The sparks that Hew at the arm conference
on Wednesday have their source, in the national
pride of a people who have long borne adversity,
resisting with fierce dignity any attack, from
whatever source, on their prestige. France has
little thought of declaring war on England, but
France does not propose to accept a secondary
place in the councils of the world. The demand
for a right to increase its naval strength has for
its basis not so much a purpose to carry on of
fensive war, or to provide means for defense, as
to keep up appearances. France was sorely
wounded in the great struggle, whose blows and
battles fell chiefly on French soil. The man
hood and womanhood of the nation was ex
pended with no thought of self in defense of the
land and its institutions; it is a noble addition
to a noteworthy record of achievement. Glory
will never depart from France, so long as his
tory is written. '
What the French do not seem able to com
prehend is that' the same sympathy which went
out to them on August 1, 1914, still holds good.
It is potent to protect France in the future, with
out the need of such sacrifice as the construction
and maintenance of a great navy will entail. The
disposition is to help France, as the greatest suf
ferer, not as a poor relation, and every step that
has been taken so far has been along such lines.
French people are under a load of taxes that
makes the burden laid on Americans seem light;
their reconstruction problems are of a magnitude
that exceed popular comprehension; their politi
cal situation is even more complicated than ever,
because of these conditions. That sublime cour
age, which has supported them in pther trials
will see them through this, but they will lose
nothing if they check the extravagance that is
entailed in their naval ambitions.
Secretary Hughes expressed the general sen
timent of America, when he reminded M. Sar
raut that the conference was called to discuss
the limitation, not the extension, of armaments.
When .the United States,' Japan, and Great
Britain, best able to pay the cost entailed, are
willing to reduce, it is ridiculous on part of
France to insist on permission to expand. No
consideration of national dignity or security war
rants the extravagance involved. If, however,
France is nursing militaristic plans, and this may
be doubted, then that nation is starting down
an unhappy road to certain doom.
Why Its "Knocking" Goes On.
"Don't you think it is time the World
Herald stopped knocking the government?
The enclosed cartoon is a disgrace only to
to themselves. .The election is over and it is
the duty of every loyal citizen, and especially
the newspapers of our fair land, to support the
present officials and the government they are
building up after the terrible war." Excerpt
from a Letter Written to The, Bee.
In reply we can only say that while the elec
tion of 1920 is history, another is coming on in
1922, and the World-Herald's antics are but
preparatory to the performance it plans giving
during the coming months. Its principal owner
hopes to be returned to the United States senate
by the voters of Nebraska, and if the publication
of unjust: and unwarranted attacks on
the republicans in office will contribute to
that end, his success is assured, for his paper
will very likely make good on its past record,
. and abuse without stint or reason everything that
looks like a republican or republican doctrine. It
is unfortunate, but the donkey's bent to destruc
tion leads it in that direction.

