PERSHING GOING HOME.
AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES
Offieo of the Coanma ndeI.iu Chief

This is the week in which General John j. Pcrshing has
promised to return to his old home in Missouri and the well
come that evidently awaits him there will have for him more
of the real Joy of his triumph Than any of the spectacular
demonstrations that have preceded it since his landing in New
York. The honors General Pershing has received and will
receive have been earned. He gets nothing beyond his deserts
when the multitude cheers him, when high officials eloquenty
laud him, when the congress of his country confers on him the
supreme honor of that counryis formal thanks.
1t was Theodore Roosevelt who recognized the ability and
deserts of John J. PershinS when this good soldier was a
captain of cavalry. Roosevelt outraged red tape by promoting
him over eight hundred other officers to the grade of Briga-
der General. Consequently it is to Theodore Roosevelt that
General Persning owes the opportunity which came to him in
the spring of 1917, and it is to Theodore Roosevelt that the
country owes the fact that it had the right man ready to do
the job when the hour struck. There was a selective promo
ton by a president who knew how to select the right man.
Every great power except one in the war was obliged for
political or for military reasons to change its high command.
The one exception was the United States. The one high mill
tary commander who was continued in his post from the day
his countrys armies took the field until victory was achieved
John J. Pershing, and he acquitted himself with credit
to his fellow citizens as a soldier, a diplomat, and as a
citizen.

it is to see the laws obeyed.
1.-THE days of illegal gambling
b~ootlegging and rough and tumble
methods are over in Tonopan.
These things, with other enterprises
which have existed to exploit men,

portion of the unrest which brought

If not for moral reasons, then as a

SYDNEY, Australia, Sept. 10
The largest international assemblage
OF newspaper men ever gathered in
any city in the world is expected at
the Press Congress of the World. to
be held here October Is, 1920. Two
hundred of them are expected to
come from North and South Ameri-

all portions of the British Empire.
Large parties of newspaper men in
India, China and Japan have prom
Used to be present.
In connection with the congress,
routes for world tours are to be
prepared by transportation agents
acting in behalf of the New South
Wales government and it is ex-

PRAGUE, Sept. 15.-The goat is
taking the place of the cow as a
milk provider in Czecho-Slovakia.
The armies which battled in Eastern
Europe stripped this land of its
horses and four terrible years Of
war almost exterminated it's cattle.
Everywhere is felt the lack of fats
even in regions which formerly pro-
duced enormous quantities of dairy
products.
Formerly only the very poor re-
sorted to the goat as a source of
milk but nov these animals are
seer everywhere herded singly and
in flocks by children and old per-
son They r cheap, mature and
reproduce quickly and furnish nu-
tritious milk.
The absence of horses and oXen is
evident everywhere. The harvest is
on as this is being written and the
fields, the men and women are gath
ering grain and dragging wagons.
Although this section was untouched
by actual battle the absence of live
stock in the fields and pastures and
the smokeless stacks of hundreds of
factories show the blighting effect
of the great war.

With 325 ballots cast, the miners
of the Tonopah and Divide district
on Saturday voted six to one to re-
turn to work. The single men are
reported to have voted almost unan-
imously against returning. Govern
or Boyle, in an interview given the
Tonopah Times following the count
ing of the ballots, said: "The refer
endum may be viewed as terminal
ing the strike"
The agreement of the men to re-
turn to work means a cooperative
store and so days in which to settle
the differences between the workers
and operators.
The men who were in sympathy
with the movement started by Gov
ernor Boyle and the federal media
tor ratified the referendum at a
meetings last night, but owing TO
differences between the various
crafts, they were to meet separately
this afternoon and report at a gen.
eral meeting to be held tonight, in
which all crafts will participate.
The meeting at the ball park re-
suited in rejection of the referen-
dunn, but the men were given the
privilege of returning to work as in
dividuals if they desired. 1t is the
general belief that none of them
will resume work.

view to the Times, on the subject
of "wide open" conditions in Tono-
pah:

MEXICO CITY, Sept. I5.-The
vast petroleum deposits in Mexico,
veritable rivers of gold to their
owners, have within the past few
years attracted the attention of the
world; first, because their exhaust
less supplies filled a demand in the
commercial world which was en-
phasized during the war, and sec
ondly, because Of late they have
formed one of the most fruitful
osurces of misunderstanding be-
tween the governments of Mexico
and the United States.
The development of this industry
by foreign capital has reached the
point where dividends are declared
in millions of dollars and produc-
ton runs into millions of barrels.
Legislation designed by the Next
can government to divert. what it
terms its just share of profit into
the national treasury has been met
by charges of confiscation on the
part of the foreign interests whose
opposition has become so vigorous
hat President Carranza recently
stated in an interview that the Pc
troleum companies were deliberately
engendering ill-feeling between the
United States and Mexico.
Exploitation of petroleum in
Mexico for commercial purposes is
confined t. the past IS years, &C

TRIES TO GET
COALFROM 50. RUSSIA

ROME, Sept. 13-The Italian gov
eminent is trying to obtain coal
from southern Russia so as to stave
off the menace of q winter without
a source of heat. Two commercial
commissions have been sent to the
vast basin of the Donetz in southern
Russia where Italian experts esti-
mated there we're untouched coal
lands that would yield 100000
of tons. The experts also say there
are ia, 900, 900 900 tons of coal in
Siberia or in part of European Rus
STA outside of the Donetz basin.
1t is calculated that If the coal
supply of southern Russia were
properly exploited the territory
would furnish all the coal necessary
for the Mediterranean countries.
Coal for Italy is now quoted at
$3.50 at Norfolk, Va, but it costs
$50 a ton to bring it to Genoa. ,.

