MARK TWAIN TURNED DOWN
Popular Writer'S Report on City's
Religious Condition Failed to
Appear in Print.

When Mark Twain was a reporter
on the Virginia City Enterprise he was
given an assignment to report the con
dtion OF the churches in Gold Hill
The next day he turned in the follow
ing, which the managing editor de-
clined to print:
your reporter had some difficulty
in securing an interview with the pas
tor of the Baptist church. He found
him pushing an OK cart on the dump
pile of the Overman mine. He said
that he was doing this not merely for
exercise but for $3.50 a day. He said
that his clerical salary was nominally
$50 per month. hut the irregularty
with which it was not paid was very
distressing. The butcher, he said.
had been very kind 10 him, but his
patience had limits and lately when
called upon for a beefSteak he had,
in an absent-minded way. cut off o
piece of liver. His congregation had
dwindled to II hearers, and the col
lection for the previous Sabbath
amounted tn but 40 cents. He had
made one convert. but had been I'M
able to baptize him. for the water
company had refused to supply the
water except for cash in advance.
con the whole" reported Mark
Twain, the condition of the cause of
religion in Gold Hill seems to leave
very much TO be desired

PROSECUTED JEWS

BUENOS AIRES. Jan. ga large
group OF representative Is-aelitIes
visited President Irigoyen to protest
against the treatment of Jews. The
grand rabbi. in the course OF an ad-
dress to the President. said:
During the recent disturbance
Iews were the victims of unjust
atrocities and inexcusable ,asults,
Under the suspicion that some Rus
SLAMS were among the agitators, the
entire Jewish population, without
distinction as to age or sex, were
prosecuted and maltreated without
the slightest respect even toward
women, children. or the aged, leaving
an adverse and hostile atmosphere
against the entire Jewish population
throughout the republic, which stilI
exposes us to new attacks and re-
prfsals at any mOmenc. under any
pretext."
The rabbi begged for the punish-
ment OF those responsible and plead
ed for justice for "an important pOr-
tion of the population which is peace
full and Industrious, and has always
contributed to the moral and Cco-
nonlic progress OF the republic" He
asked that special precautions be
taken to protect Jews in the prov
inces, where prosecutions are report
ed, and this President Irigoyen prom
ised.

BERLINAIRRAID
HALTED BY PEACE

Had the war lasted a week longer,
British air squadrons would have
rained bombs on Berlin, Senator
Wadsworth of New York told the
Senate today in a speech reviewing
his experiences on the western front
Touching on conditions under which
the American army fought, he said:
"The army was short OF several
items of material ana equipment.
Some Of the shortages were unavoid-
able; some, I believe, can be traced
to the makeshift system, or lack OF
system, here at home.
"The 4. Z. F. had to rely almost
entirely upon the French for its field
artillery and. up TO the last moments
of the war, for the shells to feed the
guns.
AirPIane Shortage.
"The same is true OF aifplanes. As
an instance Of our shortage in planes,
however, I may state the fact that
on the occasion Of the American at
tack against the st. Aiihiel salient, OF
the fourteen pursuit squadrons opef-
ating with our forces only three were
all American: the rest were French.
1--WE borrowed hundreds OF motor
trucks from the French and the
British because we did not have
enough OF our own No American
built tanks reached the battle front:
The French supplied US with what
tanks they could spare.
@One shortage was. from time to
time, very serious, and that was the
shortage in forage and horses, par
ticularly for the artillery. Through
some miscalculation, arrangement. or
change in plans, the supply OF forage
for animals actually approached the
vanishing. point during last winter.
Artillery horses had to be put on
short rations. Short rationS are not
conducive to the staying power, or
the long life Of a horse.
"I,venture this criticism: That the
American army, generally speaking,
does not know how to take care Of
horses. The officers in charge Of ar
tilleTy and transport units did not re-
ceive sufficient instruction to enable
them to teach their men how to care
for q horse"

WOMEN FARMERS
PLAN SPRING WORK

New York farmers using woman
farm labor last year viii ask for It
again this year, according to reports
from the Woman's Land Army Of
America
The first annual convention OF the
New York State division OF the Wom-
ans Land Army OF America recently
created by the United States En-
Payment Service OF the Department
Of Labor, is in session at the Hotel
Astor, New York city.
From localities where farmers had
Woman's Land Army camps last sum
mer, favorable reports have been re-
ceived, showing that the farmers
liked the work OF the women well
enough to ask for them another sea-
son In localities where there were
no camps, but where there Is !rten-
sive farming being carried Cn the
Woman's Land Army states that a
demand is being made for camps this
season. a general opinion OF the
New York State farmers seems to be
that despite the fact that, the soldiers
are returning, there will be a decided
shortage OF farm labor during the
coming year, and the land army
hopes to materially assist in meeting
that shortage, especially since they
are being urged to increase the num-
Der Of acres to be put under cul-
tivation.
The Woman's Land Army OF Amer
lea was started as a war emergency
movement, but Is today regarded Of
great importance in the reconstruc-
tion work confronting this country,
particularly in view OF the fact that
America has made an unqualified
pledge Of 20, 900. 900 tons Of food to
Europe, and Tabor must be supplied
to make it possible to produce this
food and in the keeping OF this
pledge, the land army is an important
