ONE-ARMED HERO

Major General Paul Marie Caesar
'eraid Pau Is the full name of the
ohe-armed French warrior who played
SO brilliant part during the early
Gays OF the war in Frances defense
asainst the German invaders. He is
SO years old. but Is said to be as active
as many men half his age. As a youth
he fought in the Franco Prussian war.
lie was one of the heroes of the battle
OF Froeschvilliers, where he lost his
tight arm. So great was the gallantry
of the young lieutenant in that battle
that he became popular hero, and he
was permitted to remain in the service
despite the fact that he was minus an
arm.
Handicapped as he was, he rose to
the very top of his profession. Shortly
before he retired on account of age. he
VAS the popular choice for general in
chief of the French army. The post
was offered to him, but he declined
on the ground that his age would soon
neeessitate the REIMBURSEMENT of the
post. He suggested that the appoint
ment be given to General Joffre.
When the war broke out General
Pau was recalled to the service of his
country and he speedily demonstrated
that while he possessed less than the
usual number of arms. his mental
faculties were in no way impaired.
But this Is war of young leaders,
especially on the allied side, and the
physical strain proved too much. even
for sturdy General Pau. For that
reason he was assigned to less ardu-
Gus duties in the rear.

and violated by the circulation of

anu NlOIdteu by the circulation OF
pamphlets falsely charging I'M
worthy motives of congress in de-
claring war and making false
statements as to unlawful acts of a
high public official.
Yes Hall was charged in the
indictment with declaration that
the president was a Wall street
tool, using the United States
forces in war because he was a
British tool and that the United
States army was only fighting for
Wall street millionaires and to
protect Morgan's interests in Eng
land.
The only difference in the cases
of Pierce and Hall that we can see
is that the former was charged
with circulating pamphlets while
the latter was charged with a
declaration by word of mouth.
Yet Pierce was held for violation
of the act while Hall was released
by order of Judge Bourquin and
may continue to repeat his state
ments in Montana without viola
ton Of the federal statutes, as in
terpretcd by Judge Bourqun.
Mr.. Buell. very properly ex-
presses apprehension that unless
such men as Hall are prosecuted,
|our people, in their anger may
take the law into their own hands
and commit acts of violence and
destruction. That too, is an i'm
portant reason for the resolution
calling for Judge Bourquin's
resignation or transfer. Alto
|gether it seems TO us that the ac-
ton of Mr.. Bucll was we'll con-
ceived and important at this time
and should have the approval Of
the legislature.
In this connection we have in
mind the closing paragraph of
the address of John A. Bingham
to the court in the prosecution
Of the assassins Of President Lin
coin. Mr.. Bingham, one of the
greatest lawyers Of his time, then
said: "Whatever else may befall,
| trust in God that in this, as in
every other American court, the
rights of the whole people will be
respected and that the republic,
in its supreme hour of trial will
be true to itself and just to all,
ready to protect the rights of the
humblcst, to redress every wrong,
to avcnge every crime, to vindi-
cate the majesty of law and to
maintain inviolate, the constitu-
ton, whether assailed secretly or
openly, by hosts armed with gold,
or armed with steel"
Once again we find our rcpub-
lie in a supreme hour of trial, as
sailed secretly and openly by
hosts armed with gold and armed
with steel"
Where, in Gods name, are The
people to look for protection from
the enemies within and without,
if not to The laws and courts?

is believed that there will be no
more trouble over this situation,
but that has not been fully set
tied. William Blackman, director
Of labor for the Emergency Fleet
Corporation, gives very clear
forecast in a communication to
Secretary Greenfield of the Mon
tana State Council of Defense
when he says that unless the
ships are built, there will be a
forced shutdown in many thou
sands of industries, for the plain
reason that war supplies will be
useless unless there are ships to
transport them. If we do not gel
it adjusted, 100000 people Or
ganized, and unorganized, will be
thrown out of work. A strike of
any kind at This time is bad bust
ness, very bad for the people who
want to win the war, but bad also
for the strikers because one strike
will tie up all of them. There are
satisfactory signs that loyal
union labor is awakening to this
situation, and that labor difficult
ties will decrease rapidly from
now ON.

