The hunt trophy room is a great
hall in the eastern angle of the castle.
Dur ng the war it was used as a store

It IS T chilly decorated with trophies

A cracking blaze in an old.fash-

were burning. threw a cheerful
warmth and glow over the scene.
The prince and princess stood on a
Bengal tiger skin, one of the several
souvenirs Of his big game hunting e<-
ploits in India.
Ancestral portraits Of the Hohen-

Among them was a large portrait of
the crown prince. astride a war
charger.
Costly bronzes and other art objects
gave the chamber an atmosphere of
luxury.
The manners Of both the Crown
Prince and Princess were very simple
and cordial. There was no hint of
ceremony or stiffness.
The Crown Prince enjoyed himself
hugely today, his first day at home
since the German armies crumbled in
1918 and he fed into exile.
He arose late and breakfasted

The Professor Answered

(RCpuDilCan JOufnaI)
The president of one of our New
England colleges is reported to have
recently said: America has not
even the beginnings of an educa-
tional system"
Well, Professor, this is a COM
paratively new country. 1t was
discovered by Columbus All years
ago, the first English settlement was
made only BIG years ago, its estab-
lishment as an independent nation
was only 40 years ago. Our edu-
cational system is far from being
perfect, but such as it is, it is today
the best in the world and better
than Greece, Rome, or any other
country ever had.
The census of 1920 shows that
there ~were then more than 15,00O,-
600 children of school age in the
United states and that more than 80
per cent of them were attending
school. There were spent in 1920
for the public schools of this coun-
try more than one billion dollars
and this does not include the ex-
penditure for the maintenance of
private schools and colleges. It
seems to us that, with 80 per cent of
our children in school and the ex-
penditure of the above immense sum
of money. that we have made more
than beginnings in our educational
system"
1t is true that the value of an ed,,-
cational system cannot be measured
by dollars expended. nor by gross
school attendance. This must be de-

RUSSIA AND RESPONSIBILITY

Undoubtedly there has been. in
what has been related respecting
the reign of bolshevism in Russia,
much of misinformation. A certain
reaction from that must be expected.
Already people are saying: "Well,
the Russians have a government
which is getting matters in hand
better every day." 1t Is easy to see
that some Of these people regard
this as evidence of soviet's fitness to
govern. They appear to overlook the
conspicuous fact that Russia's real
government, such as it Is, consists Of
a small number Of individuals who
have been able to get control of the
tools of governing in country
where four fifths Of the people
neither know nor care about gov
eminent which doesn't interfere with
them-and the Russian rulers some
time since learned to let the peas
antry alone.
In justice to all concerned such
reactions should be guarded against
If we would view the situation in the
light of truth with proper per-
spective. The two million people
condemned to death under the new
regime, the theft of untold millions,
the reputation of all debts, the
mischief fomented by these fanatics
in other countries, all this should not
be overlooked If we would arrive at
sound judgment respecting the only
form of government which Russia
now has or Is likely to have in the
immediate future. Then there are
the millions who starved and froze.
1t is utterly unreasonable to accept
the bolshevists' excuse that this was
wholly due to NATURAL causes when
there is no evidence that any con-
siderable portion of the loot in pos
session of the Russian rulers was
devoted to relief of the suffering, no

