Beavers "Tootbpick 2"

A beaver has five toes on its hind
foot, but one of these toes is split in
two sections, and observers have sug-
gested that it may be used as tooth
pick, to remove splinters of wood
from between the beavers teeth.

Tortoises Find Haven
In Hawaii, After Flight

The famous tortoises Of the Galapagos
Islands, threatened with extinction by
'inroads of hunters. can be successfully
propagated in Hawaii. according to ex-
periments which are progressing there.
Six months ago, at the instance Of the
New York Geological Society, six tor
toises were brought into the Islands and
since then have been carefully nur-
tured here under close and sympathetic
observation. Far from pining for their
native heath, or whatever it Is one
pines for in Galapagos, the turtles are
gaining weight rapidly and the parks
superintendent reports that their dispo-
sitions are uniformly cheerful and
agreeable. One gained weight from 20
to 48 pounds In the SIX months and
all the others had substantial gains. A
tapeline measurement indicated a
growth Of more than an inch in girth,
indicating that the diet furnished In
Honolulu Is nourtshing. They feed large

And now the two main pillars of the
German National party's structure are
broken. The old Conservatives under
the leadership Of the highly respected
Count Westarp, who played a great
role in the pre-war Reichstag, have left
the party and the great agricultural or
banization of big German estate owners
has decided to found its own party.
All these elements have had enough
of Hugenberg's stubborn negativism
against the republic and the policy OF
understanding at home and abroad
They desire to be able to represent con-
sentative principles and especially
agrarian interests and, in contrast to
Hugenberg's policy, to make themselves
factor In the government. The

How much Hugenberg can rescue OF

him, but he controls the election funds
and has enormous newspaper holdings
throughout Germany. The new Con-

result can be Judged after an interval
of century and a half.
In Europe, also, the excuses Of pro-
tectionists and agricultural crises tend
to turn producers toward direct en-
tentes, ignoring frontiers. In recent
weeks there have been recorded numer-
Gus negotiations between industrial
leaders concerning zinc, tin, rubber
metallurgy. nitrates and talkies, and
the idea has been launched of forming
a European wheat cartel, corresponding
with the suggestion of Senator Thomas
regarding an international conference
of wheat-producing countries. Already
the Rumanian-Ju Observation-Disclosures Ag-
ricultural Conference has blazed q tran
in this direction.
Economic crises, which more and
more tend to assume a worldwide char
acter are an indubitable cause OF So
cial unrest and even war. A rapid sur
vey of the world suffices TO show that
the fall of silver Is at the root Of Chi
nese anarchy and also the troubles In
India and Indo-China, apart from boil
shevist indictments. Egypt is In state
of effervescence, and the millions of
unemployed In Europe increase old
hereditary passions which have eternally
generated wars. Give work and album
dance to all jobless men and they no
longer think of fighting, whereas misery
is an evil counselor and is easily trans
formed into hatred for more prosper
Gus neighborS.
If constructive effort tending to give
Europe its organic structure" is carried
on first of all on political plane, the
entire status of nations Is brought into
play, which Is q problem the United
States Of America had no occasion to
solve when 1t was constituted and which
in Europe Is insoluble.
Menace Is Diagnosed.
This menace IS all the graver be-
cause 1t is indefinite and disguised. Eu-
rope has been reorganized on the prin-
ciple Of nationalities, and reconstructed
nations are more Jealous of their terri
torial status and independence even
than the old ones were, which is say
ing much. Moreover. not one of the ma
tons DESTROYS of revising the treaties,
be 1t Germany, Hungary. or even Italy,
would dare to announce its claims
frankly. The mere statements of these
claims would be SUFFICIENT to set fire
to the powder magazine.
Take, for example, what the Germans
call "the daring reform of conditions
admittedly untenahle," namely the
problem of the Polish Corridor. It
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-07-27

originates In President Wilson's thir-
teenth point, which attributes to Poland
territories inhabited by uucontastedly
Polish populations, where sure and free
access seward must be assured.
This Corridor raises no real economic
difficulty, for 1t is inhabited by more
than 30 per cent Poles. Nevertheless
1t constitutes for Germans a political
situation which they consider insup-
portable There exists in Europe a
quantity of similar questions entailing
prestige which are almost insolubIe.
Must all these disputes be settled be-
fore attaining the object of a Federal
Union, or viii 1t be admitted that II Is
preferable to settle first the problem of
IS customs barriers and 81 monetary
systems existing In Europe? That Is
the whole question and the answer Will
come from Geneva in September, when

~ OORN.-Our second day at
Doom was Sunday and vas
rigidly observed-for the
~ Kaiser has been all his life a
pronounced practicing Chris
tan Lutheran. This is the more strange
in that his mother made no conceal
ment of her disposition to defect
broadly from orthodoxy in religion -
whether Lutheran or Anglican.
During his reign he probably die more
in. the way of building churches and
encouraging piety than any Of his
progenitors- withal he was perfectly
sincere. Edward VII, on the contrary,
broke every commandment that he
stumbled against, and waXed hugely in
popularity. Yet the subjects OF King
Edward were no less respectable and re-
ligious than those of william II. These
are paradoxes that puzzle the very young
and make the gray boards grieve.
Another interesting feature OF the
Kaiser is his persistent faith in Gods
goodness when most Of us would have
quoted the ode to Panama mosquito
as intoned by Stanley Gilbert:
He draws his little dagger and cocks
his little eye,
And makes the mildest Christian curse

Kaiser Shows Spirit OF Job.
Mark Twain became blaasphemous
after the death of his beloved wife

Job: 1.-THE Lord Giveth and the Lord
taketh away-blessed be the name Of
the Lord!"
We may have our differences Of opin-
ion with respect to church creeds, but
few of us can ignore the power of re-
ligion in the lives Of many notable SOL
diers and statsmen. We have only to
recall Washington and Cromwell, who
were certainly neither myStics nor
hypocrites-and William II makes a
worthy third.

questions raised by Aristide

Il replies made by the various
powers there is one which pro-
vokes an interesting controversy, name

argued: without being subordinated
one to the other there are two principal
motives for the activity of people,
namely, political and economic, which
exercise reciprocal action one on the

ing that the one cannot be settled with
out the other and that both problems
must proceed on the same level in the
formation of European federal union.
1t is perfectly understood that any
comparison between the the United
