T oday hp, Instead of Down. If e Like Strange Things. Our Filipino Gift. Busy Socialists. ARTHUR BRISBANE^ Something happened in the stock market yesterday, and this morning bears are sad. No par ticularly good news, yet stocks suddenly changed their mind and went up, instead of down. It is always dangerous to sell ' this country short, as Morgan said. It is also dangerous to “go long” just at present. The wise man in vests, but doesn't gamble. As one wise advertiser says, there is a ’ great difference between making a1 fortune and building a fortune. Strange things interest us more than things important. This will interest many. Chloroform is used to hurry the blooming of roses. When they have been chloro formed, rose plants think they have had a winter's sleep and start producing buds and flowers again. Plants, like the animals, are our humble brothers and sis ters. They suffer and enjoy as we do, to a less extent. As you read of roses influenced by drug’s you also read the grand jury’s report of the Philadelphia penitentiary. “A disgrace to the city and state,” the grand jury calls it. In that prison the drug business is well organized. So is the making of whisky within the prison. Chloroform makes the rose think it has been asleep. Mis erable human beings long for the imitation sleep that drugs bring. Mrs. Medill McCormick, wife of the senator, daughter of Mark Hanna, is the inventor of the chloroform rose idea. That will also interest you. If the Filipinos break loose from the United States, they will take some good things with them. In the Philippine islands are 8,174 schools, including 7,641 pub lic schools, established by this ilountry. The rest are schools maintained at priyate expense. The Catholics, as usual, provide most of them, 77 per cent against 8, per cent Protestant, the rest regular. One million nine hundred and four thousand four hundred and 5eventy-two young Filipinos attend the public gchoolg, taught by 24,975 teachers. All that means progress. German socialists demand that workmen be paid in gold, as the mark drops below Polish money ;n pursuit of its little friend, the ruble. Socialists will have to be con tent with something else. Ger many might as well try to pay a German workman in pink-eyed unicorns as in gold. There isn't any. We have it. Two of the ablest American socialists, Hillquit of New York, and Representative Berger of Mil waukee, attending the socialist convention in Germany are, as Mr. Dorgan would put it, “as busy as a one-eyed dog in a sausage shop.” Once they had nothing to at tack and defeat but Karl Marx's old enemy “capital.’’ Now they must hold back the communists while they decide how capital can he pulled down. On their European travels Messrs. Berger and Hillquit will not go to Russia, for that nation which professes to adore Ka»f Marx, would probably put both of them in jail. Old “capital” finds his comfort ih the fact that where a few of his enemies are gathered they al ways begin by fighting each other and end by hating each other much more than they hate him. The world is surprised to hear that verse of the 28th chapter of First Samuel—who said to his sei vants: ■ “Seek me a woman that hath a fimiliar spirit, that. 1 may go to her, and enquire of her.” And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at En-Dor.’’ The lady at En-Dor, when she found that Saul, whom she rec ognized, was not laying a trap for her, “brought up” Samuel, and he and Saul had a conversa tion. Alexander the Great went a long way into the desert, trying to find that same witrh, supposed to l>o immortal. The wisest of us are only a few centuries removed from belief in witches and witch doctors, and in troubles we go back to the old ideas. Hunger is a dictator that will be obeyed. While the allies are wondering what they can carve out of Germany, hunger is stir ring up red revolution. German police are shot by German work men at Essen. Anil that German question may be settled by an imitation of the Russian situation _which would mean that the amount of future reparations “in gold" would be exactly zero. The heathen Chinee is still full of guile; at. least foreign diplomats in China think so. They say that hitth Chinese officials planned the kidnaping of American and Brit ish subjects by bandits. It's prob ably part of a political plot. But it would take a Chinaman to un derstand that. plot. tCor»rl*bt, H-* t New Torv Cabinet * Approved by King; Cecil Only Recruit Lord Robert (riven Seat as Lord of Privy Seal—Regi nald MeKenna Given Appointment. By I nivrrul Service. London, May 25.—Premier Baldwin has named, and King George has ap proved. the new tory cabinet in which Lord Robert Cecil as lord of the privy seal, is the sole recruit. Lord Rol* ert's prestige comes from his family name and his identification with the league of nations. It was announced that Reginald McKenna, who held high cabinet ap pointments under Premier Asquith as a liberal, will join Baldwin's cabinet. A London city seat will be found for McKenna, and In two or three months he will be made chancellor of the ex chequer. The delay in his acceptance has been due solely to the condition of his health, as following his serious illness his doctors advise further rest. McKenna was at one time regarded as a possible prime minister and ear ly in his parliamentary career he was a friend of Sir Charles Dlllke and other extreme radicals. Baldwin's friends believe he has scored heavily in securing a financier who has the confidence of Lombard street. Kir Robert Horne peremptorily de clined the chancellorship of the ex chequer, and so Premier Baldwin has decided to also hold that important post for the present. Austen Cham berlain has concluded to remain out side the breastworks, temporarily at least. Premier Baldwin exhausted every effort to Induce the "stray sheep"— Sir Robert Horne, Austen Chamber lain. Lord Birkenhead, Sir Laming Worthlngton-Evans and others—to re turn to the tory fold, but his labor was fruitless. Outside of Lord Robert Cecil, who has taken the post reserved for Cham berlain. the only change from the Law cahinet is the appointment of I. C. C. Davidson, secretary to the for mer premier, as chancellor of the duchy of I^tncaster, and the shifting of Sir William Joynson Hicks from tlie postmaster generalship, which is left vacant, to the financial secretary ship of the treasury. River Dam Saves Yearly Its Cost of Construction Keokuk, la.. May 25.—Six million tons of coal are saved annually by the operation of the Keokuk dam in the Mississippi river here, according to an estimate by the operators of the dam. Power hidden under the surface of the Mississippi and harnessed by the dam is lighting stores and running street cars in St..Louis and a great many smaller towns in Iowa, Illinoia and Missouri. Miles upon miles of cables and conduits run out from the dam in almost every direction. Accepting the average price of coal, it can readily be seen that the saving in one year of this fuel would more than pay for the entire coet of the dam, which was placed at J29.000.000 in 1913. when it was completed. Cartridge in Lighted Pipe Wounds Iowa Man in Head Kpfdiil Illupfttch to The Omaha B**. Shenandoah, la., May 25.—Lige Kearns of Thurman forgot a 22 cart ridge and left It In his pocket with the smoking tobacco, loose. He filled his pipe, struck a match and found him self the victim of an explosion that caused a severe wound In his fore head. The metal part of the shell was driven into his fare.

