provided that the life OF the league

This will be aside from the perma.

NOW, We ASK YOU,
Who IS THIS MAN?

George Washington University has
a "man Of mystery" and has ap-
pealed to The Times to assist in
fixing his identity.
In the assembly hall OF the Arts
and Sciences Department, 2O23 G
street northwest. hang the portraits
of men who have been connected with
the university in a conspicuous way
former presidents, founders, trus-
tees. professors. Denefactors. and
distinguished alumni On all but
one is little inscription, telling
briefly or the persons services to-
the university.
The one tagless portrait is the
mystery OF the university. Who is
the gentleman? Every member Of
the faculty, every student. every
available aIumnus has been appealed
to. but nobody ever saw the man, or
ever heard Of him. And yet the uni
versity has his picture, passed down
from former generations, and knows
that he played some prominent part
in the early history of the institution.
DR.. William Miller Collier, presI-I
dent Of the university, and Elmer
Louis Kayser, secretary, have asked
The Times to appeal to the public in
an endeavor to fix the identity oil
the mysterious gentleman. Informa-
tion should be sent to Mr.. kayser,
2101 street northwest.
II the university ever learns who
the man Of mystery is, nice little
tag will be printed and placed on
his portrait.

WILLRE-ESTABLISH
NATIONAL GUARD

Although failing to vote on the en-
tire measure. the House just before
Rd djournment last night adopted that
provision OF the pending $1,000, 100000
army appropriation bill which calls
for the establishment of the ma
tionaI guard-virtuaIly abolished by a
decision Of the Judge advocate gen
eral Of the army.
Congressman Humphreys OF Missis-
Eippi raised a point Of order against
the provision Of the bill which pro-
vides for an army OF 100000, as not a
proper clause TO be carried. when that
part OF the bill was reached. BY
point of order the Daniels bigger
American navy program was recently
eliminated from the navy appropria-
tion bill, although this provision was
returned to the navy bill later on ac-
tion of the House Rules Committee.
Congressman Dent of Alabama, chair
man Of the House Military Affairs
Committee, requested that Humphreys
reserve his point OF order, and novel
that consideration OF the bill be post
poned until Monday morning. Hum
phreys complied, and the motion to
adjourn was carried.
A sweeping cUt in the recommended
appropriation for the continuance OF
the reserve officers training camps,
was voted. showing plainly the hos
tility entertained by members toward
the bill Another cut, from $4,000
900 to SAIL ,OOO. 900 FOR the mainteH-
Ance OF recruiting stations, was also

SWIFT Co. DEFENDS
STORING OF MEATS

CHICAGO. Feb. 16.-Carrying Of
large stocks in cold storage was de-
Tended vigorously by Swift & Com
pany here last night. Answering
a charge originating in the Chicago
city council that 2.6OO. 900 pounds OF
beef had been found stored away in
one of the Swift Company's ware
houses here. the company said such
stores really reduce high prices In
the long run.
II large quantities OF meats now
held in storage were suddenly re-
leased there would be q slight de-
crease in prices. the statement said.
but there would soon be a notice.

WOULD BOOST FISH PRICES;
ALSO FISHeRMEN'S WAGES

The Deep Sea Fishermeh's Union
has presented a demand to wholesalers
and fishing companies calling for a
minimum price for all FISH sold to the
companies, and an advanced scale Of
wages for men employed on trawIers.
IL was learned here today. The de-
nand, II refused, would affect the
entire Atlantic coast fishing industry
and throw some 5000 men out of en-
ployment.
The demands were referred to the
Department OF Labor from New York
and two coneiliators were sent. They
have reported prospects are bright
for an arnicable adjustment"

