Europe's Hatred.
That World Court.
^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^
When you discuss the world
court, to be located in Europe of
course, with the United States one
of the many nations included, bear
this in mind:
Such a court would amoiint to
nothing or it would have power to
nettle questions affecting the Unit
ed States. We should submit to a
court outside of the United States,
in which the United States would
be a ridiculously small minority.
Is there any feason why judges
appointed by France, Italy, Eng
land, Japan, China, etc., should
pass on vital questions affecting
the United States?
If this nation could decide ques
tions in its own courts more than
140 years ago when its total popu
lation was about half that of New
York city today, why can’t the
United States rely on its own
courts and settle its own questions
here in America now?
Our rebellion against England
was based upon the fact that mat
ters affecting the United States,
including taxes, were settled far
away in England.
Is there any good reason for go
ing back to a world court, allow
ing questions affecting this coun
try to be settled beyond the ocean,
by representatives of nations that
notoriously and bitterly hate this
country?
Is there any reason why we
should change our form of govern
ment, successful thus ffcr, because
nations in Europe cannot keep
from cutting each other’s throats
and robbing each other?
That’s the real world court ques
tion.
We can know nothing about the
future of Europe, but we can, if
we have sufficient common sense,
attend to the present needs of
this country.
There is trouble in Mexico,
south of us, and we are very apt
to be mixed up in that before long,
whether we will or not. That can't
be helped. This is on our side of
the ocean.
_ t
Experiments by the navy at
Panama show that an attacking
fleet could have defeated ours with
a little luck and good management,
and that Panama is not sufficient
ly protected. That needs attend
ing to, and the United States
should attend to it, leaving Europe
to attend to its problems.
We have here 110,000,000 of
people, endeavoring to establish a
free civilization in a free land.
We should have the equipment
that will keep out interference
from Europe and Asia. We need
wise legislation to avoid trouble
among our own people.
That is a big enough job, with
out wandering around the world
n Don Quixote fashion, seeking
to attend to the business of others.
Sympathy is a beautiful thing,
brotherhood is a beautiful thing.
We ought to sympathize with Eu
rope and have a brotherly feeling,
of course.
But Europe doesn’t want our
sympathy or brotherly feeling.
Europe wants our money now, and
our men later in case it needs
' them.
We let it have 10,000,000,000
of dollars not long ago, and sent
over 3,000,000 men. That ought
to be enough for the present.
The first little incident follow
ing our entrance into the league
of nations or into a world court—
which is about the same thing—
would be the assigning to us of
obligations that our people would
refuse to assume, then would fol
low a cancellation of the debt, and
very likely a decision by the world '
court creating a debt on our part
to Europe.
I he nations of r-urope hate, tnis
country and despise it. Their
newspapers and their public men
■ prove it every day.
If the United States were rep
resented on the world court in Eu
rope the other members of that
court would feel and would sin
cerely believe that the United
States is really in debt to Europe
for having in some mysterious way
“saved the United States."
An overwhelming majority of
that court would be hostile to the
United States; its members would
unite on just one thing, to make
the United States pay if possible.
You would not put your own in
dividual affairs at the mercy of a
court, if you could help it, if you
knew that the court by an over
whelming majority would be hos-.
tile to you in advance.
Why do you plan to put the af.
fairs of your nation where you
would not put your own?
Prof. Flamm of Berlin, who
ever since the war began has led
in new ideas for submarine con
struction, announces a new sub
marine “which shall be 626 feet
long, 49 feet wide, 32 feet deep,
a submarine cruiser of 7,067
tons."
The French already have 3,000
ton submarines. All the important
nations of Europe surpass us in
flying machine equipment.
It wouldn’t be pleasant to have
a dozen of these 7,000-ton sub
marines, carrying guns, bob above
the surface of the water in the
harbor of New York or San Fran
cisco, with a flock of TNT and
poison gas carrying machines fly
ing along with them through the
air.
War isn't ended on this earth.
It is going to settle problems that
mushy sentimentalists talk about
settling, with a preposterous Bok
peace plan.
Education, not good wishes, will
bring peace.
In -the meantime, the husiness
of this country is not to go wan
dering around Europe, but to be
in a position to enforce peace in
aida of our territory.

With Detectives
Paul Haze Falls Wounded at
Gibson, Neb.—Pair Taken
When Ammunition
Gives Out.
Detective Paul Haze was shot In

