volve Standard Oil in the European
maelstrom. That was the world strug-
gle for oil against the British trust,
the Royal Dutch Shell, that had sue
ceeded, thru stealthy persistence, in
gaining control of most of the unde-
veloped fields in the whole world. In
this titanic struggle Standard Oil be-
came involved deeply in European en-
tanglements. In the struggle against
Britain for Mosul oil, the Standard
Oil concern united with the French
combine. The fate of France became
closely bound up with the interests of
Standard Oil. The National City
Bank, dominated by Standard Oil,
participated in the heavy export of
capital to European nations that could
be utilized in the struggle against the
British oil combine. The investments
of the Rockefeller banks followed the
trail blazed in Europe by the Morgan
bank combine. Thus, on foreign
soil, was created "a unity of interests
between Standard Oil and the House
of Morgan. The orientation of the re-
publican party toward Europe follow
ed the penetration Of Standard Oil
into the old world.

Must Smash Barrier.
THE one barrier to world supremacy
i of American imperialism is Great
Britain And the British ruling class
is fully aware of the American threat
to its existence, SO it strives with
every means at its command to block
the gigantic power of the U. S. A.
This is the fundamental political ques-
ton in the world today. In this
struggle between the two groups other
nations are mere pawns, much as they
nay strut upon the stage of history
nd translate the interests of one or
he other great powers into their
own immediate interests
For more than six years the struggle
over oil has ragged througout the
world; sometimes taking the form of
diplomatic intrigue, again breaking
out into warfare between two small
nations being used as pawns in the
game. The Turko-Greek war of 1921
%, the recent Greco-Bulgar outbreak,
were part of this struggle. The con-
flict has reached the point where an
impasse exists. To advance farther
the United States must smash British
influence.

Use that it will be lowered. But this is
a case where it will be cheaper to use
a high-priced than lower priced ar
ticle. according to DIR. Charles II. Viol
OF Pittsburgh, who reported on radon
'at the Baltimore meeting of the Amer.
ican Chemical Society.
The reason for this is that radon is
100000 times as active as radium, and
in the treatment Of cancer. therefore,
is that much more effective. while
radon is the most expensive substance
in the world said DR.. Viol lit is
found that s25 to $50 worth can be

quire the application of $4,000 to

The greatest disadvantage of the
new substance is the shortness OF its
life. Whereas radium decays to the
extent only of one-half its weight in

remainder in the next four days and

The Charleston Daily Mail also ex-

have great prospects of winning, un-
less their forces become dissipated
by divisions and factions" Apathy

Question as to the effectiveness of

Such a government by coalition is
always a precarious operation, result

Outlook for More Music.

Music lovers in Washington will
welcome the announcement made by
Edouard Albion. director Of the Wash
ington Opera Co., that the orchestra
of that organization is preparing for a
series of symphonic concerts as well
as for orchestral accomplishments for
operatic productions. 1t is said that
the first public appearance of the or
chestra in its new role will proba bly,
be in Spring festival, which will in
clude a brief session of opera in Eng
lish.
The present orchestra of Sc pieces
of the Washington Opera Co. will be
the backbone Of Washington's pro-
posed new symphonic organization,
which it is hoped will receive sufficient
community support to found a real
symphony orchestra in this city.
Washington is one of the few cities Of
Importance in the United States with
out its own symphony orchestra.
Leading musicians of the city make
up the Washington orchestra, many
of whom have sacrificed higher pay in
its development.
Washington is distinctly a music
loving community. This is evidenced
by the generous patronage given the
Philadelphia Symphony, the Boston
symphony and other concert organiza-
tions. There is increasing interest in
chamber music here, also, and there
is qualification in the passage by Con-
gress of joint resolution authorizing
the use of donation by Mrs. Fred
eric s. Coolidge for an auditorium in
addition to the Library of Congress
Building to be devoted to that class
of music.
All lovers of music will look for.
ward to the ultimate perfection of a
Washington symphony orchestra. The
talent Is existent, an enthusiastic audi
ence is assured and the initiative by

The first missionaries who visited
Natal In the days Of Chaka the Great,
that talented monster, suffered acute

stuck heroically to their jobs. One re-
calls a story about Dingaan, Chaka's s
successor, he who later treacherously
massacred the Beers under Retief.
When warned that his sins would un-
doubtedly send him and his adherents
to hell, he had vast bonfire kindled.
and then, when it was burning most

younger warriors to stamp it fat"
This it did, at a cost of three -fourths
OF its strength, to illustrate for the
benefit of the missionaries just what
their royal master would do to the
fires of Gehenna.
Stuff like this was too good to go
