| Chicago.-Sixty men, many Of them
leaders in banking and other business
connections in their communities, will
be indicted in connection with the al
legged Charles w. French $50,000,000
"swindle trust" federal officials have
announced.
Col John V. Clinnin, assistant dis

meeting early in September to warrant
the indictments.
Evidence disputing the claim of q.

Diamond Portland Cement company,
of which Davis is president, and sign
ed with his name. 1t is dated March
20, 1921, at Cleveland and addressed to
e. ]. Coach, of that city. The letter,
after recommending French to Coach
and endorsing the Securities Develop
ment company being organized by
French at Kansas City, Mo-. says in
part:
"Other men have given Mr. French
$40O, 1000 in personal notes and l have
given him 100000 in my personal pa
per and $4,000 in cash with which to
capitalize his organization at Kansas

the department of justice, was one OF
500 600, dated Oct l, 1920. and five
for 100000 each, dated Nov. IL, 1920.

Be Solved.

Asbury Park, N. J.-SenatOr Borah,
of Idaho, urged an audience here to
help "get little more democracy in
foreign affairs. The Idaho senator,
although one of the foremost advocates
Of armament limitation, predicted that
the coming conference on armament
would be complete failure unless pub
lie opinion unlnistakably demanded re.
duction of navies and armies.
"Pry open the doors of the confer
ence," declared Senator Borah. Let
the sunlight of publicity beat in upon
the dark and secret places. Let us.
know what's going on before it has
been concluded in order that public
opinion may have it's molding and d.
rect effect. Above all, let response
bility be fixer and then let pubic
opinion lash from power those who
betray the cause.
Disarmament will be but delu-
sion, fraud veneered with tepid pur-
poses and false promises unless there
is found demanding it and supporting
II what amounts to moral and social
revolution. 1t will come only at the
command of the people united and
determined, persistent and untiring.
1T is your right. That conference
will accomplish nothing of real and
substantial worth except it be directed
and dominated by the commanding
voice. In the name of the dead upon
a thousand battlefields. in the name
OF countless millions bending under
the crushing burden Of war, in the
name of the manned and wounded
who crowd our streets and hospitals,
in the name of all who are hereafter
to inherit the earth, let lis not lose
interest, let us not give up hope, let
us rather, as people, resolve that
the conference shall not fail, that our
hearts and hopes and prayers will
brace and direct. yes, command the
men who have this fearful RESPONSE
bility resting upon them"
Old-fashioned diplomacy brought on
the war with Teutonic power, he said.
"and the same system of secret nego-
'tiations is relied upon to solve the
problems which confront u.s."
''And already the system is bearing
fruit" he added England and France
have travelled far apart in the last
three years, how far one hardly dares
to estimate. Public officials in the
congress of the United States and the
Diet Of Japan announce to their peo-
pies that great navies are necessary

occurred in North Queens street and
along New Lodge road, Belfast, and it
was necessary to send armored cars
to patrol the locality. Two bullet
wounds we're treated at a hospital, one
man having been shot in the back.
The rioting was renewed with wild

Dublin.-The Republican ministers
are busy in consultations among them
selves and with their supporters con-
cerning the Irish situation, but it was
officially announced that no reply to
the latest communication of David
Lloyd George, the British prime min
lister. would be sent to London soon.
Officials at Dublin Castle and other
persons interested in the success OF
the peace negotiations seemed unper-
turbed over the delay in replying to
Mr.. Lloyd George. 1t was admitted
at the castle, which generally has re-
ceived early news OF any decisions the
Dali Eirrean Is to make, that 1t was
not known what the latest reply OF
Mr.. DeValera and his followers would
be. Optimism, however, prevails at
the castle and likewise among a. large
section of the public.
1t is considered probable that the
reply drafted by the cabinet may DC
altered to some extent on the advice
of persons outside the Dali. 1t has
been alleged that Mr., DeValera's pre-
vious letter to the premier was toned
down before it was sent to London.
The report that Michael Collins, the
Sim Fein minister of finance, intends
to speak in Armagh is considered here
as an indication that the Sim Fein
intends to carry the battle for a united
Ireland into the "enemy's country" 1t
was said that if Mr. Collins achieved
any success EamOn DeValera and Ar
thur Griffith, who also represent Ulster
constituencies in the Northern Par
lament, may follow suit. Mr. Collins
move is considered here to be dan
gerous one, the belief prevailing that
his visit to Ulster may be resented by
the Ulsterites and lead to trouble.

CELEBRATING THE FOURTH.

Experience has been one of the great est supporters of the policy of safety and sanity in connection with the ob- seryance of the Fourth of July. Those communities which have yielded to the reasonableness of the appeal have so recognized the benefits that there Is no thought of the return to the old methods with the many fatalities, the larger list of injured and the large losses from fires. The idea of indulging mildly. but just as periodically, has merits that have made their good impression and tlre number of communities that are commit ted to the change grows each year.
 Norwich joined the ranks of the safe and sane a number of years ago and it has over and over again appreciated the elimination of the dead and injured list the following morning. There is no telling how many homes have escaped distressing scenes because of the reform n the method of celebrating, how many children have been prevented from go- ing through life without a finger, an arm or an eye or how large contribu- ton has been made to safety instead oi sorrow, except such an idea as can be gained from the reduction that has -aken place in the number injured and .he reduction of anxiety in the homes
 For a number of years Norwich ha: looked to the Greeneville section for tht thief celebration of Fourth of July There through the efforts of the people h that district where there has beer excellent cooperation the people of tht city have had an opportunity to witness an interesting parade with all the flea lures that go with the day.
 There was time when the entire city contributed to such a morning parad, and those were the days when a higI 1.,ic spirit was 10 be found on all occa s.ons. That Greeneville isn't willing t tee it die out is to its credit and it i setting an example which might well b. extended to include the entire city Wherever it takes place, however, it i one Of the forms of celebration tha deserves all possible encouragement.

AVOID THEM FOR SAFETY,

Throughout the spring reports have frequently come to the effect that the north Atlantic was filled with icebergs of varying size, and the temperature of this part of the country has been such as to make 1t easily understood In view of that situation warnings have been re- peatedly given to shipping to be on the lookout for such danger, resulting in the shifting of courses to the southward in order to show proper respect for safe ty.
 Thus while 1t does not appear that the British freighter Seapool, which was badly damaged by collision with berg 300 miles off Newfoundland, was not ob- serving due precautions 1t is plain that such care as was exercised and such watchfulness as was displayed were moi sufficient to escape the peril. Perhaps in view of the character of the menace it is surprising that more trouble has not been experienced from this same ob. struction in the lanes of sea travel, witE so many icebergs afloat in that part o1 the Atlantic.
 It was a few years ago that the IT tanic disaster occurred, but not so long ago that it has been forgotten, or that the lesson of the experience of that yes sel can be disregarded by those who art charged with the safety of lives on tht high seas.
 The escape of the Seapool from sirni lar fate was probably due to the circum stances under which the collision tool place. Apparently 1t was headon, result | ing in the crumpling of it's bow and test of Its buIkheads. With those hold | ing the vessel is creeping into port t tell it's experiences and to serve as al increased warning to others that the ice berg peril Is a real one and that safet lies in giving it wide berth.
 Tcebergs play no favorites. They Urea all alike. The best protection lies i keeping away from where they are an warnings of their presence should b sufficient without waiting for some yes seI to collide with one or another Titani disaster.
