APRIL 10. 1920. THE GERMAN-RUSSIAN 'AMBASSADOR." If any meddling foreigner df-MTVfs exportation, it is probriMy Iulwi C. A. K. Martens, the "Sovi't ftmb;ibs;i(lor" frfm Iu-T.i:i. A.s the representative of the Ler.lne Kovrrunent, which the United States has never recognized, Mortons of course has no official diplomatic standing. His explanation that his presence in America was solely for the r urpese cf encouraging trido with Russia has been proved fale. The department of ju.Uice accuses hirr. of navinff been enfraped from the tirt in revolutionary activity intended to arouse American Tted.s to violent ac:ion for the; overthrow of our government. His he adquarter have been a center of boljhe1st propaganda. More than this, Martens is dt-clared not to be a Itusfiian at nil, but a German subject masquerad inpr under fab-o colors. That a German should enpraffe In Fuch nefarious vork a.- the tool of the Ienine-Trotzky regime only adds to his offense. There will bo general approval of the government's demand that he be expelled from the country.

MOTHERS A Nif LOCACTVlCE CONDITIONS. Something about Tan Isle's adiress before the Mothers' club at the Lincoln school. Wednesday, perhaps ought to be said if for no other rea"on than becau.se It revives some unpleasant recollections. Ho recommended resort to the injunction as one means of eradicating the brothel and the boozy joint, and it is v.ell that he made it to mother?; Toothers too of n district like that o the Lincoln school. In gome other sections of the:U Hixro are mctliers with husbands, who. despile tl ir social, financial, and even churchilied rexVtTb'iiltV. profit too well from these vice connections, to justify anticipations of their a Tgresivenes-in mhIi a campaign, once the facts are to them made known. Happily the mothers of the Lincoln district are In the main of that great middle class since society has taken to measuring respectability by decrees of wealth. whose husbands own little or no downtown or other property available for vice purposes, hut who are still the heart and soul of every community; of whom Lincoln .aid, "God must love them," mothers of the common people, best, "because He ha.s made so many of them." An organization of such mothers, would indeed, be u powerful force for pood, particularly when they cet the ballot, already c;uite assured them lor the next municipal election, at least. though meanwhile, extending a moral support, back of a law enforcement program, whether by injunction, or otherwise, they might have appreciable influence. The proposed injunction process is not entirely new to South l.cnd. Pros. Schwartz tried it or the bootleggers, and heavens, what support he received! Ürousht to the attention even of the Ministerial association, there, Instead of backing him up in the interests of public morality, certain of the members seem to have greatly pref rred to follow the advice of the administration's raft collector?, with whom they immediately went Int.") confprenrc. Assuredly the word of a pet ty fouling, police court lawyer, and profiteer from vice cases, generally recognized as the ot'ieial holder of the bawdy-house and hootlcpryins: concessions, ought to take better with clergymen than u public otJieial. who Ls' trying tp do his duty particularly if that pubhc ofbcinl should happen not to he of the political faith of such clergymen, and the clergymen of the same political faltn ns the city administration upon whb'h a law enforcement program might ca-st unwanted reflections. The mothers, we anticipate, should tiny undertakethe- work suggested to them, will b- more womanly about it than the clergy has been at thrt least. And the term "womar.lv" is not used in any offensive sense. "Womanliness in more instances than n million, has been, when dealing with questions of morals, infinitely more manly than some brands of manliness. Not half the story of iouth Ilend's vice .'nd itnmoralili s was told by Mr. lyle. and woman unlnllwer.ced by man, would, once understanding the situation, r ..t stand tor it for a minute. It is iu dealing with such conditions as this, quite as Mrs. Georpe Has of ('hloairo. put it when addressing the b. al Franchise le.itruo recently, th.it woman will do her nest work Intolerant as she will be of the misuse of public trists reposed in public cfT.cials. More mothers clubs should hear th story told ly Mr. Pyle at the Lincoln school, and mre mothers hculd interest thenistlve in the conditions with which their grow in-.: children are surrounded. They should fbe taught to cr.sider alo, that it is not alone the vices complained of, but the commercialization of thoe vices, pronud from ly men generally regarded as eminently respectable, that gives them their foothold, and too often protects them irom the otlieial hai.d. We reed a little of the "white life for two" sentiment, pumped into the lie arts of the mothers, wives .-.r.d daughters of e men and a. considerable mure of it pumped into the heart of we men. Of our im politics to expose immoul con-

dltion. unwanted in the commur.it', t9 the dicredit of our city administration an exponure of r-eiMin? conditions dosl Will the mothers Jo n th g. o. p clergy in the assurni lion of that atiitule, or will they riae abov it. on the premise that it is at least good politics, BUperlor to tacit approval of those conditions by knowing and not exposing and oppoMntr them. It remains to be peen how far th mothers will go. They ssked for the Information, and received it. They have it in their power to compel correction of the conditions complained of if they will.

