Today The If or Id. Didn't End. ^ Fleischmann a Warning. • Those Dull Masses. Mr. Rockefeller dives. By ARTHUR BRISBANE. V_ . As this is written, poor deluded, superstitious creatures in Califor nia and on Long Island are strain ing their eyes toward the sky, wait ing for a flash to let them know that the end of the world is coming and that they, little miserable worms, have been chosen by the Al mighty, from all beings on earth, to be saved and carried up in a cloud. The scientists tell you that the world will not end for several hun dred millions of years, barring a cataclysm of interstellar space. And the sun is good for several hundred ^ million years more. When the end does come, the difference between the average inhabitant of this earth, mentallv, and Long Island's “prophet of doom,” will be con siderably greater than the diffeK once between the “prophet of doom,” and a cockroach. It might surprise the prophet if he could realize how many of those other planets there are and to what extent the saints dwelling on them differ in outward appearance. A Reformed Seventh Day Ad ventist saint from the planet Mars, or from one of the planets that circle around the giant Aldebaran, would be worth seeing. Julius Fleischmann, dead on the polo field at Miami, is another w'aming to men past 45. After that age, especially for those whose lives have been sedentary, the spirit is willing, but the heart is weak. Theodore Roosevelt, like Julius Fleischmann, died unnecessarily. His rugged mind and will outlasted his physical strength. When he should have been building up blood quality and resting his heart, he went training with a retired prize fighter, running long distance along hot roads in heavy sweaters. That was a direct invitation to the death which soon came. The blood, weakened, could not resist germ at tack. Prof. Wiggati, a biologist, is worried because, says he, the race of college men is rapidly dying out. They have few babies. That’s go ing to destroy the mental quality of the country. The gentleman says “college graduates furnish nine out of every 10 leaders in all branches. The masses never produce anything, create or discover or invent any thing worth while. These are all the products of separate unique minds.” That’s interesting, especially to Thomas A. Edison, who never went to college. It would interest Abra ham Lincoln also. He didn’t go to college either. As. to national loss, due to the /act that college men have few children, the answer is that a man ** treking the energy to have children Ln’t any great loss to a country. John D. Rockefeller, jr., gives f 500,000 to help build a great Protestant Episcopal cathedral of New York, despite the fact that he isn’t a Protestant Episcopalian. In the old days of bitter religious hatreds, a rich, powerful man might have contributed to help burn the church of another faith. He\ wouldn’t have given money to it. In the old days men contributed to a church feeling that they were actually giving the money to God Himself, preparing a house for him here on earth. Now men give through civic pride, quite a change. The honorable Toychio Kagawa says Japan-wants only peace and isn’t thinking about war at all. To prove it he shows that Japan has reduced its army. That doesn’t prove a desire for peace. It only proves Japanese intelligence. They know that in future wars, especially wars across the Pacific, armies will play no part. A thousand fliers, with the right kind of poison gas and bombs, will make the biggest army that ever existed ridiculous. 1 To know Japanese feeling, go visit its 17 airplane factories, work 1 ing day and night, turning out 500 fighting planes each month. The Turkish nation expels the Greek patriarch and Greece sug gests that the league of nations set tle the question. Turkey answers ; with good Turkish common spiisc, “let the league of nations keep its hands off. This is an internal mat 1 ter, affecting the inside affairs of j Turkey, and that’s my business.” When a Japanese and a Czecho slovakian gentleman wanted the league of nations to pass on the right of the United States to keep out Asiatic immigration, this nation ; did not reply to that suggestion with such emphasis as the Turks now use.

