Al! rights of republication: of spatial dispatches herein are also reserved. ! : The Visit of Rene Viviani The real object of the visit of Rene "Viviani, former premier of France, to the United States has provoked much speculation. l Some observers of diplomatic affairs say it is a mere act of courtesy, without political or financial meaning', even if it is a formal visit which he will pay to President Harding and Secretary of State Hughes. Some influential newspapers in France and the United States, however, see in his trip to the United States the opening1 of consultations between the French foreign office and Washington regarding the treaty of peace and other topics Closely "'related to it. ' I M. Viviani may have many important subjects about -which he wishes to sound out the standpoint of the new administration. It is held in some quarters that France is not sincere in its advocacy of the league of nations, and favors an alliance of Great Britain, the United States and France, in which England and America, with their fleets, would support the French dominance on the continent. M. Viviani may broach this iubject.;;;V.?;" '- ; ; . ' ' It' is apparent that his informal conferences tyith the American leaders will touch on the Versailles treaty, the objections of the Americans to he league -of nations, the- proposed association of nations, and the: French stand on the reparations question. . l A' clarification of the real French attitude may follow the visit of M. Viviani, as President Harding and Secretary ? Hughes will meet " him with an open mind and a disposition to give a sympathetic hearing to his presentation of the French cause.' . '..;:. ; The. policies of France have been criticized in all the "allied countries and the United States in quarters where it is believed that she is trying to build up a military machine, which,' co-operating with Poland from the east, will make her the dominating power on the continent. Her unflinching stand on the reparations question has been interpreted in .this light. M. Viviani will have opportunity of discussing the French viewpoint on European policies to the American leaders, who will outline and determine the American policy. , Coming as an official representative of the French government, M. Viviani will be able to present the official views of his people to a republic which for many generations has been its warm friend. And, on the other hand, President Harding and his advisers, by reason of the many conferences which they have held with Americans who have studied the European situation, will be able to indicate how we feel on the momentous issues that still remain as a heritage of the

war. Nothing but good can accure to both republics from a candid and open discussion of their respective views with a purpose of co-operating for the speedy restoration of normal conditions in Europe. Both republics have a wide field for profitable cultivation in seeking to revive the economic condition of Europe. Not only, Germany, Poland, Austria and Russia are in the throes of an industrial crisis, but Great Britain, France and Italy are perplexed by grave internal conditions, while about one-eighth of the workers of our own country are idle, or only partly employed. The result of the chaotic condition of Europe, caused by the industrial collapse and the financial aftermath of the war, is seen in the gradual reduction of world trade. So long as these countries are in a state of political and economic unrest, trade relations are disturbed, potential buyers have no money to buy commodities, and the whole basis of prosperity is shaken. What the world needs today is a stabilization of conditions. The great powers of, the world should bend every effort to reach an amicable basis that will restore the normal functioning of trade and business. If France and the United States, as a result of the visit of M. Viviani, can help bring about this consummation, they will have made a notable contribution to the settlement of questions that have arisen since the conclusion of the war.

Kill the Dangerous Fly Now Now is the time to kill the house fly, one of the most undiscriminating and dangerous germ carriers known to medical science, companion of

the malaria-bearing mosquito, the plague-carry

ing rat, and typhus-carrying louse. The fly that makes its appearance now is the progenitor of millions of descendants. One fly

killed now means that thousands will not appear later in the year. An unusually mild winter has

been a boon to the fly. To prevent the develop

ment of swarms of these germ carriers, kill the

flies you see now.

In a bulletin, which the Merchants' associa

tion of New York has issued, is found the de

cision of a Maine court, which decided that the

owners of establishments which do not use vigil

ance in protecting food against flies are liable to

their patrons. Referring to the widespread distribution of germs by the fly, the decision says : "It is a; matter of common knowledge that

the common house fly has come to be regarded

by the enlightened understanding, not only as one of the most annoying and repulsive of in

sects, but one of the most dangerous in its ca

pacity to gather, carry and disseminate the germs of disease. He is the meanest of all scav

engers. He delights in reveling in all kinds of

filth; the greater the putrescence, the more to his taste. Of every vermin, he above all others is least able to prove an alibi when charged with having been in touch with every kind of corruption, and with having become contaminated with the germs thereof. After free indulgence in the cesspools of disease and filth, he then possesses the further obnoxious attribute of being most agile and persistent in ability to distribute the germs of almost every deadly form of contagion."

