrived it that the figure
moved round with the wind so that
1t constantly stood opposite it, and the
rod, which was above the figure,
showed in what direction the wind
blew"
Efiigies Of many creatures have done
duty as vanes. Man himself has not
escaped. The female form divine even
has not been spared this indignity
Such a sentiment as is expressed In
the sentence, "Woman tickle as the
wind" may have been in the mind
Of Theodosius the Great when he
erected at Constantinople, in the
Fourth century, the vane called the
Lady of the Winds"

child stay up so late She Dug t to
be in bed this minute, even if it is
Saturday night Or else she ought to
be here to listen TO her own bad little
cousin trying to put his terrible re-
sponsibility on her shoulders"
One item of her description of him
self the badgered Herbert could not
bear in silence, although he had just
declared that since the. truth was so
ill-respected among his prosecutors he
would open his mouth no more until
the next day. He passed over bad

inches and fractions of inches.
Aunt Fanny shook her head in
mourning. THAT may be, Herbert"
she said gently, But you must try to
realize it can't bring poor young Mr..
Dill back to his family"
Again Herbert just looked at her
He had no Indifference more profound
than that upon which her strained
conception of the relation between
cause and effect seemed to touch and,
from his point of view, to be missing
should be the lightest of calamites.
1t is true that he was concerned with
the restoration of Noble Dill to the
rest of the Dllls so far as such an
event might affect his own incOmpara-
BILE misfortunes-bu not otherwise
He regarded Noble and Mobiles disap-
pearance merely as unfair damage to
himself. He continued to look at this
sorrowing great-aunt of his, and his
thoughts made his strange gaze ap-
pear to her so hardened that she shook
| her head and looked away.

with him, and kept talking to him un-

I'm sure he never did" Herbert
mother agreed. gently. Not even a
kitten. l do. wonder where lie is

But Aunt Fanny uttered little cry
of protest. I'm afraid we may hear,
she said, ''any moment"

little; they had unanimously set their
expectation in so Economically pessi-
mistic a groove. But if the truth of
his whereabouts could have been
made known to them, as they sat thus
together at what was developing vir-
tually into his wake, with Herbert as
compulsory participant, they would
have turned the session into riot of
amazement. Noble was in the very
last place (they would have said,
when calmer) where anybody in the
world could have madly dreamed of
looking for him! They would have
been right about it. No one could
have expected to find Noble tonight
inside the old, four-square brick house
of Mr.. H. /. Atwater, Senior, chief of
the Atwaters and father of the dis
turbing Julia. This was an old man of
rigidly limited sympathes; and his
| opinion of Noble Dill had become al
most notorious; here was no bosom of
refuge for Torn Noble needing SOL
ace, nor was his house for any moment
hospitable with Julia out of it, More
over Mr.. II. |. Atwater Senior, was
not at present in the house; he had
closed and locked it yesterday, giving
the servants weeks vacation and
telling them not to return till he sent
for them; and had then gone out of
town to look over a hominy mill he
thought of buying. And yet, as the
wake went on, there was light in the
house, and under that light sat Noble
Dill.

Xv1ASHINGTON.-The capital is
w the greatest center for dis
semination of news in the world,
according to recent investigations,
which indicate that not less than 5OO,-
900 words are sent out daily by wire,
radio and mail from the offices of
Washington correspondents. The
amount of publicity material sent out
by the various associations having
headquarters here has not been esti-
mated, but it is nothing short of stu
pendous.
What 100000 words daily means may
be visualized, perhaps, by reducing
that figure to newspaper pages.
Roughly, there are about 1000 words

/ went to Higg the halter, to buy
a Sunday lid; he bored me with his
chatter, as merchants seldom did.
He talked about the weather, about
the crop Of rye, and roundly asked
me whether voted wet or dry. He
talked about the kaiser who now in
exile dwells, and thought he'd have
been wiser to cut out wedding bells.
He talked about the graces Of fe-
males he could name, and spoke
about the races which are Tia
juana's game. ! said, "0h, Higg the
halter, you send a pain through me,
for your remarks are flatter than
any spiel should be. I've walked
through weary valleys, down roads
where autos skid, through dusty
streets and alley, to buy myself a

up the woodland aisle, and through
the reeking byway, to get myself a
