regained our breath, so, with wry faces
at the boiling current, We slid off our
rock and struck out for the bank. It
was some minutes before We made a
landing. Mournfully I emptied the
water from my kodak. And then We
righted the capsized boat.

GERMANY ASKS RETURN
 OF FORMER COLONIES

to rankle in the German mind.
 Dr. Johann Haber of the former East African government urged that the possibility of Germany's s re-entry as a colonial power. es- pecially in the Pacific, should never be lost sight of.
 Agreement was reached on the point that German schools still existing in the former colonies should receive every possible sup port from the homeland, and that the welfare of the remaining Ger man clements in the different man. dated territories should have in- creased attention. Upon this the women's section of the German Red Cross Society made a spon- taneous offer to contribute $5,000 in aid of German education in the East African territory now under the mandates of Great Britain and Belgium.

STUTTGART Germany, Aug. 3. Headers of Germany's fight to regain colonies lost after the war are preparing to carry their cause into all countries.
 The movement shows signs of gaining momentum in Germany as the belief slowly spreads that the lhss of African and Asiatic colonieshit the nation harder than the confiscation of German ocean liners. N
 At the last meeting of the Deutsche Kolonial Gesellschaft ir this city the idea was stressed that ships can be built, but that colon- ies cannot be acquired by inven- tive genius or science.

 TODEMOCRACY
Elation in Smith Camp Over Gaining George
 Peek as Supporter

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-There is elation in the Smith camp over adhesion of George N. Peek, farm leader of Illinois. to the Demo- cratic cause and it is believed this will be a signal for others to join him on farm relief.
 When asked what effect Her bert c. Hoover's speech of accept ance on farm relief would have. Peek said: q think that no cam paign promises which Mr. Hoover will now make for the purpose of putting himself into the good graces of the farmer will obliter ate his past record from grain and livestock producers, many of whom have lost or are in the process of losing their homes.
 As Food Administrator during the war Hoover was largely re- sponsible for the expansion of az riculture and as agricultural ad. visor to the past two administra tions he has been more responsi- ble for it's continuing depression than any other man in the nation.
 Peek had a two-hour conference with Gov. Smith yesterday and the latter reiterated that he stool on the farm plank of the Demo- cratic platform and indicated he had not, yet worked out in his mind how agricultural surpluse. should be handled for the benefit of farmers. ..
 Bolts Party
 Peek announced he had bolted the Republican Party and told the Smith leaders this. He was a champion of the McNary- -Haugen farm relief bill.
 Peek said he would enlist under the Smith banner.
 Gov. Smith reaffirmed his in- tion of calling the best minds in advice for shaping a farm relief program. mentioning former Gov Frank o. Lowden, of Illinois, as one of the Republicans he would like to consult.
 Peek is chairman of the Commit tee of 22 of the North and Central states on agriculture conference

Our Urge to Create
-BY BRUCE CATTON.

In New York there is little old lady, "a, spends
all her time painting pictures.
Thirty-four years ago the last of her children had
grown up and gone out into the world. For the rest
OF her life, this womans time to ''be her own"
as we say. Always she had wanted to paint; so she
bought an easel, canvases, brushes and paint
and proceeded to crafty her wish. She has been
painting pictures ever since.
To be the pictures she paints aren't very good
She never has sold any, and never has tried to- She
is painting for her own amusement and she is having
fine time doing it, too
And we have feeling that she is pretty wise
old lady.
In every one of us there is an impulse to make life
beautiful and significant to create something for the
pure joy of creating.
Some men fortunate enough to have jobs that
provide outlet for this impulse. Most of us are
not in that class. We can't i'll the hackened phrase
express ourselves" in work We have to seek ex-
preston in our spare time.
Too often we fail to find it. We get amusement
instead; we listen to music that else plays
read books and poems that someone else has written
go to the theater and see plays that someone else
conceived. And while these things are valuable they
leave us unSatiSfed
There is something in every man that makes him
want to do something of that kind himself
All right; why not try itP
Get box of paints and some brushes and paint
some pictures. Hunt up teacher and learn to play
the piano Or, if your taste that way sit down
with pad OF paper and pencil and write something.
Get a set of tools and make old ship models. Get a
box OF plastic clay and try your hand at sculpture
This isn't saying that you have undeveloped talent
Probably you haven't But that doesn't matter
In the old days. when life simpler and there
were fewer machines, it easy to find self
expression in ones daily work carriage maker for
instance, could get all the glow of creative work by
seeing his product grow under his hands Now he
can't for the simple reason that carriages aren't made
that way any more. Craftsmanship is disappearing.
But there are possibilities of deep and enduring
satisfaction for We all, in our evenings at
home, be artists poets musicians craftsmen.
We can make our lives more significant and more
enjoyable.

