A WILD, VENTURESOME
JOURNEY.
BY F. F. CORLISS.

"To hold the mind on any one sub
ject for ten consecutive minutes is
quite a difficult feat, Sam. Before you
are aware of it, it will go wandering
from the text and you have to keep
bringing it back. Tonight, Sam, I feel
like letting it wander at will and go
the limit and l want you to get your
mind in tune to mine so you can roam
with me. This exploration journey
will be long one and we shall need to
divest ourselves of all excess bag
gage
"You know that inside we have an
ethereal body. It's a picture Of our
real self and looks like a photograph
taken on cheese cloth, full of inter
stices. Our physical bodies are re-
production picture with all the spaces
filled in with real substance. So this
body that houses US and the thing
that we walk with and work with was
first mental picture in the mind of
the Creator while the Almighty was
then static, intelligent energy, but
He desired to materialize the picture
by chemical combination of the
elements and to project US into OBJ
jectivity on the plane of tangible eff
fects. So that is how we got here.
"Now tonight we are going to walk
out Of our bodies just as we walk out
of our homes on the hillside. We are
going to make visit to Venus, Mer-
curry and Mars and then out to the
nearest star, Centauri, only twenty
five billions of miles distant"
"But hold on, Doc; | want to know
what we are going in and all about
the chances of having the engine stall
on u.s."
"Leave it all to me Sam, and don't
worry. We shall have no need for
engines or parachutes. Did you ever
watch the sea gulls follow ship for
hundreds of miles and notice how far
they can go and never move wing
or a feather. Well, we are going to
float with a greater ease than they dc
and with speed that is equal to that
of thought.

to go to Vega, Altai or Cygnus of the
Swan, all we have to do is to get into
vibration with the Vega wave and we
will be there sooner than l can tell
you"
"Well, Doc, ut seems to me this is
foolish idea that you have got into
your noodle-quite an Innovation"
"Worse than that, Sam. The ortho-

want to see for myself; l want to
prove my belief or have it disproved,
and l need you for witness. We will
have mighty nice trip, Sam, and
can not help but learn something even
if my theory is wrong.
"If the stay-at-home people and the
wise ones laugh, why let them have
all the fun out of it they can get.
"Now if you are ready, Sam, we will
be off in a jiffy and tell all about it
when we return"
(Which way are you going first,
Doc?"
eve are going to see Venus first;
then Mercury; then we will go back
past Mother Earth and spend some
time overlooking Mars. Then we will
take in Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and

lar system. Now it is a long jump
out to Centauri. 1t takes four years
and five months for light to reach us
from this, our nearest star, and light

''This is some universe, Doc, when
one gets away from his old home
town, eh?"
"Well you wait until we see Orion
and the Pleadies, then we will take in
the whole Milky Way, and if your
eyes don't bulge at the spectacle, Sam,
l shall call you a poor simp.'

EUROPEAN WAR DEBTS

After describing the unpopularity
of the United States in Europe,
Senator Copeland, Of New York, said
in the course of recent Senate debate:
"What is wrong with. US in our deal
ings with foreign nations that we can
not command their friendship?" Is
it always something wrong with an
individual that he cannot command
the friendship of some others,-for
instance of those whom he has helped
and who have borrowed money from
him they do not want to pay? Why
is it assumed by so many that when
the United States is criticized from
abroad, it is proof that there is justi-
fcation for the criticism? Perhaps
there is nothing wrong with US in this
situation; maybe there is something
wrong with the other fellow. This
is an assumption that is at least
worthy of consideration in the discus
sion of foreign affairs.
Let it not be forgotten that all
controversy relative to the debts
owing the United States by foreign
nations is due to the failure to take
from our debtors definite evidences of
obligation, with stated maturity.
Such evidences in the form of bonds
were given to the people of the United
States who furnished this money dur
ing Liberty Loan drives on the assur-
ance that the money sent abroad
would be repaid to the American
government. Billions were loaned to
our associates in the World War,
after as we'll as during the war, and
there was no serious thought at that
time that this was gift.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1926-04-15

time that this was gift.
Now the United States is con-
fronted with the necessity of doing
the best it can with bad situation.
Collection in full from our foreign
debtors, whom some of our world
crusaders had led to believe that they
would never be called on to pay any
thing, is clearly out of the question.
Because of the conditions under which
the loans were made, they must be
negotiated. Demand for payment in
full would result in most cases in no
payments at all. Common sense indi-
Gates that the best thing to do is to
collect to the limit of the willingness
and capacity of our European debtors
to pay, with the knowledge that with
every passing year disposition to pay,
at all weakens, not merely among the
people of the nations involved, among
whom a crusade of hatred against the
United States is constantly being car
ried on. In the case of the italian
debt settlement the Senate has con-
fronted only the alternatives of par
tial settlement and reputation. Ital-
ian reputation would be followed by
French reputation. Russian repudia-
ton has of course definitely taken
place, which fact does not disturb at
all some of the politicians loudest in
their denunciation of Italy for failure
to pay more fully. How will we pro-
coed to collect debts which our Euro
pean debtors refuse to pay? Does
anyone favor going to war about it?
Are those who declare that they
would prefer to get nothing if not
more than is in prospect representing
the interests of the American people
who would have to pay the bill for
this exhibition Of feeling?
Our bill for Saving the world for
democracy" is big one. President
Harding estimated that before the
last bill, bond and interest coupon is
paid it will aggregate hundred bill
lion dollars. Perhaps we have had
that much worth of experience. Amer
lea demonstrated, anyway, that she
was not too proud to fight when at
tackled, and the vastness of our mill
tary and naval operations brought to
Europe and the world realization of
Americas potential strength which
may in the future save US the neces-
sity of war nearer home. 1t has
also made Americans more than ever
determined to keep out of European
politics and world crusades. We might
have learned our lesson under condi-
tions far more harmful to ourselves.
Who knows, in the light of such con-
siderations, that Americas part in the
World War, was worth as much as it
cost?
Of course the United States is I'M
popular abroad. The wealth and sta
bility Of the United States is envied;
but Americans earned that wealth and
stability, and are not compelled to
sacrifice their high level of life to the
rest of the world upon the heels of an
experience which teaches them that

FARMERS FACE
CROP SHORTAGE
Condition of Spring Wheat
Is Below Average.
BIZ Times Special

81 CDtbfNf
WASHINGTON. June 10.-Farm'
ers are faced this season with the
shortest crop production of the last
fifteen years, due to unreasonable
spring, the Agriculture Department
announce dtoGay.
Bumper crops of winter wheat
were forecast with production total
ing about 543 900 bushels, an
increase Of nearly 10000, 900 bush
els over the harvest last year, but
the condition OF practically all other
crops is much below normal.
The condition of spring wheat is
"A per cent below a ten year arer-
age of 1919 per cent. The crop in
the northwest is suffering from
moisture and is below an average
in most producing States.
Pastures and hay crops have suf-
fered from drouth. While in the
southwest and west the hay crop
will be good, indications are the
harvest for the entire country will
be smaller than any previous in
fifteen years.
The planting of corn and other
late crops has not been completed
the department said, therefore no
prospective condition or production
estimate could be made.
