CONGRESS OBJECTS
TO SECRET SESSIONS

Washington, Jan. 16.-Liberals in
congress, the press and other por-
tions of the public opposed to secret
diplomacy" were wrathy today over
the muffling of Paris Peace confer
ence news.
That the United States was part
ner in the silence pact, after declar-
ing for open peace covenants openly
made, caused a rumpus.
Many newspaper men here had
realized that there would be an effort
to "can" the peace news in a daily
communique which would shed very
little light But, that the conferees
would vote for secrecy and bind all
to the pledge, making no excuses for
such a course, came as a shock.
One correspondent long in diplo-
matte new SCATTERING remarked be-
fore leaving here that there would
be lid on the news, adding 1T will
be a case of pursuing lot of peo-
pie who won't talk or who ought
not to-"
Congress, it is expected, will voice
its opinion of the secret diplomacy
and censorship. 1t has long been
suspicious as to the latter and it will
probably now renew it's attacks on
the committee on public information,
probably injecting also some attacks
on the president for permitting this
curtailment of news wherewith to
guide public opinion.
Those critical of the muffler plan
declared that this marks return to
the systems of other days-systems
productive of intrigue and discord.

GOVERNMENT WIRELESS.

The Government has erected wire
less plants at various points along
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and
at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and Cavits,
in the Philippines. The Government
shore stations, according to the re-
ports Of the Bureau of Navigation,
numbered 1876 on June 80, 1918, of
which SO were in continental United
States, 20 in Alaska, 10 in the Phil
ippine Islands, 3 in the Canal Zone,
2 in Hawaii, and l each in Porto Rico,
Guam and Same. The Government
ship stations totaled 47O.
The station at Arlington, Va, has
been in regular communication with
the station at Chollas Heights, near
San Diego, California, since May 1,
1917. Direct communication with an
Italian Government station in Rome
was also established. On September
20, 1917, radio communication was
established between Arlington and
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, via Sayville,
N. Y. Messages are now transmit
ted between Arlington and the Philip
pines through San Diego, Calf, and
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Under favor
able conditions, at night, the Arling-
ton station can communicate direct
ly with the Pearl Harbor station, but
the usual practice is to relay through
San Diego.

STARVATION
IN. RICHEST OIL
FIELDS 0FW0RLD
Wells Of Buzeu, Rumanian, in
Ruins and People Destitute.

Buzeu, Rumania, June 23,-(By
Mail.)-Herh in the midst of n Of
the worlds Richest oil fields, people
have been actually starving.
Before the war this part of Ruma-
MIA produced big fortunes in oil, be-
ing one of the greatest sources of Eu-
ropean supply. Today its wells are
in ruins and the people destitute. The
invading armies requisitioned every
thing that . could be pried loose and
transported, paralyzing one of the
wealthiest industries in the Balkans.
Workers for the American Red
Cross, which is distributing relief in
the form of foods and medicines thru
out the country, have found people
eating bread made of leaves, twigs
and bark from trees. People were
ba:@1e1og the coats off their backs
for. small portions of corn and course
bran. In n place the relief work
ers found a small local hospital in
which the patients slept on boards
with no mattress and little covering.
At one home they found five father.
less children, the oldest only nine
years of age; cooking a meal of tree
bark and bran, while the mother was
out at work in the fields.
"Typhus is prevalent and there is
an increasing amount of smallpox
says n American woman's report
There is no doctor nor medicines il
this village and absolutely no way o.
taking care of the sick. In another
village which I visited the entire po,
pulation Of 500 per sons was ill witt
some obscure form of contagious di
sease."

