CHAMBERLAIN REPEATS STORY
American Officer Will Not Take Back
Anything.

This story may read like a fairy
tale, but upon my oath it is true" was
the statement made by Capt. Edmund
G.. Chamberlain Of San Antonio, Texas,
testifying in his own defense in Paris
last Friday at the f'.rrican naval
courtmartial in connection with his
reported exploit on the British front
during the fighting last summer.
Captain Chamberlain related, with
an abundance of detail, the story OF
the great. battle in which the BRITISH
squadron in which, he says, he was
hving took part Returning after
bombing expedition over Ffsmes'
where he was positive he brought
down two German airplanes In flames
and two other enemy machines Oh
which he was uncertain, he said, ne
became separated from the squadron
because of engine trouble and came
down between the lines, where he
CAPTURED one German soldier and sue
ceeded in bringing in wounded
French officer.
He made his report Of the fight, at
the request of the British officer COM
manding the squadron, he said, to
cover him up" He said the officer
asked him for the report, as he was
liable to courtmartial for permitting
the American aviator to fly in Brit
ish machine. Captain Chamberlain
gave a vivid description Of the battle
in the air and Of how he captured the
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1919-04-29

German with a compass torn from
his broken airplane. He said he had
no idea at the time that the compass
resembled hand grenade, but mere
ly desired to throw the first thing that
he could see.
Chamberlain told his story calmly
and it appeared to make a deep i'm.
preston.
The cross examination was contin-
ued this afternoon Chamberlain having
been on the stand for two full days.
The prosecutor today produced q
compass, similar to that used on the
British camel machine, and asked
Chamberlain to wrench It from its
bearings, as Chamberlain claimed he
had done with the compass on the ma
chine in which he was flying. Cham
berlain mildly objected, saying that
the instrument was loose, while that
on the Camel machine was screwed
to a wooden board, giving him more
leverage.
II have wrenched one from a plane
to machine gun bullet music accom-
paniment and am willing to try 1t here
with music" Chamberlain added, how
ever.
Donald Harper, counsel for the de-
fendant, interposed an objection here
and was sustained by the court.
The defense today served notice on
the court that If the prosecution in
sisted on moving the trial back to
London the defendant would demand
its return to Paris, where the defense
desires the verdict to be rendered.

ADMIRAL RoUsEs TEACHERS.
Says No Boy Over Ten Should Learn
From Women.

Rear Admiral Casper F. Goodrich
-aused a sensation at Trenton, N. Y,
Thursday by his radical views on edu-
cation in an address before the an
nual meeting Of the county superin-
tendents of schools and the helping
teachers of New Jersey. The admir-
al has been in charge Of the Prince
ton naval unit and graduated from An
napolis in 1854 and was one OF the
heroes of the war with Spain, having
accepted Cervera's surrender. He was
introduced by State Commissioners
of Education Kendall as "a man whose
views on education Of the young are
very heterodox."
The admiral opened his address by
declaring it criminal" to force little
children to carry home from school
every day q big load Of books for
study. "The people who take up the
time Of the children outside OF school
by making them study when they
ought to be playing and enjoying
bealthful exercising should be pun
ished," said the speaker. There should
be no text books for children under
.welve years of age. except readers.
he declared. The parents are COM
pelled to do the real teaching at home
and the teachers merely hear the les
sons and get paid for 1t, in his opinion.
"Tll be hanged II I'd do your work
and let you get the pay" was the way
he put it up to the educators.
In his concluding remarks he de-
clared: mo boy over ten years should
be taught by a woman"
The educators received the address
with great interest and not little
amusement, and at its conclusion gave
the admiral vote Of thanks.

[pirsctor ofsPubIishers' Advisory sos~d
Replies to Burleson.
Replying in a statement to the
charge Of Postmaster General Burle-
son that he is the victim Of an Organ
lied propaganda" Charles Johnson
Post, director Of the publishers advis-
ory board declares that it is not the
publishers of the country who need de-
fense, but the postmaster general him
self. He asserts that decentralization OF
the postal service was fact which ev-
cry business man and American home
is able to Judge out of their own expe-
rience.
The publishers advisory board con-
sists Of the Periodical Publishers AS
sociation Of America, the Associated
Business papers, Inc, the American
Medical Editors association, the New
York Medical Publishers association
the Association of Religious Press, the
Allied Printing Trades council and the
Authors League of America.
THE amazing official statement by
Postmaster General Burleson in his
own defense, following his refusal to
transmit the news dispatch OF the
New York World because such dis
patch reflected upon his incapacity, is
challenge to every serious thinking
American-even though he rescindeo
such order the following day." said
Mr.. Post. THAT such Prussian and
vicious one-man censorship can be es-
tablished j. the postoffice department
by Mr.. Burleson or anyone else, re-
veals a menace to our nation and
American ideals far beyond Mr.. Burle-
sons point that he thinks he has been
criticised too harshly.
Whether the postal service is good
or bad is not matter Of argument or
of Mr. Burleson's personal opinion
The public knows from its own expert
ences, suffered day by day, from the
camps in France to the commerce OF
Frisco and as evidenced by the par
tial investigations Of the most reliable
business organizations Of the country
What Mr.. Burleson calls organized
propaganda is the expression of senti-
ment of hundreds and hundreds OF re-
sponsible business organizations with
their many thousands of business men,
chambers of commerce, educational In
stitutions, labor organizations. reli-
gious organizations and cultural or
ganizations that have formally com
demned the various inefficient postal
methods and principles which ne

PEACE IN SIXTY DAYS.
After Signing Pact to Become Effective
Over Whole World.

