The recent unpleasantness in the Near East effectively clemoiiKtratos the truth of a recent Quill I'oint, "Mijclit may not lie risilit, but it is seldom left." Turkey wins all ij 1 t i r (lie line because she had milil on her side a well trained army ready to fiprlil. ami bis; jans ready to open fin-. She refrains Constantinople and Thrace, and enters the Armistice parley with the winnitijj; cards lucked safely up her sleeve. Meanwhile tlie League of Nations adjourns sine die, a pitiful and pathetic example of the futility of Kijrht, when it has no Might to en force; ils principles. The lesson provided by this spectacle is obvious. The League of Nations must have force to back up its decrees, or it is doomed to immediate extinction. As the tffirld is today, moral recommenda tions are not enough, for internationally there is no moral standard. rVe Turks, for example, are fighting for their selfish interests, just as the Creeks and the liulgarians, the Serbs and the Slavs, have fought for their selfish interests, and till under the banner of- na tional integrity. Now, somewhere in the mix up, there is, from the standpoint of world welfare, certain discernible principles of right and wrong. The League of Nations is probably qualified to distinguish those rights. Hut as long as there is no force to support them, the selfish scramble merely continues with war as the inevitable outcome. One of the most popular arguments against the League of Na 1ons, was the charge that the League involved the imposition of a super-government. The charge was well founded. Hut without such a super-government, without a force outside of the nations them selves, and great enough to compel obedience by all the nations' no league covenant can 'be worth the paper it is written on. The Near East crisis clearly demonstrates this. If the nations of 1ho world are not ready to accept a super-government organized for pence and capable of enforcing peace, then the old .struggle fur sr. premacy will certainly continue, and wars will recur in the future as they have in the past. It is a disniul prospect. It looks as though the world must, suf fer more agonies before it realizes that pence is worth the price, the siic'riTA's of a selfish nationalism, that must be made for it. YANKEE HITTERS EXCELL GIANTS .319 TO .318 AS SERIES OPENS Latest Gossip From European . Social and Political. Circles NEW YORK, Oct. 2 in offensive strength there Is little to choose be tween the possible contenders in the 11)22 world's series, as they appear grouped upon paper, and only with the aid of the fates that decide that some player shall hit when a lilt is most needed or that another shall fail when failure is most costly can a preference be made. Of course It is by the arrangement and distribution of the butting strength that a manager obtains the moat possible out of his team, and the actual attacking value of a bull blub must be gauged by what the line-up produces. In evaluating the teams, moreover, consideration must be given to their offensive abilities in relation to their defensive character. An instance of this is an infield that may lead all the other infields of the league 1n batting, yet be so poor In fielding that its rating would place it third or fourth among all tho eight clubs. The maximum offensive power of un Infield, which Includes the three basemen, shortstop, catcher and best hitting pitcher, is batting strength. Ouill Points 1'Icssed are the pact! piiikers, for they sludl get a raise. If tho meole inherit much now it is proof that their deceased sire wasn't noted for meekness. It might be well to remind Turkey Hint many an initial success is discounted by an attack of swell-head. "When both sides wish to compromise, it isn't because both are reasonable, but because both think they arc licked.

THOrCJI I'm in a fierce condition, with diseases nine or ten. I don't seek the learned physician in his highly ornate den. In the dear dad days now vanished to the doctor I would fly. and my divers ills were banished in the twinkling of an eye. He'd in dulge iu harmless banter, making me forget my ills, then he'd hftnd me a decanter of his compound juice of squills. This was long ago my masters, when man wore a liver pad, in the days of porous plasters, ere the saw became a fad. Now, no matter what my ill is, all Hie doctors talk the same; ostracised the good old pill is, curving is the only game. I was sick with Texas fever, and the doctor sabl "I!y .Jim. your one hope is in the cleaver let me rend you limb from limb." If there is an ill I catch it, eery ail ment 1 endure; and the doctor says, "The hatchet is the only cer tain cure." "Drugs are but a useless fizzle," says the healer, with disdain "with my bucksaw and my chisel I will rid the world , of pain. Long research has taught, us better than to dope away your life; 1 will cure your mumps or tetter with my ax and drawing-knife." And the surgeons still pursue me, as they follow other hicks, asking for a elianee to hew me anil to pile me up in ricks.

