Outlawing COnquests

Secretary Stimsons recent declara-
ton that America would abide by
the policy of refusing to recognize
territorial or economic gains which
any nation may make by force Of
arms represents change in inter-
national relations far greater than
is generally realized.
This policy. affirmed last winter,
adopted by the League Of Nations
and repeated not long ago by the ma
tions of South America in connec-
ton with the row between Bolivia
and Paraguay, can be made an ex-
tremely effective force for world
peace-if the nations of the world
give it more than lip service.
And when you stop to consider 1t
carefully, you will see that it signal
ICES one of the profoundest shifts in
the conduct OF world affairs ever at
tempted.
What it does is to outlaw the right
of conquest-a right as old as civili-
cation.
Never before has the world even
tried to commit itself to the doctrine
that force is not. after all, the final
arbiter in international relations.
To understand how reaching
this policy is, just imagine how diff
ferent place the world would be if
this policy had been in effect a few
generations earlier.
Texas, California, New Mexico and
Arizona would not be part of the
United States. The American flag
would not fly over the Philippines or
Puerto Rico.
North of the international border,
Canada would be existing under the
flag of France. In the Orient there
would be no treaty ports" no for
eign colonies; the Dutch would not
hold the islands of the East Indies,
the English would not hold India, the
map of Africa would look entirely
different.
But there is no point in going on,
because we simply cannot picture the
world as it would be if the right of
conquest had been outlawed a few
centuries ago. In attempting to out
law it now we are trying something
earlier generations never even
dreamed of trying.

Lower Lawn Rates

Suggestions have come to The Trib-
une that water costs in Bismarck are
too high and that some concessions
should be made during the present
economic stress. Many who take
pride in their lawns, gardens and
trees find 1t impossible at present
rates to keep them we'll irrigated.
This all gets back to city costs and
the present scheme of waterworks fl
nancing. 1t is the policy of the pres
ent city administration to retire the
water bonds as quickly as possible
AS a result rates cannot be reduced
now unless some new scheme of fl
nance is devised.
1t would seem, however, that dur
ing the extreme drought of the last
week special reduction could have
been made to save some of the lawns
and trees which are badly in need
of moisture. Some renters and even
home owners have been frank to ad-
NIT they cannot keep their premises
as they would like to at the present
cost of water.
Many lawns are drying up, trees
and other foliage are suffering. This
condition is unusual for Bismarck,
noted the state over for its well-kept
lawns.
A special lawn rate for the next
six weeks would help matters and
prevent some good lawns from being
drought-killed. Some trees are badly
in need Of water. Is there no way
cut?

even if his methods are crude. He
is a man absolutely without fear,
glorying in his great strength. AS
a matter of fact, it is the utter dread

that is old Morales's trump card"
For a moment Ted was silent, his
eyes fixed on the desert sky. "Then
one of the ways to strike at Morales
would be through Jito," he answered
thoughtfully.
Price had been watching Rad
cliffe. He saw the long line of Ted's
chin tighten and the eyes grow
hard. The doctor rose. whoever
strikes at Tito, or Morales either,
must be prepared for everything
from persecution to cold, relentless
murder. Those two could turn all
hell loose on an enemy"
Then once more he looked at the
big, brooding man before him and
reached for his hat. "But I'd wish
him luck" the doctor added. by
the Lord, he'd need it."
Unrest, like formless cloud, had
been spreading throughout the bor-
der country. None knew what plans
and counterplans lay behind it. None
knew when the storm would break,
or where, but throughout the last
winter the name of FL Coyote had
never been far from the minds of
the border ranchers. At Mendoza's

SYNOPSIS

Ted Radcliffe is called to Verdi, a
small village on the Mexican border,
by Bob Hardness, his late fathers
friend. Radcliffe Senior had lost q
fortune in Mexico years before. At
a party given by Major Blount of
the U. S. Army, Ted meets Pace
Morales, ruling power of Mexico,
and his beautiful niece, Adela. Mo-
rales tells how FL Coyote, the mys-
ferrous bandit, killed man about to
reveal his hideaway. FL Coyote
steals from the rich, particularly
Morales, and gives to the poor. Ma
jor Blount announces that the u. S.
cavalry will join in the search for
the bandit. A wounded Mexican,
believed to be one of Ell Coyotes
band, is captured. Ted is stunned to
learn his father died penniless. Bob
attributes the failure of Ted's faith
er's Mexican irrigation project to
Morales, whose reign would have
ended with its success. Late that
night, Bob goes out. Next morning
Major Blount reports that the
wounded Mexican has escaped. Bob
asks Ted to become his foreman.
Ted resents Bob's saying it would
be fitting for Adela to marry Jito,
Morales bully foreman.

sultation. While on a special theater
police job, one member of the firm
grew annoyed at the unreal sounds
that echoed to the audience in a the
atrical murder scene.
Seeking a business project after re-
! tircment, the coppers got together and
assured Broadway that they could
improve the sound effects. Exacting
studios of back stage acoustics were
made in several theaters and are
still carried on in others. From half
to quarter charge of powder is now
used for blank cartridges.

