NO. & HAPPENNINGS OF THE WEEK | NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS President Coolidge Vetoes the Farm Relief Bill Crisis at Shanghai. By EDWARD W. PICKARD PRESIDENT COOLIDGE on Friday I vetoed the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill, and all hope for govern lmnlal relief for the agriculturists was abandoned until the next congress lhall meet. The chief executive, in one of the longest veto messages ever received by congress, repeated his al ready well-known reasons for consid ering the bill economically unsound and fallacious. He said it was a price fixing scheme Indirectly and would put I the government Into buying and sell ing. He condemned the equalization fee-?s a tax on Some farmers for the benefit of others. He asserted the plan would Increase production and lower the world price to a point that would result in flooding the country with foreign farm product Imports over the tariff wall. The President appended an opinion by Attorney Gen eral Sargent holding the bill unconsti tutional In numerous particulars. Whatever may be the opinion of the soundness of Mr. Coolidge's rea sons for vetoing the bill or of his po litical wisdom in this respect, there Is no question of his consistency ami his courage in the matter. In the cen tral West the immediate reaction to the veto was a definite determination to put Frank O. Lowden in the run ning for the Presidential nomination at the next national convention. The Democrats in congress saw an oppor tunity to win the farmer votes for tariff reduction. ? v MATTERS in China moved rapidly toward a crisis last week. Fol lowing his crushing defeat' at Ilang chow by the Nationalists, Marshal Sun Chuan-fang, hitherto ruler of Klangsu province, gave up Hangchow, Hushing and Nlngpo, second largest port in Chekiang province, and retired on Shanghai. At the same time the Na tionalists in Shanghai started a gen eral strike which, though nominally directed against Sun, was actually an anti-foreign demonstration and'pretty effectually tied up business and traffic In the city. The Chinese officials tried to curb It by the summary execution of scores of leaders and student agi tators whose heads were sliced off and "tuck on poles In the streets. In the midst of the ruction Sun decided he *as beaten and practically surren dered leadership of the anti-Canton forces there to Gen. Chang Cliung o ang, boss of Fengtien, who entered lower Yangtse valley with a large army.

Dispatches from Managua said President Diaz was about to submit to the Nicaraguan congress a proposal for a 100 year alli ance with the United States which would mean practically the creation of a- protectorate. TTAL*'S formal reply to President Coolidge's naval disarmament pro posal was transmitted to Washington, ft was a politely worded but flat rejec tion, and-was drafted by Premier Mus solini himself. Before being a mili tary or even political problem, naval defense iafof Italy one of existence, the note says. Geography establishes characteristics which cannot be disre | garded. Italy's position in Europe is determined entirely by the fact that her territorial limits are within one body of water, outlets of which are entirely controlled by other nations. The note declares that so far as the European continent is concerned, there is an inalienable interdependence of all categories of armaments of every single power and that It Is impossible to adopt the measure for only tiie five great naval npwers. Japan, on the other hand, has Ac cepted the Coolidge proposal and says its delegates at Geneva will have full powder to negotiate an agreement ex tending the limitation to all classes of fighting ships. But the Japanese reply makes it plain that the government is unwilling to extend the 5-5-3 ratio to cruisers, destroyers and submarines. For these vessels it wants a ratio nearer a parity with America and Great Britain. SOVIET Ilussia has been twisting the British lion's tall too persist ently, and last week it received from the British government a blunt warn ing that all relations between the two nations would be broken off unless it mended its ways at ODce. In the note, called one of the most outspoken ever formulated by the British foreign office. Sir Austen Chamberlain, foreign secretary, says that the relations be tween the British government and- the union of soviet socialist republics "continue notoriously of an unsatis factory nature." lie declares that "there are limits beyond which it Is dangerous to drive public opinion In Great Britain" and that a continuance of the breeches of the agreement sooner or later will cause a break be tween the two countries. All Russia celebrated the ninth an niversary of the establishment of the Red army, and the press carried arti cles by leading soviet