THAT ISN'T TRUE,'
HOWE INTERRUPTS
Former immigration Commits
sioner at Ellis Island Denies
Successors Accusation
is REBUKED BY PRoBER

New York, Nov. 2S.-The testimony
of Byron II. Uhl, acting immigration
commissioner, before the House COM
mittee on immigration investigating
conditions at Ellis Island was inter-
rupted today by Frederic G. Howe,
former commissioner, who accused Mr..
Uhl of not telling the truth.
The interruption came after Uhl had
identified an order dated April "a stop
ping the circulation Of anarchistic lit
erature at the island. The order was
signed with Mr.. Howes name, but
Mr.. Uhl testified that he dictated the
letter and that notation in the corner
showed that it was not received by the
immigration inspectors until June 4.
Do You mean TO say" interrupted
Mr.. Howe, that ] held up this
letter."
''The chief of the division concerned
did not receive 1t until the time indi
Gated" replied Mr.. Uhl.
Howe Interrupts and Is Rebuked
Howe then asked whether Mr.. Uhl
ever remembered his holding UP letters
more than twenty four hours, where
upon Mr.. Uhl answered, "You held up
that one, commissioner.
That isn't the truth" declared
Howe.
The colloquy was ended by Repre-
sentative Raker, of California, who in
formed Mr. Howe that he would not be
permitted ''to do that sort of thing
before the committee"
Replying to u question Of Represen- :
tative Raker, Mr.. Uhl declared that it
was the opinion of all the employees at
the island that the conduct of Mr..
Howes administration was i'm
proper"
John j. Mckee, chief deporting oti =
Ger, had protested in writing, he testi-
fed, against the circulation of anarch
istic literature on the island. Mr..
Uhl asserted that radicals held at the
island were accorded privileges beyond
the regular practice.
Investigating Release Of Reds
The committee then began an inves-
tigation of the cases of twelve radicals
who were brought here from Seattle
last February dnd released in March
without bond.
The. hunger strike which was con
tinucd today has split the Ellis Island
Soviet" into two factions-the left
wing, which spurps food, and the right
wing, which devours it at every oppor
tunity. The left wing has refused ter
meals since last Tuesday. Even the
savory odors of a real Thanksgiving
turkey dinner yesterday failed to sway
! the hunger strikers.

hold the hunt was the final blow to the
proceedings.
Bugle Blast Unusual
The blast of the bugle was biaSphe
nous in comparison TO the notes which
usually pour forth from this iuspira
tionul instrument.
No musical critic could justly review
the melody. 1t was asthmatic and ag
gravating. not 10 mention depressing
and doleful.
Many of the nesitatiug hunters be
lieved. in fact. that the bugle blast
killed what was left of the hunt. 1t
was dirge Of the dirgiest kind,
IT was little wonder that the five
hupeful hounds all attuned Sor the dash
lost hope when they heard il.
They meandered out of the stable,
yawncd and then directed Il barking
ootpourri toward the man with the
asthmatic bugle Even German sol
dier could not have been inspired by
such an aggravating aria.
The attitude of the hounds was quick

steods which lolled around wondering
what it was all about. None of these
euuines. incidentally, would have been
showered with blue ribbons at horse
show. 1t was evident tnaL they were
worried about the high cost of living.
Their intentions seemed honorable, but
they We're disconsolate.
Horses Had Good Points"
The good points of the horses were
very discernible. In fact they were
highly prominent. One horse was
adorned with hirsute effects which made
it appear as though he were wearing
pulse warmers and the remainder of the
quintet looked longingly at several
wisps of hay which here and there clut-
tered the ground.
1t was a thaukless THANKSGIVING for
the sallow steeds and they neighed an
emphatic negative when some of the
miscellaneous clad riders tried to arouse
their equine enthusiasm.
One Of the hunters, possessed with
much initiative, discovered a fox S skin.
He suggested that this be tied to an au =
tomobile and predicted that when the
hounds got sniff Of it they would 90
after il like a streak Of lightning. The
| fact that the skin was foxless, he said,
would not hurt the sport in the least.

