POOH LEAD 70 OBTAIN spLIT
Attempt to Arouse indignation Over
"Horror on the Rhine" Proves
Dismal Failure.

THE GermanophIle attempt to
arouse American indignation over the
horror on the Rhine and thereby to
lead to a split. spiritual rather than
diplomatic, between America and her
recent allies has failed Of its purpose
In precisely the same way that Ger
tnan propaganda In this country failed
in every one OF ethe years between
1914 and 1918" says an editorial in
the American Legion Weekly.
The truth Is merely that the Ger
mans do not know how to 20 about
1t. 'Kultur' obviously does not include
any knowledge Of the fine art Of get
ting something over, fact amply at
tested by the reflex action which has
accompanied the present attempt. The
Won Mach style Of responsiveness is
no more subtle than the efforts Of a
st. Bernard puppy to stand up on a
hardwood door. 1t Is fattering the
Won Mach type Of boring from within
to call its insidious. Insidious 1t is,
however, In Its intent II not in its APP
piicatiCn.
"Dr. Won Mach hns proved himself
poor servant OF his country, wheth-
er he regards his country as America
or Germany. He Is poor American
for having tried to win America over
to the point Of view of the unrepen-
tant nation to defeat whose govern
inent 100000 Americans gave their
lives, for attempting to resurrect a
hyphen that was theoretically buried
Just three years ago. He is a poor
German because his clumsIness has
served only to arouse America to the
fact that she Is still at war with Ger
many"

In response to the warning issued
By their national commander, #. w.
Galbreith. Jr. American Legion men,
bers in many parts. Of the country
have been active IN lighting against
efforts Of ro-Germans and other
hyphennted persons to drive a wedge
between America and her allies In the
World war.
Twenty-Five thousand patriotic citl-
zens Of New York attended the "All
American Meeting for God and Coun-
try" which was held In Madison
Square Garden under the auspices Of
the Legion. as protest against pre-
vious pro- German meeting, said to be
for the purpose Of creating sentiment
against the alleged Horrors on the
Rhine"
When word was received in Phila-
delphia that DR.. Edmund Won Mach,
notorious German propagandist, was
planning to hold meeting In that
city, Legion members and other pa
trfotic citizens opposed the PROPOSE
ton and succeeded Ii blocking the
scheme.
Similar action was taken by the
Legion and various societies in Indian
apolls. Among the organizations CO.
operating with the Legion was the ma
tlonal executive committee Of the
American Gymnastic union, composed
Of a large membership of citizens Of
German extraction, which Insisted
upon unhyphenated citizenship and
scored Won Mach and George Sylves-
ter Viereck. On the same day the In
dlanapolIs board Of public works an
nounced It would not permit the use
Of Its large convention ball for the
proposed Won Mach meeting.
Learning that Louisville was on the
proposed itinerary Of Doctor Won
Mach, the Kentucky department of
the Legion instructed posts to use
'every lawful means practicable to
stop the threatened invasion Of Boche
propagandIsts." The Kentucky Legion's
bulletin also warned against the ac-
tivlties of Vlereck.
Legion posts have also opposed the
hyphenates In Chicago, Cleveland,
Omaha, Cincinnati and Milwaukee.

New Jap Tariff
 To Be In Effect Next Wednesday

WASHINGTON May 27-Although official adviees had not been received here tonight that the new Japanese tariff would become effective June 1, the step had been expected for some time
 Revision of the Japanese tariff was probably affected, it was said at the commerce department, because of the desire to restrict imports as means of stabilizing exchange. By reduc- ing imports, it was explained, Japan could more ready build up her trade balance and with it exchange quo- tations with other countries.
 A general increase in the Japanese tariff, officials saiR would have little effect on trade with the United States. At present they added trade with Japan except for such raw ma terial as cotton, is practically at a the silk market about which Amer ican trade with Japan mainly in wolves.
 Advices received have said that in the last few months there has been considerable agitation in Japan for a continuation of the partial revision of the tariff laws which was effected last August.

IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

CHICAGO, May 27.-Captain Ed die Rickenbacker, American flying ace, arrived in Chicago at 5:2s D. m-, central time, today in his flight across the continent from San Diego to Washington, D. c.
 Having covered approximately 5000 miles and with TOO remaining to be covered tomorrow, Captain Ricken packer spent the night in Chicago in the expectation that he would re- ceive authorization from Washington to continue his flight at daybreak in an army plane.
 Battling almost insurmountable ob- stacles in his race against time. Cap tain Rickenbacker reached Chicag as a passenger in a mail plane, his own craft having been disabled in making a landing at Cheyenne, Wyo., last night. This was his second ac- cident of the trip. the first having occurred when his airplane tore its propeller off in landing at Los An geles. In addition, he was held up at Redwood City. Cal. by a heavy fog which made flying temporarily impossible.
 Since leaving San Diego last Mon day in g. 400- horsepower army plane. Captain Rickenbacker has been in the air about 26 hours. He left Los AHSeltS in Redwood City that night Here he was delayed by fog, taking off again Thursday morning and ar irving in Cheyenne, where his plane was disabled the same night. The most difficult part of the flight was over. the Sierras, where he was obliged to ascend to an altitude of i 1000 feet in order to surmount the mountain peaks.
 In his flight from Cheyenne by air mail today, distance of approxi-
 mately 1000 miles. which was GOV cred in about eight hours, a landing was made at North Platte and Omaha was reached at II 30 a. m. Leaving | Omaha at 1:3O o'clock. another stop
 was made at Iowa City of 30 minutes | for oil and gas. the plane reaching | the Checkerboard field of the Chicago air mail shortly before dark.

 about eight hours more flying time.

Colorado Protests
 Private Monopoly
 In National Parks
TRepubIIcan A. p. Leased Wirel

DENVER, Colo. May 27-Charges that an uncontrolled transportation monopoly has possession of the pub lie roads in the Rocky mountain parks and that arbitrarily increased charges by this monopoly deprived at least 10000 persons from entering the parks in 1920. were made today by Enos A. Mills of Estes Park in an address before the Denver Civic and Commercial association at its weekly monday luncheon.
 Mir Mills charged the secretary of the interior at Washington with responsibility for granting the mo- nopoly and declared that the monop- oly had been maintained with the aid of various tourist aLc trade organ izations
 Tn 1919. the secretary of the inte- rior secretly gave a monopolistic transportation concession to the Rocky Mountain Parks Transporta- ton company over public roads in the Rocky Mountain National park. he declared. Naming a number of prominent men he declared had ac- lively opposed the alleged monopoly, he continued:
 The brief recently submitted by Gov Oliver H. Shoup 10 the United States court of appeals shows con clusively that Colorado has com plete Jurisdiction over these roads This brief also expresses the opinion that this monopolization during 1920 deprived at least 10000 from entering the park.
 This uncontrolled monopoly with it's profiteering charges and arbitrary schedules simply excluded at least 10. 900 visitors from seeing this-their own park
 He declared that the secretary of the interior acted without his au- thority in granting a transportation monopoly and condemned his action as illegal and inimical to the public rights
 He quoted the congressional act es- tablishing the national parks as au- thority for his statements.
 This uncontrolled transportation monopoly" he continued, "is not re- sponsible to the public; the public has no power to regulate it. nor to remove it; it gives a few selfish indi- viduals control of every line of busi- ness and labor within this large rich park. This monopoly is in po- sition to pluck the traveller and il has the power of blackman over all local people: it prohibits the free use of the park and is in conflict with the laws of the United States.
 "The rights of the people are SUD- pressed and permits are given tc reward those who support the mo- nopolistic machine. The rule ere ating this monopoly is more treason able than reasonable
 "The monopoliZatioii of this parh was accompanied by doubled and by trebled transportation rates. Where is the alleged control? It is a CAS- of colIusion between monopoly ano bureaucrats. The extensive invesu- gations of Henry B. Joy shows thai these transportation monopolies 1T parts are a law unto themselves that they are running when the please and charging what they like He declared that this monopoly in collision with park officials. has the arbitrary control over all private
