LOST REPUTATION

Il Dickens tells in his Childs History OF England,
that England lost North America by perslsting

it is honuraby remarkable for protecting It's subjects

What would Dickens say today could he but contem-
plate the shameful history Of relations with Mexico

Germany resulting thereby in the unnecessary desruc-

FOOL BROKERS
 ON OIL STOCK
Texas Promoters Catch Even Wall Street Men on
 Fake Issues.

New York. May 30 - Investment brokers themselves, as well the innocent public, have been losing big sums of money through oil stocks, according to Assistant District Attor- ney Dooling. one of the heads of the District Attorneys Commercial Frauds Bureau, who said yesterday he had received a complaint of s1o0,000 loss through a Texas oil proposition.
 These investment brokers" said MT. Dooling. told me they had been to Texas recently to. purchase small oil company. They said they found upon investigation on the ground that the property really was producing oil and put down s1oo,oo0 in cash and set date for the next payment
 Their intention was to buy out the company and to advertise and sell the stock in this city. After making the cash payment they discovered that the company they bought the prop erty from had already sold it to another buyer who seemed to have a. valid claim. They then had the heab0 of the company indicted, but the case was postponed and has not yet been tr:ei.''
 Mir Dooling said his reports from Texas show that when oil land is taken on G lease, the original lease-i holder divides the property into sec tions and retains portions of it for himself He then drills on the part of property he still houds and sucks'' the oil from the lard leased by in vestors.
 He asserted also that he had found an adv ertisemept stating. that the Tsa nger- -Burkburnett oil fields pro duce 100, COG barrels of oil daily. which is about nine times more than the daily production Of the entire United States.

GIVE TREATY TO AUSTRIA MONDAY
That Fully Completed Translating German
 Reply.
(Rv the Associated Pressl

Austria's peace delegation will not receive the terms of peace from the allied representatives until Monday. After the plenary session of the peace conference, held yesterday afternoon. it was announced that several of the smaller powers directly interested in the treaty to be presented to Austria had asked for AS hours in which to study the pact This makes it neces- sary for the conference to hold an- other pIenary session Saturday
 The Austrian delegation has been informed that the presentation of the treaty will not occur until Monday and has acquiesced in the decision of the conference. There is no sug- gestion of disagreement in the con- ference over the terms, but M. Bra tiano of Rumania, pointed out that Poland, Serbia, Rumania and other small nations desired a short time for consideration.
 The treaty is not yet fully com pleted, the clauses involving military terms. separations and some phases of the frontier settlements being omitted from the draft submitted at the plenary session.
 Experts are busy in translating the German counter proposals submitted yesterday by the enemy. delegation. Nothing specific regarding the con- tents of the German reply other than received on Wednesday from Berlin through London has been made pulp lie. It is probable, according to des- patches that the French and English translations of the reply will not be ready for the consideration Of the Council of Four before Saturday.

HEIR ID VAST RICHES IN WANT
Prof. Enc Has S2,00O,000 But Needs Ready Cash,
 He Says.

New York, May SO-Here is the story of an heir to millions who con- fesses himself without means of sup port: ..5s2 s5s.
 Prof. Henry Lane Enc, of Prince ton, applied to the Surrogate yester- day for S50,OO0 to educate his two children. He is a nephew of Amos F. Emo, who left $1O.O 100000, of which under the latest court decision S2, 900, 900 would go to the Princeton professor. and s1,25O,0O0 to each of the children.
 But Amos F. Enc left two wills and whilel litigation is pending to de- termine the valid testament the pro- lessor and his family are compara- lively penniless. The second will, ex- ecuted in 1915, left Professor Emo s5O,0OO and gave the children, Amos and Alice, agen 10 and 16. s75O,Oo0 each
 Professor Enc contested this on the ground that his uncle was incompe- tent. A jury before Surrogate Co., halau sustained the contest. The other will, dated in 1914, divided the $4,500,000 between the professor and his children. An appeal from the verdict of the Surrogate's Court pre- vented the probate of the earlier will and the case is still pending in the Appellate Division.
 The estate is now in the hands of Lucius P. Beers and William F. Emo as temporary administrators. Pro- lessor Emo stated that he received no salary from Princeton, and, as he must receive at least S50,0OO no mat ter which will be sustained, he Is war ranted in requesting the allowance.
 The children are in a critical period of life, he said, and should have tui- ton and trave. He move from New York to Princeton, he explained, be- cause living was cheaper there He is an obligor on notes of S1,OOO,OOO to the Fifth Avenue Building Go. To satisfy the claim heturned in resi- dences at Bar Harbor, Westport, 6Oth and 61st streets and a valuable li- brary Professor Enc said he had received property from his father, but added that reverses had reduced his income a third.