( the sport in chasing Il skin.
/ Strange 10 say, no fox was in evil
dence yesterday despite all prepara
! tions. 1t is rumOred however, that
the club has one in captivity somewhere

there never seemed any lack, but Eng
land, during the short time he was
there, impressed him as being on very
short rations.
.Stoudt said the German prisoners
were very we'll satisfied. Our govern
ment sent out airplane propaganda
advertising that Germans surrender
ing would get a fair deal and square
meal, and many of them were glad to
surrender and did so when they got a
chance: The army thinks Pershing
d man Of great ability, but he es-
pecially admires Major General Bull
! lard, whom he places in the front
rank among American commanders.
Some Of the camps, such as that at
Brest, were not in the shape they
ought to have been. This was due
to inefficiency in the commanders of
those particular camps. The short
comings were not always discovered
by the higher officials, because they
remedied before inspection, and the
higher officials had too much to do to
maintain an ideal system of inspec-
ton. When the shortcomings were
discovered, those responsible for them
were given short shrift.
The morale of the American army
was splendid, and it was this spirit, as
much as anything else. that won the
war. The attitude Of men who have
been in the war can never be the
same as it was before they went. They
have learned that life is earnest, that
sacrifice and service is more import
ant and worth while than money max
ing and enjoyment, and they are COM
ing back resolved to make better
America. The war has not advanced
the interests Of the churches or caus-
ed a religious revival in the narrow
sense, but it has created a more spir-
itual attitude and made better cit-
Zens.
The canteens in this country for re-
turning soldiers are doing wonderful
work. Everywhere the train stop
ped, from New York to Minot, there
were welcoming workers, with a
pleasant smile and free lunch for the
boys. The lunch was good, but it
was the welcome and appreciation
that went straight to the heart.
Stoudt says the returning soldiers
20 HOt WANT pensions OF cndFltv, Dul
they do want jobs. During the per-
iod of hasty reconstruction it is some
times going to be difficult to provide
these promptly, but it is very import
ant to do so. OF course, some SOL
diers will be- unreasonable and want
better jobs than they are entitled to.
What the great mass of the men want
is to get steady work, marry and set
tie down. AS whole they are very
favorably disposed towards farming,
and the governments project of pro-
viding them with the means to get
farms stocked with cattle and machin-
cry is one of the best solutions Of
the problem. u
Karl was one of the finest specis
mems of our Minot boys, respected
and liked by everyone, and we thought
he was pretty near the salt Of the
earth when he went away. After we
had had long talk with him we could
not help seeing that he was bigger,
broader man than he was two years
ago, something that we wouldn't have
thought could have happened. It just
goes to show what this war has done.
Mnot is glad and proud to welcome
him back.

new YORK SUCCESS
COMING HERE Monday
Turn to the Right" Company Comes
to MinOt After Making Great
Success in the East.

The City schools are to be compli-
mented for their success in arranging
for our city to be included in the
tour of the New York company in
"Turn to the Right" The Company
has been playing only the largest cit
les and we will have the opportunity
of seeing comedy which has been
the biggest New York success in
years.
Several of our citizens who saw the
company in the east are very enthus-
iastic and feel that we have some
thing especially good to look forward
to.
There are two especially elaborate
scenes, one showing a peach orchard
in blossom and later the same orchard
in full bloom, which. by utilizing ac-
tual peach trees, though of course
both artificial fruit and blossoms are
attached, gives realism and beauty
that made even New York sit up and
take notice. @
The electrical effects are used to
give surprise that is also unique.
In fact for the last three minutes of
the play not word is spoken, but the
audience with fascination watch an
automobile work it's way up over a
hill in the far distance to little cot
tage. 1t would spoil the pleasure of
those who have not seen the play to
go further into details in regard to
this concluding scene. A special car
is required to carry the scenic equip
ment and electrical effects and the
production given here will be ideytical
with that used in New York.
Mail orders will be received for
seats considerably in advance and out
of town orders thus sent in will re-
ceive the same attention as city appli-
cations. The date of the engagement
is Monday. April 28th. and will be
staged at the High School Auditori-
UNI. Send all orders for reserved
seats to the Association of Commerce,
