ASSEMBLY REVOLT
AS INQUIRY FAILS TO CLEAH
THE ALLEGED DRY
SCANDAL.
Ohio Forgery" Mystery Remains
Observation-Disclosures Join Wet Forces
Until Case Is SettIed-Emergency
CIase Is To Start Warm Battle.

Columbus, Ohio - Notwithstanding
studious attempts to laugh it to rldl-
Guile at the outset, the alleged forgery
scandal investigated by the Senate
has developed into one of the most
serious obstacles in the way or dry
leaders in their effort to enact dras-
tic prohibition law with an emergency
clause attached. Following closely
upon the ultimatum of Senator
Thomas w. Latham, Chairman OF the
Special Investigating Committee, that
he would not vote for any dry legisla-
ton until the forgery charge had been
cleared up, came report OF announcer
Senator of equally strong dry pro-
clivities, who has issued a similar
ultimatum to dry leaders. The Sena-
tor in question, it is said, is involved
innocently in the pending inquiry and
desires to have his name cleared OF
any connection with the alleged
wrong doing.
He is quoted as having said that
his dry constituents are backing him
up in his determination to have the
facts made public. 1t was reported
about the Senate Chamber that Sena-
tor Frank r. Whittemore, the ma
iority leader, has informed Anti-Sa-
loon leaders that there is no chance
of enacting the emergency clause in
the prohibition bill in the Senate I'M
til the mystery surrounding the alleged
forgery and the transmission of a copy
of the resolution ratifying the national
prohibition to Washington has been
solved to the satisfaction of the mem
bers. The members of the special in
vestigation committee, it was learned
have reconsidered their intention of
submitting their intention of submit
ting a report to the Senate advising
of their inability to fix the blame for
the alleged mlsdeeds. Instead, they
have resolved to drag the inquiry along
while the prohibition bills are pend
ing or until some one makes confess
sion of the whole affair.
There is no denying that "a tri1ing
incident" has developed into one of
the most troublesome annOyances en-
countered by the element in and about
legislative halls who are endeavOring
to fasten upon the citizens a drastic
law in the passage of which they shall
be denied a referendum II the emer-
gency clause carries.

AMERICANS AND
JAPANESE CLASH
rrouble Said To Have Been Caused
BY the Rough Treatment Given
to the American Soldiers.

Washington, D. CA clash be-
tween American troops, Japan
csc policeman and civilians at
Tien Tsin was reported to the state
Department by Minister Reinsch at
Picking. The minister said he had sent
First Secretary Spencer to Tien Tsin
TO make a complete investigation.
No mention was made of RAID on
the Japanese Consulate and the wound
ing of the Consul, reported in a Pe-
king dispatch to the Associated Press.
The minister's message was brlef ana
gave no details. In the absence OF
complete information, officials were
not willing to discuss the incident Tor
publication. Privately, however, 1t
was said if the Japanese Consulate
had been attacked the guilty would De
punished and a proper apology would
be made to Japan. Inc Japanese
Consulate is located in a saloon ana
restaurant section of Tien Tsln and
brawls there in the past are said TO
have been frequent.
NAVY Department officials doubted
that 200 marines were involved in the
raid. as reported, because no marines
are stationed at Tien Tsin and the
entire contingent at Picking, three or
four hours ride away, numbers only
a few hundred Only the presence OF
q number of American ships in port,
of which the department has not been
advised, could account for SO many
marines being ashore and off duty at
Tien Tsin. The American force sta
toned at Tien Tsin is the Fifteenth
Regular Infantry Regiment, which mas
been there for several years and which
is composed entirely of veteran SOL
dierS.

FRANCE WELCOMES WILSON
Streets of Brest Are GayIy Decorated
in Honor of the Arrival OF the
Presidential Party.

Brest.-President Wilson and the
party which came with him from the
United States left Brest for Paris. Inc
President and Mrs. Wilson disembarK'
ed from the George Washington. Id
honor of the Presidents arrival Brest
was decorated gaily, all the decora,
lions having been put in place Defore
midday. The work was done with sur
prising alacrity, flags and banners APP
pearing almost as if by magic. Large
banners stretched across the streets
bear the legend, "Welcome, Wilson"
The railway station was bedeckeo
with allied flags and the Star-Spanglee
Banner, which, with the French trl
color, predominated in the decorative
scheme. The U. S. George Washing
ton was 10 hours late owing to hlgh
winds and heavy seas. Immediately
after President Wilson had stepped
ashore a wireless message was handed
TO him. It was from Amherst College,
and announced that the students OF
that institution had voted unanimously
in favor of League of Nations. ms
first message from home to greet the
President upon his entry into the mar
Dor pleased him immensely. He men
toned the fact, and showed the mes
sage to Mrs. Wilson, who read it ana
smiled. Mr.. Wilson said he considered
it to be a good omen, and that he was
moved by "deep gratitude" AS the
George Washington warped her way
into the harbof of Brest the French
launch Naphtha, scudding alongside
the Presidents ship, caught fire.

