PEACE OR WAR? IT’S UP TO YOU! I HIS week the United States Senate once more begins its grind. For you, for your young son, for this country and for the world, this Congress may be epoch-making. World peace or world war may spring from its sessions. For peace or war —life or death, it may be, for some of your own flesh and blood —largely depends upon whether the Senate decides to cooperate with the other nations to prevent war, or adopts the cold-blooded do-nothing attitude of its small band of isolationists. , For the moment the key to the situation is the late President Harding’s proposal of last February that we join the World Court. A resolution to this effect is now in the hands of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, headed by Senator Lodge, foe of the court. This committee will kill the resolution if it possibly can. Now, joining the World Court does not mean absolute guarantee against war. No world peace plan can. But it does not entangle us with any European or other foreign power one whit, tittle, shade or shadow. It is, however, a short step in the right direction, and it is only by taking such steps that we may ever hope to get away |rom tha open powder barrel upon which the world is now sitting waiting for a spark. • • • Opinion is overwhelming, here and abroad, that another world war is virtually certain within the next five or ten years. The question is: Shall we stand still, like helpless ninnies, and let it engulf us? Or shall we at least do what we can to stave it off? ' The attitude of the isolationists is never throw a rope to a drowning man; the rope might break. Shall we adopt this attitude as ours and refuse to lift a finger to help save a perishing world —of which we, ourselves, are a part? Or shall we cooperate with other intelligent peoples in a universal, but unentangling, plan to save ourselves from this horror? * * • If we are blocked in our effort to stave off this war, it will be because of a small coterie of selfish politicians. Yet, as a matter of cold, calm truth, so far as the people of this country are concerned, and so far as the plain people of the world are concerned, politics has nothing whatever to do with it. Secretary of State Hughes is big enough to favor cooperation via the World Court. So is Eliku Root, another leading Republican. Likewise ex-President Taft. And Herbert Hoover. And so are so many others that this page would not begin to hold their names. Almost every church in this country has gone on record as favoring some such effort. So have innumerable chambers of Commerce, World War veterans’ associations, women’s clubs, labor unions, and so on. Only this week a dozen national women’s organizations sent representatives to the White House to plead for the World Court. tit % Isolationists in the Senate, we repeat, will kill the World Court if they can. Senator Lodge’s foreign Relations Committee will kill it if it can. Whether they do so or not is largely up to YOU. % Write to Senator Samuel M. Ralston at Washington, D. C. Till him you’ve had enough of war and that you are expecting him to help head off another by pressing for favorable action on the World Court. Write to President Coolidge. Tell him the same thing. Tell him you are looking to him to prevent Lodge and his kind from blocking the pathway to peace.

A PARTY’S PLEDGE A XT) THE ANSWER TTI ORE than 1,000 men in Indianapolis, employes of Uncle Sam, fjjjare concerned these days. The postal employe is rightly looking to Uncle Sam for a square deal. His life of training and experience is limited to the work in which he is engaged. No other employer can use him, and yet the very nature of his work is so important that business as well as the Government itself depends upon his efficient services.” Congress, in opening this week, will soon be asked to take up the consideration of the postal employes’ reclassification bill. The great army of postoffice clerks, letter carriers and railway clerks—receiving wages from $1,400 to $1,600 a year, although a few receive more—is asking that a living wage, at least, be granted. It is timely and pertinent to reprint one of the pledges of the Republican party in 19^0: “The United States postal service should be operated for service rather than for profit. There is no true economy in destroying the efficiency of the Postoffice Department by curtailment of the service it has hitherto performed, or by failure to properly compensate employes whose expert knowledge is essential to the proper conduct of the affairs of the postal system. The postal service is at present materially below the proper standards of efficiency.” Will “strict economy” perpetuate the injustice that is being done to “employes whose expert knowledge is essential to the proper conduct of the affairs of the postal system”! Deplorable conditions in wages and living conditions of more than 1,000 postal employes in Indianapolis are revealed in a series of articles in The Times. Read the facts. Then if you think that the postal employe deserves a square deal, give him a helping hand! Write a letter to The Times. It will be sent to our Washington Bureau and then presented to Congress. HI JOHNSON, on Manager Hitchcock’s suggestion, reserves the right to amend his own keynote speech after the President has delivered his message. Can it be that Hiram would be influenced by Calvin? G.