LONDON. Feb. 1s.-I am asked:
Does Britain face ! Bolshevist
peril?' answer, yes"
II by Bolshevism you mean organ
ICED revolt to tear down the structure
Of society and build up a tyranny OF
the proletariat. Britain faces a GER
tain danger which will be overcome
unquestionably. But IL you misuse
the term and include in Bolshevism
all the present unrest OF labor and
the radicalism Of certain leaders who
adopt Bolshevist methods to gain ip.
dustrial ends, 1 think the govern
meht cannot help but agree with mo
that there Is a very pressing danger.
and the chief danger factor Is that
unless remedy Is found for the un-
rest 1t Will speedily assume the most
dangerous form OF Russian madness.
While. the Government and all
loyal citizens view Bolshevism as a
danger TO the state, what about the
proflteer who has taken advantage
OF the situation to exploit labor? Is
he not equally an enemy of the
State.7 &c.,
1000 900 without work.
, At this moment there are 1000 900
men out OF employment and labor
profiteers have offered wages con-
siderably lower than the unemploy-
ment pay they are now receiving.
Yet these unemployed are intelli-
gent; they read the report OF the
chairman OF the aypole Dairy Com
pany showing q 225 per cent dividend
to the stockholders; they read about
the IS per cent earnings on the
total subscribed capital Of the Ian
cashire Cotton Mills, where for two
years the operatives have been earn
ing less than ever before.
Are these facts incentives to Boil
shevism?
frankly admit that labor makes
its mistakes. One great mistake is
the belief that this country is flooded
with wealth. A few years ago the
working classes were told it was i'm
possible to concede \ few millions of
old age pensions and other social
reforms. Yet money was poured out
lavishIy during the war.
GeneFaI lIIscOpeeptIOn.
Thus there has arisen q misconcep-
tion that there Is unlimited wealth.
not considering the unlimited debts,
that are pilIng up.
II was by following this error that
the Russians fell into the abyss or
BolsheVlsn. BolsheVism aEitators
here say that normal wages in Rus
sia now are many times greater than
those elsewhere. But they do not dis
close the fact that the spending pow
er Of those wages arc lower than II
has ever been before.

BEREANS CRITICIZE
JAIL And POOR FARM

The Red Cross Class visited the
College visited the county poor
farm and the county jail, the
other day. Their observations
are given in this weeks Citizen,
and are very similar to recon-
mendations that grand juries
have been making for some time.
They said:
The Red ross Class visited the
County Poor Farm and County
Jail one day last week. Condi-c
tions at the Poor Farm were
found not as satisfactory as
might be desired. A number of
the inmates are not receiving
the care that they should. For
instance, boy has the tubercu
losis. During the present high
cost Of living it would seem those
in charge should receive a larger
allowance from the county for
feeding those in their care. Two
pieces of cornbread with water
are scarcely adequate for the
evening meal.
1t was reported that very
limited amount of food is pro-
duced on the farm. 1t would
seem advisable to relocate the
farm on a better Ind more pro-
ductivc piece of land and thereby
make it possible to produce more
of the food used, and thus save
the county some money.
Some form of social and rclig-
ious life ought to be provided for
these unfortunate people and not
leave them to idle away their last
years in solitary revery and mo-
notony.
The conditions at the jail are
too unwholesome to attempt to
describe. 1t ought to be a dis
grace to as wealthy county as
Madison county is, to tolerate
such dilapidated building.

dire PREDICTIONS
FOR WEDNESDAY

l. K.
Here's some more about the pre-
dictions Of what may happen on
Wednesday, Dec. 18th. ny
Prof. Albert F. Bonita, who is said
to be noted sunspot forecaster,
says:-O Owing to a strange grouping
of six mighty planets, such as has
not been seen in score of centuries,
the United States in December will be
swept by the most terrific weather
cataclysm experienced since human
history began, ' i9
It will be caused by the largest
sunspot on record; . sunspot that will
be visible to the naked eye.
The sunspot will appear December
II, 1919, and viii be a vast wound in
tho side of the sun.
1t will be gigantic explosion or
flaming gases, leaping hundreds Of
thousands Of miles out into space
1t will have a crater large enough to
engulf the earth much as vesuvius
might engulf a football.
Such a sunspot will be rich enough
in electromagnetic energy to fling
the atmosphere of our planet into j
disturbance without precedent or
parallel. :
There will be hurricanes, lightning
colossal rains.
There will also be gigantic lava
eruptions, great earthquakes, to say
nothing of floods and fearful cold.
l make this startling prophcoe
with. no desire to be merely sensa
tional or alarming. 1t is merely be-
cause my study Of the planets has w.
vealed certain results with mathc-
NAUTICAL certainly that now say to
you:
"Be warmed in advance. Tremendous
things are going to happen from De
cember 20, 1919, and afterward"
On December II, 1919. no less than
seven planets will pull Jointly on the
sun. These will include the mighesi
planets, those with the most powerful
pull. =
Six Of themlMcrcurv, Mars, Ven
US, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune
will be in conjunction; grouped 20
gether in the greatest league Of
planets" ever known in the annals of
astronomy.
They will be masscd in the narrow
limit of but rs degrees, on the same
side of the sun. S
What will be the outcome! My
knowledge does not permit me to
state, beyond the fact that the
storms. eruptions and earthquakes
will be Tremendous in thcir scope.
