Isolation Ended
President Harding has finally discovered that there was a
world-war and that America must play her part m world
readjustment and reconstruction or be prepared to participate
in another war which would probably mean the collapse of
European civilization. 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

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. !

FROM TURNER TOSSERS
The Y. M. C. A. 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

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

the team. E. Garth, forward.

"And mother, my lord is going to

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

"Your devoted
"DICK."
Upon reading this, both men were
more at a loss than ever.

cident at the midshipmen's ball at

gation apparently was closed by
tha navv deDartment today with
publication of the findings ot the
investigation board ana tne ae
partment's conclusions, holding
that while in the light of previous
experience the measures adopted

accordance with custom, no of
ficial of the academy had been
specifically detailed to supervise
the conduct of the ball. In an

ing, the bureau of navigation
