Britain Parallels America
In League of Nations Debate

the Germany of resurgent Junkerdom."
To end this brief summary OF pres-s.
ent British political opinions, ! think
l should add that for the first time in
all my British visits, during the
peace conference and since, there is a.
pretty general acceptance of tha>
view that the United States is def,
nitely out OF the league. This con-
viction has been expressed to me
lately by some OF the most ardent
friends of the league, champions Of,
American participa ton.
One cannot disguise the fact that ac-
companying this conclusion is theS
feeling that the present British sits
uation is largely a result of Ameri- !.
can detection: that, in a certain
sense, by refusing to cooperate with
Britain we have driven her back intoc
Europe with not attractive conse-,
quences. Naturally, as a consequences
of this fact, debt settlement with
America Is less popular in London
than at any moment since tho war. L
do not mean by that to say that the
American is badly treated: that he
suffers any form Of discomfort or Of
inconvenience; that would be ab- :
surdly inexact. There Is only a rather
subtle sense that one is regarded
rather as a foreigner than as reIa-7
tive in a land where for many years
people have been accustomed to diff
ferentiate between Americans and
foreigners. Yet one should imme.
diately qualify by saying that we re-
main the best treated of visiting for-1
eigners. After all, too, the position
we occupy is that which we have de-
liberately chosen.

Seeks Standard Form
For Farm SURVEYS

Experience having proved that many
efforts to euro the Ills of agriculture
go wrong because no one knows what
ills are to be cured, the agricultural
bureau Of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States is preparing a
standard form OF agricultural survey
which Is to serve the purpose of what
the doctors would call systematic
diagnosis.
Many commercial organiza tions
throughout the country are trying to
harness up with agriculture, within
their trade areas. Some succeed ad-
mirably, but others fail because they
have not discovered what is the mat
ter with agriculture IN their section.
Crop rotation and calf clubs will not
remedy a condition due to a tax sys-
tenn which discourages the landowner
and encourages tenant farming. Nor
will it compensate for a defective
marketing system.
The agricultural bureau Of the ma
tional chamber believes that, how
ever commendable these hit-or-miss
efforts might be, much more can be
accomplished by laying bare the ills
Of agriculture in any trade area first
and then devising a remedy. The
work of formulating a standard form
Of survey which will accomplish this
purpose is now under way and will
soon be available to commercial or
ganizations interested in agricultural
improvement.

Cigarettes Displacing Cigars
In American Smokers Favor

| cigarette consumption was 20 per cent
higher than it was in 1922. The
difference between the 20 per cent
of one year and the 4 per cent of
the next, as manufacturers see it,
represents the gap between a period
Of prosperity and one of curtailment.
Whatever the correctness of this
opinion, the fact remains that the
smokers of the United States are to-
day supplying Uncle Sam with his
third largest item of revenue. Only
the income tax and the tariff lead
tobacco as producers of funds for the
Federal Treasury. In 1924 smokers
paid the Government more than
1925, 100000 for those little blue rev.
enue stamps found on all cigar and
cigarette consumption was 20 per cent
sum viii be even larger-it probably
will reach approximately $1,000. 900
for every day of the year.
Big Jump in Tnx Returns.
Ten years ago, or in 1915. the tax
levied by Uncle Sam on smokers was
somewhat less than $4,000, 900
hardly one-fourth Of the sum collect
ed last year. But in 1915 only one
fourth Of the number of cigarettes
was consumed, as compared with
1924.
The widespread use of the cigarette
is attributed here to two main fac
tors. The first of these is the in
crease in the number of woman
smokers. Nobody here or elsewhere,
so far as can be found, has anything
tangible by which to measure this in
crease. Everybody knows that more
women are smoking today than ever
smoked before and that the present
large number of woman smokers is
growing by leaps and bounds. But
if you ask a Treasury official to esti-
mate the number of woman smokers
he is likely to throw up his hands
and admit defeat. They all tell you
it can't be done.
The second great factor in running
up cigarette consumption to its pres
ent mark Of about 1900 annually for
every adult in the country is put
down as advertising. Four great to-
bacco companies dominate the market,
standing as giants above their nu-
merous small competitors. And three
of those companies have spent mil
lions of dollars each in advertising
the merits of their particular brands
Of cigarettes.

Sixty-nine billion cigarettes in
1924, Six billion, seven hundred
thousand cigars! Such was the tax.
paid output of American factorie.
last year. The figures are official
having been collected for each month
of the year by the Bureau Of Inter
nal Revenue and footed up by this cor
respondent to show the grand total for
1924.
No industry in the United States
with the exception of the new dis
covered radio, shows so marvellous a
growth during the past few years
as that of the cigarette manufacturer
Nine years ago cigarette production,
the official figures show, was some
what less than $4,000, 100000. Manu-
facture has increased fourfold with
in the period.
But the figures tell another story
too: the passing of the cigar. -Four
years ago, or during 1920, more than
S,000,000,0o0 cigars were made and
sold over the counter in the Unite
States. Since that time the cigar
appears to have declined steadily In
favor. Last year, cigar production
was more than Is per cent below that
of 1920. With the single exception
of 1915. last year recorded the small
est number of cigars manufactured
In this country In ~ years.
Cigar Is in Retreat.
Evidently, the cigarette is rout-
ing the cigar in the contest for the
smok ers' favor. And here again the
figures tell still another story: The
extent of the sharp industrial de-
preston during the Spring and
Summer of 1924. For when business
slows down, experience shows, the
cigarette industry is among the first
to feel the contraction. That is
shown clearly by the returns for
1919 and 1920, the one year marking
the beginning of our postwar de-
preston, the other the height Of our
Industrial activity. AS business
slumped during that period, the use
of cigarettes decreased more than 10
per cent, the total consumed falling
from $4,000. 100000 to f,000,000, 900.
Last years secondary depression is
reflected by growth of less than
per cent in the number of ciga-
rettes consumed as compared with
1928 consumption. And in 1928