Commander Burney, Mp is already among us with
plans for beginning his Atlantic flights in NAV
June.
And, if the experiment goes he hopes, five more
and perhaps larger arships will be put in the same
service, built with Anglo American capital
But of one thing may be sure The British
admiralty will have the call on these ships in time
of war; just as it has the British merchant marine
We have nothing but good wishes for Command
er Burney and his airships We hope to welcome
the R-loo in this country soon on the first of an
intending series of successful voyages
But that does not prevent this newspaper from
earnestly voicing the warning that we must not for
get our own interests 1t we do, we soon shall see
Britain doing in the air what she already has done
with her merchant marine, namely carrying the
bulk of our business.
Commander Burney's presence in this country,
ana on such an errahd, ought to make us come to
our senses 1t is high time that something did it,
More power to the commander but let us not con,
tnue longer to neglect airship development in our
own country

We Still Have Railroads

samuel Rea, retired president of the PENNSYLVANIA
railroad does not think the railroads need to fear
alrpianes' water or motor competition very greatly
In speech in Philadelphia he predicted that fifty
years from now motor BUSES will have absorbed a
larger part of shorthaul passenger traffic than they
now carry and that arpanes will be supplying a
de luxe fast passenger and express SERVICE but the
railroads, he feels confident will still be doing the
bulk Of the work on long shipments.
so far the railroads themselves are concerned,
the progress of the next fifty years seems more likely
to be matter of orderly development than of rad-
cal change" he says.
This, of course, is the view of a railroad man and
you probably could find men in other professions to
disagree with him. To layman, however it does
appear that he has hit the nail pretty squarey where
it ought to be hit.

nor the Christ virtue did not lie
Il in justice only. nor in abStention
from evil, as it tended to do in the
code of the Puritans; it lay in &C

giving the hungry to eat and the
thirsty to drink, in clothing the
naked and sheltering the stranger,
in visiting the sick and comforting
the prisoner.
No wonder the common people
loved Him; who had so understood
their suffering before? No wonder
the women fell at His feet in melting
devotion; He was so sympathetic
with their burdens, so kind to their
children, and SO tender to their sins.
The story CT the woman
taken in adultery is of questionable
authenticity; hut though John alone
reports it. it is too congenial to the
nature Of the Master to be rejected
hastily.
Behind every fallen woman"
Jesus saw the man who had lured
her; it was in defense of women
that He spoke with such immoderate
severity of the erotic imagination of
the male; and with all His aversion
to the physical element in love He
could not bring Himself to send
Magdalen away. 1t is this intelligent
lenience with women that makes
him so fifty the Founder and Ideal
of the religion that taught the
feminine virtues to mankind.
AS for Himself he seemed i'm
muned to sex; he avoided marriage
and all family ties as hostile, in their
combining narrowness, to His task Of
preaching a linlitlesS love to the
world. His mission was all in all to
Him.
He would brand the cruelty and
luxury Of the rich, and redeem the
poverty and desolation of the poor.
He despised the acquisitive COM
mercialism that had displaced the
pastoral life of patriarchal days;
He carried on the protest OF the
prophets against the town.
