Morris Beck, We Get His
Rings Back.
ensagemeots were announced
oh! such pretty ronances!

THE ensasemeots we're announced
oh! such pretty romances!
Morris was to marry Rose.
And Morris's brother, Alec, was to marry
Roses sister, Adele. These two promising
young Beck boys Of Longfellow avenue, in
upper New York, we're to be the happy
husbands of the two Teichner sisters of
West One Hundred and Seventeenth
street The Beck family wore connected
with chain Of shoe stores and the inan.
cial prospects OF ali were very bright
In Jewish society 1t Is the betrothai
party that really marks the official and
ceremonial ensagement-it was in May
two years ago that the betrothal party
was held; happy Morris Beck walked arm
and arm with happy Rose Teichner and
Alexander Beck and Adele Teichner
beamed with happiness as they accepted
the good wishes OF their guests. At that
merry party there was no cloud on the
horizon TO cast q shadow on what seemed
matrimonial voyages.
And the engagement rings! All, they
we're the joy and pride Of all concerned.
Rose and Adele each felt sure that hers
was the purest, whitest diamond-typical,
they said, Of the noble, high-minded men
they were to marry. In the generous
enthusiasm of their romance the boys
followed the engagement rings by a gift
Of dinner ring" each to his sweetheart.
And much was the discussion as to what
these rings cost.
And yet prophet with the gift Of seeing
into the future would have known that
these happy romances were never to be
fulfilled. For one reason and another
things did not go well. Closer acquaint-
ance between the Beck brothers and the
Teichner sisters did not deepen the love
and confidence which should have grown
stronger between them. They we're
friends, yes. The engagements were still
on. Oh, yes. But as the weeks went by
disputes and differences arose. And thus
things drifted until one hot August after
noon in 1917, only three months after that
happy betrothal party, Morris Beck, the
elder brother, invited his fiancee, Rose, to
go down to Brighton Beach and have dip
in the cool waves at Coney Island.
1t was a nice thing for Morris to sug.
gest, Rose thought. Perhaps the boy was
not so bad a chap to be engaged to, after
all. or course, lovers spats were to be
expected, and, maybe, Rose herself was a

was a sizzling hot day and it was mighty
nice of Morris to suggest that trip to Coney
Island. Rose reasoned merrily.
So down to the beach they went. My,
but it was hot. And how inviting the cool
rollers looked as they lazily washed the
glistening sands. Morris went to the
bathing pavilion and paid for the rent of
one bathing suit.
why, Morris, aren't you going in?" she
asked.
NO, Rose. have headache, but don't
let that stop you from going in," he said
casually.
The Washington times., 1919-12-28

where Mrs. Teichner and her daughter
Adele had cottage for the Summer Alec
came up the steps wiping the perspiration
from his brow and tanning his face with
his straw hat:
MRS. Teichner," he said, 81 have decided
to have Adele's engagement ring and the
dinner ring reset in prettier setting
If you will please let me have them"
And what was it that moved Mamma
Teichner to cautiously say:
''well, Alec, that will be very nice, but
all the same l couldn't let you have Adele's
rings without she said so, you under
stands"
At that very moment, few miles away
on the sands of Brighton Beach, brother
Morris was enacting the tragedy OF the
bath house and -sister-Rose's-rings. Did
Mamma Teichner vaguely realize what was
going on through some sense which
science has not yet identified?
mo, Alec, you'll have to see Adeie-she
is in bathing down the beach,
So Alec went along the sands Of old
Rockaway and soon found his pretty
fiancee and made known his errand. What
instinct made her decline to entrust her
rings to Alec?
Thus the two romances of the Spring
were shattered before the Summer was
over. Morris had succeeded in getting
possession of the rings he had bestowed
upon his sweetheart. Alec had failed to
get back the rings he had given Adele.
But while this was the end of the
romances, was it the end of the struggle
for the rings? By no means.

And How 1t Happens That Sist
Rosie Lost Her Rings While
Sister Adele Manages to
Hold Onto Hers

So Rose disappeared into the
bathing house and soon came
out with her pretty figure en-
closed in a bathing suit. As she
started down the .beach Morris
said:
"Wait a minute, Rose; you
should not risk losing those
nice rings. They should be put
in the bath house safe while
you are in the water"
The wisdom and prudence Of
this. advice from the man she
was to marry seemed sound.
Rose stripped off the rings,
handed them to Morris and
plunged merrily into the cool
surf.
And that was the last Rose
ever saw or the rings.
At her leisure the dripping girl
came smiling out OF the surf
and looked about for Morris.
But he was gone. Not that day,
nor the next day, nor any day
did Morris come to see her
again. The engagement was off;
and Morris had the rings,
But how about Brother Alec
and sister Adele?
Well, it's a very curious CO.

