EUROPE GETS EVERYTHING;
AMERICA GETS ANARCHY
Americans Have Trouble With For
eigners Brought In to Supplant
Blacks.
(From the Manufacturers Record)
EW YORK.—But what is estab
lished is that the treaty is going
back to Europe with an American
brand on it somewhere. There is
enough strength in the senate to as
sure that.
“The process,” as Senator Poindex
ter says, “ of making a supreme sac
rifice of America, and of joining our
fortunes with the fortunes of men
everywhere,” is going to be stopped.
It is too early to assert that “the
process of internationalizing our for
tunes,” is at an end, but it can be
said with emphasis that the period in
which the United States has played
the part of a milch cow is drawing to
a close. At least the cow is not go
ing to be put in a Swiss barnyard.
If the President does declare that
Article X must stand as it is or the
treaty will be abandoned, then unless
the senate loses its nerve the treaty
will be abandoned. For that will be
notice, as clear as any notice could be,
that Article X does contemplate the
use of American troops in foreign
lands without the consent of congress
and that the United States does mean
to guarantee the political and terri
torial boundaries of the world. That
is something more than the Deity
Himself undertook. He might have
made men so that they were com
pelled to obey divine law; He gave
them, instead, freedom of choice. That
was the mercy of God; but it is a
mercy the man-created omnipotence
which is to sit in Geneva cannot know.
Its maps are immutable. What is shall
be forever. And if any doubt it the
might of the United States will be
used to convince them. That is Ar
ticle X and its accompanying articles,
as viewed by the senate after months
of discussion. It is to be hoped that
the doubting senator is wrong in con
cluding that his weak kneed asso
ciates will change that view under
final pressure.
In this plethora of crises, not the
least critical is the condition of the
President, striving so bravely, under
such stress and pressure, not only to
perform his duties but to perform
them with the foresight of genius.
The Esthonians, Poland and other
eastern “little” states are about to
make peace with the Bolsheviki, dis
patches state, and a Lenine emissary
has appeared in London with an offer.
There is an unauthenticated rumor
that Tokio has also been approached
by Moscow. Seizure of “red” litera
ture by Department of Justice agents
and publication of some of it has in
terested senators. They are more
than ever wondering what the new
internationalism means to America.
It is a fact that America is giving
Europe everything, almost her soul,
and Europe is giving in exchange—
anarchists. The first fruits of “join
ing our fortunes with the fortunes of
men everywhere” are described in the
headlines of the press daily, and a
greater authority than any now exist
ing has said, “By their fruits ye shall
know them."

CHALLENGE RESOLUTION
OF SOUTH CAROLINA
AMERICAN LEGION
t\TEW YORK, Dec. 4.—The National
lx Association for the Advancement
of Colored People through its chair
man, Mary White Ovington, has is
sued a statement challenging a reso
lution of the American Legion of
South Carolina which stated that the
association’s activities would tend to
cause friction between the races.
The statement, which asserts that
colored soldiers from South Carolina
outnumbered white and that the per
centage of illiteracy among the col
ored troops was less than among the
white, is as follows:
“I am at a loss to understand your
position regarding the work- of a
body that lays special stress upon se
curing due process of law rather than
mob violence for Negroes whether
they live in the north or the south.
Our branches, in whatever states they
may operate, voice the sentiment of
the educated, law-abiding Negroes
who have so recently helped America
to achieve victory in the Great War.
We note, however, that your resolu
tion condemmne our activities is from
‘the American Legion of South Caro
lina representing the white soldier
who fought in the recent great war.’
“We feel that we are right in con
sidering also the opinion of the col
ored soldiers of South Carolina, who
outnumbered the white, particularly
in view of the fact that among the
colored there was less illiteracy than
among their white comrades at arms.
“Very truly yours,
“(Signed)
“MARY WHITE OVINGTON,
“Chairman.”

PHENOMENON OF k BLUE SUN
Cause, Astronomers Assert, Was the
Eruption of a Large Volcano
at Sunda States.
Astronomers of different countries
have more than once recorded a blue
moon. This remarkable phenomenon
has been twice observed, both in Italy
and Austria, but only once In England.
A blue sun has appeared once only,
and will probably never be seen again
even to the end of exist emit. a stron
omers say. This occurred in August*
1883, at the Sunda States. The cause
was the eruption of a large volcano
In the terrible shock that followed
a great range of mountains was blown
completely into the air. The cavity
left on the Sunda States after thi*
explosion was ljOOO feet deep. Billions
of tons of rock, dust and mud were
blown heavenward for no less that,
IT miles.
It can be understood what the ex
plosion was like when it Is said that
at Batavia, exactly 100 miles away,
the street lamps had to be lit, although
the time was not yet noon. The sun
up to this time was completely ob
scored ; but toward sunset—the sunset
that only the tropics know—came the
magnificent phenomenon known to
astronomers as the blue sun. This
was seen by every one within 30 or
40 degrees of the equator.
Soap Bubbles Are Thin.
Prof. J. Perrin has made a study
of soap bubbles—lust the kind that lit
tle folks blow with clay pipes—and he
announces that they are five millimi
crons thick. This means that it would
take more than 5,000,000 films of a
soap bubble to make one Inch in thick
ness.
While this is getting things down
pretty fine, still the elementary leaflet
of mica is finer. Mica can be spilt
down to a thickness of one molecule,
which Is thinner than the thickness <4
the skin of a soap bubble, which sug
gests that the latter must be cryatal
llne In structure. Just before a soap
bubble bursts dark spots form on 1L
He found that these boused still dark
er, smaller spots. These are droplets
of water surrounded by strata con
densed upon the membrane. They are
described as being like dust motes In
n sunbeam.—Detroit News.