authoritlm as serting that the army was prepare^ In meet all eventualities. WITH only a few days remaining before the end of the session, congressmen made an effort to rush through a lot of legislation. In the senate this was hampered by the fili buster carried op for the purpose of defeating the bill to dam the Colorado river in Boulder canyon. Ashurst of Arizona led this filibuster and frus trated all efforts of Johnson of Cali fornia, author of the bill, to bring It to a vote. As the house steering com mittee hud decided the measure should financing his education Is, however, only Incidental Jo his main purpose. Keeler is* trying to develop a serum to be used as aft antitoxin for rattlesnake bites. Scientists in India had developed a satisfactory seruin for use In cobra bite cases, and in South America se rums were in use that had reduce'! the death rate 00 per cent from poison snake bites. No serum, however, had l>een discovered for use against the rattier. To perfect this serum Keeler began to build up an immunity in the ? not be taken np In the house unless acted on by the senate, It was con sidered practically dead so far as this congress was concerned. In its Intervals ot real work the senate passed the bouse bill authoris ing the veterans' bureau to make loans to veterans on their adjusted service certificates. The house passed the James bill authorising an appropria tion of $8,491,000 for new barracks at various army posts. President Cool idge signed the radio act and the army appropriation bill. WHEN Samuel Insult of Chicago appeared before the Reed com mittee In Washington he answered most of the questions concerning his contributions to the Illinois primary campaign funds, but flatly refused to tell to whom he gave $40,000 for local political campaigns. Nor would he permit his attorney to reveal this. The public htllltles magnate was In structed to return to the committee ;oom at the end of the week, and it was expected that he would persist In his refusal to reply to the question. Then, probably he will be cited for contempt, as will be Thomas W. Cun ningham of Philadelphia, who would not reveal the source of $50,000 he con tributed to the Varp-Beldleraan fund. State's Attorney Crowe of Chicago avoided citation by answering all ques tions. SENATOR LA FOLLETTE.'of Wis consin took the occasion of Wash ington's birthday to introduce in the senate this resolution: "Resolved, That it Is the sense of the senate that the precedent estab lished by Washington and other Presi dents of the United States in retiring from Presidential office after their Sec ond term, has become, by universal concurrence, a part -of our republican system of government, and that any departure from this time-honored cus tom would be unwise, unpatriotic and fraught with peril to our free institu tions." In the house Representative Fair child of New York introduced a resolu tion for amending the federal Constitu tion so that "no person shall be eligible to the office of President who has pre viously served two terms, whether by election or by succession due to the removal, death, resignation Or inability of the President where the term of succession shall have continued for a period of two years or more." L'ndqj the terms of the La Follette resolution, Mr,Coolldge would be in eligible for re-election next year. Un der the Fairchlld plan, he would be eligible.

THE MUTUAL TONTINE By WALTER J. OELANEY ?-oPr,j,ht w. Q. Chapman , WHOEVER devised the Mutual Tontine found ready soil for planting their policies In and about Ruddendale. At the end of thirty years most of the Inves tors In the scheme were "planted" themselves, as the phrase went, and Anally there were only two survivors ?Adam Warner and Ezra Moss. Here was the scheme: One hun dred subjects were taken at one hun dred dollars each. The surviving members of the syndicate, as It might be called, when fifty had died, were to receive six per cent on their Invest ment annually up to their death. The heirs of the final survivor were to re^ celve the amount In the pool at his demise. AH this figured out a liberal com- ! mission for the agent or trustee and for the bank where the funds were de posited. After thirty years all but two members of the original group were dead. It was then estimated that the amount the final survivor would receive wouid be approximate ly sixty-five thousand dollars. But Adam Warner and Ezra Moss seemed to have no disposition to die. It was true that both were now over eighty and were not able to go about much. Warner's heir was a grandson, Cyril Y\ arner. In the navy. AU the rest of his relatives had died off. Tile heir or, rather, heiresses of Ezra Moss were his widowed daughter, Mrs. New ell, and her only child, twenty and charming, Marcla. Mrs. Newell was sordid. She