Recent orcurrentcs force the admission that there ire fundamental differences between the manner, of thought of the French and the Amer ican people. It does not suffice to dismiss this consideration by saying that French statesmen are misrepresenting., their countrymen: even though this were so it would not prove i similar ity of opinion or interests between the two races. Overseas soldiers know better than most Ameri cans that the divergence is not only in the way of living but extends throughout the whole out look on life. "A dispassionate and unbiased recognition of these constitutional differences must impose itself and lead to a better reciprocal understanding be tween the two countries," writes Dr. Henry llaxo, professor of romance languages and liter atures at the university of North Dakota. Dr. Haxo, French born and bred, has the advantage of intimate acquaintanceship with both peoples. His recent article entitled, "The Critical Atti tude of the French Mind," is most timely and helpful. .He writes: ' The Frenchman's matter-of-fact education may create in him a lack of credulity and responsiveness qualities so often found among our American boys and girls but it may also work for his own advantage later in life. He sees no greatness where there is novelty, or most likely a fad. . . . He likes to do his owi thinking independently. ... He is ruspfcious and incredulous of learninganytliing whether it be the sciences or arts and of ac quiring anything, whether it be health or edu cation in an amazingly short time and with out serious efforts on his part. . . . Alone; with this common sense are found other para mount virtues, qualities or defects; love of tradition, order, method, reason, thrift, indus try, peace and family; distrust of imagination, novelties, new ideas, uncommon ideals and fanaticism; distrust of everything, so to say, that is beyond the intellectual reach of the general or average man. A remark of Anatole France is quoted:. "Far from feeling glad when I see some time-honored fallacy exploded, I think of the new one that will come and take its place and I ask myself this anxious question will it not perhaps be more inconvenient and dangerous than the other? On full and .sufficient consideration, the old prejudices are less baneful than the new; time, by long usage, has given them a polish and made them almost harmless." . With all his misgivings, Anatole France has faith and hope in French progress, but he, like the rest, faces the realities of life. The people of France, Dr. Haxo declares, fret at imperialistic dreams and military adven tures and will find a way out of their present difficulties by exercise of moderation and com mon sense. This observer contrasts the critical French attitude -with the more hopeful, active, undoubt ing and generous American characteristics. Here is youth and its dreams, there, old age and its caution. That there is something cold, antagon istic and jarring to the "free and individualistic expansion and communicativeness of the Amer ican character," Dr. Haxo admits. The sooner these differences are appreciated and thrashed out impartially and sympathetically, the better. He is sure there need be no cause for friction or a feeling of inferiority on either side, and many on-both shores of the Atlantic will agree that a blending of the two attitudes might im prove both races. v Thawing Out a Quarrel. The criticisms now being cast at Vilhjalmur jV Stcfansson by his former companions in Arctic ' exploration bring to mind the statement of the i shipwrecked sailor who wandered in fear on a savage coast until he heard men swearing, where upon he rejoiced, saying that he had fallen among Giristians. There was none of this squabbling on the polar ice, and it is eight years sftcr the return to civilization that the quarrel is loosed. Perhaps Stefansson has been making some .' rather tall statements in his lectures. His claim that he was able to subsist on 'the country' and not depend on supplies brought in from outside is a target for suspicion. Yet this is no more than the Eskimos' succeed in doing with their bone bows and. arrows, relics of the stone age. What is quite possible is that the other members of the party did not find the diet sufficiently tasty, however nourishing it may have been. In one of his books, "My Life with the . v Eskimo," this ethnologist describes a meal with the natives of Union straits. The motherly wife of a hunter had prepared a seal's fore leg for him and a second course consisting of soup from seal blood. There is no question but that through his ability to mix with the natives and to live, not in the comparative comfort and style of other northern explorers, but as his Icelandic blood made possible, Stefansson learned much " more of the Arctic rezion and its people than any previous expedition. He is an anthropoid- fiat, tuintd Scientist and moreover, writer nJ ineiker ttho it bl 14 carry th Interrttiiig and fnformitivf remits of hit invrtigtiiont to the peupte, , lit criticl'Hj d reri'd at lum now is coming front SCadrmic circlet.

