The Senate was plunged into more
than an hour of sharp debate over
European affairs yesterday, when
Senator Harrison, Democrat, of Mis-
sissippi, called attention to observa-
ttons reported to have been made to
newspaper correspondents a few days
ago by Ambassador Houghton.
Half a dozen other Senators partici-
pated. and there was both plainly
spoken criticism and vigorous defense
Of the American Ambassador to the
Court of St. James.
At one point Senator Glass. Demo-
crat. Virginia, lightened the weighty
discussion by demanding that there be
mo secret agreements" among Sen
ators. He referred to a brief whisper
ed conference between Senator Moses,
publican, New Hampshire, and SEN
ator Borah during a colloquy between
the Idaho and Virginia Senators.
Borah Hits Secrecy.
Senator Borah had made a point of
secret agreements" among the Euro
pean powers at the time Of the Locar-
no public agreement, and declared
that these were responsible in large
measure for present conditions in
Europe.
The chairman of the foreign rela-
tions committee gave 1t as his opinion
that when Brazil "defied" the other
nations and blocked Germany's entry
into the council Of the League of Ma
tions she had silent support from the
great powers.
Senator Glass said Mr.. Borah was
getting into the field of conjecture" !"
and the latter retorted that 1t was
mot the field of conjecture, but the
field of common sense
Interrupting the discussion. Senator
johnson. Republican, California, de.
clared the American people had a
right to know the facts about what is
transpiring in Europe. and Senator
BOrah agreed with him.
"On what theory are we entitled to
know the facts?" then demanded Sen.
ator Glass. What right has Ambas.
sador Houghton to be Offering sug-
gestions to other governments?"
Borah Offers Reason.
Senator Borah replied that the
United States was asked to join in q
world disarmament conference and

tions made by the company's inspec.
tors are complied with.
Mines where hazards to life and
limb are not corrected will have poll.
cies Cancelled by the company.
The public hears only of big losses,
where from 20 to 100 men are entomb-
ed, the company announced. Aside
from these there are thousands of
other casualties that mount up
during the year. In four years the
company has had severe losses from
this source and more especially in re.
cent months.
Reopening the mines after the long
shutdown, although maintenance
work was carried on by agreement be
tween operators and the union, Is said
to involve great hazard to the men.

Asks What Is
Autointoxication

Your lower bowel or colon is full
Of poisonous microbes-permanen
! lodgers. These virulent polsons
are absorbed by the intestines, get
INTO the blood stream and contaml-
nate every organ and cell in the
body. Then you have Autointoxi-
| alton, which in time will lead to
more serious disorders.
Some call it Intestinal ToXemia
and others self-poisoning, but what
ever you call it. don't make the
| mistake of treating it too lightly.
1t is usually caused by constipation
and no one who has it is as active
mentally and physically as he
| should be The skin is not as clear
as it should be and the eyes have
not that healthy sparkle.
To combat autointoXication and
get rid of the virulent. pernicious,
poisonous microbes which infest
the colon. cut out meat for while
and eat plenty of green vegetables
and ripe fruit.
In addition to this diet, take two
Toxi-Tahs every night before going

The Atlantic Ice Patrol
IN. Y Tribune)

~ 1ElDuHeD
The Coast Guard recently celebrat-
ed the fourteenth anniversary of the
establishment Of the iceberg patrol
In North Atlantic waters. This is
really an international patrol since
ten nations are sharing the expense
and are contributing information for
its uses through the captains Of their
merchant ships. The two American
Coast Guard cutters doing the actual
patrol work are based at Halifax, a
foreign port.
This beneflcent enterprise. which
has greatly lessened the peril Of ship
wreck. grew out of the Titanic disas-
ter of April IA, 1912. Two cruisers
of the United States Navy were
assigned in 1913 to patrol duty in the
iceberg season. They were replaced
in 1914 by the cutters Seneca ard
Miami. In November, 1913, an inter-
national conference was held and
the principal maritime powers rep
resented agreed to start a derelict
destruction. Ice obsedvation and
patrol service in the western part
of the North Atlantic. The United
States agreed TO furnish the ships
needed. and has continued to do so
since 1914. with the exception of the
two years 1918, when We were
actually at war with Germany.
In all this time not n single ship
or single life has been lost through
collision with an iceberg With the
introduction of the radio it has been
possible TO plot accurately the posi-
tons Of all ships approaching the
infested area or travelling through It
The appearance of floating ice can
easily be reported. Radio broadcasts
are made twice a day. with special
broadcasts If new ice is discovered.
Vessels in the most dangerous area
are required to make reports to the
patrol cutters every four hours.
During the ice season the seven
North Atlantic lanes are moved south
so as to avoid the eastern edges of
the Grand Banks, where the worst
bergs collect. 1t is the patrols duty
to report any trans Atlantic steam
ship which wanders from its lane.
Science and vigilance have thus
virtually put the iceberg out OF COM
mission as destructive agency.
There can hardly be another Titanic
disaster.
Within fourteen years travel In
North Atlantic waters has been freed
Of one OF its most ancient and ghast-
ly terrors. -

