Any day you may read that,

tw? to us that everybody is
"unknown" once he is dead.
?re "known" by our names,
Property, street address, fam

you go into the coffin. What
will you meet on the other
tide? Who will know your
name there?what you are or
what you have been? Will you
?*eu know your own name? If
you regain consciousness will
you say to yourself: "I won
der what, who and where I was
kefore?"
That's what we say in this
Consciousness. You remember
Thomas Bailey Aldrich's lines:
"Somewhere?in desolate wind
swept space,
"In twilight-land?in No
Man's land?
"Two ? hurrying Shapes met
face to face,

Europe a laughing boy.

Harvey says Europe faces the
worst outlook in history. Un

the coming meeting of premiers,
Harvey does not see "how
Europe can live another year."
CONDITIONS there are bad.
But they had to be bad.
Nothing but frightfully bad con
ditions would do Europe any
food. A man gatting drunk,

fore he will give up the drunk
enness and lobster.
Europe has got to have a
headache and a stomach ache be
fore it will give up war.
gUT CONDITIONS ARE NOT
the worst they have ever
been. They are not as bad as
when the Black Plague killed
more than half of all the people
in Europe.
Not as bad in France as when
it was necessary to pass a law
to keep peasants from eating
human bodies dead of the
plague.
JjjUROPEAN conditions are not
so bad as they were in Eng
land when the idle, starving
workman that wandered from
his parish, without permission,
to find work elsewhere, was
branded with a red-hot iron; not
so bad as when in England the
city government, lord of the ma
nor, bishop and king each had a
separate gallows, and merchants
bringing presents of- fish and
game waited on their knees at
_ the doors of Parliament to beg
relief from too many hangings.
/"CONDITIONS are not as bad
for Europe as when Attila
came marauding with his hordes,
bragging that the grass never
grew again where his horse had
put its foot.
Conditions have been worse in
Europe than it present for cen

fTHE TROUBLE IS THAT
science, with its power of
killing, quick transportation,
wireless and all the rest, has
grown too rapidly, while human
conscience and common sense
have grown too slowly.
If you gave a sharp razor to
every monkey in the zoological
garden you would have a
bloody monkey cage. That's
what the trouble is in Europe.

I^OS ANGELE8, Dec. 5.?
Clara Phillips, the 44 tiger wom
an" of the recent 44 hammer
murder'' trial, today made
good her boast that no prison
bars could hold her.
Aided by some one on the out
side, Mrs. PhllHps, whu is under
sentence of from ten years ta
life imprisonment for the murder
of Alberta Meadows, escaped
from the county jail early today,
and tonight it was conceded at
the sheriff's office that she prob
ably was somewhere in Lower
California, Mexico.
HAD SIX HOURS START.
"Mrs. Phillips has apparently
crossed the border Into Mexico."
says Chief Deputy Sheriff A1 Man
ning at the end of a day marked
by a frantic search for trace of
the escaped murderess.
"She had at least six hours
start on us. She was probably
over the border before it was
discovered at 7 o'clock this morn
ing that she was gone."
Mrs. PhUlips sawed through the
steel bars of her cell window,
climbed to the roof of the jail build
ing, slid down a twenty-foot drain
pipe to the roof of an adjacent
building and then descended sev
eral flights of stairs to the street.
Her escape is known to have been
between the hours of 2 and 7
o'clock in the morning.
SEEK HER FRIENDS.
During the day several tips re
ceived at the sheriff's office gave
promise of putting the officers on
Mrs. Phillips' trail, but tonight it
was admitted that no trace of her
had been found.
After a thorough investigation the
sheriff's office declared that Ar
mour Phillips, husband of the wom
an, was not implicated In the es
rape. They also eliminated Harry
Kasst, a youthful friend of Mrs.
Phillips, who figured in her trial
as the man she was alleged to have
accompanied on a night trip to
Camp Baldy.
The authorities also searched for
Peggy Caffee. star prosecution wit
ness at Mrs. Phillips' trial and
against whom the latter had made
hreats. Miss Caffee, It was learned,
has been living at Long Beach
under an assumed name.

