founded is that the common people
throughout the world desire peace.
and that they are in this respect in
adequately represented by govern
ments and bureaucracies.
If the people are successfully to in
sist on their wishes being carried out
in international policy, they must in
the first place. be properly informed
as to what is actually taking place in
world affairs and. in the second place,
they must have the proper machinery
to formulate their reactions to such
information and to press what they
want upon their governments.
We in this country have done a
good deal in this direction. There
are a number of societies here. Of
which the League Of Nations Union
is the largest. which advocate peace
through the League of Nations as
one of the objects-often the main
object-for which they exist. We have
seen in the 1885 peace ballot what a
very large measure of popular sup
port they command.
All Sections Represented.
1t was noticeable that the peace
voters came from all parts of the
country. Towns like Sheffield. which
are largely dependent upon armament
manufacture, were just as decided in
their answers to the ballot questions
as the cotton districts of Lancashire,
the coal miners of Durham. or the
agriculturaliSts of the South. The
only class which was apathetic or
hostile was that which dwells i'll the
well-to-do suburbs.
But the League of Nations cannot
live on British support alone. That
we should take the lead at Geneva is
right and proper. for there is no
state in the world which has more
to gain from peace or to lose by war
than the British Empire. That is
just as true of the dominions as of
the mother country. But as we have
seen in recent months. the League

 "This is the hardest task I've done. Perhaps you all will call it fun, but if you tried 1t out. your selves. you'd change your minds, no doubt"
 While he was talking, Windy passed. Poor Coppy simply was out- classed. Two minutes more and Windy won the race, by several feet.
 The loser was Q good sport. He exclaimed, "You are too good for mel The way you stepped right out in front was really pretty neat"
 "I1l tell you how I came in first, wee Windy said. "You see, the worst thing you could do was talk. It took your breath and strength away.

while trying to rescue family from
the village of Huff, which was
evacuated.
The hamlet of Bairdstown, below
Blairsville, was evacuated by two
dozen families and three flremen
found themselves marooned on house
while bringing out the last residents.
Old inhabitants who remembered
the disastrous flood May 81, 1889,
when the South Fork Dam burst with
such horrifying effects, looked over
the situation in this city and said:
"The second Johnstown flood"
The dam which held pack the
waters Of Lake Conemaugh in that
year burst almost without warning
and there was little or no chance to
warn the thousands of dwellers in
Johnstown and a half dozen other
communities.
Of the 2,235 lost In the flood, 300
never were identified. The damage
was placed at s10,0o0.00o. Donors
throughout the Nation created a So
100000 relief fund to help the strick.
en- survivors.
The waters creating this years
food came after thaw Of the
heaviest snow in years and two days
of steady rainfall. The Conemaugh
first went out of its banks at Portags
and reached Johnstown o few hours
later.

Borah Stopped as
Peoples Choice.
BY PAUL MALLON.


~LEvELAND, Ohio. March 1s.-
4 Senator Borah's game is to
build himself up in the pub
~ lie mind as the peoples
choice. His opportunity Of doing 1t
is limited practically to two States,
Illinois and Ohio. He will file in
others, but these are the two big
ones, for him. Unless he can make
a popular showing in these two CEN
tral primaries, he is through as q
major force. Insiders of both camps
believe that.
A personal survey among men
who know their politics in those
States indicates that his chances
right now are rather discouraging.
Top Republican authorities in Chi
cago are privately guessing his MAXI
mum delegate possibilities at less than
half the Illinois delegation. Their es-
Inmates run down to a minimum ex-
pectation Of scattering support.
Situation In Ohio.
The Ohio situation has not been
canvassed because the primary Is
a month later, May IL. But here
also. few will even give him half. and
most authorities rate him down to
a minimum Of a half dozen or so.
While these are merely inconclu-
sive guesses, they afford a valuable
hint that all is not well with the
Borah candidacy.

