ate foreign relations committee will
be headed by Senator Lodge of Massa-
chusetts, who has again and again at.
tackled features of the proposed
leagues constitution. -
The charge has been made repeated
ly IN Congress that President Wilson
has sought to extend, and has ex-
tended. the power of the executive
over the legislative branch of the
government until the latter has be-
come entirely subservient. The re-
publicans say that it is time such
condition cease and that Congress
again assert itself. But charges of
the usurpation of power have been
made by Congresses against other
Presidents. Roosevelt, Cleveland,
Hayes. Johnson-all came under the
ban. But the belief that the Presi-
dent has ridden roughshod over Con-
gress adds to the tension between
the White House and Capitol Hill.
There is no doubt. also, that the re-
publicans will, seek political capital
wherever they can find it for use in
the next national election. Investi-
cations of all kinds in connection
with the conduct of the war are
threatened. and behind them will be
the hope of Embarrassing the admin

Congress refused to admit repre-
sentatives or senators from the states
as reconstructed by the President.
johnson insisted that the southern
states had had no right to secede
and that they had never been out OF
the Union. and therefore did not have
to be readmitted to the Union. Con-
eress took the other tack. insisted
that the states had to be constructed

That the menace to existing order IS not

strated by the fear and trembling occasioned

Johnson and the Thirty-nlnth ana
Eortieth congresses-1S65 to 1863.
President johnson succeeded Lincoln
at the outset of the reconstruction
period, following the civil war.
President Wilson also has many re-
construction or readjustment- prob
lens on his hands. though they are
hardly comparable to those which con-
fronted the nation in 1855. President
Johnson determined that he would DO
the reconstructing of government in
the Confederate states himself, and
therefore did not call a special ses-
sion of the Congress. Not until Des
cember did Congress assemble, and
in the eight months intervening from
the time of the death of Lincoln and
Johnson's elevation to the presidency
until Congress met johnson had re

President did not meet the approVai

element had been particularly pleased

work of reconstruction. in the opin"

views changed materially President
Johnson desired to leave to the states
themselves the question of DEALING
with the freed slaves, instead of hav-
ing the federal government force
upon the states legislation providing
for the future status Of the. freed
men. This was a vast problem for the
states, which had some 100000 fofS

was the enactment of stringent laws
by some of the southern states
against vagrancy. etc. which virtual

CLOSED SEASON
FOR CRABS OFF
MORE THAN TWO HUNDRED
BOATS AGAIN ACTIVE OFF
GOLDEN GATE

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26-After
the annual vacation" of. three
months and a half due to the en-
forced closed season under the Cali
fornia law, crab fishers of San
Francisco are again at work, oper-
atoms having been resumed Satur-
day, November Is, following sus-
pension since July 80.
More than 200 boats comprise the
San Francisco crab fleet, and they
operate outside the heads of the
Golden Gate, their base of opera
lions being Fishermen's Wharf,
where not only the crab fishers bpt
hundreds of boats engaged in deep
sea fishing are Quartered.
The closed season for the crab
fishermen comedies with the moult-
ing time of the crustaceans, and is
established by law 70 conserve the
supply.
The three and a half month period
gives the crabs time to get an en-
tirely new outfit of wearing ap-
parel, and they are now in new
hard shells and their flesh has re-
sumed its edible condition.
When the time for moulting is
due the crab discards his old shell
by walking out backwards. This
leaves the crabs body soft and
watery. Sudden growth then oc-
ours, the crab swelling at least 20
per cent in size. This is followed
by a gradual hardening of the new
shell.
Strict enforcement of the closed
season, in which the crab fishermen
cooperate, realizing that it is to
their benefit, has kept up a large
supply of crabs, according to N. r.
Scofield, head of the commercial
department of the California fish
and game commission.
other conservation measures
which preserve the industry are the
provisions which forbid catching of
any crab measuring under seven
inches across the back of the she'll.

