EVEN the New York Worlds seem
- ingly unlimited supply of optimism
regarding the peace results that were
to flow from the Geneva naval con-
ference has dried up. There are no
more editorial predictions that the
boys will settle their differences
around the conference table rather
than by the roar Of cannon and the
shrek of shrapnel. England is not
willing to share sea power equally
with the United States and the latter
does not see any reason why a power
that is obviously drifting toward bum
merry, should be so impudent as to
expect solvent nation to be content
with an inferior position.
BEHIND it all is the conflict between
the capitalists of the United States
and the capitalists of Great Britain
over "ports to export prunes." The
old gag that "blood is thicker than
water" proves how rotten most old
gags are. The blood of English and
American sailors and soldiers may be
reddening the waters of the Atlantic
and other oceans before long, to settle
this quarrel. Peace conferences under
capitalism simply mean camouflage
for war, and at best are maneuvers
on the part of the conferees to steal
a march on each other.

"a groomed steed's trousers is one of
the most puzzling problems confront
ing the society matron today. A
young matron, with a phobia against
indecency, obscenity and free poetry
felt that her undressed carriage horse
ran the risk of being accosted by Mr..
John S. Sumner and hailed into court
for appearing in public au natural.
Fearing the effect of the resultant
notoriety on her steed the lady called
in her tailor and rigged the animal
out in pair Of stylish pants.
EVERYTHING went smoothly until
- the steed started to move and as
horses and even some humans have
tendency to hook the knee when walk
ing, running or making humble
obeisance to their superiors, the nag's
trousers got baggy and the matron
got so sick that she had to take
trip to Europe to recuperate. In the
meantime the horse got lonely and
tried to commit suicide three times.
So fellow workers, when you consider
what the upper classes have to put
up with you should not be so dis
contented with your lot. "The poor
ye shall have always with ye" but
supposing ye had to keep nag's
trousers creased!
"CToP! You may be this man"
Perhaps you have difficulty in
expressing yourself. Not that we
suggest you stutter your ideas to an
expectant public or that you have
taken the vows of silence, chastity and
humility but perhaps you are not do
ing the kind of work that brings out
your creative spirit and makes Of the
business of hunting food, clothing and
shelter living poem. A life insur-
ance company, plus (what the plus
means is mystery to me) wants men
who want to express themselves in
greater way in salesmanship. If you
ever sold industrial insurance, sewing
machines, insect powder or synthetic
grape juice, you will understand what
a new world this company has opened
up for the ambitious.
CHARLES A. LEVINE, hacker of the
" Chamberlin flight to Germany an
nounces his intention of flying back
to the United States in the airplane
that winged her way to Europe. If
Levine accomplishes this feat, the Ku
Klux Klan and other worshippers of
the Nordic myth will have bad quar-
ter of an hour. Levine, the ex-
junkman, was not the kind of a fell
low to keep patriotic women awake
all night during his hazardous trans
oceanic flight. He is bald-headed and
not in the least romantic. And fur
thermore he is being sued by the gov
ernment for $500,000 which he is al
legged to have pocketed on his war
contracts instead of turning it over
to the government.

Al Nordic, this little matter might
have been conveniently ignored and
the newspaper would have injected his
personality into the spiritual anatomy
of the populace. But Levine did not
