MORAL UNBALANCE TO
CAUSE ENDLESS WARS
Gen. c. Castro, Former Verezulan
President Says Conflicts Are
Inevitable.
By ]. H. FURAY

IL ). Ohhh
(Foreign Editor OF the United Press
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico. June WARS
in an endless chain are inevitable as long
as the present ''moral unbalame" exists
in the world, in the opinion of Gen Clip
riano Castro, dethroned former dictator
Of Venezuela.
In an interview given to the United
Press, the little Napoleon and Simon
Bolivar's land expressed this view and
added further the opinion that the first
shot fired by the strong against the weak
in this country, which carried out a gen.
eral International policy later culmina-
ting in the Great World War, was fired
by the European fleet WHICH blockaded
the Venezuelan coast in 1908
"The world has lost morally in the
same proportion as it has progressed
scientifically, mechanically, physically
and materially" he said. Tranquility
peace and happiness of the worlds peo-
pies are superficial and fictitious and
war will be the medium in which we
must live. All the efforts and sacrifice
of men Of good will. will be sterile.
Il am a living evidence of this truth.
For eight years | maintained struggle
in an effort to lead my country TO great
ness and prosperity under an orderly sys-
TEN and a good administration and all l
got for my trouble was a permanent rev.
olution. At the last moment, when arms
were of no avail against me, the most
infamus treason was appealed to and the
revolution was supported by several for
eign powers.
ut is my opinion that the first shot
fired by the strong against the weak, by
insolence against reason, justice and
right in this country was fired in Venc-
zuela; that the firing was continued at the
end of 1914 and that. as far as We can
judge from press reports, it will continue
indefinitely. We cannot tell when and
where a true. stable peace will be ne
gotiated which will return the world TO
its former tranquility.
But, if we consider the immoral con-
dition of the world today. its paroxysms
and its absorption, it is easy to forecast
that if war comes Immediately, as seems
probable now, when such war ends. there
will be another and another and still
another will be Matching. There will be
an endless chain of wars, inevitable as
long as the present moral unbalance ex-
lists. So long as reason, justice and right
do not prevail on earth, no good can be
DONE"

From $50 o'clock in the morning to
7:30 O'Clock at night is long day, but
that is what Edward G. Roehrig, manager
and engineer of the August Wohlt, the
ferry boat at Rocheport, considers a
days work. All day long, cars, following
the old Daniel Boone Trail, come to the
Rocheport landing to be ferried across
the Missouri River to Overton on their
way to Boonville, and there are just as
many waiting on that side to be ferried
back to Rocheport.
I'VE carry across about seventy cars a
day." said Mr.. Roehrig. He and his
brother, Robert Roehris. of New York,
and his sister, Miss Anna Ryan, of St.
Louis, own the August Wohlf, having
bought her last February from ]. W.
Cox. Before coming to Rocheport, MIR.

Written for the United Press.)
New York, June 7.-At the funeral OF
the late H. P. DAWSON, noted New York
banker, there was no mourning worn
either by friends or by his closest reia-
tives. This was in conformance with
Mr.. Davison's request.
How often these outward signs of
mourning-the heavy black wells and
crepe arm bands-are dispensed with OF
late!
The old custom which established the
period Of deep mourning to two years
time, with dull greys for the two years
thereafter, simply sentenced one to grief
that was not to be forgotten for a
moment. Strangers gazed at one with
an absorbed and curious pity.
The wearing Of deep mourning to
most people is depressing. 1t cannot pay
any real homage to the dead and it GER
tainly does not assist those wearing 1t to
overcome their grief.
TO CAIN ADMIRATION
On the other hand the sentiment OF
mourning apparel is growing to be a
thing Of the past. Too many fashionable
women find it a means Of attracting at
tention and admiration and are utilizing
the widows weeds merely as a come-on
for future conquests. Mourning without
sincere depth Of feeling lacks the dignity
Of grief. 1t is like a badge of crepe
hanging on dance hall door.
The other women-the real women
who find solace in the wearing Of black
after bereavement should never allow
themselves to be persuaded by ancient
customs into wearing il one day longer
than they feel the need of it.
FASHION HINTS
A lovely summer costume displayed in
a Fifth Avenue shop is developed of
white silk crepe romaine. 1t is made
in the long straight lined effect, with
black embroidery about four inches wide
extending from the left shoulder to the
hem Of the skirt. The sleeves are long

asked about his crew.. ''The fireman is

On the last trip across one day recent

steep river bank but stuck midway; SO
once more Miller. and Willis helped to
pick it up and send it on its way. But
this was only one of the seventy or more
cars that are taken across every day.

