The Lost Airmen.

There is no ground for American
resentment at the manifestation of
feeling in Paris over the failure of
the French transatlantic flyers to
cross the sea and their probable loss
in midocean. The episode is unfor-
tunate. 1t does not reflect in the least
upon the people of this country
Rather, it betrays the keen sensibility
Of the French in competitions and
their highly emotional nature.
Of course there is no ground for the
thought that false or misleading re-
ports of weather conditions were sent
from this side. The American
Weather Bureau did not send any re-
ports, the French authorities receiv-
ing naval wireless bulletins as to the
conditions at sea. There is no con-
ceivable possibility that such reports
were inaccurate or misleading.
Apparently the flare-up of indigna-
tion in Paris was caused by false re-
ports of the success of the flight.
Those reports appear to have been
sent forth by French officials, based
upon unconf1rmed rumors of the sight.
ing of Nungesser and Coli in New.
foundland. The after-effects of the
mistake were unfortunate, but were
not serious. Some demonstration of
Indignation occurred, and now it an.
pears that reflection has caused
feeling Of contrition for the outburst.
Ambassador Herrick's suggestion
that the flight Of the Bellanca plane
from this side be postponed lest it
lead to further misunderstanding, es-
pecially while the fate Of the French
flyers is in doubt, was inspired by the
intensity of the feelings manifested
in Paris. With the abatement of that
sentiment, however, there is no occa.
sion for further delay beyond Sat.
urday, when it is proposed that the
American contestants for transatlan-
tic honors will take off in their at
tempt to make nonstop crossing. In
consideration for the disappointment
and sorrow Of the French people, how
ever, it has been proposed that If the
American flyers make the crossing
they will not attempt a landing in
Paris, but will merely touch the
ground there in token Of completion
OF the flight and will then proceed to
England for the final alighting.
1t is gratifying that the immediate
response of this Government to the
request for aid in hunting for the lost
flyers has been recognized in Paris
and has served to allay the first ex-
pressions of indignation. There was,
Of course, no loss of time in institut-
ing the hunt for Nungesser and Coli
when 1t became evident that they
were behind their schedule and were
possibly in peril. And it may be said
that the prevailing feeling in this
country is one of the deepest SYM
pathy and sorrow for the failure of
the Frenchmen, whatever may have
been their fate. II they are lost the
people Of the United States will mourn
them. They are gallant men. They
deserved to win. They took their
chance and they have failed. There
is still hope that they may be found
afioat and alive, and if they are
brought to these shores in rescue they
Will be hailed as heroes despite their
failure to win the international race.

While Vermont casts her electoral
votes for the Republican nominee for
President once every four years as
regularly as South Carolina registers
for the Democratic nominee, the
Green Mountain State nevertheless
plays its part in the national conven-
tions of the Democratic party, where
candidates are made and unmade.
Vermont's delegation is not so big.
But eight votes in the convention are
eight votes, and the Smith people are
probably counting on them today, al
though the governor lis not a candi-
date for any Office" In the 1924 con-
the Vermont delegation, at the begin
ming of the balloting for the presi-
Dental nominee, stood seven for Gov.
Smith and one for McAdoo. The del
egation divided that same way until
after a large number of ballots had
been cast, and then the whole delega-
ton voted for Smith.
Doubtless the Smith strength
among the Democrats Of Vermont is
still fourishing. So is the Coolidge
strength among the Republicans of
South Carolina. But that Mr.. Cool
idge will carry South Carolina or
Gov. Smith Will carry Vermont, if
they be opponents for the presidency
next year, is horse of another color
If Judge Olvany stuck his tongue in
his cheek when Mr.. Cook of Mount
Holly suggested that the Democrats
had a chance to carry Vermont next
year, who can blame him?

hand, it is cheering to think that Rus

other form. Mr.. kerensky gets slap
ped. Other Russian leaders have got
worse treatment. Mr.. Kerensky
should learn the great American game
of the box" The Akron Beacon Jour-
nal also advises that ''if these attacks
continue, Kerensky ought to take a
course in training from the nearest
stable devoted to promoting the gentle
art of prize fighting. The lads there
can teach him how to take heavy
wallop on the jaw and come through
the ordeal smiling and none the worse
for the encounter"
With a tribute to Kerensky'S sim
cerity, the Burlington Gazette never
theless holds that when he unloosed
the restraints that had so long held
the Russian people in check, he might
have foreseen the tragic results OF
freedom so bounteously bestowed.
Perhaps. in the long rum" adds that
paper, sit would have been better to
permit Russia to proceed under the
old regime of the Cars than to have
gone to the other extreme. Kerensky
surely is facing a stone wall. as he
has no friends, either among the Roy
alistS or the Communists"

