Even in evil .there is good. The coaVstrike stimulated
enormously the use and development and possible use and
development of water power. . More of it will be harnessed
up to go on "working forever, as long as the sun lifts the water
and the clouds drop it in rain. ;
One American paper mill has arranged to produce steam
for a 5000 horsepower boiler, by electricity instead of coal.
; Loss than 3 per cent of the world's water power is now
developed- , ;
And of the amount developed nearly half is in the United
States .
- And of all the water power in the United States nearly 50
per cent is in the Columbia river; basin in Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho. . . '
" : But half of all the water power in the world is in Africa,
practically all going; to waste One of these days it will all
be used; and the water power of Africa and the gigantic
waterfall 'in BraziT, far greater in jtower than the Niagara,
will some day send, without wires, power to flying machines
a" thousand miles away. The learned Steinmetz, head of the
General Electric, has just predicted that power will be trans
mitted by radioby, wireless , :

the elements of water in contact with a little crude oil or

Mr. Snow is a hard headed expert in such matters.
If he is not mistaken; this will revolutionize many condi
tions s .. ,.;
1 ; But it is not likely, for most uses, that there will ever be
as cheap a power as that developed by the running of water
; down hill; direct water power or hydroelectric power.
It is pretty plain now that there will not be another coal
strike, or if there is one it will still further speed up the
development of our unused water powers, and that in due
course all the water powers will be U3ed V '
And that this will have the. effect of transferring the
center of manufacturing in the 'United States front "the At-
lantic to the Pacific side of the country, and that the most
intense activities will be in the Columbia basin.

She looked up solemnly. "My

Then she jumped up and gave him
t little hug and laughed. "I

It was the truth. For some time
he had been feeling ashamed of

and foolish. Of course she was
not very old. but she ought to
actmore-well like a mother.
He had been thinking about
this especially since George Fos
ter moved into the neighborhood.
George ' had a real mother, dig

a low ; sweet . voice. : Her house
was always clean as a pin; every
thing about her seemed to go

"Mother .thinks ydu're too noisy.

the only answer; but the Chroni

may be that the movie stars are
trying to outdo all that the dra

in the matter of temperament."
The Chronicle loses sight "or an
important point. It is true thai,
even a generation ago the actors
and actresses of the spoken drama
were given to "connubial convul
sions," but they were in no dan
ger of achieving fuch doubtful
eminence in that department as
the modern mavle performers be

