Mr. Lawrence and Europe
Beginning Tuesday David
Lawrence is to he heard from
on the European situation.
The Advance pays a stiff
price for the Lawrence dis
patches?ii third as much as it
does for its regular Associated
Press service covering the news
of the entire ^orld. The Ad
vance believes that Mr. Law
rence's dispatches are worth to
this newspaper what they cost it
?else they would be discontin
ued. Our Associated Press ser
vice is not full?and Mr. Law
rence, with an uncanny sense of
the topic of dominant interest,
-Clothes the bare skeleton of
news Supplied ns by The Asso
ciated Press, with flesh and
( blood. Not only so, he inter
prets the news?a matter which
is beyond the province of The
Associated Press and which ev
en if we had full leased wire As
sociated Press service, would
make Mr. Lawrence's dispatch
es to The Advance worth while.
The Advance regards Mr.
Lawrence as an astute observer
of American politics. But when!
it comes to European affairs, i
The Advance doubts Mr. Law
rence's ability, with the oppor
tunities of observation that haw
come to him up to this time and|
that will come to him during his J
brief stay in Old World capitals,]
to see very far below the surface
of things in these capitals. The
Advance had a very distinct im
pression, when Mr. Lawrenca:
was writing of the disarmament j
conference at Washington, that'
he, had permitted the British
P"eHS agents to pull the wool ov
er Ills eyes.
'J The most brilliant?and the1
least partisan of the writers oil'
the European "situation, in the'
opinion of The Advance, is':
Prank H. Simonds. Mr. Sim-:
onds wrote a contemporary his
tory of the World War and since
the World War the European j
situation has been his constant j
study. Here is a quotation from;
his latest article:
"Nlne-tentha of all of the talk
about militarism 1h merest eyewash,
a part of the legitimate hut decep
tive propaganda by which the Rrltifth '
seek to control world nentiment nnd
use It agalnM the French and the
TIelglans for Jlritlah profit, and for
obvloun reanons the nermann have
followed the Tlritiah lead and are
thundering away on the name line.
Brltlah and German intercut* up to,
a certain point at leaat are Identical:
the Rrltlfth have no particular ten
derness for th? nermann hut they do
want the German market nnd you
cannot pave the market without 1
?paring the nation."
Now let's hear what Mr. Law-1
?ence has to say.

CLERKS SORT MAIL
IN SPEEDING PI ANE
i-ondon. July 16.?A ' flying mail
train" is the latest type of airplane
to -be developed in England.
In the plane's mall-chamber, says
the IXilIy Chronicle's aeronautical
expert, sorters win be able carry
on their work Just as they might in
; a railway mail-train. It will have a
radius of 2.000 miles and will t>o I
able to stay in the air 24 hours wlth
: out alighting. The crew in charge
will be provided with regular sleep
ing quaYters on board. They will.'
In fact, work in shifts while in th??
air. some of them sleeping while
others are on duty in the control
chamber.
| If necessary, when flying at night
? or Immersed in fog or -choud, the
'crew will be able to bring tirto play
mechanisms which will endow the
craft with the power of automatic'
self-balance. The machine will vir
tually fly itself, and all the helms
man will hav? to do will be to keep
it on a com pans course by means of
the rudder.
SUPREME COURT TO
| DECIDE HARD QUESTION
Washington, July 16.?The Su
' preme Court has been asked to de
cide whether the counterfeiting In 1
this country of Canadian securities!
can be punished under the penal |
[code. The question was before the :
Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals for'
solution, but that co^rt found it so!
perplexing that it called upon the
highest court for instructions.
Isadore Luvisch was convicted In
the Federal District Co^irt for east
ern Michigan of counterfeiting Can- i
indian excise stamps, and was sen
While serving the sentence he ap- j
t??!)<?.-d to five years in Leavenworth. '
I piled to Federal District Court of
I Kansai for a writ of habeas corpus,
[which ordered his discharge on th<t I
ground that the offense for which h ? |
i had been convicted did not Conatt
I tutu a violation of any law of the!
|l'uited States. The warden of the j
'penitentiary, while holding Luviscli |
Jin confinement, took the case to thef.
? Federal Court of Appeals for that
circuit, which suspended further pro^
'ceedings until the Supreme Court
. >uId consider and pass upon th??
question.
Finds Saving in Co*t
of Making Electricity
Washington, July 16.?The United
States is becoming an increasingly 4
heavier user of electricity, but des
pite the mounting power totals, the
consumption of fuel to produce it Is
decreasing - In proportion. Geologi
cal survey figures show that purpose
in 1922 was only 2.6 pounds a kilo
watt hour, as compared with 3.2
pounds In 1919.
A total of 47,659,000.000 kilowatt
hours yas generated last y?ar. Of
this amount 36.1 percent was gen
erated by yater power. New York
leads the lis! of siates in production,
manufacturing 15.57 percent of the
total for the country. Other states
In order are Pennsylvania. Califor
nia. Illinois. Ohio, Michigan, Massa
chusets and West Virginia.
