Work of coodhue'. Brother

Editor Putnam Patriot.
 Dear Editor While reading re gently of the death of Mir. Bertram Goodhue I recalled the two stained glass windows in the rear of Wood stock Academy hall which were de. signed by his brother Mr, Harry Good. hue. Miss Jessy Mcclellan, herself an artist, as well as a teacher in the Academy was ever ready to create love for good pictures among her pu- pills. as we'll as to make the Academy more attractive--her advice was ofter sought by the graduating classes m their choice of a parting gift to the school. with the result that an un- usual number of good pictures are found on the walls of the school rooms. Through Miss Mcclellan the heIp of Mir. Goodhue was enlisted and through his kindness the designs, one representing science and one philoso- phy were made possible for the wind. ows. One window was the gift of A graduating class and one was given bv friends of the Academy.
 IL may be fitting to recall these gifts sometimes. 'lest we forget"

Of the Eighteenth Amendmsn.

Of the Eighteenth Amendment Editor The Patriot
 Sir.-If. as President Nicholas Nj Butler contends. I've now have a na- tion-wide traffic in intoxicating liquors which IS unlicensed. illicit and untax- ed. "We have invited and induced a spirit and 4 habit of lawlessness which are quite without precedent and which reach from the highest ranks in the nations life to the lowest and most humble,e are these charges refutcd by making personal attacks upon President Butler?
 Calling President Butler of Col umbia University a traitor to the best interests of the republic" is no answer Co his plain statement of facts regarding the 18th amendment. Those opposed to the 18th amendment, on moral grounds, would, if the amend ment was repealed, have all the sins and crimes attributed to the use of lianer laid at their door while. on the other hand, those in favor of the present, so called prohibition law are responsible for tine bootlegging, im- moral and criminal acts that have resulted because of the 18th amend ment.
 It is no more a crime to violate the 18th amendment than it is for pub lie officials to violate other provisions of the Constitution in their effor' 3 to enforce the prohibition law.

Legionnaire Opposes
Bonus for Veterans

To the Editor of The Star;
Through the columns of The Star
l desire to suggest that those who
feel that 1 should resign from the
American Legion due to my anti
time, stationery, postage and energies
in writing to me to that enect AS
one of the incorporatorS and charter
members of the Georgia Washington
Post. No. 1.-The pioneer post-of the
American Legion, 1 always have had,
now have and ever shall continue to
have the best interests of that veter-
ans organization at heart and upper
most in my thoughts. In my hum bl e
fight against a governmental bonus
for ie-bodied veterans of the world
war believe that l am best serving
my country, my home and my former
military associates.
The American Legion may decide
to expel me, and it is free to so
act at any time it desires to discon-
tlnue my active membership therein
However, 1 will not be gagged by
any national, state, country nor post
representative of the American Lee
gion. Being fully convinced that at
least SIS per cent of the Legionnaires
are opposed to a bonus for our able
bodied veterans 1 intend to use every
means at hand to let Congress and
our other taxpayers know that the
veterans themselves are not demand
ing, nor are they anxious for, a. bonus
Tor their able bodied comrades of the
late war. Certain national officers
OF the American Legion are endeayor-
ing to force Congress into this Ieeis.
Iat1on. As a Legionnaire 1 intend TO
compat them, but fairly, honestly and
openly. J. BENTLEY MULFORD.

This enterprise was conceived in

A conference of governors of southern

Senator Peppers Address.

Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania,
making the keynote" address to the
Maine republican state convention in
Portland yesterday, may be regarded
as disclosing one line of policy which
the republicans will adopt in their
campaign to offset the possible dam
aging effects Of the Oil and other in
that the Senate democrats, in en-
deavoring to infiict injury upon the re-
publican party, have succeeded in dis
crediting both of the great political
parties
To such an extent, he maintained,
mas this gone that IAN irresponsible
and highly dangerous third party has
actually suggested itself to the ex-
tremists as practical possibility. The
democrats have aimed at us and hit
America"
This assertion is calculated to draw
the fire of the democratic senators.
Senator Pepper is a commanding fig
ure in the republican party, and his
words are not likely to be allowed to
pass unchallenged as of some incon-
spicuous and irresponsible person. A
hot retort may be expected forthwith
nom the democratic side.
How much foundation there is for
Senator Peppers apprehension of the
imminency and peril of third party
will be shown June II. when the radi-
Gals, the farmer-laborites and other in
dependent groups meet in convention
at st. Paul and invoke the assistance
of the labor group. No third party
can be very dangerous without the
general participation of labor, and up
to this time a large element of labor
is fighting shy of an Independent
movement, especially among its most
influential leaders.

