The conservative govern ment, headed by Stanley Baldwin, met defeat in the house of commons Mon day night and for the first time in the history of England a labor government will probably take office. Tho labor amendment to the ad dress In reply to the speech from the throne introduced in the house by John Robert Clynos, deputy leader of the parliamentary labor, on January 17, was adopted by a vote of 328 to 200, J. Ramsay MacDonald, tho labor leader, himself moving closure, which was agreed to. The amendment reads: "lie it our duty respectfully to Bub mit to your majesty that your ma jesty's present advisors have not the confidence of the house." The labor party had tho support of Herbert II. Asquith, former premier nnd leader of tho united liberals. Premier Muldwln will present his resignation to the king nnd the king will summon J. Ramsay MacDonald to form a new government. For a primo minister about to Buffer extinction Mr. Baldwin was in excel lent vein. Remarking that labor was about to bo put into office by the votes of a progressive party, which elicited liberal cheers, ho created roars of laughter by turning tho tables thus: "Yes, hut progress Is not necessarily forward," nnd then quoted figures showing tho gradual diminution of strength of the liberals in the com mons from 370 In 1900 to 115 in 1922, adding: "And you only got bigger numbors at tho last elections by appealing to the voters to keep tho socialist party out." Mr. Baldwin, in his speech, took tho solo blame for tho protectionist policy, which ho believed would solve tho un employment problem. Ho paid his respects to ex Premier Asquith, lender of tho united llberuls, who had turnud tho support of that purty to tho labor Itos, by comparing Mr. Asquith with "an obstetrician about to bring a child into the world wllh tho intention to smother it should It fall to meet his expectations," and declared: "I think Infant li-lilo is worso than suicide." Ills government, ho snld, had been accused of committing suicide, but, he exclaimed, "there are worso crimes than suicide!" The primo minister predicted that tho future lay between tho conserva tives and the labor parly, and to ring ing ministerial cheers ho added: "Do wo look like a beaten party? we lire ready to lako up tho challenge from nny parly whensoever nnd by whomsoever It Is thrown down." In his general remarks about labor's policy Mr. MacDonald declared thai smliillsm had no hard and favored doctrines. Tho man or nation that found un easy way to lay hands on capiUil for any purpose except specific economic purposes, In his belief, was going Into bankruptcy. China's Downfall Laid to Man Jongg. Chicago, 111. Mall Jongg is respon sible for the present corruption in China, the Iiev. (ieorgo Stens, a mis sionary In China for 30 years, declared Sunday at SI. Mary's mission house al Teebny, III., where ho Is studying American educational methods. "Tho bandits who rob at night in China gamble at mah Jongg by day." ho mild, "tiovernment officials sit through (he night playing with off i cers, employes and underlings In of fice. They lose in the end. Their regular duties are neglected, and when It comes to paying their losses they resort to all kinds of rascality. "hi China thorn Is a saying that the victim of the habit can no longer be trusted. I know men and women In China who have lost their entire pos sessions playing this game. There are few lames so contagious and 1 am sorry to see it getting mull a hold ill America." Train Service Crippled. London.

