over the apparent unwillingness of congress at first to set aside an adequate appropria- tion for the use of the commission or tU give it requisite authority. Now, however. appropriation of four hundred thousand dollars has been agreed on, and the commis- sion is given the authority to compel the attendance of witnesses at sessions of the commission The commission is also given the authority to send questionnaires to coal concerns and to demand full and accurate replies thereto. The attitude of operators towards the commission has not been out wardly unfriendly, and there has been no occasion as yet for the commission to exercise any compulsion, but the specific granting of authority gives the commission back ground of prestige and federal sanction that would save the day in case of any change in this attitude. There is popular belief that there is a solution for the problems that appear to beset the coal industry, and wnose lack of solution falls back upon the public in the way of higher charges for coal at the period of peak demand and of coal short ages with the attendant loss and inconven- fence. The coal commission is trying to find the actual facts on which to base the solution. Public interest and anticipation of relief attend their efforts.

AN AUDITORIUM AT LAST?

There is feeling of relief amounting all most to buoyancy over what now seems to be certain prospect of early construction of the long deferred municipal meeting house" better known as the auditorium. The com munity is well-nigh Jagged out over the matter. It had dragged through practically all of one administration and into the middle of the present one with succession of dis appointments. All this delay and confusion could have been avoided had there been q steady and keen eye directed from the be- ginning to what the people meant when they voted the $500,000 of bonds. They meant a large meeting place for assemblages of the people when they wished to gather in numbers. They conceived sea of faces fo- cused on a stage where some great perform ance was being enacted, some great orator was being heard or some outstanding com munity cause was being presented. They saw national and international conventions assembled there and they saw exhibitions of machinery and homemade products. They wanted the auditorium built forthwith with the money which they had been asked to vote, and built to accommodate great oc-
  terest in the auditorium accepted this popu- lar verdict and gone ahead with that ex pression solely in mind the auditorium would have been in use long ago.
 The architects at first employed have so far revamped their plans that an auditorium seating nearly 5000 persons and of the arena type suited for exposition purposes is pro- vided for. The seating capacity is not as large as majority expression when called on has declared for, but it's size is in keeping with many of the audtoriums in other cities recently constructed, and will accommodate many community gatherings and expositions that no other building in the city will. The community is prepared to accept the p.ans and wish God-speed to the architects and the commission in promptly going ahead. It is almost the feeling of a child long de- prived of promised pair of new boots in realizing that at last they are about to arrive.

SLAUCHTERINC THE BInOD
 (New York. World)

In defeating the bill to provide federal refuges for migratory birds 1t pleased some members of the house of representatives to make merry at the expense of the meas ure. States rights proved the os- tensible stumbling block. The real obstacle was that rural members feared the verdict of the town pump witenagemot, the anger of the shotgun artist who insists on his sacred right to slaughter birds, even to extermination. A congress that has stood for so many onslaughts on state rights could not have been serious in advancing the argument which defeated the bill.
 It happens that bird protection is one thing the state cannot adequate ly deal with. Migratory birds can not see the dozenAor more state lines they may cross twice a year, nor are all states equally ready to protect them. For this reason the department of agriculture, repre- senting the farmer, ss well as the Audubon and other societies, have necessarily turned for help to the federal government.
 Nor need they despair of success later; but a saner verdict should not be delayed until valuable species of birds are extinc1

A COMEDY DUEL

Maybe the public at large didn't exactly "burst out crying" when it heard that Charlie Chaplin and Pola Negri had broken off their engagement to get married, but it will be content to learn that screenland's best known comedian can again put his mind on his work. The six-hour break in the romance has been amended by his ce- nia that he said he was too poor to marry just now, and the annohncement of the little Polish tragedienne that she has taken him back. The one cloud left in Charities sky seems 'o take the share of Poli's former husband, whose name seems to be Count Domski, probably pronounced "Doomsky." Anyway it is said that he wants to fight a duel with Charlie where and when and with what weapons not stated. It is true that Domski doesn't sound exactly mirthful, and there is no telling what long sword he may h-ing with which to pick on Charlie, but it is likely that before the duelling proceedings went far the count would be laughing him. self to death.

they go without women mad to mo- tify congresses and parliaments, Eve will not give you our children, nurse your soldiers, knit your socks, roll a bandage, drive truck or buy bond" In the city of Wash ington in this year a pledge was adopted as follows: "In case my country is at war, will not make hospital supplies; I will not urge food conservation; I will not buy Liberty bonds or any similar war loans; l will not make munitions; Il will not take mans place in order to let him go to wal"
 It is impossible to estimate in how many woman minds in America this sentiment has found an abiding| place. It would be mere guess, also, as to how many women would keep such a pledge in an emergen-| cy. This anti-war preachment may| be reaching many or few women; It may or may not be establishing a permanent impress upon their conduct. l cannot affirm or deny that it is responsible for the talk with reference to non-resistance on the part of the youth. of the nation. But it needs watchful eye in every community in America. Europe is still spending money for armies and navies.
 Let us pray and plead for peace. Let us not provoke enmity, nor deal unjustly. Let us establish such a high standard of national conduct that we can well afford most of the time to be too proud to fight. Let us maintain our idea that we do not want to fight. But until the gospel sways more men than have yet come under it's benign influence let us not indicate that barbarians may seize our civilization, destroy our government and reduce our people without blow being struck. Let the government, the colleges, universities, and high schools q America be training camps for officers. Let our young men be warned of the awful hor- TOTS of a military system. Let them be taught to hate war dIiu tO lOdtilC IL. DuI lcL tllClU also be taught not to fear it in just and righteous cause.
 I would not urge "it is a sweet and proper thing to die for ones country" for under some circum- stances it is a disgrace to die even for your country, but there may arise among peaceful and peace loving people an occasion in which the most disgraceful thing is to live. We can accomplish what the women of the nation wish by high minded conduct at home and abroad. But we cannot accomplish this by unjust conduct in relation to the world, coupled with the doctrine that under no circumstances will we fight. Yes, let us have peace, but let us keep an eye peeled in every community for those who would have it with dishonor.