During her trial Mrs. Phillips
declared that should she ever *et

BRITAIN LEFT ALONE

LAUSANNE, Dec. 5.?The allies
are still unable to patch the differ
ences with the Russians and Turks.
The British now propose a leafrue
of nations to control the Straits.
The Italians, regarding the league
of nations plan as a British instru
ment, hold that the best solution
.is Tchitcherln's plan which guar
antees Italian and Russian commer
cial intercourse.
Italy cannot permit French Inter-;
i ference with Italian trade with Rus-;
sia,' in the event that Krassin, the
Soviet commercial agent now In
Rome, arrives at a trade arrange
ment with Premier Mussolini.
The French occupy the middle
position. While opposing the Soviet
policy, they also oppose a perma
nent British foothold in the Dar
danelles, fearing to consent to such
a plan which might arouse the hos
tility of any future Russian gov
ernment.
The Jugo Slavs, while following
the entente officially, nevertheless
support the Russians secretly. They
conferred today with Tchitcherin.
The United States is expected to
disapprove of any solution of the
Straits question involving the or
ganizing of a league of nations.
Between Lord Curzon's declitratlon
that the conference must consider
the fact of the British present posi
tion at Chanak and Constantinople,
and Ismet Pasha's statement that
"we are masters of the Straits,"
lies the chasm which the conference
cannot bridge. A patchwork solu
tion is the best that will probably
result.

Shortly after his arrival, in an
Interview he said:
I think I am entitled to say
that we have been given a meas
ure of freedom greater than en
Joyed by any State In the Amer

our powers seem larger.
The >lot on our position is ffes
lack of co-operation of the k!x
northern counties, but I have
the highest hopes that in time
the feeling of the north and
south for each other will undergo
a change. We can not expect
everything at one bo and.
Healy said that he had received
assurances of the good will of the
northern leaders while In London.
A number of English newspaper
men asked Healy what he would do
when addressed as "Tour Excel

I can not help people being po

Just as the plain man I am.
"KIDS" DE VALERA.
Asked if he had any bodyguard,
the governor general replied:
Ask De Valera if he will act
as my bodyguard.
Later in commenting on the ac

Every Irishman should open his
eyes to the nature of the cam
paign De Valera Is carrying on.
It is not a campaign of con
struction. It is one of destruc

Asked If he would live In the
vice regal lodge, bold courts and
entertain the King, Hsaly did not
give a direct answer, but said:
I am a subject of the Free
State. It will direct where I shall
live and what I shall do. All my
life I have worked with the peo

Between visits to President
Harding and former President
Wilson, former Premier Clem
enceau of France last night
made it clear that he would
throw any league of natiow
into the discard is exchange
for guarantee* of help from
the United States and Great
Britain in'the event of aggres
sion by Germany.
"I do not think that any league
of nations will suppress war," he
said, clenching his gloved hands in
emphasis. "I would rather have
the good guarantees of the United
States and Great Britain than the
word of twenty smaller nations."
TIGER INTERVIEWED.
Cltnunntu wax speaking In the
home of Henry White, former Am -
hassador to France and delegate to
VeraaUlea. to a group of correspond
ents representing newspapers in all
parts of the world.
In the morning Clemenceau spent
thirty-five minutes at the wnite
House and had delivered to Presi
dent Harding substantially the same
message he has been giving to
American audiences in the east and
middle west. This afternoon he will
call on former President Wilson,
author of the league of nations.
ATTITUDE OF WILSON.
Official Washington last night was
speculating on how Mr. Wilson will
receive the aged French statesman,
who has been so outspoken ? gainst
the league, emphasizing his distrust
of it as he goes along.
It was recalled that he refused to
receive Marshal Foch on his visit
here. Foch had spoken unkindly of
the league.
Col. E. M. Honse, Wilson's right -
hand man during the war. said
earlier in the day that he knew
Clemenceau would be glad to speak
his views on the floor of the United
States Senate. Senator Curtis, chair
man of the Rules Committee, said
he thought it could be arranged.
The old "Tiger," who really Is
more of a polar bear in appearance
and action. In his talk last night
mainly repeated what ha bad said
before, but here In the National
Capital he made It stronger la
spots.
TOLD SAME STOUT.
Clemenceau was asked If he had
told President Harding the same
thing he has been tailing the people
of the United States?that America
must take a new hand la the af
fairs of Europe or things wtn go
completely to snuh over there
He replied:
I couldn't tell him anything
different. I told him facta, but
I did not preach to him er try
to tall him what to do. I spoke
of European questions wklak
were American questions far a
time and tn which I believe
America should still be interested.
DOES NOT ASK PITT.
I did not come here to ask for
money or pity or halp far France
I am an old man, out of politics
1 ?'Ui remain out ?C politics.