combines beautifully with white. Nothing
quite suggests the summer spirit as does
this pale green.
The "say it with flowers" slogan has
taken the fashion world by storm and
nearly all the afternoon and evening
frocks are trimmed in handmade flow
ers of self tones. Often the petals are
made of shaded colors in shot taffeta.
The flapper scarfs are now being shown
in colored rubber materials for the bath
ing costumes. They are usually made
of red or green rubber and are fringed
at the ends with white rubber.
The woman who goes away for the
summer months will find that the crinkl-
ed crepe underwear is ideal for that pur.
pose. They laundry easily and require
no ironing. They can be purchased in
nearly all the pastel colors. ~

The ancient poison ring which carried

Most every woman is dieting these days
and since sugar is taboo to them, sac

simple it, is when having afternoon tea
to unscrew the top OF. lovely silver
ring and remove a saccharine pill.

MUSIC FOR AMERICA.
America must have more music.

America must have more music.
A national conference with represen.
,alivcs from twelve large organizations is
being held in New York for the purpose
Of planning a nationwide music cam.
paign. 1t plans literally to 'saturaie the
country with music"
This movement is extraordinary. 1t
is commendable. Too long has the United
States left the art to shift for itself. Too
long has the, public felt that music is
a Iastime, instead of an art. We have
been slow in recognizing the influence Of
music in our daily life.
For centuries the French government
has maintained "L'Opcra," in Paris. one
Of the most wonderful thesiers in the
world. II has been a national pride.
Italy, Spain, and Germany, as nations, pro-
mote the best music and enjoy tin
streets. in homes, in concerts, and in
opcra-houses.
There is no reason why Americans
could not have ears for good music. A
universal taste for music that would tol-
crate only the best will do much to en-.
hance Americas prestige as a nation
with artistic culture.

The growth Of liberalism in Japan, as
outlined by DIR. Sidney Culick, in his
talk before the Columbia Commercial

likely escaped the notice Of the majority
Of American citizens. Big movements
like this, whether political, social, or
cconomic in nature, usually receive lit

they are accompanied by revolution or
disorder. IS
The liberal movement in Japan. al
though mainly Of local significance. is
indirectly matter which may be, expect
ed TO have considerable bearing on
world politics. Internal political move
mcnis, if they progress far enough, have
a definite reaction upon the external pol

Japan is now regarded by manv as
impe. 'alis.ic. This view is not held
without rc-san. However, in this respect
Japln is probably no more subject to
Criticism than many other nations. What
I've. Japan's true foreign policy may
have been, ii must necessarily change as
liberalism bccomes more and more a
powerful factor in japanese politics. Lib

raigned on charges Of plundering and
dismantling the French steamship Squir-
ah in the Black Sea, on the night of
May s, 1920.
The Squirah was on her way from
Batoum TO Trebizond when a gang Of
twenty men who had taken passage
aboard her, held up the crew at the
point Of revolvers, robbed the passen.
gers and ransacked the ship. They dis
mantled the wireless and finally forced
the engineer to steer for shore where
they made good their escape.
1t was 8 o'clock in the evening and
the Squirah was three hours out Of Ba-
toum and in midsea when two men
leaped onto the bridge, revolver in
hand, and held up the navigation officer
and first officer. The latter shouted for
help but when the captain arrived he
found himself face to face with two
other bandits. Simultaneously two more
bandits made for the wireless cabin,
where the operator had locked himself
in. The hold-up men forced the door,
dismantled the wireless and threw the
batteries overheard.
The chief engineer, armed with a rife,
tried to reach the captain for orders but
a volley from the bandits made it evil
dent that it was impossible, while the
noise from the shots spread panic among
the passengers. who ran frantically
about the decks.
Out Of touch with one another. the
ships officers were unable to direct the
course of the boat and the captain was
forced under threat of death to steer
the ship according to the dictates Of
the hold-up men.
While six men held the crew, others
ransacked the cabins. opening everything,
Sitting trunks and handbags with knives.
The plunderers then piled all the loot
into sacks. At midnight, after four
hours ransacking. the holdup men an.
that their task was completed.
The boat was then of Koppa, where,
according to the plans Of the holdup
men. a motor boat was to meet them
and take them ashore. but. there being
no motor boat in sight, the chief Of the
gang ordered the captain to lower the
lie boats and row them ashore with
their booty.
The captain refused to leave his ship,
but the remaining officers were obliged
to carry out the bandits orders. Once
ashore the bandits disappeared in the
