APPROPRIATIONS ELIMIN ATED
 By Associated Press

Washington, February 26.-The Senate tonight in passing the s9,0O0.O00 annual diplomatic and consular service appro- priation bill eliminated appropriations for a number of international commissions. The measure now goes to conference
 Commissions, the appropriations for which were stricken from the bill, in- cluded the international bureau of the permanent court of arbitration; interna- tional institute of agriculture; interna- tional seismological association; interna-
 tional high commission and the commis- sion on public and private international law. Committee amendments cutting the
 appropriation for the Pan-American un-
 ion from $l00.000 to E0.O00 were rejected and the former amount restored
 Debate on the measure was enlivened by efforts of Senator Penrose of Pennsyl-
 vaEia, republican, to prevent ambassa
 dors and ministers from receiving any part of the $7O0,oO0 appropriation provided for the purpose of assisting American diploma tic and consularesofficers abroad to meet increased living cost. Senator
 Moses of New Hampshire criticized pro- visions of the bill raising the diplomatic pest at Lima. Peru, to an embassy, say ing that the reward for a revolution 1 in Peru which had caused bloodshed was an embassy, while because of a revolt | in Costa Rica. which had been bloodless. this country had refused to recognize 1 the existing government

SOVIET OFFICIALS KNOW CAME IS UP
 BUT CAN'T GET OUT
Englishman Just From Rus sia Says B0lshevism Now
 Nothing Less Than Star vation Conspiracy
Bv Associated Pres.

London, February 26--Premier Lenine and War Minister Trotzky and their higher officials of the soviet govern ment know that the game is up, but do not know how to get out of it or what to do.'' is the belief expressed by H. V. Keeling. an English trade unionist, in an interview in the Vest minister Gazette He recently arrived in England from Russia. where he spent five years in close contact with the Russian working people.
 Mir. Keeling, who frankly admits he was at first attracted by bolshevik ideas, says bolshevism in it's present phase is nothing less than 'starva- tion conspiracy"
 He believes when Lenine and Trotzky show the slightest sign of weakening they will be done for. As result he said, they simply go ahead working their machines round and round and grinding out anybody they think is dangerous"
 Ion one side" he continues. "are mill though of how to get food for them selves, tnelr wives ana children Io think of anything beyond the moment and are too exhausted to resist, and on the other a favored few, relatively well fed. and preparei for any viol- ence and cruelty to save themselves from losing their privileges and slip ping into the vortex of famine.
 "'For, whatever may have been the original idea of bolshevism. its secret now is simply that it confers upon some and denies to others the privilege of eating and that all it's other deeds of violence and cruelty are as nothing to the supreme cruelty of withholding food"
 Asked why the Russians do not re- volt and smash the whole thing. Mir Keeling said:
 The Russians have been used tc tyranny and have a sort of. submis- siveness which makes them accept things. but can assure you they ars sick to death of 1t and .nine-tenths oi the people who keep in with the bol. shevikf and have to pretend to. like them. would do anything to get rid oi them if they knew how

Rice. of Spokane, Wash, an army officer said to have invented an air craft gun.
 Representative Johnson, of Washington, author of the resolution, declared the weapon twas first known as the Rice gun, later as the Rice-W Webster gun, and finally as the Webster gun. and then Rice was told by superior officers to go take long furlough."
 A report of the department investiga- tion was made by the inspector general of the army about October l, 1918, hav- ing been ordered previously by the Presi- dent, according to Mir. Johnson's resolu- ton.

 Chairman Dent of the military com mittee asserted Secretary Baker had in- formed him of his willingness to appear before the House committee in execu- tive session to reveal the details of the report and Representative Caldwell of New York, a member of the committee, said he thought Rice was "unbalanced,p . being unable to give one single state ment of fact

SENTENCES FOUND 100 SEVERE ID BE IMPLICATED THROUGH
 PRESIDENTS POWER
Gen. CrOwder Declares All Sentences Imposed During War to Be Reviewed by Gen. Ansell Within
 Sixty Days
By Associated Press

