Legion Best Ever in Glasgow.
Large Attendance.

The special Armistice Day dance
given under the auspices of the local

point, of any dance given in Valley
county for years past.
A general color scheme of the Am
erican colors and Red Cross designs
in Difference to the day from a histori-

the annual Red Cross Roll Call, was
very beautiful. The committee in

johnson, of Pittsburg, a very promis-
ing young toe dancer, gave a splendid
exhibition of her arts, and responded

ARMISTICE DAY
MASS MEETING
lntercessiOn and Memorial by Joint
Churches. Military Funeral for
Henry Miller.

November eleventh, ninteen hundred
twenty-one, Armistice Day, will long
be remembered by the citizens of Glas-
gov.
At nine-thirty the American Legion
assembled and marched in formation,
to the Baptist church, under the COM
mand of j. M. Bailey, Post Command
er. The Legion led by the American
Standard was greeted at the church
by large chorus which sang "Ameri-
ca The Beautiful while the flag was
carried down the isle and placed in
position. The scene and spirit thrilled
the hearts of over two hundred people.
Chaplain William Pippy, pastor of
the Glasgow M. E. church, offered the
opening prayer, invoking the blessing
of God upon the Congress assembled
at Washington. Earnestly intereating
the creation Of universal peace by di-
recting the councils of representatives.
The music was provided by the joint
choirs of the city's churches. 1t was
great inspiration, and aroused every
one to the possibility and promise of
the future. The leader is to be con-
graduated for the success. The solos
by Mrs. Rasey, and by Mrs. Brady,
We're very much felt and appreciated.
The Armistice Day speech was made
by Judge Borton, of Glasgow. His
very fitting message made one feel
proud of his citizenship. He led his
audience to feel the soul of the oc-
casion by his great sympathy. Such
occasions discover the heart of the
man.
Rev. T. R. Brady, pastor of the
Baptist church, led the responsive
reading, which was selected with great
care. and presented with true spirit.
The service of intercesion was con-
cluded with a service of memorial,
when the citizens of Glasgow paid a
grateful tribute to Comrade Henry
Miller, World War veteran, who laid
down his life in France. The service
was conducted in feeling sympathy and
in true American spirit. Chaplain
Pippy gave the Memorial address in
words of inspiration. The deep in
tensity of the Chaplain's soul and the
true spirit of an American soldier,
gave his message an earnestness that
cannot be forgotten. He spoke in
language that cannot be lost, and that

PEACE With GERMANY
FORMALLY PROCLAIMED
Three Steps Necessary to Return the
United States to a Complete
Peace Status.

Peace between the United States
and Germany was formally proclaimed
Monday by President Harding.
The president, in proclamation
signed at 1852 p. m. Monday, declared
the state Of war between the United
States and Germany, existing from
April 6, 1917, to have terminated in
fact, July 2, 1921, when the joint peace
resolution of congress was approved
by the executive.
Issuance of the proclamation which
followed exchange of ratifications of
the treaty of Berlin, effected Armis-
tice day in the German capital, was
considered the first of series of three
steps. which, when complete, will re-
turn the United States to complete
peace status.
The second step probably will be
the PRONUNCIATION of proclamation
declaring the war with Austria to have
ended, and the third, the issuance of a
similar proclamation with respect to
Hungary. The proclamation dealing
with Austria is expected to be signed
by the president and issued through
the state department within few days
as notifications of the treaty between
the United States and Austria were ex-
changed at Vienna November 8. Rati-
fications between the United States
and Hungary are expected to be ex-
changed soon and the proclamation
isued afterward.

Attempting To Rob Mail

Phoenix, Ariz., Nov. 16-Roy Gard
ner, convicted mail bandit who escaped
from the federal prison on McNeirs
Island, WASH, September S, was cap
tured by mail clerk at the Atchinson,
Topeka & Santa Fe railway station in
an attempt to rob the train of Sic, 700
in a money shipment he believed to
be on the train.
Gardner was identified today when
photographed and admitted his iden-
tity.
After arraignment before j. O.
Henke, United States commissioner,
at which time his bond was placed
at 100000, which Gardner said he
thought 81 can make it." Thomas
Flynn, United States district attor-
ney, said the department of justice
at Washington had ordered that Gard
ner should not be tried for last nights
attempted robbery, but should be sent
to Leavenworth penitentiary to finish
serving the 70 years sentence hanging
over him when he escaped.
Herman F. Inderlied of Phoenix,
who captured Gardner, said at the ar
raingment, he grappled with Gardner
when the bandit confronted him in
the car 10 minutes before train time.
Both fell in a scrimmage. Inderlied
finally got on top and secured his re-
volver, when help arrived. Inderlied
said the gun contained two bullets
with wooden noses, the rest lead.
j. E. Wilke, department of JUS
tice special agent, testified Gardner
told him the bullets were arranged so
that the wooden nosed would go first.
The woo@en nosed ones, contained
small shot and would probably stop
a man without killing.

INSPECTORS
ARE APPOINTED
Two Glasgow Men Assigned to Duty
In Territory West of Havre. Will
Go To Williston Conference.

