Forestry Service Has Had Occasion
to Acknowledge Their Aid as
of High Importance.

The United States forestry service,
not content with such modern fire
spying and reporting equipment as
airplanes and radio, has been expert
menting with carrier pigeons. Re-
Gently, in an Idaho forest, a carrier
pigeon was taken by packhorse over
mountains, kept at it's destination
overnight and released the next day.
1t was subsequently, found that it took
the pigeon exactly thirty minutes to
cover the eighteen miles to its home
coop. In another recent test the
pigeon was sent to headquarters with II
message asking for fire-fghting as
sistance. Soon after, however. it was
found that the fire was under control.
Word was sent by second bird thar
the requested assistance would not
be required, and it reached the cen

WOMAN'S "TALK TANK" SMALL
Explanation Offered as to Why the
GentIer Sex Is Acknowledged
the More Vouble.

Why do women talk more than men?
DR.. A. A. Brill, professor of psy-
chology at New York university and
well known psychoanalyst, told the
National Association of Teachers of
Speech why, at their convention at
the university.
'There is no question that women
are more voluble than men," said
Doctor Brill, and strange to say, none
of the women delegates rose to argue
with him. MANY discussions and ex-
plantations have been offered"
Doctor Brill offered one by Doctor
Jesperson, the eminent philologist. It
was couched very scientifically, but
the meat of it is that woman's vocab-
ulary is smaller and more centralized
than mans, but always on tap. She
can get at it very quickly, and does
so frequently. Now, mans lingual
abilities are scattered. He cannot
always get at it in time to have a
comeback ready for the wife.

ORANGE is determined to carry on
her adventure in the Ruhr to a
definite conclusion, and is equally de-
termined that the conclusion shall be
the submission of Germany. General
Degoutte, commanding the Ruhr,
Rhineland and Saar, made quite clear
his governments intentions the other
day when talking to correspondents at
Dusseldorf. He said new, sanctions
will be imposed almost Immediately in
retaliation for Berlin's order to post
office, railway, and other state en-
ployees and officials to resist the
French army. And if Instructions con-
tinue there will be further seizures.
''The future of Germany lies in her
own hands," General Degoutte said at
the conclusion of the interview. "If
she SurrenderS now, Germany may
have back the Ruhr when the French
have collected what they came for.
Further defiance may prolong indefi-
nitely the French occupation
Before the week had ended the
French had closed the last avenue for
the shipment Of coal from the Ruhr to
unoccupied Germany, and had seized
the Ruhr customs, replacing with their
own men such German officials as re-
fused to work under them. Defections
from the German customs personnel
were reported by the French to be 40
per cent and by the Germans to be
70 per cent. A considerable number
of German officials in both the Ruhr
deported. Thousands of mine workers
were imported from France, Poland,
and other countries, but the strike of
railway men nearly tied up traffic and
brought about great shortage of coal
cars. Coal production had fallen to
about 30 per cent of normal, but even
so the accumulations at the pit heads
could not be moved and the French
authorities admitted the mines might
have to be shut down before many
days. FoOdstuffs in the occupied region
are becoming alarmingly scarce but
the French probably will organize mo-
tor trains if they cannot get the rail
ways IN operation. 1Hey are SelZIHS
all the German automobiles they can
find. and also have seized the stocks of
mineral water, petroleum, benzol,
spirits, and tobacco in the large mer-
chandise warehouses. The Introduction
against coal shipments may soon be
extended to steel, iron and other
manufactured products.
At the time of writing, the French
policy has settled down to a program
of holding on to the district, keeping
its coal away from the rest of Germany
and waiting for the German industrial
magnates to grow tired and to force
their government to submit to the al
lied demands that the terms of the
treaty be fulfilled.

G ENATOR BORAH renewed his pro-
~ posal for an international confer
ence on world economics, and told his
colleagues he thought the administra-
tion was drifting aimlessly although
another European war threatens. The
senator, more than usually pessimistic,
asserts the French invasion of the Ruhr
is likely to result in triple alliance
of Germany, Russia and Turkey; that
this combination could bring on an
other general European conflict, and
that the United States would be drawn
into the row inevitably. He suggests
the United States can call the confer
ence and participate in its delibera
tions and leave to the European pow
ers the responsibility of carrying out
it's agreements, as was done in the
case of the Algeciras conference in
1906. Thus he replies to the objec-
tions of the irreconcilables as voiced
by Senator Johnson of California.

