Combination Affords Dainty Party
Frocks for the Little Girls TWO
to Six.

An exceptionally dainty party dress
for a little girl Of two to six years
was fashioned Of the fine cream colored
net. There was a straight yoke, real
ly merely two rather wide bands of
the net, embroidered and held on the
shoulders with bows Of ribbon, and q
straight skirt Of net with embroidered
band at it's edge was gathered on to
this yoke. The underslip Of taffeta
matched the ribbon bows on the
shoulders.
Another little girl ready for n party
was frocked in pale pink taffeta with
overdress Of white ~georgette. The taft
feta foundation is banded in three rows
Of transparent silver braid or silver
ribbon, and the little o~verdress, cut In
scallops all around the bottom, is
edged with a. narrow double ruffle Of
self fabric, the same finish being ap-
piled to the sleeves. Tiny knots Of
French flowers add the final trimming
touch. This dress opens a few inches
in the back, so it may be slipped over
the head, a little knot of flowers being
caught at the fastening.
Most of these little party frocks are
designed to be worn over lacy under
garments instead OF with boomers, the
boomers being usually featured only
with the more practical garments.
Some party dresses Of white or colored
%organdie have matching boomers, but
when the frock Is of a silk material IL
is not usually so equipped.
Very sheer net and fine soft lace
were combined to fashion a charming
party dress for the tiny girls older

There is something to be learned
from the recent Swing around the
circle" by the President Of France
through Morocco. 1t includes visits to
MOhammedan holy places near which,
a few years ago, Christian inidels"
were not permitted. Smiles of well
come net this French party where
formerly all Europeans received scowls
or worse. 1t seems that the history
of Algeria is being repeated and that
French economic penetration is prov
ing Il success in this anomalous
try, whose Arabic name means the
extreme West" but which has har-
bored more t~enaciOusly than Egypt or
Mesopotamia the flavor Of the East.
Until Il decade ago Morocco scorned
western civilization and had succeeded
in keeping itself at least a millennium
and a half behind the times. Moslem
fanaticism ran riot. Jews and Chris
tlans were treated with a mixture Of
contempt, suspicion and hostility. Be
cause, as q result Of pressure by the
European powers, Christians were per-
mitted TO Own land in Tangier, Moroc-
ans referred to it as a dog town.
and one Moslem map-maker insisted
on leaving it off the map Of Morocco.
Relatively few Europeans lived in the
country outside of Tangier and a few
other coast cities; and in some Of
the towns considered holy, it was as
much as n non-Moslem foreigners life
was worth to appear.
The Morocco Of today is something
of a mixture governSlentally. The
oretlcally it is all under the control of
the sultan Of Morocco. AS a matter
of fact, however, the country is di'
vided into three p%arts-still noiiinally
under the sultan. Along the Mediter-
ranean and extending inland for 80 to
100 miles Is the narrow zone recOg-
nized to be under Spanish influence. A
caliph appointed by the sultan is sup
posed to be in control Of this zone, as
sisted by Spanish officials. The city OF
Tangier, on the northwestern point of
Africa, and a small surrounding
district, constitute a special zone
in which an international commission
assists Moroccan officials. The main

Lenine's Aaian L.eaaue

The Moscow government is using
the situation in the Near East to
secure the political recognition so
far denied it. kenal owes Lenine
and Trotzky something. They made
treaty Of alliance with him when
ho was weak and friendless. They
gave him kind words in profusion,
although there is little evidence that
they gave him much in the way Of
military supplies. Genuine political
cooperation between the Soviets and
Angora was obstructed by the fact
that the Turks never had any idea of
being communized or sovietized.
Now Kemal demands that Russia,
Persia and Bulgaria shall be allowed
to sit in the Near East peace con-
ference. This is good policy on his
part, because these three countries
would probably support him against
the Allies on any question of de-
tending or enlarging Turkish SOW
eneignty. Russia is directly and
vitally affected by any arrangements
made for guaranteeing the freedom
of the Straits. Her welfare re-
quires Black Sea outlet. The neu-
tralization of the Straits under the
League Of Nations would secure her
such an outlet. But Lenine is play
ing politics with this issue to the ex-
tent of advertising his preference
that the Straits should remain under
Turkish control.
Berlin also announces prepara-
tions for Russo-Asiatic entente to
make headway against the big and
little European ententes. This is to
include Russia, Persia, Afghanistan
and perhaps some Of the small Cau-
casian and Caspian states. The
scheme is ambitious but hollow
Russian interests are in conflict with
Persian, for Persia has but recently
succeeded in expelling the Russians
from northern Persia. The Islamic
peoples of Asia might be drawn by
religious kinship into a pan-Tura-
nian league. But they can have only
superficial political attachment to
Russia, which in their eyes is moi.
only Christian but is also devoted to
communicate propaganda entirely OBJ
noxious to Moslem faith and prac-
tice.
This Russo-Asiatic entente is only
another threat intended to startle
the European powers with Asiatic,
and particularly Moslem, holdings.
1t is an additional Russian bid for
an invitation to sit as an equal in the
approaching conference Of Near
Eastern powers.