When a Man's Money Goes,
"A good sport, but an awful dumb-bell," cer
tain young women are quoted as saying of a cer
tain young man who has fallen under suspicion
of misappropriating funds belonging to other
persons.
Such frankness is customarily not heard until
the subject has come to the end of his rope.
Sometimes the man himself makes the confes
sion of folly, but whether he does or not he is
not allowed to miss realizing the mistake he
made.
The habit of strutting is not peculiar to the
males in the poultry yard, for men also find joy
in crowing aloud and swaggering about like the
cock of the walk. It is not always that the
other sex is taken in by these airs of wealth and
postures of importance. Sometimes they merely
humor the delusion by accepting extravagant
gifts or entertainment without question.
Not infrequently girls supposed to have been
brought up with definite and strict standards ef
conduct allow and even encourage young men
to spend more on them than they should. Thrift
is made impossible and pleasure to consist only
of extravagance. If in their pursuit of good
timet the young women will not pause to con
sider whether they are doing right to encourage
the rapid speeding of their companion's funds,
it might b well for pit young men themselves
Plain Talk on Plain Imucs.
A tall to arms has been issued by Cordell
Hull, chairman of the national democratic com
mittee, a clarion note whose echoes will rever
berate through the cloisters to which the rem-
nants of tha one-time militant organization with,
drew year ago. Some of them may have caught
their breath since, and few may even have re
vived hope. It is to these that Judge Hull ad
dresses himself, saying "the time has come when
patriotic citizens and democrats should indulge
In plain talking." Admitting the distinction the
judge draws, we ran see no good reion why the
two should be kept apart any longer.
What The Bee does want to challenge is the
assertion of Chairman Hull that "for two years
prior to 1921 the only remedy offered by the re
publican leaders for post-war conditions was an
antiquated high tariff and the archaic doctrine
of isolation." This sounds good, but the undit
putable fact is that the republicans, while con
trolling congress during the last two years of
Wilson's administration, had to slender a ma
jority that it was impossible to pais a measure
over the president's veto without democratic as
sistance, and that was not forthcoming. More
over, the president on one occasion definitely
served notice on the congress that any effort to
modify laws enacted by a democratic congress
would meet executive disapproval, so the re
publicans did not feel warranted in wasting time.
Mr. Wilson did veto the bill for a budget director
to supervise the expenditures of the nation, his
last notable contribution to his party's efforts at
hampering reconstruction.
In July, 1918, when the democrats were in
full control of the government, Senator Wads
worth of New York presented a resolution call
ing for a commission to formulate plans for get
ting the business of the country back onto a
peace basis. This was promptly overlaid by a
resolution offered by Senator Overman, who was
Mr. Wilson's spokesman in the senate, and the
two were sent to a committee, presided over by
a democrat, from which they never emerged.
Since March, 1921, the republicans have been
busy straightening out the muddle left by the
democrats. Taxation has been reduced; 2,500.000
heads of families will have occasion to rejoice
because the income tax will be lighter on them
next March than it was last under the law then
existing, which was passed by a democratic con
gress of which Judge Hull was a member, and
which President Wilson forbade a republican
congress to touch. Relief in many other ways
has been provided for the people, who are slowly
coming out of the slough in which the war left
them.
As to other charges made by the chairman of
the democratic organization, as member of the
house ways and means committee, and one of
the best informed men in that body, he knows
what value to put on his insinuation that the
drop in prices following the war is due to re
publican ascendancy in the United States. How
could any administration in our country have
prevented Germany from issuing billions of
marks, to the utter demoralization of European
business, or how could it have sustained the buy
ing power of Europe without mortgaging our
own credit? It is time for plain talking, but the
chairman of the democratic national committee
is still disseminating bunk. : :
A New Jobholders Shakeup. l
In one vear the number of federal employes
has been reduced 93,000. This is quite a shake
no. but there is more to come. Under an order
of President Harding a plan has been put under
wiv for interchaneintf government clerks and
other employes between one bureau and another
which it is plain to see will accomplish consider-
ble saving.
Officials from the various departments will
sit as the Federal Personnel board, under direc
tion of the Civil Service commission, with gen
eral responsibility for improving the service and
economy of employment methods in public busi
ness. When emergency work requires enlarged
forces in anv particular bureau, these will be
drawn from other government offices where work
happens to be slack. No one who is tamiliar
with the interior of a public office building can
fail to realize that there are slack times and rush
times in the various departments and that by
ihifting clerks about expenses might be cut.
There are other measures also to come be-
k. the new ioint board, but this is the most
striking. It is only one of the many devices to
the oeoole's money recommended by the
budget director, Charles G. Dawes. Under the
federal executive civil service there are now av,-
nnn r-mnloves. some 78.000 in Washington and
the rest about the country. These will not be
sked to accept inadequate wages or to over
it is no doubt clearly seen that what
fault exists is less theirs than that of the system.
This is one of the leaks that is being stopped, not
the greatest source of waste, but an important
one, nevertheless.
The nobte lord who declares that the future
peace of the world depends on publicity is much
nearer the right guess than those who wish se
crecy. It is not only a matter of open diplomacy,
but even more of getting whole nations and
races to think about the same things. tThe prob
lems of each man are similar, no matter under
what flag he may live, and once this community
of interest is sensed solutions may be much
easier.
China, which is now undergoing the pleasant
little experience of having other nations decide
what its tariff shall be, may some day conclude
that if it had a big army and navy it could arrange
its own internal affairs. In which case the white
race will have brought on some rather awkward
circumstances. -
The prince of Wales is indeed cast in a hard
role with Asia as the stage. The attempt of this
young man to hold the "empire together through
his personal effort is quite as melodramatic as
anything in history.
It has been discovered that dime novels are
again in favor and the truth is that they have

