Washington, ID. c., Apcil 2s.-An
unremitting campaign against Presi-

will be carried on by Republican sena-
tors who, for time, threatened an
open party breach over the issue.
Silenced and driven under cover for
a while by Mr.. Harding's bold chal-

their hostility to the court idea. They
still hold that it is an entangling step
and are unsatisfied about Great Brit
aims six votes to Americas one in

A report circulated today that the
British government had informed the
United States that it would accept
senatorial reservation providing that,

should also have but one, was a.
clared at the State Department atsr

well known, it was stated.

All INSANE WORLD
PREDICTED AS RESULT
OF INTENSE LIFE
Restraint in Play and Work
Must Be Taught, Says
Alienist.
FL JOHN GARDINER.

SoP9TShl Dy Inc san Antonio Light.
Montreal, April cS.-In another
quarter of Gentry or so. pretty near
ly the whole civilized world will have
become or be on the way to become
insane If nothing is done to stop the
rapid increase in mental arrangement
This is the opinion of DIR. A. H..
Desloges, director of asylums and the
department of public health of the
province of Quebec.
The past year has been record
one IN the number of cases of insanity
treated, not only for the province Of
Quebec but throughout the whole
world. The reason, he believed, in
common with most alienists to be the
extraordinary intensity and excitement
of life today.
Nobody works or plays or does
anything normally these days" the
doctor said today. when we work.
we work like mad; when we play we
play like mad; whatever we do. we
do it with all the intensity of crazy
enthusiasm.
Then there is the general and eco
nomic shock of the war which has
had Its effect everywhere and which
has largely given rise TO this condition
OF things. 1t has left a tendency TO
lose all sense of balance and propor-
ton, both in work and pleasure. This
is increasingly disorsanizing the nerv-
Gus system of the individual members
, OF society TO the extent that insanity
is becoming one of the social evils
which have TO be dealt with by ener.
getic measures.
We work and play like crazy crea.
lures and no one has any trace of
the sane, healthy, normal life left.
The figures of insanity are steadily
increasing and the indications are
that unless something is done TO stop
it. they will continue to increase at
an alarming rate.
What should we do to remedy it ?
We must get back to quiet family life.
At present We have nothing but the
life of clubs, of hotels. of dance halls,
OF cafes-never any family life any
where.
The man who struggles vainly
against adverse circumstances in the
unsuccessful effort to make both ends
meet, very often gives way mentally
at the finish and the intensity of the
struggle for existence is the cause of
his trouble. But We must get back
to simpler, quieter life. The press.
sociologiSts. public men. all who have
any Influence must teach the people
the necessity of restraining them
selves, both in their pleasure, in their
search after wealth and success, in
everything TO exercise normal reason
able restraint"
Back to a simpler life" is the doc.
tors final conclusion. That is real
y the only way out OF the trouble.
If you cannot simplify the life of the
people and take some of the crazy in
tensity out of it, no one can doubt that
the outlook is very far from encour-
aging"
DIR. Deslogcs' annual report on in
sane asylums in the province Of
Quebec. shows that they contain 910
more patients than are normally pro-
yided for, while for various reasons.
there are many requiring care that
could not be admitted. Epileptics of
sound mind, for instance. have no in
stitution to take care Of them. Patti
ents not belonging TO Quebec also
we're not admitted.

the Federal Land Bank. 1t was seer
that as soon as the land had been i'm.
proved and partially developed ant
the first crop planted, an addition
note could be made at the bank with
the land and improvements as &c
curity that would be taken up by the
Land Bank. This money could ther
be used TO take IN the first notes
leaving the farmer with his initial
payment made, his place improved and
a crop planted with a long time loan
at very low rate of interest.
The scheme, although it was first
thought of and perfected last August.
was not actually put into effect until
about the end of the year. The first
sale under the new plan, Mr.. Madison
said, was made in December, 1922. In
all, As sales have been made in the
county, totaling 10000 Eighteen or
twenty sets of grubbers have worked
constantly since that time, he said, TO
clear the 1912 acres now under pro-
cess of cultivation, and they are still
working.
Say Practice Will Grow.
Those who have helped Mr.. Madison
in the field, bringing together pur-
chasers and sellers and negotiating for
the loans are. G. Spencer. f. II.
Kemp and o. c. Haworth. Their re-
ports of the work, Mr.. Madison said,
tell of continued success. Farmers
who bought under the plan are going
ahead, bankers and merchants see in
their success an increased prosperity
for themselves and the community.
they report, and it is their belief that
within the near future the practice
will spread over not only the state but
the whole country.

