". R. Hearst. in an interview given in London to the London Evening Standard. advocates "a cooperative agreement between all white peoples"
 He also suggests. which of course. strikes the English as most un- reasonable. that any white race agreement or any arrangement should be headed and largely controlled by the United States. inasmuch as th.s is the biggest and most powerful country in the world.
 Hearst Is about the first well known American to tell the English that he considers his own country more important than England. And it is only fair to say that such talk Is what the English admire. They are glad to use American Anglomaniacs, but they despise them.
 Old craters that have long been asleep on the island of Hawaii have suddenly come to life. Streams of lava have poured down. What hap
 
 happens in Italy and other places. Hell seems to be breaking loose in- side of the earth as we'll as on the surface. Blessed peace seems a long way from this planet.
 Bad conditions in Ireland, where the north and south are drifting HA rlA 4a nd xriNI ars civil war. In such civil war there Is little doubt that the English ln- flusnce and power would be with the north of Ireland. You read already { about various "salients' being cap tured in 6 struggle which Is in real ity . religious struggle A great ca lamity that war of that kind sur- wives into the Twentieth century.
 Interesting person Is Stamboulisitv, premier and actual ruler of Bulgaria. He says Bulgaria will pay her debts but will compel those that brought on the war to pay the debts. That includes proffteers and others. We do not do that here.
 This same eccentric peasant ruler says he intends to make the king president: and he will give votes to women. but only to women that work for . living.

 Another cut In railroad wages is coming; 1t will save $50 1000, ,ooo year more for owners of railroad stocks and bonds. This time the railway shopmen will stand the cut. If rail- road management knew how to in- crease efficiency as 1t knows how to cut wages, how efficient it would bel
 Yesterday morning in England they hanged Major Armstrong for poison ing his wife. Armstrong Is the first English lawyer executed for mur- der. Whether he was the first guilty of murder Is not known. Their knowl- edge of wills already made or of wills ordered might provide lawyers with temptation to murder. On the other hand. their knowledge of law might be sufficient warning.
 In proportion to their numbers among the so-called "educated class" doctors are most frequently tried for murder. Of three electrocutions wit messed by this writer, two were elsc- trocutions of doctors.
 Senator Capper has a new bill to prevent futures trading" which means gambling in foodstuffs.
 There is an old French law that punishes with Imprisonment at hard labor. anybody that conspires to raise the. price of grain. There mizbt be something In that law that eur supreme court would not declare unconstitutional.
 This news ought to interest the President. and every American. Sem ator Bertrandas went up 5000 feet and fired five bombs at little imi- t1tlou oniy ao lcet lOnS and 25 feet wide. Of the five bombs, three struck the target and ex- ploded.
 All five would have hit a full sized battleship. And one single bomb dropping into the water within a few feet of the ship. would de- stroy any battleship afloat.
 Whats the use of putting s4o,o0o.- 900 into a single battleship. when a 5000 flying machine might destroy half a dozen such ships?
 And what insanity it Is with war all over the world, not to develop to the utmost the two new fighting weapons. airplanes and submarines.
 Germany will get big loan and then, says she will meet her repara- tion debt. It is a little hard to un- x derstand, lending money that you may get your debt paid.