TEUTONS HAVE NO
DESIGNS IN EAST
TREATY OF VERSAILLES TO BE
THE SOLE BASIS OF
POLICY

BERLIN, Nov. 26.-The peace
treaty of Versailles constitutes the
sole basis of Germany's eastern
policy today and tomorrow, asserts
the North German Gazstte. The
newspaper points out that Germany,
in that treaty, engaged to declare
the treaty of Brest-Litovsk to be
null and void and to recognize such
new erstwhile Russian border states
as might receive the approval of the
entente.
The paper denounces the German
Independent socialists for endeavor-
ing to induce the German govern
ment to open negotiations with the
soviet government er Russia. 1t de-
clares that the intention of the in
dependents is to lead the German
government to support the Russian
bolshevik regime Il TO give mill
tary, economic and diplomatic back
ing.
This" says the paper, would
be a breach of the peace terms and
would bring about just what the in
dependents are so anxious to avoid,
a conflict with the entente.
1T must remain, therefore, that
the German government lives with
the soviet. government neither in
peace nor war. but that 1t awaits
the development of affairs in east
ern Europe until the hour when re-
l~ations can be established, without
endangering Germany's fate"

HILO, Hawaii, Nov. 24.--The
mysteries of a-a lava, the mechan-
ism of it's flow, and it's behavior in
motion to a large extent have bee
solved by the recent great eruption
at Mauna Loa, one of the volcanoes

After camping three days and
nights at the fountainhead of the

Hilo recently convinced that the
peak of the recent great eruption
had passed.
When the professor left the vol
cano only one Jet of the original
half dozen was playing. This fcun-
tain was leaping to a height of 800
feet and sometimes more from the
throat of a cone which had built
itself up during the outburst to a
height of 100 feet above the level

of the mountain, from which in

many as 80 different points when
the professor first visited the
source in the earliest stages of its
activity. +.
On his last trip Professor Jacrar
crossed the active fissure at a time
when activity was confined To the

The cone from which issued the
greater bulk of the earlier Aliaka
flow is now dead. The professor
climbed this cone and looked down
from it's topmost edge into a great
amphitheater 800 feet deep and
1000 feet wide.
After watching the two flows
Professor Jaggar verified by meas
urements a conjecture which he
first made while observing the pull
sations of the Alika channel. He
noted then that the torrent of fire
had moments when the stream
seemed to rise along it's whole
length. Immediately it was sug-
gested to him that the whole flow
was alive. the bed of the stream
as well as the river it bore. The
rise, he believed. must be a rise of
the bed itself. heaved upward by
pressure from living depths below.

said. is of such extent that it could
not be flooded brimful before the
first of next year and before that
time, judging from the lessening ac-
tivity. the present great flow OF
Mauna Loa will be dead.

SWEDEN'S FIRST FREE
PORT BEING PREPARED

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 13.-Swe-
den's first free port, which forms a
part of Stockholm harbor, is now
open for business although it is far
from being completed. 1t will take
considerable time, possibly ten
years, to carry out the whole scheme
for improvement. Two ocean
steamers can be dispatched at the
same time. Beginning with next
year the port will have large piers
which will permit the unloading of
ships of 27 feet draught. The har-
Dor will then be ready to receive a
considerable part of the goods to be
distributed to the Baltic countries.

HEAVY THEFTS FROM
GERMAN RAILROADS

BERLIN, Nov. 1.-THE annual
thefts from German railroads are
officially characterized as amazing,
amounting this year to goods val
ued at 11S.000,0 600 marks. In peace
times, the thefts usually cost the
railroads from 100000 to 5.00O.-
600 marks. Herr Oeser. Prussian
minister of railroads, in announcing
these figures in the Prussian diet,
said that a bureau would be created
by the ministry of railroads to COM
bat the evil and that all persons con-
nected with the ministry who had
connived in the thefts would be
dismissed.