The Tower of Babel By BILL ARMSTRONG

THE SEPARATE PEACE. The ho us of representatives having fat on the fenc and watched the senatorial peace embroaclio pass by, has now, by virtue of the asininity of the roaj'S-lt.y, undertaken to see what it can do. The senfite being weary cf the whole business, and having a great deal of politics to look after, is perfectly willing that 'he house should take the initiative, tind deppoil itself with equal ignomy. Anything it seems, to present an apparently solid, anti-ad-mlnlf-tration front. Some senators and representatives talk confidently oi "-pence by resolution," but the majority seem duIous. It is not so simple a thing for congress to make peace as for it to declare war. There are questions of constitutionality that would surely be raised concerning a resolution pronouncing the war at an end. If the possibllty of a constitutional resolution for that purpose is conceded, there is the practical difficulty of writing a provision that would be binding on Germany and preserve the German penalties and the American rights guaranteed in the Versailles treaty. If that obstacle is surmounted, there is the further practical difficulty of getting such a resolution past the president. Mr. Wilson, it is believed, would certainly veto it. Gould congress thfii muster thetwo-thirds vote nc essrjry to pass it over his veto? Lack of all these objections is the question of public; sentiment. The American public In its pre--nt mood sems not disposed to samtion a separate peace with (iermany, no matter how that peace might be arranged. It is remem iered that each of the allies was pledeed not to make a separat' I ace; and though the Fnlted States gave no formal pledge to that c Meet, there is a general fee! in-.: that the principle i morally binding on this country, and that by patching things up with Germanv separately, we should be guilty of shamefully deserting our war partners. What th'.s nation wants is au honorable peace obtained by ratification of the treaty already r.itilied unreservedly by nil the othe,- n mies of Germany. And that Is probably what the nation will get, sooner or later.

PITTING Tili: PAPITIt SHOItT-

April S, 1 '.:(. Mr. J. M. Stephenson. Publisher News-Times, City. Dear Mr. Stephenson: As it 1 much easier for me to give advice than to work. I have been making a careful study of the pspr situation, and believe I am in position to suggest a few methods by which quite a little paper can be conserved, and then used up later on the Bob Jones revival. In the- first place, I believe I would follow the suggestion made sometime ago to hire boya to carry signboards about the city, on which the unimportant news could be pasted upon. The. boys should be provided with large bells, which they would ring furiously, crying out in a loud and unseemly manner: "Nice fresh news today." The front windows of the office could also be used fot some of our advertisers, who are inclined to be a bit touchy about position. You could sell positions as follows: (a) Next to and immediately under office clock; (b Middle and top of window; (c) Next to door anil surrounded by poor reading matter. I am also advocating a sweeping reform for use in our editorial department, viz: the use of slates and pencils for the editorial department. This might also be a practical idea to be installed in the advertising department except for -the fact thai occasionally I run in contact with a person, or persons, who would rile me to the extent of me hanging my slate over their bend and fitting it down oti their shouders. You can see therefore, that this might prove an expensive proposition if put into effect with the advertising solicitors. In this case about the only thing you could do would be to keep a wagon load oi slates out in front of our office, but It would perhaps prove a sort of a nuisance in a way. Imagine me calling the oilier, excitedly, as follows: "Send the Magon to Max Adler'.immediately with cinnt extra strong slates. I have just bested one Vn Mtlx's bean, but I think be will recover. Hush those' slate's, because he still shows some tight."

corrections in the nctes on the slate. The boys with the sponges would necessarily have to keep very close lo the reporters at all times, or complications might develope. Imagine our Mr. Cooper gravely Interview

ing Mayor Carson and discovering . that he had misquoted him on his slate, and discovering at the-, same time that his sponge boy wars miss-2 lng. About the only thing Mr. ,

Cooper could do in a case like that would be to go ahead and mLsquote Mayor Carson.

