For two years the administration has drifted as the world drifted toward anarchy, proclaiming the impossible policy of isolation, but now that the situation has grown desperate, he holds that the United States can no longer remain "inactive" in the affairs of the world, either in peace or in war. England and France are at swords points, with Britain cm the point of abandoning France and both at outs with Germany, Only the dominating influence of America can bring about harmony and satisfactorily settle the German reparations muddle. Chaos now ruling Europe has demoral ized industry and destroyed credits, and without markets and without money, matters are going from bad to worse. With hiiiH the United States feels the reaction J J Ul J I' , - " " Ambassador Harvey, who has been the most irreconcilable t oil v,a unntnimcn nf the administration; has ceased his diatribes against American participation in European adjust ments and has been sent for to confer with the president over the change in policy contemplated.

At any rate, the president has reluctantly changed his policy, because ot the If Europe is drifting from bad to worse, if the peace of the world is again threatened, if reconstruction "as been indefinitely delayed, whose fault is it?

Free Publicity A year or so ago Salem along with every other town fell hard for a clever stunt pulled to advertise the Brotherhood ol American Yoemen, in which the city's desirability was pains takingly set forth for a proposed national children s home to Commercial organizations vied with prominent citizens and realtors in entertaining delegates and in showing representatives of the brotherhood sites, col riaa nnH filimr nhntnerrarjhs. while the newspapers gave columns of space beneficial to the order, and the lodges swelled their memoersnip. TVin winViitn Kansas naners announce that the xoemen have finally reached that enterprising city and ho d out the same glowing hopes for its selection that they held out tor Salem, Podunk and some 400 other places. But Wichita is much more likely to be selected for such an enterprise than Salem, or any place outside tne geograpnic centei ui li country. On its face it would be folly to pay transportation charges across a continent when it is unnecesary, nor would it be business like to choose an isoiatea comniunuj, wjigu railroad centers are available. . , ., Tha Ynpmpn will nrnhahlv erect their "City of Childhood some where and some day, when they have secured sufficient publicity and increased in membership suiiicientiy, ana u may even cost the $10,000,000 proposed. But in the mean time the campaign to locate the site will be worth at least that amount in publicity. But chambers of commerce and enterprising boosters, like a good, many newspapers, will continue to fall for propaganda having as its prima object, free publicity. ! &long State Street Save the flowers and say it with safety.

Eagles basket ball five defeated the Turner Junior high school basket towers on the Y floor In a very hard fought game last Saturday eve ning 25-23. From the beginning of the game to the closing whis tle the score was so close that no mora than ttree baskets at any time would have put the team which was behind in the lead. As it was the lead see-sawed back and forth. For the Turner five the Garth brothers were the mainstays of the team. E. Garth, forward. made four field goals and five free throws for 13 points while his brother, A. Gath, playing at center, made five field goals. Harold Busick for the locals made 11 points. N. Neld ofTu'" ner retereed the game. The mem bers of the teams were: Turner E. Gath. G. Hansett. forwards; A. Gath. center; L. Mil ler. J. Gale, guards. Eagles Harold Busick, Je-J rome Hansen, forwards; Hugh Adams, center; Faul Devers, Har Is It Di'cls Tennant? "And mother, my lord is going to have Eddie's feet fixed and send him to school and and !"Mary stopped, looking at Starmount reflec tively and wistfully. ''What would you like beBt, Maryf" he asked, sensing the re quest she hesitated to give. T want to learn everything, so that I'll he able to talk to you. my lord. I never want you to be ashamed of me and regret." Because he was much moved by Mary's whole-souled devotion, Star mount hurriedly left the room. Although he thought he could not sleep, he threw himself down upon a broad divan in his room. It was with great surprise that he opened his eyes to find the room in dark ness, and someone insistently knock ing at his door . "Come in." " The door opened and Parker handed him a cablegram. "This just came and I thought it important enough to wake you." Starmount read: "Theadore Parker, care Malcolm Starmount, Seabright, N. J.: "Xot quite sure yet where I shall stop long enough to get mail. Will mail you letters as soon as we touch first port. Do not worry about my unceremonious departure. Every thing all right. K1CHARD TE.NAvVl Starmount 's faco was a stud.v "What do you make of that, Ted?" 'I haven't the slightest idea. The only thing that I do know from this i . . i .1 wire is tnat someone is on orara the Uragua who answers to tLe jiame of Eichard Tennant." 'But Ted, we know that Tennant is dead. We thought he was dead, but many times in my life I have thought I knew beyond doabt that men were dead, and that I had sjen them buried, only to find w i etimes, years afterward, that they were alive when I least wanted them to be." ''Yes, I expect lawyers really see queer phases of life, but that does not help this case very much, does itt" Parker wrinkled up his brows in thought. "The only thing I can make of it is that Sather disposed of that body somewhere and, finding those steam ship tickets in Tennant's poekets, he simply got on the bout and went abroad himself." "But, Ted, he has no money." "You forget that as far as we know he has at least $800 which was in that roll of bills I gave him and if our surmise is true he had a large letter of credit belonging to' Tennant." "Perhaps he will never write us, Ted. Perhaps he will just disappear off the ship at the first stop." "Well," I really think that will be a good thing. It is not particu larly neeessary for us to know what became of Tennant's body. It is only necessary for our peace of mind to know that nothing in regard to it will bother us or anyone else any more." . ''I wonder if Xalda will try to wireless Tennant.'' Let's drive into the station, Mai. I think I have enough influ- enae to find out." The two men drove into town, and presently Parker found his friend who was a high officer in the wire less company. Yes, we sent two wirelesses to the Uragua this morning,'' the op erator told them, ''one from Mr. Theodore Parker and one from Nal da Courteney. Here are copies of them. We also have answers to both of them." Parker hastily read Xaldu's mes sage. Why did you not sar goodby, Diekvl I am heartbroken. I will keep my word and come to you if you still want me. "Always your loving "NALDA." "Let us see the answers." After a glance at the ono that had been sent him, Parker read the one to Nalda. "Tried to get you last night, Nal da darling, but could not. I'll send for vou as soon as possible. I love you have always loved you and will count the hours until you are with "Your devoted "DICK." Upon reading this, both men were more at a loss than ever.