Teaselle, United building, Los Angeles. The body waa clad in working cloth ing, including a soft striped shirt and an overall Jacket.

McAdoo Tosses Headgear Into Political Ring Fortner Serretary of Treasury Soliciting Support of Lead ers for Nomination at Democratic Convention. By Vnlverf.fi! Service. Washington, Slay 20.—William Gibbs SlcAdoo, former secretary of the treasury and son-in-law of Wood row Wilson, came to Washington to attend the unveiling of the Alexander Hamilton statue and remained long enough to become a full fledged can didate for the presidency. Conferences held here during Hie week have convinced McAdoo that he has a good chance to win the demo cratic nomination. The uncertainty as to whether or not he will cast his liat into the V924 ling has been dissipated by the fact that McAdoo himself, in conferences with various state leaders, has solicited the support of their respec tive delegations in the convention and has made open overtures for the nomination. Formal announcement of Ills candi dacy and the selection of a campaign manager and headquarters for the campaign are expected to be made within a few days. Daniel C. Roper, who was internal revenue commis sioner under McAdoo, probably will be picked to manage the campaign. He was very active in behalf of McAdoo at the San Francisco convention. An important meeting of the Mc Adoo supporters was held at a down town hotel Thursday night.

By lilternal inmtl Newa Sertli f. Constantinople, May 25.—The near inst situation was critical today with the constant threat of war between Greece and Turkey. The menace has been aggravated hy the ultimatum of the Athens government demanding that the Turks at Lausanne renounce j all claims to war indemnity hy tomor row night. Thi* city is rife with mild rumors.' One was that tlie Greek fleet was cruising off the Dardanelles, but this was denied by the British and French commanders. Additional British warcraft are com 1 ir<g to1 the Dardanelles. An evidence of the tension was j shown by a public statement issued by i Bafat Pasha, commander of the Tur- J kish troops In Thrace: "Let us have war or peace at cnee, with no further delay.” The public excitement was height ened hy news of the blowing up of [ the bridge over the Maritza river con-1 neeting Adrianople with Karagatch.. The Maritza river forms the Turco-' I Greek boundary in Thrace, the Turks having Adrlanople and the Greek* Karagateh. The Greeks charged tliflt the Turks blew up the bridge to sever Coinrnu ideation, Turkish officials claim that the structura was struck by light ning. A high Turkish official made the following explanation to Intemation si News Service: "The river under the bridge was mined as a war precatulon to pre rent Greeks from crossing into Adrl finopie If hostilities liegan. Wednee day a thunderstorm came up. Light ning set fire to the bridge and some of the mines exploded. It cannot be considered an act of war." It is certain that the first blast of hostilities will bring a great Knnal ist army Into Constantinople. Mus :apha Kemal Pasha is at Angola Last of U. S.
