So even bootlegged weapons can

is physically possible to kill people
a thousand ways, and, with long

to these-no guns; no murder.
Z Maintain the Three of Them
What is the true answer to the
questions raised between the army,
the navy and the air service, prob
ably nobody yet knows.
But what to do about it is plain
enough. 1t is to develop the air
service, but to maintain the army and
navy, too.
Other nations have not scrapped
warships because they have airships.
Until they do, neither should we.
Airplanes may have made battle
ships obsolete, but we can afford to
think SO only when our neighbors do.
Also, no sufficient case has yet
been made out for divorcing the air
service from the army and navy.
There may be arguments for unit
ing them all in one department. ST.
Regardless of prophecies and theo-
ries, these are the practical things
To do.

The possibility of the worse does
not prevent preferring the better.
The United States was the first
to see and the most ihsistent to re-
move the faults Of The Hague.
On our motion, the nations long
ago resolved to transform it from a
panel to court, whenever they
could agree on way to- choose the
judges.
Finally, under American leader
ership, that problem was solved in an
American way. Following the ex-
ample Of our own Constitution, the
voting was to be by two groups, one
dominated by the large and the other
by the small nations.
1t is the most American thing in
the world, outside of America itself.
1t has been American policy for
years, and is the only thing on
which all American parties are
agreed now.
Yet it is OPPOSED by a small group
of senatorial super-patriots, on the
claim that it is "un-American!"
And, so far are we from govern
ment by the people" that, with the
people and their representatives
both for it, this small group, so far,
is able to prevent Us from getting it..
Let it be- hoped--not long.

FAMINE SWEEPS
 IRELAND; MANY
 ARE NEAR DEATH

DUBLIN, March 1-Thousands of men, women and children are starv- ing slowly in Ireland, scant few hundred miles from glittering London and Paris, and the center of Euro pean civilization.
 The potato crop has failed--in the country famed for potatoes. The peat beds are sodden. The walls of the hungry children are rising with the mist over rain-soaked country. The winter of 1924-25 is the worst since the black year of 1S47 which starved Ireland and sent the pick of it's yourg men voyaging westward to America
 Over the bogs of Ireland hang drip some of the weaker sufferers, tie old men and the crones, and the sickly children have died because they had neither food nor fuel to withstand the rigors of the winter
 In County Donegal, in the boggy Connemara, end of Galaway, in the County Kerry, where lies beautiful Killarney, the distress is acute. Fer managh suffers too, but there the un- happy peasants have a tiny store of corn meal and they subsist on mush.
 But in the famine centers potatoes are the principal and frequently the only article of food for most of the miserable families that live in the bog, or lakeside cotes. There are no potatoes. The rain has made the peat unfit for fuel Usually the cot tages bank their fires overnight. In many cote the fire has died for the first time in nearly century.
 Conditions in Connemara are espec- tally bad In many matched hovel, father, mother and children huddle, starving and shivering through the day and night finds them huddled in the hay for warmth.
 Thousands of children in the stric- ken districts go days without food, while families stricken with illness have neither food nor fuel.
 The Bank of Ireland has subscribed S10,OO0 fori relief. Several thousands of dollars have been received from the U. s. The Ulster government is taking relief measures.
 Meantime the banshee of cold and starvation shrieks in the air of the West Coast of Ireland.

Trick of Kicking Trees To Bring Persimmons Down Causes
 High Demise.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Ark, Mar. f. -Nigger, veritable Solomon among mules, is dead, and his owner, J. R. Brewer, Of Mountain View says that higher learning led to Mig gers untimely demise.
 The mule had an inordinate fond ness for ripe persimmons and by what Brewer says was 'inductive reasoning" had learned that a good, lucky kick at the base of a persim- mon tree would bring down a show CT of the ripened fruit after the first frost. During the fall persimmon trees in the section around Mountain View bore the marks of the animals hoofs and protests had been made by tree lovers and naturalist's club.
 Niggar failed to return home this week and after a few days Brewer instituted a search. He found the mule dead with one of his hoofs inn prisoned in the low fork of a persim- mon tree.

WAR GAME ON LARGE SCALE
 S FACED FOR PAcfFlC COAST

SAN PEDRO, Cal, Mar. 3.-Hall the personnel of the United States navy will engage in what is declar- ed to be one of the greatest sham battles in American naval history, off the coast of Lower California, Mexico, some time between Feb. p and March 12, when the Pacific bat tie fleet based here, is to go forth to meet the scouting fleet from the east coast, theoretically trying to force an entrance to Los Angeles harbor.
 The combined strength of the fleets engaged in the maneuvers will be 13 battleships, 12O scout cruisers, destroyers and other war craft and 12 sQuadrons of aircraft. These will be manned by some 10000 men.
 The eastern fleet of Vice-Admiral Josiah s. McKeen is scheduled to leave its winter quarters at Guanta- namo Bay Feb. 13, but theoretically, it will be late in the month when Ad- miral s. s. Robson, commander-in-

GERMANS SHOW ACTIVITY
 IN BRITISH EAST AFRICA

LONDON, Mar. 3.--Back to the old colony evidently is the purpose of many German commercial firms who have established themselves in Kenya and Uganda, according to Colonel w. H. Franklin, Trade Com missioner in East Africa. Reporting to the Department of Overseas Trade Colonel Franklin says
 Since September, 1923, German firms have been allowed to establish their own branches in Kenya and Uganda, and today there are nearly a dozen such establishments in Nom bassa giving what can only be de- scribed as the loosest of credit con- ditions.''
 How far this is simply a means of commercial representation, or how far political eXigencies enter into the matter, it is difficult to say. It is natural that Germany should try to recapture commercially what she once dominated politically, namely, the Tanganyika territory, and it may also be a matter of national f. nancial policy to hold capital bal ances abroad in the shape of long dated bills.'

SPRAYING ROYAL DEER LEAD
 HORSE GUARDS MERRY CHASE

WINDSOR, Eng, Mar. "A de- tachment of His Majesty's Horse Guards was called out recently to round up and drive back to the roy al preserves in Windsor Park, a herd Of deer which had strayed into a nearby estate, doing much damage. The guards reached Ascot in the a.m and proceeded to sweep the woods, but after several hours work only succeeded in driving one deer back to the park. They adjourned opera tions in the afternoon.
 About 150 years ago King George III discovered that his deer had left the royal forests at Windsor and in- vaded the Sunninghill Lodge estate at Ascot. He ordered the Life Guards to drive them back and they were probably more successful than the present day guards, who found that the deer were able to get thru places in the undergrowth where a horse could not.

CONFIDENCE IN WINTHROP
PEOPLE

Those who assumed 1t would be
unsafe to have Kirby brought to a
public hearing in Winthrop have
been shown the fallacy Of that as
sumption. What might have hap
pened had he been taken on the
scene of the tragedy at the time Of
the discovery of the body of the
murdered woman may only be sur
missed. If ever there were reason
for fevered indignation and outraged
sensibilities it was then.
Winthrop people are a people
trained in self control, educated in
respect for law and the processes of
law, proud Of the high grade Of in
telligence that characterizes their
community, jealous of its gSod name.
BY due process Of law the party sus-
pected of the terrible guilt has been
apprehended; the processes Of law
are taking their course. One of
these was the public hearing.
Winthrop was the place to hold it.
Winthrop was the place where it
was held, mark of confidence in
the self-control and respect for law
and order on the part Of that COM
munity. The confidence was not
misplaced.
We hope this confidence will not
be betrayed by delays, by tech
nicalities or. by so-called experts in
mentality.
