"TTIE weather bureau, matching
science against tradition, tells
us the old theory that the equinox
brings storms in its train is full of
holes. That there may he storms
on or near the equinox it admits;
but when that happens, It says. It
Is a coincidencenot a case of
cause and effect.
The scientists are doubtless right. I
They usually are. But those who
were out in yesterday's rain, which.!
according to the weather bureau, I
was only a coincidence, got Just as

the equinox.
JJE It DIN AND Foch, marshal or
France, the commander who led
the allied armies to. victory in the
world war, Is dead dead In his
78th year. We mourn, mourn sin
cerely, because a great man is gone.
But death Is Inexorable. The
great of this earth, as well as the
small, pass on. When a truly great
man dies, it seems for the moment
that the loss we have suffered Is
irreparable. But that is not true.
Other great men arise to take the
place of those who are gone.
The world moves on toward
what ultimate goal we do not know.
TJJITH the victorious armies of
Germany sweeping forward, ap
arently Irresistibly, upon Paris,
Foch, on September 9, 1914, sent
this memorable message to Gen
eral Joffre: "Sly right is crushed.
My left Is In retreat. I am attack
ing with my center."
He attacked with his center and
stopped the German advance dead
in its tracks. Paris was saved. The
German dream of world dominion
was shattered.
A leader less truly great would
have hesitated in the face of over
whelming odds. Foch did not hesi
tate, did not falter. The results
speak for themselves.
Leadership is a thing of tremen
dous importance In this world.
pOCH is gone. What shall we do
without him? What will France
do without him? What If another
emergency, comparable to that at
the Marne, should arise?
These are grave questions, but
Ihey are capable of being answer
ed, and answered reassuringly. The
pages of history provide the an
swer. . Washington was a preat leader,
and his death seemed an epochal
loss. Could the nation he founded,
deprived of his guidance, meet an
emergency comparable to the Revo
lution? It could, and did. In the emer
gency of the Civil war, Lincoln
arose.
PRANCE is bowed in grief today,
because of the loss of her great
leader, and the world grieves with
her. But it is personal grief. It Is
not tinged with fear for the future.
Humanity, which is greater than
any individual. Is sufficient for its
own needs.
IJOOVER pledges federal aid to
the Western states in which
public land is withheld from taxa
tion. That is good news out here
in the West.
It Is particularly good news be
cause Hoovers is the type of mind
that can determine intelligently
what is needed In the way of fed
eral aid. Determining intelligently
what is needed is the first step to
ward bringing effective aid.
X17HAT Is needed, first of all. Is
" an accurate survey of the facts.
How much land Is thus withheld in
the Western states? What is Its
value? How much revenue are tne
Western states losing by reason of i
their inability to tax public lands?
"What off-sets are they getting in
the way of highway and other ap
propriations? Are the public lands, including
the national forests, a local re
source or a national resource? Are
the benefits to be derived from
holding them local or national?;
How have other states been treat-
ed in similar circumstances? j
These are questions towhich an- j
swers can be provided hy adequate '
research. The facts can be found.
They ought to be found before any
thing else is done.

Experts Say.
Offer, Reducing Schedule
Under Dawes Plan, Is
Carried to Berlin
to Be Studied.
f AranriAtrrl Prow Lmkh Wire)
PARIS. Mar. 21. Dr. Hjalmar
Schacht. president of the Reichs
bank, will take with him to Berlin
tonight, it is learned, the offer of
the allied experts on reparations
to accept 1.750,000.000 marks (about
$420,000,000) as the figure for the
German reparations annuities.
The allies' offer carried with it
various other conditions which
were not revealed.
Dr. Schacht has given no Indica
tion that the German government
will accept the allies' offer. He has
telegraphed Dr. Rudolf Helferding,
minister of finance, to call a meet
ing at Berlin of the ereat provin
cial industrialists nnd heads of the
German institutions so that he
may explain the present situation
of the reparations negotiations.
The German banker asked this
meeting deliberately, it was un
derstood, so that responsibility for
acceptance or conditional refusal
would be widely shared not only
by the government but by the great
leaders of German industry and
finance.
Dnwes Plan Affected
The figure of 1,750,000.000 marks
is understood to represent repara
tions payments of ail categoiies.
This would entail a reduction of
the present annuities under the
Dawes plan of between seven and
eight hundred million gold marks.
The 1,750.000.000- marks figure
was guarded with the greatest se
crecy; consequently, when it was
learned, there was no attendant
explanation or comment to indi
cate the number of annuities, or if,
as generally supposed, it was tho
I:rst figure of a schedule of rising
annual totals.
Thus it appeared that the mini
mum which Germany's creditors
will accept is in fact the equivalent
of the fourth year's Dawes annun.7,
