London Times Discredits
Rumors of Broken Promise

LONDON, April 14-Reports from
Washington stating the British gov
eminent is seeking to abrogate official
promises to establish in Palestine a
national home for the Jewish people
have been published in this city. The
London Times says the reports are
hardly credible and that the harm
which would be done by such a COM
plete reversal of policy would be
immense. 1t adds that such a step
on the part of Great Britain would
produce in the United States anti
British agitation of the same kind, and
as deplorable and mischivous as that
relative to Ireland"

"0ur Wounded First"
 Says The Legion
(Psrke. Harper News Service. ]

Little Rock, Dec. 10- Our wounded first" is the holiday slogan ofthe American Legion, Department of Arkansas. Leigh Kelly, department commander, has issued a bulletin on the sub- ject of the better care of wounded and sick and disabled ex.service men. He calls attention to the fact that there are in Arkansas B hospitals. public and private, where about 1000 of these men are now being treated.
 At q conference of department adjutants in Indianapolis, it was decided that an effort should be made by the various posts to pro- vide a Christmas tree in each hospital for the sick and wounded soldiers. MT. Kelly calls upon members of the Legion to visit the hospitals and report to head quarters the condition of the in. stitution. the number of cases in each and the attention that IS needed. 1t is said that there are in the United States at least 2O,- OOO wounded and sick ex-service men and women without proper hospital treatment. The National Commander will make a direct appeal to Congress and he is ask. | ing for a complete survey of all hospitals to be used in support ot his plea for proper relief.

School Tax Amendment
 Comes Up in 1922
(Parke> Harper News Service. ]


 Little Rock, Dec. 6-It is now an assured fact that one of the three amendments to the consti- tuition to be submitted at the gen. eral election in 1922 will be that which is being initiated by the educational interests of the state. Thousands of petitions are being signed by almost everyone to whom they are submitted. From reports received at the Depart ment of Education. it is apparent that there is no general opposi- tion to this movement, 1t being recognized that the schools of the state must have this additional support if they are to continue to function properly. The crux of the amendment. as proposed, is found in the following paragraph:
 A majority of the electors in any school district voting at the annual school election may vote such amount of tax as they deem necessary to provide suitably for the building and maintenance of schools in the district. provided that the General Assembly may authorize Quorum Court of any county to reduce any excessive rate of district tax voted y
 This provision IS deemed an ad. equate safeguard against levying by popular vote of any excessive or unreasonable tax. It is not probable, however. that such an emergency should arise. All ar guments appear to he in favor as the provision which will permit the taxpayers of any community who are more familiar with their own needs than anyone else. to note such amount as they may find necessary to conduct their schools.

Letter from Mrs. Muchmore
 Rochester, Minn.,

Dec. 5. 1920.
 Dear friends at Ozark, and else. where. I want to thank each one of you for every kind and encour- aging word and every kindness shown to me and mine. May the dear Lord abundantiy bless each one of you.
 We reached Rochester last Wednesday morning. We see all sorts, kinds and conditions of peo- ple-a lot of them came looking as l did as if alt they needed was plenty to eat and plenty to do. Others came on crutches. some in wheel chairs and some are brought on stretchers.
 Dr. Mayo tells me there is no chance for me to live without go- ing through a very serious opera tion. He said there was one thing sure, couldn't live Tn my present condition, so, if l fail to pull through l will go just little sooner, that's all. They send some home telling them it is too late for them.
 As sit here in my room l won der which 1t will be for me life or death and knowing that it may be death, l realize. as never before, the great importance of being ready.
 Friends, when we stand at what we realize may be the end of the way, we know that nothing really counts if we are not ready for the Judgment. My advice to you that are not ready, IS to get ready at once; and to you that have already made good your peace with God, is to keep right and ready at all times. Of course l am hoping that 1 will pull through and be able to come and see you all again.
 Love to all my friends.

ITALIAN SUB Grew
TURNS TO D'ANNUNzIO
(By Associated Press)

LONDON. Dec. 9.-Officers Of the
Italian submarine chaser Number
6S-PN were treacherously attacked,
bound and gagged by their crew and
then placed in a boat which took them
into the hrabor of Fiume, says a Milan
dispatch to the London Times describ-
ing the desertion Of the vessel from
the blockading fleet along the Dalma-
tian coast. When the boat landed, it
was met by Captain Gabrielle dan
nunzio, who gave the men cordial
reception, and made an address in
which he denounced as traitor Ad-
miral Milo, in command of Italian
naval forces in the Adriatic.
Members of the d'Annunzian leg
ionaries were asked to kneel before
the deserters, because their action
had saved the honor of the Italian
navy" it is said, the poet-soldier set
ting an example by kneeling. His adj
dress was greeted by cheers and
shouts of Let US go to Spalato; let
us go to Rome" The chaser was then
boarded by D'Annunzio, who ordered
that the officers be released, if they
wished to return to their fleet and re-
port the incident. Assertion Is made
that their protestations of loyalty to
he Italian government were received
with contempt, but they were allowed
to leave by train.

Michigan Man Contests
Womon's Right to Hold
Political Office in State
(Bv Associated Press)

DETROIT, Dec. "a test suit to
determine the legal right of women to
hold office in Michigan was on the
docket in circuit court here today.
The suit, instituted by Mrs. Phoebe l..
Patterson, Wayne county justice of
peace, is the outgrowth of the refusal
of William Lieonitz, a baker to recog-
nize her judicial authority. He pro-
tested her right to hold the office
when he was summoned to appear in
her court.
According to Mrs. Patterson. the
right of women to hold office in Michi-
gan has never been definitely deter
mined. She appealed to attorneys
and was told that there was no prece-
dent on which to base an opinion as
to the legality of her position. Mrs.
Patterson has served as a justice of
the peace since June, 1919.
She contends that in case she is not
legally entitled to the office, hundreds
of documents that she has signed will
be void and asserts that she is anxious
to have the status of women office
holders settled, so that steps can be
taken to insure women the right of
office in the next legislature in case
they are not under the present laws
granted tenure.
