Husbands Are Scarce In

PARIS, Nov. 30.-Such a COM

Paris are called, around the large
crimes Day that passersby had
the impression that another strike
was in progress. 1t developed.

ALLIES WILL Defer
INTEREST ON LOANS
Proposal Finds Favor With
Treasury Dept.-Three Years
Extension Plan.

The plan. as reported in press dis
patches from abroad, to defer for
three years payments of interest on
American loans to the allied govern
ments. will be pBt into operation. ac-
cording to information available at
the Treasury Department
Although il is made plain that the
proposal comes from the other gov
eminent. the Treasury officials freely
state that they are in sympathy with
It, and under the law authorizing the
loans, ia is pointed out. the Secre-
tary of the Treasury has full power
to make such an arrangement with
out additional legislation by Congress.
The position is taken that in view of
the state of foreign exchange due to
the financial stringency in Europe, it
would be 10 the interest of the United
States, as well as the foreign govern
ments, to postpone the interest pay
ments. This conclusion is not altered
by the fact that the home obligations
of this country would be made heavier
during the period of suspension of in
terest.
The point is made that postpone
ment of the payments would not mean
that the allied governments would
escape the interest obligations matur-
ing during the deferment period. The
suspended payments would accumu>
late and be distributed over succeed
ing years.
The proposal TO defer the interest
payments was presented to the repre-
sentatives of this country when AS
sistant Secretary Rathbone arrived in
Paris to conduct the negotiations for
the conversion of the present demand

POLITICAL STRAWS
TO BLOW TUESDAY
South Dakota Nominations to
Give Light on Race
For 1920.

PIERRE. S. D., Nov 30.-A huge Pc,
litical straw pile will be scattered to
the winds here Tuesday.
Democrats and Republicans of ma
tional repute are gathering for part
in this ceremony by which the country
| may guess something of the way the
wind blows.
South Dakota's Republicans and
Democrats will meet Tuesday in the
convention to indorse candidates for
| the Presidency, Senate and State. lur-
ther, the conventions must express
! ir eight words uT less their reasons
for indorsing the candidates.. The
| acts of the two parties, therefore, are
expected to show who is who among
favored Presidential candidates. and
perhaps a paramount issue or two for
the 1920 campaign.
The conventions do not have the
final word in nominations. lndepen-
dent candidates may file later and
state their platform.
AS usual in such gatherings, there
was little to show who will be nomi-
rated. All prominently mentioned
| candidates for the Presidency have
their hackers among delegates arriv-
ing early. Among Republicans there
was gossip of General Wood, Governor
Lowden Senators Johnson. Poindexter
and Harding, and others. 1t is ex-
pected General Woods candidacy will
be urged by j. T. King. of Connecticut,
expected to arrive today State
Treasurer Sterling of Illinois will rep
resent Lowden's candidacy
AS in the national campaign. Demo
Gratis maintained silence for the most
part. But there was a great Juggling
of McAdoo's name, Of Attorney Gem
eral Palmer's, together with a great
wonder as to President Wilson's real
attitude regarding third term.
Former Senator J. Hamilton Lewis
of Illinois was expected here tonight.
He was to replace Palmer on the

E-eninis,n at Chicago

The ''emergency" convention of the
Socialist convention at Chicago had under
debate the presence of ten policemen
there to preserve order Some of the
comrades objected. Whereupon Victor
Berger, who is The Socialist delegate
in Congress, but is not working on the
job because Of circumstances over which
he has no control, exclaimed:
"If they had not been here yesterday
morning would not be here now. The
two-fstcd Reed and other two-fsted Left
Wingers would be here"
The Left Wingers, acting on the
Lenine theory that q minority is just
as good as Il not better than a majority,
had taken possession Of the hall, and it
was necessary to call on the myrnidons
Of the hated bourgeoisie to pry them
out. So Reed and his followers were
compelled TO assemble their coven-
ton elsewhere, and the language en-
ployed against the Irregular" gathering
was worthy Of Trotzky in his most
hectic form.
To what degree the Left Wingers,
their leader having had the advantage
of Russian experience, have mastered
political technique is suggested by the
report made to the Irregular" conven-
ton concerning the way the Left
Wingers had manipulated the returns
of a recent Socialist pebiscite. The
frauds perpetrated would have delighted
a Tweed or q Barnum. 1t was the ac-
cepted practice Of the Left Wingers to
return larger majorties from the
branches they controlled than the men,
bership thereof totalled. SO it was nee
essary to throw out the returns as
worthless.
The Left Wingers platform is that
the orthodox Socialists are not nearly
Bolshevk enough. SO they purpose to
end the Socialist party and to subst-
tute communist party by approved
Bolshevik methods. What's q majority
any way? The will to rule furnishes a
valid title to mastery. Only weaklngs
and reactonists care for general rights.
Our people, including Socialists, smile
at these antics but on such principles
Russia is governed.

