(washington Herald-Public Ledger

Berlin. June 17.-A telephone
strike began Tuesday throughout
Germany as a consequence of a gen.
eral raise in telephone rates and the
introduction of telephone loan"
to help the government telephone
rates and the telephone service over
financial difficulties. The strikers
are not employees, but subscribers,
who refuse to pay the new rates
amounting in the case of Berlin, to
500 marks (normally $1,000 per year
and to contribute 1000 marks to the
treasury as a forced loan.
The Berlin officials refuse to give
out the figures on cancellations, but
5000 phones were ordered out in
Munich alone and 10000 in Bavaris
as a whole Various cities report
from one-half to one-third of the
subscribers have cancelled their

he shot Armstrong.
At the trial yesterday before JUS

tbat they considered him n bad

@Hard Guy Say. Guard.
Edward E BIlkley. a guard at
the District jail. where McHenry
has been confined since the shoot
ing. testified that although he
thought McHcnIy to be a bard lit
tie guy he nevertheless thought
him sane
The guard based his statements,
he said OF almost daily obserya-
tions of the boy When McHenry
was informed of Arlnstrong's death.
Bulkley said. the boy remarked ~

ing Of Mulcare. the witness stated.
McHcnry said that he gave him a
chance
s McCcmas Hav ken, counsel for
the defense. asked Bulkiey II he
had acted as a self-cons tituted spy
The witness replied he had not. but
had merely observed McHenry as
he had observed other prisoners.

I talk to all the prisoners" Bulk
ley explained but I do not try
to get anything particular out of
them On one occasion. the wit

They make a he'll OF fuss in this

Papers in other cities wouldn't say
a word about It" Further, Bulk
ley said. McHcnry said he hoped
that they would rot destroy his
pistol. as ii v as q good one"
Dr.. E Stage Within. chairman of
the National Committee on Prisons
and Prison Labor. of Maine, stated
that McHenry sought a parole from
the State prison in order to fight
for his country.
The boy had a great appetite for
fighting. the witness said, and since
he could not do that in prison. he
was extremely anxious to get into
the navy for a chance to fight
somebody or something.
Taught to Fight by Father.
McHenry's father was a pugflist
and. according to DR.. whitin's in
vestigation, the father had taught
the son the art of prize fighting at
a very tender ..-e.
DR.. Within saIG he considered Nc
Henry normal, and that he appeared
to be a bright boy. The CORES
pondence between DR.. Within and
McHenry relative to the latter-s
getting parole to enter the navy
was exhibited to the jury, who
seemed to be impressed with the
letters, all of which tended to show
that McHenry was anxious to re-
form and do something worth
while.
James F. Walsh and James Crook.
who boarded at the same house
with McHenry at Pawtucket. r. I.
in 1919, both testified that NcHenrv
never once showed a trace of in
sanity.
All of the other reouttal wit

same thing. The trial will he re-

PRESIDENT, and the movement of troops
Will begin "at once" Secretary Baker
announced to-day. Only a small por-
tlon OF the complete force of 5000
troops will be evacuated for the pres
ent, but the others will come out as
soon as the repatriation of the Czecho-
Slovak and other friendly troops there
has been completed.
Secretary Bake~ was not prepared to
identity the troops which would be first
to move homeward 1t is believed,
however, that the eth and 31st regi-
ments of infantry from the Philip
pines, which were the first to enter
Vladivostok, will be dispatched to their
home station first. Army transports
that are now at Vladivostok will bring
out some of the expeditionary force,
but the bulk of the American contin-
gent will not be moved until all the
Allied troops have been repatriated
and adequate protection has been ar
ranged for any portion of the Ameri-
can railway commission which may re-

troops will begin next month. The

LONDON, Jan. 13.-British labor,
whose opinion is worthy of attention
In view OF the party's recent acquisi-
ton of power among the people, takes
stand on the treaty similar to the
attitude expressed by Herbert Hoover.
Hoover objects to the Austrian settle
ment. Labor goes further by declar-
ing that the machinery provided for
the league of nations is incapable of
overcoming the faults of the Paris de-
clsions. prominent labor official
SAID to the Tribune correspondent to-
day;
France dictated the part of the
treaty that Hoover doesn't like. 1t is
true that territorial concessions NAV
be altered under Article XIX (provid-
lns reconsideration of treates),s but
Article V insists that all decisions
be unanimous. Thus France can
stlfie any movement which all the other
nations regard as just. The peace
is Clemcnceau peace and the league
Clemenceau league.
When labor is in power she will
amend the unanimity clause of the
covenant and then revise the treaty.
The unanimity clause makes the
growth Of Europe toward enlightened
democracy impossible. One backward
country or one imperialist government
may balk the worlds progress"
Sounding lead for his followers,
Arthur Henderson spoke in this spirit
at Widnes to-day. On the same plat
form sat Lord Robert Cecil, advocate
of the league, who had just made the
significant statement that he would not
join the new British National Party
if it intended merely to fight labor.
1.-The statesmen who drafted the
peace of Paris and embodied in the
covenant the clauses which, as we
view it, seriously weaken it as an in
strument of peace make a serious
mistake in thinking that the people
approve of their decisions" said Hen
derson. They have been accepted un-
der protest because the first essential
is to put an end to the state of war
and to feestablish communications be-
tween the nations of the world On
something like a peace footing. But
we believe that new governments will
come into power in all countries which
will show greater wisdom and better
understanding than the makers of this
peace"
Henderson said every one dcplored
the difficulties over the league Of ma
tions which had arisen in America.
But in connection with Hoovcr's
statement it should be remembered
that labor still hopes that America, if
she enters the league, will bring no
gold or food or political intolerance,
but spark of disintercstcd idealsm.

different divorce and marriage laws If
the different states," said Dr.. Sheafe.
1T is absurd to have forty eight differ
ont kinds of marriage laws in the
united States, and this is made partic-
uiarly noticeable because of the effect
on international marriages.
Statistics prove that so per cent Of
the divorces have been due to hasty
marriages."
DR.. Sheafe told Of a nurse he had
known in Brooklyn, who met man one
day, nursed him the next, married him
the third, and sued for divorce in two
In the opinion of DR.. Sheafe, Fed
eral divorce law should require two

under other exceptional circumstances.
mo total divorces should be granted,
xcept by Federal court" he said.
State courts should be permitted to
grant separations, but not legal di-
vorces. The power of granting divorces
given to state judges, with discretion
as to secrecy, has produced an unmiti-
gated evil"