1t behooves America first 10 keep
faith with herself" he said.
Tells About Congress.
Briefly. Mr.. Owsley told of the
manner in which Congress had de.
clared and conducted its part OF the
war. and of the Investigations insti-
gated by the legion, of contracts let
by the government. After two years
of humiliation. he said, some one in
Congress got up enough nerve to de-
clare war. War was declared and
then it was discovered that an army
and navy was needed. it was pro-
posed to use the best men of the
land for this. trose between the ages
o. 81 and SO, he said. and as this
did not include any of those then scrv.
ing In the House or the Senate. il
was passed unanimously. Getting
this gar, Mr.. Owsley said. some ono
came TO the realization of the fact
that the soldiers and sailors would
have to have supplies, and Congress
began appropriating.
Cites Air Service Expense.
In all. he said. there were in the
neighborhood of 10000 contracts let.
'iis ittchtig nave tHey Depn looked
into. The examination of 1900 of
them, he said. has resulted in the
return of S6S.0OO.00O to the treas
ury Of the country. As nm example.
he said. the country found itself with
hundreds of thousands of pounds OF
sugar in its warehouses. At that
time sugar was selling Mt from 81
to 80 and 36 cents per pound. In
spite of the prevailing prices "thc
chosen few" bought this sugar Mt
little over and n fraction cents a.
pound. When it was sold. he said.
it was discovered that the army and
navy still needed some sugar for the
mon who had not been mustered out
and much OF the sugar was bought
back nj % cents. One billion. fifty
ono million dollars. he said. was spent
on the mir service. and not one amer
lcan shin reached the fighting front.
To right those wrongs and to pre-
vent thoir recurrence. he ~aid. is ono
of the leading purposes Of the legion.

NEW SYSTEM
To DEVELOP
LAND ON SAP
II. M. Madison Works Out
Plan TO Aid Small
Farmers.
TIDES THEM OVER
Get Short Time Money to
Clear Land and Then
Long Time Loan.

After a one-year trial in San Pa
tricio county, system for farmers,
without capital, to develop raw land
and get it under cultivation without
fear of foreclosure has been pro-
nounced successful by II. NJ. Madi-
son, farm and immigration agent of
the s. A. and A. L. Heretofore, Mr..
Madison said, many farmers did not
have enough money to tide them. over
until their raw land became pro-
ductive enough to pay off debts.
In the trial along the Sap, 10000
acres of land has been sold to farm
ers, 1912 acres have been cleared and
81 dwellings erected without any fail
ures, and Mr.. Madison believes that
the system is the greatest achieve
ment of his department. The method,
he thinks, may revolutionize farm
ing and farm development all over the
state.
First Loan Short.
For a number of years Mr.. Madison
and his assistants have been making
a study of farm development. In 1921
it was decided that loan company
would be organized. stock bringing Il
nominal interest to be sold among the
employees of the railroad. This money
was TO be loaned only TO farmers de-
string to buy and develop land along
the lines of the company. The condi-
ton under which the money was TO
have been loaned was that those de-
string 10 borrow must have enough to
pay the initial payment on the land,
and that the money borrowed from the
loan, company would be used to de-
velop.
However. when Mr.. Madison and
his employees went into the counties
along the railroad to start their de-
vclopment work. il was found that
there was plenty of money available
from institutions already established.
il they could be given assurance that
the notes made by farmers would be
taken W when due. The scheme was
then struck on that purchasers of raw
land would borrow from the banks
with the stipulation that the money
be used for development and improve
ment. the banks 10 pay the bills for
this work as they came due.

Berlin Situation

BERLIN, Aug. 14.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press)-The industrial situ-
alton in Berlin showed improvement
today, and there were reports Of bet
terment in conditions from other
parts of Germany. although disor-
ders were still in progress in many
districts.
Despite strenuous efforts by the
communists here in Berlin, the col
/ lapse of the general strike move
ment was regarded as imminent. The
gas works were still idle, but opera
tions have been resumed at a num-
Der of the electric power stations.
The street cars and underground
railways were running and traffic on
the state railways was almost nor
NAL.
Improvement was also noticed
among the private industrial estab-
lishments, several works resuming
operations.
The police prevented attempts to
hold demonstrations in various parts
of Berlin.
The situation at Stettin has be-
come worse. The dock employees
went on strike and numbers of shops
were plundered, especially butchers
and bakers.
The communists have become very
active among the farm laborers.
Strikes have broken out on more
than fifty estates in the Soldin
province. and partial strikes are re-
ported from Genthin, Goethen and
Quedlinburg, Prussian Saxony. Wan
zleben and Bernburg. and Ballen-
stedt, Duchy and Anhalt.
The communists appeal for a gen.
eral strike at Leipsic failed.
The Hamburg situation is quieter.
The street cars and elevated rail-
ways are running.
Order has been restored at Lue-
beck, where there was a commun-
ist eruption yesterday, and work has
been resumed in all the establish
ments there.