The Library's Need

The Mayors decision that appro-
priations for the Public Library for
other than personal services should
be granted implies that the library's
budget is nevertheless to be cut. So
far as the decision means that no at.
tempt will be made to limit the ap-
preparations for the purchase of new
books it is excellent. But, unfortu-
nately, the needs Of the Public Lii
brary do not end with the demand
for books. There must be sufficient
personnel to carry out the routine OF
the establishment. To curtail ap-
preparations for personal services is
to hamper this work.
AS matter Of fact, the library
appropriation for the year 1923 is
small when compared to the appro
priations Of other cities. This is in
keeping with New York's policy Of
neglecting the libraries. But it con-
stitutes a betrayal Of great civic
trust. Nowhere more than in this
city, with its enormous foreign pop
ulation seeking education and knowl
edge, do the public Libraries offer
promise Of useful service. And
yet it is only too true that owing
to the niggardly policy pursued in
the past there is the greatest short
age Of books just in those districts
where the demand is most constant.
The number of persons using the
Libraries has increased even more
rapidly than the population, and yet
the facilities have been restricted in
the name of economy.
Nearly all budget cuts are opposed
by interested persons often welding
great political power. In the case OF
the library, however, there are no
politicians to champion it's cause.
Books and votes have little in COM
mon. Must the book reading public
for this reason be starved?

His polemical vigor and his skill in

His polemical vigor and his skill in
exploiting the back country vote
soon made him powerful influence
in the state. He dictated many
nominations. Finally, in 1920, hc
and Governor Hardwick took the
party organization away from the
conservative Democrats. Watson
was one Of the original rsvolters
against the old aristocratic control
in Southern politics. He was con-
temporaneous with Tillman and an
tedated Vardaman. He was as dem
agogic in his methods rs either Of
them. But they were radicals for
political purposes only. Watson
was an intensive radical-one who
enjoyed ruction, perversityand con-
flict for their own sake,
He also stood far above all the
other Farmers Alliance leaders in
mental equipment. His "Story Of
France" "Life Of Napoleon" "Life
of Thomas Jefferson" and "Life and
Times Of Andrew jackson" have
genuine literary value. Watson
the historian, though prejudiced,
was man Of close and balanced
mind---a strange antithesis to Wat
son. the savage pamphleteer and
politician. 1t is this soberer part Of
his life work--his contribution to
letters - which most deserves re-

The Prohteer of Doom

The World War brought world
wide calamity to this generation. 1t
slew its millions. 1t impoverished
nations and individuals. 1t smote
everywhere the just and the unjust.
But there might be some balm to
that innocent suffering which is be-
yond computation if fate had so ar
ranged things that those most re-
sponsible for the bitter visitation Of
l9l4-1S had paid beyond all others
because of that responsibility.
What we call poetic justice would
have had it that way. But often
lronic Justice is substituted for
poetic. 1t is so in the case Of the
FORMER German Kaiser. No man
oears as heavy q blood guilt as he.
But has he made anything like pro-
portionate reparation? 1t cannot be
maintained that he has. He has es-
capped the burden of the war debt
put upon the most insignificant of
ms former subjects. Now in the
literary field he has become one of
the greatest of war profteers.
IN a treaty which even GERMANY
signed William Hohenzollern was
arraigned for "a supreme offense
against international morality and
the sanctity of treaties" He was to
De tried for his many criminal acts
as Germany's war lord. He has not
been tried. He lives in luxur;ous
exile IN Holland. Perhaps the rich
est German in the Germany which
"iiied the war, he distracted his
wealth. from the homeland long be-
tore the mark had taken it's later
piunges. He has salvaged his own
fortune and left Ebert to paw the
costs of German debts.
! Sheltered in person and property
a successful fugitive from iustice
and evader of taxes, it is one Of
the most melancholy perversions OF
| equity that he should now be draw
ing one Of the biggest royalties ever
paid to 'best seller'--and on q
dollar basis, at that. Lloyd George
is going to give the proceeds of his
memoirs to charity. William is 60
ing to hold on to every penny he can
earn. Not mill of it is likely to come
back to the United States or Great
Britain or France in the shape of
German debt remittances to these
three countries.
The way of the transgressor is
hard, according to the highest au-
thority. But the ex-Kaiser has dis
covered a means to make transgres-
sion pay royal dividends. II is a
disheartening spectacle that those
who have suffered most from his
"saprenae offense' cannot even have

the poor privilege Of attacking his
literary revenues to help pay dame
ages due to his unpunished crimes.
A Reactionary Regatta

