SENSE PLOT TO
bELITTLE SHOES
MADE IN u S.
Dutch Dealers Display in
Shop Windows Inferior, Foot
gear, Which They Say
Came From America.

The Hague, Holland, Nov. 20.-A
controversy Of possible far-reaching
effect on American trade relations in
Holland is in progress in the Am
sterdam and Rotterdam municipal
councils regarding the quality of
American shoes of which thousands
of pairs have been imported by the
municipalities in an effort to break
the high prices of the Dutch manu-
facturers.
The possibility of an extraordi-
nary after-the-war trade plot was
limited at at meeting of the Rot
tefdam council. Alderman De Mi
randa said that shoes which Dutch
dealers had dissected and derisively
displayed in their windows to show
their poor quality were not Amer
ican but German, "ersatz leather"
having been substituted by the deal
ers to convince the public that
American shoes were of poor quail
ity and made of paper"
The workmen's organizations
which have been permitted to buy
American shoes collectively in an
effort to reduce the cost of living
reported them to be of excellent
quality. The prices of imported
shoes have been fixed by the NUM-
eipalities at an average Of HIP
1orns, approximately 40 per cent be-
low the previously prevailing prices
OF the same quality of Dutch shoes.

THIN PERSONS LIVE
LONGER THAN FAT ONES.

Chicago, Nov. 20.-ln all address
delivered here today before the
American institute of actuaries. H.
w. Butholpi,, Indianapolis. who has
devoted years to the study of the
statistics OF life insurance COM
panies, made these observations:
That thin persons live longer than
fat persons.
That being underweight is not
nearly as just cause for alarm as
being overweight.
That the moderate use of aico-
holic beverages is not likely to les
sen a persons life span.
That the high nervous strain un-
der which Americans live has not
increased this country's death rate,
compared with that of Great Brit
ain.
That farmers live longer than per-
SONS who reside in cities.
That the middlewest is the most
healthful locality Of the United
States in which to live.
That the extreme south is the
most unhealthful section Of the
United States in which to live.
That negroes have much heavier
mortality than either the whites or
the American Indian.
That one-tenth Of all insured per-
sons deaths are due to accident
suicide or murder.
He said that the government war
risk plan adopted for the soldiers
during the war had increased the
business of private life insurance
companies, who are at present en-
joying the most profitable year in
the history of the business in this
country.

MEXICO WARNED BY AMERICA
"BILL" CARLISLE
SENDS MESSAGE
ABOUT ROBBERY
Thanks Railroad for Money
Received From Passengers;
Still at Liberty.

Cheyenne, Nov. 2l.-William l.
Carlisle, train bandit, still is at lib
erty. Astelegram signed Carlisle
from Casper, thanking the Union
Pacific for the haul" is the only
additional bit of information. .
The county is being combed by
police and sheriff's officers, a posse
of 20 men is still searching the
country around Medicine Bow, aided
by United States cavalry and other
armed men are in readiness to leave
Cheyenne on 10 minutes notice by
special train in case new depreda-
tions of the bandit are reported 10
headquarters of the Union Pacific
railroad here.
Thanks tor the Haul"
Thanks for haul. Some detective
torce," the message purporting to
come from Carlisle said. Last night
the bandit was reported to have en-
tered Casper newspaper office to
inquire about news of the train rob-
berry. Descriptions furnished by
Western Union employees of the
man who filed the message at Cas-
per and by the Casper editor tally
with those of the bandit who robbed
a Union Pacific passenger train
Tuesday night.
In Cheyenne the chief concern oil
Union Pacific officials is for the
safety of passengers traversing this
state.- Guards were doubled on
trains yesterday and officials are
confident the bandit will attempt to
repeat his exploits of 1916, when he
held up three trains within a shor,
period and taunted officers with
kilograms and letters. Whether the
next robbery will be tonight, to-
morrow or the next night was q
matter which kept local railroad of
hcers keyed to high point.
/. Boasts of Ability.
Carlisle is known to have boasted
that he is the greatest train robber
in history. He boasted of the fact
that he has never killed a man nor
robbed women and old men. II

DONE" he is quoted as saying after
his capture in 1916. =
Officials are considering the pos
sibility that Carlisle may try to
leave the state for Montana or some
other state of the northwest, be-
cause in Wyoming train robbery is
a capital offense. Another theory is
that he may 60 to Denver, where
he lived in ease for some time be-
tween robberies in 1916.
These theories were current yes
terday, and while officers were
working on them. the bandit ap-
parently followed his custom of do
ing the unexpected thing and ap-
peared in Casper. -..

