is no questioning the fact that this
is the psychological time for Con-
gress to recognize the justice ,iof
Washirgton's case.
"Our boys of the District will soon
be coming home after having made
extreme sacrifices to insure democ-
racy for the people of other lands.
Surely. they will be in y position to
ask their own government for the
same rights and privileges which
they fought to secure for others"
Ways of increasing Washington's
water supply and the installation of
a high-pressure water system for the
business district as a measure of pro-
lection against fire are also matters
which Mr.. Brown said he thought the
board should work for this year.
The new president said he did not
believe Washington would ever go
back to where it was before the war.

government employees brought here

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

AUSTIN, Texas, oct 24.-In a warn ing issued tonight, B. F. Looney, at torney general of Texas, advised rail- roads operating in the state that the decision of the court of criminal ap- peals, which yesterday held the state wide prohibition law to be unconstitu- uOnal, did not permit them to trans port and deliver liquor inside the state.
 In his warning he declared that the decision of the high court was applic- able only to that section of the statute which prohibits the sale of liquor, and that none of the other sections of the statute were affected by the decision. He warned the carriers that iniunctions issued several months ago under the provisions of the law prohibiting rail- roads from transporting or delivering liquor within the borders of the state, still were in force.
 Another development in the contro- versy which has developed as the re- suit of the decision of the high court. came with a decision of Judge George Calhoun. sitting in the district court here. Judge Calhoun made permanent injunctions which prohibited sale of liquors within ten miles of a military camp, under the section of the state wide law establishing ten-mile dry zones around military camps or shiI building establishments.

EUROPE MAKES
 HISTORY OVER HERE

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 24.-Dele gates to the conference of the mid-Eu- ropean union of small nations, were cautioned toady by Thomas G. Masa- ryk. president of the newly recognized CZecho- Slovak republic, that emphasis should not be placed on military boun- daries" by the oppressed peoples seek ing independent nationalism, because the future Europe is to be a Europe of permanent peace"
 The speaker said that such bounda- ries as were claimed in the past by dynasties and military powers, will not need to be claimed by the nations that may achieve independence as result of the overthrow of the Teutonic en- pires. All the practical suggestions offered at the present conference, he declared. would be laid before the peace congress.
 Discussion as to whether a monarchy or a republic is the better form of gov ernment. occupied one of the sessions today Christos Nassalakaki, the Greek delegate, spoke in behalf of a constitu- tional.monarchy, such as exists in Eng land and Italy. There are democratic monarchies, as there are autocratic re- publics" he declared. Greece has de- posed two kings because they had auto cratic tendencies. You need have no fear that Greece will choose an autoc- racy."
 Hnco Hincovitch advocated nation of Slovak, Creations and Serbs, with out regard to present boundary lines He suggested federation of self gov erning units, rather than a centralized power, with complete recognition as to language and culture. We must have no national nobility" he said, "our autocracy has been slain in the war We have some German nobles en- croaching on our land, but they must go."
 Out of the complex mass of problems considered by the delegates it was generally agreed that in fixing the boundaries of new countries, which the conference would divide along racial l lines, not to accept as basis any methods of German, Austrian or Turk ish origin. To avoid conflicts between newly freed nations, while a plebescite is being taken, the delegates advocated that United States troops occupy the country and American commissioners take the votes. It was also agreed that | the rights of the minority race in eacf country should be protected by inter- national law. The. conference will in sist that each nation shall be insured | access to the sea. Where all the coast is populated by one race, while in tho | interior is another race, with no acces. | to the sea. the coast nation. should

 Your colonel counts upon every man to do his utmost to salute the constitution of the government by a victory" he said. "The Czecho- Slovak nation has it's eyes upon you. Be of stout heart, and-Forward. March"
 Fifteen minutes only of artillery preparation preceded their rush through mud and water to the German lines. Led by Major Nusak, commanding the battalion, in the first line the men left their trenches at 3 o'clock to cross the marshy zone. swept by the fire from nests of machine guns, the emplace- ments of which could only be guessed.
 The line became thinner and thinner as it went on. but the survivors in- spired by the examples of Captains Siblik and Nlasak and Lieutenants Pliva and Zatfca. continued on to the first houses in the village without faltering. An hour later the entire position was in their hands.
 The village had been conquered in a fierce house. to house, hand-to-h hand fight. in the course of which the Ger man gunners who stuck desperately tc their posts. were bayonctcd on theil guns The survivors of the garrison were in small proportion to the deat ! that lay on the ground.

VILLA MEN ENGAGE
 FEDERALS IN FIGHT

FL PASO, Oct. 24.-Fighting between Mexican federal troops and Villa fol- lowers was in progress late last night in the Ojinaga district, on the American border, and a general engagement is expected there tonight or tomorrow, when federal and Villa reinforcements arrive. There were casualties on both sides, but the number has not yet been learned. During the past week twenty Mexican soldiers are known to have been killed in that district and the fed eral barracks destroyed at Conception. opposite San Jose, Texas. A posse of Mexican ranchers from the American side took part in one of these skirmishes and killed five federal soldiers on the Mexican side.
 Sanchez a Villa colonel led the at tack on Conception which occurred Monday. Twelve of the federal garri- son were killed and the barracks dyna- mited. The Villa band was driven into the foothills where they are reported to be awaiting the arrival of Martin Lopez, Villas second in command Lieutenant Colonel Maruez Cruz. the federal commander, is also being re- inforced by General Jose Carlos Mur- guia from JuareZ. Villa is not in the Ojinaga district, but is expected there soon, according to reports from Presi- diO, Texas.