Another means of conserving paper would be to let me go around each day to the ad ertisera and allow them to clip their add out of the copy of the paper in my custody. Advertisers now receive an individual copy of our paper, and you can plainly see that we. could save a great many papers In' this manner. Where advertisements happened to be on each side of the paper, one advertiser could use the copy of his add during the morning and the one on the other side could use it in the afternefon. The advertisers could draw cuts to see which one would enjoy the use of the advertisement during the morning, and the loser could use It during the afternoon. In case Joe Schein incer of the Grand Leader is the advertiser, dice may be substituted. Throwing a pair of sixes could be made tt entitle Mr. Scheininger to use the copy of th add throughout the day.

STANDARDIZED LOAVES. A bill under consideration in the New Je:.-ey h-ir-islature would fix standard weights fer luavs of bread thnuighout the state. All bread, whether tor wholesale or retail trade, wovibl be divided inf three groups. Loaves in these groups should weigh respectively one pound, one and one-half pound-' and two pounds avoifelupois. This has a familiar ring le it. During war d..ys housewives became reutely aware id" the fact that a 10-cent loaf of bread was a variable object. In different cities, and in different bakeries in he satin city, the loaves were found tet have a wide range so far as quantity we nt. In some places reulatf ens were pased requiring leakers lo turn out uniform loaves and to charge within certain limits for bread of certain weights.' The New Jersey departm nt of. we ights and measures is backing the bill as introduced in the legislature. It is a sc risible proposal. The demand for standarelized containers for fruits tmd berries is growing. Many vegetables and fruits are already sold by the pound, with much greater satisfaction te the consumer, llread and eggs need to be put on some such sane system, too, if the purchaser is to receive a fair return for Iiis money evefy time he buvs.

no niiiid to lwr.i; Kansas. ( DcarlMTii Inelc'iH'iulcnt.) The fact that Gov. Alien and the Kansas Court ef Industrial Relations continue to draw fire from editorial, special, and magazine writers, is not without promise in these hours of darkness. Scarce -lv a day pnses that does not bring forth in daily press and monthly periedieal some bit of comment t the effect that all eyes are turned em Kansas. These comments range in tone all the way from mere dispassionate interpretation to high eulogy. Kxccp.t for what Is te be found in the labor press, admittedly ippesd to the plan on general principles. there is to be found in all these varying comments not one single note of unfavorable critie ism. Nor is the reason for this general approval of the proposed Kansas method of settling laber disputes difficult to find. It lies undoubtedly in the fact tb.it our political government, state and national. ha.s found itself utterly unable to cope with the situation. Our method of dealing with these disputes in the past, and the state has ever been reluctant to tske part in them, has been to report either to arbitration or te the machine gun. And except for army officers who aspire to promotions, or political lenders who seek to ingratiate themselves with the more peewrrful interests, the machine gun method of settling lator disputes is nowhere in favor. Machine guns settle nothing; they merely show that one party to the controversy is stronger than the other; an 1 that the weaker party must bide its time or try to a xe-rt its power In another direction. The injustice, the real seed of the conflict, remains. And. as Uov. Allen maintains, the arbitration method has inherent weaknesses. This plan results i.t the worst, when the decision goes strongly against one or the other of the two contending parties, in complete rejection of the decision of the board. And nt best It ends in a compromise, "split-tini.-the elifference." from which both parties mertre as victors; what is gained by the parties nt dispute being extracted from an entirely Inno cent ard helpless public? It is precisely the fact that in the Kansas Court of Industrial Relations the public is represented, and that it is no longer to be made the goat which has attracted nation-wide attention to this new departure In settling industrial disputes. Kansas may yet give us the thine we have looked for so long.

NANCY. The quaintly demur name of Nancy v.nicu ot come into great vogue i.i modern i.mes. signifies "grace." There was a period iu her evolution, when Nancy tell Into efisuse. er -was bestowed jts a homely uninspired veignonun particularly indigenous to mal ceemniunities. Hut Nancy's day has come; she is fashionai'ie and exceedingly pb-asant to pronounce. Nancy's origin Ii s in the Hcbrew Chaanach. signifying "mercy or grace" and her earliest preuninent forbear was Hannah. niedrer oi Samuel. Hut Hannah is a harsh name- because of its aspirate initial iei the process of evedution carried the' original word through the successive steps of Anna. Ann-, and finally arrived at Nan. It seems curious thai Nan was the forerunner of Nancy instead ef being a contraction of the latter name; indeed It is one of the few such instances occuring in etymological records. Nannie. which is Nancy's diminutive, inellgenous to Scotland, though much used in F.ngland. Nancy is Annot iu the fruiter country.

There is even a Dutch form of Nancy Naatje. anel Nairn and Nanneli are popular in Sv. 'tzerlanel. Amber is Nancy's 'alLniai.ic gem.