SOME REGIONS

COAL RATIONS
Operators Make Offer Of 20
Per Cent, Increase to Miners
Who Say 1t Is Inadequate.

Chicago, Nov. 20.-Chicago and
the Northwestern railroad region
Thursday were placed on virtual
wartime rationing of coal. Coal Of
ficials instructed retailers to refuse
to make deliveries to persons with
at least one weeks supply on hand.
While generally the coal situation
had not improved and the tension
III some districts was tighter, pros
poets of wage agreement apparent
ly were improved
All offer of 20 per cent increase
by the operators, although declared
Inadequate by the miners leaders,
was considered in Washington as
forward step toward paving the way
for settlement More practical ne
gotiation in the joint conference was
expected to follow.
Improvement Noted.
There was an improvement in
Wyoming, where the bulk of the
miners returned to work in the Rock,
Springs district, where alien radi-
Gals were blocking the resumption of
operation. Arrests of four persons
alleged to be r adicals and the pres
ence of troops at Winton helped
the situation.
New strikes said to be spreading
in the New River field of West Vir-
ginia and one called in Colorado for
tomorrow prevented an increase in
production, which Director of Rail-
roads Hines estimated at 80 per cent
of normal.
Governor Harding of Iowa tele-
graphed to governors of other
states producing soft coal, suggest
ing concerted action to take over
the mines and grant the miners sub
stantial increase pending the result
OF the JOINT wage conference.
Steel Men Alarmed.
Steel manufacturers of Pennsyl-
vania also regard the situation as
serious. The second injunction pro-
ceeding in\connection with the strike
came up in Colorado, where the at
torney general, Victor E. Keyes,
obtained an order restraining the
district mine workers officials from
putting the second Colorado strike
into effect. The action was based
on the state industrial commission
law requiring 80 days notice of
strike.
Coal rationing now embraces a
large section of the country. The
weeks supply ration for Chicago
and the northwestern region extend
ing to the Pacific coast was an
nounced. The central western re-
gion which was promised immediate
aid by Director General Hines has

PEACE TREATY
OUTCOME NOT
YET DECIDED
Senate Friends Of Pact Still
Hope to Effect Some Com
promise for Ratification
In Next Session. a.

Washington. Nov. 20.-Avenues of
speculation leading many ways were
opened up today when officials ami
diplomats turned over in their minds
the possible results at home and
abroad that are to follow termina-
ton of the special session of con-
gress last night without senate rati-
fcation of the peace treaty.
The thoughts of the treaty's
friends in the senate centered on ac-
complishing some compromise for
a ratification in the session begin
ming December 1, and to that end
steps are understood to have been
taken to ask that President Wilson
ascertain from the powers what res
ervations they would accept. H
At the White House, silence was
maintained and callers got the inn
preston that for the present the ad-
ministration was willing to await
quietly the outcome Of compromise
efforts among senator's. 1t was not
revealed whether the president
would permit that policy to stand in
the way of undertaking the diplo-
matte exchanges suggested
Expect Long Delay.
+ Everywhere the senate's action
was accepted as meaning at least a
long delay in ratification and Off
cials thought the formal establish
ment of a state of peace between
Germany and the powers that have
ratified would proceed now without
waiting further for the decision of
1.-THE United States. The chief re,
suit, it was argued, would be COM
mercial and financial.
Chief among the matters of do
nestic concern affected by the sem
ate's delay, is the wartime pro
hibition, which stock a new lease
on life with the postponement of
legal status of peace. In the same
class is various other war legisla-
ton and although the republican
leaders in congress will seek to>end
THE war formally by resolution.
constitutional objections to that
method are likely, in the opinion of
some officials, to tie up the effort
for some time in courts.
Domestic Policies.
Another line on which specula-
ton turned was the possible effect
of the senate showdown on dome site
policies. Although both parties have
disclaimed any desire to put the
treaty into politics. the chances of
keeping it out of 1920 calculations
were admitted on all sides to have
been reduced by the bitter clashes
i'll debates last night when republi-
can and democratic senators hurled
across the senate chamber their
challenges to go to the country on
the issue.
The stubborn struggle which fea-
tured the final hours of the session
was generally declared to have made
harder the compromise for which
the democratic leaders today earn
