MOVEMENTS OF AIRPLANE DIRECTED
AT LONG DISTANCE BY RADIO
TELEPHONY

Since the signing of the armistice, the military
secret has revealed that the aerial successes on
the western front during the closing weeks of the
war were due largely to the fact that radio tele-
phony had been developed, by means of which
the commander of squadron could stand on the
ground at point of observation and issue orders
to pilots.
The following Washington Dispatch which
appeared in the Chicago Tribune of December
20, is intensely interesting:
NAVAL aviators at the Anacostia station here
sat down to a Christmas dinner today in celebra-
ton of momentous test of radio telephony yes
terday, when the voice of an operator here was
distinctly heard by an aviator flying 100 miles
away.
above the whirr of his engine while en- route
to Hampton Roads, Ensign Palmer, pilot of a
naval airplane distinctly recognized the voice of
Lieutenant Commander G. D. Murray, who gave
him directions through radio telephone operated
by Ensign C. B. Mirick.
"This is the most momentous achievement in
radio telephony SO far recorded in experiments
which have been conducted here for several
months Hitherto it has not been possible in
local tests to reach flyer with the voice at dis
lance greater than two miles, unless the aviator
was in a quiescent state.
"In yesterdays long distance test Ensign
Palmer was proceeding at full speed, with his
motors laundering when he recognized the vocal
orders from Washington. Ensign Palmer not
only heard the voice with the most complete dis
tlnctions but was able as well to name the person
with whom he was talking.
1T is believed that the experiment of Yesterday
justifes the hope that radio telephony will soon
be SO developed and perfected that it will be
possible to reach flyer at any distance from his
base
when a regular transatlantic service is es-
tablished it is not at all impossible that the pilots
will be kept in constant touch with the shore"

UNITED STATES DISPLEASED OVER
ATTITUDE OF CARRANZA

The Mexican problem, which has lain dormant
for the past two or three years, is again looming
to the fore, according to press reports. Develop
ments it is claimed, convince public men that the
United States soon will find it necessary to deal
with the Carranza government
Arthur Sears Henning, writing in the Chicago
Tribune, from Washington says:
"Carranza is taking steps to con6scate foreign
oil properties, including the American holdings
valued at $200,000,O00 and the British invest
ments aggregating $100o0o,o0o. Disorder is
increasing in the Tampico oil district and antag
onism to America and Americans is being foster
ed by influences alleged to emanate from the
Carranza regin1t.
1T is expected that a deliberate con6scation of
the oil properties will precipitate trouble between
the United States and Mexico and there is much
speculation here as to whether PresdentWilson
would deal with Carranza directly and with force,
if necessary, or withhold action with view to
settlement of the dispute by means of such pro-
cesses of Cancellation as may be provided by a
league of nations"

BRITISH LABOR SEEKING SHORTER
HOURS

Reports from London show that labor union
throughout the United Kingdom are agitating
for 44-hour week. This would mean hours
day on five days of the week and hours on
Saturday.
The National Transport Workers Federation
has presented to all the municipal and privately
owned tramways a demand for 44-hour week at
the present weekly wage.
Representatives of the Federation of Engineer
ing and Shipbuilding Trades and representatives
of the employers recently held a meeting at
which it was decided that 4-hour week with
out any reduction in existing wages constituted
a reasonable settlement of the question.