PARA, Mouth of Amazon River,
Nov. 21.-Business conditions in
the Amazon valley are beginning to
cover from the disturbance of
mi caused by the a Rub
Der estate owners, and business men
generally, realize that the competi-
ton of Oriental plantation" rubber
which has forced the market price
of that article down to about the
actual cost. Of gathering wild"
Amazon rubber is really a blessing
in disguise. since it is bringing
about the development of the other
natural left untouched so
long as rubber monopolized all at
tention in the valley. Foodstuffs
that used t. be imported from
abroad, or from other parts of Bra
zil, are now being raised locally.
A party headed by Henry S. Flem-
ing, of New York, which has been
investigating the commercial posi-
bilities of the Amazon valley has
returned to this city after a two
months tour of the Amazon and
some of it's principal affluents,
nearly 5000 miles of rivers being
covered in the course of the trip.
Mr.. Fleming is receiver of an Amer
lean company with extensive dock
ing, shipyard and navigation prop
erty at Para.
The main river was assembled for
over $500 miles, as far as Iluitos,
Peru, and also the Javary, Perus,
Negro, Xingu, Moju, Tocantiins and
other rivers for varying distances. A
vast amount OF valuable infOrma-
ton and data has been gathered
as a result, which is being placed
free of charge at the disposal of
American manufacturers, importers,
exporters and others interested in
the development of the Amazon val
ley. Many inquiries have recently
been made my Americans seeking in
formation regarding lands available
for cattle raising, grain growing,
and minerals, which indicates an
awakening interest in the United
States in regard to the Amazon
country.
According to Mr.. Fleming the
most encouraging sign noted on thu
trim was the Increase in the DrOduc
ton of foodstuffs of all kinds. Man
dioca corn, sugar cane, rice, abeans,
bananas, melons, fruits of many
species, and occasionally tobacco
and cotton, have been planted in
small patches along the river banks
near the towns and settlements. Be-
fore the war practically all food
stuffs had to be imported as the
wages paid rubber gatherers was
so high as to make labor unavail-
able for agricultural work. Most
of this planting is done on the low
lying banks of rivers, and at least
two crops of corn, beans, mandiaco,
ETC., are gathered between floods.
One of the staple products most
affected by the rubber boom was
cacoa. When labor was attracted
by the lure of high wages. most of

Local cotton men are optimistic
as to the future of Amazon cotton,
which is said to be of excellent
quality and long staple. There are
large, immense of the ANA
zon valley suitable for cotton grow
ing, and in many places, notably
Iquitos PERU, Santarem, Monte
Allegro, this is now being produced
in increasing quantities. Last year
was the first that any concerted eff
fort was made to grow cotton, but
the idea seems to have taken on
with many land owners.
The Amazon valley is said to be
the greatest undeveloped region in
the world today, on every side there
are natural resources, of immense
value, with commercial possibilities,
which are as yet untouched. The
soil is said to be extraordinarily fer
tile. The forests offer woods in in
exhaustible variety, many of them
cabinet woods of rare value. OF
vegetable oil nuts, a tenth part only
is known to the outside world.
Resins, gums, spices, medicinal
plants, fibres abound, in infinite
variety. Kapok grows along the
banks of most of the main rivers,
but not a pound of it is exported to
the United States, although Ameri-
ca imported 100000 pounds last
wear from far away Java. There
are mineralized areas said to con-
tain coal, iron, gold, solver and
precnous metals of many kinds.
They have not yet been prospected.
Many merchants up river, with
whom the Associated Press CORE
spondent spoke, in Iquitos Manaos,
Fonte Boa, Itacoatfara, Obidos. San
tarem and Monte Allegro look for
close business relations with the
United States. They point out
that foreign financial and technical
assistance and machinery are neces-
sary to help develop the immense
of the valley, and they
believe they are more likely to re-
ceive help from the United tSates
than from any other of the great
powers. There is a strongly pro-
American feeling in Brazil.
The principal stores in the towns
of Obidos and Suntarem, for in

posters depicting Uncle Sam ar
rayed in stars and stripes smoking
a certain cigarette OF native manu-
facture, a contented smile on his
genial face. In another store a
shoe made in Brazil had the Ameri-
can flag as a trade mark. The use
of our flag in such a manner, would,
of course, be officially frowned upon
in the United States, but the use of
it in a South American country may
be regarded as a hopeful sign of the
times, pregnant of good for the
future commercial relations between