THREE DIE FOR GOOD OF EMPIRE Japanese Soldier Tells How He Strangled Socialist Leader, Wife and Boy. By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor L v .1 ASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—Now |\Y that the news embargo has ■ 'J been lifted and a hitherto con’ealed side of the great Japanese earthquake can be told, many strange tales are beginning to filter through to the outside world. Here lr one of them. One of the strangest. It has just reached the writer from a friend in Kobe, and is nothing less than the cool confession of a triple murder by a high official, “for the sake of the Empire.” It seems that during the first days of the horror, the Japanese rounded up every “dangerous person” they could find, including people of certain political beliefs. Capt. Amakasu Masahlko, Japanese army officer appointed head of the Gendarmerie of Kojl-maohi, told how he came to strangle Osugi Sakae, socialist leader: Ito Noe. Osugi's wife and a writer, and a 17-year-old nephew of Osugi. “After the earthquake,” he said, "the Metropolitan police and the police at each station in Tokio were engaged in hunting up socialists. I saw Osugi had not been run to earth and, fearing socialist activities, after the evacuation of the city by the troops, I started a search for him. “In company with Sergeant Major Mori and two gendarmes, I went to the residence of Osugi. He was not there, but a policeman found he had gone to Tsurumi. Family Is Sighted “At 5 p. m. Osugi. Noe and a boy were sighted. Noe stopped at a fruit store to buy some pears for the boy. Sergeant Major Mori then requested them to come to the gendarmerie. “Osugi and the others were led up the stairs, where there were some unused rooms. Here I gave them supper. At 8 p. m. Sergeant Major Mori took Osugi Into another room and started his examination. “I entered the room through a door behind Osugi, who was sitting on a chair answering the sergeant major’s questions. I immediately grasped Osugi's neck with my right forearm, seizing his right wrist with my left hand and pulled him backward. “Osugi fell on the floor. Putting my right knee on his back I strangled him to death by a jujutsu hold. Osugi was in great agony, but expired in some ten minutes. Then I would a piece of string about his nook and. laid him there. “About 9:15 I entered the room where Ito Noe was and found her sitting on a chair, leaning her elbow on a desk and with her back toward the entrance. This made it difficult to strangle her immediately. Strangles Woman

‘AVhila conversing' with her I approached her and stramr’ed her to death in the same man ras Osugi. Owing to the disadvanta; ecus position in which she was sitting I had some difficulty in executing her. She groaned a few times and scratches my left wrist, but she, too, explrea in about ten minutes, lifter winding a piece of cord about her neck, I left the corpse there. Sergeant Major Mori was standing by, but did not help me. “The boy had become familiar wit** me on my way to the station. I pitted him. Shortly before the strangulation of Noe, I put him in the next room. When Noe groaned and struggled, the boy heard and became noisy. "After Noe was killed I proceeded into the next room and strangled the boy to death, winding a piece of cord about his neck. He uttered no sound." The captain then told how gendarmes threw the bodies in a well partially wrecked by the earthquake and threw brick in to cover them up. Then he said: "The strangulation was my own scheme. I did it not as head of the Gendarmerie branch office, but as an individual. I thought It necessary for the sake of the Empire."

Science

All scientists, astronomers in particular, are waiting for August, 1924, when they expect to solve some of the mysteries connected with the planet Mars. At that time Mars will be nearer the earth than at any time in over a century and closer than it will be again for many years. Plans are befng mnfie for the most careful study of the planet and with modern scientific equipment it will not be surprising if many points, long discussed and argued by scientists, will be settled. The question of whether there is life on Mars is an old one and It has always been based largely on the assumption that the "canals” on that planet were made by intelligent beings in order to preserve life, through irrigation, in a world that is close to extinction. The theory is that these lines are not the canals themselves, but the vegetation growing alongside this irrigation system. In many respects these lines hear out the theory of vegetation. One opposing contention is that they are solids, but there is no known solid in the mineral world that changes as these spots do, for they darken at certain times and fade out in the sunlight,

I still hated that man, but mature reason told me, ,That probably, I never would see him again. “One day my door opened and a little, unkempt, bespectacled, timid, and obsequious man entered. He had a communication for the paper. I thought I recognized him and the name at the bottom of the communication confirmed me. He was my ogre—my only and pet aversion—of the Port Huron schoolroom. "Yes, he admitted his principalship there. His life had been hard. His eyes were bad and age and illness burdened him. No kith or kin. The past was a fading memory. Ahead, nothing but the : -ters’ field. He was now an Inmate of the city infirmary, or poorhouse.” "But, did you beat him up?” asked the man next the window, impatiently. “Beat him up? No, I gave him two plunks for medicine, and invited him to o&ll again."

