Is Nanking Another Sarajevo? Sunday’s news from China and Washington i3 far from reassuring. Consul John K. Davis, at Nanking, in a report to the State Department, says the foreigners killed there the day the city fell were killed ‘‘by soldiers in the uniform of the nationalist army.” Says he, in summing up his conclusions: ‘'lt is proven that the outrages were planned and could not possibly have been the accidental getting out of hand of a few troops.” If these “conclusions” of Consul Davis are established as facts beyond a reasonable doubt, the duty of the United States is clear. The Cantonese must be responsible. But no ultimatum is called for at this time. Still less are we justified in participating in a war against China, evenrif the outrages were committed “by soldiers in the uniform of the nationalist army.” And blockading the Yangtze or sending a punitive expedition into the interior would be just that: War, stark and grim. Has not Eugene Chen, nationalist foreign minister, already and spontaneously informed the great powers that if the acts complained of were committed -by his troops an indemnity would be forthcoming? And has he not expressed regret that such a thing had happened, no matter who committed the deed? Does this not show that the nationalists are inclined to make any reasonable amend possible in the event their forces are found responsible? Why should the United States, then, allow itself to be hustled into a war against the nationalists simply because certain other powers see in the nationalist program a menace to their own selfish hold on China? Everything about the situation shrieks a warning to go slqw and use caution. The whole thing requires close inspection. Any policeman can tell you that every premeditated crime—and Consul Davis tells us this crime was premeditated—has its motive. What, then, was the nationalists’ move? Surely no nationalist leader could have been so stupid as not to know his cause had everything to lose by a wantoh massacre of innocent foreigners and everything to gain by maintaining order. Ha3 it not been the cry of foreign powers all along that no faction in China could maintain order At that country? And have not the nationalists inudslted all along that they could maintain order, and proved that they could, by doing it month after month as they fought their way toward Shanghai? Then, why should they deliberately cut their own throats, play into the hands of their enemies and completely nullify every single thing they have accomplished to date, by an act of disorder? Nanking rather disagreeably recalls a similar incident in 1914 when, at Sarajevo, in the Balkans, the Austrian grand duke and duchess were assassinated. Austria accused the Serbian government of instigating the crime. Serbia denied she was guilty. Without waiting for the matter to be cleared up, Austria sent an ultimatum to Serbia formally accusing her of complicity and making humiliating, almost impossible demands. Austria did not want Serbia to comply. What she wanted was to wipe Serbia off the map as an independent power. The World War was the answer. Is Nanking another Sarajevo? Are the great powers seeking an excuse to wipe nationalist China off the map? If so, we've no business in their company, and no amount of wheedling or pushing should put us there.

In Ten Years’ Time Ten years is not a long time, measured by ordinary standards. Yet some particular decades seem, in retrospect, nearly as long as centuries. Ten years ago this month the United States and Germany went to war. April of 1917 is still vivid in the memories of mos'. But how very long ago it seems t It is as if everything that happened before that fateful month took plu:e in some former age, which we now remember only dimly and imperfectly. A g:eat many things have happened since that clay ten years ago when, with curiously mixed emotions, Americans read that their country was at war. That day marked the end of an epoch in our history, c’thcvgh we did not realize it at the time. America, as a Nation, ceased to be an untried yoingrter, and vaulted, in a remarkably short time, to the fo.cmost position among the powers of the earth. We are not now wlmt we were before April, 1917, and we never can be; we are separated from the pre-war days by far move than ten short years. The war left burope “bled white.” The task of shaping the world's destiny passed across the Atlantic and came to America. Power such as no nation ever held before is now ours. With the power has come responsibility. It was said long, long ago that much will be expected from him to whom much is given; that remark is as true today as when it was first uttered. So perhaps the end of this decade might be a good time for us to take stock of ourselves, of our purposes and cf our future. Not infrequently you will hear people say that the war was a tragic mistake and that the aims for which it was fought have all failed. That is not true. Whether it ever will be true depends on us. If we forget that we are living in a changed world; if we ignore our responsibilities and try to get along in the old, happy-go-lucky manner; if we lose sight of the lessons the last ten years have taught us- then, indeed, it may be that the terrible sacrifices of Ihe war will have been In vain. The Railroaders For more than fifty years Steve J- Standart of Kansas City, has been a loemotive engineer. He is not only dean of engineers on his own railroad; he is believed to have just about the longest service record of any engineer in the country. Standart was a railroader when locomotives and their equipment had not been perfected as they ure now. And he makes a remark that we think is rather apropos: “The man who travels on tho de luxe trains of today, with all the comforts of a modern hotel, does not realize the toll in human life and suffering the

