HEROISM IN CHINA

Seaman Dizick Of the U. S. Destroyer McLeish
has into transient fame by quelling Chinese
mob single handed in Shanghai
AS the cables tell the story, there riot
threatened, in connection with some of the labor
troubles which at the bottom of the present Chin
ferment. The strikers making demonstrations
against the non-srikers in familiar American fashion,
and even kidnapping them and taking them to Chin
territory" The Of the disturbance the
foreign quarter which the other powers hold and
regulate themselves The foreign police had taken
Chinese prisoner and the strikers attempted to
cue him.
"Dizick, who patrol nearby, rushed up and
stormed the crowd. He fired shot, instantly killing
the mob leader after which the mob dispersed without
further disorder
Apparently it a heroic thing to do, and also
effective thing But American here at home
reading the story in calm and disnterested spirit
can't help wondering a little just what business
American sailor has butting into Asiatc labor
of that kind and shooting anybody when apparently
there were no threats against him, his ship his
country.
Suppose Chinese sailor in the foreign quarter
of New York San Francisco were to take it upon
himself to stop American labor riot by shooting
American labor leader!
Is America really obliged to police China for
European and Japanese captains of industry whose
exploitation of China has brought this revolt?

EVERYBODY'S ECLIPSE

All aboard for the next solar eclipse scheduled to
be visible at Sumatra January a. 1926. The Unit
ed States navy department is sending expedition
from the naval observatory at Washington including
in the party scientists, astronomers, enlisted men,
medical corps seamen, photographers and radio
perts
In the old days solar eclipses took people by
surprise few very wise men knew good deal about
them, but the general public ignorant and
frightened the birds and beasts. 1t watched the
being botted out with hope of its reappearing
Nowadays it would be foolish for anyone in civ
iized land to be frightened at this natural event But
it is equally foolish to lose utterly the of wonder
and at the sight. We blessed with mar
velous instruments and with moving picture cameras
and other equipment enabling to study the eclipse
and its attendant phenomena and to reproduce them
in regions where they not visible. These things
should not make it such commonplace that laymen
pay attention to and leave its study entirely to the
astronomers

A DRY BORDER

1t seems to have escaped general notice that the
Unied Safes senate in the last session ratified liquor
treaty with Canada. 1t not labeled liquor treaty
but it amounts to that.
The compact was designed for mutual protection
of the two countries against smuggling. 1t provided
for the exchange of information by the two govern
ments regarding the smuggling of any kind of goods
across the border In its application to the United
the government at Washington information that has
been available concerning liquor smuggled in
from Canada.
1t is expected that the formal exchange of ratifi
cation will be made within month"; and the services
of the Canadian government will then supplement the
efforts of federal prohibition forces. Negotla-
tons are under way with Mexico for similar treaty.
Thus to dry seacoast may be added dry border,
north and south. That is two-thirds of the enforce
ment problem The other consists in drying up the
chief sources of domestic supply. There is fresh
tvity too in that field with the emphasis the big
fellows instead of the little ones.

HLSSIA,S READING ARMY

The commissar of the Soviet army and navy
ports that the Russian army is $4,000 less than
the armed forces Of France, and 900 less than the
combined armed forces Of Poland Rumania and the
Baltic states. 1t has average Of Al soldiers for
every 10000 of population; France has 200 soldiers
and Rumana and Poland each 100 soldiers for every
10000 of population.
Russian desertions in 1924 were one-tenth Of
l per cent, against 7l2 per cent in 1928 The im-
provement in morale is attributed partly the process
Of education carried for the soldiers In 1924 more
than $4,000 illiterates received some education, and
$4,000 partial illiterates given further educa-
ton. The army maintains $500 reading rooms for
soldiers from which more than 100000 books
borrowed in 1924.
Certainly that Soviet army does not appear men
acng to numbers If it is receiving the foundations
for broad and liberal education, it should promote
progress and enlightenment in long-sufferng Russia.
1t would be interesting to know what books are allowed
in those army and what others are barred. If
the Red soldiers being taught the wrong things,
their future ideas may be more dangerous than their
numbers military efficiency.

NOTED GUN MAKERS
 DIRECT ENERGIES TO
 PATHWAYS OF PEACE

ESSEN, Germany, Apr. 29.-Quan- tity production three years ago oi battleship turrets and rapid-fire guns was a feature of the work here of the firm of Friedrich Krupp, once the smybol throughout the world of ar manent manufacture; today this or ganization is making artificial teeth and surgical instruments.
 Swords, or their more hideous mod ern successors, the Big Birtha" can- non, have literally been beaten into ploughshares. The Krupp now turns out agricultural machinery, railway engines, automobile trucks, merchant ships, steel bridges, and thousand and one smaller things. Artificial teeth and surgical instruments are but two of the many minor articles manufactured in what was once the most formidable armament plant in the world.
 A striking feature of the transfor- nation is the fact that the change has come about without change of technical engineers or skilled work CTS. In fact, one reason for turning into such activities as watch and clock making, moving picture manu- featuring, and the construction of delicate mechanisms for optical and microscopical instruments was the consideration that large staff of skilled workers and engineers used to be engaged in perfecting the deli cate mechanisms of rapid-fire guns and the like. These men, after the war, were compelled to turn from inventing and constructing engines of death to devising machinery for the advacement of civilization. Thus new types of turbine engines are be- ing evolved, Diesel motors are being improved upon, better processes oi steel are being experimented with.
 A word as to the magnitude of the
Seward daily gateway., 1925-05-01

l Krupp plant at Essen: the area cov cred by the various buildings is al- most 300 acres The private railway which connects the various sections with each other travels nearly five miles from one end of the plant to the other. The largest of the build 1 ings, that devoted to locomotive con- struction, covers an area of S00,000 square feet and has a frontage of l. GAO feet. The four hydraulic press es for compressing blocks of steel ex- ert a pressure of 4,000 tons each. Some of the smelters employed for bringing grade steel to the melting point have a capacity up to 90 tons each.
 The plant is equipped to employ 115,000 men. That was the figure reached during the peak of wartime production, and applies to Essen alone If one adds other plants, at Kiel and in the Ruhr valley, the Krupps can furnish employment to 1S00OO men.
 AS a matter of fact, however, only 2S,000 workers are now on the pay roll. The Krupps are going through the same readjustment which great numbers of American firms had to face when the war was over. Be- fore the war they were doing thriv- ing business with 36,OO0 men en- ployed. If they can get back to the pre-war footing, they will probably consider themselves lucky.
 The impression made by the Krupp l works today is rather desolate one. Only in the department devoted to the construction of agricultural ma- chinery does the place seem really busy. The railway locomotive con- struction department, for instance, is equipped to turn out one locomotive each working day, or about 300 a year. At present it has orders for only 20 German locomotives, and a small number of wood-burning en- zines intended for Brazil. Ship con- struction is at low ebb, as the world generally is overstocked with ships.
