 How does it feel to be so short that you can look a worm straight in the eye without bending over?" Colonel Smith was asked. "Ahem!" grunted Colonel Smith as he stepped on chair and reaching up one arm placed his hand on the shoulder of 9 normal sized man, We short men are proud of our lack of height and if the Short Guys Brigade, of which 1 am commander, can be rounded up for warfare drill before we enlist, think we will be able to show Tony Frieburg and the other giants in this town that height is not might when it comes to military tactics"
 Are the Short Guys planning any new branches for their com pany?" asked the reporter.
 Yes" relied the colonel. "We are going to organize a squad of cavalry"
 Where will you get enough horses?"
 "The Short Guys cavalry wont need horses" explained Colonel Smith, We will ride to the front on fox terriers. The brigade has no fear of getting injured during the fighting unless we get stepped on. That is all I care to be quoted as saying"

TVPORD from Washington that M the height limit for war WV army recruits had been
 altered so as to allow small men to enlist was received last night with great joy by Colon el Darcy Smith and Captain Frank Gallagher, of the staff of the Short Guys Brigade, an amateur military organization of this city.
 Colonel Smith has for several months contended that short men make the best fighters, and he stated in an interview last night that the action of the war depart ment yesterday proves that, as usual. he was right.
 ''The action of the government vindicates us short guys" said Colonel Smith. For years we embryonic Napoleons and Funs- tons have been given the rough toss whenever. men were wanted for the army and navy. Now we are offered the chance to prove that though we are short of stat ure we are long in courage. am confident the short men of the na- tion will win the war.
 "The short man has many ad- vantages over the tall. lanky soldiers, for instance; the order to charge the enemy is given and the short guys jump from the trenches and start after the kraut- eaters 'ditches. The Germans may fire at the tall boys. but the runts can get over to the enemy and poke bayonets in their shins before the Fritz boys look down and see them.

MEDIATORS AT GLOBE
 ABANDON ALL HOPE

ton saying the strikers and operators were apparently deadlocked and, with the United States troops, mounted deputy sheriffs and home guards in control of the situation. there seemed little hope of an early agreement be- tween operators and strikers through federal mediation. Judge Mcbride recommended that the mediation con ferences .here be discontinued for the prsent at least, and suggested going ! to Jerome tomorrow. where the closed shop ultimatum of the unions expires Friday.
 Coupled with the departure of Gov ernor Thomas Campbell for Phoeniy last night, and the announcement. by Walter Douglas, president of the 1 Phelps Dodge corporation and direc- tor of the Old Dominion company, that there would be no compromise between the strikers and his company. Judge McBride's message to Washington made it clear tonight that arbitration could accomplish little at the present state of the strike in this district.
 Jerome Encouraging. Judge Mcbride was more hopeful to night of a satisfactory solution of the strike problem at Jerome where the I. W. w., leaders were deported re gently. He received a message from one of the operators in that district to- day saying that the companies were pleased with the attitude the Interna- tional Union of Mine Mill and Shelter Workers had taken toward the I. W w. element and the general way in which the International Unions strike had been conducted.
 A demand was made for a closed shop" at Jerome. the ultimatum eX- piring Friday Because the situation has been complicated by tie activities of the I. w. w. leaders in that dis trict, an effort is being made to have the time limit extended and Presi dent Charles Mover. of the Interna- tional Union, has been appealed to in an effort to have this done.
 Former Governor George w. P Hunt, President Wilson's personal rep resentative on the mediation board concurred tonight in Judge McBride's statement to the department of labor that there was no immediate hope oi reaching a settlement of the strike diff ferences in this district.

WOULD CONDEMN OLD BUILDING
CITY Of Moscow Brings Action Against
Owner of Frame Structure on
Main Street

Suit was begun in the district court
here today by the City of Moscow
against Mason A. Cornwall to abate
an alleged nuisance in the. form of an
old frame building on lower Main
street, in the A. Henry addition to the
city.
In the complaint it is set forth that
this frame building is "old, decayed,
dilapidated, weather-beaten, neglected,
wasted, ruined and unoccupied."
Some time ago the owner under
took to improve the building with a
view to renting it for business pur-
poses. The legal action taken is to
prevent this and to condemn it as a
nuisance.
