WAR RISK o
PLAN

Washington, March ga commit
tee of II, headed by Charles G. Dawes
of Chicago, who served as a brigadier
general with the American expedition
ary forces, was appointed by President
Harding today to conduct an inquiry
"into the administration work risk bu-
reau board of avocational training and
care and treatment of wounded and i'm
paired service men generally"
The committee will meet April 5 to
organize. In addition to Mr.. Dawes,
the members are:-. Franklin w. Gal
braith, jr., national commander of the
American Legion; Thomas w. Miller
of Delaware, alien property custodian;
Theodore Roosevelt, assistant secre-
tary of the navy; Mrs. Douglas Rob-
inson of New York, a sister Of former
President Roosevelt; John l.. Lewis of
indianapolis, president of the United
Mine Workers of America; Franklin
D'Olier, former national commander of
the American Legion; Mrs. Henry R.
Rea of Pittsburg, Milton j. Foreman
of Chicago, Henry S.. Berry of Hender-
sonville, Tenn, and T. v. O'Connor of
Buffalo, head of the longshoremen's
union.
In announcing the selection of the
committee White House officials is
sued a brief statement which said:
"The president thinks the inquiry
will clear the situation, enable congress
and the administration to fix upon a
policy which looks far into the future,
and reveal a way to correct inadequate
hospital service"

tic leaders here and elsewhere, who
openly designate the present period
when Germany is sorely tried with
problems growing out of the entente's
invasion in the west and the Upper
Silesian situation as the opportune
moment for a revolt.
"The German communist party takes
its orders from Moscow, and one need
only follow the manifestos daily APP
pearing in its official organs to locate
the fountainhead of this iniquity."
"The impending collapse of the pres
ent coup and the fact that it is now
lapsing into plain outlawry," contin-
ued Herr Severing, must prove mop
portunely embarrassing to the Moscow
government which is seeking the re-
establishment of diplomatic and trade
relations with the United States, Eng
land and other countries, at the very
moment that accredited emissar;es o.
sovietism are attempting to establish
bolshevism in Germany with the aid of
pillage, destruction and arson"

INVESTIGATION
IS DECIDED ON
Decision Reached After Consultation
With General Dawes, COmman-
der Galbraith and Others.

Washington, March 27.-Presiden'
Harding decided today to have an ex
haustive investigation made of thu
manner in which the government is
caring for disabled war veterans.
Within a few days, it was announced
he will select a special committee tt
conduct the inquiry.
The president, it was said, is de-
termined to lay the whole situation
frankly before congress and the coun-
try for the purpose of correcting any
abuses that may have developed. The
investigators will be instructed to re-
commend any legislation that may be
necessary to remedy the situation.
Decision to inaugurate an inquiry
was reached by the president after he
had conferred today with Chas. C.
Dawes, Chicago, who served in France
as a brigadier general in charge of
procurement of supplies; F. w. Gal
braith, national commander of the Am
erican Legion; Thos. w. Miller, a for
mer overseas flier; Assistant Secre-
tary Roosevelt of the navy department,
and his personal physician, Brigadier
General G. E. Sawyer, who is conduct
ing a survey of the governments pub
lie welfare agencies. All had lunch
con at the White House and discussed
in detail with the president the soldier
relief problem. Later they went over
the situation with General Pershing at
his home here. 1t was indicated that
no time would be lost in getting the
inquiry under way.

MEN
+ LEGION'S E

Three hundred and twenty-five peo-
pie participated in what was the big
gest and best dance of the season, at
the party given to visiting eK-service
men by the Glasgow post of the Amer
lean Legion, at the Firemen's hall last
Tuesday evening.
The many guests expressed full APP
probation of the efforts of the commit
tee of the Legion for their entertain
ment. The decorations were especial
ly effective, combining the green and
white lilies used by the Royal Neigh
bors Monday evening, with the colors
and emblems of the Legion; the music
was at the best. At the suggestion of
Post Commander Bailey, unnecessary
formalities were waived and all en-
joyed themselves, and mingled as old
acquaintance.
Fred Weigel, chairman of the Legion
committee and his assistants were
freely complimented for the very sue
cessful and complete function and the
guests leave Glasgow with the highest
opinion of the Posts hospitality.

GERMANY
FROM

Press dispatches from Germany in
dictate that the communist outbreaks
in Germany and the concerted attempt
by German bolshevists to promote a
general strike throughout the country
are viewed by the government as an
unmistakable symptom of a deter
mined and systematic plot, the inspir-
alton of which is directly traceable to
Moscow and whose single purpose is
the establishment of a German soviet
republic, a government spokesman de-
clared today.
With regard to the evidence that
the government could adduce to sup
port its declared convictions, Herr Sc
vering, Prussian minister of the inter-
ir, said:
eve base our belief on unimpeach-
able circumstantial evidence in our
possession, and also point to the pub
lie u]tterances of accredited communis-