Detectives' Surround House
The detectives surrounded the ,
house. Palmtag went to the door and
called to the two men inside that he
W’as a detective, and had a warrant
for their arrest.
Haze, standing on one side of the ,
house, observed one of the men
through the window.
"Look out. Fred, lie's got a gun,"
he called to Palmtag. Palmtag
stepped close to the wall of the house.
Haze ducked behind a shed about ilfi
feet from the house, end emerged
On the other side. ’
Palmtag dashed from his station by
the door, to join Haze behind the shed.
Before he reached the shed, a shot
was fired from the house.
"My God, Palmtag, I'm hit," Haze
screamed.
Emptied His Revolver
Pulmtag turned, emptied his revel- 1
ver through the window from which
the shot had been fired. Then he
raced to Haze, who was lying in the
snow, and dragged him to shelter be
hind the shed.
"Paul is hit.” he shouted to tho
other two detectives.
English, who waa on a hill west of
the house, ran over the top of the 1
rise, away, from the houee. Three
shofa were fired at him through a
window in the house. He rounded
the base of the hill through a gully
and joined Palmtag and Haze. To
gether they dragged the wounded de

a waiting automobile In which he
waa taken to 8t. Joseph hospital. He ]
was given emergency treatment by ,
Police Hurgeon Kance.
Hasn’t Been Told.
Haze does not know that bis eye
Is shot out.
"I'm all right If my eye isn't gone,”
he kept repeating at the hospital.
Palmtag, Ournett and English, with
four railroad detectives, then re
turned to the house and emptied all
their ammunition through the walls,
with the exception of two shots each,
which werp saved In the event the
two men within the house made a
break for liberty.

After they arrived, and the houJk
was surrounded, more than 200 shots
were exchanged. Every window in the
house was broken and the walla were
riddled by bullets.
Finally the shooting from within
the house ceased. Detective Frank
Killian stepped from behind the shed
kt one side of the house and called
on the two occupants to surrender.
He was answered by a fusillade of
shots from a window. Fifty more
shots were fired into the house.

insisted that the two men walk out ■
of the house with their hands In the

window, PszanowskI and Killian
sprang dose to the wall of the house,
on the side of the door. They covered
both men with their revolvers as they

Washington, Jan. -21.-— Whilo
crowds of women stormed the doors,
n senatorial Investigation ’ was
launched today into charger* that the
Bok peace was "propaganda” intend
ed to influence American participa
tion In the league of nations.
Hr Associated Press.
Washington, Jan. 21.—Edward W.
fjok, donor of the $100,000 award fot
the best world peace plan, was called
today before a seriate committee
charged with instigating propa
ganda designed to influence the ac
tion of congress and the government’s
foreign policy.
The purpose of the committee is to
determine whether there is any re
lation between the Bok award and
organizations having for their purpose
American adherence to the league of
nations.
Bok said that he personally se
lected Elihu Root to serve on the
Jury which made the award.
"I did not give my approval to the
other members," Mr. Bok said in re
ply to questions by Chairman Moses.
"I was not asked to approve them.”
He said thut "co-operative agencies”
had sent in the names of several
hundred persons as eligible to act as
jurors.
Mr. Bok said he did not know the
name of the winner of his award.
"Ho you know his characteristics?"
asked Chairman Mosgs.
"No,” said the witness.
"Couldn’t you describe him in gen
eral terms?” the chairman pursued
amid laughter from the crowd.
"No.”
Mr. Bok said he had "defrayed
every penny of the expenses of the
award.” He added that 7,000,000
copies of the prize plan had been
‘printed for distribution, but was un
ahle to say how many ballots had
been printed for the public vote on the
plan,
Asked how much money was In the
trust fund which he created to defray
expenses of the nward, he replied:
"I prefer not to discuss that.”
“You are familiar with the stat
utes?” asked the chairman.
“No. I am not."
Senator Moses then said it wae his
duty under the statute* to Inquire
whether an answer would “tend to
degrade you.”
“I decline to go Into that," was the
response.
Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri,
later pressed the same question and
Mr. Bok then said he did not think
it would "degrade him." He added
that he regarded the amount of money
in the trust fund as solely his own
business.

Familiar With Copper.
"For the first time we have been
able to learn the real character of
tho site and to recover in good con
dition some of the astonishing works
of art which It conceals," said the
report. “Up to the present, two dis
tinct parts of the site have been at
tacked, a cemetery and the building
ori which Dr. Hall worked. The graves
are probably the earliest yet found
in this country, dating from the fifth
and early fourth mellennia, B. C., and
have yielded a quantity of objects.
"The people, who were at least In
part Sumerian, were using many
stone implements, but were none the
less quite familiar with capper and
had developed great skill In hammer
ing and easting the metal; but side

"The scribes who soon after 2000
B. C. drew up a list of the kings
of Sumer and Akkad have left it on
record that the kings who reigned

seven years. 1

better, then I
broke down again.
It would be bard
for me to describe
how I was. for I was
a perfect wreck.
I suffered with
a pain in m.v left
side, then 1 woulc
have numb spoils,
ana i wouia trunk i couldn t live. I
would have hot flashes, then would
come weak spells. 1 was so weak 1
would think 1 couldn't ever pvt a
meal ready. My work was a burden
to me. I w as not able to do my
housework half of the time. A friend
advised me to take Lydia E. ITnk
hatn s Vegetable Compound, and it
has riven me strength and health.
The not flashes left mo and 1 got bet
tor of the numb spells. That summer
l could do my how*' work and worked
in the garden a good bit. I tell all
sick women what your wonderful
medicine did for me. and will atwa> s a.
recommend it. I am known to all
tuy neighbors, and you can. publish
this statement because it is true.'
