UNCLE JOE CANNON

Washington, June A. (Speclap. Though Uncle" Joe Cannon was born Tn the south, he doesn't like the south That is due to the fact that many people or the south inherit Bourbon instincts ana customers and manners. Nevertheiess' "JJncle" Joe, in certain respects, IS south ern all over. His stomach sometimes breaks away from the influence of his mind.
 For instance, "Uncle" Joe was caught in a cheap. Italian restaurant, near the capitol today, eating watermelon. lie was "going after it'' in typical negro fashion-holding the slice in his two hands and gouging the meat out wlth his teeth and lips It was an interest ing spectacle. For "Uncle' Joe with ms SO-odd years was cooked up at an angie of 45 degrees-and clutched, despite the melon. bis cigar between two ringers.

HUDDLESTON CLAIMS
 GOVERNMENT IS LOOTED

Washington, June 14.-(SpeciaL) Representative Huddleston of the Ninth Alabama, delivered an impassioned ap- peal against the manner in which the government was disposing of it's sur plus war provisions. This was during the debate on the army appropriation bill. It was his point that the govern ment was receiving less than a fair price for its surplus stock
 He was subjected to countless inter- ruptions, and the continuity of his thought suffered in consequence. When Representative Dent asked him if he had any nearer perfect plan. he re- piled that it was not the duty of any individual member to solve the prob lem on the floor, but that the military committee would be lacking were 1t to fail to develop a better plan.
 There was much said about surplus meat MT. Huddleston thought the gov ernment had on hand 250,000, 900 pounds. Someone suggested that the amount was Al 100000 pounds. Then Mir. Huddleston exclaimed:
 Why do gentlemen quibble about the quantity of the meat? The matter is one of principle. I am insisting that the people of the United States be pro- tected by their agents who are looking after the public business"
 (Here a member sought to interrupt)
 q have been interrupted so much that I cannot say anything in proper sequence, and I hope, under the circum- stances. the gentleman will excuse me.

DENT TESTIFIES TO
 PERSHING'S ABILITY

Washington, June 14.-(Special) ) Soldiers have informally testified that General Pershing is unpopular. Some have said that he is deservingly and others undeservingly unpopular
 Other soldiers have testified that General Pershing displayed great mili- tary ability, and others still that he for General Foch.
 In view of these facts, the following testimony of Representative Dent, democrat, expressed in answer to questions, is of value:
 MT. Olney: In his impressions over there, is not the gentleman of the opinion that General John Pershins combined great military genius with wonderful business and executive abil- ity and that he was just the man for the job?
 Mir. Dent: There is no doubt in the world about that. I thoroughly agree with the gentleman from Massachu- setts in what he says about General Pershing.
 I am going to conclude with this statement: That I believe that no particular man in this war comes out of it with any great conspicuous repu- tation, as was the case in previous wars, because it has been fought out on an entirely different line But the one thing that commends General Per shing, the one thing for which he should be praised by the entire people of this country, was his persistent fight to maintain a separate American army under the leadership of an American officer, and he finally got It, and that is what won the war in the Argonne-Meuse fight. (Applause.)

DEMOCRATS SENSITIVE ABOUT UNPREPAREDNESS

Washington, June 14-(Special) ! For the unpreparedness of the United States at the beginning of the war the republicans are still attempting to hold the democrats responsible. Certain democrats have grown tired of the charge.
 One of these democrats a trifle bored is Representative Dent, former chair man of the House committee on mili- tary affairs. In the House, in course of a speech on the army appropriation bill, MT. Dent issued this challenge which was not accepted:
 I challenge anyone now to answer this question: If it be a fact-and the Record will bear me out-that at no time under any administration has the war department ever asked for the maximum strength of the army, what ever 1t may have been, and at no time has the maximum strength ever been urged by the war department itself. how could We have been any better prepared than we were? want to say in this connection that you can talk to me about our lack of preparedness as much as you pleace; you can argue from now until doomsday that this government was not prepared for war; but I want to say that if it be true that we put over 100000 of men in Europe within 19 months, if we won this war within little over a year and half, my God, what greater ac- complishment could there be. (Applause on the democratic side.) Let it not be forgotten that within a little more than one year and a half we landed over 100000 soldiers upon the soil of France; let it not be forgotten that we had something like million and half in reserve back in this country; let 1t not be forgotten that we transported | those soldiers to France with the de- struction of only one loaded transport and with loss of only 733 out of 100000 of men,"

nr nuGu w. RonERrs.