UNITED STATES is
NOT IN EUROPE

Washington, March 3O.-"This coun-
try is speedily returning to normalcy,
a change that will be felt not only in
our domestic affairs, but in our foreign
relations as we'll" declares the Repub-
lican Publicity association, through it's
president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr.
"Normalcy demands that we return to
pre-war relations with Europe. That is
precisely what we are doing, and there
is no danger that President Harding
will be turned from that course by the
cunning wiles of European diplomats.
st is rumored that the allies have,
for the time being at least, abandoned
their interest as to whether the United
States will eventually adopt the league
hopes upon hearing from this country
an indication of sympathy with
the plan of reparation that they are
applying to Germany. 1t is further
stated by writers upon the subject that
payment of that reparation would be
expedited We're an announcement to be
made of the stand of the United States
in the matter. 1t is said that a word
from America supporting the allied
claims would cause Germany to cease
her obstructive tactics and take mea-
sures to pay the indemnity in accord
ance with the allied terms. Allied dip
lomats apparently have chosen to in
terpret President Harding's inaugural
address as an assurance that Germany
can expect no sympathy from the
United States, and they seem to have
arrived at the converse of that policy
by assuming that official American
sympathy will be bestowed upon the
course pursued by the allies.
The statesmen of Europe should not
deceive themselves. While Mr.. Harding
assured the nations of the world that
the United States stood ready to coun-
sci with them in the interests of world
peace, he asserted that we seek no
part in directing the destinies of the
Old World 1T is a far cry from par
~ticipating in sAconference with foreign
governments t. showing sympathy for
one former telligerent or another en-
gagged in the Interpretation of a treaty
INTO which both have entered. That
is what the suggested action amounts
to-nothing more nor less than the as
sumption of the role of interpreter of
a treaty between countries of the Old
World. Could there be a more fragrant
departure from the policy proclaimed
by President Harding in his inaugural
address?
The controversy over payments by
Germany is to be left solely in the
hands of the parties to it, so far as in
~tervention by the United States is con-
cerned. We are out of Europe. 1t re-
quires only the formal announcement
of that fact, through a treaty or res
o%lutlon of Congress, to restore pre-
Clsely the same conditions OF peace
that prevailed before the war. Nobody
would have suggested before 1914 that
America project itself into a contro-
versy between the countries that after
wards entered the war, and the events
that have TRANSFERRED since that date
must not be permitted to blind our
eyes to the proper relations the United
States should bear to the rest of the
wolrd."

EVANGELIST ENDS CAMPAIGN

Rev. C.. w. Clark, who has been con
Quoting a series of evangelical meet
ings here, will leave Monday for Sas-
k%atoon, Canada. He says regarding
his stay in Glasgow:
After more than three weeks of SER
vice at the Christian church, the SER
vices closed on Wednesday night, fol-
lowing a baptismal service.
On Friday evening the fourth of this
month, l arrived in town for the first
time. l was not only pleased with
the appearance of the town but, hav-
ing come from the far north of Sas-
katchewan, | was delighted with the
emarkably fine weather yeu were hav-
ing, but in a few days found / had
brought with me one Of our northern
billiards., which continued for nearly
two weeks, greatly hindering our pro-
gress.
With a faithful company of Chris
tian workers, not only of those repre-
senting u flock, but also of
other Christian socities, | was able to
push the work both afternoon and
night, having preached forty-four
times since l came.
At no time have we received a kind
err reception than in this place, both by
the church and other institutions; the
hospitality and cooperation has been
splendid, for which we are thankful.
The State Mission Board is hoping
to be able to mar this field with a pas
tor in the neal future and | am sure
the effort will prove a success, with
the splendid activities of such people
as we have found here.
AS a result of the meetings fifteen
adults have been added to the church
and from which we expect much in
the future upbuilding of the work.

FRENCH ARE
WITH HUGHES NOTE

Paris, March 26.-Press dispatches
telling of the rejection by the Ameri.
can secretary of state, Charles E.
Hughes, of the Russian soviet trade
proposals were received with satisfac-
ton in official circles here today.
While none of the officials would
permit himself to be quoted, all were
u~ndisguisedly pleased that the United
States had seen fit to reject Lenine's
plea for recognition, the French in
terpreting the American attitude as a
certain amount of support of the
French viewpoint regardinNh he soviet

fusal more than counter-acts any
strength the bolshevists may have
gained through their successful nego-
tiations with Great Britain.

BACHELOR TAX IN THE AIR

Old bachelors who are anxious re.
garulng that 50 which the state OF
Montana intends to collect from them
need not be uneasy at present, accord
ing to w. L. Frazier, county treasurer
Mr.. Frazier says that he has re-
ceived no official information on the
subject, but presumes this tax will be
payable in the fall at the same time
as other taxes, and he refers to the
special poor taxes and the special
road taxes as parallel cases, both of
which are payable in November.
According to the best information
there seems to be doubt as to the val
idity of the bachelor tax, and it may
not be assessed until after the test
case from Miles City as to it's validity,
has been decided.
