PLAN DETENTION CAMP FOR ALIENS
 PENDING PROBES
[RepubIican A. p. Leased wlre1

NEW YORK, Nov. Establishment of large camp or cantonment for detention of undesirable aliens pend- ing investigation and disposal of their cases, is the latest plan of the house immigration committee now conduct ing an inquiry at Ellis Island, it was announced tonight
 The camp will be similar to those in use during the war for the intern ment of enemy aliens and would be the temporary abiding place of all agitators collected anywhere in the United States, who by their conduct or utterances made their further so- Journ in this country questionable.
 It is the opinion of the Investigating legislators that such a corral would aid substantially the work of central izing the disturbers and would result in much more rapid expedition of their exit to the lands from whence they came. The task of deportation, it is suggested, will eventually devolve or the department of justice instead oi the department of labor.
 Representative Siegel of New Fork stated tonight that in addition to 6t radicals whose deportation cases have been permitted to lie dormant, there are about so others in which no actior has been. taken by the federal authori. ties for so long that the defendants attorneys are seeking the freedom oi their clients on writs of habeas corpus

 Though officially all of the proceed ings today were in wage scale commit tees of operators and miners for the central fields, all semblance of a sec tional discussion was dropped All dis tricts of the United States were re- ported at the final outcome and the action taken was national in it's bear 1 ings.

 The lower end of the city, which catches the drainage from the main or northern part of the city, was prac- tically a lake of water and mud. The water stood in great ponds in some places, but whenever possible the water coursed south and southwest on it's way to the river.

ANXIETY FELT FUR
 BOUND BOYS

Considerable tension was felt in Mesa last night regarding the where abouts or fate of two boys, members of a hunting party, who when last heard of were marooned on an island in the river about two miles north and half mile west of Mesa.
 The two boys, Truman Paisley and George Ferrine, each about Is, went hunting with four other Mesa boys yesterday The rapidly rising river caught them on an island in it's mid dle late in the afternoon. The other four boys escaped by swimming to the bank. and when last heard of the other two were still on the island.
 Last night searching parties of Mesa men were posted along both sides of the river near Mesa, looking for traces of the missing boys. while much anxiety was felt in the town. At a late hour nothing was known as to whether the two boys had escaped safely to the river banks, whether they were still on the island or whether they had become victims of the flood If the boys are not found by morning it was said, an extensive search will bs organized and conducted.

My; Such c T9me As the Animals
 Had Last Night

The blood sweating behemoth, after a joIting summer spent m wagon and now domiciled in win ter quarters at the state fair eounds, was aroused last night at something unusual he sensed was happening. He poked his hand some countenance outside his pen and a smile spread over it.
 By the great pyramids, he was back on the bank of his sacred Nile.
 The other animals woke up two by two, aroused by the commotion and looking about them wondered if they were still dreaming.
 "Wake up, Jaz-Dah," shivered the blue faced monkey, as he shook his wife. "We're on the Congo" DrowsiIy, the remainder of their companions became aware of the situation and, looking at the flood about them, swore that the scene was Africa, and the time, the rainy season. Such a huhhub as started then.
 My rheumatism!" groaned the sacred COW. "Pooh!" secuted her husband, the sacred OK, You should worry about your rheuma- tism when you know that 1 am slowly dying from cough. Didn't pr. Flight give me two quarts of cough medicine only last week?"
 DO you believe in immersion?" inquired the zebra, with an attempt at humor which was not at all we'll received. "Ouch!" he exclaim- ed with wince as he hit his head against the roof of the barn. "That tooth had pulled last week is bothering me something terrible"
 The lions, tigers and Ieopards, with an intense dislike for water affected by all cats, set up a hor- rible rowling at this .juncture which was siIenced only when the elephants stuck their trunks out into the flood, sucked in about 15 barrels of water apiece and threat ened to spray it over any cat that raised his or her voice above a purr.
 In the silence that ensued, the camels were heard to mutter something about they ."couIdn't see why they were running all this water up to their door" as the, had had a drink two weeks age and wouldn't need any more unti New Years"

ECONOMIC AND MILITARY POST
 WAR PROBLEMS
 ARE DISCUSSED
Lloyd George Gives Views On European Questions Says U. s. Should Carry Big Austrian Loan

