LITTLE NATIONS AND SURVIVAL

, "Balkanization of Kurepe" and of the trials

that a friuaii uatieu is uecus-
wrily a wrecked nation has been vldcly
circulated since the war. It Is, of course,
worth consideration, but net h a historical
axiom. Dr. Ilaln may be prejudiced, but
he had adduced facts te show that Austria
Is net utterly bereft of resources.
It Is worth remembering, moreover, that
even though surrounded by great and power
ful neighbor the Swls have succeeded In
surviving without a seaboard and without
coal deposits.
The latest plan for the recovery of Aus

possibility exits ale of a Danube con

The rout te rehabilitation Is thorny.

PEPPER AND THE COAL MEN:
SOMETHING NEW IN POLITICS
Forbearance, a Sense of Impartial Jus
tice ahd a Will te Understand as
Substitutes for the Big Stick
rPIII!HK N in some men a quality which,
- for tlie want of a mere definite term,
might he tailed ceurte of mind. It reflects
itself in piticme and teleiunce, In an
Illuminating sense of humor. In a fixed
regard for all just principle nnd In n kind
of in'el e.-mal a..irarcc which, re-enforced
b !car perception of changing rights and
vi-n-igs, ni'i and line afil give all sort
et gi 'itxu ..dv.iii'age te an adversity less
fei tunat-'.v 0 1 till i'd.
Yeu hive thai gift or jeu haven't. It
i net a characteristic- of anv particular
hind or cla of people. It doesn't come
from an.v particular sort of education ether
than the edui itien of experience applied te
a sensitive mind. Becaue tolerance nnd
the wisdom of humor and patience arc
seldom encountered in the battlefield of
1 ontemperar.v politic, it i worth observing
that it wa courtesy of mind, rather than
an of the mere theatrical device of current
economic philosophy, that enabled Senater
I'epper te bring tempeinr order out of the
toiifusleu in the anthracite held.
Already It Is being said that "I'epper'
victory" i remlniient of Icensevclt and
bis achievements In a emevvhtt .-Imiiar
emergency. It Is, In fact, tee earl te a,v
whether the adjustment effected at the ieal
lenferenecs here nia.v be called a victory
for mi both. Certainly a public eonfiented
with 1 limbing coal prices and the threat of
a winter short ige due te diminished sup
plies and nippled j steins of transport
cannot feel that it is victorious.
One thing, however. .Mr I'epper did by
methods whnll unlike the method of Roose
velt. He epene I the via te an iniuudlate
resumption of anthracite mining. He bad
no big stick and none of the power or the
fae illties of the Federal Government te
help him I'n'lke Senater Herd, Sinaler
I'epper does net appear 10 have hi en even
s'lghtly biased lu favor of the corpeiation.
He was net se foolish or se uncharitable as
te suppose tint workmen in th,e coal Held
wnald bung the miseries of eviction and
hunger nnd general drstitutiea upon them
selves mid thcti families without what the
believed te be erv geed reason. And.
utilise snine rjf these avowed friend of
labor who are in reality labor's in mic. lie
didn't believe that a majority of the men
who have Invested their money and their
working .vears in the mining industry are
incurably selfish and inhumanely cruel.
When Mr I'epper begin with the simple
assumption tint the miner and his em em
ple.ver h ive at bottom the same sort of con
st tence and the s.mie tapaeity for feeling
anil the tame ba-n concerns he could net
fail.
The time came when Warriner and Lewi
alike wen te him with their trouble, net
beeau'e one 1'nited States Senater could
show them 11 way of escape from a wilder
niss eif Industrial 1 oiifuslen never yet
charted or explored, but because at heart
all the opposing leaders of the employing
and union gieup are si, k of the passion and
unreason and . ielc in e and futility of these
half-taught and dangerous amateurs who
still believe that ou can really subdue the
minds of men b the use of clubs and In
junctions and threats of jail.
It may be that politics In "Washington
nnd, Indeed, all political thinking as it is
done by the few who engage In that least
fashlennb'e of pastime are ke.vcd tee high.
The Senate has a way of seeming te shriek
when it has an thing Important te de or
sav Washington Is new In a fever. It la
obviously und shamelessly excited.
Vet people who are sure of themselves
necer get e.xt ited. The knew that truth 1
quite as mighty as the legend -nvs it U and
that it will prevail whether statesmen want
it te or net, ami that right docs Invariably
assert Itself without asking for the aid or
consent of parliaments. And they knew
that there aie some great issues which can
be better disposed of through un appeal te
the natural human sense of decency than
by appeals te law, and that the rule of
common cemtey, as It is established be
tween men, If ou have the sense anil
gi ace te epply it i will often be mere swift
and effee tual a remedy for economic and
social ills than n rule from u bench. There
is tee little humor In Washington, or,
rather, tee little of the instinctive wisdom
of which generous humor is the outward
sign
Ceurtesv of mind was wholly absent from
Congress during the years of the debate en
the League of Nations. It is absent new.
Mr. t'empers is without It. Se Is Attorney
General Daugherty.
Yeu might suppose, listening te the shouts
and the threats of these hours, that the Fed Fed
eiatlen of Laber could disrupt the country
if It wished and that Mr. Daugherty is
neeiled te save us from worse than death
Yet we have been meie than once tliruilgh
troubles , incomparably guater than the
tieuble of even 11 genernl stiike would lie
and we survived and carried no marks. We
are net se enervate el jjs, 11 people that a
little hardship eeuld seriously hint us. It
mu he what we need as an antidote for
jazz.
That, however, Is aside. What we
starteel out te say ts that the significance
of Mrj I'eppi'r's weik In thn coal eon een

