Impossible for France to
I Blockade Germany From
Land by Closing Frontier,
As Food Comes Overseas.
By FLOYD GIBBONS.
vr York Tlmra-rhirasjo Tribune Cable,
Copyright, 1920.
Faris, April 22. When an event
of enormous future consequence is
consummated in European diplo
macy its reflection may be found in
the European press,--not by what is
published but by what is left unpub
lished. For instance, half way down
an obscure column on the back page
of Wednesday's issue of the French
emi-official organ, Le Temps, there
appears the following:
'"The step proposed by the Brit
ish government of warning Ger
many of the consequences which
the establishment of a government
hostile to execution of the Versailles
past would have for the German
food supply was communicated to
the German government."
Beneath appears the following ed
itorial postscript; ,
"The exact terms of this note,
which appears to have been drafted
,in Berlin front the terms of the pro
posals, made to the allies by the
British government, was not yet
known in Paris this forenoon."
Has Deep Meaning.
To a casual American newspaper
reader, the above would , convey lit
tle significance, but to European
minds, trained in the intricacies of
the foreign office dealings, the 'addled
lines are full of meaning. , .
First, the editorial postscript .de
claring the contents were unknown
in Faris means the allied action did
not take place at the Qua d'Orsay
in the French capital, but at San
Kemo, from which place the in
structions as to its presentation were
forwarded to the British, French and
Italian charges d'affaires in Berlin.
A European fan in diplomatic af
faires remarks: . '
V'Xow, I remember that the peace
treaty mentioned the application of
economic pressure as the means by
which Germany could be forced to
fulfill the treaty.
"This latest note goes a step
further by declaring this menace to
Germany's food supply can be ap
plied not only upon violation of the
treaty by Germany, but before any
such violation namely, upon Ger
many's establishment of any form
of government that seems hostile to
execution of the treaty.
"This means economic pressure
will be applied against Germany the
minute Germany establishes any
government unsatisfactory to tthe
allies or at any time Germany's
ffovcrnment is unsatisfactory to the
allies.
Pressure Means Blockade.
"Now what would be the form of
such economic pressure? Only one
thing, of course a blockade against
Germany. Let me see; there is some
thing about that subject in one of
the long-forgotten Wilsonian notes
on freedom 'qf the seas.
"But who will decide whether the

government Germany establishes is
satisfactory?"
"Why,- the powers who will be
able to apply the economic pres
sure." "What powers can apply economic
pressure?"
"The ones that can blockade Ger
many.". "And that one is England."
"But France can blockade Ger
many from land by closjng , her
frontier.
"No, because Germany's food does
not come from , France,St comes
overseas." i ' "
"But France can extend her zone
of occupation into Germany thereby
enforcing fulfillment of the treaty.
"But England publicly has ex
pressed disapproval of the extension
of the French occupied zone. So in
the end it simply means England,
with thry power of her fleet and the
authority of her latest note, will
hold the sole enforcing power of the
Versailles treaty. In other words
England will be the gendarme of
Europe."
Expect United States -To
Keep Hands Off In
: Latest Mexican Revolt
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bet Leased Wire.
Washington, April 21. The State
department here so. far as can be
learned, is keeping hands strictly
off the growing revolt in Mexico
against the Carranza government.
Absolutely nothing concerning
the revolt in Sonora and other
states which, it" was reported un
officially today, is growing daily,
has been announced from the State
department, where, it was' stated,
no advices have been received with
in 24 hours.
The prevalent opinion is that the
Unjtcd, States will continue to keep
hands off for the present at least,
and let the internal affairs of Mexi
co ' take their own course regard
less of consequences to Carranza,
who has not endeared himself to
the administration .here despite the
Wilson policy of tolerance toward
him for many years.
Suitor,. 71 Years Old,
Shoots Woman Because
She Refuses to Wed Him
Des Moines, la., April 22. (Spe
cial Telegram.) T. A. Fawcett, 71
years old, today shot and probably
fatally wounded Mrs. Oliver Eves,
35 years old. at her home in Cedar
Rapids. He then shot himself
through the head, dying instantly.
For the last four years Fawcett has
been a constant visitor at the Eves
home. He was a plaster contractor
and was said to be wealthy. Mrs.
Eves has two sons, 15 and 14 years
old. Fawett left a 14-page letter
upbraiding Mrs. Eves for refusing to
marry him.

Expect Whisky to Go
Beyond Reach of Any
1 Ordinary Human Soon
CbirafO Tribune-Omaha Bee Leaned Wire.
Chicago, April 22. According to
prohibition enforcement . officers,
whisky is on its way to join the
dodo. The government figures show
but 60,000,000 gallons now within the
United States. Before the prohibi
tion act became effective,' the nor
mal consumption was 100,000,000
gallons 'a -year. . ' '
Real whisky will very soon be be
yond the reach of all but brick
layers, plumbers, janitors and other
immensely wealthy persons.- Begin
ning May .15, physicians will be per
mitted only 100 prescriptions every
three months. These will be worth
$10 a prescription.
"Doctors" and "druggists" who
now deal in liquor prescriptions
only, will speedily be weeded out
and the business will be narrowed
down to legitimate uses. The pro
hibition officials have in their pos
session a blacklist of those "doc
tors," more than 200 in number.
They will be unable to get any pre
scriptions for liquor filled. Whole-'
salers and warehouse men have also
been given strict warning that the
government will not tolerate any
more "thefts" of liquor from stor
age. Belgium Will Seek

Emil Franqui, director of the So
cictie General.e.

loan by the American syndicate
with which Belgium contracted for
a 9i per cent loan under the obli
gation that she would contract no
other loan in the United States
without the intervention of this syndicate.

