c. o. P. NOTES

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June S.-Four years ago Harry NJ. Daugherty was sitting in hotel room at Chicago, con- ferring with the leaders of the republic an party, engaged in the occupation of nominating a future president.
 Daugherty spent Sunday in hotel suite here, conferring with local Ohio politicians, trying to induce the state convention delegation to elect a na- tional committeeman friendly to him.
 Such is the charge that four years have wrought
 S. Kinsley of Rutland, Vt, the home state of President Coolidge, is- delegation today poking fun at a re- delegatio ntoday poking fun at a re- cent announcement that the LaFollette independent movement, to be launched in Cleveland on July 4. would give that date a new significance in our national life after this year.
 The Vermont delegation is quartered in the same hotel with the Wisconsin delegation, headed by Robert NJ. La Toilette, Jr., son of the Wisconsin sena- tor who has been mentioned as an in- dependent candidate. Vermont beat Wisconsin and La Toilette to it, because July 4 is the birthday of Calvin Coolidge and if Plymouth, Vt, doesn't stage a bigger celebration on Gals birthday than tha convention of political progressives' which LaFollette's crowd proposed here, then we don't know Plymouth and the home town Coolidge club" the state ment said.

to get security by pursuing a policy which will allow Germany to turn her attention to trade, commerce, and inter nal organization rather than one which forces Germany to concentrate her energies, as, alsas She has lately been concentrating them, on hatred to France.
 If France will only lend her aid to the ablishment of German pros perity, OF at any rate. will abandon her veto on Germany's recovery, she will get the reparation payment she desires, and also be on the way to obtaining the security which she desires even more than separations.
 If once France shows the req asonable- ness which a large part of her states men are showing, we shall not only get the reparations problem settled, but also get settlement of those interallied debts which are haunting Europe.
 Germany, again, in spite of her min isterial troubles is distinctly on the upgrade. Large portions of her people are suffering, but there is no reason why what has happened in Austria should not happen in Germany.
 Upon Safer Paths
 At the same time, there can be litlte doubt that the smaller nations of Europe are wisely entering upon safer paths. The result of all the talk of French alliances has taught them a lesson. Czechoslovakia, Jugo- -Slavia, Hungary, Poland and Rumania are be- ginning to realize that alliances with a militaristic France are not only dan gerous in themselves but might very easily be repudiated on a change on ministry.
 It is true that Russia remains the great political enigma, but even here the omens are growing more favorable. If we can succeed in letting the tides of commerce once more flow, and re- flow between Russia and Britain, we have little doubt that the result will be to help on the refounding of Europe.
 Remember that Europe is at bottom in a thoroughly sound position for trade revival. There is no dearth of people in Europe. It is full of skillful, energetic workers, managers, and trad CTS of all sorts. It is also full of we'll equipped factories, and it has developed the scientific use of the various forms of power to a high degree of perfec- tion.
 Europe has been under spell, which has paralyzed her, but the power of that spell is passing away, and when 1t has passed the wheels will begin to move again, the loose links in the chain of exchange will be quickly recoupled, and in comparatively short space of time men will have forgotten the perils anr perplexities of the postwar epoch.

LONDON, June s.-Europe is not dead or dying. Tbere is, of course, all ways the possibility of its commit ting suicide, but there is not likelihood of such contingency.
 While the will to live exists there is no need for alarm. And the desire to live is intense. That is why there is so much unrest, so deep a sense of anxiety, so insistent a demand for remedies.
 Not Fatal Sign
 Malaise and physical disturbance are not fatal signs. What the doctor dreads in patient is lethagry, incapac- ity to react to treatment, indifference, absence of volitioI. It is only when the desire to live is extinct that one need give up hope. Not till l see the nations of the continent sink into a dumb satisfaction or dissatisfaction shall despair.
 There are, however, much better grounds for believing in the continued vitality of Europe than mere negative proofs. If we look at Europe, nation by nation, there is abundant promise.
 Take Italy first. One has only to visit Italy to realize that she is not dying. Her people are full, not merely of hope, but of something even more important They are full of confidence. This confidence has acted like charm. Italy. is showing us in .~the best and most impressive way the truth of the dictum that it is mot on a material but on moral basis that the greatness, yes, and also the wealth, of nations rests. r.-
 France Hopeful
 If we turn to France the prospect is also hopeful. There are signs, and they grow stronger day by day, that the nation is giving up the evil and delirious dream of an empire founded on q policy of hate, fear and black mercenaries. apds the inevitable in- security which &Such policy must create.