LONDON, Nov. 27.-(By the As sociated Press )-Premier Lloyd George again today in the house of commons answered a list of questions on all sub jects mostly however in connection. with the European economic and mili- tary situation arising from the war.
 One of the most important of the questions related to the condition of Austria, concerning which Commander Viscount Curzon, coalition unionist member for Battersea, south, asked whether the supreme council in Paris was taking steps to deal with the situ- ation.
 Places Burden on U. S.
 The premier declared that the su- preme council had reached the con- clusion that only a comprehensive ar engagement for a large international credit would adequately meet the situ- ation and that it was essential for the success of such proposal that the United States should contribute that part of the expenditure which would have to be incurred in dollars. Urgent representations have ac- cordingly been made to the United States government in that sense," the premier said.
 | Questioned regarding whose duty it would be to summon the first meeting | of the assembly and the first meeting of the council of the league of nations,
 in view of the fact of the American senate's refusal to ratify the treaty.
 MT. Lloyd George said that article five of the treaty stipulated that the
 president of the United States should
 summon the meeting. He added that
 he did not understand this was in any
 way affected by the refusal of the senate to ratify the treaty.
 Another inquiry made by James M. Hogge, advanced radical and Scottish
 home rule member for Edinburgh, was
 whether MT. Lloyd George gave any undertaking to President Wilson dur ing the peace conference that Mir Lloyd George would endeavor to settle
 direct negative reply.
 Senate Action Only Indirect !. Answering still another question the premier said that the effect of the
 American senate's action with regard
 to the treaty provisions for plebiscite } and other commissions in Germany , would be only indirect. It would be . necessary for the other powers to find . larger quota of representatives fol these commissions.
 The premier said that the Anglo. r American treaty, providing foi ? the defense of France in case of wan
 ton attack, was contingent of ratifica l ton by the United States senate, bu 2 that American refusal to ratify tn, 7 treaty would not necessarily affect tn, : tri-partite treaty, provided the United l States ratified the tri-partite par l separately.

WASTING WEALTH

The United States National Museum has pre-
pared series of exhibits to aid in the conserva-
ton of natural wealth-coal, fertilizers, petro-
leum, water power and gas.
Gas, for example, which pours from the earth
in vast quantities in the oil regions, is being eX-
hausted by wastefulness. Every year an increas-
ing number of towns are compelled to augment
their natural gas supply with artificial gas, which
eats into the precious reserves Of COAL
The exhibit demonstrates how fortunes are dis
sipated through the misuse of gas. Wells drilled
for oil are abandoned while enough gas pours out
to light cities and run great manufactures. Un-
less the gas can be immediately utilized CONNER
cially, no one cares what becomes of it.
Wastefulness depletes our forests; great
sources of power in our rivers await the exploita-
tion of private capital; profit, not public need, die
tates the operation of our mines.
What the government is attempting through
the National Museum is commendable, but instead
of PLEADING for conservation, the government
should be ENFORCING conservation.
Control of what nature has bestowed should
rest with the people of the United States, not
with selfish interests whose sole concern is the
piing up of dividends.

NO SECRETS!

Secret diplomacy has not been entirely abol-
ished in international relations even if we did win
the war.
But secret diplomacy MUST and SHALL be
abolished in domestic relationship relations be-
tween capital and labor between man and his
employer, between the whole people and the spe-
cial interests that serve them.
When the Round Table conference between
capital and labor and the public convenes at the
White House Oct 5 let this be UNDERSTOOD
There must be FULL AND COMPLETE PUB
LICITY.
The public, through the newspapers and ma
tional organizations, must be admitted to all ses-
sions of the conference. Nothing must be settled
behind closed DOORS All debates must be public
property There must be no executive session.
This newspaper had much to do with bringing
about the conference. The plan was first pre-
sented through our columns. For months we
urged it as prelude to the peaceful solution OF
our industrial difficulties.
This solution must not be impeded and SHALL
NOT BE impeded by official censorship over the
deliberations of the conferees.
NO SECRET DIPLOMACY!

