always be honest and upright"
So runs familiar old German song,
the music of which chimes regularly
from the lofty tower Of the famous
Garrison church of Potsdam. Away
down below, in the vaults Of the ed
ifics, rest the bodies of Frederick
the Great and his father Frederick
William /.
The organist who plays these
chimes was forced recently by hard
times to apply for an increase in
wages. When his application cam.
before the city council it met with
opposition from the Communist
aldermen because of their political
objections to the selections played
on the bells. Not only, they main
tanned, was always Be Honest and
being chimed forth, but
the organist even went so far as 10
play Deutschland Uber Allies" on
national holidays. The bourgeois
representatives overruled these
objections in favor of the organist,
themselves ready to live
up to the honest and upright" sen
timent in their dealings with their
employees. The Garrison church
was built by Frederick William I.
the first king of Prussia. and silenc-
ing OF it's chimes would mean al
most as great hardship in the lives
of Potdam's natives as would the
closing of the gates to Sans Souci.

why should America hesitate
why be afraid?"
Although he did not enumerate
among the debated points worthy of
discussion Article Ten, which proved
the storm center of the fight against
Americas entrance into the League,
Justice Clarke discussed II at some
length. He repeated the arguments
its defenders used during the Senate
fight-that America could not be
drawn into war without her own con
sent under Article Ten, because 1t
was provided that all decisions un-
der that article must be unanimous,
and Americas own objection was
enough to keep her out.
But since there are timid Souls
who may differ with u.s." he con-
tinued, "let me say that IL Is entire
~ clear that a single sentence stat
ing that in joining the league, we
interpret article ten as being subject
to our constitutional limitation that
only congress can declare war,
would certainly guard against either
legal Or moral obligation attaching
to any refusal Of ours to join in a
war commenced within the scope of
its terms. ....s
Article Ten
But once again--sincc this ar
ticle ten must be discussed oil the
basis of America having suddenly
turned timid, IL not cowardly--even
the demagog must be silenced by the
vote OF the Assembly Of the League
on September 9th last which. for
the purpose OF giving effect to the
disarmament provisions OF Article g.,
directed the Council to prepare g
form for "A Regional Treaty OF Mu-
tual Guarantee to be submitted to
all the members by the terms of
which all obligations of any member
to 60 to the assistance Of another
under that or any other provision OF
the Covenant will be limited to ma
tons in the same part OF the globe
meaning on the continent in which
the occasion for war shall arise.
when our obligation under this
article ten, SO luridly pictured as
drafting and irving our boys into the
shambles of Europe under orders
from foreign powers, is thus limited
by practical construction and by de-
finite treaty to this side of the At.
lantic. surely even the most timid OF
our Little Americans must cease
from troubling in the happy release
from imaginary fears which will
thus be brought to them-for there

SEEK SAFETY MEASURES
British Shipping Companies Provid
ing For Care Passengers

London, December lo.-[Corres-
pondence of The Associated Press
Since the sinking of the steam
ship Egypt last May, with the Moss
of over one hundred lives, British
shipping companies have been en-
deavoring to work out a system
which would prevent confusion in
the event of passengers having to
take to the boats, and British lines
are keenly interested in the expert
ments in this direction made by the
French Mesageries Maritimes com
pany.
AS oil lamps do not give enough
light during the confusion occasion
ed by shipwreck, and as electric
lights are apt to go out when the
dynamos are flooded, it Is planned
to paint all safety arrangements
with luminous paint Of new type
which will resist climate and
weather.
The latest regulations for safety
at sea which are generally followed
by the leading companies. provide
that q passenger liner should have
ar emergency electric lighting set
or the upper deck, where the water
cannot get at 1t until the ship ac-
tually goes down.

Chinese Are Becoming Accustomed
To Many New Things Adopted
Picking, December 2O.-[Corres-
pondence Of The Associated Pressl
The Chinese have become ac-
customed to many western ways,
but glass windows in trains are still
perplexifg to them. In the remote
districts the natives continue to
make their windows of rice paper,
following a custom that is centuries
old.
Passengers on q railroad running
between Shanghai and Picking re-
Gently were surprised to find black
lines painted across the window
panes Of the cars. The explanation
given was that Chinese farmers,
who are beginning to travel, being
unused to transparent windows
would thrust their heads through
the glass, resulting in many broken
windows and cut scalps. 1t is hoped
by the railroad management that
the upkeep in window glass will be
reduced by the use Of painted lines.

MANY SURPRISES IN

tom Mix in Arabia," title of the
latest Fox production, starring the
vigorous Tom Mix, which is due at
the Liberty theatre next Thursday, is
characterized by many surprising in
cidents that will please the most
blase of picture-goers.
1t is doubtful whether any photo
play ever exhibited on the local
screen possessed more thrilling sit
uations which were actually enacted
by the star of the picture who re-
fused the assistance of double.
Without revealing in detail the
elements of new and surprising ac-
tion and atmosphere that tom Mix
in Arabia contains, it may be said
that Mix practically steps out Of his
old character entirely and reveals
new power and versatility as an &C
tor-becomes reckless and roman
tic adventurer amid tense scenes and
dynamic action in the Arabian de-
sert. sa
With a colorful and romantic story
of this type, Mix has a greater OPP
portunity than ever to show his capa-
bilities as an actOr-and he does 1t
in manner that establishes him
more strongly in fame and favor
than ever before. With bold, broad
strokes, as we'll as the very finest
shading of character delineation, Mix
plays upon every emotion mixing de-
