DAUGHERTY AFTER
WAR PR0FITEERS
ATTORNEY GENERAL DAUeHERTS
TO PROBE GOVERNMENTS
WAR CONTRACTS.
WILL PUNISH sWlNOLERs
Special Investigation Bureau Being
Organized With staff Of Business
Experts TO DeIve Into Wartime
Transactions.

Washington. investigation by the
Department Of Justice Of all major
wartime contracts with the govern.
ment has begun, Attorney General
Daugherty announced.
TO handle the work, which has the
approval Of President Harding, Mr..
Daugherty said special bureau is be-
ing organized which will have as its
head some weIl-known man OF proved
ability and a staff of experts in diff.
ferent lines of business.
The purpose Of the investigation, he
explained, is to sift the wartime deal
ings Of business concerns and indi.
viduals with the government in order
that those guilty Of dishonesty may
be punished and those whose dealings
have been fair may be cleared from
what he declared were suspicious
prevalent in the public mind that all
Of the governments war contracts are
open to question.
Declaring that the investigation was
not directed principally "at the little
fellows" the attorney general said.
I'VE viii throw back any minnows we
catch in our net and let them start
over again"
At the conclusion Of the work, Mr..
Daugherty said he would submit re-
port to the president, but meanwhile
would not disclose the progress Of the
investigation lest the governments
work be hindered.
Mr.. Daugherty expressed confidence
that the great,majority OF the business
men who had dealings with the gov.
eminent we're beyond reproach in their
methods, but that there had undoubt-
eddy been great many instances
where business had been done on an
unfair basis.
The government, he said, could not
justify sending men and boys to prison
for antagonizing the raising of an
army during the war, If men who made
unconscionable profits out Of the ma
lion at the time of the greatest dis.
.ress went unscathed.

Washington.-By a vote Of exactly
five to one the house passed the Por-

Of war between the United States and
the central powers.
AS a substitute for the Knox reso-
luton, already passed by the Senate,
repeating the declaration OF war, it
was put through, SO5 to 81, as a re-
publican measure with the loss Of
only one republican vote-K Kelly Of

bill with its disarmament amendment.
made a bitter attack on the resolu-
tion, declaring congress would live
to apologize for its act, which he de-
scribed as making peace with mere
clasp Of the hand, after the fashion
Of professional wrestlers.
Failure of the senate to accept the
house substitute will send the whole
question Of peace to conference. Most
Of the republican speakers declared
congress ought not to repeal the war
declaration itself, holding it would be
regarded as reputation of the war,
but democrats reminded them that a
republican house twice had passed a
peace provision with that provision.
No immediate agreement is in pros

There was no debate on the latter

The effort OF the democratic lead
ership to hold the party in line
against the resolution failed, and the
minority crumbled on roll call. The

days Of debate, which leaders agreed
had not changed one vote, brought a

This Is a story Of luck following q
sequel as the most imaginative writer
Of comedy could invent. And this
story Is true, says a London dispatch
to the New York Sun. The hero Is .
young British ex-oficer, Captain
Greenwood, who, having been through
very rough time during the Russian
campaign, managed to escape from
the land Of the Reds with his young
Russian wife. They arrived in Lon
don some months ago, frIendless near
" penniless and with no prospects at
all.
Captain Greenwood tried to get q
job but as previous to the war he
had lived with his parents (now dead)
In the country. and had not yet VEN
tured into a self-supportIng state OF
existence, his wage-earning capacity
was restricted to a narrow field.
Finally one day, borrowing enough
money, he put an advertisement in a
daily paper, IN which he stated that a
young English officer who had to sup
port his wife was "down and out" and
willing to accept any job. He stated
that he was country born and bred,
knew all about animals and a great
deal about farming, and was willing
to serve ION the land" in any ca
pacity.
Captain Greenwood received only
one answer, and this was from a Mrs.
Christie, resident in Shropshire. She
said she liked the wording Of his ad.
yertisement and as she was coming to
London would interview him at her
hotel on certain day. He kept the
appointment and within an hour was
engaged for a position as a sort Of
manager and overseer of this wealthy
w0man's Shropshire estate.
He and his wife now live in castle,
rent free, food free, servant free. He.
receives salary of 81 800 a year, has
the use Of horses and carriages and
Is In control of hundreds Of acres Of
land. The only stipulation made by
his generous and somewhat eccentric
benefactress is that no animal in the.
castle or on the estate shall be killed.
Fat cattle range the hills, rabbits in
fest the woods, cats raise huge FAM
lies, dogs are to be counted by the
dozen and there comes the fly in the
Ointment) rats as big as puppies roam
through the corridors and rooms Of
the splendid Tudor mansion.
None Of these creatures, nor any
bird or fowl is allowed to die by any
save natural death, and Capt. and
Mrs. Greenwood are obliged to be-
vegetarians. They can use all the
butter, milk, eggs and other farm pro-
duce that they want, but If they have
q yearning for a roast chicken or a
beefsteak they have to drive to the
nearest town and go to a hotel in or
der to crafty their desire for meat.
It Is easy to become vegetarian un-
der such delightful auspices, but Mrs.
Greenwood is doubtful about those
rats.

