CHINA'S WALL IS CRUM ING
Wonderful Structure, Built 200 3. c.,
Believed, However, to Be Good
for Many Centuries.

Recent visitors to the great wall of
China, which is accessible at Nankow,
forty miles from Picking, describe it as
slowly crumbllng Many of the tur-
rets which command It's salient points
as the wall climbs over the mountain
tops are in ruins and tourists and ma
tlves alike wrench the stone blocks
from the superstructure to throw into
the valleys below. Yet 1t is maintained
that the great structure, extending
from Shanhalkuan on the sea almost
to the borders of Tibet, has many cen
turtles to live, although no efforts are
made to preserve 1t.
Construction of the wall was be-
gun 200 B. C. by Emperor Chin Huang-
II, a contemporary of Hannibal, who
conceived this barrier to keep out the
Tartars At one time 100000 Grim
inals and prisoners Of war were en-
gagged In the work. The main part of
the wall, however, was not undertaken
until the Seventh century, when, it Is
said, 100000 workers were employed.

Woodrow Wilson is vindicated By
Japan's withdrawal from Shantung
At Paris, in 1919, Shantung, includ
ing the garrison of Kiaochow, that hao
been seized by Germany as indemnity
| for damages in the Boxer rebellion OF
1898, was awarded by the Treaty OF
Versailles to Japan.
The award was accompanied with the
understanding and assurance that
Japan would, at the proper time, retire
from China, and return Shantung to
the Chinese.
When Mr.. Wilson becaB,c a party to
this agreement, walls of wrath were
emptied upon his head. Phrases like
rthe crime of Shantung" were banded
about by the unthinking, and yawped
repeatedly in the senate by Lodge and
his partisans. Wilson had sold out
China to Japan-that was the cry.
TO all this the President made the
simple answer that "he had faith in
Japan and in Japan's promise that
the Mikado's government would at the
proper time, restore Shantung to the
sovereignty of China.

CAMERA TO RECORD WINNER
Method of Timing Race Is Declared
to. Be Beyond All Possibility
of Error.

The moying-picture camera Is to be
put to a new use 1t Is to time exactly
the runners In race.
When two competitors come In very
close together 1t is extremely difficult
for the umpire to say which was first,
and often two men are so near that
the result is declared q dead-heat.
In all cases probably one of the men
is a fraction In front of the other but
the eve is unable to note such minute
differences.
Now a clock is to be erected at the
winning post, and as the winners come
In they will be photographed with a
kinema-camera which will time their
arrival to the hundredth part of sec
ond. If the winner breaks the tape
only one eighth of an inch in front
of his nearest competitor the camera
will note the fact
The camera will be focused sinful
taneously on the clock at the winning
post and on a mirror rejecting the
start of the race. Both clock and
camera will be set working before the
starter fires his pistol, and the flash
of the pistol will be reflected in the
mirror and recorded on the film with
the time of the clock to a hundredth
Of second.
This time can then be subtracted
from the time Of the finish, and the
exact time of the race for each man
arrived at.
There will now be very few dead

THURSDAY, DECEMBER Z, 1922.

A recent cabinet meeting was given
over almost wholly to the discussion of
prohibition and the enforcement of the
Volstead law, and, according to the
press reports, President Harding is
very much perturbed over the failure
of prohibition enforcement and the
menace to all law enforcement involv-
ed in what is properly termed the
countrys biggest fasco-the admins
tration of the national prohibition en-
fOrcement machinery.
The administration recognized that
prohibition enforcement is a failure
and is gravely concerned, seeing no
remedy for the situation except in the
creation of public sentiment for the
strict enforcement of the law. The diff
fculties in the way of this are two
fold:
First. The prohibition enforcement
machinery is honeycombed with graft
and dishonesty, as the administration
admits
Second. The prohibition law does
not command public respect, and any
law which is not an expression of pub
lie sentiment is dead letter. This
applies even to constitutional amend
ments. We are already burdened with
two dead-lctter amendments (the
XVIII and XVIII, with every prospect
that the XVIIIth will soon be in the
same category unless the enforcement
act is rewritten to bring it into har-
mony with public sentiment.
Senator Reed of Pennsylvania mot
the wet Reed of Missouri) said some
frank and sensible things on this sub
iect the other day, and we quote few
of his remarks:
"We are facing a very serious situa-
ton in this country with regard to pro
hibition. We are in what might be de
scribed as a twilight zone, with many
OF our Dthl ptDplV IollpNlhB " P"''''
of hypocrisy by openly violating the
prohibition laws while at the same time
demanding that other laws be rgidly
enforced What the prohibition
laws have done is to UNNECESSARILY de
precate the quality of the drink
Enforcement is deplorably bad because
you and do not back up the law. AS
matter of fact it isn't enforced
against you and me. 1t is only enforc-
ed against a few unfortunateS who can
not escape it, We are all hypocrites
on this question and conditions have
reached a serious stage"
We maintain that a law which Isl
only enforced against "a few unfor-
tunates" and is making this country al
nation of hypocrtes and law violators
il bad law, and that no possible bene
fits arising from its existence can atone
for the evil it is doing to national char
acter and morals.