THE FIRST AMERICANS

DR.. Ales Hrdlicka, Smithsonian
anthropologist, has returned from a
scientific. investigation In Alaska.
It was hoped he might bring back
evidence Of immigration to this
country from Asia Of the first human
beings to people this continent It
does not appear that he has been
successful in that respect.
The more generally accepted
theory has been that the Asians
came by way Of Boring Strait and
down through Alaska Such q move
ment might be expected to have left
relics along the way. These have
been sought but it said Doctor
Hrdlicka failed to ind any. Along
the Yukon River he found no traces
Of man seemingly older than two or
three hundred years. He observes
that all Alaska outside the Eskimos
belt shows but one type Of Indian.
The result is disappointing to
those who hold the theory that the
Asian came to America by this
northern route and encourages those
who have urged that he could have
come across the wide Pacific in
Polynesian dugouts.
There are ocean currents in the
Pacific that may have swept vent
uresome or helpless voyagers to our
oil t. %1,n
that islands then existed along the
way, but which have since disap-
peared in one Of the earth's con-
vulsions.
In Arizona another representative
Of the Smithsonian has discovered a
ruin which he declares dates back as
far as 800 B. C. but he thinks those
who built it were the forbears of our
present Indians. There is said to be
evidence that man was in America
at least 5000 years before the Christ
ian era and one investigator con-
| cludes he was here in the late
Pleistocene Age.
To develop the Magyar civilization
must have required a long period, a
long time for the first to come to
develop the edible fruits, roots and
grains which the aborigines had
when the white men came. Such
development inevitably left traces
many Of which have been revealed
but many more. and those that may
help US more definitely to determine
the time man came to this continent
| and how he came, remain unreveal-
ed. The delivers for these things are
a patient and a persistent lot and
governments so provide that the in
vestigators do not go hungry while
delving. It is reasonable to suppose
, the desired data will ultimately be
| found.

MORE THAN ENOUGH

The latest Congressional Directory
on the writer's desk happens to be
that Of last year and in the BIZ
ographical sketches We find simply
this for the junior Senator Of Ar
kansas: ct. H. Caraway, Democrat
Jonesboro." It is more than enough.
The name does not belong on the
Senate's roll.
Senator Caraway recently return
ed from France. We don't know
whether he was one Of the Ameri-
cans who stick French francs on
their luggage to show their con-
tempt, or whether he went about
flauntingly after the fashion set by
a few "blow- hards" from this side of
the puddle. 1t more than suffices
that he came back.
And when he arrived he proceeded
to tell us about insults being written
on the white crosses over American
graves by the American hating
French Such a statement from a
Senator received attention. His
words were cabled over the world:
The wave of indignation that rolled
back on Caraway impelled him to
make another statement from which
it appears he had not visited the
white crosses, that he did not per-
sonally know Of any dissertation.
that his information had been based
on what Senator D. A. Reed said
last May.
That gentleman informs the world,
and should be believed. that moth
ing was said by him about the de-
secration Of American graves but
that he has just visited them and
found the cemeteries excellently car
ed for.
1t must be difficult for the for
eigner to comprehend the very i'm
portant fact that the United States
is a great country Notwithstanding
Caraways do occasionally come to a
seat among the mighty. They
should be reminded that dust will
sift in everywhere. but this Is no
excuse for neglecting the busting 1

URGE ACTION BY
COUNTY ATTORNEY
OF LINCOLN CO.

Portland. Me, Sept. 22-At the
Pressure Isle convention Of the w. c.
T. T., recent sad tragedy in Lincoln
County caused by violation of the
State and Federl Prohibitory laws
was called to the attention of the
members of the convention.
A lobster fisherman, little more
than boy. was being furnished with
some kind Of intoxicating LIQUOR
The parents and brother repeatedly
protested to the party who was
furnishing the liquor, but the evil
thing went on until one night the
boy became crazed by LIQUOR and
had to be restrained by force from
injuring others. Before morning the
boy was dead. County officers, ply
slcians and the coroner were called
and the cause of death was pro-
nounced as alcoholism.
At the time Of the State convention
it. was reported that no action had
been taken against the offender who
it was understood was a summer
resident.
The following protest was unan-
imously adopted by the members of
the convention:
To Weston Hilton. Esq, County
Attorney for Lincoln County:
We, the members of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union of the
State of Maine in convention assem-
bled, are shocked to learn of the
tragedy that has recently occurred
in Lincoln County. and we urge that
the offender be speedily brought to
ficient evidence of guilt. The ewes of
the State will be on Lincoln County.
We believe that by the use Of the
authority vested In you by state law
you should be able to see that justice
be done.

Secretary for the Maine W. C. T. u.
