Today Thank Heaven, for Peace Railroads Pay, if— Stocks and Chickens. You Should Live to 120, ^ By ARTHUR BRISBANE j Li Yuan-Hung of China is flee ing from Pekin to get away from his troops and the troops threaten to loot the city. Stambouliski, until lately ruler of Bulgaria, is also in flight, to get away from his troops. England and France seem not far from the breaking point, in connection with the Ruhr inva tion. Is it not prudent and wise for the United States to stay inside the United States, letting Europe, Asia and Africa manage their vari ous troubles? Our president is safe and re-ure. Nobody is chasing him. Our problems are all susceptible of settlement by ourselves. We don't need any world court or league of nations to tell us what to do or how to do it, you may thank heaven for that. Exciting news here for the select few is an increase in the dividend of the great New York Central railroad, system to 7 per cent and a comforting jump in the price of the stock. One hun dred thousand shares were bought and sold by somebody in two hours yesterday morning. Apparently railroads can earn money, if you et them charge enough. If fake stock weVe like chickens, row happy foolish little investors would be! Jacob Maze goes to Jerusalem, taking 300 prize United States hens. He thinks a chicken farm will pay in Palestine and means to try it. Philosophically, he says: “I ean’t lose anyhow. If the hens don't lay in Palestine, I shall dll and eat them.” If only the oil stocks and other fraudulent stocks in which little people invest could be killed and eaten when they fail to pay divi lends. .-r f Dr. Williams, distinguished British scientist, says every man with common sense should live to 120. We know less than animals, for they know how to feed them selves, says he. He thinks the Bible text about three score and ten has done much harm. Men get ready to die about 70, and they do die. Other animals live to 10 times the age at which they reproduce their species, or even 20 times and more. Men will live to 140 one day. It is iusl as well they should die young now, for while they are still young their brains get hard and refuse to accept new ideas—then they might as well die and start over. Pierre Loti, a French writer and admirer of the Turks, is dead. Prance will pay for his funeral, but ia in doubt about carrying out Loti's request that his body be em balmed in the Egyptian fashion. Loti imagined himself the rein carnation of the Pharaoh Ramescs II, and looked like him. The hest u.-e for your body is to leave it for scientists to dis sect and study. But that shocks us, as we are stiil superstitious barbarians. The next best and the tidiest thing is to have the body cremat ed. That saves trouble. The third plan is to be buried in a fruit orch ard and let the trees get the bene fit of nature's process. Some fear that cremation would prevent resurrection in the flesh. But the power that could collect the body from 10,000 devouring worms coo'd also collect it from the air. Cne miracle is no more difficult th n another. Farmer* .< Ohio organize to ex terminate ,jws.

Coyotes gone, field mice ate all the alfalfa, and there was nothing for lambs and sheep to eat. To supply crows with a reasonable amount of corn and save them the trouble of pull ing up the young corn shoots might be cheaper than killing them off. China has bribed its bandits and European prisoner! of the bandits have been released. It is :'aid our government will demand that F’ekin prevent such bandit kidnaping! in future. China can not guarantee anything, and a bet ter plan might be to imprest upon Americans that traveling in China is not an absolute, necessity of life. A country that has nothing to look at worth seeing, and few, if any, sewers, might he left un visited. It is said France will send a warship here fco supply French boats with wine for sailors and other drinks for passengers. The battleehip may come ineide the three-mile limit, or into our har bors on ita merciful errand, inas much as prohibition officials can not board a war veaael.

