There are no party lines In newspa-
per discussion of the suggestion that
Charles G. Dawes may be sent 10 one
OF the great European powers as AM
bassador of the United States. The
prospect of having such vigorous and
colorful personality in the diplomatic
service. strikes favorable chord almost
everywhere

most cultured men in American public
life" the Binghamton Press says that
his grasp of foreign financial PROB
lens is unusual and his temperament
is sufficiently vigorous to assure the
United States Government of an ade-
quate representation"
Dawes knows his limitations and
one may bank on his properly doing
any job that he would undertake. He
has always done So" declares the
Kansas City Journal-Post, and the
Yakima Daily Republic concludes that
"he will be a credit to the administra-
ton and will add to the already hlgn
esteem in which he is held by his
fellow citizens" The Springfield, ILL.,,
State Register states: ANY doubts as
to his discretion in diplomatic matters
are obscured by his record of tactful
department in situations abroad which
would have tested the equanimity and
balance of many a statesman of better
surface qualifications. He has ability,
prestige and wealth equal to ell re-
quirements.'

One of the most feared demons of to-
Gay Is named Repression.
Nowadays many respectable people
have a greater fear of this sad demon
than they have for the devil
No one has ever seen the devil, they
will tell you. but every ono has seen
many examples of Repression.
Horrible things are done to children
by the Demon Representatives, too
awful to be mentioned in polite society.
A child attacked by this demon be-
ctmes Case And Case, as every one
knows. is nothing more nor less than
Toplc-something which is discussed at
hospital round-tables.

Shyness, lack of confidence, noodi-
ness, fear--these are some of the ter
rible qualities which the Demon Re-
preston slyly instills into little children.
Suppose he leaves too. bits Of i'm
politeness sticking into their minds and
hearts, rough slivers of impudence,
coarse fibers of discourtesy and large
chunks Of thoughtlessness.
Well, those are concomitants which
cannot be helped, according to the view
of those who nightly fear the Demon
Repression. The good fairies Time and
ChpCL lCllCC Will LUZ away at
and the New Man will stand forth in
all his glory.
One of the -Women-to-Be. aged
6 years, came, along the street on her
way from school. She had sweet face
and a well bred look.
She stopped to admire some crocuses
blooming beneath an evergreen. Sew
eral small companions joined her.
Bending down over the bright yellow
and vivid purple flowers. small Hor-
tense-which name will do as we'll as
any--gazed at them with something
more than admiration.
A desire for possession swelled in her
fine black eyes. Now Hortense had
never met the Demon Repression in
any of his DISCUSSES; she knew nothing
whatever about him.
I'm going to pick them," she an
nounced.
Her small companions, who must
have met Repression In some form or
other, cried her nay.
"Oh, no." they said. in chorus. They
don't belong to you"
yes. I am" asserted Hortense. NOV

Sure enough, just as Hortense was
about to grab the little crocuses by
the back of their necks, and yank
them from the soil forever. large
Ogre appeared--a tremendous Ogre. a
fearful Ogre.
X *
This great Ogre had no little Hor-
lenses of his own, and therefore, &C.
cording to the canons of those who fear
the Demon Repression, he could not
possibly love Hortense, or even under

This fearful fellow was never known
to send flowers to little neighbors who
were i'll. or to purchase them candy,
or in any way to attempt TO be good

Brave Words,

With Won Kluck pressing on toward
Paris in 1914, Marshal Foch sent one Of
those cryptic messages to his superior
officer, Joffre, that somehow are CHS
eled, like an epitaph in marble, upon
the scrolls of history:
My right is crushed. My left is in re-
treat. am attacking with my center.
Such words become traditions. Men
thing about them is the spontaneity of
their birth. Had Foch written. But
am attacking with my center" the in
sertion of that harmless conjunction
would have made of that message a
studied and rather grandiloquent bid for
fame. Without the "but" we have a
very real picture Of gallant soldier.
Early in his Civil War career Grant
was awakened one night by q courier,
bearing a message from the Confederate
Gen. Buckner, whom Grant had sur
rounded. Buckner wanted to talk terms.
Grant wrote, and naturally enough, be-
cause he had Buckner corked like fly
in a bottle, mo terms except an imme-
date and unconditional surrender can
be accepted. I propose to move imme-
diately upon your works" Within few
days the North was hailing and prais.
ing Grant as Unconditional Surrender
Grant" and his message to Buckner be-
came classic. Some time later Grant
was hewing his way through the bloody
Wilderness toward Richmond. He wrote
to Gen. Halleck, I'VE have now ended
the sixth day of very hard fighting
propose to fight it out on this
line if it takes all Summer" That last
sentence was written in books. No man
was more surprised than the matter-of-
fact Grant that such simple utterances
should become historic. They became
historic because they were living images
of their progenitor.
One may believe that Oliver Cromwell
devoted some thought to marshaling
those words, PUT your faith in God,
but keep your powder dry" Such q
philosophical adage must have taken a
little time to manufacture. And when
Ethan Allen surprised the British at
Ticonderoga and ordered them to sur
render I'm the name OF Great Jehovah
and the Continental Congress" one
must remember that the stalwart Ethan
afterward had time to write full ac-
count of the affair to the Massachusetts,
Congress.
But Farragut's Damn the torpedoes !
Full speed ahead" John Paul Jones II

dying Lawrence's plea, Don't give up
the ship! Fight her till she sinks!''
ring with simple truth. None Of them
sounds like great men trying to say
great things. Perhaps they were never
uttered. Maj. Whittlesey of the so-called
Lost Battalion" was credited with
telling the Germans to Go to hell!'
when they sent him message asking
his surrender to save further loss Of life
He became known as "Go-to-hell Whit
tlesey," but he denied that he ever
acknowledged in any way the German
message.
Some of the brave words of brave men
may never have been uttered until the
story tellers began to tell their tales
But they are brave words, just the same
More power to them!