Marine in Last Fight.
Old Timer With Record of Valol
and Sportsmanship Ill.

To the Editor of The Star:
Out in Denver, Colo, on 4 cot, sick
and all in, lies a marine by the name
of Williams, better known as Jimmy
Lynch. Old timers in the corps still
remember him as one of the out
standing figures of the Philippines in
the years of 1907-191O. who fought
all the boys out there and was cen.
sidered about the best they had.
And he was a ball player. He
played short on the Cavite ball team
and anybody that was out there at
that time will know that he was there
with the goods. Eddie Summers, one
of the old Detroit pitchers, ought to
remember him, for a ball team from
the States was, out there at the time
and Jimmy soaked one of his offerings
for a two-bagger and won the game in
the last half of the ninth.
He was on the brigade team in
Cuba and was a star there. Also in
Vera Cruz. Then he came to the Dis
trict and played in the Government
League. He went over with the now
famous 5th Brigade, United States
marines, and played after the war was
over on the division teams in Ger
many. He was a marine all the way
through, a good soldier and fighter
IT ever there was one, but now he is
almost at the end of his rope, as he
lies on his cot out there, l guess think
ing when the time comes for him to
go to the great beyond. as there is not
much chance with the disease he has.
He is one marine that the corps may
be proud of and he is making his last
fight
l have often heard that he would
like to read The Star and / know il
will cheer him up bit for some one to
think of him in this way.

HENLEY.

GAIIi-Curcf Had to Teach Herself.
Although her ancestors were prom
inent as musicians, and she was sur
rounded by culture and affiuence,
Amelita CALI when a child gave lit
tie promise of being a singer, and
when her voice was discovered she
had to teach herself
She was born in Milan, Italy. and
when at four years of age she sang to
her dolls her voice was merely a piping
one When she was six her mother
first took her to the La Scala Opera,
but she was as much interested in the
ballet and acting as in the singing.
She became a piano pupil at the
Royal Conservatory at Milan at twelve
and when she was sixteen her playing
won a gold medal Then her father
met financial reverses and she had to
teach
BY chance Pietro Mascagni, the com
poser, heard her play and sing. Your
playing is no better than that of hun
dreds of others, but there might be a
possibility in your voice." he told her.
Without funds she had to teach her
self. studying the role Of Gilda in
city, she when twenty. went to the
Costanzi Theater, in Rome, and applied.
Her appearances there were well re-
ceived and she appeared in Egypt, then
again in Italy. Soon afterward she
married Luigi Curci, portrait painter.
Engaged as second coloratura soprano
to appear in South America, she studied
en- route, but when she arrived at
Montevideo she had to wait many weeks
because the leading soprano would not
permit her being cast. Finally the
prima donna's illness gave Galli-Curci
her chance and she became the star.
Three years of touring, followed. Then
she realized that her dramatic inter-
pretations of roles was poor and she
took a rigid course in acting.
Arriving in New York early in the
summer of 1916, she waited until No
yember before signing a contract and,
when twenty-Seven, made her first
American appearance in Chicago. Next
she won New York and then the entire
country. 1t is said she made 500, 900
that season.
And today she, at thirty-four is con-
sidered the greatest coloratura soprano
in the world.

