SOLON SEEKS LIGHT ON
u. S.-RUSSIAN PROBLEM
Senator johnson Threatens t
Smoke Out" Administration.

The Russian problem bids fair to
become great in this country, after
the holidays, as it now is in Eng
land.
Senator Hiram Johnson intends to
try to smoke out" the administra-
ton as to its Russian information
and policy. On the other hand. the
State Department, which has been
asked by Johnson's resolution, for
a full statement, is agreeable to
presenting the data, though may not
be inclined to do so publicly. There
are no indications of an American
troop retirement at this time, nor,
on the contrary. are there any signs
that either England or the United
States are committed to extension
of military work in Russia.

Combat whisky.

Twas the night before Christmas.
A quart of red eye stood on the
mantle in the home of Charlie Daw-
son, on Seventh street southwest
The more Charlie looked at it, the
more he wanted Ii. And the first
thing the booze knew it was inside of
Charlie, every drop of it.
Just imagine a whole quart of liquor
swallowed at once. OF course it got
in its work right of the bat.
Charlie began to imagine all sorts
OF things about man who roomed
in the house. He said mean things to
his wife. He even choked her.
The roomer interfered- Charlie got
so out of hand that it was necessary
for the roomer to crack him over the
head with the bottle.
And so Charlie drank another pint.
He sure had some capacity.
The fight started again. Charlie
was on the bottom all the time and
in FIVE minutes buckets Of blood were
spilled on the new carpet
Charles wife ran out and got a
policeman. People in the neighbor-
ing apartments were scandalized
when they saw the bluecoat come in.
When Charlie showed up in court
with a buzz-saw.
The court said that both men were
to blame. Neither should have drank
so much booze. The roomer was fined
SIS and Charlie was fined $40 besides
having his wife tell the court what
a bad man he was.

MAGYARS STIRRED HUN
MINE REVOLT, HE SAYS
Czecho-Slovak Diplomat Denies
Vienna Report of Coal Shortage.

Vienna complaints that the
Czecho Slovak government has re-
fused to give Austria coal are de-
MED as utterly false by DR.. Charles
Pergler. Czecho-Slovak diplomatic
representative here.
Pergler said yesterday he had
been advised by the Czecho-Slovak
foreign office that the Magyars had
been attempting to stir up a revolt
of German miners in Bohemia at the
very time that the Prague govern
ment was consigning stipulated coal
shipments to German Austria
The accusation that we fail to
furnish Vienna with coal is design
ed to compromise US in the eyes of
the entente" said Pergler.
ut is but a manifestation of the
now notorious Magyar propaganda
of falsehoods."

Judge Mcmahon Lenient
with 10 Xmas ''Drunks'

Nineteen men and two women faced
Judge Mcmahon Christmas morning
in police court. With the exception
of two cases of disorderly conduct
every one of them was charged with
intoxication.
Each one, as the case was called,
pleaded Christmas as an excuse for
drinking too much. Judge Mcmahon
was not in a mood to send any one
to Jail yesterday. Those who could
afford to pay were fined the smallest
amount, SO, and the others were
placed on probation. Court lasted two
hours, but the docket was clear when
Judge Mcmahon left for his home to
enjoy his Christmas dinner.

George tried to show that the four

Then he tried to tell the court what

He couldn't show a scratch even
though he swore that Ruth nearly

And so the court ordered him to