Washington. June 14.-(SpeciaL) Irrespective of the eventual result of the republicans fight against the league of nations, in their successful effort to publish the tentative peace treaty (for the purpose of producing evidence of intrigue on the part of President Wilson, they have scored what everybody admits to be a com plete fiasco.
 In the first place, 1t was their ob- ject to reveal something in the treaty which had not been referred to In the summary published May '. something regarding which the nation would Do shocked, something that would give the appearance of deception on the part of the President.
 In the second place. it was their hope to prove that the treaty had reached the United States in secret, unhealthy, underhanded or treacher- ous manner-that the President had sent the treaty to financial interests of New York, or to those whose aid in behalf of the league of nations he desired
 Well. the treaty was printed. Elihu Root, on the stand before the investi- gating committee, declared, among other things, that he saw nothing in the treaty on which the summary ot May did not have a direct bearing. Others gave similar evidence, but Root was the star. And thus the first card house of the republican politicians fell down.
 And then: AcHow did the treaty reach the United States and come into possession of the money interests of Wall street?'
 Henry P. Davison was the principal witness. He is partner of Pierpont Morgan and others. He is also the

mercial conference which was held in Washington last week. For Mir. Blaine was greatly interested in the development of our trade with South America.
 Everything which was said and done at the conference, furnished abundant evidence that the present day disposi- ton of the South American people is in favor of maintaining and steadily in- creasing trade with the United States. Municipalties and nations in South America are seeking the market which today is the worlds great source of credit and funds. for the United States is that market-p place.
 It was the fact that needed financing prior to the European war was secured by South Americans in London, Paris and Berlin. which enabled those nations across the sea to command the greater part of the South American trade. Now It is evidenced that the United States Is ready to supplant with our own credit and funds to London and Paris as the source of financial aid to South America.
 Trade is sure to follow the securing Of funds. Furthermore trade is the

CATTS IS AFTER
 FLETCHER'S JOB

Washington, June 14-(SpeciaD.- | !. Catts. former Alabamian and preach CT. now governor of Florida, is can didate for the Senate against the incum- bent, Senator Fletcher.
 In Alabama, Catts made very nttle headway in his political ambitions. lie once ran for congress against Repre- sentative Hef1in, but failed to get away from the post He then went further south. and in Florida took up the anti Catholic issue. The people or f!orfaa
 who did not intend that the Pope should
 make of their state a papal provlnce-
 for they were informed that the Pope

 To! he was governor
 For all these reasons, Senator Fletcher is said to be trifle disturbed as to the opposition of Catts. The man is quite a good Speaker, and is able to drive ms thoughts home at just the angle he would have them take effect It is presumed that he will again ride the Pope, and the Pope is said to be rather unpopular III Florida. ..

head of the American Red Cross. He brought the document to the United States, showed it to Root, and Root, in turn, showed it to Senator Lodge. In turn. Senator Lodge reported to the Senate that the document had reached the United States and was in the hands of the money interests.
 Mir. Davison made a clean breast of the situation. He declared that he had asked for a copy in Paris, not in his capacity as Wall street financier, who might reap untold benefits from an early knowledge of the contents of the treaty, but in his capacity of presi- dent of the Red Cross.
 He explained that he had not studied the financial sections. He also added that he had not showed the treaty Co MT. Morgan. MT. Morgan testified, further. that he had not seen it
 So the Senate majority, having pub lished the treaty, acquired no party advantage. The Senate Is charged in some sections of unethical practice because the President had promisei his associates not to make the treaty generally public until it was com pleted. Tn other sections the Senate is charged with other things. But it IS admitted that the republican ma- Jority fell down miserably when it de- sired to impale the President with the two principal spears 1t had prepared, the one alleging the concealmeut of vital matter in the treaty, and the other alleging underhanded practice in i slipping advance information to Wall | street.

 But I do want to cap that with one more thing: If the committee on mili- tary affairs sits idly by here and pro- pose nothing to this House which will enable us to pass measure which will protect the people of the United States against footing, then they will not have performed their duty. I trust this will not rankle them"

COAL MEN ISSUE
 WINTER WARNING

Washington, June H-(Spectaa). - The sharks of the coal market no other than railroad officials, predict severe short age of coal and coal cars the coming winter with great attendant suffering.
 The Pennsylvania railroad issues the following in Washington:
 eve are informed that from present indications there will be a severe short age of coal cars and coal during the coming fall and winter, and in order to relieve the situation as much as pos sfble, you will please get in touch with all coal dealers in your territory and give them these facts and urge them to place their orders for earily delivery.
 ssTt is evident that many people have withheld their orders expecting the price Of coal to be cheaper later in the season, but this is a wrong impression, as the indications are that coal will be much higher than heretofore.

It is believed that extensions of this kind will be se cured by the South American mer- chants. There Is also mutual feeling of friendship and esteem. MT. Schwab said to the delegates at the conference that he had never had any but the pleasantest the most straightforward and the happiest outcome in all the business he had ever done in South America
 One of the commodities of the United States for which South America will make large demands is coal. When the nations of that continent were depen- dent upon England, France and Ger many they secured almost all the coal they needed from Wales. The cost of this coal tended to prevent the develop ment of South American coal and 1t can be placed in the South American mar kets at considerably less cost than the Welch coal formerly commanded.
