DENIES FRANCE
ASKED FOR PEACE

Paris. May 14-Gabriel Hanotaux. for
merly French minister for foreign af-
fairs. has emphatically denied the state
ment by Count Won Bernstorff, who was
German ambassador to the United
States, that M. Hanotaux had said that
France was ready to make peace with
Germany in September 1914, but was
prevented from doing so by intervention
of England.
The Won Bernstorff statement was pub
lshed in Berlin newspaper and repub-
lished in the United States Taking cog
nizance of 1t, NJ Hanotaux has sent 70
the Associated Press correspondent the
following signed statement.
II ask YOU to deny as emphatically as
possible the allegation of Count Won
Bernstorff to the effect that Mr.. Hano-
taux had declared that in September,
1914, France was ready to make peace
with Germany but was prevented by the
intervention of England.
II challenge Count Won Bernstein &c
bring the slightest proof in support of
his allegation. What, the France of the
victory of the Marine september, 1910
ready to make peace, What an absurd
ity; it is a falsehood.
american public opinion will recog-
nize once more, the propaganda of ths
German imperlalists, who. after as before
the war, are working to render their
country odious to the universe. 1t is
always the same story of the airplanes
over Nuremberg falsehood first, denial
later, and finally oblivion"

BUSINESS WITH THE
TURKS should BE
DONE ON THE LEVEL
Uncle Sam Still Has a Few
Unpaid Bills Due to Banks
of ConstantinopIe for
Money Advanced
By Associated Press

Constantinople, May 14.-A serious eff
for to impress on Americans the neces-
sity of being fair and upright in their
business dealings with the Turks is being
made here by those Americans familiar
with the Levant.
1T is fact that people in the Levant
have got to the point that they prefer
to do business with any other nation than
ours" says Lewis Heck, formerly United
states commissioner here.
1T is a condition that has grown out
of our vast war business. We used to
make buyers put up their money in a
New York bank before goods were de-
livered, and then the goods sent were
often not as specified. Also, honest
American firms have lost money. become
suspicious, and blame the whole Levant
for the dishonesty of a few of its crooks.
zone Of the serious causes for dispute
has been in connection with exchange.
II the exchange wasn't right the Amer
lean house often failed to ship the
goods.
There are just as many honest houses
here as in New York. l know of several
who have lost large sums in the ex-
change fluctuations, in order to keep
their word This is true. If you do not
meet these houses half way on the mat
ter Of honesty as they know local condi-
tons better, they will beat you"
The American Chamber of Commerce
for the Levant has just taken up mat
ter affecting the standing of the Amer
lean government itself. During the war
the state department authorized the
American ambassador to draw on its
drafts used for the relief of French,
British, Italian and other subjects who
couldn't obtain funds from home, as. COM
munications were cut off. These drafts
were paid by local banks here and else
where in Turkey.
But complaint is now made that only a
part of them have been honored by the
state department, which now finds itself
without funds for this purpose.
The American Chamber of Commerce
here will attempt to secure an act OF
Con gress authorizing the payment.

BOLSHEVIkI

We like to think Of bolshevists
AS unwashed. ragged creatures,
With savage look and fearful scowl
Upon their evil features.
We picture them with teeth which
CLEAN
Through hirsute growth fantastic,
And armed with pistol, bomb or knife,
Equipped for action drastic.
But not all bolshevists, l think,
Are armed with gun or saber
And live in Russia-it may be
You have one for a neighbor.
And though we hope these persons all
Are far across the foam,
It's possible that there are some
A great deal nearer home.
Too often, in Il thoughtlessness
We act like bolsheviki
And disregard u country's laws
In sundry ways-and tricky.
We race our autos through the streets,
And speed them something awful,
We scarcely seem to realize
That this act is unlawful.
Amendment Eighteen has become
Part of our Constitution,
Yet violators every day
Go without prosecution.
We aim to be good citizens,
But If we want to show ii,
Let's stand together for the law
And everyone will know it.
It's the welfare of the many
Versus hardships of the few.
That's the lesson law and order
Try to bring to me and you.
And if we sometimes feel our lot
Is getting hard to bear,
Let's pack up and go to Russia
There's no law nor order therei
