ART TREASURES NOT INSURED
For One Reason, No Amount of Money
Could Replace Those in Brit
ish Storehouses.

The great national storehouses of
art treasures are not insured. writes a
correspondent of the London Daily
Mail. No compensation would be
Forthcoming in case of fire or theft.
The reason is that the premiums on
the millions of pounds worth of pie
lures in the National gallery, antiquf-
ties in the British museum, and exhib-
it's in the Victoria and Albert muse
UNI, for instance, would amount to a
very large sum.
IF art galleries and museums in
sured they would have to pay out far
larger sums than they receive in lad
mittance charges" said an official OF
the National Portrait gallery. "The
latest apparatus for preventing and
detecting fire is employed, and night
watchmen are present"
An official of the British museum
said: "We have very thorough sys-
TENS of patrolling, and special fremen
of our town, who formerly served in
the London fire brigade"

DAMAGES for Grief.

Measuring human emotions in dol
lars and cents is the newest problem
confronting French juries as a result
of a decision of the Paris courts OF
appeals, promising to revolutionfze
French procedure in damage cases.
Hitherto, for example, in the case of
a person killed in an accident the
survivor was allotted damages only
upon the basis of actual material loss,
such as the depreciation of the family
income, but heaceforward juries will
be asked to grant 4 supplemental al
lowance covering grief and physical
wear and tear.

multitude of ways, some good, some bad, some in
different-necessarily so in country so big, with
so vast a meltingpot population.
We Americans have an attractive list of holt
days. Christmas, New Years and Easter we share
with all mankind. Thanksgiving Day, Mothers
Day and Arbor Day are our own. SO are Washing
tons Birthday and Lincolns Birthday and Flag
Day Memorial Day is the day the nation grieves
over its soldier dead and pays tribute to its fight
ing heroes at their last resting place.
The Fourth Of July should be different from all
our other national holidays. It should have some
thing of Washington and Lincoln's Birthdays in it,
much Of Thanksgiving Day and more of Flag
Day
The Fourth of July should be most of all. as
many good Americans see it, day of nation
worship, unstinted and unashamed.
The Government of the United States of Ameri-
ca secured its existence through war. Every gen
Grafton of Americans has had its war; AS one
generation Of fighting heroes passes away another
rises to take it's place. Some have gone, others
are going all will go. None should be forgotten
for their deeds are the basis of the tradition
around which our nationasm is built. The heri-
tage of the next generation has been made possible
by their heroism.
There are those Americans who profess to see
in the American nation peace-loving people, slow
to wrath and averse to war. 1t is true that we
slow to take up arms This is because Will
us is q war; not of professional army, but of the
people. Our people go slow to war because they
wild not fight unless the provocation is great and
the cause is just.
But those who believe America is not a fighting
nation are utterly and entirely wrong. We are
not afraid to fight. We know how to fight. As
matter of exact fact we are the most Warilke
people on earth When America goes to war the
national heart goes with her soldiers. We are
the most desperate in battle.

France Firm on Russian Policy.

Paris.-Premier Poincare, in hia note to the British government, in re
 ply to the recent British memorandum, does not recede an inch from the DO. sition taken in his memorandum of June l, with respect to The Hague conference. He insists that if the powers come to an agreement in ad. vance and present a united front to the Russians at The Hague and not permit them to stray from the point they can and will accept all required of them. As proof of this, M. POln- care instances what they have done for Italy in the treaty just concluded.

Cincinnati, OhiO.-Unqualified con demnation of the ship subsidy bill was voted unanimously by the delegates at the American Federation of Labor con- vention almost simultaneously with President Harding's dispatch of a let ter asking Congress to pass the meas ure, under threat of an extra session. The convention also voted to send a protest against passage of the bill to the Senate and House leaders.
 The bill was termed by the resolu- tion adopted by the convention as a "cunningly devised scheme to enrich certain classes of sO-called American ship owners at the expense of the tru- ly American taxpayer, and also to pro vide patronage which is certain to be used for purely political purposes"
 The resolution concluded with the statement that the bill was "con- demned as inimical to the public in- terest, and particularly destructive to the nations hope for sea power
