FEARED
CODE BETRAYED TO S.
ENEMY BY AMERICA

! Berlin, Noy. s.-Dr Alfred Zim.
mermann, secretary for foreign at:
fairs during the war, caused a mild
sensation during today's session Of
the national assembly committee in;
estigating the SWar, when he admitted
the German authorities had been sus.
|picious that their code which had been
made known to The American authori-
ties, was betrayed to the enteate by
the United States government.
(The reference islto the special
code which the American govern
ment permitted to be used in wire,
ess communication with the Washing
ton embassy, copy, Of which was
furnished to the state department.)
Count Bernstorff, when asked re-
'garding these. suspicious, said at
first he could not swear these wire:
less messages had not been com
municated by the United States gov
ernment to the entente. but later de.
clared under cath he had ]. never
known of such treachery.,- 81.
He said Germany, had difficult
and dangerous: cable route through
neutral countries, but that messages
had been concealed as commercial
dispatches.
The submarine warfare came into
the investigation again today.
Vice Admiral Edward Won Capelle,
one of the advocates .of the subma-
rine campaign, said the U-boats had
not been able to get at American
transports because each submarine
covered a limited circle around Eng
land and the whole ocean could not
be patrolled. Various British and
American inventions, like the 'slisten-
ing boat" Admiral Won Capelle de-
clared, were other things which pre-
vented attacks on transports. :.

The Southern Paving; Construction
Company, in charge of the paving
work here, is handicapped By the
lack Of labofers and wants at least
two hundred more; #orkmen, towhom
will be paid liberal wages. Material
is also scarce and shipping facilities
are NOT OF the best. These two fac

extent On the other hand. the work
being done is the very best. n fact,
the men lin charge here say that the
paving on the Square is the best
piece of work Of its kind in the State,
and for that matter in the South.
q The work Of grading North Main
street is progressing as rapidly as
the lack Of sufficient force will per-
nit. The streets to the two depots

Washington, NOV. 9.--.A4Approach VI
the end Of the special session, OF Con;
gress found leaders still uncertain to:
night regarding the future with
events dependent upon the disposition
Of the German peace treaty.
With members restive and insistent
on 4 brief rest before the regular De.
cennber session begins three weeks
from tomorrow, pressure for final &C.
ton by the Senate on the treaty has
: increased. Some leaders believe the
fnaI vote on the treaty and adjourn
ment may be reached next Saturday
November 15, others are predicting
adjournment about November % and
others less optimistic have visions OF
the lapsing of, the special into the
regular session.
Struggle with treaty reservations
win be renewed in the Senate tomor-
row, with the sharpest contest on the
reservation relating to article ten OF
the league Of nations covenant. The
usual weekend Sunday conferences
by both factions apparently developed
little change in programs of proce,
dure except an almost universal de-
sire to hasten the final vote. In this
connection, Republican leaders were
reported prepared to propose a plan
to curtail protracted discussion with
assurances Of Democratic cooperation
& Great Battle Expected. -
An unprecedented parliamentary
battle over the effect of votes on re-
solutions of ratification is expected to
follow disposition of reservations.
Vice President Marshall is understood
to be ready to rule that two-thirds'
majority must be had either'to adopt
or reject the treaty and that a bare
majority can send it back to the for
eign relations committee or the Presi-
dent. On this ruling and its approx
81 or rejection, in the opinion Of
many, depends the final result.
While the Senate is struggling in
the last throws Of the treaty fight
the House plans to pass the railroad
bill which is to be reported formally
tomorrow by the interstate commerce
committee, taken up for considera.
ton Tuesday and passed late this
week. II possible the railroad meas.
ure will come before the Senate dur.
ing the present session, but it is gen.
orally conceded that the permanent
legislation must 60 over until. next
session.

Washington, Noy. 8 Holding the
action Of the government insinjuncJ
ton proceedings against striking BIZ
luminous coal miners to be $50 auto
cratic as to ;stagger the human mind, q
the executive council OF tie Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor declared to-
might in q statement issued after q
four hour meeting that the miners
palkout was justified promised for
the strike the entire support Of f2or-i
|ganized labor and asked aid and in:
dorsement forsit from the general
public. .ll5
g The Lever act, under which the
government acted in the court pro
|ceedings, never was enacted to apply
to workers; the co1ncii asserted, and
its use against the miners was classed
as IAN injustice not only to- workers,
but to all liberty loving Americans Il
The action was taken without any
participation Of William Green, gen-S
|eral secretary Of the mine workers,
who d member, but all the remain
ing principal officers Of the American
Federation Of Labor were present. 3
The council began its sessions at,
4:so o'clock after its members had
been hastily summoned together and 4
the statement which formulated its
action was carefully revised and re-,
written, by Samuel Gompers and
Frank Morrison, president and secre- ls
tary, respectively, Of the federation.
Statement Of Council. a.
The council in its, statement pre-
sented at length the history Of the
negotiations which led up tol and pre-
cipitated the strike, declaring almost
in the sentence, that the Officers
Of the United Mine Workers did ev-
erything in their power to avert this
great industrial struggle It reserved
its bitterest words for later comment
on governmental action thereafter.
: There were 1900 delegates, reprel
senting 100000 miners, seated in the
convention which called the strike,
the statement said, after briefly
sketching in complaints ! Of working
conditions in the industry, which it is
asserted, the miners seek to remedy
by striking. The instructions Of the
convention were taken through tbs
usual committees into conference
with operators, and then, the state
ment puts it, "our government inter
jeeted itself and applied for an in,
junction" @
The statement characterized the
action as. "ipvasion Of the rights Of
miners" intended to starye the min
ers into submission by cutting off
their strike benefits, and demanded
the withdrawal Of the injunction BE-
cured Saturday at Indianapolis ITO
restore confidence in the institutions
of our, country and respect to courts