Is they who become the thief victims
of the slump, which has Its origin in
the discount rate policy Initiated by
the Federal Reserve Board in the hope
of discouraging and arresting insensate
speculation
Time will show whether they have
learned their lesson. The speculative
fever has well-nigh seized the whole
country Hamlet. town and city are
victims of it. Men and women who for
merly did not know the meaning of
stocks and bonds-and do not even

It remains to be seen whether the
lambs will profit from their recurring
and inevitably disastrous brushes with
the bulls and bears. Perhaps it is too
much to expect of human nature to
hope that they will. The craze for sud-
den wealth is human passion not to
be wiped out as easily as inadequate
margins on falling market.
OF one thing the public should and
can be certain, namely. that crashes in
Wall Street have nothing to do with
the fundamentals of national business
conditions. The lambs may gambol and
gamble in New York to their hearts
content. Whether they are shorn of
their paper profits or not, as prices soar
or sag, at bedrock the fabric of Ameri-
can economic prosperity is safe and
sound. 1t is laid too deep and too Sc
curely to be shaken by margin mongers
and their victims on the Stock Elk

attitude from that of the district lead

in New York that none of the district

If not district leader--who Is to be-

Quincy Adams. Mr. Adams served for
a long time in the House. Mr.. Coolidge
is familiar with the Senate. He pre-
sided over that body as Vice President
and President of the Senate for two
and a half years.
One thing which may or may not
have an influence upon the attitude OF
Mr.. Coolidge with regard to the sug-
gestion he run for the Senate lies in
the need of Massachusetts, to put its
best foot forward If 1t Is not to finally
be lined up as Democratic State. The
State went for Democratic nominee
for President last November and re-
elected Senator David I. Walsh. a Demo-
crat. Mr. Coolidge is regarded as the
greatest vote getter among the Repub-
iicans whom the party could put for
ward next year. Senator Gillett has
had long and honorable career as a
member of Congress. He was elected
to the House in 1892 and was reelected
continuously member of that body
until he was nominated and elected
Senator in 1924, defeating Senator
Walsh Mr.. Gillett served several terms
as Speaker of the House, just prior TO
his election to the Senate. Next Oc-
tober he will be Is years old. But they
don't call that "old' in New England,

years of service yet. He may prefer

23.-Lack of sufficient meat in the

between university students and po-
lice which have alarmed authorities

The municipal kitchen itself was

Of Prague's student population. Dis
satisfied with the size of the por-

rebelled.
Later university disorders were the
result Of protests Of German and
Czech Nationalist against foreign
Jewish students. The former de-
manded strict limitation of the
number of foreigners permitted to
enroll. and tried forcibly to expel
the Jews from the German univer-
sity and Prague Technical college.
The increasing intensity Of the
rioting is alarming the authorities
IN some quarters it is believed it
may be necessary to close the Tech

The situation is further compli-
Gated by indications of growing IN

PERSHINC SEES
NO EUROPEAN
UNITED STATES
American War Chief Back
at Washington Desk
in 'Civies.'
BY HARRY w. FRANTZ
United Press staff Correspondent
copyright, 1929, by United Press)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Times
fleeing pageant brings General
Pershing at intervals back from
France" and now, exactly ten years
after the historic homecoming of
the World war, he again is at his
desk in the granite building of The
state and war departments.
Pershing of 1919 and Pershing of
1929 are not SO very different,
visitor finds; the one, in uniform,
ears still ringing from cannon and
plaudits, eagerly concerned about
the peace-time military establish
ment; the other, civilian-garbed, ten
years grayer, still with the ever
lurking thought of the national Sc
curity.
General Pershing does not grant
interviews. One learns his thought
from the fragments of his vivid and
curiously cosmopolitan conversation.
1.-THE United States of Europe"
he said, sis a dream, not likely to
be realized to a greater extent than
a possible trade agreement. There
is no analogy between the United
States of America and the suggested
United States of Europe.
"One is formed of states with a
common tradition, identical Ian
guage, and similar economic in
terests, naturally seeking firmer
union. Europe, on the other hand,
composed of states each possessing
an intense national spirit, each
proud of its history and seeking its
own pathway into the future.
Europe is we'll on the road to
industrial recuperation. Approval
of the reparations settlement and
final allied evacuation of the Rhine
land will hasten this process. Hope
full sign for permanent European
harmony is the disposition of the
countries to work out mutual agree
ments in solving vexatious industrial
and commercial problems"
