S4VYS DEATH
IS UNREAL
Proves That the Dead Still lave.
Remarkable evidence that there is
no death, there are no dead, is offer
ed by Lloyd Kenyon .Tones. Room
1513, S3 8 S. Clark St.. Chicago, in his
book entitled "God's World," in which
lie shows how, through God's own
law, the spirits of those who have
passed through the portals of Death
can and do communicate witu tnose
on earth. One should be cheered by
the thought that loved ones have not
been transmuted into cold, unemo
tional individualities by death, for
God's door is always open between
earth life and eternal life, where we
all will be united forever. In his
illustrated booklet "Communication,"
he presents his view of life, here and
beyond the grave, which will enable
you to understand "God's World" and
show you how to obtain happiness
and a fuller understanding of life
here and in the hereafter. Simply
send your name to the author at the

SMUTS' ESTIMATE
OF WILSON'S PLACE
IN WORLD HISTORY
BY GEN. THE RIGHT HON. JAN
CHRISTIAN SMUTS,
Premier of the tnion of South Africa.
Pretoria, South Africa It has been
suggested that I should write a short
estimate and appraisal of the work of
President Wilson on the termination
Df his Presidency of the United States
of America. I feel I must comply
with the suggestion. I feel I may not
remain silent when there is an oppor-"
tunity to say a word of appreciation
for the work of one with whom I
came into close contact at a great
period and who rendered the most
signal ser'ice to the great human
;ause.
There is a great saying of Momm
sen CI believe) in reference to the
close of Hannibal's career in failure
and eclipse. "On those whom the
sods love they lavish infinite joys and
infinite sorrows." It has come back
to my mind in reference to the close
of Wilson's career. For a few brief
moments he was not only the' leader
of the greatest state in the world; he
was raised to far giddier heights and
became the centre of the world's
hopes. And then he fell, misunder
stood and rejected by his own people,
and his great career closes apparent
ly in signal and tragic defeat.
What is the explanation of this
tremendous tragedy, which is not
solely American, which closely con
cerns the whole world? Of course,
there are purely American elements
in the explanation, which I am not
competent to speak on. But besides
the American quarrel with President
Wilson there is something to be said
on the great matters in issue. On
these I may be permitted to say a few
words.
The position occupied by President
Wilson in the world's imagination at
the close of the Great War and at
the beginning of the Peace Confer
ence was terrible in its greatness. It
was a terrible position for any mere
man to occupy. Probably to no hu
man being in all history did the
hopes, the prayers, the aspirations
of so many millions of his fellows
turn at the close of the war. At a
time of the deepest darkness and
despair, he had- raised aloft a light
to which all eyes had turned. He
had spoken divine words of healing
and consolation-to a broken human
ity. His lofty moral idealism seem
ed for a moment to dominate the
brutal passions which had torn the
old world asunder. And he was
supposed to possess the secret which
'would remake the world on fairer
lines. The peace which Wilson was
bringing to the world was expected
to be God's peace. Prussianism lay
crushed; brute fprce had failed ut
terly. The moral character of the
universe had been most signally vin
dicated. There was a universal
vague hope of a great moral peace,
of a new world order arising visibly
and immediately on the ruins of the
old. This hope was not a mere su
perficial sentiment. It was the in
tense expression at the end of the war
of the inner moral and spiritual force
which had unborne the peoples dur
ing the dark night of the war and
had nerved them to an effort almost
beyond human strength. Surely,
surely, God had been with them in
that long night of agony. His was
the victory; His should be the peace.
And President Wilson was looked
upon as the man to make this great
peace. He had voiced the great
ideals of the new order; his great
utterances had become the 'contrac
tual basis for th armistice and the
peace. The idealism of Wilson would
surely become the reality of the new
order of things in the Peace Treaty.
In this atmosphere of extravagant,
almost frenzied v expectation he ar
rived at the Paris Peace Conference.
Without hesitation he plunged into
that inferno of human passions. He
went down into the Pit like a second
Heracles to bring back the fair Alces
tis of the world's desire.
The people, the common people of
all lands, did not understand the sig
nificance of what had happened.
They saw only that hard, lovely
Prussian Peace, and the great Hope
died in their hearts.
And the odium for all this fell es
pecially on President Wilson. Round
him the hopes had centred; round him
the dillusion and despair now gather
ed. Popular opinion largely held him
responsible for the bittei" disappoint
ment and grievous failure.
Will this judgment, born of mo
mentary disillusion and disappoint
ment, stand in future, or will it be re
versed ?

At the meeting of the National
Education association, department of
administration, committee on stan
dardization of schoolhouse planning
and construction held in Atlantic
City, March 3, 1921 Frank Irving
Cooper, architect, Boston, spoke as
follows on "Safety to Life in Schools:"
"This meeting is one of tremendous
importance. The Department of Ad
ministration of the National Educa
tion Association, for the first time ot
icially, calls the attention of the as
sociation to the ever increasing dan
cer from fire and panic threatening
the school children of America.
"Ten years ago the Russell Sage
Foundation authorized the first in
vestigation of State School Building
Regulations. That investigation
found Ohio and Connecticut -the only
states having regulations to safe
guard school children against fires in
schoolhouses.
"Ten years ago the National Insur
ance files recorded but one fire a day
in school buildings. Today, after ten
years of erecting more school build
ings, these same files recorded five
fires a day in the school buildings of
this country, and there is no telling
how many more fixes go unrecorded.
"The loss of a' school child's life
has become so common that no rec
ord is kept. Only when the children
are burned by the score, do the news
papers outside of the immediate lo
cality note, the fact.
"This destruction of life and
treasure is preventable, yet the par
ents, public and school officials do
nothing.
" Called to inspect the schools of
a New England town this past week a
fire hazard was brought to the atten
tion of the superintendent. He ad
mitted that he knew there were haz
ards, and said that with bated breath
he waited every time the fire alarm
rang during school hours until he
learned that the fire was not in a
schoolhouse.
"Will the National Euducation as
sociation act to stop this burning of
schoolhouses? Will it not demand of
every member, of every superinten
dent, individual effort to bring about
safety regulations in all States for the
planning and construction of school
houses? "No longer -is there an excuse for
putting this business off. Informa
tion on these matters is available, it is
free. Anyone, official or private cit
izen, for the asking may have the re
sults of the experience of competent
experts on every phase of the prob
lem of fire prevention.
The expenditure of but moderate
sums would make these daily fires im
possible. "Do not blame school officials, or
legislators. The blame rests on each
ONE of us. We do not work to our
utmost for safety regulations for
schools.
"Let the points of these remarks
stay with you. Other important
subjects, other interesting matters
will claim your attention, but there
is no topic more vital than the saving
of a school child's life.
' "Go home determined to start the
work in your own town. Legislation
is needed; the public must be taught
the need of safety legislation; the
securing of State School Building
Regulations must come."
3DOR COURT CASES

city court today included the follow
ing: Joseph Doyle, Providence, R. I.,

common pleas court jury yesterday
at the conclusion of his suit against
Andrew Sedlack. The amount repre
sents a commission which the plain
