MADE HIS ARGUMENT GOOD
small Johnny Drew on Biblical knowI-
edge to Convince Mother Of
Danger He Was In.

Ten-year-old John lives next door
to little girl near his own age. The
mothers are good friends and insist on
their children being playmates. But
this doesn't suit John, who wishes to
get out with the boys. SO he tries his
best to start a quarrel whenever play
time with Edith arrives. And the ex-
plantations for this trouble, which he
offers to his. mother are often elab-
crate.
Last Wednesday he had succeeded
In making Edith angry. Like little
fury she flew at him and pulled his
hair. Then John went home to make
the announcement that no longer
would he play with this girl. 81 can't
that's ALL" he ended. Its danger

His mother smiled. "oh, think
not" she comforted. "It isn't such
a calamity to lose few hairs"
"Well this Is just the beginning" I"
John returned, ''apd remember what
happened to Samson just on account
Of a woman"

BERLIN, March 26.-The Socialist
newspaper "Vorwarts" and "Die Frei.

pletc recklessness in dealing with the

"Vorwarts" charges that the mill
tary, in an effort to maintain the su-
premacy of the officers clique, has
camouhaged itself with descriptions of
its fight on Bolshevism. The newspa-
per says the officers are even disciplin-
to obey orders to assist in the over
throw of the Ebert government.
1t is reported that Herr Duncker
who came to Berlin to negotiate with
the government for the settlement of
troubles at Gotha,. has been arrested
by the military and carried to Doe
beritz, where General Ehrhardt's troops
have been encamped since their with
drawal from the city.

ReUenue Men Find
Cocktails in Till
Fred Schun1m's Saloon
Raided and Proprietor
and 2 Bartenders Held

Revenue agents raided Fred Schumm's s
saloon in Brooklyn about o'clock yes
terday afternoon. 1t is alleged that
whisky, sherry and cocktails were
found. Schumm and two bartenders
were arrested, the former charged with
maintaining nuisance and the latter
with illegal possession of intoxicants.
They pleaded not guilty and were re-
leased in $500 bail each.
Schumm's is at 395 Fulton Street,
across the street from the Borough
Hall and the court house, and long has
been the resort of politicians. Two
agents who asked for whisky were re-
fused and a search warrant was dis
played.
No liquor was discovered until Chief
Inspector Allen started to move a cash
register and dropped it in surprise
at the ease with which he had lifted it.
1t is alleged the cash register was
merely dummy and that under it were
concealed several glasses containing
whisky or sherry and several bottles
of cocktails.