Many theaters, however still pre-
fer artificial effects for machine gun
ming, battle scenes and such. And
then the Gebhart company Is called
in. The Gebharts, consulted also by
the movies and the radio, have de-
vised a whirling drum which is hit
with rhythmic regularity by little
wooden sticks.
Ingenuity is frequently put to the
test, as, for instance, in one play
where an exact duplicate of the jun
gle gun used by Theodore Roosevelt
was demanded. Shots fired into bar
rels often sound like storms or ex-
plosions.
EXCLUSIVE COLONY
In Larchmont, suburb of Manhat-
tan, is one of the most ariStocratic
negro colonies in the world.
Larchmont is something of a
swanky spot, dotted with estates and
mansions. Charmingly grouped, with
gardens and spacious grounds, are
the homes of the colored folk Sew
eral efforts have been made to get
them to move, but nothing can be
done so long as there are "heirs and
aSSigneeS forever"
In this exclusive colony live the
sons and daughters of southern slaves.
1t appears that, after the emancipa-
ton proclamation, one southern
STAKEHOLDER worried about the cven-
tual fate of his slaves. He had been
fond of them and feared that they
might find survival difficult.
So he turned over to them the large
blocks of land now occupied, and his
deed passed ownership on to the
heirs.

AMERICANS ADVANCE

On Aug. "a, 1918, American troops
stormed German positions on the
Scissors Rheims road and advanced
for more than half a mile. They
held their ground despite several fu-
rious counter-attacks.
British forces smashed through the
German lines at Bray, took the town
and carried the top of Thiepval
ridge. They occupied 10 villages dur
ing the operation.
French divisions continued their
hammering at the retreating Ger
mans and made important gains near
Crecy.
It was announced that the Dutch
steamer GaSconier had been sunk

Pity the MiSer!

The oldest news stories that ever
get into the papers, perhaps, are
those which tell about misers.
A new version of this old type Of
story appeared not long ago, when
Chicago courts investigated the az
fairs of an aged rag picker who had
just died.
For quarter of a century this man
had gone about Chicago's west side
gathering rags and old bottles. He
was known to be bit near" and
casual acquaintance guessed that he
had laid away good deal of money;
but no one was prepared for what
actually was discovered.
This rag picker, who worked at the
very bottom of the scale and lived in
a one-room flat, had an estate worth
more than 1,000,000-not on paper,
but in actual cash and government
bonds.
Stories of this kind aren't exactly
rare; and they always set one musing
about the peculiar way In which the
human mind can work occasionally.
For they represent such a complete
nistaking Of the means for the end,
such a thorough perversion Of the or
binary detectives Of life.
Any man of ordinary intelligence
knows perfectly well that money, by
itself, isn't worth anything. It Is Of
value only because Of the things 1t
will buy. The man who has plenty
of money can get a better life for
himself and his family than the man
who lacks it. He can have leisure,
pleasant surroundings, time for hon.
est recreation, a chance to develop
his spirit.
The man who piles up a fortune
because he wants those things-be-
cause he realizes that wealth is only
means to an end-knows what he
Is doing.

man who rolls up an enormous bank

OUTBREAK OF HYDROPHOBIA
PHOEJA

A hamlet in the mountains OF Ten
nessee has lately enjoyed an orgy of
hydrophobia phobia which was pro-
noted, apparently, by some yellow
dodgers distributed by the local health
authorities. From all I can learn
about this outbreak it is typical in all
its features, and take it as my cue
for this outburst on the subject. My
motive is education; whether the ed
ucation of the public or the cduca-
ton of the conductor of this column,
will transpire before long, I hope.
Briefly seriously doubt that rabies
ever occurs in man. I believe it is
prevalent among domestic and wild
animals. Still, if I were wounded in
any way by an animal which any
physician suspected to be rabid, I'd
want the doctor to give me the Pas
teur anti-rabies treatment-I'd want
the benefit of the doubt. There you
have my position clearly defined.
But wish we could settle this
question Of "hydrophobia," as those
who believe in human rabies like to
call it. I invite all our readers who
have any personal experience to re-
port to write me about it. Not leg
ends or second or third-hand tales,
but your own personal experiences.
We can gain nothing by quarreling
with each others notions about such
a subject. But clear reports of actual
experiences may help us to arrive at
the truth about rabies.
Pasteur is one of my great heroes.
I feel like a vandal when I venture
to question the occurrence of rabies
in man. But then, the virus Pasteur
gave the world for the prevention of
rabies was only one, and minor one
of the great scientists works. Be-
sides, others have actually modified
Pasteur's virus or the methods of pre-
pairing and using it, and no less than
four different methods are now in use
in the United States. So it seems that
Pasteur's work is not regarded as in
faliible. Indeed, the very fact that
various recognized authorities follow
different methods in preparing and
administering the virus against ra-
bies, more than dozen of them in
fact, tends to raise doubt in ones
mind about the specific effect of the
administration of the virus.
The experts are not in accord in
accounting for the untoWard effects
sometimes observed when the Pas
teur anti-rabies treatment is given to
an individual who has been wounded
by a rabid animal. Paralysis some
times occurs, and may prove fatal.
Some of the experts hold that this
is mild or modified rabies produced
by incubation; others are of the
opinion that it is due to lipoids (fat-
like materially in the material in
jected
AS I have often said, the whole
question of rabies in man is one of
opinion, and at the present moment
we have no positive scientific knowl-
edge to settle the question finally.
Some veterinary surgeons have kind
ly given me their views or expert
ences. But as the matter stands
believe laymen may contribute valu-
able ideas and accordingly I invite
everybody who has had any personal
experience to tell us about it. Every
thing readers write to me is conf
Dental, OF course. Come on, now, If
you know anything write and tell it
to your volunteer Committee of One
/ on the Hydrophobia Question.
