DR|F TING ASUNDER.
Spanish Alliance and Report.
ed Turkish Pact of Latter
Rouse Suspicious.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.

BY Special Cable to The Star and Chicago
Daily News Copyright. 1928
PARIS. December 13.-The political
situation in southern Europe recently
has become highly confused.
As what happens In one part OF
Europe necessarily affects the equilib-
rum of all other parts, every Euro
pean country is concerned and the
outcome. is practically impossible to
foresee. Divers threads in the new
tangle may be described as follows:
Terms of Alliance.
Spain and Italy have concluded an
understanding of some kind, the
terms of which are not fully known
The Spanish press points out that the
understanding certainly is not direct
ed against France. but the Italian
press takes a different tone.
The Secolo of Milan. while giving
assurance that the intent of Spain and
Italy IS wholly peaceful, points out
that in case of conflict France now
would be obliged to divide her forces
between the Italian and Spanish from
tiers. and that the combination or
Italian and Spanish navies and naval
bases, stretching directly across the
western Mediterranean, can cut
Frances communications with It's
North African colonies and hence pre-
vent France from utilizing its re-
serves of North African troops.
Feeling in France.
The French themselves seem to en-
tertain no doubt that the Italo-Span-
ish understanding is directed against
themselves, and while they are not
alarmed, they are certainly obliged
to take it into consideration.
Rumors are current of the nego-
tiatiOn Of some sort OF an understand
ing between Italy, Albania. Bulgaria
and Turkey, which in the circum-
stances could be directed against the
litsle entente and France. 1t Is i'm
probable that these negotiations have
known that mysterious conversations
between Italy and Turkey were held
recently in Rome.
For these and other reasons. Fran
co-Italian relations have taken de-
cided turn for the worse.
support Refused.
Premier Mussolini supported France
in the reparationS commission last
January and France supported him in
the Corfu affair. but then Mussolini
refused to support France in the re-
cent allied dispute over German dis
armament and France refused the
Italian request TO participate in the
TangierS negotiations.
The Italian press speaks aggress-
ively of Italian interest in the French
colony of Tunis ana Italians make no
secret OF their deS!! to see this ter
ritory transferred 70 Italy. There
has even been some irresponsible ir-
ridenttst talk south Of the Alps re-
garding the French provinces of Nice
and Savoy, while it is apparent that
the Italian intention of gradually an
neXing Fiume outright also is cauS-
ing France concern. because of
Frances interest in Jugoslavia.

ARCTIC TEST PROVES
LIGHT HURTS RADIO
Mystery Of Screened" Signals
From Macmillan Believed
Now Solved.

NEW YORK, December 13.-Ex-
periments have proved that either
daylight tends to dissipate radio
waves or causes the earth's crust
'or some other underlined natural
phenomena" to absorb them. the
Aerial League of America announced
last night.
The experiments were conducted
by the league with the aid OF the
American Radio Relay League in a
worldwide "check-up" last Monday.
The prime object was to discover the
phenomena which prevented during
the five weeks of Arctic daylight
communication with the Bowdoin,

BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. December 13-More
than 500 members of the New York
Southern Society, former southerners
now living in New York. were
brought to their feet in an outburst
of enthusiasm last night. when Mar
tin w. Littleton, democrat. as toast
master at the society's annual dinner,
referred to President Coolidge's
speech as the utterance of a man
who said: J. stand here"
What can we say of that great
man from New England who sue

incident is closed
II am not making this speech in

making it in favor of an American
President" continued Mr.. Littleton.
II have said this because as an
American citizen | thought ! ought

Mr.. Littleton's tribute to the Presi-
dent came after the dinner. The pre-
vious speakers had been United States
Senator X. ID. Mcclellan of Tennessee
and Irwin 5. Cobb.

Boy, II, Suicide
When Chur1a, IL,
Hanged Himself

LINZ, Austria, December "a
Child suicide, which has been COM
mon in central Europe. since the
war, had a tragic illustration here
recently. A boy seventeen years
old hanged himself, and the next
day at the same spot his fourteen
year-old brother took his life in
the same manner. The younger
boy left a note saying he could
not live without his playmate
This self-destruction among
children is ascribed to neurotfc
precocity resulting from condi-
tions under which they passed in
fancy in war times.