hoped to receive the opulent fund at stake. Mr. Moss had no Income except six dollars a year, nothing but his con tingent dependency. Mrs. Newell did sewing and Marcla taught school. The returns barely kept the household wheels moving. Again, In her anxiety to do all that was possible for the health and comfort of her father, Mrs. Newell spared no expense, which was a serious drain on their limited reve nue. Old Adam Warner lived alone, ex cept for a faithful man servant almost as aged as himself?David Nack. This man was terribly Jealous of his master. As Warner grew old and feeble, he shut out everybody from the house, he devoted all his time and care to Warner. One morning the neighbors ob served Nack cdme out of the Warner home In a fearful state of excitement. He was wringing his hands and acting altogether perturbed. Bent on his way to town, he paid no attention to any one until a closer acquaintance than tbe others hailed him. "Why. David," spoke this man, "whatever Is the matter?" "It's?I mean?n-nothlng!" stam mered Nack, like one distracted over some vital matter and seeking to evade any questioning regarding It 1 "I'm?I'm In a hurry. Master Is ; that Is, I want to get some medicine for him, so I can't delay." "You can wait long enough to hear | sqme news that will interest both you and Warner, I reckon," submitted his I friend. I "Hey! What's that?" demanded [ Nack, pricking ujfMils ears. "Ezra Moss." i "What about him?" "Dead?he passed away early this morning, suddenly, but painlessly." "Are you sure! Are you sure!" fairly shouted Nack, ail a-tremble. "Miss Newell Just told me. and they've sent for the undertaker." "Then-r-then!" quavered Nark. "Your master wins the Mutual Ton tine. Sixty-five thousand dollars whew. That will be great news for his grandson, Cyril. In the navy." Nack turned like a shot, homeward bound. i "Hold on!" challenged bis friend? "aren't you going after the medi [ cine 7" "Oh, no. This news of bis luck will make my master all well again!" I The Dews soon spread over the J town. All due sympathy was ex pressed for Mrs. Newell and Marcla, for Mr. Warner bad some means and they nothing. Mrs Newell was bit terly disappointed. Marcla said little but she was saddened for her moth er s sake at the struggle and poverty that loomed ahead for them. At noon that day a messenger from j tbe bank arrived at the Warner bopie. He knocked for admission at tbe well guarded door. A .window was raised overhead. "Well, what is itr Inquired a cracked feeble voice, and looking up the bank messenger recognized a fa miliar great shock of snowy white hair and whiskers, a pair of blue gog gles, the green and white sweater that Adam Warner always wore. "Oh. it'a yon, Mr Warner," cried the clerk. "Well. I've been sent by the bank to officially notify you that. as the last survivor of the Mutual Tontine fund. It la at your order." "Ye-es, 1 heard that Moss was dead. Outlived him. eh? and me nigh two years older 1 Well. I'll come or send for the money tomorrow or next day." Two days passed by. The morning of the third saw David Kack rushing out of the Warner home to shout out distractedly to his neighbors that his master had Just died. The statement was soon verified.^ Scores viewed the remains. By a strange coincidence the funerals of the two veterans happened within the same week. It was an nounced tbut the will of Adam War ner left everything to his grandson. Cyril, who had been telegraphed to and who arrived In time for the obse quies. Ue was a well looking. Intelligent young man and made no parade of his wealth. He passed most of his time In the house with old Nack, hut one dny walking In the village quite eager ly approached Mrs. Newell, who was a little ahead of him with Mania. "Madam," he spoke, lifting his cap courteously, "I wish to suggest?" But Mrs. Newell, still bitter over her great money loss, gave blip an Icy stare that drove him buck dismayed. "My mother Is not feeling herself, sir," Marcla spoke, and In the accom panying glance of regret the embar rassed young man traced a note of apology that drew him towards this possessor of the fairest face he had ever seen. Village gossips now had It that the Newells were going to remove to the city, where mother and daughter might dud more provable work. Lt was also rumored that young Cyril Warner was negotiating to buy his release from naval service, preparatory to going In to business with the capital he bad In herited. There was a knock at the doer of the Newell home two evenings later. Mrs. Newell glanced through the open window to make out the visitor. "The Idea!" she crimsoned, confront ing her daughter. "Who Is It, mamma?" inquired Mar cla. "Thnt audacious Warner! Don't an swer." "But it may be a matter of business. Come, minima, do' not let an unreason- \ able prejudice Influence you against this young man, whom people tell me Is a fuir-mlnded person," and she pro ceeded to the door and quite pleasant ly Invited the caller into the parlor. "You will pardon thy presumption In calling," Cyril Warner addressed Mrs. Newell, his face very pale. Ids com pressed lips telling of a vast internul struggle, "but I am compelled to come. The other day I wished to suggest to ? you that we divide the fund money. Today," and he pluced a black stout wallet on a table, "It Is yours?all of It" "Ours?" cried the astounded lady. "Yes, madam, by all the rights of Justice. Not one penny belongs to me. Oood day. madam. You will find sixty-live thousand dollars In that wallet." He was at the door, down the steps, striding away along the graveled path. Mrs. Newell was too overcome to fol low. Not so Marcla. She reached hlin, placed a detaining hand upon his arm. "You must tell us more." she said decisively, "or we shall return the money to you." Cyril Warner hesltaied. Then lt seemed as if he allowed Marcla to lead him to a rustic bench. With averted eyes he told her that Ids grandfather had died twenty-four hours liefore her j own. and David Nack. through mis taken fidelity to the family, had cone coaled the fact and had Impersonated the dead man when the bank messen ger came. Tlie ready. practical mind of Marcla devised a way of keeping this secret. There must be s division of the money. To this Cyril would not consent. llut love untied the knot, separated the confused strands, only to bring those two together In closer bonds, and husband and wife alone knew the real merits of the settlement of the Mutual Tontine fund Time Well Spent A great king naked some of bin courtiers how the; had passed the time In the prisons Into which their jouthful pranks had sometimes led them. One replied that he had learned math- i ematles. another drawing, a third to pla; the lute. "And you." resumed the monarch, | turning to one who kept silence, "what did you learn In your prison?" "Sire, I learned never .to go there again." 1 Rule for Guidance . We must learrt to select out the best that Is in us. the best that is in others.

Waahlnaloa. D. C-> WHILE the thermometer was 40 degrees below xero In Moscow recently, almond trees were flowering In the Crimea on the Husslan shore of the Black sea. This contrast emphasises Russia's vastness as well an It brings to notice a delightful spot of the huge country little known In Its details to Americans. Yet at the saine time. It Is a land with certain aspects known to every school child. It Is the land of the Cimmerians about whom Homer sang In the "Odyssey" and from whom the peninsula takes Its name; the lund of the Crimean war, the siege of Sevastopol, nnd the "The Charge of the Light Brigade"; the land In which Florence Nightingale first cnused effi cient, ordered mercy to . have a part In war. The Crimea Is known ns "The IJt tle Paradise" to the Tatars, last of the many races to overrun the peninsula before the land felt under the sway of the Muscovite. A traveler journeying from the north Is likely to accept this appellation, if at all, with a strong mental reservation as he crosses the almost desert-like plains of northern ! Crimea; but once over the mountains i that rim the southern shore lie will | approve the description with enthual ! asm. There nature has made .1 won derful garden spot, the Itlvlera of Russia, a combination of sea. moun tains and riotous verdure that really vied with Its famed Itulian counter part In the days when cxarliood was In flower. . Though a part of what tins come to he looked upon on the whole as "cold Russia." the southern shore of the Crimea brought to the old empire a touch-of the tropics. On the mountain slopes and In the sheltered valleys grow grapes, flgs. olives arid all the ; tender fruits; magnolias, bays, and myrtles; and a profusion of wild flow ers and grasses. That the delights of Its mild climate were discovered early Is testified by the ruins of Creek, By zantine. and Italian architecture which are to to? found among the mosques of the Inter Tatars, the palaces of the Russian Imperial family nnd nobility, and the magnificent modern hotels of the pleasure towns to which the pros perous elassesqf Russia fl-s-keil before the World war. Yalta. In those rare- j free days, was Russln's Nice. Newport and Mland rolled Into one. Many Fascinating Feature*. With a climate lhat borrow* gistd features from Florida and southern California and bad ones from many places, the Crimea I* one of the most fascinating hit* of territory between Portugal and Cochin. China. It* popu lace a congress of races, its Industries ranging from the growing of subtrop ical fruits nnd the housing of Russia's elite as they fled from the cold, to the herding