Uncle Sam, Drum Major

Twenty years ago London was tn,
financial center OF the world. Today
New York has that place. Ten years
ago the international trade of the
world was shared in at the rate OF
less than eleven per cent of the United
States. Today our share is approx
mately seventeen per cent
Ten years ago the United States
was alleged to be isolated" from
the rest of the world Today the
world bows humbly before us.
America snaps its finger at the
world whose nations and peoples are
nearly all organized into the League
of Nations. Secretary of State
Hughes and Secretary OF the Treasury
Mellon have been in Europe this
summer. "unofiicially.' The great
banking interests of the United States
have also been "unofficially" repre-
scented in world conference during re-
cent months. The "unofficals" have
told the Officials" what to do, and
the latter have obeyed orders.
Secretary Mellon has just returned
from his European visit. and he de-
ciares that unofficial representation by
the United States is the best way to |
go after the bacon. Seymour Barker
Gilbert, jr., who has been named |
agent-general for reparations under
the Dawes plan, is prime favorite
with Mr.. Mellon. and goes from his
Office to the new job. OF course
r.Mellon did not appoint this young
man of thirty-one for the big job.
But he 'uno<icially" recommended
him.
Latin America has decided that its

some speaker; a dictuc."
.. Who were the carpet-baggers
A. Carpet-bagger was a term OF

more common understanding of the
term was its application to the class

the era OF reconstruction. These car

 So varied have been the proposals even within tho department. that Admiral Moffett, the navy air chief today appointed special board to consider future operation of the zR-3 in the light of her capabilities as shown on her transatlantic flight, and of her theoretic perform ance when inflated with hellum.
 Dr. Hugo Eckener. head of tho Zeppelin company. called at tho de- pertinent today to say farewell to Secretary Wilbur and other officers and was at once invited into confer ence on the subject of the cruisers usel He was of the opinion that ex- tensive experiments should be made with the helium imitation before any decision was reached. since the American gas has materially lower lifting ratio than the hydrogen used by the Zeppelin company. As one of the plans put forward in the bureau of aeronautics is a proposal that the ZR-3 be placed on a regular New York to London mall route. This would permit some money return, 1t Is argued. and would relieve the department of the heavy expense of operation. while at the same time assisting commercial interests by expediting important correspond ence.

BUBON|C GERM
 LIKE PNEUMOMC
Chinese Authority Says Latter Is
 Almost Always Fatal

Baltimore, Md, Nov. il. -- One germ Is responsible for both the bu. bonic and the pneumonic plagues according to Dr, Wu Lien Teh, di' rector in chief of the North Man, chTian Plague service. who Is pur- suing special research work and studies at the Johns Horkiny school of hygiene and public health here Dr. Wu is said to be one of the fore most authorities on the pneumonia plague, which recently has claimed many lives in Los Angeles.
 In the case of bubonic plague, says Dr. Wu the germ attacks the lymph glands. It is not contagious, he de. clared, being transmitted by tleas on diseased rodents.
 When it develops in the pneu ,nonlc form, however, the germ is carried by the patients cough and thus Is spread with great rapidity, the doctor asserted. This form is more fatal than the bubonic plague, Dr. Wu says, the death rate ap- preaching 100 per cent. He added that with good sanitary control and strict isolation of those infected. the penumopic plague may be speedily controlled.
 Dr. Wu said that in Manchuria, where he has worked for more than 12 years, the plague caused 6O.ooO deaths in 1910, while thousands have been victims of the disease in smal. Ter outbreaks. In that country. he said, the plague was spread by hun. ters of the Marmot, a Siberian fur. bearing animal, in some of which the germ is always carried.

SPEEDS ID WORK
 ON SUBWAY TRAIN
New Yorker Tries to Ride on
 Outside Ledge

New York, Nov. ii. - Thomas Toldyneovac, Manhattan building worked was faced with a rupture of his long standing record for prompt ness on the job when he missed his subway express train in Brooklyn today. So he clambered up 10 a narrow ledge. which festoons the rear end of the subway cars, as the train whizzed by, hoping to make his way through the end car door and thus into the train. But the door was locked, so Toldyneovac hooked four fingers into a safety lattice and proceeded job-ward like one riding the tail of a comet.
 But he didn't get to work on time.
 A special subway policeman saw the jealous Toldyneovac still cling ing to his death-tempting perch on the 60-mile-an-hour steel charger after he had whizzed three miles through Brooklyn's underground channels. The policeman had the train stopped at the next station and the jealous rider was haled to court ! on charge of disorderly conduct.

 The report touches on the army Craftsmanship question in several ways. During the 1923 target sea- son, it states, only four out of S5 rcgimental commands failed to quail fy at least so per cent of the men firing the prescribed courses, while 24 qualified 90 per cent or over and In 34 regiments the 90 per cent mark was exceeded as to machine gun markmanship.
 Plans for further improvement Of individual markmanship in the army were outlined by General Farms worth who also foynd that there was not sufficient attention to target practice at the civilian training camps. He recommended that in structions in bayonct work be aban- doned at camps in favor of increased target practice.
 General Farnsworth said he be- iieved there had been general im- provement among all infantry regi- ments, although his personal inspec- ton trips had been to limited to per init positive statement.

Inaugural Ball Is Not
 Likely to Be Held Now

Washington, Nov. 11.-President Coolidge is not inclined to hold an inaugural ball, although it was said today at the White House he had rot given consideration yet to plans for inauguration.
 White House officials said the president had made inquiry as to whether he would have to attend an inaugural ball If one were held, and expressed his disinclination for such a function.
 It is the general expectation that all of the inaugural plans will be marked by simplicity and economy.