ABLE AND ACQUAINTED

Probably no member of the Re-
publican National Committee will
possess wider or more comprehensive
knowledge of the worlds affairs OBJ
tanned through intimate acquaint-
ance with them than the new men,
Der from Maine, Hon. Harold N.
Sewall. Older members of the Re-
publican party recall his staunch
support of the policy which our
minister to Hawaii, Hon. John l..
Stevens, attempted to inaugurate in
those islands and which despite the
opposition of President Cleveland
later became the settled policy Of our
Government. AS consul general to
Samoa, 1879 Mr.. Sewall attracted
national interest by his opposition to
German pretensions in those islands.
1t was he. then minister to Hawaii.
who received the transfer of the
sovereignty of the Hawaiian islands
in 1898 and later he was the first
member of the Republican National
Committee from HaWall. lie was
delegate at large to the Republican
National convention in 1916. 1t might
be said he inherited maritime knowl-
edge which President Harding
doubtless considered when appoint
ing Mr. Sewall a member of the Ad-
visory Committee at the Washington
Conference for the limitation of
naval ornaments. At least it is evil
dent that Mr.. Sewall's extensive ac-
quaintance with public men and at
fairs and his long and valuable ex-
perience can be of no disadvantage
to his State in the position to which
the Republican State Committee ap-
pointed him, following the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Gannett.

practical effort for succor was made
by them and their mismanagement
had practically ruined the country's
ability to perform the proper func-
tons of government.
The terrible conditions with which
bolshevism was utterly unable to
cope and which it's rule served to
aggravate are not TO be doubted. The
report of the American Relief Ad-
ministration is not open to question.
1t did not go to Russia for purposes
of interfering with the government
or aiding any plan to substitute
another for it. Its sole purpose was
to distribute the food and supplies
which generous people in this coun-
try gave to aid the Russian people.
They found in Russia, under this
soviet rule. broken down transporta-
ton, children abandoned to perish
by the roadsides, the dead lying
about the railway stations, COM
munities fleeing from pestNence, hos
pitfalls filthy beyond description and
lacking even the commonest necessi-
ties and utter decentralization on
every hand. Any government worthy
of the name in this day could have
prevented or relieved much of this
The soviet government did not. The
American Relief distributed more
than sixty million dollars worth of
supplies. For all this the theories of
government in Russia can claim NOT
the slightest credit on any basis of
fact. On the contrary it should bear
such of the responsibility for the
horrible conditions as rightfully be-
longs to it.

UNcLEAN SPIRITS AND ART

High art alone is eternal and the

but conception of what constitutes
high art falls considerably short or
being universal. And among the
uninitiated or the uninspired it can
not protect itself from imitation.
Conceived in revelation of truth and
beauty it's heritage should partake of
everlasting qualities. Even so the
sordid and corrupt have no respect
for these. Truth and beauty appeal

EVERY REMOTE"

To those who dream of an ap-
preaching struggle between the
white and the yellow races, and
there are such, the achievement Of
Turkey at the Lausanne Conference
affords more than usual significance.
They note the aggressiveness of the
resurrected Turk, his almost inso-
lent insistence that the British i'm
mediately withdraw all their cruis-
ers pending the Straits convention.
All this seems incredible to those
who send their thoughts back to
1918 and the satisfaction then had
over the assumed fact that Turkey,
the cruel and corrupt. had at last
she was we'll out of Europe never to
come back, that the Straits would be
opened to the world as an interna-
tional highway, that Armenia the
outraged, should receive justice.
And now Turkey is back in Europe,
bold of front and insisting on being
recognized as a self sufficient mem
Der Of civilized nations with her own
courts, with the lands and posses
,sions of foreigners formerly living in
but recently driven from Turkey,
with all the assurance of con-
,queror Turkey that was bankrupt in
credit and reputation, that was
whipped. Did ever conquered
people stage such a come back be-
fore?
The explanation? Well, that is
something over which there is likely
to be disagreement, possibly with all
the disagreeing parties partly in the
right. Why has Turkey been able to
come back into Europe? Nominally
because Greece. confronting her
there, miserably failed in her at
tempt to go over into Asia. But
suppose vast oil deposits had been
included in this territory now re-
turned to Turkey? There is no oil
in Armenia. Mesopotamia, Syria,
Palestine and Arabia have not been
given back to Turkey, although In
the course of events Turkey may
plausibly entertain hope of eventual
ly getting them back.
And then. for moment, get q
glimpse of the British mind trained
in looking far ahead. In the House
of Lords, the. proposed naval base al

Viscount Grey frankly admitted
there was, however remote, con-