‘CHRISTMAS SHIP’ BACK IN CHICAGO Widow Keeps Faith With Skipper Husband and Gets Trees for Kiddies, By United \etex HICAGO. Dec. 3.—Mrs. Herman Schuenemann has kept faith with her skipper-husband. After an absence of four years, Chicago’s “Christmas Ship” is back. An odor of evergreen and balsam, almost entirely foreign to the Riverfront, premeated the smoke-laden air as the “Christmas Ship,” battered and aged beyond its years by the storms of many winters on Lake Michigan, moored to the dock. Her decks were piled high with 10,000 Christmas trees. At a simple meal in the dingy cabin sat Mrs. H. Schuenemann, gray-haired and tanned by toil in all kinds of weather, but radiantly happy because it had been willed that she should keep the faith. All Chicago knew the Schuenemanns. Year after year Herman sailed in the sturdy Rouse Simmons for the North Woods of Michigan late in September. Early December always found him back in port with a shipload of Christmas trees to make happy the yule-tide of thousands of the city’s children. Discriminating people bought the Schuenemann evergreens; they were the best, each selected personally by the veteran skipper. Storm Founders Ship Then, just eleven years ago, as the “Christmas Ship” was bound for Chicago with a record cargo, a storm, such as few could remember, swept the lake. During the night the Rouse Simmons went down. Schuenemann and the small* crew were lost, but even as late as • 1923, storms sometimes wash ar. evergreen upon the lake shore and the children are Informed that It was cast up from the wreck of the "Christinas Ship.” His task of supplying evergreens for Chicago homes was the old skipper’s lifework, In which he took great pride. So the year after the tragedy Mrs. Schuenemann chartered anew boat, went into the forests of northern Michigan and again Chicago bought Schuenemann trees for the yuletide Each year she continued until poor health, accompanying her declining years, and financial setbacks prevented her from “carrying on.” Was Great Effort It was a great effort this year, but finally the little old woman secured the battered old schooner Fearless that again she might keep faith. Death only, she hopes, will stop her work. “Oh, the difference.” she says ’’when I first went to the forests with my husband years ago you couldn't see for the trees. Now you have to hunt for good ones: there is just a few of the big ones left.” Forest-fires, the yearly drain on the woods for trees for Christmas and the effects of the sun on thinned woods have combined to deplete the supply of trees in the north woods. "Bring down the children,” Mrs. Schuenemann says. "We've plenty of trees. Christmas Is the children s holiday and they like to have a word to say about the trees they pick their presents from.” And Mrs. Schuenemann allows that this Isn’t going to be much of a Christmas for her if the children let their grown-ups do all the buying.

Indiana Sunshine

Every night someone kept draining the gasoline tank of a tractor belonging to a farmer of near Sanborp. One day the farmer filled the tank with water. The next morning an automobile was found stalled In the field. A former trusty of the city Jail at South Bend, whose thirst had brought him a fine and sentence had served his term of eleven days and was walking away a free man, broke and happy. "Luck is with me,” he said, when a block away from the jail he saw a pocketbcok slip from the arm of a woman. With visions of a handsome reward, good meals and perhaps several night lodging he hastened to return the purse. "Did you loose anything," ho asked. "Yes, s9o.'and it’s all there,” the woman replied as she counted the money. “Here’s a clime, sir, go buy yourself a cigar.” Then the former trusty decided a life in jail wasn’t without joy. Keeping the company’s premises clean, proved expensive for Prank S. Lofton, railway station agent at Oakland City. Lofton was alleged to have thrown away a bottle afterwards found to contain white mule. He said he had only picked the bottle up and was carrying it off the company's property. The judge fined kirn SIOO and sentenced him to thirty days in jail on conviction of a liquor charge. Animal Facts Over in Rome singing birds are to be had on market whose eyes have been burned out with red-hot irons, it being trie theory that blindness makes them sing better. Beaver, says Edward R. Warren, the naturalist, use four types of construction —dams, lodges, burrows and canals. The canal Is the highest engineering achievement. “To deliberately dam and dig a channel in which to float logs to a pond,” he says, “and not only that, but also tq build dams in this channel to hold water to a desired level, is an intelligent feat.” The constant warfare waged against wolves and coyotes in Yellowstone Park has so depleted their number that now baby antelope and elk are comparatively safe from harm. Their number increases with every year and other animal life shows improvement because of the destruction of the predatory beasts.