"THE KIDNAPERS' SPECIAL"

Bisbee would have been without its
mayor and all city officials.
It's police department would have
ceased to exist.
The mines would have been without
shift bosses, foremen, managers or
superintendents.
Stores and banks would have been
compelled to close, as practically all
employees would have been in Doug
las
And so conferences were held be-
tween attorneys for the state and for
the defense.
1t was decided that only afternoon
sessions of the court would be held.
This would give the defendants a
chance to attend to their daily affairs
in the morning. ia a3
And in order to keep the lost time
to minimum, daily special train
was chartered
Thus the "Kidnappers' Special
came into existence.
It consists Of two coaches and an
express car which has been turned
into a temporary kitchen.
Each man on boarding the train,
finds in his seat a lunch of sandwiches
and fruit.
From the express car kitchen comes
the negro walters with hot coffee and
cold milk.
And while the train winds its way
through the copper hills toward Doug

ton Special No. 2-On time"
Despite railroad strikes, tourist
travel, and all other troubles to which
railroad schedules are heir, this sign
has been hung up every afternoon in
the local depot.
For the train, better known through
out Southern Arizona as the "Kid-
nappers' Special" has daily arrived
on time to the minute.
The "Kidnappers Special is pro-
badly the most unique train of its kind
in the history of the southwest.
Daily it brings to Douglas 174 pas
sengers charged with kidnapping as
a result Of their alleged part in the de-
portations to Columbus, n. NJ, that
followed the l. ". W. efforts to induce
the copper miners OF the Warren dis
trict to strike In June, 1917.

were set for trial, it was found, upon
examination of the lists of the defend
ants, that practically every city and
county official, police officer, banker,
lawyer, merchant and mining men of
the Warren district, watch comprises
the towns of Eisbee, Warren and
Lowell, was named thereon.
The defendants lived more than 35
miles from Douglas. the seat of the
hearings.
To attend the daily sessions of the
court it would have been necessary
for the men to remain in Douglas,
which meant that all business activi-
ties in the Warren district would have
been suspended. aH5

| SHE DECLARES
Mrs. Petit Had No Idea Any Medicine
Could Help Her A. TanIae

"Tanlac Is the best medicine I have
ever seen, and have tried many diff
ferent kinds since my health failed
thirty years ago." said Mrs Mary Pet
tit who lives at Oil Ave. B, Galesburg,
!, III, IA.
II can truthfully say" she contin-
ued, "that during all those years was
not able to sit down and eat hearty
meal without suffering afterwards.
What I ate would sour on my stomach,
and cause gas to form SO bad that I
would be in perfect misery for hours
at time Sometimes this gas was so
bad that it would almost cut my breath
off. In addition to this, I had rheum-
otism in my arms and legs, and some
times the pains were so severe that
Just thought 1 couldn't stand 1t an
other minute. I was badly constipated
all the time, too, and had to take
laxative every day. OF course, was
under treatment, and was taking medi-
cines all the time, but instead Of get
ting better, l just gradually grew
worse. ~t .
"One day my daughter brought In
bottle of Tanlac, and told me that
she had read and heard so much about
it that she just felt like it would help
me. I had no idea that Tanlac would
do me any good, in. fact, l was 50
discouraged over my condition that l
didn't believe there was a medicine on
earth that would ever overcome my
troubles Any way, I commenced tax
ing Tanlac. and to my great rsurprice,
I commenced to feel better In very
short time. Why, before ! had flll-
ished that first bottle, would actual
" be hungry when l woke up in the
morning, and would eat hearty
breakfast. 1 just kept on taking IAN

years. My appetite is fine, and l eat
lnree big meals every day and never
suffer particle afterwards. The
rheumatism is gone, too, and I never
have an ache or pain of any kind now.

seriously affected by, a crouch what must happen
to the delicate and hidden seats Of our being?
Probably some day it will be discovered that
ill temper, worry, envy, malice, hatred give definite
physical reactions.
We do know that the hopeful, cheerful invalid
does more for himself than the doctors can.
We do know that persistent belief in the sick
ness of any part of the body will produce sickness
there, without other cause.
If whisker gets mad, and if there is real truth
in the idea of the hair bristling through fear or
rage, certainly we should know about it.
Certainly it would help lot in the present sus-
picous era if all of US could feel that our i'll temper
definitely Injuries our health shortens our life and
heaps misfortune upon us.
If, for our own personal, selfish benefit, we
kicked out spleen and all grouchiness and really
loved one another it would be a much more pleas
ant world.
Most of the present fight and costly fussing
between capital and labor appears to be based on
persistent crouch, on mutual envy and suspicion.
If labor believed that capital was not entirely
selfish and if capital felt that labor was only try
ing to get what it believed it was earning, all the
rest of the argument would be soon settled.
While half of US hate the other half any
peace pacts will be mere bits of papers.