Washington, February 26. Major General Crowder, judge advocate general of the army, appearing before the Senat military committee today at a resumption of hearings on the court-martial situation, said that all imprisonment sentences imposed on men of the army during the war and found upon review to be too severe would
 be mitigated through the Presi- dents power of remission.
 General Crowder said that within 60 days the 5000 sentences imposed since the beginning of hostilties would be re- viewed by special board headed by
 Brig. Gen. Samuel T. Ansell, who was acting judge advocate general during the war and whose testimony as to severity of courtmartial sentences led the com mittee to extend it's investigation. Steps toward mitigating the sentences were begun, General Crowder said. prior to the investigation by the Senate com
 mittee.
 Practically all of the men sentenced to | dishonorable discharge and Imprisonment, ! he said, already have had the dishon- orable discharge provision revoked. He
 added that 1200 men sentenced to long terms at Leavenworth, Kan, 1ad been i honorably restored to duty in the last year.
 Provisions of the pending Chamberlain tblil authorizing review by the judge ad vocate general of courtmartials sentences
 were opposed by General Crowder, who
 said it would give the judge advocate
 general extremely broad powers and au-
 thority to administer the entire system of army discipline. He indicated that the commanding officer in the field was | in better position to review the case. 1 Lieut.. Col. Alfred r.. Clark of the judge advocate generals office, who preceded General .Crowder before the committee, testified that only few of the 15.0oV | or 10000 courtmartials verdicts handed | down during the war were criticised as 1 too severe.
 1 All classes of men were brought into the army through the draft, he said.
 and it was necessary to punish insub- ordination severely.

A few weeks ago there was riot
in the city of Cleveland. O., i'm which
several were killed and scores sent
to the hospital. 1t came as the re-

which tho marchers insisted on
Haunting the red flag.
But it is not the riot itself 20 which
we want to call the attention of the
citizens Of Yazoo City and commu-
nifty. 1t is the fact that out of the
116 men arrested for rioting only
eight were born in the United States.
And of those eight the parents of
seven of them were born in some
foreign land. And there you have a
good average of the disturbers in
this country. They are not Amori-
cans. They are foreigners who have
come here and who have been af-
forded every opportunity enjoyed by
natives.
They are not satisfied with our
institutions and they ought to be
deported. We ought not to natur-
alize foreigner and forever after
pay no attention to what he says
and does. He ought to be on pro-
baton ALWAYS, and the moment he
is shown not to be in sympathy with
the institutions he has sworn to pro-
tect. his naturalization papers should
be taken away from him.
Most of us believe in the consti-
tuition. For that reason we ought
not tolerate the man who seeks to
overthrow it, whether he sails under
the name of Socialist, l. w. W., or
plain Bolshevist.-Yazoo Sentinel.

Concerning Drives. 2"

This delicate matter to write
about. But since there is no drive"
just at present before our people-a
rather unusual situation-we can
speak of drives without seeming to
reflect on any organization or any
worthy enterprise.
Frankly. we believe it is time. to
call halt on so many drives. F"
One of two things must inevitably
take place: Our churches must
grow less and less, or our beneyo-
lent organizations must be demo-
bilized. Take man with an in
come say of ST ,20O-about the av-
erage income in Copiah county.
1t is his duty and should be
his pleasure to give one-tenth
of this amount. or $12O year,
to the Lords work-whether he
gives it through the church or
through some other agency
blessed of God. But that is
about all he can give. So the Ques-
ton comes directly home to every
one of us: Shall We give it through
our churches. as before the war, or
shall we give ii through the organi-
cations which the war gave promi-
nence?
We answer, unhesitatingly, give
it through the churches. Our
churches should expand to meet the
larger demands of humanity; but
they can't expand unless financed.
It seems to us that the right plan to
follow is for every man to do what
he can to see that his church is sup
ported literally, end then what is
over, give as his conscience may di-
rect. He could not find better av-
enues for these gifts than through
the organizations we have had with

us through the war. But we should
bear in mind that hereafter il will
be no reflection either on mans
patriotism or generosity not to re-
spond to all the numerous drives. :"
As for the Courier, we are here
after going TO demobilize our war
activities, and the bushel of propa-
ganda that daily loads our mail will
find its way unread to the waste

What the Courier here says is
we'll said. and its editor is not alone
in the determination to demobilize
war activities. These Drives"
