MORE CONCESSIONS?

1t is possible that concessions may
be worked out which will satisfy
Hitler without too seriously affrcnt-
ing Poland. He may conclude there
is a way, other than by war with
England, to additional claims in
which there is show of historical
or economic equity such as colonies.
But if England's encirclement was
too hasty and has convinced Hitler
that the only way out for Germany
is to smash England, then he may
not try the peaceful way with Pc
land.
That is why Poland is watched SO
closely just now, and why states
men are glad of the royal diversion
of public attention. They always feel
better when there is less public agi-
tation.
And regardless of what may be
thought of the foreign policy of
this administration or of earlier adj
ministrations, the underlying mo
tive of all of them has been the
belief that once war starts in Eu-
rope it will be next to impossible TO
stay out of it.

MAYBE ALASKA CAN HELP

Seldom has there been much publicity attached
to confidential treaty negotiation Washington notes
In the plans for barterng American cotton and wheat
for needed tin and rubber Officials make secret
Of the fact that Ambassador Kennedy at London has
as one of his major assignments the formulation of
deal which would trade such goods with British and
Dutch governments.
This deal, it is proposed, will take the form of a
treaty which would require Senate ratification 1t

SURPRISES of of its agricultural commodities for
the wanted tin and rubber. The deal would be made
with the understanding that each country taking any
Of the goods would put them aside in military
which would not be used except in the event of
actual or Immediately imminent hostilities at least
for period of five years.
The State Department goes to great length to
explain that these goods would not be forced into
the world markets, that they would not in any way
restrict the normal opportunity for commercial sales
Of like goods to in the countries to which the cotton
or wheat might go. The effect would be quite the
contrary It, would tend to take out of the visible
stocks of the world of the goods which hang
heavily over the markets. at all times threatening to
crush prices to even lower levels than those now

This movement for barter is quite independent
and would not any way interfere with the plans for
purchase by the United States of necessary military

course, Il is to be expected that if Uncle Sam could
pile up his ted reserve of that metal by barter he
would not have to buy much.

According to astrology this is a
day of conflicting planetary mflu-

quick changes of thought and great
fluctuations of sentiment
The morning is more fortunate
| for business men than for capital

losses in bad accounts may be mum

Better business feeling should be
prevalent. Those interested in the
present should be optimistic, but the
economic future is not reassuring.
Bad faith in international agree
ments is forecast. American, diplo-
mats will be put to severe testsshnd
will prove their ability. Secrecy re-
garding important European issues
is presaged.
The evening of this day is lucky
for women who will find home hos

courage romance and the Moon
casts a special glamor over lovers.
Music and musicians continue

Saturn and Mercury eliminating
are believed to point to a severe eco
nomic depression in Central Europe.
Spain is to sustain difficulties in

Persons whose birthdate it is have

No Tongue is Foreign
New York Tines

New York T1meS)
The ebb and flow of international emotions has
tits corresponding tides foreign language study in
our city schools. The German language, according
to Dr. Theodore Huebner. the most widely studied
of alien tongues here before the World War fell pre-
cpitatey in popularity until toward the close OF the
war only forty students engaged on it, reached
a new peak of $4,000 in 1884 and had dropped last
year to about 1000 Italian on the other hand, at
tracted II percent students in 1898 than in 1887
Latin lost only little but only forty students
cared to wreste with the glorious old speech in which
Homer sang. French though losing slightly attracted
100000 of the total of about 100000 pupils taking
foreign languages.
DR. Huebner rightly deplores the decline in the
study of the German language" and hopes that for
eign languages in general will receive more attention
from schools. He believes that each of our 54
local school districts should have at least grade
class in a foreign language. Only eleven have such
classes
knowledge of one more foreign tongues will
always have its practical uses, but than that,
it gives TO intangible riches which translator
can unlock. In the case of Germany, or any other
European country the cultural is wide and deep
and the storms of tyranny revolution do not dis
turb its mighty depths. In those deeper regions no
tongue is foreign.

Nemesis, The Negro, Enters The
Shades OF Death.
"The History Of the Cresaps," by
Bernard Cresap, tells the story Of Ne
gro Mountain as follows:
Colonel Thomas Cresap again set
out (from Oldtown) with his volun-
teer rifemen, his two remaining sons,
Daniel and Michaed, among them. Col
onel Cresap owned a Negro of giant
stature called Nemesis. In mastering
his company, the Colonel said: Meme
sis, you are a good shot; won't you go
with us this time and help us conquer
the Indians who are numbering and
iscalping women and children and burn
ing their cabins?'
"Nemesis considered for q few min
utes, and then said: Yes, Massa Tom;
l go but l won't come back
"'Why, Nemesis, why say you that?
You are a sure shot and fearless
"'Massa Tommie, Nemesis sure shot
and afraid of nothing, and he not come
back. l say l go and l not come back.
"His premonition was correct. In the
mountains west of Cumberland they
encountered a band of savages and the
brave slave was among the first to fall,
and now and forever the mountain
where he died is called Negro Noun
tain"
According to Cresap, this fight with
the Indians took place in 1856, during
the French and Indian War. Ncmacol-
ms Path, widened by Braddock's
Army the previous year, passed thru
the Little Shades of Death and over
Negro Mountain. Nemesis was killed
near the foot of the mountain. He
entered the Shades of Death and did
not come back.