I Harding Pleads for Familiarity With National Air Tells Legion Flag Conference Ony About 2 Per Cent of People Know Anthemn. fly Associated Press. Washington. June 14.—President Harding urged the American Legion's flag conference opening here today to adopt a code of rules and regula tions for the proper display of the flag and to include a provision that every American citizen should learh to sing the national anthem. “While you are adopting a code whereby the citizenship of America may show due reverence to the flag the president said in an address. “I would like you to go a step further and insist upon Americans being able to sing 'The Star Spangled Ban ner.’ “I have noted audiences singing— l should say trying to sing—the American national air but outside at about 2 per cent they are only mumbling or pretending to sing. I would like to have the spirit of Amer. ica show itself in song. I hope you will insist upon some suitable provi sion to that end in your code." While advocating the < xercise of proper reverence for the flag, the | president said it should not lie for gotten that American citizens hav< another obligation, "to maintain in America unimpaired the things for which the flag stands.” Scarcely 150 persons attended the opening session of the conference and Mr. Harding in beginning his brief address mentioned that the audience was "rather more limited in numbers than the president is accustomed to address.” But, he added, he was glad to speak because of a “con sciousness that it is a group of work ing men." The president's address was fol lowed by one by Samuel (lompers, ptesident at the American Federation of Labor, who also advocated a more widespread respect for the flag. fly International News (service. Indianapolis. Ind., June 14,—“A sick and exhausted world turned to the radiance of the Stars and Stripes as a revelation of hope and faith." declared Alvin Owsley, national com mander of the American LegioD, in a Flag day message today. He appealed for a preservation of the tradition of reverence for the American flag, declaring that this reverence was a powerful factor ir. preserving faith in the lofty ideals symbolized in the national banner. The message called attention to the meeting of representatives of patri otic and civic organizations in Wash ington today to draft a code of rules lo assist patriotic citizens in paying proper resnect to the flag. No I .aw to Punish. "I can understand how the flag means considerably more to the serv ice men of the republic than it does to the ordinary citizen.” the president said, "hut I cannot understand why the soldier or the sailor or the serv ice man in national (^-fenso owes any more to the flag than anybody else in the I'nifed States of America, and so everything we do to bring the flag into proper consideration by the citi zens of the republic is entirely com mendable and deserves to he cordially endorsed. ”1 do not suppose there Is any law to punish the president should he not stand at salute when the colors pass, hut. I would not be happy In my offl ■ iul capacity if I did not do it. I know I <m not going to feel the same when 1 salute the colors in an unoffl cial capacity and 1 would like to say that every salutation makes my con secration to the country and the flag a little more secure. “I have seen the flag raised abroad and I hate wondered where I like it heat. It is a beautiful picture 111 patriotic procession and pageant. It is an inspiration when it is unfurled over the American echoed house as a guarantee of the liberties and oppoi tunitles of the schooling youth of America. A Wonderful Picture. It is a wonderful picture over American official quarters abroad to the American who is hungering to see something of home and to feel his attachment somewhat emphasized. It has been a beautiful picture as the emblem of brotherhood and sympathy when it has been unfurled from the flagstaff of relief ships which have carried American bounty as an ez presslon of our generosity to the suf fering peoples of the world. "But somehow I have concluded recently that about the dearest pic ture of the flag—we shall not see it long—la when it Is presented or carried by the old veterans of the civil war. You know, had it not been for them, there would not be 48 stats glittering in the field of blue. 1 like to say, therefore, that somehow the flag appeals to me more strongly when it is presented by those who made this now Invincible union a pos sibility.” Trio Hit by Lightning; Rain Heavy Over State (('onllnnrO from I’hef One.l went out thin morning, practically putting the plant at that place out ot commission.

Union Pacific Big Welcome for Freed Captives Return of Special Train to Shanghai in Nature of Tri umphal Procession. By Inlfrnnllftniil News Srnlpf. Shanghai. June 14.—Forty Chinese prisoners remaining In the hands of the Shantung bandits following the release of the last of the foreigners sre espeeted to bo released within 45 hours. Oenerals Chen and Wu are at the bandit tamp as hostages for final Compliance of all terms which in cluded payment of $87,000 back pay to soldiers and enlistment of 2,500 bandits in the army. The return of the special train from Tsao Chwang to Shanghai bearing the released prisoners took on the nature of a triumphal procession. Honor guards appeared at all sta tions and when the train arrived here late last night 500 persons packed the station to give the released captives a welcome. Six of the eight men released came here, MaJ. Roland Finger and R. W. Rnwlatt proceeding to Tientsin, j Thrilling tales of narrow escapes from death, of acute privations and ex treme cruelty on the part of their captors were told by all of the ar rivals. The bandits, they revealed, donned their new gray uniforms and escorted their prisoners to the lines of the gov ernment troops with great ceremony. This wais a. welcome attention, the captives declared, because theyfeaisd that irreconcilable chiefs, who op posed (heir release, might at the last moment stage an ambush in the hills. Roy Anderson, American, who signed as guarantor of the Immunity clause in the agreement with the Iwndits after the brigands had re fused to accept the signature of Chi nese officials was highly praised by the captives as were the American Chamber of Commerce and the Ameri can Red Cross for the food and medi cal supplies furnished.
