NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS — Senate Votes U. S. Into the World Court, but With Strong Reservations. By EDWARD W. PICKARD । T) Y A vote of 76 to 17 the senate has ' decided that the United States shall adhere to the permanent court of international justice, better known as the world court. Thus the long | fight over this question has come to ‘ an end and the administration forces ; have triumphed with the assistance of all but three of the Democratic senai tors. However, it is a modified vicI Tory for the proponents of the world I court, for America’s entry is so । hedged about with reservations that it i may be many months or even years j before it actually is a member, and I there is no certainty that it will ever be a party to a case before the tribunal. In the first place, it Is provided that all other member nations must accept the American reservations, and the process of obtaining these acceptances may be a long one. Refusal by any one nation, no matter how insignificant, invalidates the senate action. Then—and this is especially Important —one of the reservations provides that recourse to the court for the settlement of difficulties between the United States and any other state can be had only by agreement through a treaty between the parties in dispute. Since every treaty is subject to sen- ' ate ap[ -oval, this means that no cause I Involving the United States can be submitted to the court without the approval of the senate by a two-thirds vote. Five other reservations were adopted almost unanimously by the senate, as follows: That adherence to the world court I “shall not be taken to Involve any legal relation on the part of the United States to the League of Nations or the assumption of any obligations by the United States under the treaty of Versailles.” Permitting the United States to participate In the council and assembly of the League of Nations equally with all other nations in the election of judges of the world court. That the United States should pay a fair share of the world court’s expenses bj’ congressional appropriation. That the United States may at any time withdraw from the world court and that the statute of the court shall not be amended without the consent of the United States. That the court shall render no advisory opinion, except publicly and i after due notice to all states adhering to the court and after opportunity for I hearing any state concerned, and that I the court shall not, without the conj sent of the United States, entertain I any request for any advisory opinion touching any dispute or question In i which the United States has or claims I an Interest. These reservations were put in their I final shape by Democratic leaders and John Bassett Moore, the present \ American judge in the world court. All others which were offered by opponents of the resolution were reject- . ed. It is worth while recording the names of those who voted against the ; resolution on the final ballot. They were: Republicans: Borah. Brookhart. Fernald, Frazier, Harreld, Johnson. I.a Follette, Moses, Nye, Fine, Robinson (Ind.), Schall, Watson and Williams. Democrats: Blease, Reed (Mo.). Farmer-Labor: Shlpstead. Just before the final vote was taken Senator Johnson of California had a last word to say, a dramatic warning to his colleagues that they were tak--1 Ing the first step into the League of Nations, altering the traditional poli- ■ ?les of the United States, and “cutting ' loose to sail on an uncharted sea.” Senator Borah leader of the opposition to the world court, declares the fight has only begun and that he and his associates Intend to launch a movement at once to get the country out of the court and will make this an issue in the election of senators next Aged Empire Builder Applies for Pension Denver.—Colorado friends of Dick Rutledge, last survivor of Kit Carson’s famous band of Indian scouts, who now lives in Denver, are trying to have congress pass a special act granting him a pension so that he may pass his led Inf ng years In comfort.

