$3.50 Emergency
Officers rendered
Army Commissions

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. s.
AS a result of the recent examina-
tions for appointment as officers in
the army, held in conformity with

have been rendered appointments in
the regular army. Of these, 92S were
appointments in the medical corps
and among the chaplains, leaving A.
661 appointed in the other branches
of the service.
Under the congressional act of
June 4, 1920, 5,469 vacancies were
created and congress required that
not less than one-half of the total
number of vacancies caused by the
act, exclusive of those in the medi-
cal department and among the chap
lains, Should be filled by the appoint
ment, to date from July /, 1920, of
persons other than officers of the
regular army, who served as Off
GERS of the United States army at
any time between April 6, 1917 and
June 4, 1920.
The war department was, there
fore, required to appoint not fewer
tina n2,735 new officers, but under
the policy adopted, S24 medical Of

IMMIGRATION
BILL OF HOUSE
HASOPPOSITION

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9-Provi-
which was up for debate today, are
opposed as unnecessary, injurious to
the public welfare and constituting
a reversal of the "histortc policy of
the country" in a minority report of
the immigration committee, signed
by Representatives Siegel, of New
York, and SABBATH, Of Illinois. The
bill's proposal for a practical sus-
pension of all immigration for
period of two years, the report de-
clared, is unwarranted both as to
present labor conditions in this coun-
try and the number of immigrants
arriving. Whereas prior to 1914 the
total immigration frequently exceed
ed 100000 per year. it was pointed
out the total for the first eleven
months of this year was only S4O,509,
with a total of 366,915 emigrants TO
balance against that figure.
The report contained other in
of the bill in the debate today, which
a rule reported by the rules commit
tee, with the five-minute rule apply
ing thereafter. Declaring the immi-
grafton figures and general condi-
tions showed there was no occasion
for the extra ordinary haste mani
tested" in the attempt to pass the
bill, the report asserted there was
no evidence to support the contention
of the committee majority that a
Estate of unemployment exists, ex-
cept sporadically or voluntarily" Es-
Inmates contained in the majority
report that from two to eight million
Europeans were seeking to emigrate
to this country were dismissed as
idle" and toally without supporting
evidence.
Declaring offensive illusions"
were made in the majority report in
it's discussion of the question of
Jewish immigration, the report
added:
We would not refer to these al
lusions were it not for the fact that
there has recently been conducted a
secret and ynalicious propaganda de-
signed to arouse prejudice against
the Jews in various parts of the
United States"

Obregon Not to Make
Direct Appeal for
RECOGNITION by US.

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 9.-Efforts to
obtain recognition by the United
States Of the Obregon regime in Mex
leo will not be carried on as active
ly as under the administration of
Adolfo de la Huerta, it is indicated
here. 1t is declared he is inclined
to allow his administration during
the next few months to act as his
appeal for recognition. An indica-
tion that recognition by the United
States is not far away, it is asserted,
is the absence Of Alberto J. PAM from
the Obregon cabinet. 1t is under
stood the former Mexican minister
to France Is the new president
choice for an eventual representa-
tive in Washington.
The fact that within the past few
days Japan, Germany and Brazil have
recognized Mexico has aroused only
mild newspaper comment. Several
journals have urged editorially the
necessity Of recognition by the Unit
ed States, asserting that would mean
similar action by all the European
powers,

GERMANY IS NOT

GENEVA. Switzerland, Dec. g.
Germany is closely observing the ac-
Invites of the League of Nations.
Prof. Herbert Kraus, author of a
widely-read book on the Monroe Doc
trine, is in Geneva for the German
Volkerbund peoples society, study
ing the situation, writing brochures
and sending news stories to the pub
LEGATIONS of the society. Prof. Kraus,
whose wife comes from an old Vir-
ginia family, said to the writer to-
day:
German public opinion on the
league is divided. At first the en-
thusiasm was high but now the idea
is unpopular. Many Germans think
that the league is not impartial to-
ward Germany because of the threat
ened Ruhr occupation, the Eupen-
Malmedy annexation and the colo
NAL mandates. The absence of the
United States from the league has
an unfavorable influence on public
opinion. Many believe that without
the United States the league is
doomed to failure. The absence of
that country removes the assurance
of impartiality.
my opinion as a close observer is
that Germany is not opposed to the
idea of going into the league under
the present covenant. However, the
time is not ripe and it would be a
lack of tact to apply for admission,
1t might cause a serious controversy
without a chance of helping the
league or Germany. 1t might bring
harsh words against Germany with
dangerous possibilities both for that
country and the league. To the best
of my belief Germany would never
consider forming a separate league
or series of alliances. The policy
of alliance is dead in many.
"The withdrawal ~ Argentina, in
my opinion, was very unfor-
tunate In this agree with
ought to regret the Argentine action
because it weakens the league idea
Concerning Article X 1 am uncer-
tain whether it is favorable or I'M
favorable for Germany. We are

