How American Relief
Administration is Managed

New York, June 22.-How a band
of $50 Americans is able to direct
the feeding of hearly 100000

The organization is similar to the
army supply system. Headquarters
are in Moscow, which corresponds
geographically to Chicago. Ten di-

Argentine Horse Lovers
Mourn Death of Botafoso

Buenos Aires, June 23.-Argen-
tine lovers of horse flesh are mourn
ing the death of Botafogo more, per-
haps, than would Americans if Man
O'-War or Norwich were to die, for
Botafogo really was one of the most
remarkable thoroughbreds in the his
tory of the turf.
He won 18 out of 10 starts by
many lengths" and then in special
match race defeated his only con-
queror, Gray Fox, by leading him at
the end of 5000 meters. The match
race was the result of active public
demand and many thousands were
wagered on the result, so intent was
the populace upon seeing it's favorite
restored
The race was thriller. Botafopo
first took the lead and then relin-
quished it, the two steeds exchanging
places with the turn of almost every
furlong post. Cheers of the crowd
changed abruptly to maddening
groaning and back to cheering as the
race progressed.
on the home stretch Botafogo was
given his head and leaping into a
hurricane sprint he finished so far
ahead OF Gray Fox that some spec
tators ran between the two.

Expedition to Mt. Everest

London, June 23-Sir Francis
!Younghusband, president of the Roy
al Geographical Society, is authori-
ty for the statement that the expedi-
tiOn which was to attempt the con.
quest of Mount Everest had left Dar-
jeliing at the end March and had
arrived at the mountain in good
health. So far as the confieurat;on
of the mountain was concerned there
remained no serious obstacles to on
pose the climbers.
"But there still remains" he added,
"the incalculable factor that may
prove fatal to success-the dabili-
tating effect of high attitudes on the
human constitution.
"We have sent out the hardest,
pluckiest and most experienced moun-
taineers we canAfnd. But can they,
with all their courage and determin-
alton, skill and resource, successfully
contend against the paralysing las
|situdes which the ratification of the
sir beyond $4,000 feet is certain to
produce.

Sugar Industry in
Philippine Islands

Manila, P. l., June 23.-Eficiency
of the sugar centrals in the Philip
pine Islands is approaching the Ha-
waiian standard, according to rec
ords in the Offices of the Philippine
Sugar Centrals agency on the six
centrals controlled by the Philippine
National bank on the Island of Ne.
gros.
E. w. Kopke, supervising chemis;
of the agency who has returned tc
Manila from a four months stay In
Negros, where the banks centrals
are located said:
"The average number of tons OF
cane per ton of sugar at the banks
centrals is 8.53, compared with the
average of 8.61 for Hawaii in 1921
The average factory efficiency fo,
five of these centrals for the seasox
is 91.8. This is very favorable
record when all the conditions are
considered. Our milling results are
somewhat below those in Hawaii, but
the boiling-house recovery compares
favorably with results in Hawaii
The degree of exhaustion of final
molasses is 38.5 for Hawaii and oul
mills are on a par with this record.
"There is less ash in Philippine
cane juices and sugar than there is
in those of Hawaii, which gives our
sugar better refining characteristics
Hawaiian cane averages 1s percent
more fiber per ton of cane than our
cane, but all our centdals have been
able to get along without additional
fuel
"The planters are cooperating with
us heartily in every way which is
especially important in it's bearing on
future production and increased pro-
duction per acre under cultivation
twenty-five experimental fields are
now under the supervision of the
bureau of science where problems of
fertilizing, etc, are being solved"

