^ Today Our Prison for Life. If Monkeys Used Lire. . Hare Horses and Radio. Insult i ng Midi am med. By ARTHUR BRISBANE v--' H. Cl. Wells, for the time being stops writing weekly articles. Too much of a strain, he sayk, to write an article every week. He ought to try writing three every day. Wells’ farewell article asks, “how can we escape Irom the prison of modern life?” He tells how he made a little prison of paper, when he was a boy, but 'n a beetle, and heard the poor creature hutting its head against the sides. Wells doesn’t like things us he finds them. “I am against the clothes we wear, the food we eat, the houses we live in, the schools (we have, our amusements, money, trading.” He is even against the British empire and the American constitution. The answer to Wells’ question is: t’You can’t escape from the prison of modern life.” , A turtle might as well discuss, “how can I escape from my shell?” Being what we are we have this kind of “modern life.” When we change our civilization our “prison of modern life” will change with it. We are changing, but Mr. Wells c is in a hurry and perhaps doesn’t ■ —’ notice it. He might l*e comforted by Rafael Sabatini, also a philosophi cal novelist, who says: "A $25 stenographer today is better off than a seventeenth cen tury queen.” So she is. The queen had more dresses, but no bathtub. The $25 stenographer has a bathtub and uses it. Lloyd George warns the world “China is wakening,” and its knowl edge of flying machines, explo sives, poison gas and their possi bilities is a danger to the world's civilization. It will be bad for the world when the Chinese discover that, instead of dropping girl babies into the riyer to keep down population, they could drop bombs on western peo ples and take their land. Lloyd George says: “The Chinese took thousands of years to ascend to philosophic se renity; it has not taken them long to descend to the level of ‘superior races,’ whose highest court of ap peal is abided over by death.” Human beings rule the world ami find it worth living on, be cause, with all their intelligence, monkeys never learned to make a fire or keep one going. Scientists tell you that if monkeys had under stood control of fire they would have burned off all the forests, ages before man arrived. Chinese, learning the use of TNT and poison gas, may be worse for our civiliza tion than fire-using monkeys would have been to the world in general. ^ * Colonel Green, son of the late well known, very rich Hetty Green of New York, is spending his great fortune on investigation of radio possibilities, building laboratories, making experiments with the help of experienced scientists. That’s better than spending your inherited money to build up a rac ing stable, and bringing up your own children to be a little more worthless than you yourself are. Mustapha Kemal, new boss of the Turks, offers to his celestial boss, Mohammed, the last final deadly insult. Having uncovered the faces of women, and allowed his wife to appear in riding breeches, after depriving Mohammed’s Caliph of tcpiporal and religious power, Mustapha Kemal is now raising money to build a huge statue to himself. The Mohammedan religion ab solutely forbids any kind of grUven image of a human being. When the Turks captured Constan tinople, and changed the magnifi cent church of St. Sophia into a mosque, they took away all the statues of saints and covered up all the sacred pictures on the walls. Mr. Borglum, who will probably m.|ke the statue, ought to show Mustapha Kemal with n crowbar, ’ opening the doors of the harem, nitel saying “come on out.” Georges Clemenceau celebrated hig 83d birthday yesterday in his little house on the French coast, P^X looking out on the wild waters where ancient Basques used to cajeh whales. "Clemenceau's health is good, be cause he is wise. A fighter all his lift", he avoids all controversy now. Anger poisons men always, and in oil age it kills them. *Picking a rose in his garden, he 4d, “I like flowers; they have an /antage over men, they are -i fruit.” "Typhus is raging in Leningrad, formerly St. Petersburg, 100 new ;*es a day, and they usually die. ;This, added to the recent flood, diacouruges the Russians. The flood they cannot help, nature spnt that. Tfphus, however, could be prevent ed by cleanliness. } '(Copyright, n?4 > IRISH REPUBLIC TALK IS MADE A vivid description of the develop, ment of h slnble government In Ire land was given Sunday by L, J.