doesn't need brains to be a movie

TBOTZKYS "HANDOUT "
: I .
A 'handout," to the hobo. Is
a sanawicn or piece oi pie pre
sented at the kitchen door ana
preferably not to be consumed on
the 'premises. To the journalist
concerned with affairs of state, it
is a package of propaganda neatly
done up in the form of an inter
view. A slight misunderstanding
uf this distinction, it is related
In a Washington anecdote, gave
concern to the wife of a news
paper correspondent, when he
told her that he was going to the
White House for a "handout.
Trotzky lived long enoueh In
New York to be thoroughly famil
iar with American ways, and is
quite bright enough to appreciate
the advantages of the mass in
terview. He saw ,15 foreign!
correspondents a week ago Fri
day, gave them what he
wanted to get published, and
courageously submitted to a cross
fire of questions which he an
swered or parried with a good
deal of skill. If this is the be
ginning of a new system of regu
lar1 interviews, there should ba
an opportunity for muchfuller
information about Russia, and the
"handouts' are not so likely an
!n western, countries to be what
London journalists call "tripe."
In the long list of the faults , of
the "soviet government reticence
is not included.
In his talk on Friday a week
ago, Trotzky paid special atten
tion to the United States and
dropped his cynicism a little in
speaking of American relief work;
while realizing that incidentally
it was alno a work of investiga
tion, Russia was grateful, and
he was confident that "What Am
ericans found here is better than
the stories told about us by our
enemies outside; so we await the
result without misgiving." In
regard to recognition by the
United States he professed to be
indifferent: "What does recog
nition nvean, anyway? That is not
important, but commercial rela
tions are. v Recognition, what is
It? I can breathe the fresh air
without Mr. Hughes recognizing
the fact." Yet the increased re
gard for American opinion Indi
cates that recognition would not
be unwelcome in spite of this dip-
pos-Momatlc disdain. For America's
benefit he put special stress on
the "rapid .reduction of the army
from 1,500,000 to 800,000 men,
adding: "We are ready to de
mobolize the whole lot and turn
the , military academies into en
cjlneering schools, if the bther
nations would agree to simultane
ous and parallel disarmament."
This is playing handsomely up
to the lea& given by Mr. Hughes,
Lbut Trotzky evidently does not
think that such a pledge commits
Russia deeply, because .other
countries are heading the other
way: "Never has Europe been in
such: a state of incoherence; in
dividual statesmen and politici
ans alike have no definite policy;
they don't know what the morrow
may fcring forth." This shows
acute Insight: at the present mo
ment probably none of the men
supposed to shape policy can see
far ahead. Trotzky does not be
lieve Russia likely again to be in
volved in war, but he said very
frankly that the greatest danger
of it would come from French
military pressure against Ger
many; "In that event Poland
can hardly remain passive, and
it Poland acts against Germany
I question whether we can jemain
passive ourselves." .
Sdviet Russia, he observed,
could hardly be accused of having
Premier Poincare in Its pay as
an agent, yet France was adopt
ing the very tactics needed to
drive Germany into revolution, in
which case "rtussia and Germany
would form an unconquerable
bloc, economically and agricultu
rally." He refrained from ad
ding "militarily," explaining that
his statement would be misin
terpreted in America. None the
less his declaration shows the
magnitude of the peril which mili
tary action mht involve at the
present time, when not Germany
alone but most of central Europe
is in desperate straits. Comment
ing on all the above, an editorial
writer in the very conservative
Springfield Republican says:
"There has been no time since
1919 when tranquilizing measures
were more needed, and in waving
a red lantern as a danger signal,
Trotzky is giving fair warning."
A WAR EPISODE
When Dr. John H. Jowett went
tack home from New York in the
early days of the war. he sailed
on a Dutch boat, the Hner Rot
terdam. Half an hour before
leaving an American presented
himself to Dr. Jowett as an oc
casional attendant . at the Fifth
Ajrenne church. He said that his
wlter iriro wu an'' Austrian lady;
butJFlthjaHtl. sympathies, was
going to Vienna and was traveling.
alone, and he asked If he would
pay her the courtesy of a little
attention on , her journey. She
was going home to visit her aged
father and mother, who were
both ill from the shock of the
war and from the utter indigesti
bility of the common bread.
The woman became one of Dr.
Jowett's party. As Dr. Jowett
tells the story: "She was a gra
cious and charming companion
throughout the whole journey.
Her husband had been to Count
Dumba, the Austrian amba&nador,
requesting a personal 1 letter,
which might make her t journey
from Rotterdam to Vienna a lit
tle easier. The letter was readily
given, but two days later a mes
sage came from the count asking
if the lady would kindly include
in her baggage a quantity of
serum and other things for use
among the troops in the Austrian
hospitals. She willingly consent
ed, but when she and her hus
band arrived at the boat they
were rather surprised to find a
comparatively large chest await
ing them. However, they knew
nothing about 'serum nor what
quantities were required for hos
pital work among millions of
troops. And so it was put with
the lady's baggage. I knew-noth
ing about all this, nor did the
!ady think it to be of sufficient
nterest or importance to men
tion it.'.'
When the Rotterdam reached
England agents of the British se
cret service came aboard and
o.sked to eee the lady and, with
great courtesy,, asked to seo her
baggage for inspection. Then it
wajy found that the chest con
tained, instead of serum, the no
torious Dumba letters and docu
ments which were made public
a little later, filling pages In Am
erican papers and helping to
arouse sentiment that came to the
decision to enter the war on the
side of the allies.
A COMPLETE FAILURE
The Chicago Tribune, in 4ts
story of the discouraged sculptor
who recently shot himself while
seated before the "Winged Vic
tory" in the Chicago Art Insti
tute, lays considerable stress upon
the point that the unfortunate
artist had carefully arranged to
Pay all his other debts before de
liberately prepaying the final debt
to nature.
The man had come from the
art schools of Europe, It seems,
with high hopes of making a for
tune and a famous name for him
self la this country. "Arriving in
Chicago he donned a smtfek and
hung up a sculptor's shingle."
But business did not come. ' Busi
ness seldom does come in quite
that -easy way, even in Chicago.
Men are obliged occasionally to
go and look for It. Then, says the
Tribune:
"He went in debt, accord
ing to police, and took to
carving monuments. But
that work did not give a good
living. Then, owing more
than $700 and seeing no fu
ture in the world of art, Un
daras took off his smock and
became a clerk in a west side
mail order bouse.
"He paid his debts slowly.
On Tuesday he paid the last
debtor. Yesterday morning
he took a tiny revolver and
went down to the Institute

