BARTHoU'S EMBARRAssMENTS

A LTHOUGH the Genoa conference has
n proceeded TO other matters. Louis
Barthou, of the French delegation. con.
tinues to dwell profusely upon the subject
of military disarmament which provoked the
brush with George Chichern. NJ. Barthou
is plainly grieved at the imputations Of
French militarism and is intent upon justi-
flying the recalcitrancy Of his Government.
Much of his defense is in way con-
vincing. NJ. BarthOu contends with truth
that France lost the war of 1870 and for
forty four years did nothing to trouble the
peace Of the world. Then without provoca-
tion she was attacked and lost a million
and half of her best youth If France
actually had the intention some people credit
her with. then France would be mad In
these statements the sense Of facts is we'll
preserved.
But the outside critics OF whom VI. Bar.
thou complains have not denied any of these
assertions. They understand. and this Is
particularly true of the majority Of Ameri-
cans, that France has suffered cruelty and
that the temper Of her people is utterly op.
posed to further tragic conflict.
1t IS the attitude of her present Govern
ment which is the sole basis OF concern.
Perhaps at heart NJ. Barthou realizes this,
for he has intimated that the disarmament
question cannot be reopencd unless special
instructions are Forthcoming from the Poin-
care Ministry.
There is the rub. VI. Barthou is evidently
struggling hard to b. loyal TO his political
super!ors. Among these. Premier Poincare
is undoubtedly the most trying. He is the
type of extremist who hedges covertly, as he
has already done with Lloyd George, when
pressure arises.
NJ. Barthou is obviously waiting for an
other exhibition of these tactics. His posi-
tion is not enviable. 1t is especially typical
of the uncomfortable roles which partisan
politics SO often force sincere statesmen to
play.

PROTECTING TREES AND BIRDS

This annual impetus 10 rcforestation found

result in restoring the forests to their origi-
nal condition No one expects that to
happen, for when the State was first set
tied by white men it was all forest save n
few meadows and some rough mountain tops.
There were more than 5000, 900 acres Of
trees. Only 10000 acres Of the original
forest remain. There are about u 900 600
acres. however, Of forest area which has

acres can be brought into q state Of pro-

CONGRESS IS NOT A PHYSICIAN

.nR. DEAVER'S objections TO the inter-
. ~ ference by the Vostead act with the
5 physician's discretion in prescribing uco-
holic stimulants are similar TO the objec-
|. ,tions raised to the provisions in the lIarri-
:, son Narcotic Act.
DR.. Edward Huntington Williams, special
lecturer on criminoogy and mental hygiene
!. at the State University of California. has
: lately been saying that the Harrison act is
e fundamentally defective from medical
!. afAndpOint. 1t treats drug addiction as a
criminal act rather than as symptom of
: disease. DR.. Williams insists that this
= view Is as mistaken as the old view about
y insanity. We know now that insanity is
disease and that there are criminal insane
and insane who would not think of commit
ting crime. \ distinction IS made in the
method Of treatment Of the two classes and
recognition OF, the fact that insanity is a
disease has led to the discovery of ways TO
cure certain forms Of it.
SO DR.. Williams insists that the Mar
cotics Act should take cogui2ancc OF the
!. pathological condition which leads to drug
addiction, and which makes it almost i'm
I. possible for the addict to cure himself with
out aid.
DIR. Deaver has not said that alcoholism
r,ie q disease, but he does insist that the
physician should be allowed TO Use his own
= judgment in the prescription of alcohol to
!, such patients as need it. He objects Just as
sstrenuousy as DIR. Williams to having Com
. gress set itself up as an expert and to say
= what physicians may and may not prescribe
and what physical conditions should he
treated by physicians and what by the
courts.

Mr.. Gaffney is plainly shocked at the

The interest aroused in forestry by the

the preservation of this and other bits of

1t has already brought about the purchase by
the state of large areas Of forest land which,

considerable income.

GREAT SCARCITY OF
 BASEBALL MATERIAL
Untried Minor Leaguer Brings
 Big Amount of Money.
Sam Crawford Comments on Present Playing of Major Leagues Thinks War Had Something
 to Do With Situation.

Sam Crawford was discussing the present playing standard of the major leagues few days ago.
 You would think" said Sam, that among 130,OOO,OOO people you would be able to find 800 good ball players, wouldn't you? That would be one in every 100000 inhabitants.
 But, they evidently don't find them. And 1t Is funny when you consider how much money a boy can make by playing ball well. It isn't that they are unable physically because a man does not have to be a perfect speci- men to become a great ball player.
 Maybe the war had something to do with it. Not alone the fact that during the war the boys who were de- veloping could not continue doing so, but because of the different aspect on things the war. gave them. Many boys who went into training camps, just about ready to break into organ lzed base ball, came back with no fur ther desire to follow the game.
 "The tip-off on the scarcity of base ball material can be found in the prices that are being paid today for players. Why. they pay more for an untried
