BLOOD STAINSO
WILKINS KNIVES

MINEoLA, n. Y, April Three
blood stained knives found in the
town house Of DR.. Walter K. wilkins
In New York may have. some connec-
tion with the mystery surrounding
the murder Of Mrs. wilkins. accord
inS to detectives working on the case
II is not believed that the knives
may be connected with the attack on
Mrs. wilkins, which resulted in her
death, but IL Is thought that they
may have had something to do with
the sIlencinG OF DR.. wilkins collie
dog, which was injured, apparently
before Mrs. Wilkins was murdered.
One of the knives was a hunting
knife with a four-inch blade. The
other was an ordinary pocket knife
The bIoodstains on both knives are
apparently only a few weeks old. The
stains will be examined to determine
whether they were made by human
or animal blood.

Ends Secret Treaties.


The nations promise not TO make
secret treaties and to reduce arma-
ments. No promises are made as to
the number Of soldies or military SER
vice.
ITO reduce armaments is one OF
the way to get rid of wars. The
executive council undertakes to rec
ommend to the various states the ex-
tent OF the reduction Of their arma .
ments. The decision must be
unanimous.
The supervision OF the manufac-
ture of munitions and war material
by private concerns is provided for.
The profiteers don't like this. Manu-
facturers in the United States have
become rich helping to start revolu-
tions in South America, and the
Krupps have made millions stirring
up trouble in the Balkans.
"The executive council creates COM
missions with advisory functions
only, to advise on labor questions and
or military and naval ques.
tions-like subcommittee. the en-
forcement OF whose recommendations
depends upon public opinion.
The reason why they are so slow
At the peace conference is that action
must be unanimous in most Eases.
Only on minor questions can a ma
jority or a two-thirds majority rule.
GuRrdiHnshIp Optional.
while President Wilson has insist
ed that the captured colonies be
treated as wards Of the league. no
nation has to assume guardianship
unless IL wants to. The United States
does not have to accept a mandatory
from the league OF nations to police
Turkey or other undesirable spots.
president Wilson told me himself
that he believed the only people pub
lie opinion would cause us TO look
after would be the long-suffering Ar
menians. He said there had been so
much agitation in the churches on
account of their suffering for Chris
tianity that the people of America
would want to be their guardians.
eff a nation violates any Of its
promises and goes to war before nine
months have elapsed or against the
unanimous decision o. the executive
council, il is treated as an act Of war
against every other nation in the
league.
The other nations promise to dis
solve all commercial. financial, and
personal relations with the offending
peoples. IT means a boycott and a
blockade, and ! don't believe there is
q nation in the world that could
stand the terrible pressure Of such 4
blockade except the United States.

powered to advise the military and

LET USED AUTO
BUYER BEWARE
Fellow is Taking Big Chances i'm
Buying Used Automobile From
Stranger, Under New
Law
BUYING STOLEN CARS
INVOLVES BIG PENALTY
Stealing an Auto Now Involves Five
Years imprisonment and Fine
of $4,000.

When YOU buy a used automobile
OF a stranger you take a big chance
under the new law. Time was when
stranger came along with some
thing to sell people bought it and
remarked, II don't know where he
got it but | know | got a bargain, .
says the Marshalltown Times Repub-
lican. 1t has been that way with
automobiles. Perhaps the buyer
understood that he took a chance
and that somebody with proof of
ownership might come along and
take it away from him, but that
seemed a remote prospect So the
case with which stolen automobiles
might be disposed of built up the
gangs of thieves that have made 4
machine unguarded a dangerous
thing to do. But under the new law
the partaker, innocent or otherwise.
is made as bad as the thief. Stealing
an automobile now involves five
years Imprisonment and $4,000 fine.
Buying stolen automobile involves
the same penalties. 1t is a plain case
of ''let the buyer beware"
Just how far the courts would
construe the law to apply to the buy
er is of course not settled, but the
man who buys a machine without
satisfying himself thoroughly of the
sellers title to sell buys an option
on fine and Imprisonment.
1t is severe law and its applica.
ton will probably be severe until
the organized theft of cars is broken
up. 1t is good law and necessary
law also, for there is no good reason
to beo offered against forcing the buy
er to assure himself that he is maxi
ing an honest deal.