SMOKING TOBACCO
FACTS FROM The
ENCYCLOPAEDIA
The Use Of FIavorings Deter
mines Difference In Brands

The Encyclopedias Britannica says,
about the manufacture of smoking to-
baeco: :" ON the Continent and in,
America, certain sauces are employed
the use of the sauces is to improve
the favour and burning qualities OF the
leaves" Which indicates that smokers
enjoyment depends as much upon the
flavoring used as upon the tobacco.
Your nose is a sure guide in the mat
ter of f1avorings. Try this simple test
with several tobacco brands: pour some
tobacco into your palm, rub brisLly,
and smell. You will notice distinct
difference in the fragrance OF every
brand. The tobacco that smells best to
you viii smoke best in your pipe, you
can rest assured.
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco,
plus a dash Of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance
your nose can quickly distinguish from
any other tobacco. Try it and see.

TREATY DATE IS
VITAL QUESTION
U. s. MAY BE TECHNICALLY AT
WAR AFTER OTHER POWERS
ARE AT PEACE.
pact Must Be Ratified BY the Senate
Before 1t Will Become Operative
Ratification Might Long Be Delayed
Through Circumstances.

Partisan interesting question OF
,mnortance to the United States mas
arisen here. Upon it's answer depends
the continued operation of much war
legislation, such as control OF ran
roads. the prohibition of the manufac-
ture and sale of liquors and similar
enactments. with reference to the date
on which the war officially will cease.
Assuming that Secretary OF state
Robert Lansing will sign the peace
treaty for the United States, along
with the Powers associated with the
Tinted States in the war, when 1t Is
signed by the Germans, it is pointed
out that this act will not become Ell
fective, as far as the United States IS
concerned, until it is ratified by the
Tinted States Senate. Even II tnat
body disposed favorably, 1t was stated
ratification might long be deferred, pc
cause the Senate is in recess ana so
will remain until called into speclal
session by the President.
IT is true the President might 90
this by cabled proclamation, his per-
sonal attendance upon the session not
being required, but even at best, II IS
asserted, it is possible that the United
States might be placed in the pecuiiar
position of being technically alone at
war with Germany long after her as
sociates formally had concluded peace
One solution Of the problem that mas
beer suggested is that in the peace
treaty itself the date for formally end
ing the war be placed far enough IN
the future to permit of action by the
Senate in the interim, but thus FAR no
definite conclusion has been reached.

seed or for hay. The rows should be
80 to so inches apart, depending up
on the fertility Of the land and the
variety grown. The seed should be
planted just as cotton or corn. An
ordinary corn planter can be used
very successfully for this purpose.
About rs to 35 pounds Of medium
size seed should he planted per acre.
In planting, however, the seed should
not be planted deeper than two inch

deeper than one and one-half inches.

COUNTY GOVERNMENT.

e. C. ,Branson, professor OF rural
economics and sociology Of the Uni
versity Of North Carolina, in speak
ing of county government says in
part:
The least creditable institution In
America today, the least efficient
and most wasteful, the thing the
average citizen knows least about
the matter most neglected by the col
leges Of the country, the Dark Conti'
nent of American politics, the Jun
gle Of American Democracy, are
some Of the phrases in common use
about County Government as com
monty found in the $500 counties In
the United States.
County Government is without
ideals. County officers serve with no
Manuel Of Duties, Responsibilities
and Procedures-exeept in . bare
half-dezen states. It is headless at.
fair, uninfermed, unregardless Of
law.
County Government is without
in the United States. The year Be.
fore the World War began It g.
mounted to ss5 million dollars, o.
about a third as much as the total
expenses Of the Federal Govern
ment.
And yet the average citizen knews
little or nothing county finances,
about the tax list and the amazing
iniquities and delinquenees it dis
closes everywhere; about what ceun.
ty revenues are spent for, and
whether they are spent wisely or IN
wisely. effectively OF wastefully.
