T oday A Blow at the League. Rats, Vitamins, New En gine. New War Cloud. Big Chief in Chureh. By ARTHUR BRISBANE. V.____/ Great excitment in Europe about the Egyptian crisis. Egypt’s gov ernment promptly pays $2,500,000 for the killing of Stack, the British sirdar. Next comes the driving of Egyptian forces out of the Sudan. Egypt declines to approve that, but the British will drive them out any how. French newspapers see a “blow I at the league” in British use of the heavy fist in Egypt. You will notice that those poor gentlemen along the Nile are not invited into any ' * “world court” to v get a hearing. They are told “pay us the money, and get out of the Sudan, or it will be the worse for you.” European papers express fear that England is establishing in Egypt another “Ireland,” another cause of trouble and fighting with out end. You can’t have “another r Ireland” without also having anoth er complete set of Irishmen. Egypt hasn't got them. It’s the , Irishmen, not Ireland, that did the | fighting for 700 years against Eng land. The poor Egyptians are so used to being conquered, so used to having their native dignitaries run over them and through them, scat j; tering crowds right and left, that there isn’t very much fight left in them. You can’t make a rope of sand. American manufacturers of ex plosive engines should look care fully into the new French gas tur bine, said to combine the ad vantages of the explosive gas motor and of the steam turbine. Experiments at Columbia college n «how that tuberculosis is due large ]. ly to lack of vitmins in food. Rats, deprived partially of the “vitamin jjf A” or milk fat, grew to fair size, i But they lacked the vigor to rear a second generation of young rats. it They also showed great susceptibil ’ ity to disease, particularly to break « down and premature death, due to 1 lung trouble. One group of rats with a large j? allowance of “vitamin A” in" the p food lived twice as long as those i deprived of the full allowance. When we thoroughly understand vitamins, and the mysterious 1 endocrines, ductless glands, we l shall be on the way toward living I 150 years. That will emphasize many problem*, including birth con trol. Albert Sarraut, formerly French minister of the colonies and gov ernor general of indo-China, sees a war cloud forming in Asia. “No one can think without misgwings,” he says, “of the preparations Japan is making to* head an Asiatic bloc against the European bloc.’’ He thinks there may come a fight between Japan and the United States “far more terrible in effect on the world than the war of 1914.’’ No such conflict will come unless Japan wills it and insists upon it. And, no matter how much Japan might desire it, no such war would come if this nation and its govern ment had brains enough to put through a program of thorough preparation, Japan has 17 factories turning out flying machines night and day. And she isn’t building those ma chines merely to take the mikado’s grandchildren for a little ride through the clouds. This country is making futile ex periments with a couple of gas bags imported from Europe and we call that preparation. Whatever we get from Asia we shall deserve it, if we don’t spend a few of our dollars to make this country safe with flying machines and submarines. Fortunately, however, in the long run, intelligence wins wars, and everything else. And, without excessive vanity, the white races may say that they have a fair per centage of the world’s intelligence on their side—although this coun try, just now, does not show much of it. In old days we sent Christianity to the savage redskin. Now, in Dr. Guthrie’s Episcopal church in New York, red Indian chiefs are brought in to help along Christianity. Last Sunday “invocations” were offered to the gods of the Indians, whatever and whoever they may be. Big Chief Os-Ke-Non-Ton, which means “Running Deer,” wearing his feather bonnet, “hailed the ele ments” in his native language. There was another chief there, with another strange name, and a good time was had by all. The Christian church is said to need arousing. Perhaps the red men doing the corn dance, before the altar, an efficient whirling dervish, or a Thibetan prayer mill might help. Jean Jaures, French socialist, one of the ablest men in France, real ized in 1914 what war would mean, and worked to stop it. He was mur dered. denounced as a traitor. Now his ashes are buried with honor in the Pantheon with the great men of France. So much for today, no 0 1 l •ft I ;'t | i n I ft I! ntHouno nni iuu SHOULD BUY AT THE !

They buried Voltaire’s dust in the Pantheon also, during the success ful years of the revolution that his writings created. But when the kings came back they took the Vol taire ashes out of the Pantheon and scattered them to the winds. That may happen to Jaures. The Rev. W. B. Murray, head of Kenwood’s New Thought church in Chicago, says people do get mar ried in heaven. If they are not married on earth, they are married up above. But up there they have no children. That’s good news for birth control advocates, although an angel baby, with tiny featherless pink wings, feebly fluttering and gradually learning to fly, would be charming.