japanese Flock to South America

What in time may become a new
japanese question" is involved. in the
present fiocking of japanese emigrants
to South America, especially to Brazil
and Peru, the two countries having
the most liberal immigration laws. 1t
is estimated that already there are
40, 900 japanese settled in Brazil and
increasing one. The Toxic government
has made a large appropria ton to as
sist the movement for colonization in
South America, and during this month
it is planned that 1000 japanese shall
be exported to Brazil and established
there.
While Americans cannot fail to view
this movement with some concern, as
holding the germ of possible future
misunderstanding, it is impossible not
to sympathize with the dilemma in
which the Japanese government and
people find themselves. Emigration is
to them a matter of absolute necessity.
The japanese islands are crowded, the
area capable of cultivation is restrict
ed and the population is increasing at
the rate of 100000 q year Already
Japan is under the necessity of i'm
porting annually millions Of pounds of
rice, and food imports will have to be
on a constantly increasing scale. If
ever a nation had need of colonies for
exploitation and development along
peculiar racial lines Japan has that
need, but except for Korea and For
mosa, already densely populated, ia
pan is without colonial possessions.
possible happy solution of Japan s
problem was overlooked at the peace
conference at Versailles. If some of
the German colonial possessions in
Africa had been awarded to Japan
colonization Of the territory probably
would have absorbed the overflow
population for generations to come. A
japanese colonial empire, settled by
Japanese and administered by them,
should present no. points of conflict
with the Caucasian races. Japan, as a
nation, is not at all an undesirable
neighbor in the community of nations.
1t is only when Japanese and Cau-
casians, as individuals. try to live
within the same political and social
boundaries that there is antagonism.
This may be no more the fault of the
Japanese than of the Caucasian char
acter, but the fact remains that the
two races do not mingle, and that it
is better for both that they should re-
main apart. Where the Caucasians are
already established it is only natural
of the japanese. The japanese would
be equally resentful under reversed
circumstances.

Experts Or Politicians?
From the New Republic


Exactly how far the hope that the
commission of experts would disen-
tangle the reparations problem and
effect an accord between GERMANY
and the allies can only be fully known
when the complete report is published.
Enough semi-inspired items of. in
formation have, however, been given
to the press to cast grave doubt upon
the expert character of the forth
coming report. We are told that the
experts are divided, the French and
Belgians on one side and the British
on the other. The Americans are SUD-
posed to be neutral and working to
erect compromise. If this is true,
politics has entered into the experts
work, instead of being left to the
statesmen who are to accept the re-
port or reject it. The compromise will
De political compromise, not an ad-
1ustment of discordant economic
views. If the press forecasts of the
concrete proposals of the commission
of experts have any authority, the in
duence of politics is already manifest
The root of the reparations prob
lem remains, as 1t has been since the
beginning, the excessive demands that
are made upon Germany. The total
sum should have been fixed at the
start at such a figure that Germany
couiu nave hoped, through LABOR ana
thrift, to liberate herself in reason
able time. If the commission of ex-
perts had dared to fix such total
the problem would have been capable
of solution. Then there would have
been point in placing mortgages on
the railway system, the industries and
lands, with the provision that such
mortgages would be Cancelled on pay
ment of their face value. The nation
and it's property owners would have
been offered an opportunity to work
themselves free.

intensely inquisitorial generation, the
prospective Attorney General sustains
himself well. He is disclosed as honest,

full confidence of President Coolidge.
He fits in harmoniously and efficiently

Tourist CAMPS.

Search for an automobile camp site
Is under way. Many people are travel
ing by automobile, and. prefer totcamp
instead of taking quarters at hotel
and putting up the. car in garage
Motor tourists find that a costly way
to travel, and if they had to paylhotel
bills many would not go far from
home. Various cities have tourist
camps where there are water mains,
sewers, public lights, policereulations
and other trappings Of civilization.
Washington established a camp in
East Potomac Park, but it Was not as
satisfactory to campers as facilities
given them in other cities. 1t was
close to the city, or in the city, and
the outlook was fine, but it was with
jout paved ways, and was a.muddyplace
when rain came. 1t was surely not O
lovely camp in the eyes of pilgrims to
the park, and it Will probably not be
easy to have a tourists camp which
will be a thing of beauty. The Poto-
mac Park camp may.be abandoned in
order that the park may be developed
in accordance with its plan. The au-
thorities found what. they thought a
good site on the Arlington experiment
farm. That land is under control of
the Department of Agriculture, and
the department refused to permit the.
establishment of a tourists camp
there. 1t would interfere with .impor-
tant agricultural experiments. Search
is being made for a camp site on land
under control of the War Department,
and there is large acreage of such
land in and near Washington. 1t
| ought to be practicable to seti aside a
bit of public land for a tourists camp,
give it water and sewer service, pub
lie light and police protection.