JUAREZ DESTINATION Commander and 1500 Men Expect to Re-enter Own Country by Way of EL Paso, Texas. Naco, Ariz. While hundreds o citi zens of Mexico and the United States looked on Sunday afternoon, Mexican federal troops crossed the internation al boundary at this little town, en trained in special cars waiting for them, and began their journey to Juarez, Mexico. There was no demonstration. Flf toon hundred Mayo Indians made up the command. General Jesus Maria Agulrre, in charge, hoped to effect a crossing of the border at El Paso, Tex., under cover of darkness. In their trip to Juarez, the Mexican soldiers will cross portions of the states of Arizona and New Mexico. The troopers eventually will be sent to Jalisco, Coahulla, where the forces of President Obregon are battling to quell the revolution. A special train of the El Paso & Southwestern railway carried the troops. It left Naco at 1:15 o'clock. United States Immigration guards are accompanying the troops to El Paso. Passago of the Mexican sol dlors into the United States wag ac complished in the presence of United States immigration authorities. It was a long, tiresome process. Each sol dier was required to register his" name as he entered the United States. More than four hours were required to in spect and register the entire contin gent. The Mexican officials desired to send the troops across in a body, but American immigration officers ex plained this was impossible. Most of the train which carried the troops was composed of freight cars, the officers riding ahead in coaches. Fifty cars were assigned for the trans portndon of the soldiers and 12 cars for equipment. Tho officers occupied the remaining two cars that made up tho train. Mexican officials announced COO additional troopers will arrive in Naco from southern Sonora in a day or two, but the exact time of the arrival was uncertain, they said. NORTHWEST LEVY ON LOGS TARGET Washington, D. C. Attorney-Con-oral Daugherly has reversed the tariff commission In Its first report to the president under flexible provisions of the tariff act. In an opinion sent to the White liouso, Mr. Daugherly had ruled that tho commission's construction of the section laying import duties on logs of cellar, fir, spruce and western hem lock was incorrect. The president has returned tho commission's report, with tho opinion, to the commission wllh Instructions to "proceed in ac cordance therewith." Tho commission's action, which was overturned by the department of Jus tice, was taken Into in August upon tho application of log buying Interests of tho Pacific northwest, which sought a reduction of tho full 60 per cent permitted by tho flexible provisions In tho rate of a thousand board font on logs of tho species mentioned. The law provides that the duty shall not apply If tho nation, rrovlnco or po litical sub-division from which the commodity is imported has imposed any restriction on its exportation within 12 mouths. Russia Buys Cotton. New Orleans. The Russian soviet government has purchased a small quantity of American Cotton which It Is understood Is for shipment directly to Russian ports, according to cotton factors here. Tho purchases to date, so far us Is known here, amount to around 20.000 bales. How much Amer ican cotton the Husslans have received through Germany there Is no way of ascertaining, but it Is believed some has reached the soviet republic. 700,000 Cargo Seized. New York.

No one was wounded. Police found that the boat, the Capital No. 1, bad been captured twice before. TERRITORY Something to Think About by F. A. WALKER RUNNING TIDES XI7HERE the oceans, seas and riv- ' erg are, where happiness dwells, where progress wends Its way among the nations, the tides are running day and night in perfect harmony with the mysterious force which is prompting, swaying, driving and compelling every animate creature to action. Slowly we learn thst these unfore seen tides which' seem so irresistible, so destructive to our fondest drea-is and aspirations, can be made tubse ri nt to our wishes, and how by a stroke or two we may swim strongly with their currents and reach our goal. To some of us the very thought of the constant motion of these tides sug gests that they are opposing us, seek ing to sweep us under, when in reality they are Intended to develop our prow ess to keep our heads above the waters and carry us safely on to our destina tion In spite of ourselves. We balk at doing this or that be cause of opposition. We lack the cour age to breast the flood. In a moment of despair we feel that It is preferuble to destroy our ambitions and forget them than to make the fight. It is pleasanter to sit by the fire and picture castles In the air than it Is to erect them on a substantial foundation. And frequently, utile we are thus idly dreaming, the tides pick us up and whirl us off to some destitute Island. If In out temporary Isolation we regain our senses and see ourselves as we real ly are, we summon our spiritual and physical strength and strike out boldly for the main land. Whatever our sensations may have been In the grip of such emotions, If we have within us the right qualities, we are likely later in our careers to become more earnest, capable and pa tient. The old egotism, narrow selfishness and churlish temper, which were pull ing us down beneath the waters, have scurried away. We have become more charitable, more neighborly, more Inclined to pull with the tides than to oppose them when opposition Is of no avail. We heed cheerfully the advice of our su periors instead of rejecting it with ugly words of protestation or rising up in rebellion against well-meant author ity. And this is as it should be. The se cret of success is to know when to buffet the tides nnd when to float com placently with them. (, III, br VoClura Newipaptfr SyndlcatO O ' Has Anyone Laughed At You Because By ETHEL R.
