Today
Anarchists, Be Gentle.
Mr. Craig’s Case.
Taking War Seriously.
Birth Control in Chicago.
^ By ARTHUR BRISBANE j
The Spanish and Italian consu
lates in Philadelphia were bomb
ed soon after midnight yesterday
morning. Scores of persons were
slightly injured by flying wreck
age, many buildings were injured.
Because of the building attacked
there is reason to suppose that
foreigners caused the explosions.
Those gentlemen should apply
to this country the rule so useful
to England. That country has
welcomed political refugees and
malcontents of all sorts, refusing
to give them up for any political
reason. And such refugees, on
English soil, have always behaved
themselves well. An unwritten
law says “anarchists must be care
ful while in Great Britain.”
Those explosions may be aimed
at fascisti government, now ruling
Spain and Italy.
, There is an education for the
people, and some judges, in the
excitement following a.court de
cision that would have sent Comp
troller Craig of New York to jail
for 60 days, because he criticized
a judicial decision highly pleasing
to the street car gentlemen.
Judge Mayer, in a few hours,
has learned some things that he
evidently did not know^-including
the fact that this is a republic and
that the people, usually sluggish,
wake up when anybody tries to
change the form of government
—from the gutter, or from the
bench.
There is talk of saving Mr.
Craig from jail with a pardon by
the president. That would be un
fortunate and Mr. Craig very like
ly would refuse such a pardon.
What is wanted is a public apolo
gy to the public from the judge
who has insulted, public opinion.
In the case of a judge, ignorance
is not a sufficient excuse.
War, only a game to kaisers and
financiers, is a serious matter to
others. The Baron and Baroness
De Montigny had an only son, an
aviator, and he was killed fighting
for France in 1918.
Often his father and mother
visited his grave. They went for
the last time last week.
Both killed themselves on hia
grave.
There are millions of such fath
ers and mothers in France, hav
ing, as De Montigny wrote, when
he died, “nothing to live for.”
That should be remembered by
those unable to understand the re
morseless French attitude toward
Germany now.
That attitude is perfectly natur
al—but looking to the future, it
nean' more sons killed and is,
h^refore, not wise.
\ court decision in Chicago au
thorizes the establishment of the
first birth control clinic in Amer
ica. There are many theories as
to the desires of Providence in re
gard to population and compulsory
birth.
To the layman it seems that wo
men are entitled to whatever
knowledge exists concerning them
selves. Others may find comfort
in the fact that Divine Providence,
if opposed to birth control, by ex
ercise of super-natural power
could easily prevent it.
On that subject many things
may be said on both sides.
It is fortunate for the world
that Mrs. Caruso had 19 children,
the nineteenth being the great
singer. It was fortunate that Ma
dame Bonaparte had many chil
dren, since Napoleon, who made
kings ridiculous, was late in ar
riving. On the other hand, it
doesn’t seem just, and you ran
hardly imagine that it represents
the will of Providence, when an
unfortunate consumptive mother
with a drunken husband and six
or seven children she is unable to
take care of, is compelled to bring
other children into a world of suf
fering and misfortune.
"Von Seeckt, dictator of Ger
many, dissolves all radical par
ties.” Germany has made a des
perate effort since the armistice to
exist as a republic. But the allies
apparently will not have it. The
next step may be in the dread di
rection of Mussolini rule, or chaos,
or a restoration of the old system.
The German republic, had it
been allowed to live, would have
been a better thing for all Europe,
and especially a better protection
for western Europe, including
France and Belgium. The day
will come when those countries
will miss the German wall between
themselves and Russia and Asia.
Lilli Lehman, at 75, is a great
musician and the greatest living
teacher of singing. But how un
wise she is !n her announcement
that she will not teach singing to
any young woman “in love, be
cause artists must give undivided
attention to their work.”
Any girl not in love is cither
getting over a love affair or Bhc
is abnormal. An artist can con
vey, through music, acting, or any
thing else, only what the artist
feels. Any girl taking singing les
sons and not in love with someone
—if only the memory of Wagner
or Byron, can never develop much
of a voice. As great a woman as
Lehman should know it.
A reverend gentleman in New
York announces a sermon on "An
atole France, the New Voltaire.”
Anatole France ought to cable
bis thanks for that compliment.
It is like speaking of a newly
hatched wren, as “the new alba
tross.”
Anatole France, in history, will
stand as far from Voltaire as
Rutherford B. Hayes from George
Washington.