Washington, Nov. Federal
Judge Anderson's order to the Off:
GERS of the miners union to withdraw
their strike order was received by ma
tional labor leaders here apparently
with surprise. They had believed the
strike could be withdrawn from the
court and settled outside.
The courts ruling, however, was
accepted without comment, and in
the belief that the strikers would be
at work not later than next Thurs
day. The statement by officers Of the
United Mine Workers that they had
no desire to fight the government was
accepted generally as the feeling and
attitude Of the men. : l.

How Not to Take Vacation.

Mere abstinence from work does not
constitute a real vacation. A vacation
has the idea of benefit in it. Some
times it develops into a,loafing match
that is more harmful than good.
That's the way 1t goes with Peter
Jones. Pete win vacate at home.
That is, he will vacate his bed when
he gets tired lying In it. He will also
yacate all jobs and responsibility untFl
necessity drives him back TO a job.
The front porch viii be his lounglng
place until the sun drives him else
where. The rest of the day will find
him on the shady side of anything that
isn't too hard to reach. He'll go back
to his job, lazy-Iimbed. stomaeh-stalled.
and braiu-fagged, less fit for work than
when he took to vacating. There's
sense and nonsense IN ft.-Pennsyl-
vania Grit.

low science AIds Warfare.

Wireless telegraphy and wireless
telephony, now commonplace, suggest
the possibility of transmitting energy
by wireless waves. A Roumanian en-
gineer, NJ. Constantinesco, has been
experimenting in England with a
method that seems novel.
Nature says. he uses a tube filled
with water or some such liquid. in
which vibrations of the nature of
sound waves are produced at one end
and the energy is reconstructed at
the other end in a mechanical form.
The details of the apparatus are kept
secret, but Constantinesco's researches
have been financed by the British gov
eminent and 1t has already been APP
piled in mechanism that stops the
discharge of bullets from the rapid
firing gun of an airplane each time
that the blade of the propeller passes
before the muzzle. This is what makes
1t easy to fire 1000 shots a minute
through a propeller making between
1000 and 1000 revolutions a minute.

Statistics Are Unsafe Guide
to Conclusions

Statistics. though often interesting.
are sometimes most misleading and
futile. For example. 1t is interesting
to know from the census bureau the
number of prison commitments among
the foreign-born population of the
United States, but it would be most
unsafe to base any congratulations
upon them, for the number of commit
ments to prison is no indication of
the number of crimes committed, and
there are many more criminals at large
than behind the bars.
Those in prison were not clever
enough to escape They got caught.
Those at large were able to commit
their crimes and elude detection.
British statistics show that in only
10 per cent of the indictable offenses
that are committed is the perpetrator
convicted.
The figures for America are probably
not very different. Therefore So per
cent of the criminals are ct large. 1t
is fair to assume that this IS per
cent is more intelligent than the IS
per cent that got caught. Therefore
the Is per cent for which the statis-
tics are given is a highly selected
group, and any conclusions based upon
such statistics are untrustworthy, as
applied to criminals in general, how
ever valuable they may be as TO TIE
comparatively small number that are
in Jail.

CALL INSANITY FIXED ERROR
How Physicians Determine Absence Of
Normal Mentality Revealed as
Simple Matter.

The sole difference between a sane
and an insane man is that the former
retains the power OF adapting himself
to his circumstances, while the latter
has lost it.
This is the definition of an English
authority who says that as long as
a man is able to alter his actions to
suit any change in himself or his en-
yironment, so long is he mentally nor
NAL A man can effect such altera-
ton either by changing his circum-
stances, or by changing his own
actions
The mailman fails to make the
proper adjustments and he does not
recognize such failure as an error, but
persists in it. Thus, insanity might
be defined as permanent error.
Here lies the boundary between
mistake and madness:
If a mans circumstances change in
such a manner as to affect his well
fare. this writer goes on to explain.
he will, as long as he is sane, alter his
action so as to adapt himself to the
change.
If the weather becomes cold, he VIII
light fire, or put on more clothing, or
both; and vice versa If the weather
turns hot. If his income increases or
diminishes, he will increase or dimin-
ish his expenditures accordingly. If
new law that affects him is passed,
ne win alter his conduct so as to con-
form to it. AS his children arrive at
an educable age, he will take measures
for their education.
Normal action is such as to adjust
the relation between the self and the
circumstances, either by altering the
circumstances, as when we put on
more clothes in cold weather; or by
altering ourselves, as when we learn
new language on going to a new
country; or by altering our action, as
when we stop at home and go to bed
instead of going to business when we
find ourselves suffering from fever.
