A LESSON TO LEARN The Lausanne reparations conference now in session in Switzerland is bound in a deadlock, Germany refusing to pledge the payment of reparations, and Franco refusing to release Germany from the obligation unless the United States will be willing to reconsider the war debts. ' The United States has no official representatives at the Lausanne conference, but Hoover has clearly stated that European nations can expect no relief from war debts until they stop spending millions in maintaining armies and build ing new weapons and armaments. ; . No one can say what the outcome will bo, but it would be. no surprise if the United States should come out oft the small end of the deal. That may be one reason why we have not sent anyone to the conference; for, whether we sit in ' or not,' we have a creeping feeling that we will be left hold j ing tho bag. !,;'-.; ; .... ... j j j .;.:.; j Technically, of course, Germany's professed inability lo . pay any more reparations to European nations is none Of 1 TT 1 Cl I "1 !

W; have insisted that reparations and war debts are in no way related, but they are beginning to look like twin brothers.--' In plain English, our chances of gelling our money back aro very slinl, indeed, and we might just as well wake up and face the facts. 'And if we are half as smart as we think we are, we will learn one extremely valuable lesson from'' this unpleasant mfixup over war debts and reparations. It is not at all probable that the World War of 19M-1B' will be the last war in Europe. And when, sooner or later, another war breaks out in that troubled area, we can be sure that one side or the oilier or both together will depend upon the United States for money and munitions. ' ' Commissions headed by famous statesmen from European illations will cross tho Atlantic, bogging huge loans and ol'l'er j ing fat contracts to our munitions factories. And if Uncle Sam has any memory at all, he will send these commissions back across the ocean empty-handed, saying something like this: "We financed a European war once before, and in the end we found that most of the money we sent overseas was gone for good. We don't care to repeat that experience. Our taxpayers found il loo expensive. Hereafter not one American dollar will be loaned to any waning nation; not one American factory will sell a dollar's worth of goods to any warring nation. You'd better go and hunt up another sucker." sented quite as high an order of skill in design and construc tion as do their modern sisters, the steel steamships. Look at the photographs of this ship Bear, some day. ' She looks, out of date, with her square yards and her clipper bow. You think, as you look, that she ought to be a museum piece somewhere.

Prizes Offered Prizes which will be awarded In horseshoe HYRDS COOI) SHIl HKAK When Admiral Byrd goes buck to the Antarctic next winter he will tako along several ti-lo-date tractors, to see if they might not do better at pulling sledges over the frozen wastes than the traditional dog teams. Mill the ship that he will sail in will be the famous Hear, built a few years after the Civil war and one of the world's greatest veterans of polar voyaging. This odd mixing of the ultra-modern and the very old suggests that while some of our mechanical contrivances are a lot handier than anything our grandfathers had, there are fields in which we haven't improved much on their work. Tho tractor may be a line thing for a polar explorer, but for traveling aloiit in the stormy, ice-filled polar seas Admiral Uyrd can find nothing better than an ancient wooden vessel that was built before he himself was horn. Thc modern steel ship, of course, is a triumph of ingenuity. Her engines, in themselves, aro marvels; compact, powerful, reliable, built to pump away as steadily as the human heart, they enable the ship to keep her .schedule regardless of wind and weather. But the old shipbuilders of a past generation, who worked in wood instead of steel and placed their chief reliance on sails instead of engines they, too, were masters of their craft. Too often we romanticize alwnit the old sailing ships go much that we forget how perfectly adapted they were for the job they had to do. They were beautiful to look upon, of course, nnd they could be unspeakably picturesque at times; but first and foremost they were utilitarian, and they repre-1 rilci-o nro no HilvrrtlKPinoiiU. oxrpnt. diction Franklin D, RooBcvelt will bo of u movie theatre and rorelKil Mteain- the Democratic nominee for president er line there couldn't be any for "l '" receive Missouri's entire 3(1 iwcrythlnK Is stiitc owned and thcro : vot came .today from Senator tluwcs ,1 .... .... i x,iun.,..i u., nn ,1... mo contest and races are r V "y l""!:bnT r' r i,h . r i Pitching lcctr.c fan. first; five gal "Hamlet more Hhakesnenrlun t.hn'n son.

Murray of Oklahoma lasted but one ballot; but when the governor himself released his delegates, they divided among other favorite soi. and none of them went to thc New Yorker. There were definite si ens of agi tation In the Texas and California ! delegations, pledged to Speaker Gar ner, with Roosevelt figuring as the most likely beneficiary, should a real break come. The inside circle of convention leaders heard much talk of a combination involving the vice presidential nomination. Both Gar ner and William G. McAdoo, chair man of the California delegation, were mentioned in convention floor gossip as possible vice presidential nominees with Kooseveit. I-cailers I n Con f erenre The adjournment was until 8:30 p. m., but even as they filed out of the coliseum the leaders were carry ing on into private conferences their efforts to arrive at some breakdown which would avert anything like tho long deadlock years ago in Madison Square Garden. . Roosevelt's gains had been steady, small as they were.- On the first ballot he had 666, on the second 677, and on the third 682. The additions on the second roll call had come from Indiana, Missouri, New York, North Dakota. Ohio and Alaska. On the second ballot he took 2 from Reed in Missouri, 1 from Smith In Mew York, 2 from White in Ohio, and 1 from Smith in Pennsylvania. His loss was a fraction of a vote In North Carolina and a vote In North Dakota. Tammany For Smith At least some of the Roosevelt sarly ballot hopes failed to entirely to materialize.