Judge on Lever Food Act

Tutle that section four of the Lever
act-is unconstitutional probably will
be appealed to the federal court of

federal fair price committee from
fixing prices. The committee had

Dutch Twins Want Skates.; .
One morning, when Kit and Kat
ran out early to feet their ducklings,
the frost nipped their noses and ears.
' "It's getting colder every day.
Very soon winter will come," Kat
said.
. They ran down to the canal. The
old goo6e and the gander and the
goslings now half grown were
standing on the bank, looking un
happy; there was a thin sheet of ice
all over the canal, and they could
not go swimming.
Kit took a stick and broke the ice.
Thin sheets of , it, like1 pieces of
broken glass, were soon floating
about; and the old goose, the gan
der and all the goslings went down
the bank in a procession into the
water.
They swam about among the
pieces of ice for a while, but it was
so cold that they soon came up on
the bank and wiggled their tails to
shake out the water. Then they
all sat down in the sun to get their
feet warm.
Kit and Kat ran up and down the
road and played tag untli their
cheeks were red and they were
warm as toast. Then they ran into,
Vrouw Vedder's warm kitchen.
The kettle was singing on the fire,
and there was a smell of coffee in
the air. Vrouw Vedder gave the
Twins some in a large cup. She put
in a good deal of milk and gave them
each a piece of sugar to sweeten it
wtih.
"Is it Sunday?" asked Kat. On
Sundays they sometimes had coffee.
On other days they had milk.
"No." said Vrouw Vedder; "but it
is cold, and I thought a cup of coffeei
would warm us all up."
While they were drinking their
coffee, Kit and Kat talked about the
ice, and what fun they would pave
with their sleds on the canals when
winter came.
"I tell you what it is, Kat," said
Kit; "I think we're big enough to
have skates. Hans Hite isn't much
bigger than I am, and he had skates
last winter. I' mean to ask father,
this verv day."
"Yah," said Kat that is the way

Vrouw Vedder was heating water
and getting out her scrubbing
brushes, so Kit and Kat knew that
she was going to clean something.
"What are you going to scrub to
day, mother?" asked Kit.
"I'm going to scrub the stable,"
said Vrouw Vedder. "It is getting
too cold for the cows to stay all
night in the pastures. Father means
to bring Mevrouw Holstein in to
night, and I want her Stable to be
nice and clean for her."
"We'll help, you," said Kit and
Kat very politely. .
. "Good- children P; their: mother
said. "You may carry the brushes."
So they opened a door beside the
fireplace and walked right into the

WHY?-
Does a Magnet Lift Things?
(Copyright, 19:0. by The Wheeler
Syndicate, Inc.) .
The exact principle which
causes a magnet to take bold of
metals and cling to them with a
force which overcomes the prin
ciple of gravity is, like electricity,
one of the unsolved mysteries of
nature. We merely know that a
piece of iron which has been
electrically treated will attract
and hold various other metals.
The force which it exerts we call
"magnetism" and let it go at
that just as we speak of "elec
tricity," "personality," and "ra
dio activity," all of which are
forces which puzzle science and,
up to this time, have, defied a
clear explanation. The most logi
cal explanation would appear to
be that an electrically-treated
piece of iron gives off a force,
analogous to that given off by a
piece of radium in that it will af
fect other pieces of metal without
materially loosening its own
power.
The name magnet is derived
from the mineral "magnetite" and
this, in turn, is so called because
it was first discovered in Mag
nesia. Magnetite is a natural
magnet, of which the loadstone
is one of the best-known varie
ties. Tomorrow's Question Why

I'M THE GUY!
By R. H. ALLIE. y
I'M THE GUY, the street car
conductor, who whistles unceas
ingly, a bar of some ancient song
like "Red Wing."
Why shouldn't I?
I'm doing the whistling. I like
that bar. I'm enjoying myself.
I can't help it if you don't like it,
if it gets monotonous, if it gets on
your nerves.
Besides what difference is that to
me? I'm trying to keep cheerful. I
feel like whistling. , I like that tune.
I'm not aiming to please you.
Anyway why shouldn't I whistle
that or anything else? And what's
the harm, if it's but one bar and that
of some ancient song? I think it is
as good as a new one.
At that, you're only the passenger.
I'm not trying to entertain you. Nor
are you expected to listen. You're
only paying for a ride.
If you don't like it, that's your
worry, not mine. Don't listen or tell
me you don't like it. Move away
where you can't hear it, or take an
other car.
That's how I feci about it.
