the sale of the White Star Line by
the International Mercantile Marine
Co. to the Royal Mail Steam Packet
Co. it was, we are told. the ambition
of the Elder j. P. Morgan in organic
ing the International Mercantile
Marine to make of 1t American
owned and the greatest shipping con-
Germ in the world. To that end the
company acquired the British-owned
White Star Line, Leyland Line, Allan
tic Transport Line and Red Star Line,
the White Star Line being far the
most important of those properties.
To be sure, these fleets remained
under British registry and so avail
able for British use in case of war,
the British government refusing to
allow the several sales except on that
condition; but the transfer to Ameri-
can ownership was hailed on this side
of the water as a mighty triumph for
American shipping enterprise, and by
the same token it was sadly lamented
in Britain. And now the White Star
Line goes back to British ownership;
and 1t is rumored that negotiations
are under way for similar return to
British ownership of the Eeyland
Line. the Atlantic Transport Line
and the Red Star Line.

Scientists Discover Way to Attract
Japanese Beetle to Certain Death

A scent like that OF the old-fash-

mothers gardens is to prove the un.
doing Of the Japanese beetle. which
has been a most destructive pest in
the Eastern truck garden and orchid
region for several years. The l.. s.
Bureau Of Entomology has recently
discovered that the beetles are attract
ed by the scent of geraniol, the odor-
our principle Of geranium plants.
Comparatively cheap mixtures of
this chemical have been made and are
sprayed upon a small group of trees,
with the result that the beetles to the
windward side will cOngregate for
half a mile around. They are then
easily killed by contact spray of a
diluted pyrethrum extract. The ex-
pertinent was tried upon comparative
ly small infested areas last Summer,
but will be used extensively during

developed so that the war was ulti-
mately brought on to the world
simply by a transference of responsi-
bility into the hands of the general
staff
That is the kind of thing which
people sense as a danger in arma-
ments. It isn't a development Of fer
tilizers or drugs. 1 suppose the press
ing problem Of the day is problem of
the adjustment Of the period during
which the existing active forces. the
striking forces of q nation, can be
brought into action.
That means that in dealing with
any ornaments that can be reduced
at present, we should concentrate not
upon the creative chemistry or indus
trial efficiency, but upon the agencies
at the moments disposal which may
be thrown into the battlefield; and if
security is q state Of mind-for no
nation Is wholly secure-then that
state of mind can be surely induced
by a proper handling Of the disarma-
ment question that deals with the first
line Of defense.
Armaments Of this kind have been
built up by political action, not by
military action. Their creation is due
to political judgments. Is the political
judgment to have anything to say
with reference then to their handling
and their possible limitation or reduc-
ton? It would seem that the method
and the degree of the establishment Of
ratios Is q matter for the technician,
but the political judgment is to say
whether or not we are to proceed
toward these ratios.
To achieve results demands a strik
ing and dramatic act. 1t can never
come from the technician. In the
nature of the case it must coma from
those who represent the will Of the
people, who are dumbly conscious of
the danger that turks where efficiency
of killing is so developed. Only from
that angle is there possibility of
action.

Chinese maritime customs officials

contraband is said to have been
brought from Canton and other ports
in south China, destined for local con-

 An hours walk does much to in crease the appetite, disseminate the fatigue poisons and fit one for sound sleep.
 A walk in the morning following breakfast also has its devotees, for then the air is stimulating and the mind is sufficiently alert to appre- ciate Natures exchanging moods. AS time for thinking or planning, a walk offers manifest advantages.
 No great amount of preparation is required to obtain the benefits of a walk. Of course, the shoes worn should have fairly stout soles and be comfortable. Tight and high-heeled shoes are incongruous and can only cause discomfort.
 Ill-ftting and darned socks may also detract from the pleasure o1 walk. Chilling of the body through perspiration should be avoided by wearing appropriate clothing and making change after the walk. Wetting of the feet should be studiously avoided by using proper footgear.
 To one who is seeking the novel combination of pleasant diversion, mild exercise and good health, walk ing may be recommended as a valu- able adjunct to careful living.