present-day standard of railroad service has taken in its buijding.” He’s right. We are accustomed to take our railroads for granted. We fuss and fume if, on a freezing winter night, the Pullman car is not heated to just the right temperature. We complain loudly if, on a thousand-mile run, cfor train is twenty minutes late. When the roadbed over a mountainous region is a bit bumpy and uneven we vow we shall never travel by that route again. When we read of a wreck we shake our heads and wonder what is the matter .with the line, anyhow. We forget what a tremendously complicated thing the modern railway train is: we forget how many years of effort have gone into bringing it to its present standard. Not so long ago, for instance, applyip; the brakes to a train was not a simple matter of pulling a six-inch lever in the engine cab, with compressed air to do the work. No, indeed. The engineer threw his weight on a long level'; on top of every car a trainman did likewise. Standart points out that many times in the old days he blistered his hands and wrists “to the elbow” pulling on the hand brake. Railroading is an exacting calling. Rain or shine, winter or summer, the trains must go out on time. This means hard work and careful planning by the workmen responsible. It’s worth while for us to give a thought, occasionally, to the man in the cab —and to the other workers, on the train and along the line. Heavy responsibility sits on these men’s shoulders. A slight mistake by any one of them could bring disaster. Theirs is a strenuous job. They deserve our recognition.

The Latest Farce Citizens of Indiana are now told that the courts will be asked to determip*t whether the Legislature has power to impeach a judge. Os course the law should be settled and no executive official should be allowed to set aside laws as unconstitutional. But the promised legal proceeding to determine this rather grave matter has all the markings of a first-class farce. When the Legislature first proposed to impeach Judge Dearth’of Muncie, the Attorney General of the State promptly gave an opinion that the Legislature was without power and that a law enacted by that body thirty years ago, although never contested, was in his opinion illegal. In fact, he declared that any onq with a "competent mind” would so declare. Not having competent minds, the members of the Legislature almost unanimously voted to proceed, and did proceed. When the State Senate met as a trial court, the lawyers for Judge Dearth at once made the plea that the Senate was without power and authority and called attention to tHfc opinion of the Attorney General. When the Senators tried to draw their salaries for serving as trial judges in the case, the Attorney General once more gave the opinion that the whole proceeding was illegal, and under that opinion the State Auditor refused to pay them. That later the Governor, under a deal to prevent a special session, gave them money from the contingent fund set aside for his disposal and paid it for a presumably illegal service, is no part of the | latest move. Evidently by arrangement, the State Auditor now refuses to give Judge Dearth his salary for the period between his impeachment by the House and the acquittal by the Senate. The legal adviser of the .State auditor is the attorney general, who has repeatedly said that the whole proceeding, was illegal. If that opinion, >hich was used to influence members of the State Senate in their judgment and was given privately by members as a reason for their voting to acquit, was followed there could be no reason for refusing the salary, except to get a case into court where all the attorneys involved were intent upon establishing the same precedent. If it was illegal to pay Senators for serving as judges, there could be no legal reason for not paying the judge who, under that theory, was never before any court. But a suit to collect the salary for Judge Dearth will be filed by a lawyer who has asserted that the impeachment was illegal. The defense will, under the law, be in the hands of the attorney general, who has repeatedly taken the same position. When that case gets into the court the people will have the fine spectacle of a suit in which all lawyers agree. Os course, the Supreme Court judges may go hunting for legal precedents on their own account. But as the matter stands the whole thing is a farce unless it be admitted that no lawyer is of any particular benefit or aid to the Supreme Court in reaching any decision. A case in which the lawyers for both sides are intent on establishing the same principle ought not to be hard to win. It Doesn’t Pay Fifteen years ago Jesse Sharp, “lifer,” escaped from the Ohio penitentiary. The other day, old and broken, he came back voluntarily. The strain of evading police, of fearing constantly that he would be caught, was too great, he said. It ruined his health and prevented him from getting any enjoyment out of his free.dom. So he came back. A lawbreaker pays for his crime in more ways than one. This man found out that a man’s own conscience can punish him more sharply than any man-made prison. It doesn’t always pay, after all. This scientific age shall not have reached its summit until someone invents an automatic windshield wiper for horn rimmed glasses. A man is supposed to know himself and to keep good company, too. We have learned now why the American Legion is going to Paris. It’s to see “Abie's Irish Rose.” When quicker divorces are granted Reno will grant them.

