writers. Of course the majority OF
them agree that such an eventuality
is unthinkable, despite the fact that
two bloody wars have already been
fought between the United States and
the mother" country, when the ties
OF language and blood were purer and
thicker than they are today. Com
mander Kenworthy, member of the
British house of commons, has written
a book on war and paints a most I'M
pleasant picture of the horrors that
will inevitably follow in it's wake.
THE commander asked H. G.. Wells
to write something about the book
and that prolific literary spider ac-
ceeded to the request, tho taking adj
vantage of the opportunity to insert
few poisoned arrows into the anat-
omy OF his friend Kenworthy who had
previously remarked that Mr.. Wells
was IN his dotage because of comment
made by that celebrity on some cur
rent event that did not meet with
the commanders approval. Ken
worthy does the best he can to horrifv
the human race by picturing the next
was as an extremely hazardous I'M
dertaking, not only to the heroes but
to noncombatants. He winds up by
suggesting that the United States.
England, Holland and Switzerland get
together and refuse money, oil and
stop watches to naughty nations that
insist on going to war.
MIR. WELLS, who is quite capable
AVA of Transforming himself into a
political donkey at a moments notice
welded malicious pen on his friend
Kenworthy. How could those nations
be gotten together in order to make
their ban against war effective? The
toothless old league of nations is
dying example of the futility of a de-
batting society as a war-preyenting
machine. The only solution according
to Wells is federal merger of those
countries, and the pooling of their in
dependent sovereignty in foreign af
fairs. But are they ready for this?
w by Mr.. Wells points out,
not even the worthy commander
would be prepared to submit this So
luton to his constituents who would
trounce him at the polls for propos-
ing to put the empire under a stronger
league than the league of nations.
MIR. WELLS is a great novelist and
A in this case has the best of Mr..
henworthy, but his anti-war policy
IS Just as futile as the commanders.
Now is the time for an active paci-
list campaign against war, he saws.
Pacltlsm is ineffective and has an un-
pleasant flavor after war is declared.
but If governments are convinced that
there will be defections the war
makers may halt in their nefarious
work. Nonsense. Wars are not
brought about by bad men thirsting
for human blood. They are the re-
suit OF economic conflicts between ma
tlonal groups. War is inevitable as
long as capitalism exists. When the
workers seize power and reorganize
society on a production-for-use in
stead of production-for-p profit basis. |
the economic cause of wars will have
automatically died. Then an era of
peace and prosperity for sociallv-
productive humanity will be at hand. |

NCOIlLIuuSU from rage L J.
torial letter from the entire Irish
hierarchy which was read in every
catholic church in Ireland last Sun
day. HE who swears an oath should
stand in the truth in judgement and
in justice, for to call god to witness
a lie or false promise is a terrible
outrage on the god of truth. In all
relations of life let us as christians
and as free men have nothing to do
with telling lies, which is the vice of
slaves, and especially let us remem-
Der the sanctity of the oaths we take
when we invoke the name of almighty
god, judge of the living and the
dead"
1 is rather amusing to see catholic
bishops rushing to the defense of a
protestant king against catholic sub
jects who wish to get free from his
clutches. According to catholic teach
ing non-catholics who have an OPP
portunity to get acquainted with the
true faith" and fail to avail them
selves of it will roast for all eternity
in the fires of hell. King George of
England certainly had this oppor-
tunity and seems intent on spending
his after-life in the internal regions,
where he will not have the service of
subservient flunkey to bring him
his whiskey and soda in the morning
or breaker of champagne to quench
his thirst
THE church in Ireland as elsewhere
is living up to its Evolutionary role
as bulwark of the social order under
which it lives and which permits it
to suck its sustenance out of the ex-
plotted masses. 1t is supporting the
prote tant British government
against the catholic republicans in re-
turn for favors in Ireland, England
and other parts of the world over
which the British flag flies. 1t is not
yet generally known that the British
government under the willy Pitt,
founded Maynooth College, in Ireland,
seminary which turns out priests
for service in Ireland and abroad.
Ireland has been used by the Vatican
as tool in winning concessions from
Great Britain and in the still more
ambitious aim of winning Great Brit
ain back to the catholic fold.
GHOULD De Valera repeat that he
y considers the oath an "empty for
mula" he will draw down on his head
the condemnation of the Irish heir
archy. If he is more of a nationalist
revolutionist than catholic he will
promptly tell the bishops to go
straight to their devil and he will
have the support of the Irish masses
as Parnell had when the Roman
wolves were snarling at his heels. 1t
is test for De Valera which he cam
not we'll evade. The Irish workers
and peasants have never hesitated to
break lance with the clergy on ques-
tons affecting political policies. The
hierarchy has always opposed the
national aspirations of the people.
Until their power is broken there
will be little chance for progress In
Ireland.