A general lumming up of life by philoopl:era, poets, preacheri or even rynin, uully contain! the proposition that rich age hat ilt coinpeina tioni, and that the mental attitude flungcs i cspcrience accumulates and man's phytkal fanil ties undergo the gradual disintegration that lead to dissolution. This may be true, for it serin, tu ret on the artuat trial of life over a long uc ceiiion of generations, and is in accord with the inevitable cycle, which require! that each nun', son begin where he began, not where he left off. It doea not take into consideration, however, that at each stage of existence man niics much that he might enjoy, simply because he goei in pur suit of mythical things, rather than holding to safe and solid inheritances. Xo intention is here contained of laying down a hard and fast rule for guidance; it it both dif ficult and dangerous to undertake to let up standards, for man has ever been intractable and of a mind to wander away from well defined paths. It is the tendency to diverge that hat baffled and at the same time delighted biologists, who have found nature careful of the type, while careless of the single life, yet charitable and hospitable to the single life when it once sets up business for itself and establishes its right to exist In fact, the good old lady then adopts the divergent as a new type, and propagates it with utmost care until anotner individualistic member of the group sets off on a new tangent. Were this not so, the pithecanthropus might never have attained his distinctive title of erectus, nor, in fact, would animated creation have journeyed far beyond the amoebae. Types breed true, but the everlasting ferment continually inspires the effort to get away from type, and into a newer and perhaps a better state. When this lesson from nature's open book is conned and understood, mankind will come nearer to the realization of what life really con tains. From the beginning of responsible days to the end, it is a continual succession of op portunities. Each day provides its chances as as well as its duties. Only those who are sub merged in the morass of routine lose the glorious prospects that come with each rising of the sun. Do the drudgery, for it must be .done; that phase of life is inexorable, but' do not let the press of routine close in on you to the end that the real vista of life is narrowed and vision disappears in a schedule of things that are to be attended to each day, and which become in time a montonous repetition of littlo acts. Some of the greatest things ever done for humanity have been done by those who spent the greater part of their lives in the treadmill only they did not think of it as that. They were at the task appointed -for them to do, but they did not let it so completely absorb them as to destroy the tendency to di verge. ' No Jazr at the Wedding. "A Voice That Breathed O'er Eden" may get by, and perhaps "Oh, Promise Me," but this "I-Love-You-Dearly" stuff has got to be stopped. That's alt there is to it. Bishop Shayler sensibly enough says if they didn't love each other dearly they would not be approaching the altar. His church has too high regard for the marriage ceremony, which it esteems as a sacrament, to allow it to be lightened by the introduction of frivolous modern melodies that pass for music. "Here Comes the Bride, All Dressed in White," which almost has the sanctity of tradition, will be accepted', but that is one trouble with it. So many thousands of brides have slow-stepped down the aisle, with papa doing contortions to hold even his sedate tread down to the ma jestically slow tempo of Mendelssohn's march that most of the girls are weary of it and want something else. Then, it does not -comport with the modern spirit. Marriage in those days was a matter of courtship and engagement, and other ceremonious procaedings, in which the young folks took time to think it over and realize iu some degree the responsibilities they were as suming. Nowadays it out-jazzes jazz; it is "Let's got" until the minister says the last word, and then, too frequently, ""it is "Where do we go from here?" And so they jazr up to "the altar, and away ffom it, and into the divorce court and out again, and keep the. society editors busy card indexing folks that they may not get them mixed in writing up doings. Perhaps if Bishop Shayler will go a little further, and get a little of the jazz cut out of the preliminaries, he will not have much "trouble in eliminating it when the con tracting parties get ready to start that always impressive march down the aisle to the chancel rail. , Cut Out the Munitions Traffic. Private traffic in firearms receives another blow in the revelation that African slave traders are depending for their weapons on American munition plants. The French, Italian and Brit ish governments, through the desire to maintain peace in Africa, are under an agreement not to allow arms to be sent from their countries to the Abyssinians. With no such pledge asked or given from America, a supply of automatic rifles has been sent from here. Abyssinia technically is one of the two inde pendent states of the African continent. That it has not been gobbled up by one of the powers is only because none would consent to another having it. There is nothing particularly moral about their agreement to withhhold arms from the natives, as all will realize who remember the disastrous, defeat inflicted upon the Italian army by these same people.. V - , In spite of all questions of foreign policy, America ought not countenance the sale of guns and cartridges in whatever spot of the globe and for whatever purpose they are desired. If a man wants a gun or a thousand guns, it should first be ascertained what he intends to do with them. One of the sore points in American rela tions with Germany, it will be remembered, was the sale of German munitions to the Mexicans. The arms trade is a breeder of trouble"., If the League of Nations haa' been what it pre tended to be, a means of insuring peace, it would hare taken hold of this problem and settled it The people of the civilized nations are ready for the public control of the traffic in arms.

