PALMER AGAIN A TARGET.

Attorney General Palmer while he
was custodian of alien enemy prop
erty made enemies of thousands of
Germantown people in the United
States. No German was too influ-
entail to save his property from gov
eminent control while Mr.. Palmer
was in the custodian's office.
Now it is charged that Mr.. Palmer
was an intermediary" between Ger
man agents and President Wilson,
particularly in regard to the Lusi-
tania case. That case happened be-
fore we entered the war, and if Pal
mer was an emmissary for German
agents, which seems extremely doubt
full, he certainly has done enough to
annoy these same Germans since that
time to free him of any hint of pro-
Germanism.

St. Louis, Mo-, Sept. 3.-Revival of
international trade, the question Of
furnishing foreign credits to facili-
tate exports, the railroad problem
and the labor situation are among

Egyptians Rejoice
at Action by the
American Senate

London, Sept. Enthusiastic de-
monstrations were held at Cairo and
Alexandria on Saturday and Sunday
in consequence Of the receipt of a
telegram declaring that the foreign
relations committee of the United
States senate had declared that
Egypt should be independent, ac-
cording to a Carlo dispatch to the
Daily Mail. It is said that Said Pa
sha Zagloul, head of the Egyptian
National Deputation in Paris, was
the author of the telegram to Cairo.
No action has, been taken by the
foreign relations committee Of the
senate regarding Egypt that would
seem to warrant demonstrations in
that country. The committee recent
ly gave hearing in which the claims
of the Egyptian nationalists were
voiced but no further action has been
taken by the committee.

CarranZa Accused
in Alleged Plot of
German Agents

New York, Sept. 3.-Dr. Paul O.
Altcndorf, former member of the
American military intelligence SER
vice, who issued last week a state
ment detailing what he knew about
the German plot to stir up Mexican
invasion of the United States, is
sued supplementary statement to-
day directly charging President Car
rama of Mexicon with being directly
implicated in the plot.
DR.. Altendorf who served in the
Mexican army as colonel while re-
presenting the intelligence service
said that he had an interview with
Carranza on January Is, 1918. At
this interview, he said Carranza
"said he knew all about me, hav-
ing been informed that | was on the
way to Sonora to help train the
combined army of Mexicans and Ger
mans who were to invade the United
States IS S. Z. -. -s..'ssSs,s-'
DR.. Altendorf said he asked Car
rama for letter to General Gales,
governor Of Sonora hoping to get
Carranza's completely in writing but
that Carranza refused saying he was
going on Every delicate mission"
Carranza did say, however, according
to DR.. Altendorf, II am sending a
wire to General Gales to assist you
in every way to invade the United
States. l have instructed the police
and military authorities to aid you
for this purpose"
. DR.. Altendorf exhibited photo
srauhic comics Of a code which he
said had been prepared by Mario
Mendez, Carranza's secretary, for
use in communicating between DR..
Altendorf at General Gales head
quarters and Kurt Jahnke, alleged
head Of the German spy service in
Mexico City. e

High Prices Become
Serious Problem to
Japanese Families

Toxic, Sept. 3.-Soaring prices for
food and clothing as well as house
rent show no dlminution in Japan.
The cost of living, according to the
Yorodzu, has increased ten-fold since
1887 while wages have advanced only
tour-fold. AS against SO yen koku,
for instance during the rice riots OF
August, last year, the price OF rice
has now risen to Sc yen a koku Give
bushels) and grave food crisis has
resulted.
! Japan is country of large fami-
lies and with rice costing about $28
for every five bushels the head OF
a family has to do some hard think
ing. Other food necessities, especi-
ally sugar, which Japanese use con-
siderably, have risen IN proportion to
rice. 1t is the great middle class OF
Japan, the people working on small
salaries, which is raising the great
est cry.
j Although wealth has increased as
result Of the war the real wealth
of the masses has decreased and the
people Of Japan are relatively poor
At the same time national tastes have
changed and the Spartan simplicity
Of olden times is no longer endured.
Low salaries in public services have
so depleted the personnel that gov
eminent institutionss like the postof-
flee, telegraphs, police force and
schools are all undermined. Indus
trial companies, however, are paying
dividends of from so to 100 per cent.
and distributing big bonuses, lands
and rents are rising in value and the
farmer is boarding his rice until he
has pushed the market to it's highest
notch.
The distress of today is chiefly felt
by the law-abiding class of the ma
ton. No riots have occurred like last
year. The press generally blames
the government for not finding
suitable remedy. 1.-The situation calls
for urgent action" writes the editor
of the Kokumin. "Some people are
about to famish. The continued ad-
vance in prices has developed kind
of reign of terror"
"1f it is impossible" says the
Yorodzu, "to bring down the price of
rice and other necessities, the govern
ment must devise means of increas-
ing incomes. Otherwise peace and
order in society cannot be maintain
ed and the very foundation of the ma
ton will be endangered"

TOO MUCH MURDER.

Two men were sent to the electric
chair by sentence passed Tuesday in
the circuit court of Desha county.
There remain five other murder
cases to be tried. There were on the
docket for this term Of court only
Is criminal cases. Seven murders out
to eight offenses of all other sorts are
much too many for this day and time.
Even though most of these cases. are
negro cases it is cause for alarm.
We have put liquor out of Arkansas
and crime has been greatly reduced.
Sentences like those passed yes
terday, if they stick, should help to
bring down the percentage of homi-
eide. 1t certainly needs to be brought
down.

THE RED FLAG IN THE u. S.

The formation of the communist
labor party of America out of radical
socialists is a thing that the depart
ment of justice and the state officials
everywhere should watch.
This party is made up of men for
whom the socialist party, radical
enough in itself, was too tame They
have adopted the emblem and the
motto of the Russian soviet and their
members cheer mention of the word
"bolshevism."
These men are agitators pure and
simple. They are not the workers of
the United States. Few of them ever
really work. The workers of the
United States are represented by
their unions and through the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
The communists, self-styled, are
more trouble makers than workers.
If they become strong enough in
number they may cause trouble.

To Give Shantung

Japanese Predicts

New York, Sept. Substitution of
the province of Shantung to China by

Japan, and a member of the japanese

he said, "lf our government opened

Chinese government with a view to

In a statement ON the Shantung
question, Mr.. Matsuok said
ITO those Of us who have partici

TRULY HEROIC.

The case of the Chicago man who,
unable to save his wife from an on
rushing train, chose to die with her
is causing great deal of comment
throughout the United States.
The question is being asked
whether this man should have done
as he did or should have chosen to
live for the sake of their three chill
dren, now left without parents.
The chances are that he did not
give this question any long studious
consideration. He worked until the
last minute to extricate his wife and
probably did not give up hope until
the train was almost on them. Then
his action was natural for a truly
courageous man. Certain people have
heroic qualities which are developed
to an unusual degree in moments of
great danger.
When we have time in our favor,
when we can reason with the know
ledge that known result is certain
it is our thoughts that guide us. We
can weigh a question and decide
When time is against us and when
we are uncertain of a result, the
ordered processes of the mind do not
govern us. In these moments it is
No%1 81, 41.A
often with greater heroism.
This mans actions were courage
Gus in the extreme. Had he had half
an hour to decide the question he
might have acted differently, but con-
fronted with the necessity for instan-
taneous action, the stuff that he was
made of governed his course; he
probably did not think at all.

connection with the robbery and re-
ceipt of the stolen goods, appeared
in municipal court for hearing yes
terday morning. Both waived exami-
nation, and were bound over to wait

ceny, and on seven charges of petit
larceny, He waived examination in
