LIFT BAN ON GOLD AND SILVER

The War Industries Board has lift ed the ban on the use of gold and sil- yer in the manufactures. but the ban on export still exists. Should gold be subjec; to export it would be but short time until all the new gold would be in Europe. At the present time the German government would give better than 80 per ounce for the gold and a high price for the silver. The fac; that gold is the basic money metal of the greater part of the world and that some of the European coGn- tries are almost depleted of the metal makes it imperative that some of them stock up with this money metal with all possible speed.-Mohave Miner.

ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING
 DAY

The first Thank sgiving Day was observed by the Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth. Mass, 1921. The set settlers and their Indian guests feasted on wild turkeys and deer.
 During the revolution Thanks giving was a national institution. annually recommended by con gress: but after the general Thanksgiving for peace in 17S4, here was no national appointment until l1s9. when Washington, by request of congress. recommended a day of thanksgiving for the adop- ton of the constitution.
 Washington issued second proclamation of thanksgiving in 1195. on account of instruction. There was thanksgiving for peace in 1915. until which time Thanks giving had been mainly New Eng land custom.
 During the Civil war, 1So3-6i. Lincoln issued proclamations rec ommending annual Thanksgivings Since then proclamation has been issued annually.

General Pershing Sends Report

Says They Complain of Scanty
Food. Bad Housing.

Washington, Dec. BIASED on a
report from General Pershing, the war
department announced today that
American prisoners released from Ger
man prison camps complain of scanty
food and bad housing conditions.
"Only small per cent of those who
are sick are hospital cases." the state
ment continues.
MANY are suffering from slight
colds. actically all recover rapidly
with proper food and housing.
There is as yet no evidence of dis
elimination against Americans. Among
1000 prisoners of all nationalities,
there have been no authenticated in
stances of brutality against Ameri-
cans. The majority of American pris-
onerS state that German soldiers also
suffered food privations. but that in
cases where the supply of food was
insufficient. food for prisoners was
cut off for them before it was for
German soldiers"

FIGHT IS BREWING
Peru and Chile May Mix on the
Battlefield Yet.
The Armies of Both Countries
Are Being Modified.

Washington, Dec. 2.-War on the
South American west coast is threat
ened unless the United States or con-
certed powers intervene. in the Peru>
Chile dispute; according to Latin
American diplomats here today.
Latest advices from Lima and San
tiago verified reports of mobilization
at both capitals. Both the Chilean
embassy and the Peruvian 4egation
admitted that undoubtedly a crisis was
at hand. -
The most serious aspect, in the
opinion of diplomats. was the evidence
that attempts are being made to form
alliances that in the event of hostiii-
ties might throw the entire continent
into war.
Dispatches announcing the recall of
the Brazilian minister to Peru were
held to be without logical foundation.
Rumors mentioned a lineup of Bra
zll, Bolivia and Peru against Chile, Ar
ge1tine and Mexico. 1t was also sug-
gested by Latin-American diplomats
that Bolivia and Argentina might
stand by Peru against Chile, owing to
Chile's admitted military and naval
superiority. The general diplomatic
view was that Chile, insisted on fore
ing the war to bring about the abrog-
alton of the treaty regarding the oc-
cupied provinces of Tacna-Arica. 1t is
! declared that she feels certain her re-
tentton of the territory will not be up
lheld at the peace table in France and
! that she has. all to win and nothing to
: lose in a brisk conflict that might en-
able her to becloud the real issues in
volved. -.s
The United Press is able to an
nounce today official verification OF
its exclusive report several weeks ago
that Peru will positively make formal
submission to the peace conference OF
her demands for a fairly conducted
J plebescite in Tacna-Arica. q
| The Peruyians contend. that "Presi-
dent Wilson's statements in the matter
of self of peoples gives
Peru a feeling of perfect confidence
| in the early realiz2tion of justice" and

A Plot in Berlin.
London, Dec. "A plot to restore
Imperialism and secure the return of
Emperor William has been discovered
in Berlin, according to a dispatch from
Amsterda- to the Express.
According to the dispatch, which
was filed at Amsterdam, the chief men
behind the plot were Field Marshal
Won Mackensen, General Won Born and
General Count Sixth Won Arnim. 1t
:; said that they instructed the Prus-
sian officers corps to carry on pro-
emperor agitation. beginning i'm
mediately after the rehabilitation of
the troops was completed. Large
sums of money are said to have been
placed at the disposal of the leaders
by munition makers.
The plot collapsed owing to the fact
that a secret service agent overheard a
telephone conversation. Many arrests
have been made in Berlin and other
cities. while the government has long
lists of suspects. who had planned to
seize members Of the present govern
ment. No direct evidence of William
Hohenzollern's connection with the
plot has been found, it is said, but it is
believed that the outline of the plot
was brought to Berlin by two Of his
suite who recently went TO the German
capital for the -ostensible purpose of
taking the wife of the former emperor
to Amerongen, Holland.
Lieut.. DIR. Gustav Krupp Won Bohlen
is said to have been in control of the
financial arrangements. Field Marshal

fused, saying that he intended to retire

The whole Prussian court. it is said
was in sympathy with the plotters and
it is said that Prince Won Buelow and

chancellor, had promised to help. The
plan was to organize a provisional gov

leader and then urge William Hohen.