D. c. RACING BILL
APPEARS DOOMED
PaImisano Says Measure
May Not Even Reach Full!
Committee.
It's struggling for life"

That's how Chairman Palmisano Of
the Judiciary Subcommittee of the
House District Committee today de-
scribed the status of the Norton bill
to legalize horse racing in the Capital
under the pari-nutuel system.
Palmisano's subcommittee has COM
pleted hearings on the measure, but
from present indications it may not
even reach the full committee for con-
sheraton. Its death In the subcom-
mittee is freely predicted.
One of the six Representatives in
the House from Maryland, which, in
cidentally, has eight race tracks,
Palmisano, for obvious reasons, has
not been entirely in sympathy with
the bill. Whatever chance it had to
meet his approval virtually was killed
by two recent developments.
Cummings Testimony Hurt.
First was the testimony before the
subcommittee Of Andrew j. (Cy) Cum
mings. an executive of the Laurel
race track, that legalized racing would
break" the District in six months.
The second was the reported criti-
cism Of certain members Of the SUBJ
committee in organized labor circles.
Palmisano. as well as Representative
Dirksen. Republican, Of Illinois, both
members Of the subcommittee, are
saying things about statements Frank
j. Coleman, secretary of the Central
Labor Union, Is reported to have made
at q recent meeting Of that organiza-
ton.
Coleman has been quoted as saying
Dirksen's attitude toward organized
labor was anything but favorable dur
ing hearings on the measure.
Labor Chief Supporter.
The bills chief support came from
organized labor. Coleman, as well
as other labor leaders. contended con-
struction of a $2,500,000 race track
would provide work for unemployed
building tradesmen.
Dirksen, however, insists he was not
unfair or unfavorable to organized
labor. He promises to answer Cole
man "at the proper time"
Palmisano also believes Coleman,s
reported criticism of Dirksen was un-
justified.
Members Of the subcommittee, he
declared. should not be treated that
way"
No Meeting Today.
The District Committee failed to
meet today, although Palmisano was
prepared to report the bill for estab-
lishment of four magistrate courts to
handle traffic charges in the four
sections of the city. The proposal to
authorize a merger of the Washing
ton and Georgetown Gas Light Cos.
also was pending.
The SisSon bill to repeal the So
called "red rider" to the 1896 District
appropriation act, is not to be consid-
cred by the full committee until next
week. The measure Is still before the
Education Subcommittee, which has
decided not to make a report until the
testimony taken during the recent
hearings has been printed and dis
tributed.

FLOOD CRISIS DUE
AT BINGHAMT0N
Water Supply Threatened as
Swollen Rivers Pour Into
Community.
BY the Associated Press.


BINGHAMTON, N. Y, March l8.--
Binghamton prepared today to face
flood conditions more severe than those
of last July, when 1000 families were
made homeless and hundreds OF thou
sands of dollars of property damage
resulted from high waters.
The Chenango and Susquehanna
Rivers, swollen by three days of heavy
rains and melted snow. pounded over
their banks, submerging highways,
rushing into houses and imperiling
the city's water supply.
The Susquehanna, already higher
than the 1885 flood crest, swept over
its bank near Court street and swept
toward the water works, where a sand
bag barricade served to keep back
flood waters for the, present.
Regarding the situation as every Sc
riouS," city engineers said that If water
reached the pumps, putting them out
of commission, there was but a days
supply stored in Mount Prospect Res
ervoir.
Families in the city's First Ward Sec
tion, worst sufferers of the 1885 food,
began moving their possessions from
their homes before daybreak as the
Chenango poured into the low-lying
residential area in the northwestern
section of the city.
Four of the city's seven bridges were
closed as water flooded the approaches
and splashed over the hoorings. The
remaining spans were expected to be
closed later today, city officials said
Similar flood conditions prevailed
in nearby towns and villages. Streets
were under water in Whitney Point,
Towanda, Pa; Norwich, Oneonta,
Lisle. Walton, Waverly, N. Y, and
Owego.

Federal Court Refuses Injunction
Against Board in Case of
Writer'S Dismissal.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, March 18.-Federal
Judge William Bondy yesterday denied
the Associated Press an Injunction
against the National Labor Relations
Board in connection with a complaint
that the press association violated
the labor relations act in the dis
charge of Morris Watson, a reporter.
last October.
The Associated Press had sought to
restrain the board from proceeding
with the compla'-t on the ground
that 1t was being subjected to injury
and that the act was unconstitutional.
AT the same time it denied charges
In the complaint that Watson was
dismissed because Of his activities
In the American Newspaper Guild.
Judge Bondy held that the COM
plainant has not shown that it will
suffer any injury by reason of the
mere existence of the act or the
mere tendency of proceedings against
IT, - that on the present appli-
cation no necessity for injunctive
relief has been established, and that
1t is therefore unnecessary to pass
upon the constitutionality of the