After Signing Pact to Become Effective
Over Whole World.
A clause has been DRAFTED for in
sertion in the treaty fixing the date
for state Of peace sixty days after
signing Of the treaty, says Paris dis
patch of Friday. If the treaty is sign
ed about May Is, peace thus will be-
come effective throughout the world
on July Is.
The purpose of this provision is to
prevent confusion among the more
than score Of belligerents which
might result from different dates In
their various ratiflcations. According
to the present plan, each nation will
ratify the treaty according to its own
laws, but all will unite in common
date, which will become a universal
day Of peace.
It is being considered whether the
United States, as an associated power,
but not an ally, should sign separate
treaty with Germany. It would be
the same treaty as that signed by the
Allies and would be signed at the same
time, as part Of the same ceremony
but the effect of the separate treaty
would be to preserve the position Of the
United States as an associated instead
of an Allied power, and would be a
direct engagement between the United
States and Germany, instead Of be-
tween the United States and large
number Of other Allied powers, ct
Count Won Brockdorff- Raptzau stated
he German ENJOYS had been designated
with the idea that pourparlers will oc-
cur simultaneously with the delivery
Of the preiiminaries Of peace"
This statement Is causing careful
scrutiny of Mr.. Wilson's fourteen
points," Intimations have been re-
ceived that the chief discussion will be
whether the treaty accords with those
points. One expert engaged says the
principal discussion will occur over
the fifth point, relative to the German
colonies, and the second. which pro-
vides for free, open and absolute
freedom Of the seas"
The fifth point provides for "-ee
open and absolutely impartial adjust
ment of all colonial claims" The
treaty ends Gernanys control Of her
former colonies, with the league Of
nations establishing mandatories.
One of the men drafting the treaty
has expressed the belief that it would
be physically impossible to complete
instrument in time for the arrival OF
the Germans, and that it might even
take until May Is. 1t is understood
President Wilson and Premier Lloyd
George insist that no parts be present
ed by themselves; and that the entire
document be presented. This may
lead to a bright period Of inaction un-
til the document Is ready.

ing the year 1861 as the DaSe, runs
up to somewhat higher level than the
rise during the present war. In both
wars, building materials rose in price
but they did not either time reach
levels as high as the price levels OF
other commodities.
AT the beginning of the year 1855,
the end Of the Civil war being In
sight, wholesale prices broke suddenly
and violently. During the first six
months of the year, prices in general
fell off q per cent from the high Level
of January. However, the break in
wholesale prices, though unpreced-
ented in violence and accompanied by
the unsettling influence of the end OF
the great war, produced no business
crisis or depression. Through the lat
ter half of 1865 prices recovered from
the low point until in January 1866,
they stood just 16> per cent below the
level on January, 1865. From the be-
ginning of 1866 prices dropped slowly
downward. Fhey did not reach the
pre- war level until the year 1878. As
is we'll known, during that period
inflated currency, gold was at a pre-
MUM. However, comI.odity prices
remained above the prices Of gold up
to and including the year 1877.
Building materials declined in price
along with other commodities during
the first half of the year 1865. How
ever, the fall was less than in the case
of other commodities. Whereas COM
Enodities in general dropped 27 per
cent, building materials dropped only
IA 1-2 per cent The recovery during
the second half of the year was more
marked, prices of building materials
returning to the level of the last quar-
Ter Of ,ne year Of 1854, and remain
ing at that level for period Of a year
before the decline set in. The index
remained higher than that for all COM
modities up to and including the year
1874.
The currency was on q distinctly
unSOunQ OASIS III the SlSll "dT TcCOH-
struction period. The sharp fluctua-
tions in prices gave rise to much spec
ulation and the opportunities for de-
velopment Of the resources Of the
country, such as unused land, rivers
and harbors, buildings of railroads, led
to over expansion of business result
ing in the financial panic of 1873. This
panic was not accompanied by any
sharp decline in prices.
"As we stated above, it was thir-
teen years after the Civil war before
prices returned to the pre-war level.
The principal cause Of the return to
the pre-war level was the fact that
there was such abundant opportunity
for the development Of new and more
economic methods of production in the
shape of new forms of machinery and
new kinds of business organizations.
These opportunities we do not have
at the present day in any measure
comparable with the previous period"

Prices Double Since 1914.-The aver
aee of prices of articles bought by
farmers in 1918 is estimated by the
hureau of crop estimate to be about
80 per cent higher than in 1917, about
07 per cent higher than in 1914, and
los per cent higher than prices OF
articles bought by farmers in 1909. -,
Prices of articles which farmers sell
wore only about IA per cent higher In
1918 than in 1917 but about 81 per cent
higher than in 1914, That is, since
1914 the prices of articles which farm
ers buy and prices of articles Whlch
| farmers sell increased in about the
same proportion. Farmers products
were the first to advance, but other
products during the last year have
overtaken the advance OF farm pro-
ducts Thus from 1914 to 1917 the
advance of farm products was ABOUT
| "a per cent, as compared with an ad-
vance of about 40 per cent for articles
farmers buy, but in the last year the
increase of farm products was as stat
ed only about IA per cent compared
other articles.
Detailed comparisons of prices Of
many articles bought by farmers are
obtained from about 5000 dealers
Throughout the United States by the
department of agriculture. Schedules
asked for average prices in 1918 and
1917. The inquiry a year ago asked
| for prices in 1917 and 1916. There
fore two sets of averages are obtain
for each year. When the two averages
| ifiercd an adjustment was made
| by adopting approximately the average
of the two.