Associated Press dispatch from
Washington giving the substance
of the open telegram addressed to
him by the operators, criticising

Adoo had not received the tele-
gram itself.
''The question is whether or not
the operators are making excess

Their income and tax returns
filed under oath will give an un-
derstanding of the truth and the
facts. If they are making excess
sive profits, as they were clearly
making in 1917, then an increase
of wages that may be made to the
miners should not be passed on to
the public in the form of increased
prices for coal. A showdown will

MARCH SAYS ARMY
Of HALF MILLION
MEN IS REQUIRED

tsY NoRNlNa JOURNAL sFEcIAL LEASED wtaEl
|. Washington, Nov. 25.-The opin-
ion Of the army general staff and the
administration is that a peace time
army of 5000 men is the minimum
necessary to care for the national in
terest, General March. chief of staff,
has declared, correcting an interpre-
tation of his annual report, published
Sunday, which placed the minimum
at 250,000. General March empha-
sized that he never had changed his
estimate of 500, 000 as the smallest
upon which to rest the military power
of the United States.
In his report General March rec
commended one field army of five
corps skcletonized to 50 per cent of
its strength. Taking four divisions of
1000 men to a corps, such a calcu-
lations would show about 526, 900
men, which skeletonized to SO per
cent Of strength would make 260, 900
men.
General March. however made it
plain that he was basing his estimate
on the army corps as a practical unit
completely organized with all its ele-
ments for service. Five corps on that
basis would mean an army in excess
Of 1000, 900 men, which skeletonized
to so per cent of strength would make
the army Of 100000, which the chief
of staff recommended.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-After several
hours of heated debate the labor party
of the United States today refrained
from taking a positive stand on the
prohibition question but as a compro-
mise measure adopted a resolution
providing for the appointment of a
special committee of three to investi-
stitutional amendment law and re-
port at the next national convention
of the party.
The delegates appeared to be about
evenly divided on the prohibition
question. representatives of trades
unions from cities wanted the con-
vention to go on record against the
dry law while the party leaders and
delegates from farmers and coop
erative organizations were anxious to
have the body make no declaration on
the question.
The committee on resolutions sub
mitted a report stating that because
of the difference of opinion it was
deemed best to make no direct dec
laration on prohibition but to ask
congress to submit it to a referendum
vote of the people.
TOilers Want Their Beer.
Rev. Ellis Carr of Chicago, who
led the dry forces. moved that the
committees recommendation be ta-
bled after he had expressed the opin-
ion that if prohibition had caused the
revolution in Russia, it might bring
about similar result in this country.
Joseph Broestle of Cincinnati, repre-
senting the International Brewery
Workers, pleaded with the convention
to adopt a resolution condemning
prohibition.
"This is no Sunday school conven-
ton, it is a gathering of working
men," he said. THE toilers want to
drink glass of beer when their day' S
work is over and they should be per-
mitted to do it,

the effect of prohibition and report
to the next national convention.
A number of wet delegates with
drew from the convention because
they interpreted the action taken as
victory for the drys.
The convention approved the
Plumb plan for government owner
ship of railroads and the cooperative
movement to reduce the high cost of
living.
Delegate Nicholas Klein of Cincin-
natl threw the convention into an up
roar by insisting that a resolution be
adopted calling for the United States
government to recognize the soviet
government of Russia. Delegates
from Iowa, Kansas and other western
states vigorously opposed the reso-
luton.
Let us solve our own problems be-
fore we take up the troubles of Eu-

Chairman Hayes restored order by
declaring the resolution out of order.

Lee Denies Rumors.

Reports that national leaders of the
four railway brotherhoods in session
at Cleveland were holding secret dis
cus.ions as to whether a strike of rail-
way workers in the United States
should be called by December / and
which gained wide circulation and
considerable credence in Chicago rail-
way union circles were denied tonight
by w. G. Lee, president of the Broth
erhOod of Railway Trainmen, and by
Timothy Shea, acting president of the
brotherhood of Firemen and Engine
men. Mr.. Lee, however, admitted hav-
ing received a telegram from the Kan
sas City local saying that the trainmen
and yardmen there had decided to
strike tomorrow and that he had
warned them that if they thought
they were bigger than the United
States government" he had no ad-
vice to give them"
knowledge Of the Kansas City situa-
ton and of similar pressure from 9TH

nation obtained here tonight was that
the local trainmen's union had decided
to await the action of the Cleveland
convention before striking. 1t was IN
timated that in the event a national
railway strike is called the walkout
would begin in Kansas City and
spread to other railway centers.
Fear Injunction Proceedings.
In some quarters it was stated to-
night that the real reason why the
national officials now in Cleveland hes
itate to make an announcement of the
strike or to be placed in the position
of directing the proposed strike call
Is their fear Of strike injunctions, and
that it Is their purpose to await the
crisis which Is expected from the ac-
ton of the rank and file of railway
union men.
Union officials here tonight were
emphatic in their assertions that there
was no strike pending and that mat
ters in dispute between the railway
men and the roads had been satsiac-
torily adjusted by the Cleveland con-
ference.
Railroad officials also said they had
received no word that a strike might
be called.
There Is nothing | know of that
would lead me to expect a strike in the
immediate future" said w. NJ. Corbett,
general manager of the Kansas City
Terminal company.
"Of course, the entire situation de-
pends upon the action taken at Cleve-
land. There are always a few hot
heads to cry 'strike,' but can say that
tonight local railroad officials have

cate conditions are any more serious
than theV have been"

Main Dcmand Of Mon.

The main demand of the railway
men, as reported by union men here,
is that of a general increase, inde-
pendent of all overtime questions, in
the rate of pay for firemen, engine
men and trainmen. 1t was said that
a quick strike would be justifiable be-
cause the situation produced by the
mounting cost OF living and the
length of time during which the rail-
way mems demands had been before
the railroad administration made un-
necessary the enforcement of the thir-
ty-day notice rule which normally
would precede a strike.
Union officials who discussed the
situation here tonight insisted that
their names be withheld from publi-
cation in connection with the infor-
nation they gave. Fear of a possible
restraining order directed at themm in
event CT strike was said to be the
reason, and in that connection it was
stated by the same officials that the
higher officials of the organization
most probably wouls deny positive
knowledge of the situation
II was said that the secret con-
ference would continue in Cleveland
tomorrow; but there was every assur-
ance that nothing of concrete ma
