The Unemployed.

Not since the Cleveland admins
tration have more men been out of
employment than at the present
time. Here in Carroll county. where
We are engaged largely in the pur-
suit of agriculture. we do not come
to know of the number of unemploy-
ed as do the cities and manufactur-
ing Localities.
Last week in New York City the
municipal employment bureau was
visited In one day by $500 appli-
cants. and they had only four jobs
to offer. This represents but one of
the thousands of daily occurrences.
We are not taking up the role of
the calamity bowler. but these are
cold facts. II is the old story OF
the "empty dinner pail" These
thousands OF unemployed are de-
handing their daily bread. II the
present administration cannot give
them employment then the only logi-
cal conclusion is that they will ask
for the return of the party that gave
to them full dinner pail and the
most prosperous times that they ever
enjoyed. up

Wilson's MEXICAN
POLICY ATTACKED
Senator Lodge Says Military DC
cupation Is Now Only Course
Left to Pursue.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Senator
Lodge attacked President Wilson.
Mexican policy i'm the Senate today
during a review of the urgent def
cheney bill. The error of the Admin
istration's course, he said, had begun
with the refusal to recognize Gen
Huerta, on moral grounds rather
than on the broader international
grounds on which it could have been
based.
"The spectacle of the United Stat
es at war with Victoriano Huerta,"
Senator Lodge said, was not a pleas
ing one for Americans to contem-
plate"
OF the occupation of Vera Cruz,
Senator Lodge said he had been told
the Presidents agents had advised
him there would be no resistance.
When it came. he added, "the Ad-
ministration did not seem to have
much stomach for the unexpected
fight and took shelter beneath the A.
B. c. mediation
With the departure of Huerta
Senator Lodge said the object of the
President had been accomplished,
but the policy of the United States
had not advanced one step.
what has been the condition in
Mexico since?f Our two allies. Villa
and Carranza, fell to fighting. What
is the condition in Mexico today?
Anarchy is too polite a name for it.
The social order has collapsed. l
fear it is too late to adopt any policy
unless it be military occupation,
which all of us would deplore."
The Senator asserted 200 Ameri-
can lives had been lost in Mexico
without reparation "being secured
or demanded" .t.
rFifty-two Americans recently have
been killed or wounded on the border
at Naco." the Senator continued.
Gen. Scott said that IL there was any
more shooting there. he would stop
it. There was more shooting after
the General made this declartion,
and he did not stop it. Knowing
Gen. Scott, as l do. l am inclined to
think that he may have been pre-
vented from stopping 1t.
"The treatment of Americans is
4 revolving story. unfortunately only
too we'll authenticated. The situa-
ion was SO bad when President Will
'on delivered his last message to Con-
sress that the only manner in which
ne could treat 1t was with absolute
silence"

Wild PANIC IN

AS a result of the accident the

time only limited local service was

ed meeting tomorrow. will decide
to formally break off all negotiations
with the United Mine Workers

make overtures to the miners as in
dividuals to work "open shop" under
the scale rejected by the miners or
ganization, was the belief expressed
tonight by those in touch with the
situation. While the operators de-
clined to make an official statement,
II was learned from an authoritative
source that sentiment expressed by
operators at today's session indicat-
ed this action.
An unannounced development in
connection with the meeting of the
operators today was a Joint confer

tional secretary of the mine workers
organization, and John Moore, presi-
dent of the Ohio miners organiza-
ton, These two miners officials
first met all the operators and then
held a conference with the seven OPP
