MAN
DRIVES MACHINE
ON STREETS

The sight Of . blindfolded man
driving q touring car at the highest
lawful rate Of speed through
crowded streets gave Pensacola,
Florida, residents . new motoring
thrill last month. The feat was per-
formed by Hayward Thompson, an
ex-marine, who Is said to have ac-
quired supernatural powers Of MEM
DRY along with skull injury during
the war. He staged his remark
able stunt to assist the Marston
post Of the American Legion IN q
drive for funds. 81
Mayor Bayliss of Pensacola AZ
fixed the blindfold, consisting of
eight layers of thick, black cloth.
The streets over which It had been
announced Thompson would drive
were crowded at starting time with
pedestrians and machines. Thomp-
SON climbed into . stock model
touring ear loaned for the occasion,
and without hesitation stepped ON
the gas.". The crowds scattered
before his car as he sped around
corners and curves, never once falt-
ering in the course he had set for
himself after taking . survey Of the
city. Several stops were made, in
accordance with his plans during the
drive which covered more than two
miles.
Thompson y reluctant to discuss
his peculiar mental ability, but ex-
plains that in the feat he accomp-
lished it Is important that the car
be easy to handle leaving his mind
clear to guide him along the course
he has charted. His sense Of dist
ance is truly remarkable according
to the city officials and Newspaper
men who have observed his perform
ances in various cities. He d not

services for benefit work.

THE DIFFERENCE

The basic difference between Old World and New
World diplomacy is that in Europe foreign policy il
nexiDe changing to meet exterior conditions but no.
where resting any formula to be defined more ex-
actly than "the good of the nationn-which il ex
pediency-while in America foreign policy rests on
Of attitude and conduct by which external
issues tested.
Secretary Hughes illustrated this in his message to
the fanAmerican conference at Santiago when he re-
stated the prime article Of the creed Of the United
States in its attitude toward International affairs
1t Is simple phrase, ideastc to those who do not
believe in it, but inevitable to those do He said:
AH problems find solution among those who desire to
be friendly and just"
This Is the negation Of war, complete and final 1t
excludes automatically every source of war; except
war forced by some person or people denying cyilza
tion itself; In which the offender would be neither
friendly nor just But it eliminates national jealousies
1t prohibits group alliances known as "ebalance of
power" and it makes impossible recourse to arms
10 the extend that we unwilling to eliminate
those mischievous things the idea impractical But
TO the extent that any considerable number of powers
oesre peace is not only practical but in existence
The Pan-American conference proves it. And this
conference rests the basis as the recent con-
ference OF Central American powers at Washington and
the Arms Limitation Conference of year ago. The
foundation of conference as the New World under
stands 1t, is simply desire to be friendly and Just"
and thereby solve problems.
1t Is important that people should recognize clearly
the difference between this form of conference and
conference OF acuteysharpened rvaes based on prior
grievances and interlockng diplomacy There is no
comparison between Lausanne and Santiago. between
Genoa and Washington. 1t is easy to be mislead by
phrase The only conference to which the United
States even contribute its counsels is one dedicated
to friendne~ and Justice By that test every over
ture to this country has to be judge.
On the surface this to divide the world again
into two groups, devoted to the old FORMS with
wheels within Wheels and the other group devoted to
the new forms. Or in other words, one group ready
to use war as an argument and the other group deny
ing the necessity Of as an argument But whereas
the first group bound by its past partnerships and
sides within itself, if all the world met with it.
the other group while opening its membership to all
the world, exist only by the denial forever of any
division within itself. Its cardinal point Of policy
states that. Secretary Hughes phrased it simply It
is the gospel Of the New World

the killing is small sheep man who

claims he met deceased on Monday

that number of his sheep had
mixed with Dufferna's flocks and
was requested to come and get
them in the morning. At an early
hour the next morning he went to
Duherena's camp to get his prop
erty when he was met by deceased
who drew a revolver. At the same
instant he raised his rifle and fired
the bullet striking Miri between the
eyes. He claims that Miri's weapon

that the bullet went wild.

BETTER NOT SAY IT

Bad news travels faster than good news. There is
an old saying, mo news is good news" Let man be
converted at church service and there is not much of
stir, but let resident be convicted Of crime and the
news leaps by word Of mouth from one end of the
community to the other.
How thoughtlessy unkind we sometimes are when
acquaintance Of suffer msfortunel Troubles are
pound to come to US all in some shape form, and
what we say about others today may apply to US to-
morrow News is no respector Of persons.
We are prone to consider the ways of Others not
our ways when we should be watching our own STEP
What folks say of another sometimes hurts more
than anything they could have done. News either
good or bad grows and becomes exaggerated and dis
torted with pedding When the is good it makes
no material difference how it is exaggerated or dis
torted-it can never do anyone positive HARM But
bad news given wings, may bring sorrow and ruin
upon people who certainly are not deserving of
punishment beyond the penalty Of their mistakes
More charity for others will mean charity for our
selves and we will gradually come to take keener
delight in reporting something good of some person
than something bad Good is constructive bad is de-
structive Just before you about to let out bit