PARIS. Oil. iJank pii-scuiis, which, date from centurit-s past; bk-ak colo nial coasts, where all work and no play makes Jaciiues a living skele ton: even the gleaming blade of the hideous guillotine Itaeir thought of none of these Is deterrent enough to stem the crime wave that Is sweeping over France in general and Paris in particular. Official figures . now confirm tlie intensity yith which. tho, city of Paris is being infected with tho crime germ and reveal the alarming fact that an astounding proportion of the Increase of crime is uniting .the youth. These figures, taken from a re port by Kluile Massurd, municipal councillor, are quoted by tho Paris Midi. "Tho sad end of Meclstas Charrier who killed a man in the course of robbing an express train and expi ated bis crime under the guillotine hasn't halted for one minute those who walk in his footsteps, or even tboso who .go him one better," is the comment made. "In one year the total number of arrests for all crimes has exceeded, in Paris alone, the astounding figure of 40,000! "Hut the most disquieting tiling of nit is . the recrudescence of juvenile crime. "Four hundred culprits were less than fifteen years old; thirteen hun dred were from fifteen to seventeen, and 3200 had not yet attained the age of twenty! "And that is only the boys. Mure than 1150 young girls appeared be fore the courts. One hundred of these were less than fifteen yeurs old: 3r,0 were beuveen fifteen and eighteen years old."

Modern new-spnpers record more miracles in a week than there are re counted In all ancient literature, sacred or profane. There nre stranger things 'twlxt heaven and earth than were ever dreamed by tho most ambitious trick camera man that ever inhabited Hollywood. ' . La Presse doesn't put it just ex actly that way. but that's the effect of Its conclusion after summarizing a series of bizarre happenings that have set the Paris public wondering recently. Throe of these curious events con cern mushrooms. The mushroom has been a favorite plaything of cooks, botanists and court poisoners for centuries, but it never behaved the way it has been doing the last few weeks. First of tlie disclosures was that of.u tinv, but persistent species of the fungus was destroying the wans of ,1. Iiist.-ric palace of Versailles. cms,- upon the heels of this tiling under the sun" came the an nouncement that another mnshio. .. distantly related, was preventing tin. development of ibis season's oysters and making it necessary to eliair. prohibitive prices for the succulent hall'shell. But that was nothing to what a mushroom could do if it got really riled, as the next few days came to prove. Tills master mushroom blew up a house in Valenciennes! Whether Monsieur and .ii.iu.iii"- Mils, newlyweds. saw the musn rooms before their house exploded, or whether traces of mushroom were found among the-ruins is not eieauj expluined. ,,u tli.nt certain beams sup ported the house. It was these beams that were attacked' by me malicious mushroom. One dav the crash came. The young couple were seriously injured. Some insist tbat tlie nouse naturally fell la. But the young couple and others will listen to no other theory than that the mush rooms blew up and thnt they were "set off" by spontaneous combustion. Enojigh for mushrooms. Let us turn to fish. It has been reported from Angers that fish have been drowning themselves by thousands in tlie River Mayenne. -Fish that drown themselves in a: river are miraculous enough. Thero is no joke about it. The fish have been seen, according to several reports gasping and spluttering, nnd their poor drowned bodies are strewn along the fiat river banks legem, 'or Infants, Invalids & Children The Original Food-Drink for All Ages.

For instance, If shipments to London, Liverpool or Glasgow are heavy we consign to other European markets where shipments aro light, so when shipping through us you get the best net results. The slight difference in freight via the Pacific coast is nothing compared to tlie vast difference in price we can realize for' you on shipments via New York. By shipping via New York we can select the best European markets on account of the Pacific coast steam ers taking so long to reach destination and being loaded too heavy, nnd, fur thermore, they only land at a limited number of ports, so .we would only have very few markets to select when shipped via tlie Pacific coast. It would not be profitable to re-ship your apples after the Pacific coast steamer reaches her European destination, and they have not the proper cold storage facilities in Europe.
