BOURGEOIS GIVES
VIEWS ON ARM|NG
Discusses Proposition for In
4 ternationaI Parliament in
~; League Functioning.
Rr the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, February 21.-In expressing
his opinion on the suggestion made by
Charles J. Doherty, Canadian minister
of justice, regarding the formation of
. an international parliament to assure
the working out of the plans of a
president of the French Association
for the League of Nations, told Excel
sior today that the creation of such a
parliament need not be considered
until later, when the work of the dele
gates, of the members of the league
and the leagues executive council
may be judged by the results attained
It was more urgent to solve the prob
lens of the permanent organization
for verification of armaments and for
the execution of military measures.
Difficulties. he said, already had had
to be surmouuted to reconcile the
principle of sovereignty of states
which are members of the league of
nations with reciprocal obligations
imposed on them; difficulties arising
from the opposition between the con-
stitution of certain states and their
subordination to any form of super
state.
Dictate Choice of Delegates.
~Not that the assembly, of delegates
under an article of the plan will rep
resent nations adhering to the society.

geois, ''aS only nations with a repre-
sentative regime with power to die

accepted as members of the society,""
The democratic character of the
assembly NJ. Bourgeois continued,
is insured by each member having
only one vote, so that every state
represented, the most powerful as
well as the weakest will have equal
influence on the decisions of the as

NJ. Bourgeois then dealt with the
special situation of France, owing to
her frontier being open to sudden ag-
gression.

Mrs. Howard Greena, on Railroad street
in Swanton.
Liberty, who claims he is 35 years old,
told DR.. S. w. Paige who attended him
at the Franklin county jail last night and
this morning, that he was accustomed
to taking three to four grains of NOR

lirious last night. DIR. Paige says a small
amount of opium administered in pills
quieted the man. Liberty was taken after
his arrest to the home of James Brow
where Mrs. Robinson went following the
shooting and the woman identified him
as her assailant, although she said he
had exchanged the cap which he wore in
the morning for a hat. In his pocket was
a piece of broken rope.
The woman claimed the man attempted
and partially succeeded in tying her
hands when she broke the rope. Liberty
says he has wife and three children

AMERICAN WHISKEY
IS FLOODING IRELAND
Causes Alarm in the Irish Distiiling
Trade

Dublin, Nov. 2G By the Associated
Press).-The importation of many thou
sands of gallons ofwhiskey from America,
as result of prohibition in the United
States, has caused alarm in the Irish dis
tilling trade.
War restrictions have greatly hampered
the Irish trade. The distilers We're pre-
vented in the 1867 season from making
the usu;l quantity of whiskey. Next year
they were closed down altogether. and
even in the present year We're only per-
mtted to make a reduced supply. The
prices Of course. went up, and dis
tillery shares advanced in the stock ex-
changes.
The American whisl;ey can easily be
sold at a lower price than the Irish
article. and II is being freely taken up
by the Irish retailers. one provincial
bonder is said to have paid nearly $500 00O
in duty on his consignment. What the
distilers are most afraid of is that the
American spirit may be blended or
'faked-up" and sold 3s Irish or High
land whiskey.
One interesting fact stated in the
Dublin papers is that at present no Ameri-
can whiskey is sold in Dublin as such

MADE
FABULOUS PROFITS

Washington Nov. 26.-Bituminous coal
mines east of the Mississippi river in
1917 made what might be termed
fabulous profits" the general average
being from 100 to $50 per cent. on invested
capital according to a statement issued
tonight by Secretary Glass. based on
data furnished by experts of the internal
revenue bureau.
Coal operators generally in the United
States in the years 1914 and 1915 lost
money when normal depletion and de-
probation are taken into consideration"
the statement said. What is meant by
this is that proper item in fixing costs,
is depreciation of plant and depletion of
the cost or value of the coal in the
ground.
I'm the latter part of 1916 all coal COM
panies in the United States. save those
in the extreme West began making money
with the result that the operations for
the year 1916 generally show a profit of
from 10 to 35 per cent. on capital in
vested"
In 1917 all bitumnous coal mines east
of the Mississippi river made what might
be termed fabulous profits. the general
average being from 100 to $50 per cent. on
invested capital, the range being from
Is to 500 per cent.
I'm 1918 conditions were not so good in
the Appalachian and central competitive
districts, profits generally being reduced
% to 80 per cent. less than for the pro-
ceding year. the range being from 15 to
300 per cent on invested capital. In the
| west 1918 conditions were better than in
1917, the profits in the Rock Mountain
districts ranging as high as 400 per cent.
on invested capital.
Unofficial figures for 1919, incomplete
of course, indicate that profits of the
operators are less than for 1918, some of
the operators claiming to have actually
lost money"