Paris-"It is the first. real indica-
ton that Europe is determined to for

This represents the consensus Of big
business men In France following the
preliminary meeting between Louis
LoucheGr and DR.. Walter Rathenou,
the French and German ministers Of
reconstruction at Wiesbaden. The
full details of the meeting of the two
ministers have not been disclosed in
order to prevent manipulation Of the
stock market.
Il regard the first meeting Of tho
French and German statesmen as The
most encouraging sign since the ar
mistice," declared Yves Guyot, the ia
nous economist.
1T means simply that the pressing
economic needs Of the world Of bust
ness have triumphed over the jealousy
and intrigues OF international diplo-
macy. From now on politicians must
take back seat and watch the ca
pable men of affairs attempt to oxtri.
cate Europe from the horrible mess.
e"At the same time we should be
warned against premature optimism.
The situation In Europe today de-
mands the most careful handling. AL.
though the fact that the two biggest
men in France and Germany have
met and talked like friends indicates
that France and Germany may agree
to sink their differences In order that
both may live, it should be realized
that the slightest untoward incident
on either side may undo all the good
and provoke new crisis"
Without exception, the entire Sec
ton Of the press aligned with former
President Poincare, is definitely
against any friendly movement with
Germany. Writing in the Temps. Poin-
care says:
There can be no question OF arbi-
tration or cancellation with the enemy.
Germany extends the olive branch, but
let her first execute our demands,
Otherwise our answer should come
from Foch."
Pertinax, writing in Echo de Paris,
also regards the Wiesbaden meeting
doubtfully, saying: :.
LET us hope that another muddle
does not result"
Meanwhile the British corps OF
diplomats in Paris are watching the
situation carefully"

SAYS INDIAN REVOLT
IS AGAINST UPL|FT

COLUMBUS, Sept. 13.-G. \. 81
There seems to be silent revolution
among Indians against the British
Government by native fanatics, led by
educated natives who are against the
uplift of the lower classes" said w. L.
Bancroft, of this city. Mr. Bancroft
served in India fifteen years as mis-
sionary of the Methodist Episcopal
Church.
He believes the extensive movement
against British rule in India is clev-
erly disguised conspiracy against west
ern Christian civilization.
For the last thirty years the lead
ers of the extremists have been striv-
ing hard to check the onward progress
OF western ideals and civilization in
India Mr.. Bancroft continued.
ut may be these leaders hope to Sc
cure control of the natives to exploit
the illiterate masses. Only 10 per cent
of the male population and one per
cent of the female are literate,' he de-
clared.

ANCIENT RACE TRACED

n. S.)-D.d man exist on the North
American continent in the palaeoithic
age?
This question. which has baffIed
scientists for years, may be answered
with the finding of the statue, hewH
from granite, of an ape holding an in
FAINT OF the same species to its breast,
at Selma Park, north of Victoria.
This discovery may mean the solu-
tion of many thories advanced by
scientists as to the probability of man
migrating to the North American CON
tinent long before Babylonia was
populated.
Many students have argued that
man, in the late stages of evolution,
came from Asia to the coasts of Cana
da and the United States, where the
groups were gradually broken up and
eXterminated.
