ADVOCATE UNITED
 STATES OF EUROPE
Mailed Fist Has Failed And Something Else Is Needed,
 Says Dr. Bell

COLOGNE, Dec. 1e-Only through creating "the United States of Eu- rope" can the peoples of the various European countries effect the recon struction of this continent and the preservation of occidental civilization, declares Dr. Johannes Bell, vice president of the Reichstag and former minister of railways.
 Dr. Bell gives publicity to an ap- peal for "the United States of Europe" in the Peoples Gazette, q Catholic journal published in Cologne.
 He realizes the great opposition there will be to such a union of European powers, especially from ex- treme reactionaries, but asserts that as the mailed fist" has failed to solve Europes problems something else must be tried.
 ''If the struggle for supremacy, the wars of rivalry and revenge are to continue in Europe, there can be no cure for Europes ailments" says pr. Bell Therefore, peace must be the watchword of all European nations. The drum must be beaten for re- cruits to this new idea of a com munity of European nations. feel ing of solidarity between all nations of Europe must be created"
 Dr. Bell believes the League of Nations would get new power if the European powers were to cease their bickerings and all were to enter the league on an equal footing.
 In conclusion, pr. Bell pleads for fair treatment for the Rhineland. He says that it should be permitted to remain a part of the German republic without interference from outside, as 1t has been German ever since It was civilized.

Battle Against White Plague Being Won Gradually,
 Statistics Show

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s.-The battle against tuberculosis Is being won gradually.
 Census bureau statistics made pub lie today show the number of deaths per 100000 population in the regis tration area of the country compris- ing S5 per cent of the total inhabit- ants. declined from 150 in 1918 to STA last year. There has been a de- crease in the death rate every year since 1918, but the decline shown last smallest in the period. The decline shown In 1919 was 24.4 per 100000; in 1920 1t was 11.4, in 1921 1t was 14S but in 1922 the decrease was only 2.4.
 There were s4,453 deaths from tuberculosis in the registration area last year. as compared a with 8S,135 in 1921 and 93,170 in 1920. Although 12 states showed increases in rates for 1922, in 22 states there were de- creases, indicating that the general trend is still downward.
 The highest rate was that of Co., lorado with 1883. which was decline of 1.6 per 100000 from 1921. The lowest rate was that of the adjoin- ing state of Nebraska with 36.5, which was a decline of 05. The high rate for Colorado, census bureau officials explained, should not be ascribed to unhealthfulness of climate, but rather to the fact that the climate attracts those afflicted with tuberculosis.
 The death rate per 100000 population from tuberculosis in the states show ing decline in rate since 1921 include:
 Illinois, S3.S; Indiana, S76; Louis- jana. 119.S; Maryland, 1902; Missis- sippi, 107.4: New York, 99.S; North Carolina 1925 South Carolina, 1885; Virginia. 1903; Washington, 7S.2; Wisconsin, 71,2.

CASEY SLIPS POSSE AS H|S VICT IN DIES
Railroad Stations For Radius Of Fifty Miles Are Be-
 ing Watchied

JONESBORO, Ark, Dec. 16.-(By Associated Press s.)-Benny Casey, es- capped Kansas convict tonight had ap- parently eluded the possee which for nearly 24 hours has trailed him in the river bottoms between Bono and Sedg- wick. in Lawrence county, following the capture of his fellow prisoner, Charles O'Keith.
 Casey and O'Keith escaped from a train Friday, after fatally wounding David Burns, parole officer who was returning them to the Kansas penitenitary. Their next appearance was last night at Bono, when O'Keith was cornered in restaurant by dep uty and Marshal James Coward. Casey, who saw that his companion was trapped fled from the town. A posse sighed him once last night, in the Cash river bottoms, but no trace of him has been found since that time.
 Every railroad station within 50 miles of Bono is being. guarded. as it is expected Casey will attempt to board a train. Sheriffs Walter John son of Craighead county, George Hays of Newport and Neal Cole of Law renee county are directing the posse in the search, their latest clew lead ing them in the direction of Sedwick where, it was reported late today a man answering Casey's description had been seen.
 O'Keith, who is being held in Jail here, claims that Casey directed the daring escape of the two from the train while being carried back to Kansas, according to local officials. Burns, the parole officer, died in a St. Louis hospital Saturday.
 A possee of over 50 men continued to search the tow lands between Bono and Sedgwick tonight, believing that Casey would be unable to escape from the region.