Vice President Presidcs at Presidents
Request.
SETTING NEW PRECEDENT

Washington, Dec. 10.-Nice PreSi-
dent Marshal resided over today's
Cabinet meeting, at the request Of
President Wilson, who is en- route to-
Europe and set, according to The
White House staff, new precedent
in the conduct of American executive
affairs. No other Vice President, so
far as records show, ever presided at
Il Cabinet meeting.
In taking his seat, Mr. Marshall
set at rest any theories that he might
be acting as President. He said he
was attending the gatherings inf orm-
ally and impersOnally, not undertake
ing to exercise any official duty or
function"
This summary of his statement was
given out at the White House:
"1n assuming the chair and .prcsid-
ing over What is known as a meeting
Of the Cabinet, l deem it proper to
make a brief statement so tha, my
conduct need not be misunderstood nor
misinterprctcd. | am here and am
acting in obedience to the request pre-
fcrrcd by the President upon the eve
of his departure and also at your re-
quest. But | am here informally and
impersonally and I am not undertake
| ing to exercise any official duty or
function. I shall preside in an I'M
official and informal way over your
meetings out of Difference to your de,
sire and those of the President"
Before going to the White House,
Mr.. Marshall explained that the Presi-
dent before departing for Europe had
asked him to preside at the Cabinet
meetings and had repeated the re-
quest by wireless from the George
| Washington. Mr.. Marshall made it
plain that he had no idea of excrcis-
ing the function Of the President.
No business requiring the attention
of the President developed at the
Cabinet session, it was said, and the
wireless carried no message from it
to the presidential ship George Wash
ington.
The Cabinet meeting today was the
last which Secretary McAdoo will at

Monday by Carter Glass. Mr.. Nc.

MAYO PRAISES NAVY MEN

Washington, Dec. 1O.-In a special
report to Secretary Daniels, made
public today, Admiral Henry II. Mayo,
commander-in-ch of the Atlantic
fleet, said the adaptability and eff
cheney of the men of the navy, in
cluding the marine corps, have been
SO apparent during the war as to fully
warrant the oft-made statement that
they "can do anything, anywhere, and
at any time"
"This large body of men as a
whole" said the report, which dealt
Nth United States naval activities in
Europe, "have SO conducted them
selves as to earn the highly favorable
comment of the citizens in whose
country they found themselves and
whose guests they are in some meas
urc. 1t is believed that it may be said
that mon on duty in Europe, far away
from home ties and influences, will
return to their own country unharmcd
by the temptations and pitfalls which
their relatives and friends may have
feared"
Referring to the cooperation be-
tween the American and British naval
forces, Admiral Mayo said this was
carried to such an extent in many
cases as to amount to practical con-
solidation. However, he added that il
l: pleasing to note chat our owl
naval forces have in evry case pre-
fcrred to preserve their individuality
of organization and administration, as
far as possible, of operations; and that
a healthy and friendly rivalry between
them and their British associates has
resulted in much good to the person.

Charleston
TRACTS FOR THE SOLDIERS

Secretary of the Interior Franklin
x. Lane is in Charleston today on an
official mission. The Secretary ar
rived from Wilmington, N. c., shortly
before midnight and was met at the
union station by Mr.. Robert l.. NIonta-
que and driven to the Montague home.
During Mr.. Lanes stay in this vicn-
Ity, which it is said will only be for
today, he will be a guest at the Mon
taguc home.
Secretary Lane is taking a first
hand view Of big areas of unoccupicd
lands in the South and other parts
OF the nation, he said, in order to
formulate program for the settling
of soldiers and sailors there, He is
guarded in his discussion of the de-
tails of the plan. Il is understood
that the government plans to buy
tracts of land and cut it up into farm
and garden tracts suitable for those
soldiers and sailors who desire it may
make living on it.
Whether the program for the bene-
fit Of the present great wars heroes
along that line will take the same
course as was followed by the gov
crnment in the civil war is not vet
known. In that period the vast areas
of the public domain, owned in fec
simple by the government in the West
were used and could be acquired easi,
~ by a soldier or sailor with an hon
orable discharge.
The Secretary Of the Interior is
known to favor land grant to sol
diers and sailors who deserve it ant
it is probable that he is getting the
information that he is gathering te
lay before Congress when that de-
partment of the government takes VI