Wrangel Predicts
Overthrow of Reds

Cen Wrange1. who was recently
ar ~ointed acting "commander-in-chi
of he Russian army" by the Grand
Duke Mix olaf Nikolaievitch, is giving
>olor to the reports that the mon
archist emigres are planning a cam
paign against the bolsheviks for the
present year. In a message to officers,
soldiers and sailors who still recog-
nize his authority he says:
Away with doubts! The worst is
behind US The red mist which en-
veloped the world is dispensing. The
day is near when the red star will set,
and the rending of the red veil will
disclose the face of national Rus
sia. The coming year will
bring an end to the period of tribula-
ton, the Russian regiments will
gather under the leadership Of the
supreme -in-chief and the
wounded Russian eagle will spread
its mighty wings"
What purported to be details of the
belligerent plans Of the Nikolaist Sec
tion Of the Russian monarchists were
printed a few days ago in a Munich
paper. 1t was stated that "a fresh
Judenitch expedition" was to be Set
on foot with the help of France, Po-
land, CZechoslovakia and the Balkan
Statesy Poland was to be rewarded
for her assistance by receiving part
of the Ukraine. 1t was further stated
that the White Army was to concen-
trate on German soil. AS the paper
quoted is known to be in touch with
the circle of the rival Russian mon
archist leader, the Grand Duke Cyril
Vladimirovitch. doubtless the state
ments repeated above come from his
supporters. They may, therefore,
have aimed only at discrediting Niho-
lai Nikolaievitch by representing him
as ready to betray his country to Po-
land, detestation of whom is the only
bond which at present unites all
Russians.

Everyday Religion
BY RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN, d. d.,
Bishop OF Washington.
Not Talk on Theology, But Upon Life
and Right Living.

love was that a man should lay down
his life for his friends. Our whole
system of religion. while 1t recognizes
the value of precepts, demands the
practical application of these precepts
to life itself.
A man or q nation never rises to
higher dignity or greater power than
when in the act of serving others.
We cherish the names of such men
and women as John Howard and Lady
Nightingale. Indeed, the period in
which such lives are lived takes on a
character that gives it charm and
distinction. Our Christian faith, II 1t
means anything, means service, not
self" We talk about the persuasive
power of the preaching of such men
as Beecher and Brooks. but the
mightiest power exercised to combat
religious Indifference and apostasy is
a life that spends itself in deeds of
service for others.
The heroisms of peace are no less
distinguished or worthy than those Of
war. 1t may be that some humble
mother whose name and deeds are
unknown and unheralded is worthier
of praise than he who, with the ap-
plause Of his fellows. proves his fidel-
ity and heroism on the field of action.
The bread winner who, in spite Of
physical weaknesses and burdening
cares, carries on, and that without
complaint, gets no applause and re-
ceives no favors-but who will deny
him his need of praise? There are
unknown soldiers in our homes and
factories, in our classrooms and labo-
ratories, men and women, and some
times children of tender age, who are
among the foremost of those who are
entitled to decorations and honors.
The call to service is insistent. There
Is no draft measure that can effec-
lively press it upon us, but If 1t be
unanswered the world stagnates,
character itself loses its finest quail
ties, the noblest virtues we possess
are atrophied, and the deeper joys of
life lose their significance.
The conquering and Irresistible
power of Christ resides in His life Of
ceaseless service. "He went about
doing good" What finer word might
be written of Him? Having loved
His own, He loved them unto the
end" Death means nothing to such
a one. 1t is the hour of liberation.
the crowning of the victor. There
are SO many places where service is
needed, so many lives that are needy.
so many unfrequented paths to real
glory, that there is not one among us
but may find his task, and, finding it,
experience his deepest satisfaction
and peace.

Standardizing Big Cranes

Experience has proved that from
the point of view of Simpliflcation
there is no essential difference be-
tween carpet tacks and Acton loco

many types and sizes, for which they
are spending good money wastefully,
and under the tutelage of the Depart
ment Of Commerce they are prepar-
ing to get them down to an economi-
cal basis.

Rhodesian Skull ~'
Believed New Type

The skull which was found among
the prehistoric human remains at
Broken Hill. Rhodesia, in 1921, and is,
believed to be the oldest in existence
Is that of type OF man unknown be-
fore. .
This statement was made by Prof
Sir Arthur Keith, conservator of thee
Royal College of Surgeons Museum,
in lecture at the College of Sur
geons in London. =
1T is" he said, zone Of the most
important discoveries of ancient man
ever made, because we cannot fit him
in with any kind OF man with which
We are familiar. :
He is an absolutely new type to-
us-a type of man that we had no..
idea OF before. He Is a man OF ex-
tremely primitive type. SO primitive,
SO unlike other races living, that wss
have to create a new species for him.,
He estimated that this man Lived
anywhere between 100000 and zoo, 600
years ago.
He added: 'The bones found show
that this man could walk In an up-
right position and was feet 8 inches.
or a little more in height.
Although the skull has.stronr =. -

was not so very low down in the scale
