or "have all mankind against her. The
consequence was the declaration of
Paris, which conceded that 1.-The neutral
nag covers enemy goods, except contra
band" and that neutral goods, ex-
cepting contraband, are not liable to
capture under the enemy flag"
Theory Fails to Work.
Such was the theory, but, like so
many theories, it failed to work. Rules
of contraband and blockade were
widened so greatly as to leave small
protection to neutral commerce. We
widened the rules in the Civil War,
they. were widened again in the Franco
German war, they were widened still
more in the Russo-Japanese war, and
they practically were wiped out In the
World War. The declaration Of Lon
don $4,000 had stipulated an elaborate
code of rules of war at sea, but these
followed the principles of Paris into dis
use and futility. Indeed, Britain found
herself in the thick of the World War
before ratifying the declaration of Lon
don, and she eagerly availed herself Of
her legal freedom to ignore it.
We have seen, then, that men fight
at sea because they approach every in
ternational question from local instead
of a general point Of view, and because
tanned to the extreme of war. We have
seen also that the rules of maritime
hostilities are observed or overridden
by a nation according as that nations
fortunes, at the time, stand to gain or
lose by the one course or the other.
We have seen, too. that war after war
has broken through the meshes Of all
history and repeatedly enthroned might
as the arbiter Of the struggle.
Solution Of DifficuIty.
What. II any. is the way out?
Clearly, nationalism must yield to in
ternationaliSm in matters interna-
tionally overlapping, just as State In
terestS, in q Federal system like that
of America, must yield to the COM
mon interests of the republic. In other
words, world affairs must be handled,
II they are to be handled without war,
by means of a world, not a national,
approach-the explanation of all the
great international conferences, whether
of two persons or Of more, since the
armistice of 1918.
Clearly, further, rules and warfare,
legal principles and fighting, are mu-
tually annihilatory. II you have law
you cannot have war. If you have
war you cannot have law. To try
to mix them is to try to mix fire and
water. The only hope would seem to
be to unite the whole moral and in
tellectual energy Of civilization for
peace.
Something in that direction-much,
verify. in that direction-should be ac-
complished by the forthcoming naval
conference in London. That conference
should give marked additional impetus
to peace. 1t should do it by sounding
the deathknell Of competition in naval
to land disarmament, and by further
solidifying the world against aggression.

quote figures like he can. And he
always pulls new one for us.

the Republicans refer to as "busi-

have done nothing but tell us of the
strength of the country. steel was
strong" ct & T was strong" Radio

We have been "stronged" to death
in speeches and statements, but last
night Mr.. Coolidge said, 1.-The heart
of the American people is strong"
and here over 500 died of heart fail
ure during the late Republican re-
adjustment" What he really meant
was that "the American public's head
Is strong but his heart Is weak"

UNCLE WIGGILY SCARES
THE FOX

Uncle Wiggily stood beside a big
bag Of Christmas presents, hiding
behind bush in the woods, a long
way from his hollow stump bunga-
low. The reason the rabbit gentle
man was hiding was because, out in
front. stood the Fuzzy Fox. shifting
and shopping, trying to see if he
could find a bunny to nibble.
AS 7 told you in the story before
this, Uncle Wiggily, to help Santa
Claus, had gone out with big bag
to gather up some Christmas pres
ents ahead Of time. There were so
many bunny boys and girls, to say
nothing of Baby Bunty, the orphan
child, in the bungalow that if Mr.
Longears had waited until the day
before Christmas to see about the
presents, some one might have to go
without gifts.
So Mr.. Longears had gone around
to the different toy stores. where
Santa Claus had left the gifts, and
the bunny gentleman had gathered
into a big bag, dolls. roller skates,
drums, popguns, make believe fire
engines and many jolly things like
that. And it was when he was on
his way home. that stopping TO rest
behind bush, Uncle Wiggily saw

CALENDAR TALK
MADE TO LOCAL
Den OF LIONS

r. H. Allen was speaker OF the
day at the Lions Club meeting yes
terday at the Barbara Worth hotel
discussing the origin of the calendar
its development and the proposed
change to a 13 months calendar
that is being advocated by certain
groups.
At the time when Julius Caesar
revised the calendar, there were 345
days, the great Roman conqueror
adding 81 This made a lengthy
and cumbersome calendar. and IN
1882 the present one was adopted.
The speaker discussed the influ-
ence of religion on the calendar
which is shown in the names OF the
months, some of which are named
after the Roman deities and others
as we'll as the days of the week
after the Teutonic gods or those OF
other pagan religions.
Liberty is the name chosen ior
the thirteenth month of the calen-
dar being advocated, one OF its chief
supporters being Sears Roebuck Co

