Opposes Pensions.

imposes PENSIONS.
Declaring that the civil service en-
ployes are not entitled to receive pen
sions. another employe wrote to The
Star as follows. after stating he had
been in the service five years:
Il do not think there is any sense,
justice or reason in harping on any
retirement plan. We are all free born
Americans and can retire whenever
We choose and will do so whenever
we can get a better job that will pay
us more money for the same amount
of work
I'VE are not serving the government
for patriotic motives, and articles like
the one in The Star of the I'D which
lnslnuate such appear very ridiculous.
The average civil service employe
is not. in my opinion. rendering nearly
SO much real service for the nation as
the average farmer. who tolls for ten
hours each day and six days each
week to produce some of the neces-
Saries of life.
Observation Of the past nve years
has convinced me that. measured by
the true principle of political econ
omy, he who produces less than he
consumes is a negative force, while he
who produces more than he consumes
is the positive force the average en-
ploye in the service would grade a
negative-drawing salary of $1,000
to $1,000 per annum for seven hours
per day of about twothirds of the
DAYS in the year and the remainder
Of the time wasting in shopping and
theater-going and outings and doing
nothing that really benehts himseii or
any one eise.

SOCIETY JOURNALS
 UNSUCCESSFUL FINANCIALLY

Little Rock, Nov. 11.-Fraternal so- ciety journals have not proven a shining financial success, as a rule, in Arkansas, with some notable excep- tions. The Masonic Trowel, which has been published for years by Col. George Thornburg, is extremely pop ular among the Masons. Another fraternity paper that is doing well is the A. o. U. w. Guide which has just completed it's fifth volume. It is pub lished monthly by the Grand Lodge, and edited by H. L. Cross, Grand Rec order, is one of the best known news paper men of the state The publica- tion however, while only five years old in Little Rock, was established P years ago, while Arkansas was part of the Texas jurisdiction, with Louis jana. At that time there were only 4,034 members in the three states, or fewer than there are now in Arkan- sas alone.

SITUATION ADMIT
 TED AS GRAVE
Viscount Peel in Motion Declar- ed it to be Duty Government to Exercise More Efficient Control over Expenditures.

London, Nov. 10.-During the de- bate in the House of Lords this even- ing on motion of Viscount Peel, de- claring it to be the duty of the gov ernment to exercise more effective supervision and control of navy and military expenditures.
 Baron Davenport said the country could not continue as it had been in- definitely and maintain financial sovereignty. He added that the sit nation was one of gravity. Lord Peel in support of his motion said that the figures which were given as to the expenditure on war and civil esti- mates for full year approached very nearly to the aggregate amount of the income of the nation. He doubted whether the government was suffi- clently serious in enforcing economy. The government had acted only half heartedly in restricting the excess of imports and while advising the nation to practice economy there was not evi- dence that the government was setting an example.
 Lord Davenport thought it likely that the government would have to resort to a forced plan. "We cannot go on indefinitely and maintain our financial sovereignty. There is no doubt that the next war loan will be subscribed, but what of the loan af- ter that and the loan after that again 2"

FOREIGNER ON OUR
 MODES OF TRAVEL
Says American Distance Needs an Antidote-Finds it in
 Firestone Tires

"The first thing which impresses me, of course, is what all visitors to your country talk about-your vast distances"
 The speaker was Mir. H. F.. Smith of John Haddon and Company, London He had just come away from the San Francisco Fair and had a fresh im- pression of the importance we give to travel methods, which are the first thing to impress any visitor to this country.
 "We talk of beautiful spots abroad but can one say that anything here is a 'spot?' However, there are al ways your automobiles"
 The visitor then went on to say that present-day activities justified the old saying that for every condition there was counteracting infuence-and that the influence which cancels dis tance in this country is our wonderful modes of travel.
 "Of all these modes the motor-car commands the greatest admiration, and since have made study of tires feel that the automobile owes much of its efficiency to Firestone Tires" ."

U. ,. ASKS FOR
 FULL STATEMENT
According to Consular Report on
 Affair, British Cruiser is Ly- ing Outside Mexican Port Awaiting Departure of Ship.

Washington, Nov. 10.-Great Brit am was formally asked today by the United States for information con- cerning the recent search of the Amer ican ship Zealandia in the Mexican port of Progreso, by a landing party from a British cruiser. Ambassador Page was instructed to make inquiry through the London foreign office.
 A report from American Consul John w. Geman at Progreso stated that the Zealandia was forcibly searched by men from a British cruis- CT now lying outside the harbor, pre- sumably waiting to seize the vessel. In the absence of complete data state department officials were not inclined to comment on the case but it was indicated that it might develop new points in the neutrality situation prompting Mexico as the United States to enter protest to Great Brit ain.
 The Zelandia sailed from the Unit ed States for Tampico and was re- ported to have hoisted a German flag at sea though this was denied by the owners. She is said to have German crew aboard and a cargo of rosin con- signed to Sweden. Varying reports concerning the cargo and alleged pur- pose of the captain of the Zealindio to undertake commerce raiding caused the British admiral in charge of the patrol off the Atlantic coast to dis patch vessel to determine the mer- chantman's status and intentions.
 It is reported that on searching the Zealandia the British officer in charge of the landing party found no arma- ment. What his conclusion was as to the character of the cargo has not been revealed but the consulars report indicated that the ship would be siezed the moment she attempted to leave the port.
 If the vessel is American owned with no change in registry involved the American government desires to know on what grounds search was conducted in a neutral port. In the natural course Mexico also would en- ter a protest but as Great Britain has not recognized the de facto govern ment the situation is somewhat com plicated.
 As soon as the facts are established however, the state department will advise the Mexican government of what occurred. In the event that it should develop that the Mexican port authorities had no means of resisting the entry of the British seamen the good office of the United States to prevent recurrence of such incidents might be enlisted by Mexico.

UNCLE SAM CAN'T
 KEEP HIS COOK s

New York, Nov 11.-Uncle Sam, rich and powerful, good to his help" and the surest pay in the world, cant keep his cooks any longer or better than the ordinary Jersey commuter He offers them good pay, easy hours, and lots of nights out" but they simply will not overlook the fact that they are cooks, bred and born, and so keep moving on.
 United States Marine Corps statis- tics covering the last two years, show a greater percentage of men deserted who gave occupation prior to entry as "cooks' than any other class that enlisted during the period.
 Desertions from the Marine Corps are very light at all times; the aver age Marine considers that the service offers better advantages than any thing he could find in civil life, and he believes the opportunities for travel and adventure to be unexce.led, and were it not for the cooks, Marine Corps officials believe that the oldest branch of the service" would have an almost clean slate with regard to assertions. No class of men look so lightly on the oath of obligation as these self-same knights of the frying pam, Marine Corps recruiters declare.