SOUGHT DEATH TO END PAIN, BELIEF
Mystery Of Suicide Of Mrs. Rupert Hughes Cleared In
 Part By CabIegram

PEKIN, Dec. 16.-Mystery sur rounding the suicide of Mrs. Rupert Hughes, wife of the American nov eilst and playwright, has been par tlaliy cleared by a cablegram sent to friends here just before she killed herself at Haiphonz, in Indo-Chira
 The message shows that a few hours before the tragedy Mrs her life, and was, indeed, anxio1s'y looking forward to the completion Of her world tour, planning to hurry toward Paris, where she would meet her husband.
 It also shows, however, that she was nervous and agitated, vexed by series of unpleasant incidents of a sea voyage and suffering intense pain from ear trouble.
 Everything terrible has happened to me-" she cabled. T may feel bet ter when l reach the Jungle ruins near here, Cheerio."
 The message was sent Friday, a few hours before her tragic death.
 Mrs. Hughes had lived in Pekin for three months, residing in a Chinese house formerly occupied by A. c. Kirk, secretary of the Amer ican legation.
 About the first of November she SO1u HeT pOSSeSS1OnS anu IuOVeIa IO | the Pekin hotel, where she became seriously ill., suffering a nervous and mental breakdown which lasted three weeks.
 Apparently fully recovered. she then proceeded to Shanghai and from that port went to Hongkong. There she told friends she was going home via the Suez canal. She sailed from Shanghai on the s.eam- ship "Angor," arriving at Heipmong Friday. There she cabled Pekin friends, the complete message read ing:

ing that practically all the devel- opment of the airplane came during the war but since the armistice was signed the speed of the flying ma chine has been increased 200 per cent and its carrying capacity, as typifying the huge Barling bomber, has been increased more than 100 per cent"
 Before the airplane can make any more radical advances, Colonel Chandler pointed out, two big i'm provements are necessary.
 Improvements Necessary.
 1. A new and more trustworthy type of motor must be developed. A turbine motor is being worked on and mercury Yapor motor also is being developed. Most of the acci- dents are caused by defective motors.
 2. Some method of "reefing" the wings of plane must be devised When plane is rising it needs greater wing surface than when it is in the air, and once in the air 8 large wing capacity slows 1t up. If some method whereby wing surface could be increased or decreased at will were devised. a plane. with motor stopped, could spread it's wings and froat safely to earth and large plane could pull in it's wings once it had risen from the ground and go as fast as the smaller ma chimes.
 The factors favoring the air plane" Colonel Chandler said, "are it's speed and mobility. It can be maneuvered more easily than the airship and the medium speed planes can travel faster than the airship.
 But even the speed of the air plane Is limited, not because of any mechanical difficulties, but because of the human factor. When Lieuten- ant Brow broke down the world Is speed record at Mineola, 1t was esti : mated that when he turned at the stakes marking the triangle, a force of 40 times the weight of a man was exerted on the seat of the plane. Brow afterwards explained that he was almost unconscious after taking the turn.
 Straight away flying has no ef- feet on the flyer, but when he turns he must bank" or tilt his plane at an angle; then the centrifugal force factor enters and sends the blood from his head.
 "The difficulties encountered in landing and the comparatively small carrying capacity of the airplane are also factors which prohibit it's extensive use as commercial car rier.'

Christn1as Customs In Other Lands NO. 5.

Bringing in the boar's head was formerly an elaborate ceremonial ~ ing the Christmas day repast at all the mansions of the wealthy. This was the survival of the Middle Ages, when the whole boar, richly gilded, was served up at the table by way of brawn. The time-honored cus- tom still obtains, if nowhere else, at Queens College, Oxford, in memory of an incident connected with the history of that institu- tion. One day, while walking in Shotover forest, absorbed in the study of his Aristotle, young collegian was suddenly made aware of the presence of a wild boar, in consequence of the ani- nal making a rush at him open mouthed. With extraordinary presence of mind he made no more to do of it than to exclaim "Graecum est" and thrust the philosophers ethics down his as- sailant's throat; then. having ef- fectually choked the monster, went on his way rejoicing.
