Envy not the opressor, and choose none of his ways.—Proverbs 3:31. First 100 Years Hardest IT’S a hard war to settle. For about five years the most acrimonious dispute raged ’round the world over who started the Great War. For the next two years an even more heated arguments was kept up over who won the war. Now it’s something else again. They’re fussing over who stopped the war. The French and British are insisting America did it, and America just as vociferously blames it on France and England. Rudyard Kipling, who has written no Page One stuff in so long his name is but a memory, barges back into the limelight for a moment to say some nasty things about America and charge this country with having brought about the armistice. Secretary of War Weeks won’t have it. “All the evidence,” he says rather warmishly, “on the subject of ending the war indicated that the British and French leaders were responsible for the armistice and it was entered into over the protest of the responsible American military and civil representatives in France.” That ought to clear the fair name of America once and for all from the terrible disgrace of having deliberately put an end to that lovely war. Scientific Crime THE latest tools of criminals are displayed in New York at the international conference of police. Detectives seem most interested in apparatus used by “rope workers.” With the skill of “human flies,” this breed of crooks get on a roof and climb down as many as fourteen stories to commit robbery, using only their muscles and a clothesline. Burglars now have a fad of carrying their tools in violin and banjo cases. Electricity is being used widely by yeggmen. Hooking to a light socket, they go through a safe door with electric drills. In blowing a safe, they even use an electric fuse-exploder. Detective Boylan says the yeggmen never have been able to perfect the use of acetylene torches for burning through steel vaults. All around, the “scientific” tools of crime are disappointing to the curious. In the main they' are crude, about the same as a decade ago, with nothing startling as in “master mind” detective fiction. 4 Each professional criminal, the convened police say, has a characteristic style of work peculiar to himself. For instance, if a window is broken noiselessly' by plastering flypaper on it to prevent the crash of falling glass, the police know instantly* that the crook is one of a score or so who specialize in this method. Further elimination is easy', for certain crooks work only on Saturday nights, at certain hours or only during storms. Cocaine is the chief tool of the New York crook, says Detective Frank Quigley'. lie explains: “Anybody' that goes crooked begins taking it to steady his nerves. If a man shows a yellow streak, his pals make him take a big sniff of cocaine before they will go out on a job with him. I don't believe a loft burglary or any other dangerous crime has been pulled off in New York for years except after they have doped themselves to keep their nerves.” Crime and the drug traffic go hand-in-hand. To attack crime at its roots and paralyze its growth, stop drug traffic. That is the way, and police know it, but it’s easier said than done. The job, however, is not impossible. Post-Mortem Over Maine TWENTY-THREE per cent of those who voted the Republican ticket in Maine in 1920 stay'ed away* from the polls in the recent State election. The Democratic State ticket got 6 per cent more votes than it did in 1920. The Democrats explain this by saying Maine Republicans are too “hidebound” to go over to the Democrats in any considerable numbers so they showed their displeasure with their own party management by going “fishing” on election day. But what the Old Guard is concerned over is this: If the Maine percentage of election-day stay-at-homes—23 per cent—holds good for the rest of the country next November, and the Democrats make the Maine gain of 6 per cent over their 1920 vote, the landslide pluralities of the Republicans in 1920 will he wiped out in the following States: Delaware, Indiana. Maryland, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah and West Virginia. The latest pre-election “dope” sheet of the Republican national committee shows the loss of sixty-two Republican seats in the House. This would give the Republicans a membership of 237 as against 299 at present, leaving them in control of the House by 38 votes. Another bugaboo: The Old Guard sees a possibility of a balance of party' power in the Senate passing over to the Johnson La Follette-Borali crowd of progressives. The defeat of Townsend in Michigan next November would make La Follette ranking member of the important Interstate Commerce Committee, and Sterling of South Dakota chairman of the Committee on Postoffices and Post Roads. The defeat of Lodge in Massachusetts would make Borah chairman of the vitally important Foreign Relations Committee. The chairmanship of the all-important Finance Committee would he almost within La Follette’s grasp, only Smoot of Utah standing in his way, and Smoot is liable to become head of the Mormon Church within the next few years and retire. Yes. the Old Guard is considerably worried.

