Ev tho A>sor,ated Press.


LIMA. | err,, November 23.-The tidal
waves which recently devasted parts

surfs following the tidal waves of

QUEBEC. December oS.-Author-
tiles seeking the cause of the fire
which yesterday destroyed the mil
lion dollar Notre Dame Church today
arism to another.
Orhcials of the fire department
learned that last Thursday there was
Il bad leak in a gas main outside the
church. The fumes became so dense
that employees in a store nearby We're
sent home.
The latest theory is that gas might
have seeped into the basilica and
been ignited by altar candles.
Authorities OF the Roman Catholic
Church announced that they had de-
cided to rebuild the basilica in ac-
drawn by NJ. De Lery, a French archi-
tect. in l1l4. The new building. how
ever. Will be fireproof.
Regret Is Expressed.
The series of fires which have swept
Catholic institutions in Canada re-
Gently. eliminating early yesterday
in destruction of the Notre Dame
Church. was brought to the atten-
ton of the provincial legislature with
ST
work of incendiaries.
Taking the floor after Premier
TasChereau had expressed to Cardinal
Begin the regrets of the legislature
at the loss of the famous basilica.
Arthur Suave. leader of the opposi-
ton. said:
would it not be well to question
whether this fire is not the work of
d criminal organization? That is in
the air. and | call the attention of the
attorney general to the fact that
within year We have had to deplrre
losses of that kind every month.
Threat in Letter.
A short circuit in the electrical wiz

cial police the following letter, post
marked in Montreal

Suspicious strangers also were re-
ported to have been seen prowling
around the church The police then
began an investigation based on the
belief that the fire had been set.
That Catholic orders had come to
view the series of fires with suspicion
was made evident recently Wnen an
uouncement was made that blood
hounds and armed guards would be
employed to protect church property
and that aged manuscripts and relics
would be placed in cement vaults.

HEARST'S White LEAGUE

William Randolph Hearst, pub
Usher of the Hearst newspapers, has
arrived in England. In prepared
statement in the London Evening
Standard Mr.. Hearst proposed a
white league of nations, asserting
that the race question was the
worlds great compelling problem of
today. Recalling President Wilson's
defeat on the league of nations issue,
Mr.. Hearst forecast a Republican
disaster on the four-power Pacific al
lance.
If there were "white" league of
nations of what nations would it be
composed? The "colored" popula-
lions of the British empire outnum-
Der the white peoples. And the same
is true Of France. Not counting the
colored populations now being held
by force in the island possessions of
the United States, the majority of
the people in the continental U. S.
have more or less Negro blood in
their veins. They often yell about
being "white" but the black blood is
there just the same.

The Antilynchin Bill.

The recent lynching of three Ne

lynching bill. During the last three
decades there have been 3,4OO muir
ders by mobs in the United States,
most of which were in the South. Ali
of the deliberate, horrible burnings at
the stake were there, and for the most
part were UNPUBLISHED; for local au-
thorities will not prosecute or make
an empty show of prosecution. Pres
ident Harding well called it ma
tional disgrace which ought to be
ended; but there is little reason to
hope that it will be unless the fed
eral government takes the matter in
hand. The South is bitter and .prac-
tlcally unanimous in it's opposition to
federal interference and haunts. the
old banner of states rights while
shrieking it's protests against the pro-
posed law. But fouting the doctrine
OF states rights the South was chiefly
instrumental in forcing national pro-
h!bition on the country; and it seems
high time that the cotton states
should have draught of their own
medicine forced down their threats.

1T PAYS TO KICK

The American Legion city commit
tee of Wilmington, Del, objected Sc
riously to the plan of the general
committee to having the Norman D
Scott Post to march in a separate
division Of colored people instead of
with the regular division assigned to
the American Legion on Memorial
Day. The Legionaires insisted that
the Scott Post be in line with the
other three posts, and intimated that
it would withdraw from the parade
unless the discriminatory ban would
be lifted.
The manly stand of the American
Legion bore good fruit. Col. Do
herty FASTENED to explain that at nc
time had the committee planned to
separate the posts of the American
Legion.
It pays to kick sometimes.
