 AT IS-SUR-TILLE

Washington, Dec. 9-Evidence in- tended to shatter the statement of the War Department that there were diers at Is-Sur-Tille. in France, was prepared today by Senator From" Watson of Georgia, for presentation to the special Senate committee con- sidering his charges of the illegal eX- cautions of soldiers.
 Watson introduced a letter written by J. R. SwiegOod, commander of the Westiv1le, Okla, post of the American Legion, who wrote:
 ''T. A. Sinclair, of the 5Sth Engi- neers, who lives at Westville, Okla, saw the execution of four soldiers at IS-Sur1Tille.'
 Watson explained to the committee that he had not yet had time to get in probably ask that Sinclear be sub- poenaed as soon as he could get statement from him.
 Watson announced he had a num- Der of other letters concerning hang ings at Is-Sur-Ti1le and that writers of these letters state Friday was known as hanging day at IsSur- Tille.''
 A case of a conscientious objector who was ordered killed by an officer of the S09th Machine Cunt Battalion near Vitry, France, in August, 1918, was cited in a letter written by was a member of the 7Sth Division.

RAIDS NET ENORMOUS
 BEER SEIZURE

Louisville, Ky, Dec. 9-Prohibition agents in Kentucky have just com pleted one of the most extensive raids in the history of prohibition enforce ment in the state.
 Whiskey bandits likewise have just completed one of the most successful distillery raids ever made in Ken lucky.
 Instead of a breathing spell today. after a busy week in three Kentucky counties, federal agents are off in search for the upward of a score of whiskey bandits who last night got away with 194 cases of bottled in bond, and ten barrels of whiskey from the T. B. Itippey Distillery at Tyrone. Ky.
 Early in the week 30 prohibition agents invaded Nelson, Washington and Marion counties When the agents came out late yesterday the raid had yielded seven prisoners, ten stills, 3S foundations were broken up and 3O,OO0 gallons of beer and 62 gallons of moonshine destroyed. War rants for a number of other alleged law violators have been issued.
 The bandits in raiding the Rippey DistilIery, captured four guards and three passersby and after handcuffing them put them in a vault in the dis tillery office while they loaded the whiskey into motor trucks and auto mobiles and drove off.

ing up the whole institution.
 In nc sense would any pos masters contact or responsibility to the De- partment be interfered with. It would simply mean that the smaller offices and the Department could be relieved of much detail in accounting etc, with the result that both would function with less expense, less delay to gov ernmental business and with more time to working out real problems of service.
 Mir. Hays holds that one little word red tape,' with all it conveys has done more to creat a lack of confi- dence and respect for governmental operation than all the dis1oyalxy prop aganda ever issued.
 As you know, Bridgeport has been selected as the Central Accoun ing office of this state and is, in a sense, @ miniature department as now or ganized. For that reason, dhe people of Bridgeport are especially interested in the Standardization plan Yours sincerely,
 c. F. GREENE, Postmaster.

Former Y Yankee Gridiron Star Holds
 Life of Millions in His Hands

Though the day of the absolut 9 monarch mas seen it's twilight, out ira the regions where the most powerful or modern rulers, the Car of Russia, until recently held undisputed domin- ion, former Yankee football star literally holds the power of life and death over hundreds of thousands of people.
 It was 8 long. long trail that wound through the years from the time when Ernest A Narrow. of Binghamton, IN. I-. was a gridiron hero at WeS- 1eyan University until, after years of service as Congregational mission ary in Turkey, he succeeded Col Wil- liam N. Haskell as Director General of the Near East Relief for all of Russian Transcaucasia, the hero of 8 persecuted, starving, dying race. And it was-and still is for that matter one that has brought a hundred thrill Ing adventures
 A Thorouah-Goins Democrat Despite the power he holds. Captain 'Yarrow-he served with the Amer lean Red Gross in Siberia-is 8 thor ough-gofng democrat. He was too good football player back in 1901, or whereabouts, not to be- And this life or death business does not appeal t0 him. As a matter of fact he only wants the power of life for the thou sands of Armenians whose deStinies he more or less controls.
 But death enters into his relations with them in a very considerable de- gree For all that keeps thefn alive gre the relief measures he direets and the food and other supplies ne can give them Since these are limited and since the need knows no limit, he has to choose those who are to be helped and those that must go on Hv- Ing as best they can.
 Looks to Home Folks
 With starvation and disease now ravaging the region this is almost Impossible to do. He has chosen more than one hundred thousand children, and is trying to broaden his choice as the folks back home permit"
 After all fl Is the folks back home" who really hold the power. The erst- while Wesleyan football star is only their agent Way back in a New York office there is one whom he ac- knowledges as 8 superior in weighing life against death. That is Charles V. Vickrey, general secretary of the Near East Relief. who directs the eff forts of the Captain and his asso- ciates, and gets them the funds to carry on this work of mercy. But even Vicrey acknowledges, in turn, his superiors in "an the folks back home." the American People, whose agent the whole Near East Relief organization is.

 Bridgeport, Conn.,:
 Dear Sir-For the information of the public, who are asking many questions concerning the scope of the decentralization plan of the Post Off, fec Departm ent, I believe the facts as set forth in resume of the Post master Generals announcement dis tributed by President Purdy of the National Association of Postmasters will furnish the desired information.
 Among the things thar the change will bring about says MT. Hays. are: Quick settlement of claims through local post offices, eliminating delay attendant upon submission to Wash ington.
 Simplifying accounting systems, large part of work being absorbed in accounting divisions of central ac- counting post offices. eliminating du- plication and delay at Washington and opportunities for errors and shortages in smaller offices.
 Schools of instruction for post masters and other employees.
 Frequent conferences in Washing ton between department offices and those charged with work in states.

Of1- cials of the Armenian government have declared that a million lives have been saved during the period Of Captain Yarrow's relief administra- ton in the Caucasus. Heads of the various religious sects to which the Armenian people confess adherence, add their testimony to that of the government.
 The Reverend Father Ga1adoozian, leader of Roman Catholic Armenians, speaks of Captain Narrow in highest terms.
