The president sent secret cablegram
to the house committee on nava af-
fairs, asserting that the failure of the
bill creating the greatest navy in the
world would prove fatal to his endeav-
ors at the peace conference. So the
sychophantic and fawning democratic
majority, regardless of previous posi-
tiens taken on this absurd and fright
fully extravagant program, is going to
submissively acquiesce. What is the
president setting out to do? Does
he expect Uncle Sam to take over the
whole burden of policing the world for
Wilson's league Of nations? Or does he
intend to use such proposed man
moth navy as club to brighten the ma
tions at the peace conference to swal-
low without reservation his whole Ia
points? Nobody knows, not even the
democratic party, what our good presi-
dent is up to. Only he and Col. House,
in all the world know what the U. S.
A. is to be committed to at the peace
table. It is even doubtful if the Most
High himself has been let into the
secret Rocks County Record.

of Operators.

Accuse Operators Of Trying 20 Draw
Attention Away From Issue Raised
BY MoAdoo, Charges Them With
Pref'tser'ns. and With Seeking 70
Mislaad Public -. Operators Asked
Lewis to Order Iowa Miners 70 Work

Des Moines. Dec. t.-,Since the strike
order to the union coal miners has
been withdrawn, ]. c. Lewis. president
OF district l3. says there is nothing
further he can do In the matter. Mr..
Lewis made that statement In answer
TO an appeal OF iowa operators to aim
TO Issue work order to miners.
Lewis says in his answer he Ia at a.
loss to know why the operators ad-
dress their COMMUNICATION to him ''un-
less It is another attempt to mlslead the
public as they have been doins for
some time"
why don't you deal fairly with tho
public II you are so sollcitous as you
SEEM" Lewis asked.
Lewis said he had nothing to do
with the order issued by the federal
court and there is nothing further he
can do.
Turning again to the appeal Of tho
operators, Lewis says 1t IS the inten-
ton Of the operators to draw attention
OF the public from the statement OF
William G. McAdoo that the operators
profits had been from Is to 1000 per
cent
Lewis accused the operators Of prof.
itcering, says they announced they
were dealt with unfairly because tho
wage scale was set In the central
competitive field. but when given op-
portuuity to have representatives on
the scale committees they refused.
The answer closes by saying: Now
lot me say that whatever crime the
miners may be charged with. they
can't be accused OF trying TO n1isiea6
the public and therefore would suEr
gcs. that you cease to accuse the MINE
ers of committing crimes against The
public"
No reference TO the OPERATOR staAo4
ment thnt II tho union men did nae
return to the mines by Dec. tho
properties would be thrown open -

Lewis's reply.
