insults Flight.

The flight of Samuel insult from
Paris to Athens in search OF sanctuary
from arrest under the indictment which
has Just been found in Chicago against
him brings directly to public attention
the fact that several countries remain
with which the United States has no
effective extradition treaties. Greece is
one Of these, though such treaty has
recently been negotiated and ratifica-
tions have been given to 1t, but the
ratifcations have not yet been formally
Exchanged" which is the final act re-
uuired. Others are China, Egypt, Hun
gary, Persia, Russia, Turkey and Yugo-
slavia.
It now appears that insult was ad-
vised from this country, presumably by
counsel, to 60 from Paris to Greece be-
cause Of the lack of an effective extra
dition treaty with the United States
He lost no time in doing SO, making his
way by train to Milan and thence by
plane to Rome and by another plane to
Tirana, Albania, flying next to SalonlK
and proceeding by train to Athens
Warning was given to him in one OF
the code messages that despite the lack
Of anal treaty between the two gov
ernments Greece might as matter Of
policy surrender him on request. Insul
indicated in the course of brief inter-
view that he had in mind the posi-
bility of proceeding farther, which sug-
gests that if not checked he might
have headed for Turkish territory, OF
even Russia.
The lack of a treaty Of extradition
does not necessarily prevent the depor-
hAtiqn Apd surrender Of runaway. A

land Oregon Journal In spite Of the
power of the military clique in the
Island Empire, there are economic
forces at work in Japan as elsewhere
which Will in time overthrow this
power" thinks the Louisville Courier
Journal. Though Japan now seem4
impatient of all restraint" as some OF
the papers in this country view her
attitude; though "it is difficult to see
how compromise can come and the
path be smoothed for a retracing OF
steps by Japan, when such retracing
means loss of face and confession OF
error" as the Hartford Daily Times
puts 1t, and though at preasent Japan
shows not the slightest inclination to
back out of Manchuria," according to
the estimate Of the Danbury Evening
News, the Boise Idaho Statesman pre-
diets that there will be more thunder
and lightning, but there will be no war
for generation or so. At least there
will be no war with great powers par
ticipating" The San Antonio Express
suggests that lit remains to be seen
whether Japan will defy the world in
order to hold Manchuria as a de-
pendency"
What will the League of Nations
do?" is the question on many tongues.
If the League approves the report.
will Japan yield to the pressure Of
world opinion. or withdraw from
Geneva to pursue its own ends?" asks
the Birmingham ge-Herald, labelling
Japan'S present reaction as "ominous.
The Cincinnati Times-Star believes
that IF the Council rejects the report
Of its own neutral commission, 1t Is
hard to see how the League can sur
viVe, for the smaller nations would have
no reason for supporting it, while the
larger would hardly wish to play out
travesty alone" The Fort Worth
Star-Telegram asserts that, as far as
the League Is concerned, "the report
should serve one or the other Of two
purposes-either it should establish
permanently the strength of the knitted
association of states, the League of Ma
tions, or 1t should prove conclusively
that the body has not been function
ing within the idealist boundaries set
by its founder, Woodrow Wilson" If
the latter. the question always will
remain, what would have been the re-
suit If the United States had been as
forward visioned as its President" con-
cludes this Journal.
THE report puts a new responsibility
on the League of Nations and may
prove crucial test of the Leagues
worth In preventing war and settling
international disputes" in the opinion
OF the Scranton Times, while the New
York Sun declares: "All theorizing
and philosophizing. all aspirations Of
amiable internationalism which center
in the League are thus brought into
focus against background Of reality"

Englishman Regarded
As UbiouitOuS Animal.

As Ubiquitous Animal.
LIE Matin, Paris.-The Englishman is
a ubiuuitouS animal. For he is not
only the man from England, but from
Australia, New Zealand, India and
South Africa. He flourishes particu-
larly in Canada, where his counterpartS
from all over the world assembled for
the imperial conference at Ottawa.
We mount the terrace which towers
above the river and gaze. 1t seems, over
the whole dominion. We breathe the
invigorating air of Canada. Canada!
That is a strange word. They attribute
it, and probably with reason, to old
Spanish mariners and adventurerS. who
in their Unsuitable quest for gold, turned
north after ravaging the treasures OF
Brazil, Peru and Mexico. They are
said even to have penetrated to the
shores of Greenland, but the cold and
desolation turned them back. "Aca-
nada!" they eXclaimed-or, in our ver-
nacular, "Ou il ny rien!" CHere there
Is nothing). And so "Acanada," or
Canada" became the name Of the
land which now geographers tell us is
the second largest country on the globe.
It follows Russia in extent OF area. but
precedes China and its known terri
tories comprise q region greater than
all the domains of Europe. Its stretches
reach from the parallel Of Genoa north
to the Pole but in this vast expanse
there live scarcely 10000, 600 Of inhabit-
ants.
This great country impresses with its
immensely, with its limitless horizons.
with the infinite vistas Of its lakes and
forests, and with its grand and beau
tiful cities rearing their towers and
steeples here and there. Save for them.
there reigns from coast to coast q soli-
tude, so far as human evidence appear,
that is both pathetic and profound. In
this country and at Ottawa. where q
tingling air, as Of early Fall, reminds
of st. Moritz observation-disclosures
are coming from all over the world to
confer upon all matters which concern
trade. in foreign relations and in eco
nomics. And thus again this old col
ony of France has become the cynosure
of universal interest and of vision.

