Potomac is its guarantee that an I'M

able and peace-loving America.
At no less pains is President Hoover
to let our neighbors overseas know that
his program for warless international
relations contemplates American pre-
paredness. Peace can be contributed
to-" he points out. "by respect for our
ability in defense" There is a vast
meaning in those dozen words. They
give no comfort to those elements in
our own country which conceive that
the way to promote peace is to be I'M
prepared for its violation by others.
Yet President Hoover signally fails
to proclaim himself an apostle of swollen
ornaments. In acclaiming the Kellogg
pact for remuneration OF war he ad-
dresses a significant invitation to for
eign governments: 1.-THE acceptance of
the pact should pave the way to greater
limitation of armament, the offer of
which we sincerely extend to the world"
That distinctly suggests the possibility
that President Hoover in due course
may summon the nations to another
Washington conference.

Mr.. Hoover's Foreign Policy.

Attention at home will naturally be
concentrated on those passages in
President Hooyer's inaugural address
which most directly concern domestic
affairs. Abroad, conversely, emphasis
will be laid upon its indications Of the
incoming administrators foreign policy.
Mr.. Hoover's international program
can be epitomized in one word-peace.
1--WE not only desire peace with the
world" he declares, "but to see peace
maintained throughout the world"
The United States has never indicted
into the presidency man to whom war
is more abhorrent than 1t is to Herbert
Hoover. He abhors war because he &C.
tually .waded through the ravages of
the most destructive war of all times.
His fame was founded on the distress,
despair and devastation which 1t
wrought. He was ordained to accom-
plish fabulous results in healing the
wounds of that war, and the work of
salvage filled him with an unfathomable
hatred for its savagery and brutality
It was not the inevitable carnage Of the
battlefield that made Herbert Hoover
detest war. He carries through life
rather the indelible memories of the
havoc that modern war spreads among
its most innocent victims-women,
children and civilians generally.
To understand President Hoover's
reference to peace at the Capitol yes
terday we need to bear these considera-
tons in mind. Nothing else is needed
to explain the simple affirmation that
II covet for this administration record
of having further contributed to ad-
vance the cause of peace" What he
saw in Belgium during the war. and
what he experienced in Central and
Eastern Europe after the armistice fired

resolve to consecrate his life to peace.
His opportunity has come. The world
beyond our shores will not find him
wanting. A Hoover government on the

Revolt in Mexico,

Keenly interested in affairs in Mex
hco, for the peace and progress of which
they ardently hope, the American peo-
pie are distressed to learn of a renewed
outbreak Of revolution in that country.
Coming as 1t did coincidentally with
the Inauguration of the President Of
the United States, this revolt has from
the American viewpoint an especially
sinister character. It more emphatically
marks the contrast between the two
republics. Here the orderly processes
of law In the maintenance Of repre-
sentative government are followed I'M
alterably. There the legally established
mode Of administration is replaced by
force.
This new revolt would seem to be a
serious one. 1t is headed by military
leader, Gen. Jesus Maria Aguirre, once
an intimate friend Of Obregon. He is
seconded by Gen. Francisco Manzo, also
once identified with the Obregon forces.
They. have seized important centers and
set up insurrectionary authority In the
States Of Vera Cruz and Sonora, re-
spectively. Seven other states have been
reported as in revolt. It Is limited that

Geologist Sees Signs
Of Ice Ages Return
BY E. E. FREE, PHI. ID.

The theory that another Ice Age is
creeping slowly back on Northern Eu-
rope and North America, revived in
European minds by the unusual cold
of the present Winter, has received the
support of the distinguished German
geologist, Prof. Walther Gotham of the
Prussian Geological Survey, who bases
his suggestions largely on the evidence
of fossil plants.
The Ice Age was not, Prof. Gotham
points out, a single period of cold.
Instead, 1t was divided into several
glacial periods separated by warm inter-
glacial periods. During these inter-
glacial periods plants migrated north
ward behind the edge OF the melting
ice, leaving their fossils in rectangular
succession. First came stunted bushes
and grass plants like those which now
grow on the tundraS Of Alaska and
Siberia. Behind these, as the climate
grew warmer, came forests of pine and
birch trees. Finally, toward the middle
of each warm interglacial period, the
forests were of beech trees, as the
natural European forests are now.
When each interglacial period gave
way, in turn, to renewed cold and ice,
this plant sequence followed the re-
verse order; beeches were replaced by
birch and pine, these by the tundra,
this, finally, by the ice. A few CEN
turtles ago, Prof. Gotham believes, the
present beech forests of Europe were
larger than now. Already, he suspects,
birch and pine trees have begun to
supplant then1--perhaps a sign that
twenty thousand or thirty thousand
years from now the ice age viii be back.

1t is interesting to speculate where
she works. Shortly she will be through
her breakfast. Then she will slide her
ur-collared coat from the back of the
chair around her slight shoulders,
gather up her pocketbook and her
paper, and shortly will be out the front

Maybe she goes to large department

artificial flowers, or furniture, or