among the statue The in
stitute closes its doors at
5
o'clock. At 4:55 p.
m.
he
sat beneath the "Winged
Victory" and committed sui
cide." It is clear that this poor hu
man failure never did appreciate
the full artistic significance of
the "Winged Victory." He him
self sprouted no wings and he
achieved no victory. Up to the
point of laboring at the useful
job until he accumulated enough
money to pay off his creditors, he
was iane and almost heroic, and
for that he deserved credit. But
his own spasm of heroism was
lost upon himself. It did not oc
cur to .him that if he could "de
mean" himself to the extent of
earning money In a menial job
to pay his Just debts he might
even, in time, earn enough to live
upon, and who knows eventu
ally succeed in his chosen art. But
all speculation along these lines,
of course, is futile.
The poor man was simply a
complete failure. The only ex
tenuating things that may be said
about him are that he paid his
debts and that he refrained from
taking anybody else with him in
to the beyond.

CONTEXTS OF THE STOCKING
In the Atlantic Monthly Sisley
Huddles ton makes a qualified de
fense of France for its attitude
toward Germany. He says:
"We have to reckon with
the simple thought of the
peasant who demands that
Germany shall pay, as France
paid after 1871, out of the
treasures hidden in a woolen '
stocking, without troubling
about modern modalities."
The woolen stocking of the
French peasant contained a good
deal more cash than Germany
supposed, or it would have made
the unprecedented indemnity
greater. The war had been a
short one. Germany's expenses
were not heavy and Berlin was
satisfied with a moderate profit
on its exjvendltures. Furthermore,
the French pear-ant who had been
supposed to be susceptible only to
specie and land showed an inter
est in the obligations of his gov
ernment, and was willing to
change the contents of the wool
en stocking from specie to rentes.
As a result France astonished the
world by the amount of money it
put up and the celerity with which
it removed the only excuse for
the presence of German soldiers
in France.
But the World war cost a great
cieal more than the military prom
enade of von Moltke In the sum
mer of 1871. and France began
the peace conference with a de
mand that Germany should reim
burse it for all its expense and
losses. It did not take long to
conrvlnce France that this was ira
pcsstble, anjl grudgingly the
claims of France were reduced.
Immediately after the armistice
the feeting in England was simi

George and' his countrymen have ;
forgotten all about that but every-; -body
in France feels that the t
treaty of Versailles Is a contract'
with Germany.
' So it Is, and tho contract could
be enforced to the extent of tho
contents of the German peasant's
woolen stocking. But the French'
demands, the demands rather re-1
luctantly agreed on at the peace'
treaty, go far beyond the contents
of that stocking. The stock Ijig:
will have to be filled and emptied .
several times before the full de
mands of Franco Imbedded In the
peace treaty shall be satisfied.
Will hands go on filling that
stocking merely to have It emptied
Into France? There is a growing
indisposition in Germany to do
this. What is In sight, what has'
already been accumulated and is
in a portable form, France can
get from Germany. But. Franca
is demanding that Germany pay
continuously for a generation or
half a century. It not only de
mands what Germany has, but It
demands that Germany shall work '
hard and get some more. . r.
And the problem Is to make
Germany work for the sake of
conveying the money to France.
M. Poincare is very sure that-he .
can do it, but any military dem
onstration that France may make
would convulse , business and",
check the earning capacity of Ger- '
many. . The woolen stocking is
easily emptied once. It is not