NATIONWIDE PROHIBITION SEEMING
LY ASSURED

WILL PREc1P1TArE SERIOUS PROBLEM, SAYS
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
The United Press has gathered figures which
indicate that the nation is destined to become
permanently dry 1t is probable that the propos-
ed amendment to the federal constitution, making
the nation "bone dry will be ratified by suffi-
cient states to make it law within few weeks.
Virtually every state legislature will meet next
month, and nearly every one of these bodies
which will vote on the ratification of the federal
amendment is pledged to support it. Fifteen states
already have ratified the measure; thirty-three
have not voted on the question, but twenty two
of these are already dry; others, while wet, are
dry in parts.
Richard Spillane, writing in the Chicago Evem-
ing Post, says that government officials at Wash
ington have no doubt that nationwide prohibi-
ton will preciptate one of the gravest situations
this country ever has faced.
The South is officially dry, yet never has there
been so much moonshining in that section as
since prohibitory laws went into effect. The
government found whisky so plentiful in the army
camps of the South that it was forced to take
drastic action. Nearly five hundred illicit stills
have been destroyed by raiders within seven
months; hundreds of moonshiners have been sent
to prison other hundreds await trial Scores
Of men, among them Sheriffs and deputies, have
been killed many others have been wounded. In
fact, there has been war in miniature about
which little has been heard as it was overshadow-
ed by the stupendous events taking place in
Europe
The writer goes on to say that to discover
and destroy an illicit still in the mountains is sim
pie compared to finding it in the city. In the
mountains, the smoke of the still can be seen far
away, and the odor of liquor in, the atmosphere

says Porphyrics II, archbishop of Mount Sinai
members of the Greek Orthodox Church to sup
port the Zionist aim.
He sends this message to America:
we who belong to the Hellenic stock, SYM
pathize with the aspirations of the Jewish peo-
pie in regard to the settlement of Palestine
We think that claim could be more justified
than this. The Jews, as the bearers of modern
civilization, and as one of the most enlightened
people of the world, will instil into the poverty
stricken inhabitants a spirit of progress and
emulation"

PREMIER LLOYD GEORGE WINS IN
BRITISH ELECTIONS
Sim FE1NERs SWEEP THREE DIVISIONS OF
IRELAND

S1NN FE1NERs SWEEP THREE DIVISIONS OF
IRELAND
The recent British elections resulted in land
slide for Premier Lloyd George and the coalition.
Ex-Prenier Asquith and his former cabinet were
defeated
Complete returns for the new British parlia-
ment show the following results:
Coal't'n Unionists 334National party 49,. .
Coal't'n Lberals. .127Independents 1865. 5
Coal't'n Laborites ..1OSocia1ists .........
Unionists .... 46Sinn Feiners ...... .73
Asquith Liberals -. 37Irish Nationalist 49,. !.
Laborites .......... 65
All the fourteen women candidates were de-
feated with one exception-Countess Markievicz,
who ran on the Irish Sim Fem ticket, and is un-
der sentence to life Imprisonment for the part
she took in the Sim Fein rebellion of two years
ago.
Not less remarkable than the results of the
election in England is that shown by the Irish
elections in which the Sim Feiners scored a
sweeping victory over the Nationalist, carrying
Connaught, Leinster and Munster. Only Ulster,
in the North, was held by the Nationalists
The Sim Feiners, although elected, will not
take their seats, it is claimed but will forfeit the
$50 pounds sterling ($750) which they had to
post as an election fee and which is returnable
only when member takes his oath and his seat
Their immediate purpose, according to one of
their prominent leaders, is to convoke an Irish
Nationalist Assembly early in January. The
assembly would draft national constitution for
Ireland, which would be laid before conference
of all nations. Complete separation and re-
public wholly independent of Great Britain are
boldly claimed by some Of their leaders.
Their success is said to be due to the fact that
moderate settlement of the Irish question has
not materialized and the difficulties in the way of
home rule agreement still persists

DeSoto Cemetery
Dispute Settled

The DeSoto cemetery controversy
about which much interest centered
recently, has been amicably settled,
and with satisfaction to Mrs. Freel-
ing H. Scarborough, one of the liti-
giants, whose land, it was alleged,
was being encroached upon in enter
ing the town burying place, according
to an announcement authorized to-
day.
The controversy centered about the
right-of-way from the business Sec
tion of DeSoto to the cemetery, it be-
ing set up by some of the litigants
that public street had been i'm
properly closed by an adjoining land
owner, resulting in an encroachment
upon the Scarborough farm, which
was resented. The matter being fl
nally adjudicated, it now appears that
the street referred to affords ample
entry into the cemetery, and that it
will be used hereafter by those using
the cemetery either for burial pur-
poses, or visiting.