BABE BRANDED BY
MOTHER WITH 4
KNIFE IS FOUND

NEW YORK; premonition of
impending disaster which impelled a
mother, now in California, to brand
her baby son with a knife at the
outbreak of the world war, in
Turkey, has led to finding the son
among children rescued by Near
East relief workers, according to
Laird Archer, of Wichita, Kansas,
who has just returned from the
Near East.
The brand was no simple mark
but a terrific series of perpendicu-
lar slashes parallel in two rows
across the full width of the boys
shoulders, Archer states.
"1he mother unquestionably be-
lieved that the baby, If lost in the
separations of families which she
feared would come, must present q
conspicuous, shocking reason for at
tracing attention and make him
forever remembered by any who saw
him." he said. Zone cannot esti-
mate the mental suffering she must
have undergone to do it. But she
was right. Even with the scars,
his being found is a miracle in the
turmoil of disasters since the war;"
Thanks to the brand, therefore,
the mother-Mrs. B. Torosian, of
Dinuba, California-is preparing for
what to her is actual resurrection
reunion with the blue-eyed golden
haired son who has been lost for
eight years.
The baby was stolen from her
when two years old by a Turkish
officer, near Mardin, during depor-
tations of Armefiians from Erze-
roum to the Arabian deserts, in
June, 1915, according to records
filed by the mother with American
authorities at Beirut, The father
died from starvation, but the mother
escaped to this country. After q
vivid dream that the boy still lived
she determined to try a search.

said Archer. "The mother enlisted
the aid Of Miss Adelaide S. Dwight,
4 Smith college woman, who broad
casted drawings of the remarkable
scars over the entire Near East
through the machinery of the Near
East Relief. Miss Dwight was born
IN Turkey and states that she be-
ieved the search was useless in the

1T HAS A FALSE RING

Judged by the emotions in which the war was
fought the regedy it represented to millions of people
the occasional trials Of statesmen and officers con-
cerned therein and their punishment should stir us
with profound Sense Of that human vengeance so
perfectly illustrated by the Count Of Monte Cristo
The truth is that the trials and sentences stir little
If any corresponding rejoicing.
The supreme difficulty is that there is no genuine
worldwide conviction that any of these men was re-
sponsibe; there is feeling that the war resulted from
longer causes doubts the men tried represent
the most guilty element; whether more are untried
then are convicted; whether they are guilty at all;
whether sense Of justice q sense Of political
expediency governs the trials.
IN Bulgaria the men recently punished are all DO
itical foes of the PREMIER Stamboulisky His position
was precarious and he needed successful
One cannot overlook such coincidence. Radoslavoff
the former prime minister is safe in exile; to punish
him for his contempt of court he gets life sentence
Jekof the commander in chief left his refuge and re-
turned to face his accusers he is rewarded by only
years. But Jeko, of course is serving his 10 years
while Radosavof sustans his heavy sentence at liberty
There may be signal lesson somewhere in these
trials But if the six condemned men are guilty of
sending Bulgaria into the war, someone else already
had provided the In these saner pos-beum DAVIS
the business has false and ineffective ring to it.

CONTROVERSY OVER
NEW YORK CITY'S
NEW RIVER PIERS
American and British
Steamship Lines Strive
to Control Docks.

New York, April 26.-American and
British steamship lines were in a
snarl today over acquisition of the
city's new piers in the Hudson river.
The new piers are 1000 feet long,
the length required to dock the giant
Leviathan. the biggest vessel to fly
the American flag. and one of the
largest in the world. That also is
the room needed for four British ships
sailing from this port.
The United States lines, which will
operate the Leviathan when she goes
into service July 4, is in the fight
TO prevent having 10 dock the vessel
on the Jersey side of the HUDSON. and
the Britishers, it was understood,
were seeking TO add TO the facilities
they now have on another part of the
river front.
The controversy came into the open
when dock Commissioner Delaney
recommended that the new dock he al
located TO the Leviathan. Agamenon

States lines, which operates vessels

under an agreement with the United
States Shipping Board.
At the same time it was made
known that the British lines. the
CuRard Steamship Company and the
International Mercantile Marine,
whose big ships are respectively, the
Beregaria, AQuitania, Majestic and
Olympic, claim the docks under an
implied agreement of which Commits
sioner Delaney said he could find no
record.
In connection with the dispute n
letter Chairman Laskey of the ship
ping board wrote 10 Mayor Hylan last
January was made pubic.
In part it read:
The Leviathan is the property Of
the United States government and is
operated by tine government. There.
fore. it is the property of all the
people of the United States and rep
resents-because it will be the finest
shin ever put in the ocean, either
under the American flag or any other
flag-the sentiment of the people Of
America as ii relates to the American
flag on the ocean.
1T seems unbelievable that the Ie-
viathan should be excluded from the
piers owned by the citizens of New
York because foreign flag competitors
have pre-empted entirely the facilities
of your great port"