( (influential tfcrH«r.v nnil nt^iHurnplipr t» Woodrnu Wilson during Ills eight )egr* in the White House. (Copyright, 1925. Reproduction In any form prohibited). CHAPTER IT. Mr. Wilson’s birth and ancestry will account for many of his dominating traits, both his virtues and his faults. On bis father's side he was Scotch, on his mother's Scotch Irish, making the preponderance of blood In bis \eins the blood of the Covenanters, of that race with whom the world lias come to associate the words "canny, bard and honest." Jle was undeniably Scotch In thought and habit, yet the blood was much diluted. The quarter of Irish stock in him had a leavening in flu ence far in excess of its ancestral importance. The hard, impersonal traits of the Scot were tempered to such an extent by the warm, genial l^eod of the Celts as at times almost to eclipse the strain of the former* His keen love of humor was much in evidence at all times, but the in tense seriousness of his mind found more compatible expression in the sterner mood of the Scot, and this was the one in which lie was most oft'en seen. The other and more human side of him was almost en tirely reserved for the companionship of his friends and intimates. Wilson Always Shy. What was not generally realized was that Mr. Wilson suffered from an innate shyness. An early friend of the Wilson family has testified that he was a shy, retiring boy, given to books. What was taken for indiffer ence in later years, and frequently for aloofness, was this childhood trait that he never succeeded in overcom ing. Although congenial enough in a friendly circle, crowds and strangers were like an icy draft to him. He disliked to meet new people socially, where his invariable courtesy obli gated him to be entertaining; he felt that he w'as on exhibition and that offended his sense of dignity. During his first campaign, and to a great extent throughout every rail road trip that he made, the back plat form of his private car, where by tra dition he was supposed to be Irhe hail fellow-well met, was a particular aver sion. Obviously ill at ease, be would glance over the crowd that surrounded his car. wave bis band and pass an innocuous comment upon the weather or the size of the gathering. Where another would have brought the crowd to its toes with n political talk about anything fn general hut his hearers and himself in particular, Air. Wilson was silent. Usually, after an embarrassing pause, he would lean diffidently over the rail and shake hands with those nearest to him. This served as a dig nified substitute to a back platform speech which be could rarely tiring himself to make. The standing order was to get the train in motion ns soon as possible, in order to relievo the president from the embarrassment of a speech from the back platform. Ib1 declared be had not the "face" to talk simply for the purpose of talking or securing votes. iiuard System Annoyed. The secret service protection ac corded the president of the United States is an appalling ordeal for a naturally diffident man to face, and Mr. Wilson nsver thoroughly arcus tomed himself to if. Tf walking, a secret set vice man would walk beside him, while two or more followed. Wherever lie went, he protested, he was the head of a parade. He was unusually fond of walking, hut after an experience or two of this sort, rather than appear s.» conspicuously in public he gave tr walking. When the presld•• ’t rides, it is cus tomary for a secret service man to occupy the front scat of his car, while another automobile tilled with oper atives brings up tin* rear. In addi tion t«» this, at the beginning of his first administration and later during the period of the war, wherever he went by automobile lie was accom panied by two bicycle policemen trail ing on either side of tlie car. For years this custom was a con slant source of irritation to him and I have heard him bemoan the fact that he “could not go anywhere like a normal man but must he minded and watched like a delicate piece of China in danger of cracking.’’ He dreaded a public function as he dreaded nothing else. He cheerfully acceded to Mrs. Wilson’s wish to abol ish the inaugural ball. He called off thf New York reception and later, during the war, all social functions at the White House entirely. Where Mr. Roosevelt, and Mr. Taft particu larly, before him had accepted nil merous dinner Invitations, he accepted comparatively few—and those only wlien he desired an occasion to an nounce a policy or to create an influ ence iqVn some pending question. Famous “May I Not.” Even in his diction an innate dim deuce was noticeable. His excessive use of the phrase “may T not” was not accidental: it was an Inevitable outcropping of his unusual sense of modesty. His wealth of words is be yond question, but he employed this phrase to the point of monotony. Once Mrs. Ellen Wilson asked him to dictate a special message of greet ing for her. He began, “May I not convey “But.” she protested, “you are only! asking permission to convey.” He smiled good-naturedly at the! criticism which wait then being made! by others. “Rut it is had taste to assume too |much—even though that is your privi lege,” he explained. It was undoubtedly this inborn sense of dignity that retarded the de velopment of his human qualities. They could not he. and were not, a I ways repressed, hut they lacked exer cise. Had Mr. Wilson possessed the experience with men or the common touch of President Roosevelt, or the jovial good nature of President Taft at the supper board, it is doubtful if in sll our history of presidents and public men a man would have been more dearly beloved than h#. It was diffidence and not indiffer ence that kept him from mingling with his fellows, as did Presi Roosevelt, pounding one on tlie b. k and familiarly asking another about the youngsters at home; and an In valid stomach and a natural distaste for the small talk of the banquet table prevented him from enjoying the pleasures of the personal popularity of Mr. Taft. Yet, that he had the small talk for the occasion those who at rare intervals saw him in the fam ily circle or in a company of kindyed spirits will heqr witness. He had all the essentials of popularity even the love of it—but not the disposition. To he runtimed tomorrow.

