The Naval Flyers Turn.

American Army flyers circumnavi-
flyers are going to explore the un-
trodden wastes Of the frozen North.
He is a sluggish-blooded citizen who
cannot get a thrill out Of today's big
news story. Our military aviation
services may be handicapped by lack
Of equipment and by meagerness Of ap-
preparations made. but when it comes
to enterprise and cool daring we are
not required to doff our hats to any
nation. When the time comes, as it
will. that these services have equip
ment to match their personnel. Amer
lea will have no need to fear rivalry
in the air.
What a stirring adventure it will
be! An area Of more than million
square miles of the earth's surface
never before explored, region which
has held its secrets inviolate since
the beginning Of time. 1t is not
likely that Macmillan and his ven
turesome young associates will locate
the tabled tropical island in a frozen
sea, but it well may be that they will
plant the American flag on a new
land which in coming years will add
untold wealth to the world. There is
every reason to believe that lands
within the Arctic Circle are rich In
mineral resources which in time mans
necessities will make available for his
use.
Macmillan on his previous trips. and
other Arctic explorers, by great labor
and cruel hardships have been able to
progress with their dog teams at the
rate Of 20 to 25 miles a day. The
naval planes will wing their way over
the ice and snow a hundred miles or
more an hour, and with a cruising
they will do in days what their, prede.
cessors were unable to accomplish in
weeks and months. And If the theory
proves correct that the upper air in
the Arctic is much warmer than at
the frozen surface our naval flyers
will accomplish their tasks without
that bitter, suffering we always have
in our minds associated with Arctic
exploration.
And then there is the radio to keep
us in daily touch with what the ex-
plorers are doing. Macmillan will take
with him the very latest equipment.
and expects never to be out Of touch
with civilization. 1t goes without say
ing that all the world will tune in"
when he is on the air. Congress may
be in recess and politics adjourned
but that does not mean it is going to
be a dull Summer in the L. s. A.

Patrick Henry's High Art
As Orator Exemplified

Patrick Henry's most famous
speech Is being repeated on many
platforms during the observance OF
the 15Oth anniversary of the Vfr-
ginia convention of 1775. 1t has lost
none Of its appeal, and when 1t is
rendered with any intelligence at
all. it's fiery flights explain its effects
on those who heard the revolutionary
in ST. Johns Church.
OF course. much is lost because few
men in any generation have voices
as clear and as musical as Henry's
must have been. Still more is missin g
from the illusion by reason of the
fact that the "forest-born orator
was an actor who could stand on the
floor of a crowded little church and,
without a single trapping of the
theater, produce results a Garrick or
a Booth would have applauded.
His facial expression must have
been astounding, as one may easily
imagine from the flexible lines that
appear about the mouth in the Suily
portrait.
His gestures were pronounced, but
to the accompaniment of his magnifi-
cent voice and his impassioned man
ner, they did not seem exaggerated
There is little reason to doubt the
accuracy of Judge Spencer Roane's s
description of the gestures Henry
employed in the peroration. He pre-
sented himself as hopeless bonds
man, laden with fetters, when he
asked: 'Ts life so dear or peace so
sweet as to be purchased at the
price Of chains and slavery" He
lifted both hands, clasped together
as though he were shackled. when he
cried, Forbid 1t, Almighty God"
He turned and looked at the weak
kneed members of the convention and
by stoop of the shoulders and a
further dark ening of his countenance
showed them weighted with new
shacklea II know not what course
others may take" And thereupon
he raised his hands again as though
he were tugginE at his chains. But
as for me, give me''-he pulled with
all his might until the finks were
broken and he cried joyfully-"Lib-
erty or'--and he dropped his left
hand slowly and struck his breast
with his right as though he were
plunging a dagger In, give me
death. News-LeadsR.