SOLDIERS FAVOR
 RELIGIOUS FILM

Indicating, perhaps. the trend of mind of our soldiers abroad, the state ment IS made that the motion picture most in demand now in Pershing' s Army of Occupation is Life of Christ shown in eleven reels.
 Walter A. Morton, of Edgewater, N. J.. formerly a film-play director, but recently in charge of Knights of Columbus Cinema Department abroad. returned recently, and made the above report to K. of c. Headquarters.
 The Life of Christ" or the Pas sion Play in film appeals nightly to the American doughboy, Mir. Nor ton said, and is responsible for floodtide of religious sentiment that appears to be dominating our troops at this moment.
 Under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus, this picture was first shown at Coblenz. It made re- markable impression upon the sol diers and the news regarding it's ex- hibition spread rapidly through the Army of Occupation. Requests from everey camp in the district occupied by Americans poured into headqUar- ters asking for the film.
 '"The impressive story, so graphi- cally told in film appeals as no oth- CT picture shown our fighters. They take to heart the lesson taught by the marvellous story and that accom- plishes great good, there can be no doubt.
 The American soldier typifies the best there is in man-that's why the film Life of Christ appeals so strongly to him.

FOR BEING A CIVILIAN
 IN WARTIME"

Later on the story of these strange ornaments was divulged. When the Austrian soldiers began to stream back into their home villages after the signing of the Armistice a great many carried countless decorations on their uniforms, honors which in many instances were doubtless be- slowed with the idea of inspiring an army fighting in a lost cause.
 As soon as these Austrian troops reached the mining districts the workmen. who had stayed away from the trenches in order to keep the mines of the country going, became very disgruntled. Here, they are re- ported to have said, we have stayed at home and served our country jus. as much as the soldiers have and yet the government does not recognize our sacrifices.
 And so the tactfuI Austrian officials hit upon the brilliant idea of casting a special medal for those who had been civilians during the war And why not?

There are two theories of the way the Germans should be dealt with. One is that they should be approach ed in a. counciliatory spirit, with the desire to heal the woIcnds of war.
 This assumes that the Germans were So lied to that they actually believed they were fighting to defend themselves from attack. So it would forget the past, and trust that now they are freed of their wicked autoc- racy they would never again take up arms to invade another country.
 If a soft peace were made with them, the Germans for the time be- ing would work more in harmony with the rest of the world. They have had all the fighting they want for while. The chances that they would make war within 10 or 20 years are not great.
 The trouble with that theory Is that it so ignores the handing out of jus tice. With the most diabolical skill. the Germans ruined Belgium and the richest mining and manufacturing district of France. In the most care ful and methodicaI manner. they proceeded to so destroy all industries that those great producing commun- ities will be almost helpless for five or ten years. Meanwhile the Ger man productive equipment is un- touched. As quick as the people get tired of loafing. their industries will be running as efficiently as ever, with a tremendous advantage over stricken France and Belgium.
 No, a stable peace can't be built by a relaxation of justice. A constant stream of German gold, coal, and all products must flow into France and Belgium for years, before outrages can be atoned for, and the victims recover their balance. It may be un- cou1fortabae to ssits,on the -German's heads for years, but it will be safer.

 You cannot change a carpet or a chair without a permit, because there is no such thing in Bolshevism as pri- vate-property.