T_T AVING disposed of the world *■* court matter, the senate on Thursday began consideration of the tax reduction bill, which was made its unfinished business so that it could be kept continuously before the chamber. Chairman Smoot of the finance committee hopes to have the measure passed by February 10, but certain of the western senators have promised a long fight against the provisions for repeal of the Inheritance tax and of publicity for income tax payments. Norris of Nebraska has offered an amendment providing that returns “shall be open to examination and inspection as other public records under the same rules and regulations as may govern the examination of public documents generally.” The effect of this would be not only to permit public inspection of amounts paid by taxpayers. but also to throw the returns, which at present are secret documents, open to any one desirous of perusing them. WITH only three votes against It, the administration Haugen measure establishing a co-operative marketing division in the Department of Agriculture was passed by the bouse. The big fight in congress Is over the Dickinson farm surplus bill. Experts are far apart in their opinions of the wisdom of this measure. Such agriculturists as Frank O. Lowden are warm In approval, while many trade economists, notably John W. O'Leary. | president of the Chamber of Coin- । merce of the United States, feel that I It Is In effect a price fixing measure and would prove disastrous to those whom It is Intended to benefit. Representatives of the eleven states that compose the corn belt met tn Des Moines Thursday to formulate a relief plan designed to place agriculture on a money-making parity with manufacturing and business enterprises. This plan embraces three main features: An export corporation to dispose of surplus agricultural products; provision by congress for a federal farm board to stabilize agriculture and put It on a parity with other business; removal of the pure food law discriminations against corn sugar. An executive committee of two from each of the eleven states was named to draft the plan into a measure and to push its passage in congress. TERRIFIC gales swept the north Atlantic last week and all the ■ liners were delayed. The storm took its toll of lives when the British freighter Laristan foundered off Halifax. twenty-five members of her crew being drowned. Another British freighter, the Antinoe, was disabled by the tremendous seas and the United States liner President Roosevelt, commanded by Captain Fried, stood by for four days, making repeated efforts to save the crew of twenty-five. The heroic work of Fried and his men was finally successful, though two of the rescuers lost their lives. Capt. Herbert Hartley of the Leviathan said the gale was the worst he had seen in thirty years. PRESIDENT COOLIDGE formally approved the court-martial sentence of Col. William Mitchell, but changed it so the colonel should receive half pay and his allowances “during the pleasure of the President.” Two days later Colonel Mitchell resigned from the army, and it was believed his resignation would be accepted. It is understood Mitchell will go on the lecture platform to continue his campaign for development of aviation, but many persons believe he will find it difficult, as a civilian, to hold the public interest. Chancellor luther presented to the German reichstag the names of his new cabinet members and an outline of their policies, but was met with glum silence except for the howling of Communist deputies. The Nationalists objected to his omission of the conditions they demand as the price of Germany’s entry Into the League of Nations. The Socialists were disappointed by the vagueness of his reference to German membership in that body. They were also annoyed still more by his rejection of a popuellglble for a pension unless special legislation provides for him. In appearance the eighty-year-old plainsman is almost the double of the late Buffalo Bill, his co-scout. Like Colonel Cody, Rutledge has flowing locks, sweeping mustache and goatee.

Doctor Luther issued an ultimatum to the warring factions, demanding a vote of confidence for his government. He made more definite his recommendation of membership tn tiie League and thereby gained the silent support of the Socialists, but even so It was evident that the fate of tiie cabinet hinged on the chance absence of a very few deputies. The reichstag gave Luther his vote of confidence by 160 to 150, those who abstained from voting numbered 131. mostly Socialists. This slight major Ity was obtained only after President von Hindenburg had threatened to dissolve the reichstag if opposition continued. Wednesday was the sixty seventh birthday of the former kaiser, and the Berlin Fascists who celebrated the an nKorsary engaged in a sanguinary bat tie with the Communists wiio were burning Wilhelm In effigy.

On Thursday Belgium paid formal tribute to the memory of her beloved primate and the king as chief mourner walked through the streets of Brussels after the coffin while minute guns boomed and massed army bands played funeral marches. With King Albert marched Prince Leopold. the heir apparent, and Marsha! Foch, generalissimo of the allied armies In the war; and In the long procession were the diplomatic repre sentatives of many nations. Services were held in the Cathedral of St. Michel and St. Gudu’e where the body of the prelate rested on a magnificent catafalque. Un Friday the body was taken back to Malines and buried with great pomp beneath the altar of the Cathedral there. ITALY, by what some correspondents describe as strong arm methods In volving threats against peace In the Near East, has persuaded Great Britain to grant her very easy terms In the funding of her war debt —better terms than were obtained from the United States. Count Volpi and Winston Churchill have signed the agreement by which the Italian debt is settled for about one sixth of its value. Premier Mussolini and his govern ment are being roundly abuseri by the Germans for their repressive measures in south Tyrol, where they are deter mined to Italianize the German in habitants. The latest decree orders the Italianlzatlon of all German family names that were originally Italian. TWO Spanish aviators started last week from near Cadiz to fly In a seaplane to Buenos Aires, Argentina, and before this reaches the reader they may have accomplished the feat. Their first hop took them to the Canary Islands, and from there they flew to the Cape Verde Islands. The next hop was to be 1,432 miles to Fernando Noronha Island, or possibly 275 miles further to Pernambuco. FRANCE believes that investigation of the great French franc forgeryplot In Hungary will reveal that It can be traced to German monarchist sources, and therefore Premier Briand demanded that French officials should be permitted to participate In the police cross-examinations of the plotters, among whom are princes, nobles and high politicians. The Hungarian government made a show of yielding reluctantly, but the well informed said that the incident was really a victory for Premier Count Bethlen. since it afforded him an opportunity to bring about a full exposure of the conspiracy without incurring blame from the extremists who have been seeking to unseat hhn.