For the capitalist, Palestine
at present offers happy hunt
i ing ground. The investor can
find ways and means Of sinking
his money in this country and receiving
a return twice and three times above
what he will receive from his CONVEX
sion loan.
On first mortgages you can get Ger
tain return Of per cent, whether in
Jerusalem. Haifa or Tel Aviv There Is
no more risk attached to such mort
gage, If made with reasonable care,
than there is to any gilt-edged security
It is needless to say that money in
vested in an orange grove, or better
still, in grapefruit, will give you a re-
turn Of from IL to Is per cent on your
money.
There are numerous other openings
for a man with a little courage and
some money in this country, and the
man who invests now will have dis
tinct advantage over the man who waits
another 10 years.

A delay in the enforcement

upon the commission to rescind
it, Major Gen. Mason M. Patrick,

the commission will obey any
order of Congress to rescind it.
Appeals from the order are
pending in the District Supreme
Court. 1t appears uncertain
that a decision will be handed
down before next week. So en-
forcement of the order is ex-
pected to be deloyed by the COM
mission. Arguments on the ap-
peals will be heard before Justice

TELLS DEALERS
TO CLEAN
HOUSE
Will Give Offenders Chance
Before Instituting Series
of Arrests

More arrests may be made
in District Attorney Leo A,
Rover's drive to ban obscene
literature in the Capital, he
said today.
The District Attorney now
has turned his eye on certain
novels which, he says, contain
Objectionable matter.
He declined to name the books,
however. He said:
II do not intend to order any
arrests at this time. but 1 will
do so unless the Objectionable
books are withdrawn at once. I
hope the various dealers will
avail themselves of this OppOr.
tunity to clean their own
houses SO 1 may be spared the
necessity of proceeding against
them.
81 think the dealers and per
sons offering the books to the
public are qualified to Judge
as to their character as well as
1 am, and I propose to leave
this phase of the matter to
them"
However, if the dealers judg-
ment of what is obscene" differs
from that of the District Attor-
ney, it was indicated that the
dealers would be arrested.
The police have been instructed
to visit book dealers and circula.
ting libraries to warn the proprie-
tors to rid their shelves of "ob-
jectionable" books.

IMPEACHMENT
Of MELLON
Patman Charges to Be Probed
by Judiciary Committee,
Says Summers

An investigation of the i'm
peachment charges made
against Secretary of the Treas
ury Andrew W. Mellon by Rep
resentative Wright Patman
(D.) of Texas will be made by
the Judiciary Committee,
Chairman Summers (D.) of
Texas announced today.
Summers said:
II think the committee will
regard it as obligatory upon
1t to give the matter cOnsidera-
tiOn.'
Republicans scoffed at the
charges, while some Democrats in
timated their belief that the Incl
dent may embarrass them in their
attack upon the policies Of the
Administration.
Law Violation Charged
The Texan, however, main.
tanned that Mellon has violated
the law prohibiting the Secretary
of the Treasury from directly or
indirectly carrying on trade or
commerce, and he welcomed a
chance to prove it.
The charges were placed be-
fore the House Judiciary Com.
mittee at its regular meeting to-
day by Representative Summers.
Senate Bar Seen
While a majority vote is re-
quired in the House to impeach.
a two-thirds vote is required in
the Senate for conviction. There
appeared little chance for success
of Patman's venture.
Since the Constitution was
adopted, only one Cabinet officer
has been hailed before the Senate
on Impeachment charges voted by
the House. He was Secretary of
War William w. Belknap, charged
by the House during the first
session of the Forty-Fourth Con-
gress with malfeasance in office.
Belknap was acquitted.
The Senate has tried only ten
impeachment cases in its history.

SICKNESS GAINS
IN CAPITAL

There seems to be an epidemic
of general illnesses, and the prob
able cause is economic conditions.
Thus commented today Miss
Gertrude Boiling, head Of the
Visiting Nurses Instructive So
ciety, on the increased number of
calls for the service of her de-
partment.
That the general illness is re-
suit of economic distress is a
natural deduction from the lower
ing of body resistance, incident to
economic inability to provide
proper food and clothing, Miss
Boiling remarked.
In the 1881 report of the bu-
reau, there was an increase of
more than "a per cent of new
cases over the preceding year.