Terrible Agony
in Burning Pit
Two Die and 13 Others In
jured in Blast in Illinois
—Pray for Rescue.
By AKHOdtted Pre»*.

injured and narrow escapes encoun
tered by others. One man told of
tearing his coat from his body and sat
urating it in his dinner pail to pro
tect himself against the flames while
crawling to safety. Others told of
how they dragged their unconscious
co-workers until their strength forc
ed them to abandon their rescue at
tempts.
Cries for help penetrated the dark
chambers of the mine, others told,
these cries being mingled with loudly
uttered prayers for unexpected relief.
Women and children streamed to the
mine to learn of the fate of their hus
bands and fathers.
The cause of the explosion could not
be determined, it was stated by mine
officials, but it was believed by sur
vivors to have been caused by gas.
probably black damp. About 1,100
men were in the mine at the time of
the explosion, but only a small num
ber are said to have been working
in the immediate vicinity of the ex
plosion area.

Helen Hamilton Celebrates
Birthday Amid Gifts Sent
From Over World—Con
dition Improved.
By InternatloiMl News Service.
Camden, N. J., Nov. 26—The
prayer of little Helen Hamilton that
she might live to enjoy her 13th
birthday has been answered.
Helen, who is suffering from an
incurable Aart ailment, was 13 today
and, happily, her condition was bet
ter than It has been in many days.
Propped up it: bed, the child thrilled
over the gifts showered upon her.
Presents, many from distant cities,
were piled high about her. The can
dles on her birthday cake—the child’s
inspiration to live during recent
weeks—were lighted.
A Philadelphia heart specialist be
lieved he watt bringing the greatest
gift of all—his prediction that the
child might be cured and live a
number of years.
Helen attracted nationwide atten
tion weeks ago when at the point
of death she, with her widowed moth
er, was evicted from the one-room
hovel in which she lived. Her land
lady insisted the sick girl was a
bother. Physicians said to move the
girl would cause Instant death. But
the child survived.
Since then gifts have come from
cities in every part of the United
States. Two presents of money were
received from London and one from
Paris.
S. A. Favored in Wheat Rates
Washington, Nov. 26.—Freight
rates on wheat from the producing
regions of Argentina to Liverpool are
from 3 to 11 cents a bushel less than
the combined rail and ocean rate
from wheat producing areas of the
United States to Liverpool. This dif
ference, as revealed in a study of
foreign and domestic rates on wheat
made public today by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, is attributed pri
marily to the proximity of the Argen
tine producing regions to the sea
board, which offsets relatively higher
ocean rotes, handling charges and
other coat* involved in shipping
American wheat to the British port.

Stories
By THORNTON W. GURGE88.
Surprises give to life He seal.
But glad eurprlaea are the beat.
—Jenny Wren.
A Most Surprising Surprise.
Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse,
sitting in their cage in the great man
bird which had been at rest all
night, listened to a familiar, scolding
volse and knew not what to make
of it. It seemed to them they must
be dreaming. It certainly sounded
like the voice of Jennie Wren, but
Jenny had been gone a long time
from her summer home, so of course
they must be mistaken.
At last they heard the flit of small
wings, and a small, brown person
with snapping, bright eyes and an
impudent cock to her tall alighted on
the edge of the manhlrd.
"Jenny Wren!” squeaked Danny
Meadow Mouse.
"Jenny Wren!" squeaked Nanny.
"Certainly! Of course! Tut, tut,
tut, tut! Of course! Who else should
! it be?” retorted the small person In
brown, as she looked down to see
where those squeaky voices had come
from.
Then Jenny Wren spied Danny and
Nanny Meadow Mouse, and her sur
prise was so great that she almost
fell from her perch on the edge of
the great man bird. She blinked
several times, and the look on her
face was so funny that Danny and
Nanny chuckled. They couldn't help
it. Then Jenny found her voice.
"Tut, tut, tut, tut! It Is Danny
and Nanny Meadow Mouse, as I live!”
she exclaimed.
"Certainly. Of course. Who else
should It be?” replied Danny ■with a
chuckle.
“It certainly shouldn't be you.” re
torted Jenny rather sharply. "Why
aren't you at home on the Green
Meadows?”
"Because we are here.” replied
Danny, chuckling again. "Why aren't
you down in the Sunny South where
you started for? ’
"Because I am taking the Journey
easily." replied Jenny. "I am pretty
well down there already, and there
Is no hurry."
"Wha—what's that?” Interrupt*
Dannv. "What sort of foolishness at*
you talking. Jenny Wren?”
Jenny's bright little eves snapped.
"I'm not talking foolishness, Danny
Meadow Mouse. Don't you dare say

New York. Nov. 2C—Financial sup
port for the trades unions of Ger
many was decided tt|»on at a *on?* i-|i

Mr. Gompers said the proposal to
