Declares Governors
Hearing on Telephone
Rates Is Unprecedented

GREENVILLE, S. c., March ga
That a hearing on an act of the
legislature before the governor is,
so far as he knows, unprecedented
in South Carolina history, was the
statement made by John A. Russell,
president of the Greenville Chamber
of Commerce, in a letter which he
addressed Wednesday, to Governor
Cooper in regard to the telephone
situation.
The hearing is set for April 4th,
at the governors office, to discuss
the recent act of the legislature re-
ducing the telephone rates to the
basis of charges before the war, in
1917. Mr.. Russell said in his letter
that he does not believe it is prac-
teal or wise for the chamber of
commerce to be represented at this
hearing for the reason that this leg
islation, enacted by both houses Of
the legislature, reflected the senti-
ment of the people, he thinks.
1--WE believe that the proper place
for hearings of this kind would be
either before the proper commission
or in the courts of the state" Presi-
dent Russell concluded.

WEEKS HAS REPORT
ON ROMA DISASTER

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Sec-
rotary Weeks had before him to-
night for examination the report
Of the special army board headed
by Lieutenant Colonel Arthur G.
Fisher, appointed to investigate the
wrecking of the army semi-dirigible
Roma, at Hampton, Va, recently,
with the loss of many lives. Pend
ing his study of the document, the
secretary declined to make public
the boards findings, but said he
expected to give out the report on
Thursday.
No definite decision has been
reached by the war department as
yet on the question of whether the
Roma is to be replaced in the army
air service. Mr.. Weeks said this
decision was\ not necessarily de-
pendent in any way upon the find
ings Of the board which investi-
gated the disaster but would be
reached after a careful study Of the
probably military value Of dirigible
airships.
For his own part, the war secre-
tary is inclined to believe that such
aircraft have not sufficient value to
warrant a project for replacement
Of the Roma.
One possible use for ships Of the
Roma type that has occurred to
war department officials is that they
might act in war time as airplane
carriers to take airplaneS to a dis
tant zone of action without passing
over the territory of any other pow
er en- route.
1t was pointed out Wednesday
that the flying Of airplanes or bal
looms over Mexican or Canadian ter
ritory in times of peace has met
with objection and that in time of
war, if it became necessary to in
crease the number Of airplanes in
the Panama canal zone any at
tempt to fly them down to the zone
would be met by similar protests
that neutrality was being violated.
Some officials believe it possible
that in such an emergency lighter
than air dirigible like the Roma
could be employed to carry planes
quickly and entirely by a sea route
to the scene Of their intended oper-
atoms.
The war department has not as
yet laid any plans for experiments
along this line and Mr.. Weeks in
Dictated Wednesday that the ques-
ton would be left to the board
which ultimately will weigh every
phase of the military possibilities of
lighter than-air flying craft.

A DYING NATION
RV DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright, 1921 by Frank Crans)


Unconsciously and usually we measure all ques-
tons by the span of life But in the case of nations
they should be measured by centuries.
The most important question for nation is not
the present generation much the next and the next
In other words, the success of nation is deter
mined by its fecundity.
The triumphant race at last will be the outpopu-
lating race.
The long war is to be fought by blood and stock
and breed not by dreadnoughts or money.
1t is this fact that alarms France.
And these are the figures in the case:
In 1913 France had population Of 39,6Ol,OOO
According to the of 1921, she had only 36OS4
O00 The diminution, therefore, was 8.8 per cent
Even adding in the population gained in Alsace-Lor-
raine, the decrease is 5.5 per cent.
These figures are taken from French newspaper
and not from hostile sources 1t is the French them
selves that are alarmed.
Over against this we know that from 1913 to 1921
the population of England increased az per cent? that
of Prussia (the only part Of new Germany that has
been recently counted increased 26 per cent that Of
Switzerland 34 per cent that Of Sweden 81 per cent?
that of the United States 149 per cent and that Of
Japan 1876 per cent
In addition to this, the numerical equivalents be-
tween the sexes ordinarily maintained by mysterious
law of nature have been broken by the war; and France
today has three million more women than men. The.
war has brought the masculine population Of France
down to what it was in 1863 In three years the
try has lost more than ordinarily in half century.
1t is not only war that depOpuates France.
tuberculosis removes 100000 people every year
The drinking places attract the workman, as they
are more inviting than his unhealthy hOme where air
and light are lacking.
Nature and destiny have their grim and silent
arguments against alcohol.
One hundred thousand newborn infants die before
they are one year DID, of whom 25 900 perish because
their mothers have to work too hard during pregnancy
and are delivered prematurely; 10000 others because
the mothers were not able willing to nOurish them;
and almost all the rest because their mothers igno
rant of the art of caring for children.
The momentum of civilization constantly tends to
urbanze and indusrialze the population. The result
of which is to lower the standard of life.
One favorable aspect Of the question, however, is
that the young people are taking more interest in
sports, developing their physical forces and re-
sistance.
What France needs is a vigorous campaign Of
hygiene and physical culture, and there are many
Frenchmen who are preaching this. No amount Of
courage and brIiancy of spirit compensate the in
evitable law of physical vitality.
France means something to all the world. In
sense it is at the forefront of civilization She should
not only realize her position and put forth every effort
to improve it. but she should receive in this endeavor
the hearty cooperation Of every other nation.