But I think he hasn't seen me
yeti" whispered Mr. Longears to
himself. He didn't dare start out
and run for if ne carried the big,
heavy bag of toys, the Fox surely
would have caught him.
Then the Fox shifted very hard.
I'm afraid he smells mel"
thought Mr.. Longears. For you
know that wild animals can find
other creatures to nibble almost as
well by shifting with their noses
as they can by seeing with their
eyes.
A moment later along came the
| Woozie Wolf.
"Oh, dear me! This is getting
seriousl" thought the bunny behind
the bush.
What are you doing here?"
asked the Wolf Of the Fox.
Il came out TO hunt that Uncle
Wiggily rabbit" answered the Fox
do you see him?" asked the 9TH
er Bad Chap.
NO" I don't see him, but I sort
Of smell him" answered the Fox,
shifting hard again. Then the Wolf
began to sniff and snuff.
Seems TO me" howled the Wolf, II
also smell Uncle Wiggily. But can't
see him!"
This was true because Uncle Wig
gily was behind the big bag Of toys
and the bag was back Of bush.
IF we both smell him. then he
must be somewhere around here, "
went on the Fox Let's look!"
"Oh, I fear it is all up with me
now!" murmured Mr.. Longears.
They will come behind the bush and
they'll see me-unless-unless--
Suddenly Uncle Wiggily had a
thought as bright as a flashlight.
"In jump in the bag, pull some OF
the toys over my head TO cover me
and then the Bad Chaps can't see
mel" he said. THAT will be good

the Fox and Wolf were shifting and
snuffing around in front of the bush
Uncle Wiggily behind it, climbed
into the bag of toys, taking out
some of the top ones and piling
them over his head so he was quite
hidden from sight. And as the bag
was of cloth, enough air came
through SO Mr.. Longears could
reathe.
I'm going to look behind this
bushl" suddenly barked the Fox. Il
see something there
Go ahead look" agreed the
Wolf. I'll take sniff back of this
big rock. Oh, but I'm hungry
Inside the bag, where he was well
hidden. Uncle Wiggily heard the
Fox creep closer and closer. Then
the Bad Chap stopped, opened the
bag and looked inside.
'Hum" he said out loud.
Have you found Uncle Wiggily?'
howled the Wolf.
mo, it's only bag OF Christmas
presents!" answered the Fox. Il
can't eat them! Here's some dolls
and drums and a make believe fire
engine!" With that the Fox picked
up the fire engine. Now this was
a jolly good toy and it squirted real
water if you pressed a rubber ball
on the end of little hose. Before
getting this toy Uncle Wiggily had
the toy store clerk put real water
in the fire engine and it WASH I
cold enough, just then, to freeze it.
SO when the Fox picked up this
top he accidentally squeezed the
rubber ball. Out of the hose squirt
ed a stream of water and it hit the
Bad Chap right in his eyes. nose
and mouth.
oh, On! Oh! Cookie whoopie!''
howled the scared Bad Chap, drop
ping the toy and running away.
oh, what surprise! Oh, wowl"
What's the matter?' yelled the
Wolf.
Don't ask me! Rum Rum" an
swered the Fox So the two Bad
Chaps ran away, leaving Mr.. Long
ears safe in the bag of toys and he
soon hoped to his bungalow with
them. And if the penny will be
good and cat a lot of spinach and

you next about Uncle Wiggily s

BEST FOOT FORWA ARD

CONGRATULATIONS are due the El Gen.
tro Chamber of Commerce and the mer-
chants of the city for the splendld ap-
pearance which Main streets presents al
night. all bedecked in holiday t1nery.
With the inauguration of the colored
lighting system last night the street re-
sembled one from some falryland oooA.
Merchants and residents may well be
proud of it. There are not many clIleS
of our size that will make such marked
observance of Christmas and strangers
coming here are certain to get ldNoI-
able impression of the city.
None can look upon the gay lights ana
the Christmas trees without acquiring
something of the spirit OF Christmas;
It stimulates and invigorates adults and
in all probability will be positive Joy
to every youngster who sees 1t. AND eN-
erv youngster in the city should see 1t;
Christmas is really their holiday ana
their minds are keen to register every
impression connected with 1t.
Main street looks so nice by night that
we hope it will be an inspiration to me
merchants to plan on making 1t look NICE
by day as well. This will take time and
money but it will be we'll worth the eX-
penditure There are many buildings
along the thoroughfare which are good
enough for any city. Others are not all
that they might be and need spruclng up.
This is not said in a spirit Of criticism.
It is a suggestion that property owners
might keep in their minds: And 1t ap-
plies to other streets in addition to Nam
street, but the latter is THE business
street of the town.