Spare the Buzzard
II of The Tribune.

10 the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Your issue of Friday contained an
article from The Dallas News" stating that
because of the spread of anthrax in Texas
the State Livestock Commission in special
bulletin, advises that the turkey buzzard be
shot trapped, or extermnated in any way
that will serve to put an end to it,,
This is vicious and unwarranted assault
on a useful member of the vulture family.
for 1t IS The scavenger of the sea coast. the
forest the hills and of the towns and villages
in the sultry climates of the South 1t is
useful to the human family in preventing
the spread of communicable diseases from
the fostering bodies OF dead animals that
have been left unburied and it has never
been proved that its digestion is not capable
of destroying the germs that lie in the putrd
flesh that it devours. Swine, as rule. can
devour the carcass Of anthrax victim
without being attacked by the disease-a few
OF them succumb but the great majority
are not affected. The digestive agents in the
stomach OF the latter are strong enough to
Kill the b .silli and leave the glutton immune.
H"v much stronger is the digestion of a
turkey buzzard. For more thousands &
years than can be packed in a million the
successive generations of these vultures have
fed on putrid flesh teeming often with malig-
nant germs, and yet they have survived; and
being able to devitaze the 5acilli that de-
stroyed the animal they are now incapable
OF spreading the disease. The antitoxins
that are used to immunize men and the
domestic animals and to cure the diseased
victims are composed of the dead baciln that
produced the infection. And since the vulture
can offer no other kind, why should he be
eXterminated?
The conclusion of the bulletin issued bv
the Texas Livestock Commission is that
anthrax can be spread through careless or
injudicious handling of the diseased animal
and the public is warned not to skin the
animals who died of the disease but all
carcasses should be burned or buried in quick
lime to stamp out the disease" This nera-
tives its wanton attack on the vulture and

Light in Darkness

We are always learning something
new. A Washington dispatch to "The
New York Times" the other day con-
tanned this Illuminating statement:
according to information obtained in
high quarters to-day it is not the pur-
pose Of President Wilson to order Ameri-
troops to Armenia without axthoritv
from Congress- The United States has
not been at war with Turkey, and it would
be rather difficult, it is explained, for the
President to find authority for sending
American troops into Turkish territory
or into Armenia without declaration of
war by Congress or without Congress
sional sanction. Unlike the British gov
ernment, which, without sanction of Par
lament, can dispatch troops to foreign.
even neutral, territories, the American gov
ernment must obtain specific legislative
authorization"
American troops were landed at Vera
Cruz without any Legislative authoriza-
ton" In the same manner American
troops were sent to northern Russia and
maintained there for a year, fighting the
bolSneVlk government, against which
Congress never declared war. Other
American forces entered Siberia, where
they cooperated with the Omsk govern
ment and the Czecho- -Slovalls in round
ing up and disarmlng Lenine's Red
Guards.
In view of these precedents, what OBJ
stacle can exist, in the view of those in
high quarters" in Washington, to the
President dispatching American troops
to Armenia? We are not at war with
Turkey, whose sovereignty over Turkish
Armenia has not yet been liquidated. But
our peace delegates at Paris have been
instructed to participate in the negotia-
ton of a treaty Of peace with the Porte.