SLEEPING SICKNESS "PROM time to time the newspapers x in different parts of the country tell of Isolated cases of "sleeping sickness.” What attracts the attention of the newspaper men, as well as of the people in the community, is that some person has "slept” for an unusual and, in some cases, an extraordinary long period. No matter what the condition of the patient or the cause of this condition, it is immediately dubbed “sleeping sickness.” Now the professional man knows that this term may be used to designate any abnormally long period of sleep or long continued period of unconsciousness from any one of many different causes. There is, in the tropics, a real disease called sleeping sickness, due to a tropical infection but that disease is never seen in this country. There may also be unconsciousness, caused by I many forms of meningitis or infection j and inflammation of the covering mem- | brane or “meninges" of the brain. This I may follow infection by influenza, typhus, measles, mumps, pneumonia or scarlet fever. Long continued uncon- | s< iousness may be caused by brain ' tumors or in the last stages of Bright's disease. Then there are strange and । mysterious cases in which none of l these causes Is present but where the ! patient, without being unconscious, , sleeps for an amazingly long time, rousing from time to time but soon falling to sleep again. In a recent article in the Journal of the Amerh an Medical Association, Dr. I William Browning, a wMI known neurologist of Brooklyn, n-ports 2s cases which he has observed and makes the , very interesting comment that each one of these patients was. nt the time , of the attack, exhausted by prolonged and ex<-essive overwork and had been running a long time on a scanty allowance of sleep. In a word, they had been ovtrworking and undersleeping. His history of these cases shows how ! many of ns are starving ourselves for ! sR-ep and how many are the ways, today. in which the Ixaly cun be kept : on short rations of sleep. < >ne man of fifty five was very regular in his habits amt “never went out [ nights.” But his son said he "sat up . all hours of the night with a new rai dio.” A boy of twelve was overworking to keep up his school work. A ; young man of seventeen was drilling I one night a week with his regiment, bowling one night until after midnight, spending two nights with his girl and going to business > hoo) two nights. This left him one free night a w.ok for sleep. Every one of the twentyeight patients was regularly cutting down his sleep to an entirely insufficient amount. Physicians and nurses, for obvious reasons, are particularly subject to this condition. Sleep is the one physical need we 1 can get without cost. Regardless of j special cases, we need eight hours of , sleep every night. If you don't get it, ' you are going to suffer. MILKING BY MACHINERY TT 1 MAN life and human effort sometimes seem to be about the cheap- ’ est commodities there are on the mar- ! ket. But careful study of any method . of production will show that machine । labor is always cheaper than hand I lalior. In the old days back on the farm, there was one job that was always done by hand no matter howmuch machinery the farmer owned. That was milking the cows. Not only that but it was firmly believed that it was one job that always would be done by hand. Just as in another line of industry type setting was always done by hand. For years, the idea of machines that would set type or milk cows was regarded as a joke. “That is something that only fingers can ever do.” Yet for years past, most of the type has been set and much of the milking has been done by machinery. Many farmers still contend that the human hand is (he best ami most effective milking machine to be found. This has been the subject of much discussion in farm journals and at farmers' institutes. The agricultural department of the University of Illinois decided to find out tlu? truth. So two experts compiled the cost records from 66 Illinois farms for six years. The results have recently been published and commented on In the Prairie Farmer. The report shows that it takes more time and costs more to milk by hand than by machinery. Figuring on the basis of one cow for one year, it was found that it required 133 hours of hand labor but only 81 hours of machine labor, a saving of 52 hours per cow per year. Naturally, the larger the number of cows, the greater the saving. Regarding expense, figuring labor at the rate of 17^ cents per i hour, it cost 823.44 to milk a cow by hand for one year and $18.64 per year to milk a cow’ by machinery. The only way that hand labor could be put on the same scale as machine labor was by estimating hand labor at 8% cents an hour and farm labor today cannot be secured at that price. । Regarding cleanliness, either was ; equally good, provided hands, machine, buckets, strainers and other utensils were kept clean.
