Alien Enemies
Worry Canada

envy worked. There were many Objee-
lions to it, but labor was so scarce
that the alien enemy who could work
was rarely interfered with. And he
made big wages. Now labor is not so
scarce, and the alien enemy's job is
more precarious. 1t is not employers
who are interfering with him, nor is
it government authority.
Pressure comes from the returned
soldiers. When their verbal protests
get no results or produce only formal
assurances, which they know to be
insincere, they have on occasion raid
ed the factory sometimes with surpris-
ing results. Then the alien enemy Is
really out of job.
AS to the vote, the alien enemy lost
his privilege during the war. Now the
fight is as to whether it will be given
back to him. The war times election
act was based on the ground that the
man who was not eligible to fight If
needed wasn't eligible to vote, rough
and ready rule which served purpose
and it deliberately disfranchised all
persons of alien enemy origin whether
they had Canadian citizenship or not.

Immediately follow the close of the
war, but now the government is not
anxious to refranchise a large voting
population which is not likely to sup
port the government that originally dis
franchised it. The parties are lining
up for real old-time party scrap on
the issue. The fight will come in par
lament on the introduction of the
franchise act promised for an early
date.
One proposal is that an educational
test will be framed which will have
the effect of DISTINGUISHING large num-
bers of former Canadian citizens of en-
envy origin.
Even if they get the vote back many
of the alien enemies are going to be out
of job. And they would infinitely
prefer wartime conditions when they
had no vote but had a good job.
Not many German-born are affected.
but there are several hundred thou
sand natives of the former Austrian
empire in Canada. These cause the
problem.

Very Large Portion of the Population
Can Qualify on $4,000 Bond
Make Wealth in Sheep
and Wool.

PagoSa Springs, Colo.-While there
no frontier left in the West, now
and then one may come across some
thing interesting in the way of the
primitive. In the northernmost and
central part of New Mexico, just
across the Colorado line, is the small
town of TERRA Amarillo. There are
about 500 people living there, mostly
of Spanish birth, and among them a
very, very large portion who can
legitimately qualify on q $4,000
bond.
They have made, and are still MAX
ing, a great deal of money in sheep
and wool, and are quite happy without
electric lights, autos or sidewalks
If you are ever fortunate enough to
be invited to visit one of these fam
lilies, no doubt you will go in a kindly,
tolerant spirit and come away pleas
antly amazed.
They are the very heart and soul
of hospitality and welcome a stranger
with a sincere enthusiasm that makes
one ashamed Of the cold-blOoded,
naughty politeness of an American.
They Are Americans.
And that calls to mind the dignified
rejoinder of one of these citizens upon
being questioned as to where his SYM
pathies were in our trouble with Mex
ico-with the Americans or the Mex
leans.
His terse reply, 81 am an Ameri-
can," was sufficient. Considering that
scarcely any of the inhabitants are
educated, according to the average
standard, that was a remarkable re-
ply.
The houses are nearly all built of
sun-dried bricks of mud called adobe,
set down, more than likely, in sea
of mud or dust, according to the sea-

BRICKS ARE SOLD AS WHISKY
So Witness Testifies in Case in Court
Against Negro at Fort
Smith.

Fort Smith, Ark.-Four pints of col
ored water were sold for $21 and Il
paving bricks for $50, according to tes
timony offered in local courts against
w. II. Hicks, white, and Will Jones,
negro, charged with obtaining money
under false pretenses.
Lem Drake, farmer of Arizona,
Okla, told the judge he ordered four
pints of whisky from Hicks. Hicks
delivered four pint bottles, in which
the contents resembled in color the
kind of liquor that was once plentiful
in Arkansas. When Drake sampled
his purchase at home he found that it
consisted of water, colored with brown
sugar. Hicks was held for the grand
jury.
Jone, railway porter, was supposed
to buy a suitcase of whisky at Monet,

testified. Jones delivered Allen bull

Girls Fat Enough,
Is Jury's Verdict

Cardiff.-A situation worthy
of Gilbert & Sullivan's "Trial
by Jury" developed here when
a girls class from the Howells
Girls school, LANDAU, filed past
the jury box in order that judge
and jury might judge as to their
physical condition. The case
was one in which the father OF
a pupil sued the governors OF
the school for damages, alleg-
ing that his daughter was not
properly fed. The inspection OF
a class satisfied the court that
the majority of the girls
seemed to be doing fairly well
on the food supplied, and the
jury decided against the indig-
nant father.