Borah Bows to Lenin
Idaho Senator Put Halo on
Power of the Soviet Apostle.
(From the PhlladslphU Ledger.)
In whit has become hit general break with
the Political party to which he nominally be
long, Senator Borah again hts wandered off the
administration reservation. It i Kusna this
lime. The senator from Idaho, elbow to elbow
with the senator from Maryland and the senator
from Wisconsin, now adds the "Lenin bloc" to
the man of the senate.
The man from Idaho wants soviet Russia
recognized. He would welcome the duumvirs
of Moscow at two honet and much-maligned
men, and in a burat of acclamation places upon
the brow of Lenin this chaplet:
I make tne assertion that his It one of the
two or three great intellects produced by the
world war.
He it referring to the intellect, of course, that
has set Russia back into welter of barbarism
and darkened her skies with the shadows of a
second dark age. It is this tame intellect mat
so marvelously has advanced the good of the
Russians through bringing starvation and famine
pangs to approximately 20,000,000 souls, turning
her great cities into decaying ana auauuuntu
communities, jamming her prisons full of the
best brains in Russia and keeping his butchers of
the Red Chekha busy twelve months in the year.
The blood, starvation and terror that came
into Russia with Lenin and Trotzky were all
Wnt discreet v in the far background by soviet
Russia's new defender. He masked and screened
them In a now of great, mellifluous and nign
sounding words. In his opinion, the bolshevist
government is a better and kindlier government
than that of the late and not always lamented
czar. That is a matter of opinion, a choice te
tween two evil things; but the senator's choice
illuminates his mind as with a great ngnt. ine
obvious reply to one of his most impassioned
questions is that it mere was ever a govern
that was more inhumane and bloody than
that of the czar," it is this same red-handed and
autocratic soviet gang.
In throbbing sentences the Idahoan reminds
the world of Russian sacrifices that were many
and terrible. The allied world has given full
tribute to the old Russian armies. They sleep
from the Baltic to the beechwoods of Bukowina,
and the spirit of the old, faith-keeping Russia
sleeps with them. Mr. Borah failed to remind
us, however, that it was later Russian treachery

The American Spirit
In the oath which is administered to every
witness m an fc-nglish court ot law ne is re
quired to tell "the truth, the whole truth, and
nothinc but the truth." If such an oath had
been exacted formally at all the discussions that
have ever taken place in modern history between
diolomats. either the history of the past decade
or two would have been entirely changed or per
jury would have been a commonplace of states
manship. It is more iiKeiy mat statesmen wuum
have perjured themselves than that history would
have been altered. What has happened at Wash
ington is not that public asservations of truth
fulness and sincerity have taken the place of the
suave falsehoods and artful evasions of pre
war (and not a little post-war) diplomacy, but
that in a single dramatic speech Mr. Hughes has
r-Viano-pd pntirplv the method of diplomatic ap-v
proach towards the discussion of international
questions. By saying precisely what he .meant
with a bluntness that took away the breath of
the statesmen of an older civilization he created
a new and altogether purer atmosphere. There
has been very little reaction from the stimulant
thus administered by Mr. Hughes, 'and the chief
hope that no serious reaction will occur, lies, we
think, in the determination of the American pub
lic not to allow the subtleties of the old world
diplomacy to blur the main issues or to turn de
cisive action into pious resolutions or amuiKuuua
and futile professions of good will.
"If there are risks," said Senator Borah m a
striking interview which he gave to Mr. Wilson
Harrjs on Wednesday, "we ought to take them.
We took risks in war, he added, and we must
take them in peace if we are to achieve any
thing worth having. That is me spirit m wren
America has entered these discussions; and while
some of the delegates from other nation's have
tried hard to live up to the bold and practical
American ideals, they have had to stumble along
over difficult and unfamiliar country. On that
account we agree with our diplomatic corre
spondent as Jo the need, if it is at all possible,
for Mr.' Lloyd George to join the conference at
an early date. He will be able to do that which
Mr. Balfour, with all his pleasant gifts, is con
stitutionally incapable of accomplishing. He will
know how to reply to a bold and
generous gesture with a gesture as bold
and generous. The complicated problem
of China is more likely than any other
to lower the atmosphere of the conference, to
diminish enthusiasm and hope, and to make a
watchful public weary and suspicious. There
are "risks" to be taken about China, and we
hope the British prime minister will shortly add
the weight of his influence to that of Mr. Hughes
in persuading the conference to cut straight
through rivalries, suspicions and delicate bal
ancings of rival interests to a courageous solu
tion. London Daily News.

