SOVIET RUSSIA IS MENACE TO WORLD, SAYS CIVIC BODY

NEW YORK, .March 29. The National Civic Federation of which Judge Alton B. Parker is president, having a membership of men and women prominent la all forms of public and political endeavor, in a statement tonight came out strongly ln'bpposftlon to recognition of soviet Russia. The statement, signed by more than 300 persona whose names are nationally known will be sent to President Wilson. ' -r It declares that the people of the United States "can not consent to admit into the family of nations or in any other way countenance this government of 'violence and terror There must be no compromise between sovereign democracy and Russian Bolshevism." The declaration follows. In part: "We believe that recognlton of soviet Russia would be a repudiation of all that our national life has represented for' 150 years and of all the ideals for which modern civilizations has striven for 2,000 years. Intrigue Centers Feared. "With the recognition of the soviet regime, the presence of an ambassador and consular agents- enjoying -Infinities (each a center, of intrigue), the propaganda of the Lehine-TroUky regime against civilization already workings through .so! many radical , and pseudo-liberal organizations, and recently augmented by an endless stream of inspired press stories from Moscow and Petrograd, would be further ramified and dangerously extended. It is their declared Intention, first to undermine and then to gain control of the organized labor unrest, the stimulation of 'strikes of protest' 'into general political strikes and then into revolutionary mass action for the conquest of the state.' Thus we have In

our own country waging deadly and underground warfare against us an enemy more dangerous and with objects infinitely more far reaching and inimical than was imperial Germany with her host of agents and spies. ' "We, therefore, believe that the people of the United, States, acting through their government at Washington, should now, once, and for all, declare that they can not consent to admit into the family of nations or in any other way countenance this 'government' of violence and terror. "There must be no compromise between American democracy and Russian Bolshevism."

Chinese Cemetery Gives Nohle Expression of The Great Mystery of Death (Nathanel Peffer in Scrieber's Magazine.) The graveyard at Chu-Fu (Shantung) is a noble expression of the dignity and mystery of death; it is impossible to think of a western cemetery, with western profusion and over decoration and easy symmetries that has touched its heights. It lies a mile from the city gate. Leading to it from the gate is a broad avenue of trees spanned half way by a stone arch of exquisite carving and majestic lines. The graveyard proper really a park within which any member of the K'ung clan, descendants of Confucius) may be buried -whether scholar or coolie, is inclosed in a pink wall. Within that wall is the spell of the infinite. On thin, eerie trees that lean rather than stand, lean rigidly and reverently, things of a twilight world never planted by the hand of man, lies the mood of death. Under them are

scattered the stones and tablets I

marking the passing of seventy-seven generations. At the farther end of j the park is another wall, behind which j are the tombs of Confucius his son,! and his grandson. The mound of i

Confucius Is just that; a piling up of!

earth before which are a stone altar, a tablet inscribed with six Chinese characters, a stone urn flanked by two bronze candlesticks; along its sides are a few trees, and around It shrubbery. That is all. It Is the simplicity of the sublime. One need not be a Chinese to bow the head. That graveyard could stand alone as the masterpiece of a race and in itself mark that race as one that had added to mankind. Family Temple Found And then then one finds the small family temple near it littered with manure, the wall of a pavilion erected for mediation broken down, stone seats rocking uncertainly, the scars of ruin everywhere. And one knows that the K'ung family has enormous holdings of valuable property, that the government remits the taxe3 on much ot the property, and that appropriations are periodically made for the maintenance and repair of the cemetery; and that the rich heads of the family have kept nearly all of what the officials have not squeezed. And there Is a sweep f bitterness and disgust that the corruption that eats ? through the whole texture of life in 'China would have gnawed so deep as this. Here is all that remains of him. these people know as God; here are the men of his blood, raised above all others of their nation because of that; and it is Impossible not to believe calloused to all decent appeal a peo-

ECONOMY

"Conserving," "Economy" and "Thrift" are the present-day watchwords and well they may be! Are you conserving your health? Are you economical in buying treatment for disease? You should be! It your stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels and blood are not right In every sense, you should at once begin a treatment to restore good, healthy conditions. Sulphur, cream, of tartar and herb extracts In a sugar-coated form, called Sulpherb Tablets Is 'the surest relief that Is economical. Get them in sealed tubes from druggists. Sulpherb Is the name not "sulphur." Mrs. J. J. De vlin, 518 W. 162nd St., New York City, writes. "I would also like to say I find your Sulpherb Tablets O.

"Black-Faced" Watches Can Move Locomotive Electrical Experimenter If you own a radium-dial watch with luminous figures and hands, then you are the possessor of a vast power plant of no mean proportions. ' There is sufficient radium on your watch dial

to haul your train homeward if it could be properly applied. As the matter stands the innocentlooking radium dial does not seem to possess any extraordinary amount of concentrated energy, but this Is only apparently the case, and not actually ro. for the reason that while the amount of activity manifested by the radium paint on the dial is small, this effect will keep up for 2,500 years.

provided the tine Bulphlne, with which the radium is mixed so as to produce a glow, held out that long. The sine sulphide In most cases gives out in about eight or ten years. Now, if we could but find a way to make the radium release all its energy in a few hours, instead of spreading It over 2,500 years, it would not be difficult to make a motor that would utilize the energy.

The difficulty of shooting at an airplane is very great, but it is likely to be hit by a new anti-aircraft projectile which is made in many parts, linked together, and these expand into a large ring as they pass through the air, until they cover a large area. Some part of it is likely to catch the 'plane at which It is aimed.
