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.
W’hatever else they may he, the
lurks are a courageous people.

Woodrow Wilson Extremely Shy;
Virtues, Faults Laid to Ancestry;
Loathed Presidency’s “Glass House”
By C HARLES L. SWEM.
( (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.

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. Anybody wishing
to prove the value of the formula can
get a full slfce, two dollar treatment of

The reply of Chancellor of the Ex
chequer Churchill In m. Clemente)
Btarts by saying explicitly tlint "his
majesty's government adheres to the
principle of the Balfour note." 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."

today. He introduced himseH to any
one who appeared to be a sympathetic
listener and said he was the father
of the "hoy in the cave.” Yesterday
his casual conversations always
ended with the old man handing the
visitors a circular advertising Crystal

years ago. Today the supply of clr
culars had been exhausted. His hope
for his son s rescue alive was still
strong.
Shaft Down 2? Feet.
By Associated Tress.
Cave City. Kv.. 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.

the Sun theater this week, is a story
of the race track with the climax
centering on the results of a big race.
Reginald Barker, director of the
production actually took his company
to IjUonia, Ky., where the racing
scenes were made, hence the picture
is original in not offering a lot of
the usual hokum found in racing pic
tures.
It contains a wealth of humor, and
although the outcome is obvious, it
[provides a good hour’s entertainment.
Krank Keenan in the role of a Ken