Tailors Plot on Fat Men
By Raising Clothing Cost

Men whose girth is more than AZ
inches will have to pay 10 per cent
more for their suits, the Partisan tai
lors have decided. 1t is a bold stroke,
and, like all such efforts TO equalize
the stout gent, may recoil on the
heads of those proposing it,
On the face of things, the gentle
man whose avoirdupois attracts notice
seems to get the most of everything.
He overlaps theater seats, takes up
trunk room on street cars, and, as the
tailors point out, uses a surplus of
material in his suitings. The layman
always supposed that tailors fixed a
grand average for humanity, some
thing on the principle of the life in
surance companies, whereby what
was saved on the skeleton was Law
ished on the fat man; the short man
contributed to the tall mans pants
and so forth. But one thing the tai
ors clearly overlook--the more there
is to fat mans suit the more there
grow mirror-like, while the strain on
seams is notoriously prodigious.
However, alarm may not be justi-
fed 1t is not new story; every
season some one gets UP and starts
something against the fat man. He
goes right ahead, eats his three meals
a day, and beams on the world, and
IL anything, puts on weight He prob
ably will figure that it will be as
difficult for the tailor to put 10 per
cent on as for himself to take 10 per
cent oH.--Detroit News.

the United States"
Commenting on the probability Of
Peru losing the territory through
the pieolscfte the Philadelphia Public
Ledger says: That is Peru's mis-
fortune, just as the war was Peru's
MISFORTUNE. Besides, few will doubt
the fairness of allowing the people
whose destiny is imm ediately at stake
10 choose between the two. Self-de-
termination can easily be carried too
far- In this case it is simple justice.
< X
The Philadelphia Bulletin thinks
that the settlement finally reached
VIII be acceptable to both Chile and
PERU for its fundamental justice
must be recognized. The decision
rests solidly on the treaty agreements
made by the two countries, and
5helther is likely to attempt evasion.
Friendly and impartial service OF this
sort does much to strengthen the
good feeling between this countr,
and its neighbors to the south"
The Newark News suggests that
the settlement Of this problem bv
aroltration may establish a precedent
for future occasions. The News asks.
If as deep-seated and serious a. con
troversy is this, one in which each
side could evoke the sentiments OF
national honor and integrity, can be
settled by arbitration, why should
not the same method be applied TO
all countries. particularly now when
we have a world court? There should
not be one rule for the smaller coun-
tries of Latin America. and another
for the greater countries of Eurone
and North America"

Tacna-Arica Plebiscite
Wins Editors Approval

President Coolidges decision that
Chile and Peru shall settle through a
plebiscite their old quarrel over the
possession of the Tacna-Arica terri
tory is viewed by many newspapers
in the United States as an important
step forward in the peaceful settle
ment of international disputes, even
though it remains to be seen how the
arbitration finally will work out.
President Coolidge's award in the
Tacna-Arica case ends a dispute which
has. clouded Latin American relations
for more than 40 years and at many
times threatened the serenity of pan
American diplomacy" observes the
New York Herald-Tribune. Summar-
izing the situation, the Hera ld-Tri-
bune says: The provision in the An
con treaty of 1888, calling for a pleb-
iscite in Tacna and africa provinces,
taken from Peru by Chile after the
war OF 1879, is now to be belatedly
and arbitration"
I'm his decision as arbiter OF the
Tacna-Arica dispute, President Cool
idge has added another chapter to a
story that has been interfering with
the peace of mind of the people of
several nations for more than a gen.
eration,"- says the Pittsburgh Sun.
Let us hope that his contribution to
the narrative will permit the writing
of 'finis.' May it be the last scene
of all that ends this strange, eventful
history" The Grand Rapids Herald
thinks the decision was "a very great
diplomatic achievement and far step
forward in judicial pacifism when
these two belligerent peoples agreed
to take the Coolidge judgment upon
this longtime quarrel over an area
nearly twice the size of Michigan
The Herald continues: TT was a
highly wholesome display of South
American confidence in the United
States-the sort Of confidence vitality
prerequisite to pan-American solidar-
that President Coolidge should judge
this age-old controversy"

The Louisville Post says Pershing
"will encounter the hostility which
formerly had Chile for its target,
now directed against the United
States. But his presence on the
scene will assure a fair election, ac-
curately rejecting the pleasure of the
people affected"
while the plebiscite is the most
fair method suggested for settlement,
1t is actually unfair" thinks the
Schenectady Gazette, because Chile,
having owned the disputed territory
for over 40 years, has had ample
opportunity to colonize the country
and gain control of the voting popu-
lation." Naturally "the Peruvians
feel that with all the transplanted
Chileans on hand the voting will go
against them," says the Worcester
Gazette But they should be re-
assured by the hint from Washington
that only those who have dwelt for
a sufficient period in the provinces
will be permitted to vote; that the
squatters will be barred. Certainly
any other course would not be
Justice"
Just what Peru objects to in the
decision is not made clear, except
that she insists that Chile has been
favored in the matter" declares the
Salt Lake City Deseret News. "The

versy rather than to have it go to