MIDICE LOIR IN COST BECAUSE OF LICENSE PLAN Chemical Foundation Saves American Consumers Large Sums. QUESTION OF OBLIGATIONS United States Held to Have Violated International Code in Seizure. By SIDNEY E. WHIPPLE Time Staff Corrcsoondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—Backed by those who claim the 4,700 German patents and formulas seized by the United States during the war were to all intents and purposes “stolen'’ from their rightful owners. President Harding, through Attorney General Daugherty, now seeks to force the “holding company,” the Chemical Foundation, to return them to the United States. Francis P. Garvan, president of the foundation serving without pay, claims the Government is playing right into the hands of the former German cartel, or monopoly. Fraction of Their Value Garvan’s opponents claim the $250,000 paid for the 4,700 German patents was but a fraction of what they were worth. They claim the United States violated its inte.rnational obligations. The foundation claims the United States had a perfect right to seize the patents and the price at which they were sold had nothing to do with it; That what was wanted was to prevent swapping a German monopoly for an American one: to encourage American industry and prevent either Germans or Americans levying tribute on the American people to the tune of millions annually. Meantime it is admitted the foundation has permitted competition; that American chemists operating under licenses granted by the foundation, have materially reduced prices for many medicines made under German formula. Salvarsan, cure for blood poison, used to sell for $2.50 per ampule. It is now sold for seventy-five cents to the public, and twenty-eight cents to the Government. Veronal nsed to sell for $3 for 100 five-grain tablets. Now it sells for $1.50. Novocain is a perfect anasthetic. Your dentist, if he is progressive, uses it when he is working close to the nerves o' your teeth. Novocain used to cost 2’ii cents a dose. Now it is about I cent. Aspirin used to sell for $8 a pound in the United States. It sells today at between 75 cents and sl. The average price of American dyes is now eighty three cents a pound. Imported dyes now cost $1.22 a pound. Daugherty says his interest in the matter is forcing the foundation to j yield up the patents. Congress, then. ! he declares, can do with them what it pleases.

More effective —and it will have to come in time —would be to make the sale cf wood-alcohol in beverages punishable by imprisonment at hard labor for at least twenty years. Tho bootlegger who serves wood alcohol commits premediated murder. BUNK Hindenburg, in a letter whitewashing the ex-Kaiser’s flight to Holland, refers to Rill as “Most Exalted, All Mightiest Kaiser. Most Gracious Kaiser, King and Lord.” This should appeal to any one with a sense of humor. Fortunately, such adulation comes only from the extreme royalists, and then only occasionally.

IMMENSE LOANS TO UNIONS REVEAL SENSIBLE MOTIVES

By N. D. COCHRAN Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—A really big news story came out of New York the other day—a story full of tremendous significance—a story that is wonderfully interesting when its meaning is revealed. During the coal strike a New York bank loaned the striking miners SIOO,000 on personal notes signed by three officers of the miners union—and without collateral security. At first view, and without thinking it over, that looks like rather reckless banking. But critical analysis throws an entirely different light on It, and shows it to be sound, conser vative banking—a loan backed by most excellent security. That security is the credit of about 800,000 American wage-earners, banded together for their own business purposes in a labor union. There isn’t a Kg bank in the country that doesn’t make loans daily on security not nearly so dependable. The labor union isn’t incorporated. It has no license from the State like the ordinary big business corporation —the Standard Oil Company for illustration. At the same time the membership of this union has an earning capacity of more than a billion dollars a year. The payment of one dollar by each member would mean not far from a million dollars in cash—and very quickly at that. Newspaper stories say the news about this loan made Wall St. gasp. The chances are, however, that no wise banker who knows the meaning of credit gasped. Bankers who have done business with labor unions know not only their ability but their willingness to pay their union debts. Organization Wide Evidently some bankers realize what the general public hasn’t yet sensed—that the American Federation of Labor is as big a big business concern as the Standard Oil Company or the Steel Corporation. And doubtless the Wall Street bankers who started the nationwide so-called “open shop” movement were prompted In this desperate effort to crush organized labor ly fear of the tremendous power of the organized financial resources of several millions of wage earners. One of the directors of tho bank which made this loan said that the collateral behind it was "the integrity of 900.000 miners and their faro Hies.” Ho added that they could have had a much larger sum i f they had wanted it. “even $5,000,000.” Welfare Obvious Knd The directors of this particular bank not only ha%'e clearer vision than the Wall Street bankers that started the movement to crush unionism. but from the standpoint of the