Million More Soldier i'm
Europe Than in 1913

Washington, June 23 (By the AS
sociated Press).-Germany laid be-
fore the Genoa Conference figures
showing that there are today under
arms in Europe nearly million
more soldiers than there were on the
verge of the World war in 1913. Ac-
cordipg to the German statement
which has just reached Washington
there are now in Europe a grand
total of 4,736,OOO men under arms
compared with 3,726,641 in the yea,
1918.
While the mighty German army OF
100000 men of 1913 shrunk to the
100000 soldiers allowed by the Yer.
sailles Treaty, the French army which
in that year numbered 8S3 900, this
year stands at $4,000. Greece's
army has increased from 100000 to
100000 and Belgium's from 54,641 to
l13,4O0, the statement shows. Rus.
sia's vast army, which in 1918 mum.
bered 1,845,OOO now is rated at 1,6OO,-
600 men. England shows a slight in
crease from 248,OO0 to 277 1000, while
Italy reduced her forces from 275,-
900 to 264,OOO.
New armies appear in the German
statement. Poland, for instance, an
unknown power in 1918, is now ap-
pearing with an army of 100000
men. Then there is Esthonia with
$4,000, Finland with $4,000, Lettonia
with $4,000, Lithuania with $4,000
and Czecho-Slova with 25O,OOO
all unknown military forces before
the World war.
Finally it was show to the Genoa
Conference that while in the year
1913 the German army comprised
20 percent of the total armies of Eu
rope compared with 23 1-5 percent for
France, at present the German per-
centage is but 2 against 18 1-2 per-
cent for France

Traces Exposition Ddawing
Crowds of Americans

Marseilles, June 23.-France's col
onial exposition is proving a great
attraction to visitors, especially to
Americans. The party Of prominent
American bankers which recently
came to Marseilles was particularly
interested in the great exhibit from
French Indo- China, the near neighbor
to the Philippines and territory SO
rich and extensive that it plays a
great part in Pacific problems.
French Indo-C China has q popula-
tion of 17,00O,0O0 as against 7,6OO,-
600 in the Philippines, and its. area
is about 259,O00 square miles, or
144,OO0 square mics more than the
Philippines. French Indo- China is
$1,000 square miles larger than ali
the Japanese Islands and has only
one-fourth the population.
The chief building of the French
Indo- China exhibit is a reproduction
of the fantastic Temple of Angkor, in
Cambodia. This mammoth temple
with it's fine fretted towers and mag
nificent approaches protected. by, ami
mails, is the most striking feature of
the exposition. In fact it is doubtful
whether any exposition ever offeffred
more impressive and unique build
ing. The temple stands in a secluded
spot, with much open space about
it. It is reproduced in concrete and
plaster made in excellent imitation
of marble. Pagodas in tn esame style
of architecture flank the main en-
trance and are surrounded by lagoons.
No detail of a Buddhist temple has
been omitted in developing the ex-
terror.
Withing are exhibits of Indo-
Chinese products. Cotton, rice, rub
ber, coal, hemp, timber, wool and va
rious other raw materials yielded by
Tonking, Cambodia, Cochint China
and AMMAN are shown, together with
paintings, photographs and cinema
pictures illustrating the scenery and
varied industries.

Districts adjacent to the Volga
Valley, the heart of the famine re-
gion, receive the greatest attention
From Kazan, the seat of the govern
ment of the Tartar Republic, south
to Astrakhan at the mouth of the
river on the Caspian sea, every rail
head on the Volga is manned by Am
erncan units. Here 60 men supervise
the feeding of more than 100000
people.
In the Ukraine and the Crimea. the
five strategic points of Kiev, Khar.
TOW, Odessa, Ekaterinoslav and Theo.
dosia are the bases of supplies from
which II Americans direct child-feed
ing and food remittance deliveries.
Refugee kitchens and stations for
food remittance are operating at
Vltebsk, Minsk, and Gomel, provid-
ing for the district west of Moscow
to the Polish border. Beyond the
famine zone on the upper Volga,
Americans are in charge of transfer
warehouses at two points, and also
at two intermediate points between
Moscow and Volga. Corn is shipped
directly through these centers for
transhipment to famine centers.
Thus every thickly populated cen
ter of Russia is covered. Moscow
and Petrograd have independent SUI
pervision of child-feeding and food
remittance. In each about $4,000
children are fed.

FoRrEscUE's rRouBLEs.