A ’ V Despite Slogan, Thompson Has Come Back in Chicago Politics,

By M. E. Tracy “Big Bill, lie never worked and lie never will.” • That is the slogan with which Chicago marches to the polls. It is a good slogan, but Chicago hasn’t any too much confidence in it. Contrary to all expectations, the Hon. William Hale Thompson has come back. His candidacy, which was taken as a joke when first announced, is now regarded as a most serious problem. Opposing an administration which hap won not only the respect of Chicago, but of the ; entire country, he seems more than t likely to achieve one of those inexI plicable triumphs that are the disgrace of American politics. It is just another case where reI sentment at prohibition gives a misfit his chance. Judge Dever, the present mayor of Chicago, who is running for reelection, has made things hard for the bootlegger, because he believes it is an official’s duty to enforce every law, whether he believes in it or not. When Judge Dever went info office there were some seven thousand speakeasies in Chicago, of which he has closed practically one-half. The booze peddlers and their patrons know that they w’ill be subjected to no such unkind treatment from Big Bill, and are with him to a man. The colored vote also is for him, as well as that great crowd of political morons who take street ’jargon and guttfr slang for wisdom. Such men as Big Bill Thompson thrive on puritanical reforms. If you would know what makes it possible for them to sweep better men out of office and hold positions for which they have poor qualifications, go to the blue laws, the restriction and the meddlesomeness which irritate people until they don’t care what they do or w’hom they elect so long as they see a chance to regain some of their lost liberty. Collar Plea The American Legion has been importuned to help the campaign for low-necked, soft-collared shirts when it goes to France next summer. Whether this is in interest of corncomfort, or commerce, it is difficult to say, but Robert La Peyrade, general secretary of the Anti-Hard Collar League, has written a most appealing letter on ' the subject, in which he takes the American men severly to talsk for their timidity In the matter of dress. “Why,” he expostulates, “when women have the courage -to show their legs—no matter how large or how badly shaped they may be—why should me be afraid to bare their necks? Are they such cowards? “Women make themselves as pretty as possible,” he declares, “why not the men also? The master hairdressers of France are awakening to the need of neck treatment which will make it possible for men to show their ne' ks without blushing.” The proposition is worth considering because of the opportunity it offers to regain some of that French good will we are supposed to have lost. If for r.o better reason. Who knows what the American Legion might do to restore and strengthen Franco-American friendship if it were to give the master hair dressers and beauty specialists of Paris a chance to work off its Adam’s apples until it could wear low necked shirts without blushing? Films, Not Facts

Senor Don Miguel Cruchaga Torcornal, ambassador from Chile, to give his full name and title, objects to the way Latin America is pictured in our movies. He doesn’t like the idea of so much serenading by Spanish lovers under iron railed balconies, or of seeing an Argentine gentleman, going to bis wedding in the garb of a bull fighter. The ambassador is absolutely right. Films made to amuse rather than to portray have done a great deal to create false impressions of Latin-America in this country. They have emphasized every sort of absurdity, have paraded the seamy and ridiculous side of life and taught millions to look on Latin-America as a sort of cross between the middle ages and an insane asylum. This, more than anything else, has made it possible for a stupid foreign policy to find favor with a large portion of the American public. Shifting Criminals Irving Black, charged with carrying concealed weapons, has been exiled from New Jersey. Recorder Corio told him if he ever came back to that State he would be sentenced to jail for six months. This is becoming a popular method of punishing offenders whom magistrates lack the courage either to imprison or free, but what sense is there in it? It may be convenient for New Jersey to tell Irving Black or any other delinquent to get out and stay out, but what about the community he selects for his future field of operations? We are not going to solve the crime problem by shunting bums, tramps and criminals from one place to another. It means little to them to be banned from New Jersey, or any other State, but it does mean a lot to the decent people who are thus exposed. What became of Charles I, emperor of Austria and his wife? Charles I died April 2. 1922. His wido vf, the ex-Empress Zita, lives at Le Quieto, a small seaport in Spain on the Bay of Biscay. Where does White River rise, and on which fork is Indianapolis? White River rises near Palestine, Ohio. Indianapolis is located on the main stream. W’hat is the nationality of Nikola Tesla? He was born in Serbia, but is now a naturalized American.