WOMAN VETERAN OF
COAL MINES DIES

WINGAN, Eng, Sept. 13.-Mrs.
Bridget McHugh, the oldest "pit-
brow" woman in the Pemberton coal
field, has just died here at the age
of 80 years. For more than half a
century she had worked at the
mines.
"Old Bridget as Mrs. McHugl
was always looked upon as an ex-
and hearty, strongly built woman
who could use a shovel in filling
mine cars as well as any man and
way always looked upon as an ex-
pert pit-brow worker, few being her
equal.
The shorter working day was un-N
known to her and summer and win
ter, rain or shine, she was accus-
toned to leave home at 5 o'clock
every morning, and was in her place
at the coal bank before the whistle
sounded. Her day continued until
. or g o'clock at night. Mrs. Nc
Hugh was a grandmother and two
or her sons are employed in the
cotliery where she worked so long.

as will the plan for cooperation in
the clearing up Of many bad situa-
lions in this district which were
not attributable to either side in
the affair, but rather to the tolera-

been here, prevailed before the men

1.-THE state proposes vigorously
prosecuting any person or persons
who violate the statutes which 1t is
presumed to enforce, whether these
be public officers or private citizens.
1t is apparent to me that the results
obtained heretofore by state po-
lice in their attempt at enforce
ment of the prohibition act have
been pitifully inefficient and wholly
different from the reports regularly
received at my office from them. IL

forth have state attention, even

imposed on the state to do police
service in this connection. There

GOAT REPLACING COW SALE Of War GOODS
N czECHO-sLOvAMA ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN GERMANY, Sept. 15.-How to
dispose of war material worth many
millions of marks is a problem con-
fronting German military authori-
ties. Press reports from various
parts of Germany indicate that
great masses of guns and other war
material are rusting on old drill
grounds or are being sold for junk.
Illustrated papers recently pub
lished a photograph of an enormous
stack of shell damaged cannon
which were to be broken up in
Westphalia for the metal. News
papers say that on the old artillery
drill ground It Oldenburg there r
more than 1000 wagons and guns
in various stages OF wreck, await
ing purchasers. Some of the editors
have been demanding that some
thing be done at once to get old
baggage wagons and other former
war vehicles into the hands of the
farmers who are much in need of
wagons.
Article 169 of the peace treaty
states that within two months of
the coming into force of the present
treaty German arms, munitions and
war material, including anti-air-
craft material, existing in Germany
in excess of the quantities allowed,
must be surrendered to the govern
ments of the principal allied and
associated powers, to be destroyed
or rendered useless"
German newspapers say that vast
stocks of wagons, field ranges and
guns and other material are stored
at military posts throughout the
country and that the German Of
ficials are making no effort to dis
pose of them.

HUGE SUMS INVESTED IN MEXICAN OIL

nished to the Associated Press by
the department of commerce and in
.dustry.
Exploration of the oil fields be-
gan about 1900 and has been con-
Quoted since by the Mexican Petrol
cum company of California, the
British firm of Pearson & Son, the
Hausteca Petroleum company, the
East Oil company, the Oil Company
of Tepetate and others.
Vessels now available to convey
Mexican oil have approximately
700, 600 tons capacity and are worth
$50, 900, 900. In addition it Is
stated that the value of pipe lines
is estimated at $4,000, 900 and
storage depots at $6O,000.O 600;
bringing the total of such invest
ment to 100000 The pipe
line system is so miles long and
the steel tanks for the storage of
oil have a capacity of $4,000, 900
barrels.
Commenting upon these figures
the statement a y that 1.-The Next
can oil industry has not yet equalled
the American because of the lack of
means of transportation and Of
storing which are not equal to the
production of the oil lands" 1t is
asserted that the potential produce
ton of the fields is pine-fold
greater than that registered at the
present time.

DISABLED SOLDIERS
SEE BIG TIMEP|EcE

LONDON. Sept. 13.-Fifty dis
abled soldiers, many of whom had
lost a leg in the war and wore an
artificial one in its place, climbed
tbe $50 steps of the house of conn
mons tower the other afternoon to
study the mechanism of Big Ben"
the giant timepiece. The soldiers
ere being trained by the ministry
of labor in watch and clock re-
pairing.
One. spying the clock mechanism,
exclaimed: "Is this the works? 1t
looks more like a blinking printing
machine"
A guide told the party that the
clock was designed by Lord Grim
throp and was placed in the tower
in 1859. 1t has been working SO
years and is still regarded as n of
the best timekeepers in the world.
The minute hand is IA feet long
and weighs 224 pounds. and the
pendulum, which requires two sec
onds to complete each swing, weighs
700 pounds. The bell which sounds
the hours has a diameter of nine
feet and weighs IA tons, the weight
of the striking hammer being 766
pounds.
An electric motor now winds the
clock in 20 minutes. Formerly it
took two men three afternoons a
week to complete the task.