league as contrary to American principles and policy and accused it's American origi- nators as being worse than despicabe. If there is anything fairminded in that record the ordinary mental process is unable to dstil it out.
 Democratic newspapers on the whole are inclined to favor the proposal and to derive much satisfaction from this evidence that the league is so good that even the Repub- icans cannot longer deny this nation its major benefits. It is a vindication of the Democratic administration and of the policy of Woodrow Wilson.

By THOMAS R. MARSHALL Former Vice President of the United
 Statea

Under the code duello there were certain persons with whom one need not fight. The knight of old was quite particular, in fact, to ascer- tain the character of the person offering insult before presenting a formal challenge, or accepting one. No dignity nor prestige was lost by refusal to meet an unworthy adversary. Woodraw Wilson prob ably had something of this kind in mind when he said America was too proud to fight-a statement that inspired attack on its maker from many sources. Men who wished to fight were incensed at the thought of such a view being held by any one, particularly by the president of the United States, who was commander in chief of the army and navy as well. The for mer president was w>se not to at tempt explanation. He merely bid ed his time and demonstrated at the proper moment that as war rior he was as valiant as the most warlike man in America. He was well within the line tnat separates the gentleman from the bully when he held that a proud and self-re- liant man may well be content to suffer even an intended insult rather than to lower himself to the level of the man that offers it. At the moment of his utterance, President Wilson had not yet satis- fled himself that macdened Ger many really intended to offer de- liberate insult to America. It was weary weeks afterward that the people of the nation reached con- clusion that we should fight. None of the criticism directed at the pres idept was deserved.
 The war is not long ended, either happily or unhappily do not say, and l refer to the "too- -proud-to- fight" incident only by way of illus tration touching pacifism. In the years since the armistce most of us have been saying, Ut must not be again." We feel that steps must be taken to guarantee the future against any recurrence of war. It IS all rlght to feel rnat way and to hope that war will be no more. but we are foolish and are deluding ourselves if we have come to the conclusion that our hopes are real ized, that the ideal condition toward which We have turned our eyes has become actual. The most we should have striven for was unceasing ef fort on our part to minimize the chances of war and to spread the gospel of peace.
 The Christian may be justified in non-resistance under all circum- stances, but until the whole world becomes Christian the question as to how pacific pacifist ought to be will continue to exist. No one. l think, will accuse me of being either quarrelsome UT belligerent, and l do not expect. to be called 2

jingo if 1 call attention to certain subtle and mysterious influences at work in our republic. There is danger of our passing the point of being too proud to fight and of reaching the point of not wanting to fight and of approaching the point of declaring we will not fight. From various communities letters are coming to me asking if I do not deem it advisable that the young men of the country De trained to say, we are not sorng to fight. These are so numerous as to pre- clude either their preservation or their answer. They have impressed me with the belief that education along peaceful lines too strongly stressed without regeneration may lead not to the survival of the fittest, but to the survival of the strongest. ,Fs In the course of my career at the bar 1 met a man who felt that as a Christian he ought not to go to law. He had perfectly good title to eighty acres of land, but no importantly upon my part could in- duce him to defend his title. He permitted his land virtually to be stolen from him rather than assert his right. And he died in the poor house. l do not criticizs his con duct brought about by his con science, but I fear that civil gov ernment would soon fall into disor- der if half the world believed as he did and the other half believed and behaved as did the man that stole his farm. It is difficult problem and l can see no solution to it unless the world be regenerated or those who believe in the doctrine of non- resistance shall voluntarily expatri- ate themselves. Until then most of us will have fellow feeling with the old Quaker who pulled off his coat when confronted by a bully and threw it on the ground, saying Lay there, Quaker, till I lick this man."
 l find myself wondering how this view that young men should be schooled in refusal to fight ob- tained it's start. Is it an American view exclusively or is it interna- tional in it's character? Can it be that it found its origin in the senti- ments avowed by many good wom- en? It is a fact, though perhaps not common knowledge, that when the International Women's council met in Zurich in May, 1919, the women there assembled solemn ly swore a VOW never to support any war by direct or indirect help. A great international strike of wom- en against war was unanimously agreed upon. Since then many women have been writing to the effect that no cause justified the organized destrL ction of human lives. They have advised pledges of passive resistance to war or prep arations for war; urged members of their sex to s,eak and write and vote against war; to serve notice upon the men that if they go to war