Noting that the Czarist attack was
declared to have been made 'in order
to call public attention to what Ke-
rensky is doing in this country" the
Pittsburgh Sun states as to the as
sailant: He seems, however, to have
wished to air certain grievances of
the CZariSt eXileS against kerenSky.
But it is as much of an error to sup
pose that Americans were ever in SYM
pathy with CzariSt rule in Russia as it
is to believe that they now favor the
Bolshevist government. Americans
as individuals are, for the most part,
opposed to either. The attacks on Ke-
rensky aid his cause. A man who can
excite bitter hatred of both extremes
must have something that appeals to
moderates. The American ideal or
democracy is as far removed from
czarism as from communism"
Russia will never go back to car
ISM the Waterloo Tribune is con.
but in time it will get around
to some such government as Kerensky
tried to organize. Now, with his ex-
perience. he is as much anti -Bolshevist
as he was anti-Czar; showing he is
smart enough to learn lesson"

''He has done all that the Good Book
specifies" says the Providence Bulle-
tin of kerensky's conduct in this coun-
try. ''IIe has been struck on the one
cheek in New York. and turned the
other in Chicago. He can begin to
fend for himself now and smack back.
These Czarists cannot be such good
or We would have heard
more about them in Russia" Face
iiously scenting national danger here
If the slapping practice continues, the
Bulletin says: "We Americans are en-
thusiastic imitators. We follow for
eign customs with avidity, once such
customs become the vogue. If some
one slapS kerensky in st. Louis, some
one else in Denver. and still some one
else in San Francisco, II will become
a matter of civic pride with everybody
offering a hand. These ways must be
nipped in the bud. And the best way
To- nip them is by delicate substitution
Df some other distraction.

SHOOTING STARS.

The Standardized Muse.

InG StdUudFUiLcu NlUScs
Where is the triolets delicate charm,
And where is the sonnet sedate?
"Alas," said the bard, there is now
no time
For the rhymings that complicate.
For, how can we gather the old-time
grace
That is still so sincerely priced
With a system that sets the produc-
tion pace
For Muse who is standardized?
Swift is the click Of the tipping ma
chine,
And the hand for the brain sets the
task.
A rondo, we'll studied, with phrasing
so clean,
Is too much, in reason. to ask.
So, pardon the poet with sentences
long,
While the thought may be under
sized.
You'll have to be patient and Jig it
along
With Muse who is standardized"

Isaiah, 1870

NAL ceremonial observance of the
ritual into an ethical and spiritual re-
ligion. He insisted upon repentance
and a reformation of their life as
proof that they were not mere pro-
fessors of religion, but possessors of
spiritual faith with a social express
sion. He demanded that they make
justice their aim, check the oppressor,
restrict crime. judge the fatherless,
plead for the widow and defend the
unprotected woman
God encouraged all to reform their
lives by Offering to settle the differ
ences that had arisen between the peo-
pie and Himself, saying, Come, let
us bring our reasoning to close, saith
the Lord. Though your sins be as scar
|, they shall be aswhite as snow; though
they be red like crimson. they shall be
as WOOL" When our lives have been
purified and redeemed through His
grace then we can draw near to Him
in worship with clean lives and a sim
cere desire to glOrify Him. In our
model prayer, that Jesus gave to His
disciples we were taught to pray for
give our debts, as we forgive our
debtors" In the parable of the Good
Samaritan we are taught the practical
side of worship. James teaches us
that pure religion and undefled be-
fore our God and Father is this, to
visit the fatherless and widows in
their affiiction and to keep oneself un-
spotted from the world" The word
translated religion means ritual, show
ing the agreement of the prophet with
the Lord Jesus and James, the first
pastor of Jerusalem Church.
The closing verses Of the yesson "pre-
sent the great alternative, obedience
and disobedience. which will lead to
disaster and ruin in war" We can
decide the way we wish to go, but if
we worship God in sincerity and truth
we must first be pardoned from our
sins and try to live out among men
the teachings of Christ Jesus. Let US
seek to reveal our faith by our service
for the glory of our Lord by helping
to develop His kingdom and the ex-
pansion of His church among men.
Christianity is the only faith that can
save our country and civilization. Let
us demonstrate it's reality in our wor-
ship and work.
