MOVESDUE
At COMING
SESSION
Congress to Take Up Court
and Other Ideas Involved.
Borah's Position
BY WILLIAM HARD

The question of war and peace
will press upon Washington next
winter as it never pressed upon
it before, even during the great
League of Nations fight.
In preceding articles it has
been pointed out that the struggle
over the permanent court of in
ternational justice will begin to
approach its climax as soon az
the Senate re-convenes in De-
cember.
It has also been pointed out
that the emphatic American In
terest in a worldwide further
reduction Of ornaments will force
the United States into considering
the following question:
Is it willing to repay France,
for instance, for reducing it's
ornaments by agreeing to "con-
suit" with France regarding dan
gers of aggression against France
and also regarding dangers Of
aggression against Frances little
allies, particularly Poland?
Great Debate Expected
That will be the situation, and it
may call forth an even greater
debate on war and peace than at
l..
League of Nations and or the
Treaty of Versailles In 1919.
The humanity most spectacular
element in the situation will be
that Senator Borah of Idaho, as
chairman of the Senate committee
on Foreign Relations, will then
probably proceed to the debating
climax of his life.
Already supposed to be the
worlds greatest debater, he finds
himself in a position in which. IN
order to maintain his ideas against
a majority OF his fellow Senators,
he will be obliged to out-do even
himself.
Borah Favored Treaty
He is enormously interested ir
the limitation of ornaments. He
was the man originally and pri-
marty responsible for the convey
ing of the Washington Arms Limi-
tation Conference in 1921. That
conference, besides bringing forth
a certain naval limitation treaty,
which Borah favored. brought forth
Four-Power Treaty Ia treaty for
Consultation against aggression
in the Pacificl, which Borah OPP
posed. He regarded it as an "alli-
ance.''
1t is now written clearly on the
cards Of fate that il the United
States hopes to take part in limit
ing ornaments on the continent Of
Europe, it is likely to be obliged to
agree to consult" with certain
European nations against "aggres-
sion" in Europe. Such "consulta-
ton Borah again would be obliged
by his views to denounce as a new
alliance"
Opposes Permanent Court.
He therefore, both against the
Permanent Court Of International
Justice las now organized) and
against the possibility. Of American
participation in alliances" in Eu-
rope, will be obliged to come for
ward with Ehe fight Of his life on
behalf of his idea regarding the
"Outlawry of War"
That idea stands the chance, there
fore, Of being one Of the outstand
ing ideas in the public life Of the

Sideligh,, on Early Days of Putnam's
 Travelling Salesman

That George H. Taylor. for many years a resident of Putnam, until death suddenly claimed him two weeks ago. was known as "Whistling' Tavlor and as the Yankee Whistler" older residents of Putnam knew. That he was with P. T. Barnum when the veteran snowman was just start ing his circus days. was not known to but very few until told in The Pat riot. Now comes Charles R. Mont eomerv of 0neco to throw further sidelights on the early life of Mir. Tavlor as a whistler and tells of not ables entertained by the former Put nam man. Mfr. Montgomery pays Mir. Tavlor the following tribute:
 ePerhaps there is no place on earth where Yankee Whistler was better known than in Packerville. so pardon me for saving a word about the pass ing of the old man. Geor0e H. Tay- Tor. father of tSouvenirl Billy Taylor, was known when I was a boy as Yankee Whistler He drove n Yan- kee notions wagnn through Connecti- cut and Rhode Island. and was one of the best fellows. greatest story tellers and most expert whistlers that ever lived.

He not only whistled over this part of the eoun- try. often stopping to take up col- lection to give to some needy person. but when ?. T. Barnum had Ton Thumb on the old circus grounds in Danielsonville he whistled for the little fellow at Barnum's request. He whistled the Arkansaw Traveller for President Grant up in Woodstock. and entertained Henry Ward Beeeher on the porch of the Mortlake House in Brooklyn.
 "The Moeking Bird. Home Sweet Home. The Last Rose of Summer. and the Arkansaw Traveller were his masterpieces. as I remember. Some times when Cert. Cady got tied down in Plainfeld. he'd whistle Money Musk Jenny Lind's Favorite Polka. and the Virginia Reel The world was hrightened considerably in the old days hv Yankee Whistler and he has gone to his well-earned rest and peace"

Washington. D. C.. Dec. 24.-Does Washington believe in Santa Clausf
 Washington? What a question! Washington, the rendezvous of poli- ticians: the city which turns ideals into politics. Washington, the center of dazzling and shallow and selfish society. Washington. the home and breeding-plaee of sordid corruption, it's latest bribery scandal not yet out of the newspapers. Indeed, what a question!
 And yet
 It is the day before Christmas in Washington and folks are going to work. There appears to be difference in the atmosphere. The tens of thou sands of government workers, girls and men, few Of whom call this city their home, seem more cheerful with a mysterious. suppressed happiness. Sprigs of Christmas green appear in their hands. Eyes shine and lips are laughing.