of sheep and the growing of grain. It was ? place of many aided activities. As the men of wealth of America have their winter homes In Florida and those of western Europe have, theirs along the Riviera, the people of position In Russia had their country seats In the Crimea. And beautiful places they were, for In Russia the. rich were very rich. The peninsula Is occupied by ap proximately (*10.000 people, mostly Ta tars, with a scattering of Russians. Greeks. German* and Jew*. Clenntt ness and morality are said to he pro j verblal trnlta of the Crimean Tatar*, who have been undergoing the Influ reitCM of rnssltication for several geo ! erat Ions. They have taken up vftae I culture, fruit growing, and kindred <#mpatlons with a zeal seldom equalled el1st of the Aegean. The Crimen is a |>eninsula that hure l |. escape*! being an Island. It hangs : from the mainland of South Russia j down into the Black sen. like a glgan j tlc ?8tch fob shaped like a flounder. It I* attached by the narrow ribbon of I the Isthmus of I'erekop.a strip of land only three-quarters of a mile wide and , _ , ? only a few feet above aea level On one aide la'the Black aea and en the other the stagnant, shallow, melodor ous waters of the SIvateh, or Putrid sea. a lagoon of the Sea of Azov. This Is the only broken natural land- con nection between the mainland and the Crimea, but a few miles to the eust a narrow part of the Putrid sea has been bridged by the railroad which enters the peninsula. Still farther eastward a peculiar natural formation, a mere threadlike causeway of sand known as the ' Tongue of Arabat, stretches for more Hum fifty miles from the mainland to the base of the "flounder's tall" that forms the easternmost extension of the Crimea. A canal has been cut through this spit of sand near Its northern end to connect the waters of the Sea of Azov and those of the Putrid sen. The intrenching or min ing of these three narrow land en trances to the Crimea would be n rela tively simple matter from the point of view of military engineering. The greatest width of the Crimea north and south Is lit) miles, and Its greatest length from "head" to "tall" Is 225 miles. It contains about 9,700 square miles, and Is thus approximate ly the size of the state of Vermont or the Island of Sicily. The Crimea was conquered by Cath erine the Great of Russia In 1771 and i remained a part of the Ruslan empire I until that political entity's collapse ! In 1917. The bulk of the population remains Tatar, though there Is an ad mlxture of both Greek and Italian blood in the nominally Tatar people. In the Crimean war fought by Eng land, France and Turkey against Rus sia the final test of strength came at Sevastopol, on the west const of the Crimea. Here the factors nf.unllmlted resour*-es unrated In the allleq' favor. Through their command of the sea they cotlld secure everything needed, while the Russians could bring up their supplies only across the barren steppes, whose highways were marked at every step by the dead and the dying, both man and beast. Sevastopol and Its Palaces. -It is estimated that 50.900 British - soldierlt lie burled in the cemetery out side of Sevastopol. Before the World war this vast City of the Dead was watched over by a German who could' speak no English, but who was proud of his privilege of guarding the ashes of those who fell at Balaklava and Inkerman. Sevastopol remained until 1917 a i great military post for the old Russian ! regime, and It was as well the home jMjrt of the Russian Black sea fleet. From there, according to cherished Im perial dreams, was to go forth, on the Russian counterpart of "Der Tag." the forces that would wrest the Bosporus ! and Dardanelles from the Turk, and place the cross of St. George over Con i stnntinople and the Cross of Christ j over Sancto Sophia. The Imperial l.argo palace, to which ! It waa once decided to send the late czar. Is situated at I.lvadia. surround ' id by a magnificent park. It is of re ' rent construction, and was completed : only about fifteen yenrs ago. Hard j by Is the simply constructed Small pal I ace. in an upper room of which Alex I ander HI died. In no other country In the world was the reigning ruler possessed of so many lands or such extensive properties as was the case In Russia. . Southern Crimea Is a garden land. Its fruits were.famous in the north- - erp Russian markets, and from Its i grapes a full-bodied, spicy wine -was made. Vineyards covered more than ? 19.000 acres of the Crimea, and (mm them about 3.500.000 Heltons of (Ine quality wine wusiroadc each year. The waters around the peninsula abound in delicate fish, such as red and gray mullet, herring, mackerel, turbo*, soles, i4hlce. whiting, bream, haddock, pilchard, a species of pike, whltcML eels, islmon and sturgeon.
