WILSON DENOUNCES
POLICEMEN'S UNIONS
Says Organizing of Forces Should
Not be Countenanced or
Permitted.

Washingtos, September I8.-Pres-
ident Wilson, in a. telegram \ sent
from Dunsmuir, CAL, and received
today by the local city government,
said that organization of the police
forces OF the country for the purpose
of bringing pressure against the pub
lie should not be "countenanced or
permitted"
The telegram was read today be-
fore the Senate Committee consider
ing the resolution of Senator Myers.
Democrat, Montana, to shut off the
pay of all members of the Washing
ton police force as long as they re-
main members of the recently or
gained union.
The Presidents telegram, as read
by Commissioner Brownlow, was as
follows:
81 am quite willing that you should
tell the Senate Committee that my
position in my conversations with
you was exactly the same as have
expressed recently in speeches here
in the West, and, of course, l am de-
sirous as yoH are of dealing with the
police force in the most just and gen.
erous way; but that / think that any
association Of the police force of the
capital city or any other great city
whose object is to bring pressure up
on the public or the community such
as will endanger the public peace or
embarrass the maintenance of order
should in no, case be countenanced or
permitted"
BrownIow told the committee he
believed the Washington police now
believe it ! mistake to affiliate with
the American Federation of Labor
and would be willing to withdraw.

TWO AMERICAN GIRLS ARE DECORATED WITH
 FRENCH WAR CROSS

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY OF OCCUPATION, June 27 Correspond ence of Associated Press) Miss Cora Van Norden of New York city, Sal vation Army welfare worker with the First division, and Miss Gertrude Ely of Bryn MaWr, Penn, in charge of Y. M. c. A. activities with the Eighteenth infantry, were decorated recently with the Croix de Guerre by General An drieu, commander of a French infan- try division, on behalf of the French government The ceremonies took place at Montabaur, near the edge of the bridgehead headquarters of the First division.
 General Andrieu also presented the cross of a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor to Colonel William F. Harrel of the Sixteenth infantry, to Colonel A. Hunt of the Eighteenth infantry, and to Sergeant Michael B. Ellis of he Twenty-eighth infantry.
 After the presentations had been made, following the French custom, General Andrieu kissed the American officers on the cheek, but when the general stepped in front of Miss Ely and Miss Van Norden the officer ap- peared perplexed as to the proper pro- cedure after a decoration had been presented to a woman.
 Major General E. F. McGlachlin, commander of the First division, quickly went to his aid Witnesses of the ceremony say General Nc Glachlin kissed the young women on both cheeks, after the French custom.
 Miss Van Norden and Miss Ely are the first and only women welfare workers with the First division to re- ceive the Croix de Guerre.

HIGH COST OF LIVING EASY TO
 REMEDY

At last we have a proposal that promises to bring down the high cost of living like a thermometer dropping in Texas norther.
 A wooden shoe dealer, who care fully conceals his name, advises men to use wooden shoes and to present their wives with them, at $1.25 pair. They are said to meet all the require ments of shoes and to be much more effective than the parental slipper.
 Merely abandoning $20 shoes of leather for $125 wooden shoes will not end the reign of that cruel ty- rant, H. c. L., but the sabot dealers suggestion points unerringly the way we can if we really are in earnest about freeing ourselves from the yoke of this ruthless despot.
 After we have adopted wooden shoes we can put on celluloid collars. This, however, may be of doubtful use, for celluloid is inflammable and the in surance companies might increase our rates.
 The central thought to be grasped by the economical man is this-We have been living too well. The high cost of living is simply the cost of high living.
 How easily we got rid of that costly machine-the saloon. All that is nec- essary now to reduce living costs is to eschew other 1uxuries.
 Instead of wearing straw hats wear cabbage leaves tied under the chin. If your wife objects hand her the wooden shoe.
 Why wear neckties at all?
 There was a man in Kansas a few years ago named Jerry SimpsOn-a mighty statesman-Who didn't wear socks even in winter. Why not imi- tate our elder statesmen?
 It is all very clear that we can re- duce the high cost of living if we want to.
 We closed our saloons, it is true, but we went right over to the drug drinks, and the government imposed a luxury tax. Of course, ice cream sodas, ginger ale, root beer and all the rest of the seductive beverages are luxuries. Gut them out. Drink water If you can stand it, drink buttermiIk, which does not carry the war tax.
 Everybody uses ice. Cut it out.
 Nearly everybody eats meat. Cut it out.
 Nearly everybody eats something. Cut it out-or most of it. They say that in Russia millions, of people have cut out eating almost altogether
 Don't go to theaters, circuses, movies, baseball games or prize fights If you go to church, don't drop any thing into the collection plate.
 Don't buy books or magazines or newspapers. If you must read, read only weekly newspapers.
 But how shall we beat the coal man? Aye, there's the problem.
 We have offered many cures for the high cost of living. Others will read fly suggest themselves to the intelli- gent reader.
 But there is one sure cure. If you don't want living to cost so much, stop living

ITALIANS ARE RETREATING
Prisoners Taken BY American
Marines Turned Over to
italian Ships
BIZ The Aasoctnted prss..

PARIS, Sept. 26. = American
naval forces have taken a hand
in the swiftly moving events along
the eastern shore of the Adriatic,
according to advices from Copen-
hagen.
United States destroyers ap-
lpearing off the port of Prau when
Italian soldiers attempted to force
their way into the town, brought
the attack to sudden stop, the
Italians retreating hastily, it is
said. One Italian armoured car
with it's crew of one officer and
three privates fell into the hands
of the Jugo-Slavs, defending the
place, but the prisoners were TAX
en- over by American marines and
transferred toan Italian ship. Ser
bian troops arrived at Prau soon
after the marines were put ashore
and the town was turned over to
them by the marines who returned
to their ships, according to the
report.
The town council or Italy, met yes
terday under the presidency of King
Victor Emmanuel and the belief is
expressed that the council had be-
fore 1t reply to President Wilson. to
| the italian proposals Intended to set
tie the problem of the disposition OF
Fiume.
Advices from Rome do not Indicate
the nature of the reply but in italian
I circles 1t Is said the proposals were
rejected by Mr.. Wilson, who also
threatens an economic boycott If Italy
persisted In holding Fiume in defiance
of the allied powers.
American delegates here would not
discuss the report. The d'Annunzio
forces at Fiume are said to have ex-
tended their lines backed by the city
so as to include high grounds neces-
sary for the defense of the city.

Mayor Changes Date to Start
Free Movies for Children

Mayor Frank Dorsey has deferred
the beginning of his free movie show
for the children plan from tomorrow
until Saturday of next week owing to
lack of sufficient time in which to ar

admit the children. 1t is the mayors
idea to hold moving picture shows, in
conjunction with the management OF
the Crescent theatre in Smith street,
every Saturday morning, admission
being by tickets which may be Sc
cured free of charge by the children
of this city.
This move was taken by the mayor
to give many children chance to
see the movies who otherwise would
not be able to do so under the pres
ent conditions of the H. c. of l.. On
Saturday of next week the first OF
these shows will be held.
