M'CUMBER RAPS
SENATORIAL DECEIT
Declares Foes Of Treaty Base
Opposition on False
Promises
BLINDED BY PREJUDICE

Washington, Oct. 6.-Denying that
Great Britain and her colonies would
have six votes in the league of nations
to one for the United States. Senator
McCumber, Republican, of North Da =
kota, charged in the Senate today that
senators advocating the amendment by
Senator Johnson, Republican, of Cali
fornia, proposing to limit the voting
power of the British colonies were fan =
ming popular prejudice with an un-
founded appeal.
Senators who in private conversa =
tion never dreamed of attempting to
deceive one another" said Senator Nc
Cumber, ''seem unable to resist the
temptation to take advantage of a pref
udice created by this deception, and.
with studied avoidance of the real and
full truth, give this prejudice another
boost
AS substitute for the johnson
amendment. Senator McCumber urged
his proposed reservation to exclude
British colonies from participating in
the league in disputes involving the
mother country or each other.
Leagues Foes Urge False Promise
almost every argument made on the
floor of the Senate" said Senator Nc
Cumber, "and every one without excep-
tion made to the public by senators op-
posed to any league of nations has given
the impression to the people of the
world that the council or the assembly,
as the case might be, y a sort of court
or tribunal that decides the disputes
between nations.
Il wish the public could just once
full understand, first. that not one case
of dispute out of 100 would ever 20
even if all other efforts provided for the
settlement of disputes should fail, the
only thing submitted to the council or
assembly is the right to investigate and
report the facts to the public"
Senator McCumber said the argu-
ment of Senator Johnson and other
supporters of the johnson amendment
as to Britain's voting power was too
absurd to be true
Real Facts" in the Case
The North Dakota senator said the
real facts" regarding the league.
were:
That neither the council nor as
scmbly is board of arbitration.
That neither of them decides in
ternational disputes at all.
That the only jurisdiction which the
council or assembly have over dispute
between nations is the right to investi-
gate and report what the true facts arc,
and make recommendations.
That dispute with part of u
nation or empire is a dispute with the
whole"
Great Britain cannot and will not
control the vote of Canada" Senator
McCumber said. Il would like TO put
this question straight to the American
people: Has not Canada, a fully gov
erning, independent nation, earned by
her sacrifices in blood and treasure
through four years of this bloody war,
right to seat in the assembly that
would give her voice an effect equal to
Haiti, Hejaz, Honduras, Liberia, Mica e
ragua, Panama, Peru. Salvador or
Venezuela?

YELLOW FEVER WIPED OUT
Gorsas Says Sanitation Has Freed
Ecuador and Whole World

Panama. Oct. 6.-Sanitary measures
which have terminated the outbreak OF
yellow fever at Guayaquil, Ecuador,
have virtually eradicatcd the yellow
fever scourge from the earth, accord =
ing to Major General William G.
Gorgas, formerly surgeon general of the
United States army, who has returned
here after directing the fight against
yellow fever on the west coast.
General GOrgas said Guayaquil was
the last large center where yellow fever
had been epidemic and that the nature
of the disease is such that the few
cases which may occur in small, re-
mote communities will burn out for lack
of persons who are not immune to the
disease.

Down scared the heavy machine
which is equipped underneath with Il
running gear which has rubber pneu-

plane topplcd over into it's nose with
splintercd wings and crumpled fusilage.

AIR SERVICE
WANTS MEN

Sergeant Cramcr, Of the Hammond re-
cruitlng station, has decided 10 let the
United States employment service hunt
the factory jobs for soldiers. while ne
will devote his efforts to persuading the
boys with mechanical ability TO enter
the United States air service. He has
used his influence TO land men in jobs
but has met with some hard luck. a
few days ago a young fellow told him
he was a machinist and the sergeant
succeeded in landing him in nice job.
The following day the foreman found the
man had had probably few days ex-
perience as a machinists helper. He
was discharged and Cramer was the Goat.
The air service wants 10000 men AT
the indianapolis speedway and offers op-
portunities in about forty different
trades Every man can learn the trade
of his choice and at the same time has
an opportunity TO become flyer if l.e
desires Cramer believes the air service
is before long to be the largest and best
paying industry in the country and
young men of mechanical ability should
get into the game while it is young.

DENIES SILLY
LABOR STORY
H. E. Jones Of E. Chicago,
Federal Labor Head, Tells
How U. S. Distorted
His Figures.

Nobody could be more indignant al
the story published by the United States
Employment Bureau -at washint gon
that there are 1000 men out OF work in
East Chicago than Fl. E Jones, the
xaminer-in-c charge for this district and
head OF the employment bureau at East
Chicago
The story is sheer nonsense" said
Mr.. Jones we send out weekly re-
norts from this office TO Washington
and my report this week shows that
there are approximately $500 men not
working in the whole county. This
total embraces Gary. Hammond. Whit
ing Indiana Herbor. East Chicago,
Crown Point. Lowell. Hobart and in fact
the whole county. In East Chicago
there arc probably only as many hum
dred idle men as tho L. 5. reports thou
sands Perhaps few more, maybe a
less number.
we are supposed 10 keep these fig
ures strictly confidential. yet the federal
bureau spills the beans and does what it
does not permit as to do"

TEACHERS PET|T|ONEO
FOR EXTRA WEEK
Member Board of Education
Explains Reason Board
Took Stand it Did.

That the Hammond Board OF Educa-
ton, only after much debate decided
to keep the schools open another week
instead or a month at the earnest re-
quest and petition OF all the teachers
is the statement made b yDr. c. L.
Smith. treasurer of the board today.
Owing to the fact that the months
closing during the winter because of
the flu and sundry other upsets dur
ing the year. the teachers declared
that pupils were behind IN their work
and an additional week would put
them in fair position for the opening
of the new school year If the spring
had been warm and pleasant 50 that
the children were tired of confinement
it would be a different matter" said
DR. Smith, but the weather has been
such that they cannot play out OF
doors and we feel that the dditional
weel:s school work will be highly
beneficial. We feel that the teachers
ought to know what the children need
more than anyone else in the matter
or school work. TIE school year is
3s weeks and with the additional week
the pupils will only have had IS weeks
this year"
