Ten Soldiers Ho1ged
 Says Secretary Weeks

 e Washington, Nov. t.-tIt is true that negro soldiers were hanged in France, but War Department records show they were executed after talG trial and conviction of offenses of such nature as to warrant hanging them higher than Gilroy's kite"
 This was the comment of Secretary of War Weeks today upon statements of Senator Watson of Georgia, that he had received a letter from d per- son in Philadelphia, who would sfur- nisa positive proof" that soldiers were hanged in the American Ex- peditionary Forces.
 Weeks said he saw nothing in the further evidence produced by Wat son to warrant credence of the seu- ator's charges that American soldiers were executed pronliscuousiy- and without due process of law. Rec ords of the War Department showe's Weeks said: that ten soldiers weI'a executed, but that all had fair trial by court martial.'

SOCIALISM DOES NOT STAND THE TEST

AdvoG9t"~ of 'chcHp moncy," which means expanding indefinitely the circulating mcdum are invited to take look at Germany. There money is more plentiful than anywhere in the world outside of Russia and there living costs continually mount due to the price in fIatom that is the coroIary tO constantly in crrasiug volume of fiat money. The average wholesale price of - staple commodities has risen another A per cent within the past four momhs and durin" the same time fodstutfS have advanced another v per cent. The Ger man mark will now buy less in the markets of the world than at any time heretofore and yct the German people never had so much mon cy as now. And in Russia, where it is casr' to @ot money than anything else, the people are starving to death
 Those sociasticaly inclined should revise their theoretical viewpoint in the light of cN- pcricncc. Never in the history of the cult have somany of the tcncts of socialism been put
 in actual practise as during the war and road- justmcnt periods; never was there such favor able opportunity to prove the soundnrss of socialist ideas. But, when put to the only test that decides a thcory-which is, will it work? -onc after another the principles of social ism fall to the gromd.

THE PRESS NOT SICK

The gentleman who was not permitted to operate d ''suvc market" allows that the press iS sick That says the New York News, is the usual howl of the maIcomtont. It was raised by Gen. CoNry, who Ird an army of the mcm- poycd to Washiugton and back in 1904 or 1915. CoNcy got rich later and began to be Hcvc that the press was convaIscont; William Jennings Bryan waS aIWay, waImg at the press So was Big Bill Haywood.
 Yet the press, ~icL, or well. has continued in business rG rrospcrrd. The reason that if has pro,pcrcd k because jt~ readers have be Iicvcd in U.
 As a mater of fact njuc-tcnths of the news papers of thc United States strive to tell the trj!rh. They succeed rather better than one familiar with the difficulties of the task would believe possible. Sometimes they cNagg"rate Sometimes thou2h rarely they color th" news. But the columns of any reputable newspaper are d reflection of the times and of the thought of the people.
 During the war almost every newspaper in the country, Republican or Democratic, Iaid aside its political prciudiccS and supported th" administration. Their editors had no high CT opinion of the administration than they 'Id after the armisicc. But we Wrr" at war; and they were for the country, and not for any party. Now, when there k much uncmplov- mcnt, every newspaper that we have read is honestly and sincerely trying to relieve a bad situation.

 Taken as a whole, the press is not only public necessity but public blessing. With out it ignorance would be widespread and the people helpless to do anything for their own protection.

To Tacoma and her Comcrcial Club is due the credit for initiating what might be made the most potent influence in the entire Pacific Northwest barring nonc-for the substantial and permanent upbuIding of this region $ foreign commerce.
 The plan is 10 form an alliance for the rN- pansion of foreign trade, the opening up of new general markets and the finding of new outlets for specific manufactured and agricuIt- uraI products of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana.

CHRISTIAN UNITY
To CURB WARS

st. Lous, Feb. 4.-Christian unity
| as means Of settling interdenomina-
tional differences and preventing fu-
ture wars, was advocated by speakers
here Friday at the closing session of
the conference on church unification.
Clergy and laymen of various Prot
estant denominations who explained the
national and international movements
for unity, now under way, urged CO.
ordination of interests in bringing about
undivided denominationalism
Rev. Frederick Lynch, of New York,
editor of Christian Work, asserted that
personal investigation in Europe had
assured him "the war had awakened a
new yearning for unity among all
Christians and a consciousness that
only united church can prevent such
horrible catastrophes as we have ex-
perienced"
The speaker declared he had heard
men say that if the Christians had
been as much interested in their com
mon kinship in the Kingdom of Christ
and had realized that their loyalty to
Christ came first, before either denom-
ination or country, as Christ said it
should, that such O debacle as 1914
could never have happened

MARY P|CKF ORD
NEVADA RECORD
IS UNDER FIRE
Attorney General At
tacks Minden Proceed
ure in Long Brief.
Principals lndulged in
Collision and Perjury,
Is His Contention.

Carson City, New, Feb. 4-In q
lengthy brief filed in the clerks Of
flee at Minden. Friday, Attorney
General Fowler, of Nevada, emphasiz-
ed the point that the subject matter
of the litigation brought to set aside
the divorce granted to Mary Pickford
from Owen Moore last March is not
the status of the movie star of her
former husband, but the record of the
proceedings itself and its regularity
that is under fire. That record at
Minden is under the jurisdiction or
control of the Judge for control, cor
rection or expunging- Hence, it is
argued, contention of Mary Pickford's
attorneys as to insufficiency of service
have no weight or bearing.
Belief Perjury, Ayers.
If this position is sustained, he
said, the principals in the divorce ac-
tion under fire INDUCED in collusion
and perjury, according to admissions
in the briefs OF Attorney Gavin Nc
Nab and 2. A. McCarran, for Miss
Pickford. Upon s,.rh hasis the at
torney general maintained the state in

Points responded to by the attorney
general in the attack made in behalf
IF Miss Pickford are:
Points Given Response.
First-that the defendant was not
summoned into the Nevada
court because she was not personally
served within the state Of Nevada.
Second-that disregarding the first
objection the constructive service was
defective in that the affidavit of the
attorney general for such service was
lot sufficient.
Third-that the law authorizes q de-
rec sof divorce in cases which the de-
endant is found" in the county. hence
Miss Pickford got such a decree it
8 good. and there is nothing further
o do about it.
Fourth-that the state Of Nevada
S an outsider and has no standing
n court to complain about the re-
ult of divorce proceedings.
