Morgan, who personally directed the
extraditions of Gen. Alberto Herrero
and Gen. Gerardo Machado when they
sought refuge in the United States
after the collapse of their regimes in
Cuba, is one of two Washington resi-

award. Charles A Douglas, also an at
torney for the embassy, was similarly
recognized last Summer.
The Order Of Merit, named for Ces-
pedes, hero of the Cuban revolution
Of 1868, has been established for "rec-
ognition and award of outstanding
merit in the diplomatic field and for
eminent services rendered to Cuba and
to humanity" President Carlos Mem

Barnet, secretary of state, is chan
cellor.

SCOTTSBORO, Ala, November 13.-
A Jackson County grand jury was
summoned today to reinvestigate the
five-year-old "Scottsboro case" in
which nine colored men are charged
with attacking two white women
aboard a freight train.
Judge A. E. Hawkins, who, in April,
1881, sentenced eight of the nine to
death, issued the call after a new
jury roll had been completed. On the
venire of SO from which the grand jury
of 18 will be chosen were two colored
persons.
Lieut.. Gov. Thomas E. Knight, jr.,
special prosecutor, said the inclusion
Of colored men would meet any con-
stitutional question raised in previous
trials.
Discrimination Charged.
The new inquiry was neceSsitated by
the United States Supreme. Court de-
cision in March, which upheld a de-
fense contention that colored persons
had been systematically excluded
from the grand and trial juries in
Jackson and Morgan Counties.
The decision was on the appeal of
Clarence Norris and Haywood Patter-
son, both of whom were sentenced to
death. 1
The prisoners are charged with at
tacking Mrs. Victoria Price and Ruby
Bates March 25, 1881. They were ar
rested at Paint Rock.

eight were convicted. Trial Of the ninth
resulted In hung jury.
The Alabama Supreme Court set
aside one death sentence, holding that
the prisoner. Eugene Williams, was a
juvenile, and, on appeal to the United
States Supreme Court, the other seven
convictions were set aside.
Change Of Venue Granted.
After this reversal a change of venue
to Morgan County was granted. Patter-
son was first tried In Morgan County
in April. 1888. and convicted with the
extreme penalty. Judge James E.
Horton, who presided. set the verdict
aside, holding the evidence insufficient
to warrant the penalty.

We Can Avoid War by
Complete Isolation

Whatever else it may be doing. the current
European war scare is at least providing a field for
American internationalists.
The burden of their cry right now Is that II and
when Europe goes to war 1t will be utterly impos-
sible for the United States TO stay out Of il.
Looking back at what happened in 1914 and i'm
mediately thereafter, 1t is not hard 10 understand
why people should feel that way. And yet it is equal
~ hard TO see why the program we followed during
the last war has to be duplicated in the next one.
We weren't able to keep out Of the last war
granted. But is there any overwhelming reason why.
profiting by the lessons We learned then. We cannot
keep out of the next one7
If We hope TO do so. there are two courses open to
us.
The first one is to follow the lead Of the interna-
tionalists. work viii the League OF Nations right I'D
to the hilt, negotiate and confer with European
statesmen whenever the European pot starts boiling.
and take in every way possible an active. energetic
course TO keep war from starting.
Considering what the American electorate has done
to the League of Nations proponents at various times.
1t is hard to picture any American government fol-
lowing that course.
The other possibility is to buttress our isolation in
every imaginable way. And the most important way
would seem to be to get a new concept of neutrality.
We started out to be neutral in the last war. But
what happened? We loaned money and sold sup
pneS 10 all comerSs the only persons VINO could get al
us to borrow and buy were the allies: as an newt
able result, we soon became in fact. although not
avowedly. a silent partner in the allied cause. We
were their banker and their production manager.
Once that had happened. 1t was only a question
Of time before We should get into the war in bloody
earnest.
Neutrality of that kind is no neutrality at all. II
we follow the same course in the next war. We may
expect the same result.

can refuse TO sell or TO lend to any warning nations.
That would be a hard policy TO follow. of course.
But 1t would enable us to steer clear Of trouble.
We might as well make up our mind to it. II we
prefer isolation to taking a hand in the interna-
tionalists' game, the isolation must be complete.
Complete isolation is expensive. but that may be the
price we have to pay for remaining at peace.

Help For History

The new national Archives Building in Washing
ton is going to be the last word in preserving the
records OF the republic.
1t will even include eight ~fireproof' vaults for
storing motion picture films. sound recordings OF news
events, and speeches by high officials.
Things are being made easier for the future his
torians all the time. What would we not give today
for a sound film of Patrick Henrys great Treason"
speech before the Virginia House Of Burgesses? Or
Of Washington's first inaugural address? Or of
gaunt Lincoln speaking those few immortal lines on
the field Of Gettysburg?
Future historians will have such records, and they
should help greatly to hold more accurate the story
Of history. which cynical Napoleon once called. with
all too much truth, "a fable agreed upon"
