.IMPERATOR BRINGS
BRAZIL PRESIDENT
French Clusier which

WASHINGTON, June is!A wire

early today announced that the
French crusier Jean Dare. had been
disabled at sea and that the trans
port lmperator had taken Off the

ty who were en- route to the United
States from Lisbon. The message
was sent by Admiral Benson who x

other than the Jean D. Arc engines
became disabled yesterday about 9: 90
o'clock and that three hours lates
the 1mperator came up and took or
the Brazilians. The position Of the
vessel at the time of the transfer was
not given. The Imperator which Is
bringing home troops from France Is
expected to reach New York tomor-
row morning.
The fact that the Imperator did
not stand by the disabled crusier and
that no mention was made OF assis-
tance being requested is taken here
to indicate the French warship Is in
no serious danger. It is believed she
will make her own repairs and that
the transfer Of the passengers to the
American transport was simply to
avoid delay.
Later dispatches to the department
said the army transport Mongolia was
towing the Jean Dare to the Azores
and that good progress was being
made.
At last report the Mongolia was
making good speed with her tow. Aft
or boarding the Imperator DR.. Pessoa,

gine Of the French cruiser IN which I
was travelling to New York, she was

for this generous example of American
hospitality which, not content with
confining itself within the bounds OF
its great territory now extends isself

CANADIAN SOLDIERS
RIOT IN LONDON
Great Unrest Developing
Because Soldiers Are
Held in England.
(By Associated Press J

LONDON, June 18.-Unrest among
Canadian soldiers in England because
of continued postponement of home
ward sailing eliminated last night in
an attack by 400 Canadians on the
EPSON police station.
Several policemen were wounded,
one seriously. The purpose of the at
tack was to release q Canadian soldier
who had been arrested.
There is much sympathy here for
the Canadians who have repeatedly
been given dates for homeward sail
ing only to be told that further post
ponement was necessary owing to
strikes of dock workers at Liverpool
and other ports or to lack of trans
ports.
The unrest has not been confined to
the Canadians. There also have been
protests by Australians and New Zea-
landers. Some Scottish units COM
posed of veterans recently held DEM
onstration against being sent back to
France while men who had not seen
active service remained in England or
are demobilized.

Mr.. Pierson, 1--WE must have them In

the lilac, the pansy, the aster, the

FEEDING BOLSHEVISTS

Who and what is the cooperative pur-
chasing society of Russia? Secretary
Baker recently told the committee on mil
itary affairs that he had authorized the
sale of $25,000,000 worth of foodstuffs to
the cooperative purchasing society of
Russia in exchange for raw materials
needed by the United States. Who is go
ing to produce the raw materials? Does
not this look like round about way of
feeding the bolshevists with American
food? There doesn't apepar to be the
slightest hope of any sort of Russian pro
duction for years to come. If man pro
duced anything the bolshevists would
sand-bag him for it. At present the state
controls all food supplies and doles out
food to its bolshevik tatterdemailions as it
sees fit. What's Baker doing? Trying
to help along the Red case?

EAST CLEVELAND PROSPERS WITH
A CITY MANAGER

East Cleveland is a suberb of Cleveland,
Ohio, with an estimated population of
25,O00. 1t has had the Commission-Man-
ager plan for year. The City Manager,
G. M. Osborn, presents report showing
an increased cost of only 2 per cent, in
spite of an IL per cent increase in salar-
les and 10 to % per cent increase in cost
of labor ad materials. The city has lived
within its income. The economics effect
ed do not include spectacular sums saved
in any account, but were made up largely
by watching little items of expense and
income. The city gets 1-3 per cent in
terest on its daily cash balances in the
bank. 1t picked up $4,000 by methodical
revision of special assessment methods;
established systematic collection of rub
bish and garbage, collected water rent
from all formed free users, consolidated
several offices improved accounting
methods, established municipal war mar
kets, where more than 1000 loads of pro-
duce were sold to housewives, put the po-
lice department on an eight hour day,
and the fire department on basis of one
day off in three and brought a spirit of
harmony and cooperation into the corps
of municipal employees.

Loss OF APPETITE
Bank Commissioner.

AS a general rule there is nothing
serious about loss OF appetite, and
III you skip a meal or only eat two
meals day for few days you will
soon have a relish for your meals
when meal time comes. Bear in mind
'that at least five hours should al
ways elapse bewteen meals SO ais to
give the food ample time TO dighes,
ana the stomach a period of rest
oeiore second meal is taken. Then
~ you eat no more than you crave
and take reasonable amount of
outdoor exercise every day you will
not need to worry about your appe-
tote. When the loss of appetite is
caused by constipation as is often
the case that should be corrected at
once. A dose Of chamberlain's Tab.

TAXES AND TAXES, MORE TAXES

In these days there are only two arith-
metical principals applied to taxes-addi-
ton and multiplication. The tax persons
have forgotten how to apply subtraction
or division to the tax problem. State,
county and municipal taxes keep going
up. Federal taxes on incomes get anoth.
err whack at the family budget and then
along comes taxes on luxuries and wear
ing apparel, theatre tickets and ice cream
cones. The soft drink parlors pick their
customers for more pennies and the size
of the piece of pie goes right ON decreas-
ing. There seems no end and no way to
beat this new game
Yet there is a way, perfectly simple
and logical way Curb the politician.
Compel him to quit creating new office
holding activities.
Twenty five years ago government was
comparatively simple; and candor COM
pels us to say that it was better govern
ment, when there was not so much of it,
than the government we are getting now.
But the politicians told the people they
must be emancipated. They consented,
and now they are paying for their emar-
cipation. We do not know one thing we
are getting that we would not have been
better off without; but we do know that
we are paying lot more for needless Of
flee holders, and that despite the increase
in wealth and population taxes per capita
are multiplied with every prospect that
they will multiply some more, and this in
crease is in addition to the extraordinary
federal and war taxes.
Bureaus, commissions, boards and SUI
pervision and regulation cost money.
They serve very little except to increase
the class that live at the expense of the
rest of us. If we must have them we must
pay for them. But what good are they?
What do we, the people, who pay for it
oil get out of it?-Mount Vernon, Wash,

WHY WE FOUGHT

1t is hardly possible any longer for any
thoughtful man in America to seek to
mislead the ntion through ignorance or
through misunderstanding of conditions
to talk about our being in the war from
any spirit of altruism, unles altruism
consists in trying to save our family from
the burglar and the outrager who is
breaking into the house. 1T that it altru-
ISM then we went to war from altruism,
but not otherwise. Let us be honest be-
fore God and face the fact that we very
nearly lost our soul from lack of vision
and lack of natural altruism, and realize
that we fught to. save our own women
and children from MADE in Germany
