Cox Roasts Saturday Evening Post
for Editorial and Cartoon in
Forthcoming Issue.

New York, Oct. Ex-Governor James
Nj. csox gave out the following statement
Sunday afternoon:
.'Propaganda is not effective when 1T IS
lnbeled but In the guise OF facts, IT
stranglcs the truth and moulds the minds
into which il is introduced as facts. The
American people discovered this during
the war and finally they put upon dis
loval propaganda the label which de-
stroyed il.

specimen OF propaganda of thus very sort
Ii is an advance copy OF the saturday
Evening Post. known to the great public

tory its stated purpose has been to present

"But the number of this magazine

"Whv has the Saturday Evening Post
done this2 Why has it betrayed Its mission

answer. IL has done this thing because
It's owner is one of the plutocratic group
which knows what it wants of the next
administration and how 10 get it from the
syndicate which controls Senator Harding.
II has done this because its owner IS the
head of the movement which has sought
subsidy from the Government for the
delivery Of national magazines. The Sat-
urCiay Evening Post has imposed on the

SURPLUS OF LABOR
 IS NOW AVAILABLE
 FOR BRITISH PLANTS

LONDON, Jan. 14 (by Associated Press) 1.-The, great increase in the number of women employed in Brit ish industries has become an impor- tant factor, and only an expansion in industry can take care of all the labor both male and female-now avail able, according to a statement by the American Chamber of Commerce in London.
 Sir Auckland Geddes, president of the Board of Trade, recently declared that the country's production would have to be increased, not only for the sake of export markets, but to absorb surplus labor. According to his fig ures, said the American chamber, there are already over 30O,OO0 more men and women employed or looking for employment in the industrial world than before the war; The demobiliza- tion of troops would necessitate the absorption of almost another million.

SOLDIER ELECTED
 TO FRENCH CHAMBER WAS AN EMBEZZLER

PARIS, Jan. IA (by Associated Press).-An extraordinary story of the election of a French soldier to the chamber of deputies and his subse- quent conviction by court-martial and sentence to Imprisonment for two years has come to light here. Lieut.. Verniers of the artillery is the man. When the tickets were being pre- pared for the election soldier can didate was desired in the department of the Nord and Vernier's name was proposed by National Republican senator who said that Verniers had fifty-six wounds and had received sev- enteen citations for bravery.
 Verniers was then in hospital, but he was elected without appearing be- fore his constituents. Later it was learned that he was charged with stealing 10000 francs from the funds of his regiment. He was cOurt-mar- tialed and sentenced to two years inn prisonment, and has resigned from the chamber of deputies after having been a member of that body for forty-eight hours.

fns so marks for something which
the Englishman is asked 40 marks
and the Frenchman 40 and posi-
BIZ everybody else only 30.
Much Of the same sort of dis
elimination prevails in England
and France, though in both coun-
tries the governments are doing
their utmost to keep it under con-
troll. They realize that American
tourists will not long submit to
such discrimination and Europe is
too anxious to have Americans
come abroad to spend their money
TO carry the game too far. On the
ether hand. accommodations are
difficult to get and the law OF sup
ply and demand is to some extent
responsible for the high rates be-
ing charged Then, too, there is a
common impression that every
American who comes abroad gets
a lot of money when he changes
his dollars into marks or francs or
English pounds. For many months
Europe has suffered from the eff
fects of the unfavorable rate of
foreign exchange in endeavoring to
buy commodities in the United
States. and the Amrican tourist is
now paying some of that deficit.

Aside. however, from physical
conditions of travel with hotels
crowded, trains taxed to the very
doors and aisles, and good food
scarce in many parts OF Europe.
there are certain dangers of a
blow-up that may any day cause
American tourists inconvenience.
Nobody can foretell the future but
the number of strikes and indus
trial disturbances is increasing. In
one case Americans who went from
Paris to a seaport town to get
their ship for America found a
dock strike and inasmuch as the
sailing of the vessel was postponed
they pleaded with the steamship
officials to let them board the ship.
There were absolutely no accom-
modations in the hotels OF the lit