with statistics that prove the infant
mortality in German cities would have
been kept at near normal if the dis
tributiOn of the country's milk supply
had been efficient, since the milk pro-
duction never was below As per cent
of the pre-war figures. Mortality in
hospitals, due to lack of rubber and
cotton, also was cited by the Germans.
To this the allies reply that the i'm
ports of rubber and cotton were much
in excess of hospital requirements, but
the authorities chose to devote these
supplies to military purposes, and for
this choice the allies cannot be held re-
sponsible.
These are the outstanding points in
the counter-proposals made by the
Huns. They object, of course, to in
nummerable other clauses in the
treaty, especially the economic provi-
sions, and offer many substitutions
and notifications. 1t is not likely that
the council of four will require many
days to digest the document and re-
ply to it. Then the Germans will be
required to sign the treaty within a
given time, presumably before June
Is. If, unexpectedly, they refuse to
sign, they will be given u hours no
tice of the termination Of the armistice
and then the blockade will be restored
with all it's former rigidity and the
allied armies of occupation will adj
vance farther into German territory.
No one pretends that the Germans
could offer serious armed resistance to
such a movement. An indication of
the unyielding spirit of the allies was
given last week when American and
British troops were landed at Danzig
and their warships began to gather
there.

The conservative papers denounced
them as too yielding and the radical
press said they did not yield enough.
None had much hope of their sue

many, the Germans intend to sign the

would mean that the allies would be

people, as a whole, say these CORE

that they will pay for the war only
what is forced out Of them. They are

In the United States senate the bat
tie over the league Of nations is pro-
ceeding merrily, and on Wednesday
the Democratic national committee
took a hand. It unanimously adopt
ed resolutions demanding that the
league covenant be ratified by the SEN
ate, which is controlled by the Repub-
hcans, and then it's members indicated
that the rejection of the covenant
would not be unwelcome to them, be-
cause it would force the political is
sue.
Reed of Missouri delivered in the
senate a fierce denunciation Of the
league, in the course of which he said
the covenant meant the domination of
the white races by the black, yellow
and brown races, his appeal being
chiefly to the southern and far west
ern senators. Senator Robinson of Ar
kansas, also a Democrat, replied to
Reed and challenged him to join him
in resigning and seeking reelection
as test of the sentiment of their
states on the league question.
Secretary Daniels, appearing be-
fore the house committee on naval af-
fairs, formally withdrew his recon-
mendation for a second three-year
program of battleship building which,
as he formerly said, was designed to
make the American navy the biggest in
the world. Last winter he told the con.
gressmen that even with league of
nations the United States should have
a navy as large as Great Britain's.
Now he says we must show our conf
dence in the efficacy of the league by
at least postponing any plans for such
a naval increase.

The terms Of peace with Austria,
though not wholly completed, were
handed to the Austrian delegates. All
the territorial questions were included,
but certain economic arrangements
and the matter of reparation were left
for further consideration. 1t was
known, however, that Austria would
be required to pay about 2,5OO,OOO,00O
kroner indemnity, and that the pay
ment of like sum would be apportion-
ed among Hungary, Czecho-Slavakia,
Jugo-Slavia, Roumania, Poland and
Italy. The countries that formerly
formed parts Of the Austro-Hunga-
rian empire have agreed to share in
the payment of indemnity, not as en-
emies of the allies, but in recognition
of their liberation. They also will re-
deem proportionately their share Of
the Austrian paper currency in circu-

is included because Of her acquisition

News from Russia is frequently de-

latest advices from that wretched
country show that Admiral Kolchak
is unremittingly driving the bolshevik
forces inward. Some days ago he was
attacking Orenburg, an important rail-
way junction and a bolshevik strong
hold in southeastern Russia. Dis
patches from Onnsk told of a revolt
against the soviet rule in the Ukraine,

tinued their advance on Petrograd
while declaring they meant to occupy
that city only to relieve it's suffering
inhabitants, and if recent reports from
there are reliable the relief is sadly
needed, for the people are said to be
starving to death by the thousands.
New units of the British volunteer
army arrived at Archangel and the
transports that took them were ex-
pected to bring away the American
troops that have been serving there,
and whose return has been so loudly
demanded. According to Maxim Gorky,
who was interviewed by Frazier Hunt,
the outside world cannot aid Russia;
bOlshevism must run it's course, bring
ing gradual starvation and paralysis of
industries; great revolt will follow,
with reign of terror, and then there
will be constituent assembly in which
the peasants will assert their power
and form q democracy.