Paria and Washington.
The difference between the Paris peace con
ference and the Washington armament confer
ence, according to' H. Wickham Steed, editor of
the London Times, is that at Paris they tried to
plant a full-grown oak in poor soil, while at
Washington they are starting with an acorn in
carefullv prepared ground.
But it "may also be true to say that, consider
ing the differing psychological state of the world,
it would have been as difficult to have begun
with an acorn at Paris as it would now be to un
dertake a full-grown oak at Washington. At
Paris peace had to be made with an effort to en
force and protect it. In Washington the effort is
to protect peace where it already exists. Spring

FIGHTINO DIPHTHERIA.
During the 10-year period before

In the 10-year period ending with
liiO, the rate waa on death for
each 2.013 inhabitant. In other
worda, aa a fatal dlaaaaa of the com
munlly. diphtheria waa lea than
one-third ui bud aa It wa before

Nevertheleaa, Health Commission
er Robertson it not aatUrted, and he
haa called on a commission tor help
In the last 10-year period referred
to there were 7J.I.83 case ot dlph
therla reported and of then 8, It
died.
This commission advised that Chi
cago make use of the Schick test
ami T-A vaccination.
The Schick tent consist of an In
lection of a small amount of dlph
therla toxin into the eklu of the
arm. If the Injection cauae a char
acteristic red spot to appear, we aay
mat the person tested la susceptible
to diphtheria, if there is no red
spot, or if it Is not characteristic,
we aay the individual i immune to
diphtheria. Not all people, not even
all children, can have diphtheria.
Of children 2 to 4 years old, only
3J per cent are shown to be sue
ceptlbla by the Schick test. Tills
proportion falls with age until we
nnd that only one-sixth or the chli
dren 18 years old ar subject to
dlpntneria. ,
Their next recommendation was
that persona found subject to diph
theria be made Immune by vaccina'
tlon with T-A.
Thi consists In (tlvinsr three In
lections, given at Intervals of i
week, of a mixture of diphtheria
toxin and diphtheria antitoxin. The
toxin la Just about neutralized by
antitoxin. The amount injected un
der the skin at each sitting is 15
minims.
After an injection children under
get almost no reaction. Older
people have some fever and head
ache lasting for one to three days,
and some redness, tenderness and
swelling of the arm.
The protection conferred by this
vaccination starts, aa a rule, in the
second month and lasts for Ave years
or longer. In some cases it is slower
than that in starting.
.Plainly, then, this method of pro
tection is or no value when used with
persons already exposed.. Such ex
posed persons should be injected
with almost one thousand units of
antitoxin. This confer a protection
which lasts for three to four weeks,
about long enough to protect against
tne errects or tno exposure.
t-a l used only as a vaccine. It
hag no power to cure a case of de
veloped diphtheria.
Three months after one dose of it.
73 per cent of those on whom it was
used were immune to diphtheria, as
snown by tne Schick test.
After the same period 90 per cent
or those injected twice were immune.
When three injections had been
used 9o per cent were Immune.

Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
By MILDRED MARSHALL.
Today's talismanic stone is the
coral. It brings sure recovery to
those who' are ill; in fact, the an
cients believed that one who wore a
bit of coral could not fall ill. It was
also credited with power to bring
great strength and the power to re
sist contagion.
The amethyst .is today's natal
stone, which, according to an ancient
legend, protected its wearer from
harm resulting from either physical
or mental dangers. Those who are
Inclined to be too impulsive should
wear the amethyst, since it some
what counteracts this tendency.
White should be worn today; sa
cred to the moon goddess, it is sym
bolic of purity, and is particularly
fortunate for young girls.
Today's flower is the yellow rose,
which dispels treachery and brings
true friendship.