One hundred years after a group of wise and brave
men meeting in independence Hall created for the
American boy the glorious holiday. the Fourth of
July, we celebrated the birth of this nation in a great
centennial exposition in Philadelphia. The good peo-
pie of this city of b~rotherly love now propose with
commendabie patriotic enthusiasm that the nation
build and hold another great American exposition in
that same city in 1926 to record the progress, and
glory in the triumphs, of this nation in its century
and a half of matchless life.
It's a fine idea. We need reminders. We have
too few holidays to remind us of the lofty ideals of
the builders of this nation. And the too few we
have are accepted as merely a release from labor.
They lead too few of us to the patriotic shrine. In
our individual quest for gain we too often lose sight
of the common aim which is the common gain. In
our search for individual wealth we too often forget
the COMMONWEALTH. That was a great word
in l776. 1t is a word Stunned as socialistic by the
avaricious today.
We nsed reminders that we may not lose out of
America that which is America. We have been a
generous and h%ospitable people. We have opened our
doors and welcomed the European malcontent-he
who was prosecuted by foreign crowns. We have
made welcome the covetous who came to get from us
but not to give. We have made welcome the foreign
minded who had no idea of becoming American
minded, who took advantage of our hospitality and
came to do use rather than to do with US.
We need reminders lest we forget and forgetting,
go astray.
Condemnation of the government is not left to the

REDS" alone. Nor is it solely the socialists obses-
sion. Both major parties play checkers on the
board OF government in Congress. They maneuver
for party advantage forgetting to plead for principle
divorced from party consideration.
The farmer finds fault with the government. The
1aborer finds fault with the government. We find
fault with ourselves. We are the government.
The immigrant talks in the fatherland tongue, reads
the fatherland press, thinks in fatherland loyalty and
hopes to return with American money to live on faith
erland soil. Irving Bachelor recently reminded us
that the big outstanding fact about America was that
ito save from the domination of men whose god
was in their bellies our fathers made bloody foot
prints in the snow"
We need reminders, lest we ourselves kill the very
thing that was born on the Fourth of July in '76.
How much we need it is eloquently told in a recent
issue of Life" a humorous magazine which treats
this serious subject in a close to serious way when it
editorially asks: who Killed the Last American? 7"
and answers thus:

SCOUTS USE ADJ

1t has not taken active Boy Scouts
of The country long to take advantage
OF the modern radio craze and to har-
ness this great force and to make it
work for them. The National Council
Office of the Boy Scouts of America
have been sending programs every
week over some OF the largest broad
casting stations in New York City.
Chief Scout Executive James E. West
cast the opening bomb in the Anniver-
sary Roundup, which is the national
movement to obtain half a million
Scouts by February, and reports have
come back of his actual voice being
picked up" in fifteen states. One
report was from Chicago and one from
Pasadena. Besides this, his message
was relayed' from forty of the largest
broadcasting stations of the country.
Other programs are going out, which
consist of camp fire songs and stories
and entertainment stunts, and power
full talks by prominent business and
professional men, on the value of
Scouting. National Commissioner
Daniel Carter Beard, the great old
Scout of America, has delivered sto-
ries from his fascinating book on ami
mails, and also speeches on the sub
iect of Scouting. Deputy Chief Scout
Executive DIR. Geo. j. Fisher delivered
from WOR, Newark, N. J., the Scout
Christmas message on December 26th.
Many other Scout communities are
making regular use of their nearest
radio broadcasting stations. Every
week the Scouts of Buffalo shoot
over the air. their official radiograms.
Weekly messages go out from a Phila-
delphia station by a Scoutmaster who
calls himself O-I-DAR ~(reverse this),
and who is scoutmaster of the radio
troop, the troop consisting of all of
the Scouts who regularly listen in.
Schenectady, N. Y, is to give. a full
two-hour evening Scout Program. The
Boy Scout Band of Davenport is
broadcasting over their station, as did
the Scout Band of Paterson, N. j.,
over a Newark, N. j., station.
Scouts make three main uses of ra-
dio. First, entertainment, programs
mentioned above; (2) Performance of
their good turns and acts of kindness,
by bringing music and concerts and
good cheer to shut-ins through the in
s~tallation of radio apparatus; (3) Sci
entific and electrical achievements in
making and ~improvising their own
apparatus.

n nee we saw a play called The
~ Servant in the House. The
servant was a crude but indisputable
sufferer who was honest and who
brought home to the other charac-
tiers the spirit of the Redeemer.
Once he said to one Of the other
men: did you ever ear of ELF"
and the other man said "Yes."
Then go there" retorted the mar
of mystery. And thus the skilled
writer put over a thought that if
he had been honest he would have
been forced to suppress. 1t would
never have done in this best of lit
erature, to allow a mar to tell an
other man to go to hell. Shocking7