II hardly think that the present
assembly will produce great results.
The next assembly will decide i'm
portant questions and determine
whether the league is to live or die.
The final decision will rest with the

'Ien-Cent Bill Yopp''
Would Sell Pamphlets
For Veterans Present

Bill is worried-"Ten-Cent Bill
Yopp." For ten years Bill has been
visiting the Confederate veterans at
the, Soldiers Home and presenting
each OF the old soldiers with any
Christmas time. He gave $500 in
But this year Bill is in trouble: he
cannot raise enough money to give
the veterans suitable Christmas
present. and it was the very year he
had hoped to give them the biggest
surprise.
Bill has had published a history OF
his life, telling of his service to his
former master, the late CAPTAIN
Thomas Yopp. The history is in pam-
phlet form and sells for Is cents or
two for quarter.
Bill went to the veterans reunion
at Houston expecting to sell u large
number of his pamphlets and give
the veterans the largest Christmas
present he has ever given them. The
trip proved unsuccessful, the total
sales netting Bill very slender sum,
not enough to pay his travelling ex-
penses to Houston. He now has 1900
publishers bill to pay. Bill is very
anxious to sell them all, and if he
can do so he will have enough money
to give the veterans their annual
Christmas present. If not, someb body
may have to bury Bill. He is gravely
distressed.
Nearly everybody in Georgia knows
of "Ten-Cent Bill Yopp;" how he
served his master faithfully through
out the war, and, when Captain Yopp
died last January, delivered funeral
grafton.
Such was Bills fidelity to the vet
Grams that the board OF directors at
tie Soldiers Home voted him a life
membership at the home, with all the
privileges. Each summer the legls-
latura gives Bill Job 3s porter. but
the legislature doesn't meet often
enough-for Bill.

esting history of a typical southern
slave and at the same time help Bill

emit to the veterans at the Soldiers
Home. may write ''Ten-Cent Bill

FARMERS NOW
HAVE BIG SHARE
INFOREIGN TRADE

WASHINGTON. Dec. 9.-Farmers,
ton as protection against falling
prices, raised crops during the last
two years which brought more than
$1,000, 100000 when sold for export,
according to an analysis of foreign
trade by Secretary of the Treasury
Houston.
Farmers are bringing pressure to
bear on congress to revive the war
finance corporation to loan them
money to export wheat, grain, cot
ton, meat and dairy products An
other group wants high tariff on
wool.
Secretary Houston has opposed the
demands and some government off,
increase food and clothing prices.
According to Secretary Houston,
more than SO per cent of the United
States foreign commerce now con-
sists of agricultural products. Dur
ing 1918 and 1919 this commerce pill
ed up a trade balance in favor of
the United States of nearly $1,000
business men of the United States
more than $4,000, 100000. according
to Houston, in addition to nearly $10,-
000,000,000 which their governments
owe the government of the United
States.
Secretary Houston's indicated con-
clusion, therefore, is that farmers
now are sharing, to a greater extent
than any other class of business men,
in the greatest foreign trade in Unit
ed States history.
Southern farmers, particularly in
sistent on urging government assist
ance to protect them from selling
cotton at 20 cents per pound instead
of 40, as a few months ago, were
particularly noticed by Secretary
Houston. The value of unmanufac-
tured cotton exported from the Unit
ed States was $1.1OO,0 100000 during
1919, he pointed out. During the
same period exports of breadstuffs
were valued at $1,000,000,000 meat
and dairy products, $1,000, 100000 and