POISON GASuSED
 BY CORPUSCLES
British Surgeon Explodes Theory Of Devouring
 Germs

Copyright 1924, in United States and Can- ada, by North American Newspaper AL liance. for The Age-Herald.)
 LONDON, June S.-Sir Almroth Wright, eminent British surgeon, has attacked the long established theory that the white. eorpuscles of the blood de- vour disease germs. While he finds that corpuscles repe1 the germs, he says there is no contact between them, and that the defence of the corpuscles consist in their emitting secretion which either kills the invaders Or prevents their massing in colonies.
 Dr. Wright displays lantern slide of drop of bleed, with the attacking army of germs drawn up at one side and the corpuscular home guard" at the other. He explains that the cor puscles have made the intervening open space uninhabitable for germs by their own secret-formula poison gas. His theory, with the lantern slide views, was recently explained in lecture to students at St. Mary's Hospital.
 If Dr. Wright's hypothesis is sus- tained, it will have a profound effect on bacteriology, as it will make possible the use of meteorological methods in the early stages of the disease

Phones Dead I'm Lightning Storm
 Linemen of the Southern Bell Tele- phone and Telegraph company were busy Sunday night locating and re- pairing a number of wires to Bessemer that were put out of working order by lightning or rain during a light thun- derstorm that visited that section. About 100 telephones in Bessemer were reported affected, but it was thought that they would be restored to opera tion by early Monday morning. Many residents of Bessemer were forced to communicate with Birmingham through Ensley during the night. All except two of the trunk wires in the main lipe cable from Bessemer to Birmingham were grounded" according to tele- phone company officials.

 Tt seems almost waste of time. after my long known public career for it to be necessary for me to say anything about any individual. or group of individuals or any organizat ton that questions the nationality, the race, the creed or the religion of any American.

places in which there is a great deal
said about idealism. or an idealistic
Interpretation of tho universe. One
Is the average high school graduation
essay. Youth Is by nature idealistic:
Its lneXperience and lack of knowl-
edge of the world make idealism easy.
However, poverty stricken these
youthful orations may be in ideas,
they never lack for ideals. Another
Is the ritual of the average fraternal
order. Although much of the work
is secret. those parts which are used
in public ceremonies are ornate with
idealistic expressions. These orders
differ in name, although their gen.
eral purposes are much the same and
there Is a striking similarity in the
instruction given to the initiates. A
third is the political party platform,
the promises Of which, If carried in
to legislation, would bring on the
millennium over the weekend. A
visitor from Mars would have only
to scrutinize these three sources to
conclude that we are incorrigible
idealists. We may smile at the fervid
exhortations of high school orators
or the fiorid rituals of fraternities,
but after all the world would be
roerer without them.
Ideals carry an implication of a
recognition that all is not we'll with
the world as 1t is. The very exist
ence of ideals points to dissatisfac-
ton with things as they are; but
idealists are constructive in their
criticisms, Their dissatisfaction not
only points out what is wrong with
the world, but alongside it pictures
the world that ought to be.
"The first loyalty of an edu-ated
man-to TRUTHS a loyalty to the
world as It is. The second loyalty
to ideals--is a loyalty to the world
al 1t ought to b. The third-to duty
lis loyalty to the world at is must
be, If only We do our part.
we may be very sure that In the
end loyalty to duty will bring con-
tentment. Duty IL not like some life
insurance policies; its rewards reed
not be deferred until after death. You
can get present enjoyment out of
drudgeries."
