MANY LIQUOR VIOLATIONS

Texarkana, June 28.-The Bowie County (Tex.) Grand Jury, which ad- journed at Boston Saturday night aft CT returning many indictments. includ- ing about 20 violations of the pro- hibition laws, made an appeal in its final report asking the people of the Maude and Red Water communities to aid in the suppression of many dis tilleries, which it asserts, ,are being operated in those communities. The report says that the conditinos about Maude and Red Water are worse be- cause of these stills than they were when regular saloons were operated. For some reason, the report says, cit izens show persistent unwillingness to give testimony against the offend CTS and that unless this policy is changed there is very little hope of suppressing the lawlessness now pre- valent.

FLIES l,4oo MILES WITHOUT STOP

Philadelphia, June 27. Darkness tonight forced the Larsen airplane, which left Omaha this morning for New York, to come to earth at Pine Valley, 15 miles east of this city, but not until all American records for a nonstop flight had been shattered, ac- cording to John M. Larsen, one of the passengers. The aviators made anoth- CT stop halfway between this city and Lancaster, Pa, which, Larsen said, was about 1,2O0 miles from Oma- ha. This distance, he declared, was the longest nonstop flight ever made in America. The men were in the air a few minutes less than Il hours and, allowing for the added mileage caused by losing their way, several times, covered approximately 1,400 miles.
 Leaving Omaha at 5:12 a. m., the machine, "J. L." all metal multi plex piloted by Bert Acosta and car- rying Larsen and W. Bugh, mecha- nician, encountered dense fog and

Berlin, June 22.-OfIicial announce
ment has been made that Konstantin
Fehrenbach has been appointed chan

man Peoples party. avowing allegiance
to the Wemar constitution and the re
publican form of government. removed
an obstacle to coalition of that party
with the Clericals and Democrats This
declaration seems elastically phrased,
but is accepted as promise Of good
behavior
The new coalition, which commands
only 106 votes. will thrive solely be
cause OF the "benevolent neutrality"
promised by the majority Socialists,
who. despite German labor interests,
will not be represented in the new cab

The governments platform will af-
firm the new regime proposes loyalty to
carry out the Versailles treaty and will
appeal for the subordination Of partisan
interests.

THE REAL CONSERVATIVES

TINE attempt Of the committee Of
l. forty eight. now organizing third
party, to attract the farmers is not
likely to succeed. The statement given
out by six of the leading organizations
of farmers Yesterday rcpudiates the
whole plan. The farmers are not to be
drawn into any class movement. They
are, as the statement declare. sane,
sensible, plain and clear thinking
American citizens who believe In rep
resentative democracy as ii exists in
the United States, and not in the
soyietism of Russia, the socialism Of
Germany or the autOcraCy of Mexico"
The farmers are capitalists and EN-
ployers with stake in the preserva
tion of orderly institutions and with an
intense interest in the protection of the
rights of property. They are the real
conservatives. While they know that
the country is prosperous when they
prosper, they also know that they can
not prosper unless the people who are

prices.

SUPPLIANTS TO VENlZELoS
INHE spectacle Of three nremiers ron.

TNHE spectacle of three premiers rep
l. rescntinC major nations in Europe
playing the role Of suppliant to Eleu-
thcrioS Ncni2clOs. OF Greece. is one of
the few definite pictures that have
emerged from the cloud of conferences
held since the world convention Of Paris
The seen" at Boulogne is singular
and yet cxplicable. The Greek leader
is unquestiOnublly one of the foremost
statesmen Of the era. His knowledge of
the Near Eastern situation is explicit
and profound. and the so called small"
nation which he represents has risen
within a decade to position of impor-
tance recognition of which is unavoid-
able.
\ dispatch from London declares
that experience has shown that the
Greeks are no match for the Turks as
tghters,' but this verdict, however
familiar and stereotypcd. is quite at
variance with the facts of the two Bal
kan wars Of 1913. in which Hellenic
arms at Janiua and elsewhere covered
themselves with glory. The directing
mind in these struggles, "little" only in
contrast with the general cataclysm
which 50 soon succeeded them. was ad-
miuodly Ncnizelos, the man with whom
Britain, France and Italy are now
dickcring to pull their Chestnuts out Of
th" fire in Turkey and Asia Minor.
TAat the Greek army, in spite of its
record, is equal to this formidable task
may be questionable. but there is no
shadow upon the ability of the gifted
clear headed Cretan who, within an eX-
trGordiuariy brief period, has given to
his country virtually a new birth. Nat
urally he will drive the best bargain
he can in the present emergency. but
should his plan succeed, where others
have failed, in restoring order in the
dismcmbered Turkish empire, even the
unpaatableness Of some of his terms
may have to be CondOned. A first rate
mind can usually afford to dictate.