Two Minutes of Optimism By HERMAN J. STICH

LET'S GET TOGETHER When we were schoolboys we read the poem of the six wise, blind men of Indostan who one day paid a visit to an elephant. You remember that the first put his hand against the elephant's broad and sturdy side and said: "This elephant is very like a wall." The second, feeling of the tusk, said: "This wonder of an elephant is very like a spear." The third, taking the squirming trunk within his hands, said: "The elephant seems very like a snake." The fourth, who happened to feel him about the knee, said: "It is clear enough, the elephant is very like a tree." The fifth, who touched his ear, said: "Even the blindest man can see that this elephant is very like a fan." And the sixth, who was struck by the elephant's swinging tail and caught it, said: "The elephant is very like a rope." The six men, being men, thereafter steadily and steadfastly insisted each that he knew all about elephants, and nobody could tell him anything about them! Now, each, of course, was partly In the right and all were in the wrong. And the point of the poem is, that every one of us is influenced in our views and judgments and acts by observation, experience, environment and circumstances. There was a time, and not so long ago, when some of our leading statesmen declared that the black race was ordained by God to be a race of serfs and slaves, and that it was sacriligious to hold otherfise. It took a four years' bloody war to make them change their minds. Political parties, all of whom presumably desire the welfare of our countfy, are constantly bitterly antagonistic and revile and vituperate against the man or men who will not see or do things according to a particular light. Religious denominations with common aims charity, kindness, forgivenesa have ever been at swords' ends. Christians have even burned their fellowmen at the stake in the name of the God of Love they all worshiped and served. Each of us happens upon a different part of the elephant and each of us promptly thinks he knows it all and damns the fellow who dares to differ! There was an old minister who was making his way along the road through a heavy mist when suddenly he saw something that looked like a monster. He whipped out a gun he happened to be carrying and was about to shoot, when coming near he saw it was a man. And when he came nearer still and they got close together, he saw it was his own brother! So it is today. The workingman and the man he works for, the Republican and the Democrat, the Gentile and the Jew, the Catholic and the Protestant, the Christian and the Mohammedan all are separated by a dense fog of anger, hatred, greed, pride or prejudice each holds he knows all about the elephant and each sees his fellowman as a monster whom he would destroy. What we need is to come nearer to one another to get close together so that we may understand. Then we shall see one another not as monsters, but as brothers of one great family, all of whom want nothing more than to live their lives in peace contentment and happiness.

HAVE PATIENCE. ;My hopes are not disjointed, I do not fuss or fret, though I've not been appointed to any office yet. The postman comes each morning and leaves a stack of duns, conveying threat and warning that he may read who runs, but he has brought no letter that bears the White House seal; ah, well. I'm riot a fretter, I make no plaintive spiel. I know that Brother Harding has many things to do, old furniture dis-

crowds have capered, the stairways must be stained. But when such are ended, and everything's all right, I look for something splendid the softest snap in sight. For I stood up for Harding when he had little fame; I said fine things regarding that statesman and his game. 'Twas I, the present yawper, discovered Warren G., and it seems only proper that he discovers me. But I'm a patient duffer, and I can twirl my thumbs, and watch and wait and suffer, till my appointment comes. v

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adam, Author "of "You Can," "Take It"

A DOQ We met one day, as a dog and man sometimes will. I guess he was a little linely, for he looked up quickly at my word and Bort of snapped his eyes in acknowledgement, trotting just a little aster to keep up. Then he wagged his tail! That was his way of talking. We came to a lovely tree and we both sat down. I told him all about my day, described a few of my dreams and outlined many of my plans. He was all intent, and his little half-bark and the tossing of his nose were but his way of saying to go on and "tell me some more." Then he wagged his tail! The breeze was blowing softly about us. There was the fragrance of rare perfume from nature's own laboratories. And there was movement everywhere as each separate item of the air and-earth told its own story of existence. I asked my dog friend if he understood these evidences of man's right to the earth and its gifts. Somehow he couldn't find words to express what he thought. But Then he wagged his tail! We talked of books, of men and women, of discoveries, of inventione, of the way we had lived and hadn't lived, of children, of babies, of trees for which we have such a fondness, of art and the sciences, of many of the mysteries and unknowns in the world, of those who had passed from our life some never to return, of the splendidness of aspiration which even the poorest may know if he will. And my dumb friend who was only dumb in word-expression answered in a dozen languages and in a .score of mannerisms that meant more to me than the most finished tongue. Then he wagged his tail! I have often wished that many of those whom I have met from time to time might have the understanding and heart that some dogs have. I have thought how wonderful it would be if they could Just have the understanding that the tail of a dog has!

SUBSCRIBER. Please tell me in j-our questions column why the harp is on the Irish flag. An early standard of Ireland has three golden crowns on a blue field, and arranged over each other are the English lions, and a commission appointed in the reign of Edward IV to inquire what really were the arms of Ireland, reported in favor of the three crowns. The early Irish coinage bears the three crowns upon it, as do the coins of Henry V and his successors. Henry VIII substituted the harp on the coins but neither crowns nor harps nor any other device for Ireland appears in the Royal Standard until the reign of James I. In the Harlein M.

In the old prize-fighting days one of the best-known men of the fancy in south London was a stutterer. Having beaten most of his local contemporaries he sighed, a fistic Alexander, for more world's to conquer. Eventually an opponent was brought for him from the Midlands. He proved to be a miner, who also suffered from a vocal impediment. There were long-drawn-out .pour-parlers for the match, but when everything was finally ar

ranged the South Londoner shook hands and remarked to his opponent: "And If y-y-you c-c-cannot f-f-figbt b-b-better than you c-c-can t-t-talk, it's a w-w-walk-over for me." "I can tell you one thing," said Mrs. Umson, "and that is, Mts. Armsley is not much of a housekeeper." "I thought her place looked all right," Umson defended. "Well I noticed one thing you did not. The papers on her pantry shelves were dated 1915."
