pICiOH VOWdTu Jne Jews.
Many Jewish SOliiers.
Another thing, there were many
Jews in the ranks Of the Allies, and
they proved good fighters, despite the
fact that they are temperamentally a
peace loving people and have an herid-
itary feeling against war. Universally
that feeling was overcome by their
also heritary feeling Of love for coun-
try and they rallied to the flag Of
their country here and elsewhere, as
statistics and individual cases prove.
Which fact did not in any way les
sen the German propaganda against
the Jews.
But what has the German propagan.
da to do with Nh. Lieboh and Mr..
Ford and the attack of the Ford pa.
per on the Jews7
When went with Mr.. Ford to edit
his paper, it was with q distinct un-
derstanding that / was to be editor
and Mr.. Liebold to be business mana
ger.
There was only one exception to
that on each side.
Mr.. Liebold was not there when we
were ready to start, so I bought the
press, and started the business office
going. He didn't like my business ar.
rangement when he came, and made
a complete change, which he had a
right to do-and lost $3.50, 100000 the
first year, the reason of which I ques.
ton even il can't question the right.
Liebold Edits Page.
On the other hand, 1t was under
stood that Mr.. Fords own page was to
be written by Mr.. Cameron and read
by Mr.. Liebold as Mr.. Ford's private
secretary. That was more than agree
able to me from the start, and as time
went on seldom read them either be-
fore or after they got in the paper.
My understanding with Mr.. Ford
was so clear that II l got into an ar
rangement that was distasteful to me
could blame only my shortsighted-
ness for It, and could not blame Mr..
Ford in any way. He kept his word
with me, was all kindness and consid-
GRAFTON, always paid me all he agreed
to, and at least a thousand dollars
more than he agreed in any bargain,
and my salary was much more than
had eve rmade or received before in
my life.
Then, why didn't I stick?
Well, read on.
The stuff against the Jews was be.
ing written.
1t was being read, passed around,
re-read, rewritten and read again.
The Jews were being blamed for
everything.
II the wind blew the smoke in the
window from the west, that was the
fault Of the Jews.
And II the wind blew the dust In
from the east that, too, was the fault
Of the Jews.
There never had been any earnest

LLOYD GEORGE CALLS
STRIKE CONFERENCE

London, May 25.-Premier Lloyd
George has invited the coal owners
and miners to meet on Friday to try
to reach settlement of the coal
strike. In announcing this today
in tn House of Commons Austen
Chamberlain stated that there are
still no signs of agreement between
the parties to the dispute" and that
the move was taken on the Gov
ernment's own initiative.
No conditions Sof any kind have
been laid down as to the discussion,
and in its invitation the Govern
ment has given no sign that it has
any definite plan to propose. 1t is,
however believed that the Prime Min
lister would not have taken this step
unless he had reason to believe that
neither side would hold out stifiy
for it's extreme claims, and a great
deal of reliance is placed upon the
force of public opinion being able
to prevent the complete failure of
this conference. Both mine owners
and miners know that their own
friends are anxiously hoping that
they will find some way to indus
trial peace.

YOU NEVER CAN
TAME A WILDCAT
Mr.. Dodson Warns Against
Use of TreacherouS, DAN
gerous CaIomel !

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
CalonIe1 acts like dynamite on a
sluggish liver. When calomel comes
into contact with sour bile it crashes
into it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy. con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a bottle of
Dodson's LiN er Tone for few cents,
which is harmless vegetable substi-
tute for dangerous calomel. Take a
spoonful and if it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better
and quicker than nasty calomel and
without making you sick, you just
go back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides. it may sallvate you, while if
you take DOdson's Liver Tone you
will wake UP feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work or play.
it's harmless, pleasant and safe to
give to children; they like it.-(Advt)

German War Plot
That Failed Comes
To Light in Gotham

NEW YORK, Feb. 10-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press.)-A German war plot
that failed has been revealed here
Four defective bolts, taken from the
machinery Of the transport Mount
Vernon told the tale. They were dis
covered by the engineering forces OF
Commander R. D. Gatewood, direc-
tor of the shipping boards division
of construction and repairs, and
placed on exhibition at his office.
Here is the story: After the Mount
Vernon-formerly the Kronprinzessin
Cecilie, the famous gold ship that
ran into Bar Harbor in the early
days of the war-had been seized as a
troopship, her German crew cut
two-thirds of the way through the
four six-inch bolts that connected
the engines with the main crank
shaft. The sl1illfuly made cuts re-
manned hidden by the fittings of the
engines and were only discovered re-
Gently when the engines were taken
apart.
1t is to be presumed that in GER
tain American detention camps there
were trained German engineers who
waited eagerly for reports which did
not come of something happening"
to the converted troopship For it is
believed that the bolts were left
barely holding with the hope that
the craft would just creep out into
U-boat lanes and then fall prey to
the undersea craft when a sudden
strain on the engines came with an
order for full speed ahead.
But the breakdown never came
nf or OF
the liner to make a dozen round
trips through submarine infested
seas, carrying on each voyage from
5000 to 1000 men. Just to round
things out, she encircled the globe
to bring troops home from Russia.
The Mount Vernon had several mar
row escapes. Once she was tor
pedoed and thirty-five of her crew
killed, but made her way to French
port.

BRITISH TO AGREE
TO FREEDOM OF
SEAS, SAYSBORAH

WASHINGTON, Feb 10. The
world Observation-Disclosures of Great
Britain to agree to freedom of the
seas-shortly will be removed, Sena-
tor Borah, of Idaho, predicted today
in an interview.
Mr.. Borah based his prediction on
London reports that Sir Auckland
Geddes, British Ambassador, is re-
a disarmament conference. If this
is the case. he said, it means a change
in the British position of freedom OF
the seas which President Wilson
called the sine qua non of peace and
cooperation"
Should Great Britain revise it's
views, prospects of real progress to-
ward disarmament would be tremen-
dously increased, Mr.. Borah declared.
Japan, he added, is fast coming to
ference would be acceptable.
THE news from London that the
British ambassador is returning with
authority to urge or agree to Il con-
ference for disarmament is, in one
respect, most encouraging" Senator
principles laid down by President
Wilson when he went to Versailles
for world peace was the establish
ment of freedom of the seas. 1t will
be recalled he declared the free
dom of the seas is the sine qua non
mier of Great Britain wholly re-
jected this proposition and declined
even to have the peace conference
consider it.
This refusal was the first step to-
ward breaking down the whole plan
for anything like real world peace or
world disarmament at Versailles.
LAS the Italian historian Ferrero
has said in regard to this matter,
the result was that the law of the
oceans remain just what it was be-
fore the war-barbarous. ambiguous,
subject to the caprice of the strong
est
TT is now to be presumed, there
fore, that if Great Britain really is
in favor of effectual disarmament,
that she prepared to change her po-
sition on the question of freedom of
the seas. That is the first real step
toward effectual and a permanent
peace and world disarmament. When
the British ambassador or the gov
eminent of Great Britain announce
that this policy will be acceptable to
them. we will be far on the road to
disarmament we will be in sight of
relief from the ever increasing and
crushing burdens of war in time of
peace"
Turning to Japan, Senator Borah
said:
The situation is now that Japan
is also fast coming around to favor
conference between the United
States, Great Britain and Japan, with
a view to reducing ornaments"
Senator Borah has not decided on
the next step in his own efforts to-
wards disarmament. He was study
ing today the adverse report of the
senate naval committee on his reso-
luton for a six months naval build,