D ATHER surprisingly, Great Britain
N already has accepted the Ameri-
can terms for the funding of the war
debt, and it is now up to congress to
pass the measure modifying the present
law and giving the American commits
sion broader powers. The leaders in
congress believe this can be done at
this session. The proposed settlement
is on the basis of 3 per cent for the
first ten years, 37a per cent thereafter,
and maturity Of the loan in 81 years.
There is provision for one-half of
per cent sinking fund whereby the
principal will be reduced annually.
The amount due the first year would
be $158, ,297,197
The terms propose to give England a
slightly lower rate Of interest than

ment to holders of Liberty bonds,
which difference must be paid by
American taxpayers. Senator Nickel

EARLY in the week it looked as if
IL Great Britain and France had at
last reached the parting of the ways
because of developments in the Near
East conference at Lausanne. Lord
Curzon had the treaty ready for sub
mission to the Turks and announced
that the British delegation would de-
part as soon as it was handed to them,
virtually serving them with an ulti-
matum to sign at once or fight. The
French promptly informed the Turks
that they would not leave Lausanne
as long as there was a chance to
reach an amicable agreement, and it
was said Italy took the same stand.
When Wednesday came the treaty
draft was presented to Ismet and his
colleagues and Curzon energetically
defended it as just and generous
settlement which would afford op-
her national life without external in
tervention or internal servitude." He
then consented to stay in Lausanne
until Sunday night The allied dele
cations and the American observers
appeared united in the opinion that
decision one way or the other could
not be delayed much longer, though
Ismet had asked for several weeks.
If the difficulties are ironed out and
basis of accord is reached as seems
likely ar this writing, much of the
credit will be due to Ambassador Child,
who has been exceedingly active in
harmoniZing the conflicting views of
the allies and in persuading the Turks
to modify their demands and conclude
a speedy peace for the sake of their
national interests. The treaty as
drafted requires Turkey to abandon
her claims to the districts detached
and now under mandate of other pow
ers and also to Egypt and the Sudan.
The Martha river is fixed as the
boundary in Thrace, Turkey getting
Adrianople and Greece getting Ka-
ragatsch. The dispute over the Mosul
district is referred to the League of
Nations.

blockade economically.

IBANEZ IN PRAISE OF PANAMA CANAL
Famous Author Says It Is Most Wonderful Example
 Of Engineering

BALBOA, Canal Zone, Nov. a. The Panama canal is the most won derful example of engineering l have ever seen, and typical of the con- structive genius of the United States, Blasco Ibanez declared, in an inter view when he arrived here last night.
 Ibanez recalled that when he was a young man he saw a model of the canal the French proposed to cut through the isthmus and said:
 Nobody ever will be able to cut channel through that divide.'
 'It seems I vas mistaken, how ever," Ibanez said, smiling. But, of course, I'd never been in America then"
 Ibanez has little sympathy for the military government Captain General Primo Rivera has set up in Spain. he said. and does not believe it will sur vive, because it has no political sup port.
 Tt is mistake to compare Primo Rivera with Mussolini." the novelist said. "The Italian dictator has sup port of strong and well organized political machine"
 Ibanez merely smiled when asked his opinion of the action of King All fonso in kissing the foot of the Pope during hls recent visit in Rome.
 The writer was suffering from sciatica when he arrived here, and was hardly able to walk. He was taken from his steamer in chair.

 The little Welshman, campaigning with all his old-time fire, attacked the recent Anglo French agreement for preservation of the entente as no agreement at all.
 "This is soft. sloppy diplomacy, and will not save Europe" Lloyd George declared.
 The former prime minister created something of stir when he attack ed the debt settlement with the United States was foolish and bad business" Lloyd George said. If 1t were not for this settlement the credit of Great Britain now would be as good as that of America"
 Baldwin had good chance to settle the problems of Europe" Lloyd George said. He admits he failed So let him chuck up his job and make room for someone who can settle them.
 Europe is the most industrious continent in the world, but we must give her chance.

 Officers and members or the Ala bs ma division of the American Legion, who have intimated to Wash ington distress because of reports that President Coolidge, in his mes sage to Congress, would indorse the tax revision scheme of Andrew w. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury, are neediessly alarmed. it is, learned today. The President will indorse the Mellon scheme only in part.
 The tax reduction proposal of the Secretary is made entirely contingent OF the failure of Congress to enact legislqJion providing for the payment of q bonus to former soldiers of the World war, The President believes that the country would be willing enthusiasm to the proposition that it's taxes may be reduced. But the resident is not assured, it Is learned, that the country would be wiling that no bonus be voted.
 From what comes out Of the White House today. the President will rec comend that taxation be revised downward. He will not even sug- gest that bonus legislation be aban- oned He may go so far as express ing favor of bonus Legislation, pro- vided means for rewarding former soldiers are devised.
 Washington correspondents are given to understand that if the bonus bill is enacted. the President will sign it irrespective of the effect his signature will have on the treasury. It is reasonably certain that the bill will be enacted.
 A canvass of congressman already tere indicates that on account of the Approaching national campaign, 1t is highly probabfe that taxes will be reduced and bonus legislation. at the same time enacted. That is exactly what Mellon declared could not he accomplished.