THE DEVILS LAKE WORLD AND NTER-OCEAN

hority of an executive order issued
April 6, 1917, for which reason the
figures for 1917 give little indication
of the increase in commercial wire
less telegraph operations during re-
ent years. The systems reported for
1917 numbered 3, as compared with
4 in 1912 and 5 in 1907; and the num-
Der Of tower stations was GO, as COM
pared with IA in 1912 and III in
1907. The number of messages han
died prior to April 6 was 1924.
No exact record of the number trans
mitted during the period of Govern
ment operation is available, but it is
roughly estimated that 100000 mes
sages were handled between April 6
and December 81, 1917. This nu:.Hc-
would make a total of more than 45O,-
900, representing an increase of ap-
proximately SO per cent as compared
with 1912 and of 191 per cent over
1907.
The total income and the net in
come increased greatly. The former
aggregated $1,385,060 in 1917, repre-
senting a gain of 107 per cent over
1912 and Of 1897 per cent over 1907;
and the later amounted to $609,526,
as compared with a net income of
$4,738 in 1912 and a net deficit of
$53,538 in 1907. The employees num-
bered $50, a decrease of 1873 per cent
from the corresponding number in
1912 but an increase of 1913 per cent
over the number for 1907; and their
salaries and wages aggregated $461,-
.402, an increase of 17.2 per cent over
1912 and of 464.3 per cent over 1907.
In addition to the commercial shore
stations, there were in operation dur
ing the early part of the year 6,0s9
general and restricted amateur sta
lions, SO special amateur stations, IS
experimental stations, and AZ train
ing schools.

Irony of Fate on
Baseball Diamond

The irony of fate in baseball is al
most sickening at times, according to
the members of the Brooklyn National
league team. A short time ago the
Dodgers let veteran Larry Cheney go.
to the Braves via the waiver route
Boston needed a hurler and Manager
Robinson Of the Dodgers figured Che
ney to be about through. 1t was a
good price for a veteran. .
Cheney vas badly needed in Boston
and on Saturday July 5th, he was
trotted to the mound to oppose his
former team mates. Not a man of the
Brooklyn team was particular about
beating Larry, for the former Cub
hurler is a "good fellow" and was a
favorite with his co-workers.
Ivan Olson, of the Dodgers was the
first to face Cheney. The first ball
Cheney pitched to Ivan, the speedy
Swede bumped it for a triple deep
center. The next three Brooklyn
sluggers bingled safely, then Boston
wobbled and two more hitters were
safe on foozles. Then two more bing-
les were registered and Cheney was
derricked.
1t was a great inning for the Dodg-
ers, but strange to relate there was
none Of the joy on the Brooklyn bench
that would ordinarily manifest itself
as the result of such smuggling. The
Dodgers seemed to actually mourn
Cheney's inability to hold his former
mates in check, and when Larry went
to- the Boston bench, several of the
Dodgers went over to give him a wore
of encouragement.
As well as being a testimonial to
the honesty Of baseball, it also shows
that some fast friends are made in
the realm Of players. Cheney was
always n Of the Brooklyn crowd anc
his former associates really grievec
when his ability proved so ineffective
against them. Olson and Cheney were
bunk-mates on the road when Larry
was a Dodger. And Olson felt par.
ticularly sad that he was the one tt
start the bombardment with a leng
thy triple.

Senator King, Democratic
Leader, Severe In His Resolu-
ton.
Especial Correspondence

\oHCC1t@A SOA 4SopO1AuOAANCJ
Washington, July .22.-What a.
mounts to a severe indictment of the
administration policy with respect to
Mexico is contained in a Senate reso-
luton offered by Senator King, one
OF the Democratic leaders.
The resolution sets worth that
"American citizens residing in and
having property in the Republic of
Mexico, have suffered damages am
ounting to several hundred million
dollars by reason Of the unlawful des-
truction and larency Of property, and
in addition thereto have been subject
ed to gross personal outrages and IN
hundreds of cases have suffered murd-
er and assassination; and no progress
has apparently been made toward the
liquidation, settlement, and payment
of claims against the Mexican govern
ment on account Of whose delinquen-
cies such damages and outragcs have
been suffered"
Provides Investigation
The resolution then provides for a
sweeping investigation by the Foreign
Relations Committee into the damages
and outrages suffered by American
citizens in Mexico, the facts concern
ing the murders Of Americans, the
property losses through destruction.
con%fiscation and larceny and other
matters having relation to the wrongs
which in recent years have been Wis
tied upon United States citizens on
the Mexican side of the border.
Feeling of Resentment
The resolution of Senator King re-
fleets not only a widespread feeling
in Congress of resentment over the
innumerable outrages committed ag'
ainst American in Mexico but also :
belief equally widespread that the
State Department has been singurarl!
remiss and inert in seeking to Obtain
indemnities or satisfaction of ade
quate sort for what ha sheen done.