That the Gloucester fisherman
Mayfower has been definitely ruled
out Of the coming international fish
ermen's races is disappointing Not
only is one Of the most promising
contestants thus barred, but it is
made apparent that tho intention of
the trophy donors is to limit the
races to the particular type of heavy
fishing vessel best suited to the Nova
Scotia salt-fish trade. No one will
question the right Of the trustees to
do SO, but it will be generally re-
GREETED that this distinction was not
made clear at the start, and that the
effect Of it is to narrow the contest
instead of enlarging it.
The Americans will, Of course, ac-
cept the decision; but If their ances-
tors who developed the fast fishing
schooners and clipper ships Of the
days of the early glory of Americas
marine could rise from their graves
and express their opinions on the
present. contest their remarks would
probably be pointed. Although they
did not have international races for
trophy cups in the old days, their
ships raced to the Banks and back
and American vessels sought to ex-
eel the ships Of the world in speed.
This was done by constant develop
ment, by the use Of new designs and
new devices. 1t was not done by en-
deavoring to limit the cut or style of
their opponents boats. They knew
that by the acceptance Of what was
good in the new they could outstrip
those who clung tenaciously to the
old.
Had the carly men of Gloucester
and Essex followed Nova Scotian
principles their ships would have
had scant fame.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY James J. Montague

Science
We always have reverenced
science
And the work it has done for
mankind;
We place unrestricted reliance
On the deep philosophical mind.
We know that their vision is
wider
Than ours, and more lucidly
clear,
Yet it seems to low-brow out
slider
That their ways are little bit
queer.
We never have lost any slum-
ber-
Though our interest in science
is warm
In wondering what is the number
Of bees in the average swarm.
Yet scientists have them all
counted,
And we just have heard one of
them state
That the accurate figures
announced
TO f1fty-nine thousand and
eight.
This statement has caused US to
ponder
If the brains of these erudite
men
Are not prone, on occasion, to
wander
AS other folks are now and
then.
For ourselves we should think
that a person
Had some serious mental dis
ease,
Or possibly even a worse 'un,
Who would stand around
counting up bees!
We cannot account for the yearn-
ing
That would make a man so in
discreet
AS to run the grave risk of dis
corning
The number Of bees in a fleet.
We take profound satisfaction
In science and all it has done.
But If we saw these creatures in
action
We'd forget about science, and

Thomas E.. Watson

Thomas e. Watson was a man of
violent impulses and prejudices, and
he carried these relentlessly into
politics. Public life to him was an
arena in which to vent his intellec-
tual animosities. He had a great
variety of pet hatreds--Grover
Cleveland, Wall Street, the gold
standard and the Massachusetts
school of historians in the old days
and, later, the Catholic Church, the
Jews, the war, conscription, Wood
row Wilson, the League of Nations
and the four-power Pacific treaty.
All these aversions he pursued with
sort of mental fury even to the
point of finding his publications ex-
cluded from the mails and being
himself indicted and tried for vro-
iation of the Federal statutes.
AS Senator Mr.. Watson was n
newcomer in Washington. He won
a seat in the upper house of Con-
gress in 1920 on platform of bitter
hostility to the Wilson Administra-
ton and all its works. But he had
sat IN the lower house thirty years
before. He was elected as a Farm
ers Alliance Democrat in 1890
but soon swung away from
party regularity and cast his
fortunes with the new Southern
Populist organization. AS Popu-
list candidate for Representative he
was counted out, as he claimed. in
1892 and 1894.
In 1895 he ran as a vice-presi-
Dental candidate on the comnosite
Bryan ticket, Arthur sewaIl of
Maine, being the Democratic nomI-
nee. He received 27 electoral votes
to Mr.. Sewall's 149. In 1904 he
was the Populist candidate for
President.
For long period he was pro
scribed by the Democratic party IN
Georgia. But when the white mi
mary system was established he was
enabled to re-enter state politics

the New England ports, as the West

New York and Philadelphia had early
found the way to the spicy and silky
coasts Of the Orient. Calcutta, in 1889,
saw the American flag on vessel be-

we were in direct competition with
British ships-a competition that was
decidedly not friendly. The days Of
impressmert were still too fresh in the
minds Of American seamen.