August Biggest Month
in History Nash Motors

August was the biggest single
month in the history of the Nash
Motors Company All previous rec
ords since the establishment of the
company were swept aside during
the month just ended and when the
books were closed they revealed
shipments of 1927 cars while or
ders for August delivery totaled
20,201. This new high record fol-
lowing that of the previous month,
which made it the biggest July in
Nash history. is regarded by Of
~ficiais of the company as an over
whelming endorsement of the three
entirely new series of cars intro
duced by Nash on June 2S.
I'VE feel that the August sales
record is an eloquent expression
OF what the automobile buying pub
lie thinks of the Nash product
said E H. McCarty. general sales
manager of the Nash Motors Com
pany. "At no time SINCE the an
~nouncement of the three new series
of Nash cars has the factory been
able to ship cars in quantities suf-
ficient to meet the demand. At
the end of the first month the
factory was oversold and now. at
the end of the second month. we
are going into September again
cversold in spite of increased pro-
duction.'
The new Nash line is composed
of three series OF cars in four
w~heelbase lengths. All are skies and
all are equipped with ~7-bearing
crankshaft motors.

INCREASED DEMAND
FOR IRRIGATED FARMS

Conditions on government irri-
CATION projects are rapidly improv-
ing, reports ]. B. Lamson of Chi
tcago, who accompanied Secretary
of Interior Hubert Work on his re-
cent tour of inspection of reclama-
ton projects. Mr.. Lamson, who
has charge of agricultural develop
ment work carried on by the Bur-
'lington railroad. accompanied the
Secretary on a similar tour of in
spection two years ago. -e3d reports
that@Dr Worn-not-d a rs-y marked
improvement as compared with con-
ditions at that time.
"Dr. Work was very much en-
couraged and pleased with the at
titude OF the people and the condi-
lions on these projects" states Mr..
Lamson. 1.-THE feeling is vastly
different from that which existed
two years ago On the Beaver unit
of the Shoshone Project. DR.. Work
highly on the showing they have
made this year; they have paid
the government all the money due
this year and have 500 acres more
land in crop this year than they
had last year.
"This is of especial interest"
adds Mr.. Lamson. when you re-
call that this division was about to
be abandoned a year ago by the
government. Crops are now in ex-
cellent condition.
There is a total of nearly 5000
acres of beets on the Shoshone Pro-
ject, 1900 acres of potatoes and
$500 acres of beans. All of these
crops are in excellent condition.
There is no feeling OF distress on
the Shoshone Project. At River
ton. Wyo.. conditions are also bet
ter than they have been in several
years; more renters than farms were
available last spring and a very
optimistic attitude prevails among
the settlers. On the wildwood Di-
vision of the Shoshone Project, from
being received with reference to
the fifty-seven farm units opened
for entry to ex-soldier and sailors
IN June j; these lands will be
thrown open to the general public
on September i.
1.-THE spirit of the North Platte
Project is better than it has been
in years. The people have taken
over the management of the project
and have already paid the govern
ment a considerable part of the
payments due for this year and are
collecting the balance at the pres
emit time, crop conditions are very
good. The Reclamation Service
opened 126 farm units in the North
Platte Project for entry this sum
mel and have already received over
200 applications for these 126 farms
Conditions are rapidly improving
and a demand is developing for
these reclamation farms"

Ten Per Cent Reduction
Prevails at Hollywood
Rumors Prevailing.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, June rs
Although the 10 per cent wage
cut decreed by the motion pic
ture producers is in effect gen
orally so far as non-contract EN-
ployees of the studios are con
cerned, none of the more prom-
inent directors and actors under
contract have as yet been noti-
fled formally of any proposed
change in their salaries.
Producers held a long meeting
behind closed doors and at the
close of the session denied re-
ports of the feasibility of re-
seinding the wage reduction
order, in case of long term studio
employees, and rumored about
Hollywood that the slash would
be held in allegiance for at least
10 days.
Official announcement from
virtually every studio said the
wage cuts were in effect.

Sun S Eclipse
Is to Occur
OmOrTO1U


Scientists have 1gured that the
eclipse OF the sun tomorrow,
which will be total along line
which sweeps over the British
Isles and the Scandinavian PEN
insula, passes to the north of
Russia and skirts the northern
shore of Siberia, will be visible
in Alaska just before sunset. The
sun will be totally eclipsed in the
extremity of the Aleutian Islands.
At Nome the eclipse will be S6
per cent of total. The southern
limit set for the eclipse includes
Juneau within the area, but here
the sun will be only partly OBJ
seured. The greatest length of
the total phase at any one point
will be about one minute.
Scientists have gathered in
great numbers, specially in the
Scandinavian Peninsula, to make
observations of the eclipse and
to make a study of the flash
spectrum, the atmosphere that
lies within 10000 miles of the
suns surface.