The Gland That Causes Men To Get Up at Night The gland that causes getting up at night is known ns the prostate and is a notorious trouble maker. It is estimated that 65 out of every 103 men past. 40, and many under that age, have prostate trouble, which, if unchecked, often lends to a serious op eration. The prostate surround* the neck of the bladder like a. washer. Naturally, when the Madder becomes inflamed by poisons which the kid neys filter out of the blood the irrita lion spreads to the prostate. As the gland swells it closes the neck of the bladder, making urination difficult and painful and causing pains In the back, bead and legs. Ail easy way to treat these annoy mg and dahgerous conditions is to take one or two renex pills after each meal. The renex formula has been victorious In thousands of such cases. »»ne authority says It also has a valu able tcilia* effect.

Then, explaining - that certain of former Premier Bonnr Daw's suggestions in connection therewith no longer are applicable because they were made prior to the Dawes plan, the note proceeds: "The principle of (he Balfour note is that Great Britain should receive from Europe payments equhalent to those she is under obligation to make to the United States. His majesty's government cannot accept the posi tions in which this principle could only lie achieved upon the basis of a full normal yield of the Dawes annu ities or by taking at their face value debts which cannot b* at present treated as good assets. "His majesty's government already liaie consented not merely to reduce their claims against our allies to an amount necessary to cower their own payments in respect to the British war debt to-'the United States, hut actually to apply the whole of the British share of German reparations to that purpose. Pause Common One. "This means that Great Britain not only takes to her own charge the whole oT her own war damages hut also the 800.000,000 pounds of foreign securities devoted by her to the gen eral effort hefore the United States entered the war. "In the application of the Balfour note to the existing situation, Ms majesty's government, remembering (hat war debts between the allies had been incurred in a common cause, have been prepared to consider pro posals under which the French debt to Great Britain would he reduced, provided that the principle of definite payment by France from her own na tional resources, fixed with due re gard to her relative wealth and tax paying capacity. Is assured without reference to reparations." The note then suggests that It might he found convenient that French payments should he divided into, first, fixed annual amounts pay able by France, Irrespective of actual receipts from the Dawes annuities In a partleotar year, and aecond a fur ther annual charge on the French share in the Dawes annuities. Dans for Surplus. "It would, of course, he under stood," says the note in conclusion, "first, that all counter claim* by France against Great Gritain would he superseded, and secondly, that If and when paymenta derived hy Great Britain from European war debts and reparations were sufficient to pro vide for a full discharge of British obligations. Including payments si ready made, any surplus would he used to diminish the burden resting upon Great Britain s alllew. "His majesty's government enter tains the hope that, if the French government wej-e prepared to make proposals on the lines her# suggested a settlement satisfactory to both countries might be reached."

Keb. a.—All the glamor and adventure of the struggle to determine Floyd Collins' fate in his sand cave prison had *’ day under the monotonous work >f digging the shaft to reach the en tomlted man. At 11 a. nt. by actual measurement a depth of 22 feet 11 inches had been touched. On that basis the mine had gone down only one foot every three hours since it started three days ago. More time is required for timbering the sides than for excavation and ab sence of skilled cribmen contributes to the slowness of that work. Tim bering is slow work and for inexper ienced men is even slower. Railroad ties are now being used instead of the smaller timber previ ously cut lri the vicinity of the rescue work. T.he shaft, six feet square, necessarily hampers rapid handling of ties. Fresh men are lowered into the shaft every half hour to provide all apeed possible. A small blast of dynamite was used this afternoon to dislodge a huge boulder. Check Shaft Survey. A third test to determine tits accu racy of the location of the shaft was made today by means of an electro magnetic compass and the pneumatic drill. The compass was taken into Sand rave as far aa it Is possible to go and the drill was lowered into its 60-foot hole which preceded the shaft. Dr. TV. D. Funkhoueer, geologiat from the Fnlverslty of Kentucky, an nounced the original survey was near ly exact. The electro magnetic com pass pointed toward the drill in the same direction previous calculations had placed it. These latest observations. Dr. Funkhouser said. Indicated the sliaft would reach the victim’s level in or 11 feet sway from hint and slightly behind or to one side of him. An unknown number of feet re main to be penetrated by the shaft, however, variously estimated to be from 33 to 45 feet more, making a total depth of 65 to 75 feet. The drill hole, now 60 feet deep, has not yet struck any tunnel, although it is only went down at the side of the shaft. Budd Disc Wheels' Sold hy P.