Newly Organized Unity League Plans Vigorous Fight Against Ku-Klux Klan

By NEA Peru tee CHICAGO, Sept. 16.-—Battle plans for a finish fight with adherents of the Ivu-Klux Klan will be formulated here some time during next month, when a national convention of delegates to the American Unity League is scheduled to meet and map out a plan of campaign. This is announced by Patrick H. O’Donnell, Chicago attorney, and chairman of the league which has as its motto: “Freedom for all —political equality—down with the Ku-Klux.” O'Donnell's organization has established active headquarters and is now directing the work of agents scattered throughout the country wherever the Klan has succeeded in gaining a foothold. “This is to be a real fight,” he promises. “It will not end with a lot of talk and wonderful promises. “We’re out to lick the Ku-Klux end forever disperse them.

Advises Peace On Terms Laid Down in Memorandum to Lloyd George

"We had better make peace with Mustapha Kemal while we can," he warned. General Townshend said Kemal had outl.ned his terms to him and that he had forwarded them to Lloyd George. They included independence for territories where Turkish population is in the majority. Commander in Mesopotamia General Townshend was in command of the British Mesopotamian army which was besieged by the Turks in Kut-El-Amara during the World War and surrendered only after bitter resistance lasting months. He was held prisoner by the Turks for the remainder of the war and was sent out by them to ask the British for peace when the end came. “My God, what madness to treat the Near East situation as the powers are doing,” said General Townshend. “We have no business in Constantinople and the sooner we get out the bettor.

REFORESTRTIBN OF IDLE LANDS PLEA OF GROUP

Forestry Association Draws Lesson From Value of Trees in World War. BACKBONE OF COUNTRY Many States Now Forced to Import Lumber Once Bountiful Near Home. NEW YORK, Sept. 16.—Many lessons can be learned from the World War, but the most important comes as a result of it according to Charles Lathrop Pack, who is at the Belmont Hotel to attend a meeting of the directors of the American Forestry Association of Washington. These directors are: Colonel W. B. Greeley. chief of the United States Forest Service;. Colonel H. S. Graves, dean of forestry, Yale University; Dr. Henry S. Drinker, forest commissioner of Pennsylvania; E. A. Sterling, forest engineer, New York City; F. W. Besley, State forester of Maryland; O. M. Butler, Madison, Wis., forester of American Forestry Association; C. W. Lyman, International Paper Company, New York City; P. S Ridsdaie, editor American Forestry Magazine; E. F. Baker, American Newspaper Publishers Association. Cleveland. “In the discussion over war indemnities to be paid by Germany wa find Germany saying she cannot pay all in money, but will pay some In timber and forest products,” said Mr. Pack, w-ho is president of the association. “There is the great lesson for this country. The other day the French premier said a moratorium would be granted if the mines and the forests of Germany were placed in allied hands. "France, with her once splendid forests, knows the value of timber and forest products. The whole world knows how’ the invaders carried away lumber and cut down forests during the war. The whole world also knows how the Germans ruthlessly girdled and killed thousands of trees they could not use themselves. Black Forest Increases "Figures show that there is eleven per cent more timber in the famous Black Forest of Germany today than in when the war started. It has beenOny privilege to send millions of tree seeds to Europe to help reforest areas ruined by the war. I have done this in the hope that the people of this country would see the great value of maintaining that backbone of all industry, forest products. “Take for example my own State of New Jersey where they pay five mil lion dollars a year in freight rates on imported lumber. What does that mean to industrial centers? What does that mean to the consumer who ultimately pays the bill? Even the Lake States, once the greatest producers of lumber are now importing it to keep their factories going. The same is true in New England. “Do the American people need anv greater lesson as to the value of having a timber crop every year close to the point of consumption that the fact that France considers German foresis good security for Germany's war debts? There are eighty-one million acres of idle land in this country, most of it in the East and Middle West, good for nothing but growing trees. Idle land Is as great a drain on properity as Idle men. Forest producing land is our greatest asset and the best assurance of national security in the future.”