4 Wlmt is caracul? And baby lnmb? Caracul is the skin of the young of a certain species of Persian sheep. Baby lamb Is the name given to the fur obtained from lambs killed before birth; that is, the mother sheep is killed Just before the birth of the lamb, and the lamb is removed from the mother in order to get the fur, which is supposed to be finer before than after birth. It is difficult to tell one from the other, except that caracul is usually not as fine as baby lamb. When was Governor Sulzer of New York impeached?

The Balance of Power

Perfectly Clear BY BERTON BRALEY If you have seen a gibberdin Cavorting on the green, With seven feathers on each fin And nothing in between; If you have watched him dance a waltz With thumb-tacks in each shoe, You're bound to understand his faults When they're explained to you. Why does he sit in thorny spots, And every now and then Proceed to tie himself in knots He can’t untie again? Why is his form contained within A tin can on a shelf? Because the wild, wild gibberdin Can not contain himself. If you have watched the gibberdin, You'll very clearly see Why dark green whiskers on his chin Do not appeal to me. For dark green whiskers will not bleach, Except in alcohol; And thus the gibberdin can teach A lesson to us all! (Copyright, 1923, NEA Service, Inc.)

It is really remarkable what valuable information some of these associations pick up. -I- -I- -IFiguring (Goshen Daily News-Times) Mayor Shank thinks he can figure well enough to hold down the office of Governor, but as a preliminary the mayor will do well to do a little figuring on how to get the office.

There are more self murderers among native Americans than among any other nation on the globe. Still we Americans claim to be Christianized and civilized. If the former, we seem to forget that suicide is murder quite as much as if you killed another as yourself. God gave you your life, and only He has a right to take it. Perhaps if more people thought of suicide or self-murder in this light they would ponder long before doing away with themselves. -I- -|- -|- Informal (Ft. Wayne News-Sentinel) The delegation from FT.

As to Speed To the Editor of The Times I noticed an hysterical outburst in regard to “speeding,” signed J. A. Dondono, in The Times. I can usual : ly pass over such stuff, but Mr. Dondono is so badly misinformed I am compelled to reply. FIRST he states the average speed in the mile square is forty miles. The truth Is that during rush hours, it is eight to fifteen miles, by accurate speedometers. During the evening. I have seen some cars making twenty miles in hour. A moment’s consideration would show that no car can average forty miles an hour while stopping every 300 feet. SECOND, Mr. Dondono's statement that the rate of speed inside the city limits is forty to ninety miles is utterly absurd. Nothing but a street car ever makes more than thirty-five at the most. T,HIRD, a car could not cross New York and Pennsylvania Sts. at forty miles per hour without running down the traffic officer. Ask him. As to right to use streets, don’t you think a motorist has a better right to half the street after he pays about seven or eight kinds of taxes for use of these streets? It’s much harder to dodge pedestrians with a oar than for pedestrians to dodgs autos. I know, I do both. WYETH FISHER, 1329 Ewing St.

Dr. R. H. Miller, Kansas City: "Because they can’t explain and understand the miracles Jesus performed while on ear h, many men deny the probability and even the possibility of the miracles. It seems to me the day of miracles Is even more evident at the present time than ever before.” Mrs. Mina Van Winkle, Washington police department: "America’s boys are becoming better all the time, while the girls between the ages of 12 and 20 are becoming more wayward. Gay cabaret life and cheap literature are making the majority of the American girls unfit to become wives and mothers. The only career In every girl’s life should be the devolping cf a real home.” Gerard Swope, president General Electric Company: “The problem in industry is not a problem, as it seems to me, between labor and capitaal, but between management and labor, where management is also as much of an employe as the laborer himself. It Is an engineering problem, and I think the engineers have done the least of , all In its development and solution.”
