BERLIN MADE ARMED CAMP
Revolt On Williams Birthday Il
Guarded Against.

Observation-Disclosures is barri-
caded and under the guard of numer-
GUS troops. A patrol of 10 armed au.
.tomobiles and a half dozen huge mo-
tor trucks loaded with armed troops,
took up their positions in front of the
government building and shut off all
traffic from the thoroughfare.
The precautions taken by Minister
OF Defense Noske were prompted in

During 1919 the Save-a-Life League
reports that there were 5,121 suicides
in the United States, men outnumber-
ing women nearly two to one. Martial
relations were responsible for $50
suicides. Of the professions lawyers
lead with 43, of whom IL were judges.
No newspaper men were listed, another
evidence that the quill pushers can
stand real grief. Foreign countries
show large increase in suicides, at
tributed to the war and its after eff
fects, such as miserable living condi'
tiOns.

Although the senate military COM
mittee has approved provisions for
compulsory military training for youths
between IS and FL years inclusive, in
the army reorganization bill, it is likely
to have rough going, as congress is be-
ing bombarded with letters of oppo-
sition. In the house of representatives
Republican Leader Mondell is opposed
to universal military training legisla-
ton, and in speech declared leaders
of the party responsible for such legisla-
ton would be cast into political oblivion
He said it would be necessary to spend
$1,000, 100000 to put the system into
operation and bond issue would be
necessary to raise the money. Repre-
sentative Mondell estimated $4,000 ad-
ditional officers would be required
under universal training, and that
$3O0,000,0O0 would be required to put
camps and environments into condition
and $60,000,00O would be needed to
maintain them. Clothing and equip
ment would further increase the cost
he said.
Correspondent Clinton w. Gilbert
writing from Washington does not be-
ieve the bill will pass, and says:
"Most of the letters congressman.
especially from the West, are receiving
now have to do with compulsory train
ing. From the agricultural West ten
letters to one which congressman are
receiving \ oppose universal training.
The farmers, and. especially the farm.
er's wife, does not want the boy COM
PEELED to serve four months in the army.
And with women voting this year, at
least in many states, congressman are
not anxious to face this issue. If it
does not 90 through now it probably
will not at all. /, ~. :. /. b ~,

LeSueur Center Leader Democrat:
to promoting universal military train
ing for all lads between Is and 10
years; six months Of it to be given be-
tween these ages. We're not yet ready
to express a final opinion on this sub

some things which might be taught in
public schools which might be of fully
as much, if not more, value.

Diplomat Decides He Cannot Be
Helpful As Long As Car
rama Rules.
TERM OF SERVICE LONG
Could Not Return To Southern Repub-
lie with Benefit To Either Coun.
try-Has Beef, In Washington
Past Year.

Washington.-Henry P. Fletcher has
resigned as United States ambassador
to Mexico to take effect within a., few
weeks.
Those who know the reason for Mr..
Fletcher's decision say he was con-
WINGED a contribution of the efforts he
has made during the four years in
which he has held this important post
to bring the Carranza government into
accord with the United States on the
many irritating issues which have
arisen, involving protection of Amer
lean lives and property rights, would
be futile. He terminates 18 years Of
diplomatic service with regret and
without any particular plans for his
future, but feels certain he can no
longer be helpful in cultivating proper
relations with Mexico as long as Car
rama remains in control. The ambas-
sador's activity in representation Of
the American demands have made It
certain that he could not return to his
post with benefit to either government.
Decision Carefully Considered.
Mr.. Fletcher's resignation was not
hastily determined upon and, in fact,
last summer he sought to close his rela-
lions with the State department. But,
owing to- the state of public business
and the illness of some higher officials,
he was induced to remain in Washing
ton to act as adviser to the Secretary
in matters relating to all Latin
America.
Mr.. Fletcher was appointed ambassa-
dor to Mexico in February, 1915, but
did not go to Mexico City until Febru-
airy, 1917, having come from Chile,
where he was American ambassador
for conferences.
Relations between the United States
and Mexico were critical when Mr..
Fletcher reached Mexico City, owing
to the border raids and to German in
trigue in the southern republic. As a
result, he was from the first confronted
by serious problems. Little more than
two months after his arrival he was
Kissed I'm the Mexican chamber Of depu-
ties when he attended the opening ses-
sion.
Mr.. Fletcher returned from Mexico q
year ago and the affairs Of the embassy
have been conducted by g. T. Sum-
merlin, as charge d'affaires.

It is to laugh. Republican leaders
generally have been tearing their hair
because the entire primary system has
not been done away with. The primary
law in relation to presidential nomina-
lions was repealed, yet at the meeting
of the republican state central commit
tee it was agreed to make provision for
the registering Of choice, to be binding
on the delegates selected to the county,
district and state conventions. Maybe
some more folks have heard from home.