Constance Talmadge Is All ‘Wet’ in Her Comedy Film, ‘Venus of Venice’ By Walter 1). Hickman

It may be said truthfully that Connie Talmadge is all “wet” in “Venus of vlftuce.” Miss Talmadge often finds it necessary in this story to jump into

a canal in Venice and as movie canals are blessed with real water, Constance is naturally' wet every time that she takes a high dive. “Venus of Venice,” is really a crook melodrama with Venice and its canals as the background. Miss Tal.madge is cast as Carlotta, one of j those canal babies, | who. is a corking good pickpocket. She has

nervous fingers which can not be controlled when her eyes become focused upon the fat pocketbook of a man. She is the clever crook until a young American meets her while “boating” in the eanal. Just as some rich jewels belonging to the American are about to become her property, love enters the heart of Carlotta. After she jumps into the canal a few times, we finally see her and the American swimming arm in arm in the canal toward a marriage license bureau. Os course our crook heroines upon tho screen in this sort of a story must be just misguided poor dears who “never had a chance” to trod the straight and narrow. Although Carlotta lives in a junk heap under a bridge or something over the canal, Miss Talmadge generally looks like she lived in a beauty parlor, even when she is coming out of the canal. There arc a couple of nifty little comedy scenes when she stages a quite innocent little nap by the side of the American. It becomes more rapid when the American's wouldbe future wife suddenly arrives on the scene and sees all. And Carlotta remarks that sin# ‘‘just hates women who are supposed to be in New York.” Personally, I like Miss Talmadge, best in smart comedy. To be sure, Miss Talmadge has some chance at comedy in “Venus of Venice,” but the tone of the picture is more melodrama than either farce or comedy. From a photographic standpoint, this one is easy upon the eye. The cast includes Antonio Moreno, Julanne Johnston, Michael Vavitch and others. The winning Vitaphone presentation this week is that offered by Waring’s Pennsylvanians. Here is one of the best orchestras before the public today. It is made up of young men who are good when singing, and they are good musicians who know how to sell their melody. To my way of thinking, Waring and his orchestra has the best Vitaphone presentation so far. Also on the Vitaphone bill is Buddy Doyle, black-face comedian, and Reinald Werrenrath,. baritone.

CwrliM urj Topic for the week, “THE SPIRITUAL STRUGGLE” Sunday, “High Attainment Involves Struggle.” Scripture: Read —Romans 7A4-25. “I delight in the law of God after the Inward man; but I see a different law in my members, warring against the lavy of my mind” (Rom. 7:22-23). “For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit” (Rom. 6:5). “But I buffet my body and bring it into bondage” (I. Cor. 9:17). See—ll. Corinthians 4:16; Ephesians 3:16; Galatians 5:19-21. Meditation: All the rest of nature follows physical instincts unquestionably. In mankind alone is found innate struggle to subject lower Impulses to higher. Because I am “born frorp above” I. may expect conflicting energies. The greater the urge within for the spiritual fruits —love, joy, peace, etc., the greater the struggle until we come to fullness of life. In victory there is joy; in failure penitence leads to, God. “I am myself the miracle of the universe, the violation of the order of nature. I am the only thing in creation which strives with Thee, which needs to be reconciled to Thee.” Hymn: Lord of all being, throned afar. Thy glory flames from sun and star; Center and soul of ev’ry sphere. Yet to each loving heart hos near! Lord of all life, below, above. Whose light is truth, whose w r armth is live; Before Thy ever-blazing throne We ask no luster of our own. Grant us Thy truth to make us free, And kindling hearts that burn for Thee, Till all Thy living altars claim One holy light, one heavenly flame. —Oliver Wendell Holmes, 1848. Prayer: Confession of sins; thanks for the church. Pray for—missionaries. Collect —Almighty Father, whose power knows no limit, let us feel within us the movings of Thy might. We thank Thee for life, marvelous in Its ways. We bless Thee for the world, rich in its wooings of life. We rejoice that Thou art a spirit with whom our spirits may commune, and that Thou hast shown shown forth Thy nature In the Christ, who lives with Thee and with us. We praise Thee for the high privilege of prayer in which spirit blends with spirit. Mercifully forgive us that we have so often chosen the satisfaction of our lower instincts to the impoverishment of the soul. ' Quicken, we pray Thee, our inner awareness of Tee; so shall temptation have no authority over us. Through Thy grace, we engage to walk in all Thy ways. Amen.