All this the diepntchea from Washington have set forth. Tn there extraordinary olrcum stanrea can he doululees detected the shadow of events to come. If the treaties of 'Washington com mend themselves to the sympathy and support of Senator Pepper, either In the form that they will be submitted by the executive, or in the form that they will be reported to tho senate from the committee or foreign relations, his own power of convincing eloquence will doubt less qualify the new senator as junior counsel for the defense of tho American delegation on the floor of the senate and before the bar of American public opinion. Like the lato Senator Knox. Mr. PeuDor en- Joys.the confidence and the acquaint anceship of senators on botn sides of the aisle and of both tho conser vative and radical schools of thought. As an nccommodator of uifferances of opinion he enjoys a widfl reputa tion. During the crusade against the iniquities in general of th9 treaty of Versailles and the follies In nar- tlrular of its entangled and entan gling covenant, Mr. Pepper was the most eloquent spokesman outside the senate of the forces of straight Americanism, the most effective de fender of the orderly development of American foreign policy In the spirit of traditional American . fundamen tals, and the most confounding critic of the attempt at Paris to rele gate to the dump heap of the old world diplomacy the policy of Wash ington and tho doctrine of Monroe. He helped to finance and accepted the vice presidency, of the league for the preservation of American independence, and stumped the country against the league of na tions. As a conciliator he stood be tween the strong reservationists and the irreconcilables, and retained the sympathy and respect of both. Unless we mistake tho manner of the man, misunderstand his habits and thought and appraise too highly the quality of his courage and the power of his vision, Senator Pepper will not make the mistake of a cer tain Chamber of Commerce and issue a blanket endorsement of the work of the conference before the conference has completed its work and before he has had a chance to examine with the care and comoe- tency of a constitutional lawyer all the treaties now under negotiation. Jt is probably safe to say that Sena tor Pepper is not troubled by any attack that has yet been made upon the four-power treaty on the ground, that Article II of that agreement Is In any sense an imitation of Arti cle X of the Versailles covenant. Senator Pepper can be trusted, we think, to see very clearly, and to ex pound as clearly, that the contrast bebtween the two articles is "the contrast between an undertaking to talk tisfnga over (which is the case of Article II), and an undertaking to act without talking things over," which is the case of Article X. It is, however, inconceivable that Senator Tepper can be counted upon to serve any delegation at any con ference as counsel for Its defense unless the work of that delegation can be squared with the spirit of the best traditions of American diplo macy. For in the lexicon of the new senator from Pennsylvania American diplomacy is synonymous with American defense. For this reason it would seem to be necessary for the treaties of Washington to be interpreted to the senate in terms that will be highly displeasing to the pacifist bloc in both houses of con gress, if these international agree ments are to receive the support. in and out of the senate, of the logical successor of Senator Knox. For Senator Pepper is not only a graduate of the first Plattsburg camp, but an ardent advocatf of training with the colors for national citizenship. He left the republican party in 1912 and stumped the coun try in support of Roosevelt; he is a strong believer in an adequate American navy; a defender of the Philippine policy of MeKinley. Roosevelt and Taft, and he was a supporter of Leonard Wood for the presidency in 1920. It was upon his motion, as a member of the board of trustees of the University of Penn sylvania that Gen. Wood was elected to head that institution, and to his influence in the board is chiefly due its grant of a year's leave of ab sence to Gen. Wood in order that the general might accept temporar ily the governor generalship of our far eastern frontier. Unless Senator Pepper reverses his record on public questions now to the fore he cannot qualify in or out of the senate as junior counsel for the defense of the conference of Washington unless its treaties are to mark the resumption of the foreign military and naval policies identified with the presidency of Roosevelt policies based upon the good old fashioned American principle of dis interested friendship with all na tionsof good will, but entangling alliances, secret understandings and special relationships with none. The hope, therefore, held out from Washington that Senator Pepper is to be put forward as a defender of flow to Keep Well a t. W. A, EVANJ QuMlHwa ftaiaa !

After organizing, shortening hours to 10 and mak ing some attempt at sanitation the average age jumped to 35. After introduction of the 8-hour day and the union's fight on tuberculosis was under way the age increased to 41.25 in 1900. Since 1900, according to official statistics on file with the International Typographical Union, the figure has steadily risen until last year showed the average age of printers at death to be 53.17 years. Wouldn 't you fight to add that many years to the lives of &0, 000 men including yourself ? Printers' lives still fall nine years short of the age of the Americans in other occupations.