Possibly it might be urged by John Fortsecue, the English aQther, whe had been scheduled to address the cadets at West Point, that he had . right te his own opinions and a right to express them. On. that score there can be no objection except that his opinions were entirely Unjgstiied, and for that req son and because of the attitude he took in expressing them there will be ap- proval given to the action ef Secretary Weeks of the war department in can- ceiling the invitation to speak to the cadets.
 It is rather an embarrassing situa- tion in which it leaves the English visi- tor to this country, but the fault is all his own. When he as a historian, in writing book as late as 1911, claim ed Americans esteem 8 good bargain even ifs gained by dishonorable means to mark the highest form of ability or HFhe Limited States cannot engage ir any form of competition with us, from athletics to diplomacy, without using foul blay,' or 'yrhey must via, if nei by fair skill, then by prearraAged trick, cry or violence; if not by open nego tiatiens, then by garsled maps anJ forged documents it is quite evident that this government could not telerats such an indiFiapal being asked te speal 1 te the cadets at West Point.
 Confronted with those Hhe took ex csptien to his claims, and by exRer; eBces of his own which entirely changed his views, it appears that he regard his statements as a mistake and con fesses it, but it nevertheless display the willingness to use as a historian warped and unjustified judgment.

NATIONAL oANcER WEEK.

This has been designated by the American Society for the Control of Cancer as National Cancer week. for the purpose of continuing the eduea- tiOnal effort that was mAQgurated last year and impressing upon the people the importance of rendering that inEaluabie service for themselves which no one else can do. Cancer is disease about which too little is known. Progress .is being made in the study of ft, although not as rapidly as the world might de- sire. Cancer is dread and Hysteri. gus disease, but it is one that ought not to be hid It Is not a disease that im- plies any disgrace and the efforts of the examination that is enaea NoFing to eR- tighten the people regarding it are de: voted ro emphasizing the fact that the cases of those afflicted with cancer are not always hopeless provided the yrou- ble is disclosed in time to do something.
 When it is realized that in the de- cade previous to 1920 there were 1,28o,- 900 persons in this country who died of cancer, and that during the past year there were so,aa0 des4hs Hem the die case in the United States because treat psnt was begun teo late, it can be ap- preciated what the importance is of giy- ing attentian to the first symptoms The endeavor is not to frighten people-inte helieving that they have the disease, but it is a fact in connection with cancer that conditions surrounding the early stages of the disease are net such as tc cause person to suffer, and yet it ]. through the failure to deal with 1t ir those early stages that it gets to thu point where little help is possible.
 Thus it becomes evident that hidinI the troHble is the worst thing that could he done. Taken in the early stage. there is in a great many cases certai1 cure. Thus the ability to fight the dis ease rests to a large degree on the pa tient needing an early warning.

THE WET snIr SITUATION.

A new turn in the complications that surround tie vessels of this country be- canse of prohibition and the necessary enforcement of the law is furnished by the withdrawal of two 2o,Oeo ton ves- sels from American registry and the placing of the ships under the flag of the republic of Panama.
 These two American ships are en- gagged in the tourist trade, and because of the interpretation of the law which held that American ships could not car ry or sell liquor there was an \immedi- ate cancellation of reservations. It meant a serious blew to the owners of the vessels because they could not ca ter to their patrons and they couldn't see where they were going to get suf- ficient number of dry passengers to take the accommodations that had been va eated.
 The ruling regarding the dry ques- tion on the high seas hasn't as yet been passed upon by the supreme court There is no reason to believe, however that Attorney General Daugherty has pret the law. It was an Interpretation of the law that he gave without under taking to satisfy either the wet or tht dry element. Given the law he had nt other course than to be guided by t Thus it is not Daugherty's fault that Ii quor- cannot be sold ea American ship: any more than it is his act that estah lished prohibition in the country. Ht has simply undertaken to say what thu established law means, being cognizap of his duty and the importance of lay enforcement.
 But just what effect this withdrawa of registry is going to have upon Amer iean shipping remains to be seen. It i another manifestation of the exposition to the existing dry law, and it is possi ble to regard it as move made ia be half of modification at time whel more attention is certain to be directer to our merchant marine and when ther have been manifestations at the poll both for and against the present en 1 forcement act.