Bride,” at the Apollo this week with Lew Cody and Norma Shearer. For some' reason or other Cody does not. have the brilliant love scenes that have i been his in numerV ous stories before. W He sits back and j* ?:* gives most of the picture to Miss f'iK romps through the film with a girlish--Ift ''gmsjSlt ness that would bo . much more con- \ v inclng were it fert but true. She K seems to us as too eager to convince that she is just 0 ' “Sweet Sixteen.” Cody has a role ***’ that does not take much work to Lew Cody play, that is for him. He takes the part of a young, single and wealthy admirer of the feminine sex who spends most of his time in looking for anew female thrill. He slides easily along through life until the little convent girl shows up. She has seen him several times as he was about the school where she had been placed. Os course the girl falls violently in love and succeeds in boring the object of her attentions. Now it ’just happens that at this, time Cody is in love with, the stepmother of the young lady. Through an escapade tho girl is sent home from school and finds Cody there. In her juvenile way she misinterprets his visit to her mother and thinks* that he is there on her account. Here the mix-up starts and there is quite a bit of comedy worked out of the situation when the girl’s father comes home and suspects Cody of making love to his wife. You may rest easy, however, by knowing that everything turns out just ns you would like to have it. And every one is happy ever after. Included on the program are several orchestra features by Emil Seidel and his orchestra, also an “Our Garig” comedy and news reel. At the Apollo all week. (By the Observer.) *

CLARA BOW BECOMES DRAMATIC THIS TIME Clara Bow flashed into popularity by being the most floppy of the flappers. Although she starts out to be a bad little flapper in "Children of Di-

vorce,” she winds up by doing the Dutch act, meaning that she kills herself so that her husband should marry the girl whom he should have married Instead of Clara. There are really two very important players in this movie of the “evils of divorce.” They are Miss Bow and Esther Ralston. Miss Bow is, you know, “my one bad habit,”

Clara Bow

and Miss Ralston is generally the sweat, understanding thing. And she is mighty sweet, suffering and understanding in “Children of Divorce.’’ The story opens in a French convent, where children of divorced and separated parents are sent when young. Here two little orphans of divorce feel the pang and the evils of divorce. When they grow up to be beautiful young girls, the two roles are played by Miss Bow and Miss Ralston. Clara is the gay daughter of divorced parents who was taught from the very beginning that she must marry a rich man In order <0 keep the wolf from her mother’s door. Os course Clara falls honestly in love with the son of a poor nobleman. The other girl, very rich, falls in love with a rich lad. but Clara gets him "pleyed”—flapper language for intoxicated — and

iuJMihmt Further Tips on Playing From Dummy in NoTrump,

The pointer for today is: With Jack-x jn Dummy, and a small card led against a No-Trump, the Jack is frequently the play—but not always. At No-Trump, a small card being led, the play from Jack-x in Dummy is more difficult to decide than the play of King-x or Queen-X. When Jack-x is held, there are more highcard combinations for the Closed Hand to hold, and the cards in the Closed Hand determine which card should be played from Dummy. When the Closed Hand has no card of value, It is immaterial whether the Jack or the small card is played. The leader has not opened small from Ace-King-Queen, so there is no hope of a trick. When the closed hand has Queen-x-x, the Jack should not be played from Jack-x, because, if the small card be played, a trick in the suit is sure: but if the Jack be played, the Third Hand may win with the Ace or King and return the suit through Queen-x In Closed Hand, with the result that the adversaries take every trick in it. When, however, the Jack-x Is held opposite Aeex or Ace-x x (it being remembered that by “x” is meant any card noM higher than a Nine), the situation ill different. The following hand will illustrate this ponit:

With the cards as they happen to lie, the lead of the King of Clubs shout out Dummy’s Jack; but in the long run, when opening against a No-Trump, it is not advisable to lead King from a four, five or six-card King-Queen sit unless a lower, honor is held also. King should be led from King-Queen-Ten, but not from King-Queen-x-x, King-Queen-x-x-x, or even King-Queen-x----x-x.

And so the movie has both a sad and a happy ending. Again true love wins on the screen. Here is movie drama, at times mushy but the cast puts it over in such a human fashion before such exquisite sets, that “Children of Divorce,” becomes high powered drama of a present day evil. You will love Clara Bow even unto death and you will fell mighty sorry for the noble Miss Ralston and you also will be sorry for the long suffering Gary Cooper, who loved one woman, but who was loved by two. Charlie Davis and his gang this week is presenting “Spring Fever.” Bill includes a comedy, “Smith's Customer.” At the Ohio all week.
