By ARTHUR BRISBANE.
(CopyrlEht. 1919.)
How does this impress you in the
way of French socialism, paternal
ism, and anarchy all rolled into
one? The authorities in Paris,
under Clemenceau's orders, will
sell food directly to the people at
the lowest possible prices, fixed
not by profiteers but by govern
ment. And Clemenceau gives
orders to begin at once tearing
down the old fortifications of Paris,
useless now. This will give work
to the unemployed.
As you read the news, rapidly,
your mind works with the minds
of millions of others. And this
daily work of all the minds of a
nation, concentrated on the same
facts, is what slowly builds up na
tional intelligence and better gov
ernment. The newspaper is val-1
uable In proportion to the accuracy
and honesty with which it gathers,
publishes, and comments on the
news.
Here the Government has been
selling horses and mules, 45,000 of
them, far below cost and value to
get rid of them.
Why not put them to work on
drainage, irrigation, canal, and
road work? That would give work
to the idle, keep farmers busy
profitably, and use .Government
property today for the benefit of
America in the future.
Suppose France owned our vast
Government lands, swamps need
ing drainage, deserts that irriga
tion would make fertile, can you
imagine how Clemenceau, and
others, enlightened by revolution,
would hasten to .start draining and
irrigation to provide .work now,
and good farm homes later, for
their soldiers? We cannot expect in
America all the intelligence shown
by government in France, for
French statesmen have had their
lesson. Ours have not had it.
Policemen searched newsboys
celling souvenirs to soldiers at
Camp Hills. They were horrified
to find one hoy, Louis Feshman,
with sixteen hundred dollars in his
pockets, others with more than two
hundred dollars each. The boys
had done nothing dishonest, un
less it was to charge too big a
profit on the souvenirs they were
selling. They were ordered to sell
nothing except newspapers. The
soldiers must he protected.

This country is not paying suf
ficient attention to the interna
tional socialist conference at
Berne, in Switzerland. European
socialism is not like the Ameri
can brand. In America it is a
minor disturbance that occasional
ly calls meetings, tries to parade
with a red flag, and is beaten back
into obscurity by the police.
In Europe it is a force greater
than any other at this moment.
Germany is ruled by 1L It is the
controlling force in France and
Italy, and a great power In Eng
land. It may prove in the long run
that the talking now done at Berne
by international socialist delegates
will have more real effect on the
world's future than the talk at the
big international conference in
Paris.
Bernard Shaw is surprised to
learn that there are Rip Van
Winkle editors in America who do
not know that the war is over. He
should not be surprised. There
are many that do not even know
that the civil war Is over.
London scientists announce that
they have Isolated and identified
the bacillus that causes Spanish
influenza, his brother that causes
trench fever, and other bacilli that
cause nephritis, mumps, measles,
and typhus.
This means that a plan for iden
tifying disease germs has been de
vised that applies to many diseases.
If this be true, the announcement
is more important to the future
welfare of the earth than all the
deliberations by socialists at Berne
and statesmen in Paris put to

and long-range gun. It is the in
visible enemy seen only through
the microscope and oftener invisible

Kaiser in four years did not Kill
half as many as did the influenza
germ In one year. And the tiny
comma-shaped cholera bacillus has
killed ten times as many men as
all the worms armies throughout
all history.
Our Stone Age ancestors fought
the mammoth and hairy rhin
oceros. Our fight is with things too
small to he seen and infinitely :
more deadly. wnon that germ ,
fight is over, fighting won't be
ended. There will still be the fight '

Congressman Moore of Pennsylva

Concerning the alleged propaganda
to defeat the bill, Kitchin said:
"If this propaganda had succeeded,
the war profiteers of the United
States would have been saved ?l,7O0,

against this bill on the ground that
th" taxes it levies are too high, he
will be voting to take from the peo

it to the war profiteers, who alreadv

An airplane flight across the At

i aviators, to the project. He isiiolje

plans and the assembly of material
and 'personnel for the proposed
trans-Atlantic flight," acocrdlng to
the orders.
The naw for more than a year has
considered the'planVfeasible, and late
last summer a. trial was tde at-
tempted but it was delayed on ac
count of the necessities; of using all
machines and pilots for war work.
To Start From Halifax.
The flight probably will start from
Halifax, as it was planned to start tht-
flight last year there, this being the
closest point to Europe.
The navy's new monster flying boat,
theN. C. L.. which recently carried
fifty persons, probably will be used
in the attempt, because It can carry
such large amounts of gasoline, fuel,
and other supplies. It has three Lib
erty motors and Is the largest flying
machine in the world. Every test of
thje boat has been successful. Sleep
ing compartments for three men are
provided in the boat. It carries a
crew of two or three pilots, three me
chanics, and a radio operator.
Naval aviation exports believe the
most feasible plan to cross the At
lantic by air would be to string a
fleet of destroyers and supply ships
along the entire route, and send two
or three planes together to avoid the
danger of losing one. The destroy
ers could come to the rescue of a
disabled plane, as could one of the
escort planes. Communication could
be maintained by radio.
Thirty-nix Hour to Crona.
Thirty to thirty-six hours flying
time, it is estimated, will be required
to make the trip, and this experts be
lieve necessitates at least one atjp
In mid-ocean. This would also ic
licve the terrific strain on the r-ilots.
Aerial navigation has been fo per
fected during the war that theio ia
little danger of the planes gc-Uing
much off the course, it was stated.
The compass is their main reliance
for direction.
Keen rivalry has arisen bctweon
the Britifeh and the Americans to ob
tain the honor of making the first
transoceanic flight, and it is known
that Ihe navy Is making every effort
to beat the Britons to it.
If the flight Ih made It will be ail
American, it was pointed out. Liberty
motors will undoubtedly be used, and

have secured control of many

their yellow streak by allowing
the foes of organized- govern

their affairs.
When the shipyard strike Avas
called the men went out unwill

though there is a feeling that
the lower paid men were not
getting sufficient wage when
figured on the present cost of
living.
Then the radicals, having read
of the revolution it Petro
grad, tried to duplicate the
initial steps of the same here.
The city government told them
to go to hell, that all things
would run as long as there was
a government, and made no
concessions to the revolution
ists. They closed down the news
paper plants through fear of in

"Labor's police department Is head
