Today European News Is Ours. Woe to the Underdog. Keep Your Diamonds. Wise Senator Who Knows. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE European news may become American news, soon, with repub licans and democrats both appar ently bent on some kind of league adventure. Here and there, for tunately, common sense is heard. Senator Moses of New Hampshire, just returned, says he found all European countries hating each other, and hating America most of all. “I consider the world court an adjunct of the league of nations, and 1 am absolutely against it." is his sensible summing up. Hd will find that many Americans agree with him. The French court has sentenced Krupp von Bohlen, who married the Krupp heiress, to 15 years in prison and a fine of 100,000,000 marks. Two of his directors are sentenced to 15 years, one to 10 years and two to 20 years in prison, each to pay 100,000.000 marks. Their chief offense was failure to stop the sounding of the siren at the Krupp works and propaganda that resulted in killing several French soldiers. Woe to the vanquished. Von Bohlen never expected that, when selected by the kaiser, as worthy to bo father of little Krupps, he married the Krupp heiress. What the Germans will do in France, when their turn comes, as, of course, it will come, history will tell. Meanwhile, England fears France's airships, the world’s real commanding navy. Unpleasant years are ahead in Europe, and why President Harding should select this ’ time for making the United States dependent upon a European world court, the good Laddip Boy alone knows. Two pieces of news are start ling, but don’t be frightened. Real diamonds, say the scientists, will soon be made artificially. Synthetic rubies are aesthetically as fine as real rubies. Neverthe less, don’t hurry to sell your retd precious stones. The African lady selects her nose rings and the white lady her diamond rings for no aesthetic reason. Startling news Number Two tells you the sun is disintegrating. Photographs of the Corona show fine particles of matter flying off in all directions, carried by the force of light rays. Light is a form of radio activity and because light is matter, a light ray coming from a distant star bends in toward the sun,’ obeying Newton’s law. That’s a phemonen that so greatly excites the Einsteinians. The sun has been throwing off matter in light for a thousand million years, and can afford it. The whale swallows tiny creatures as it ploughs the seas and so our sun takes in solid food traveling through indefinite space. Halley’s comet lost part of its tail. The last time it visited us the sun ate it, and we got part of it in sun light—very interesting, much more so than any ordinary miracle. Monsieur Siki, dark fighter from Senegal, visited Maxim's restaurant leading a tame lion with a rope around its neck. The diners left. In Tutankhamun's day. Siki's an cestors were thunderstruck at sight of a pharaoh driving his war chariot, a trained fighting lion running ahead of him to slaughter black enemies. Now Siki, him self the lion of Paris, leads his own tame lion and white men flee be fore him. It must please that sim ple intellect. The Greeks have learned some thing from Versailles and the famous treaty. Venizelos warns the allies at Lausanne that Greece will not pay a dollar in reparations to Turkey, although Turkey won the war. Greece would rather go on fighting and she's right. It's cheaper as Germany knows now. (Ceprrlaht, IMS.) Children of Beet Workers Will Have Summer School Special Olapilch In Tha Omaha Bee. Scottsbluff.

While lowest temperature In Omaha Tuesday night was 35 above zero, other towns In the state reported temperatures ranging from 22 to 30. North I.oup reported a temperature of 22.

In some instances, individual plants In beds were killed by the frost,while ! the rest of the plants In the same bed were uninjured. Horticulturists are puzzled by the phenomenon. Gardens on hilltops In Omaha gen erally escaped damage, while flow ers and vegetables in the lowlands were frozen, allhough the actual tem perature on the hills was lower than In the valleys. This was attributed to the greater moisture in the low lands. City Commissioner J. B.
