Long Pants Diplomacy

Whatever Ambassador Dawes lacks in convention

This business of wearing trousers at the court Of

BATTLE OF MONMOUTH
June 2S.

.nNE HUNDRED FIFTY ONE
" years ago today. June %, l778,
the British were defeated in the
Revolutionary war battle Of Mon
mouth by Americans under George
Washington.
The English army, under Sir Hen
ry Clinton had evacuated Philadel-
phia and reached Freehold, Nor
mouth county, n. j.. June g.
Washington, following closely re-
solved TO attack Clintons left wing,
5000 strong, marching in the rear,
and detailed General Charles Lee
with 5000 troops to assail its flank
until the main division could
come up.
Lee advanced accordingly, but,
instead of attacking, Intentionally
wasted time in feinting and futile
maneuvers, and, after little skir-
mishing, ordered a general retreat.
Rushing forward, Washington re-
buked Lee, rallied the demoralized
forces and checked the advance of
the British.
The English then fell back and
took up a strong position, but we're
forced to withdraw to the heights of
Middletown.
Lee was shortly afterward tried
by court-martial for his conduct

P0rD0tUat0S Name

CMITHSON achieved enough sue
- cess as a scientist to satisfy any
man, but with all his brilliant mind
he was a slave to tradition.
Though rated as knowing more
about chemistry than any resident
member Of Oxford at Il, and though
elected fellow Of the Royal Society
at q, he still felt himself a social
outcast because Of his birth.
When he died at Genoa, Italy. on
June 81, 1929, after having spent
most of his later life away from
England, he left his fortune of more
than half a million dollars to a
nephew with the condition that if
the nephew died without issue it
would revert to the United States.
He did this for two reasons-first,
in the interest Of science; second, to
perpetuate his name.

Stranpn Parallel

THERE is a strange parallel be-
Il tween the lives of James
Snlithson and Count Rumford.
The former, though an English
man. did much for scientific de-
ve!opment in America.
The latter, though an American,
did as much. if not more, for SCI
entific development in Europe.
Both were the victims Of an un-
kind fate.
Smithson suffered because of the
circumstances of his birth; Rum
ford by being charged with trea son
through the jealousy Of some fellow
officers.
Both became eminent as scientists
in a Gay when science was young.
Both we're voluntary exiles from
their native lands during later life.
Both were spurred on by a de-
termination to win a place that
the social and political bias of their
day denied them, and both sue
ceeded.

type of vacation for both parents
and children.
That, after all, is a matter which
every parent will have to decide for
himself.
The primary object Of vaca-
ton is rest, and the primary OBJ
iect of rest is relief from strain.
Some persons suffer far greater
strain during time when they are
not occupied than in an interesting
employment.
Most people feel the strain Of the
vacation the first two or three days.
Since the vacation activities bring
into play muscles and Iigaments
not usually used, the vacation
should therefore be taken up
gradually,

his life he carried his mothers fam

4 CASE far reaching in its inlpll-
IA cations vas tried this week
before old Judge Burrows of New
London. 1t has been the proud
privilege, or possibly the painful
duty, of this venerable magistrate
to decide upon two noteworthy oc-
casions that the truth is dangerous
and must be penalized.
1t was this same wise jurist who
placed Mrs. bennett within the
shadow of a jail sentence because
she dared to speak out frankly about
sex. And now Professor Macintosh
Of Yale has been denied citizenship
because he was audaciouS enough
to admit that concerning wars he
insisted upon being choosey,
Upon first glance this may seem
10 more than an affirmation OF the
supreme courts judgment in the
case Of Rosika SchWimmer. DR..
Macintosh is a Canadian who served
four years in the great war. He is
not at the present time pacifist.
l deplore the decision which the
high court made in barring Rosika
SchWimmer, but the scope of that
case was decidedly limited. The ap-
plicant declared that under no cir
cUu1stances would she consent to
bear arms in defense of her adopted
country.
Since Mrs SchWinmer is Wonl-
an of middle age, anybody but
lawyer would say, What Of it? The
issue will never come up" Courts
axe more whimsical. Probably the
litigant seemed to them a symbol
and by a divided vote the supreme
court held that Mrs. Schwimmer'
unwillingness to bomb Berlin made
her unworthy of the benefits Of cit
izenship.
The supreme court is our last word
in legal Interpretation, but not nee
essarily the final authority in JUS
tice and hard common sense.