DR. C. P. FRANKLIN
On Effects of War en the Eyes
ONE of i
far as
the chief effects of the war. In se
s tlie ejesignr 01 cue seituer i
concerned, was te call the attention of the
men te the fart that their sight was one of
tlie most impeitant functions of the human
body and needs attention, snxs Dr. C. P.
Franklin, who lias cb.uge of the division
of optometry of tlie Veterans' Bureau of
this district, nnd who was n lieutenant
colonel In the Medical Cerps In the war.
"In most wn.vs," said Dr. Franklin, "the
problem eif the eyes of the veterans does
net differ materially fiem that of the gen
eral public, .except in a few particulars. A
Iaige proportion of them have the usual
lefraetive crreis which were net noticed
until they Svere collected b the Govern
ment, as is done for any one by private
practitioners.
"The Government docs net supply 'glasses
at Government expense exiept for certain
classes of men. These who nre gianted
vocational training me supplied with glasses
where they tuc needed ns pint of the neces
sarv equipment for training. The Govern
ment also HtippMcs glasses te men under
tieutnient in euses wheie the will be of
benefit in correcting certain conditions. Tlijs
applies partlcul.nlv te nervous diseases,
from which a suiprhlngly laige peicentage
of the men Mifler as u result of the shock
and stiain of war.
Poison Gas and Optic Nerve
"The Government will have the eyes of
anv vtteran who applies for it examined,
this seivlce being free, but unless the con cen
eliilcuis xx 1 ich 1 have mentioned exist, the
soldier must supply his own glasses.
"One of the most interesting things which
I beginning te appear in the medical and
genei.il welf.ue weik anions the veteians is
111" pes-lbilltv of the effect of the xaileus
pol'en gases 'used dining the war upon the
optic ncive of the gassed men.
"This is only n theory ns et. because the
use of gas In win fare is se new that it may
lake Unie, perhaps jenrs, beftire the degen
erative iffeit of the gas en the optic nerve
vv'll appear. Fer that matter, it mil never
appear, but we arc beginning te suspect that
the gassttl man may pesblv. even venrs
after the Government has rehabilitated lilm
in etbei wn.vs. show' defects of vision
thrnugli the Influence of the poison gases en
the optic nerve. '
"The matter of the optical condition of
the veterans is Impeitant psveholeglcallv.
Most nf them before the war felt that they
were normal and sound, because nothing in
their peaee-tline lives had ci'ilteied nttentlen
en their plivslenl condition, and this was
fiequentl the case with their sight. The
could see, and that was all they thought
iiitessar.v.
"But wltli the war came the necessity for
detailed phv sit nl examination, both for enlist
ment and for discharge, anil this, tegetlur
with the fact that elurlng servlie the weie
in ficqucut contact with elamaged men, both
mentalh nnd pli.vslcall , they became con
scious of their tie feet. With the natuial
human tenth nc.v te exaggerate these things
thev found themselves handicapped hv ee
stinin, which, befeie the war, tlie had tin tin
iiinscleusl oveieeme. But with the cnu
scimisncss of deft ets came also the desire te
have them collected.
here 'I here Was Itcal Damage
"Tin se eases were, of course, considered
i. as one. Tliey were taken e.tru of by pin
vldlng, after examination, the pieper glasses
suitable for relieving eve si rain where tills
was net ilue te llie war, but had been ex
aggt lated by the war conditions. Tlie
excellent ps.vcholeglcal effect of this collec
tion was often apparent lu the results ob
tained by Heating ether conditions,
"Mut the most inteiestlng cases te the
specialist aie these in whleh mtun! damage
had been done te the titular appaiatus hv
gunshot wound. These, in e ciiupinlstiii with
the ether ease's, are. happilj, few and far
bit ween. Mat. If the war hail continued
even n shiut time longer theie ueuild have
been u far larger peicentage nt cc eluinagu
done than actuull) eccuiicil.
"On the ether side, at the fient, I had
aliiad outlined a plan fei tin better pro pre
lit Hen of the ces of the soldiers in thn
finiit lines. One fsatuie of this protection
was goggles of uiiliD akahle glass, nr lather
glass which, nit I it m, h ciatked b.v elu t-sphish

there was little clanger te the ejes them

Psychology of the Veteran
