a lieutenant, with the American forces
which went to Tientsin at the time of
the Boxer uprising. Lieut.. Mccoy felt
that this was splendid opportunity to
learn something of the country he was
in and of the issues involved in the
immediate crisis in which he was TAX
ing part.
The temperament of the man showed
itself then and ever since he has con-
tinued to be a careful student of the
problems which develop where the eco
nomic and national interests of two
nations conflict. He was in command
of American soldiers on the Mexican
border before the United States entered
the World War. and during this service
American soldiers moved into Mexican
territory, even In pursuing Mexican
bandits who had operated on American
soil, only with the consent-usually al
the reQueSt-of the Mexican authori-
ties. In 1919 he went to help straight
en- out the confusion in Armenia He
was with Gen. Wood in the Philippines
from 1921 to 1925, and took the oppor-
tunity to make several visits to China
In 1928 he became re-acquainted with
the Japanese as head of the American
Relief Commission at the time of the
Toxic earthquake He supervised the
elections in Nicaragua in 1923 in such
a way that the rebels, as we'll as both
parties, had nothing but praise for his
fairness. Last year he headed the PAN
Cancellation, which, after protracted
discussions. finally worked out solu-
tion Of the long drawn Chaco dispute
between Bolivia and Paraguay.
The American Government thus
named for the League commission one
of the two or three Americans best
qualified by temperament and expert
ence to make the work of the COM
mission real success by insuring that
its study Of the facts would be thor
ouRh, impartial and completely fair
No one knows how long the COM
mission will carry on its work One
thing only is sure: No one has any
idea that the visit is to be simply
matter of month or two of cur
sorry survey; six months in the field
is the minimum time which has been
mentioned Many have spoken of the
work continuing for two years or more.
The men with whom Gen. Mccoy
will work on the commission all have
had considerable experience in deal
ing with peoples other than their own.
Lord Lytton. the chairman. has held
high posts in the British government in
India. Gen. Henri Edouard Claudel has
been Governor of French Indo-China
and French Madagascar. DR.. Heinrich
Schnee. after holding various German
colonial posts, was mace Governor of
German East Africa in 1912 and held
the territory for Germany until after
the armistice in 1918. Count Luigi
Aldrovandi- -Marescotti has been in the
Italian diplomatic service for many
years.
The four Europeans thus all are men
of distinction. 1t is unfortunate that

London Studies Means
To Increase SObriety

LONDON-In the interests Of greater
national sobriety it has been recon-
mended by the Royal Licensing Com
mission that British consumers ought
to take their liquor in a sitting posture.
THE habit of taking drinks standing
up has become an ingrained national
CUSTOM" is the commissions finding.
But even though the excessive con-
sumption Of intoxicants is attributed to
the perpendicular" habit, there is no
widespread support for the conversion
OF the ordinary pub" into a con-
tinental cafe.
Some voluble "perpendiculars" insist
that in days gone by, when consumers
had plenty Of time, there was justifica-
ton for the sitting posture. A man
then could afford to while away half
an hour or even an hour over a pot Of
beer. In the hurly-burly Of today, it
is argued, he needs quick service,
especially as there are set hours for
drinking. For instance, the consumer
who invades pub" just before closing
time has little chance Of obtaining a
beer or whisky unless he pushes his
way to the crowded bar and shouts
loudly for his favorite beverage.
There are others who also insist that
1t is easier to drink more and absorb
it more readily If the perpendicular
pose Is maintained. Some 60 so far as
to contend that the act Of sitting down
to drink conveys the impression to the
around him that he means to make a
long session Of it. LAS long as you stand
up you have the idea that you are not
going to linger long, even II you
eventually do" Is the naive suggestion
put forward in certain quarters.
There are sedentary workers who say
1t Is real relaxation to stand up at a
bar in the evening. There are other
individuals who contend that one Of the
enjoyments in visiting pub" is to
lean over the bar and swap q few
pleasantries with the barmaids.
Lack OF uniformity in the hours Of
consumption throughout the country,
particularly in London. makes for the
popularity OF stand-up consumption.
Regular customers of many establish
ments would be unable to obtain
final nightcap or last half pint If they
sat at tables during what is known as
the pub rush.
In oxford street, for instance, the
saloons close an hour earlier on one
side of the street than on the other
because one side is in one borough and
the other In another. There is a pre-
cipitate rush from the early side to the
late as soon as the publican or bar
maids shout. Time, gentlemen, please!"
The regulars in the pubs" remaining
open an hour longer always secure a
position at the bar before the rushers
crowd in.
There is, nevertheless. a striking
tendency to provide more tables and
chairs In the revamped and the newest
pubs" because the breweries that own
them are trying to still temperance
criticism by making their establishment
eating as we'll as drinking places. 1t
is also suspected that the liquor trade
realizes that 1t will be more difficult for
the reformers to wage war on pubs" II
liquor Is intrenched behind food.

After II years of work costing nearly

came down into the Rio de Orc. They
defeated the yelled Berbers All the
veiled Berbers, except the Touaregs, be-
came subject to the Arabs, and at last
they became so ashamed Of the veil
which they came to regard as q symbol
of inferiority and servitude, the emblem
Of defeated race, that they left it of
altogether. They became fanatical
Musulmen. They even learned to speak
Arabic, and quite forgot Berber. In
this way the Berber world Of the South
was cut in two, or rather three. The
Berbers In the Atlas remained inde-
pendent, and Berber. Those in the Oc-
cidental Sahara became Arabized. And

The Arab domination lasted long
enough to blot out the Berber tongue,

them with violent, mystical, Islamism.

Berber movement of revolt against the

Berbers and those Of the Sahara. Be-

Touraregs) they came to dominate all

W. exciting finish today to pull
the opening game Of the Spring
world series" out of the fire and beat
the Philadelphia Athletics, to S, In 10
innings.
A home-run drive over the right-field
fence in the first half of the extra frame
by Jim Collins, first-base understudy,
settled the issue in favor of st. Louis
the ninth. The big blow in the ninth
was delivered by Lee Cunningham,
rookie third sacker, whose double
brought in two runs, with two out, and
sent the game into overtime.
Pepper Makes Big Hit.
A crowd of 1000 fans. including
President William Harridge of the
American League, turned out for the
opening exhibition game Of the Florida

Pepper Martin. hero Of the last world
series triumph of the Cardinals. was the
big attraction. He got one big hit, a
triple in the seventh, and tied the score
for the first time, but on three other
occasions he famed. Pepper had a
chance to be the hero when he came up
in the eighth with the bases full but he
fell strikeout victim Of Jimmy De-
shong.
The rival pennant clubs put up q
hard-fought battle, despite the absence
on each side of half dozen stars, in
Guiding Grove, Earnshaw, Corchrane,
Simmons, Colbert. Frisch, Hafey and
Wilson.
Mack Rookie Clouts.
The Athletics, led by their recruit
outfielder, Ed Coleman, up from Port
land. Oreg.. outhit the world champions,
IA to Z, but twice were held runless
after filling the bases. Coleman collect
ed four straight hits after striking out
In the first inning. Jimmy Dykes and
Mule Haas gathered three hits apiece.
Collins welded the big stick for the
Cardinals after George Watkins Tailed
the first run on homer, off Lew
KrauSse, in the sixth. Collins brought
Martin home with the tying run in the
seventh after the AS had gained a
2-to-0 lead in the first three innings off
Ray Starr, the Rochester recruit.
Again in the ninth Collins led a rally
that tied the count. His single followed
by low throw by Dib Williams on
Ford's grounder. Gonzales long fly, a
pass to Parham and Cunningham s
pinch double to right accounted for