Albert j. Borton and Ira B. Tourt-
lotte, both Of Glasgow, have been ap-
pointed federal inspectors and will be
assigned to duty in the territory west
of Havre, to take charge of the gov
ernments work incident to the colec-
ton and adjustment of Federal seed
loans.
Mr.. Tourtlotte will have supervis-
ion of the work in Chateau, Glacier
and Pondera counties and Mr.. Borton
will take charge in Liberty and Toole
counties. Although this territory suf-
fered from hail, drouth and other
causes during the past season, it ap-
pears from preliminary investigations
made by government agents, that
good crops were had in many locali-
ties. Farmers who reside in this un-
affected territory will be required to
settle their seed loans with the gov
ernment. 1t will be the duty of Bor-
ton and Tourtlotte to supervise the
collection of these funds, investigate
and report on applications for extern
sions of loans, investigate and report
on Irregularities, and handle the work
incident to the renewal of loans.
Mr.. Borton and Mr.. Tourtlotte will
leave Glasgow Sunday morning with
Inspectors Williams, Forster and
Mason for Williston, North Dakota,
where conference will be held be-
tween the officials of the Farmers
Seed Loan Office of Grand Forks and
all the inspectors on duty in the terri
tory where Federal seed loans were
made. After the conference, Borton
and Tourtlotte will take up their duties
in their respective territories.
Inspectors Williams and Forster,
who have been in Glasgow for the past
month and who were assigned to duty
in Montana to investigate irregulari-
ties and shape up the work, will return
to their headquarters at Washington.

Gardner said when he made his dash
for liberty during the prison baseball
game, he was wounded in both legs
by the guards shots. He slipped into
the prison barn and stayed there thee
days, living on milk from a nearby
cow pen. Then he left the barn and
spent two days in the brush on the
island, until his wounds were suf-
ficiently healed to permit him to swim
two miles to the mainland. Then he
wandered down the coast to California,
where his wife and baby are, and then
to Mexicala, Lower California, from
where he came to Phoenix, travelling
mostly by motor car.
The police said while there was
nothing of unusual value in the mail
aboard the car attacked last night,
local bank had planned to ship $751;
600 from here today and they believed
the would-be robber had been clipped
off" to the shipment but got on the
wrong train.
Herman Inderlied, the Clerk in
charge of the car, who is six feet,
two inches tall, and weighs about 215
pounds, captured Gardner single
handed.
Gardner told the police officers he
had lived here three weeks, staying
at hotel and driving about the streets
in an automobile. He blamed the
failure of his attack last night to the
fact that Inderlied, a white man, was
in charge of the car, instead of the
negro mail clerk Gardner thought
would be in charge.

''In striking the Imagination" Mr..
Balfour said, in closing, mot merely
the imagination of those sitting here,
but of the whole civilized world-you

ence one of the landmarks in human

Baron Kato of the japanese delega-
tion, next voiced the acceptance of his
government of the plan to limit naval
=. ivities. "Japan," said he, "has no
q for fleet equal to the United

tion in naval armament, but wants to
propose a few notifications in the
American plan."
When he said Japan is ready to
proceed with determination for a
sweeping reduction in naval arma-
ment," the audience rose and applaud
ed.
Baron Kato declared the American
plan would relieve the nations of great
expenditures and Cannot fail to make
for the peace of the world"
Premier BRAND of France declared
the general adherence of the French
government to the purposes of the
American plan, and Senator Schan-
zer, speaking for Italy, told the con-
ference that the American proposal
had the general approval of his gov
ernment.

GREAT POWERS
APPROVE PLANS
Announcement of America. rest
ions Pleases Representati>., u
Foreign Powers.

The disarmament conference re-
ceived it's first thrill" on the opening
day of the session when Secretary of
State Hughes, chairman of the United
States delegation, announced Ameri-
cas- suggestion for a disarmament
program, involving not only a prac-
tical cessation of naval activity, but
the scrapping Of &C capital fighting
ships by the United States, Great
Britain and Japan, in proportion to
their present naval power.
It is difficult for the average person
to grasp the significance Of such a
proposal; but one may form some idea
of the possible savings in dollars and
cents that may be accomplished by
the adoption of such a program when
it is realized that for the price of one
modern batleship 5000 homes cost
ing $4,000 each can be built, and that
this number of houses would take care
of the population of such city as
Sacramento, Calf, Dubuque, Iowa, or
Lexington, Ky. Bringing the compar-
ison nearer home, it would build all
the homes for about three dozen such
cities as Glasgow.
The suggestion came as a total sur
prise to the foreign representatives,
but so far the Representatives Of Great
Britain, France, Japan and Italy have
expressed their acceptance of the plan.
First to announce his approval was
Arthur Balfour of the British delega-
tion, who in speaking of the plan, said
that it proposed one of the biggest
things that has ever yet been done by
constructive statesmanhsip.
Taking the battlehsips as basis"
said Mr.. Balfour, 1--WE think the prop
ositions between the various countries
are acceptable. We think the limita-
tion of amounts is reasonable. We
think it should be accepted. We be-
lieve thoroughly it will be accepted"
When Mr.. Balfour promised the
"full, loyal and complete co-opera-
tion" Of the British nation toward the
general American plan, the audience
rose and applauded for half minute.
1T is easy to estimate in dollars or
pounds, the savings tax to payers of
each nation which adoption of this
scheme would give. It is easy to show
that relief will be great; that indi-
rectly it will greatly stimulate indus
tries, national and international and
do much to remove the difficulties un-
der which civilized nations labor. All
this is matter of figures but there
is something beyond numerical calcu-
lations, something that goes to the
root and which concerns the highest
interests.
what does the scheme do? 1t
makes idealism a practical PROPOSE
tion. 1t takes hold of the dreams of
poets, of publicists; even potentates
have put it before mankind as the goal
to which human endeavor should
aspire.
"What makes this scheme land
mark that comes to the dullest brain
and the hardest heart, is that the
United States has shown that interna-
tional peace not only is good thing,
but that war is horrible and has
