noticed recent newspaper reference to the effect that
so many applications had been made to the New York
Police department for permission to carry revovers
that it unlikely that those filed by private ct

UNEMPLoY MENT THE. WORLD OVER

America is not alone in her complaint of unemploy-
ment. From Denmark, Spain and other nations come
reports of idle men clamorng fer work. While in Eng
land France, Germany. Italy and, of course Austria
and the eastern European countries, the cry of the man
for the job is still more emphatic.
In every country the situation may be traced to exact
y the causenot 10 the war, directly but to the
currency initiation which attended the
How utterly the public fails to grasp the significance
of this factor is min of the glowing statements
of national wealth put forward by the press For in
stance we are told the Dearborn Independent that the
United States has gained fifty billions since the out
break of the war, while Britain fortunate in being
closer to the seat Of the disturbance, is hundred billion
dollars richer and France, contrary to the general
ton that she is on the verge of BANKRUPTCY, is thirty FIVE
billions ahead
These figures, if anything but mere guees, signh-
cant only OF the initiation to which the various nations
have resoed to hide the extent of their poverty. The
war did not add to the worlds wealth On the contrary
it caused losses of almost incacuabe magnitude and
every one of the countries participating poorer just in
proportion 10 the destruction of its property and the
penses incurred
Is it not one of the strangest most impossible things
been cut down by ALMOST half To restore it the opu-
Ience it enjoyed 1911 the labor CT every able bodied
man fer years to come would be required Yet, though
the needs of every department of life stare the face,
and the cry for the of subsistence rolls up from
the mouths of millions of starving men, and chill
dren, the directors of industry stand back and let the
wheels remain idle. The producer wants to turn the in
Aated value of his products into real value. The labor
ey refused to work unless he get as many hundred
cent dollars as he got fifty cent dollars Those most
concerned in restoring conditions the normal turn
cry direction except the right one and offer every expa-
nation but the true one.
And they sugar coat the rcpulsvc facts with the bIoai-
ed figures representing the degradation of the worlds
currency and brazeny proclaim that the world is vastly
richer because of the war
1t IS time &c down from the clouds, grasp again
the truth that wealth be produced only by labor and
go to work There IS plenty to do There is job for
every man, unless it is withheld through some unhoy
motive Worldwide unemployment must ceast, or be
followed by worldwide bcggary.

Tablets that are Nausea
less, Safe and Sure.

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds and infu-
cnza can be depended upon for full eff
fcetiveness until the liver is made thor
oIghly active. That is why the first
step in the treatment is the new, nausea
less colonel tablets called Calotabs,
which are free from the sickening and
weakening effects of the old style Gallo
mel. Doctors also point out the fact
that an active liver may go long way
towards preventing influenza and is one
of the most important factors in en-
abling the patient to successfully with
stand an attack and ward off pneu-
monia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with swallow of water-that s
all. No salts, no nausea nor the slight
est interference with your eating, pleas

has vanished, your liver is active, your
system is purified, and you are feeling

fully refunded if you do not find them

AS Sherlock Holmes would re-
mark, the Largo Bank robbery has
some features of interest. The boy
left in the bank vault is a departure
from the monotony of the safe-blowing
profession. What does he signify?
Is his story true? Or is he part of
the bandit personnel? Why was he
left? Our researches in Conan Doyle
and Edgar A. Poe's systems of de-
lection lead us TO believe that the boy
IS a genuine captive, left there by the
bandits to accomplish the very pur-
pose which his presence has accom-
plished, namely. the mystihcation of the
police and the confusion of the public.
He is the much-discussed herring
across the trail. " 1t is inconceivabIe
that criminals of the evident in,elli-
gence of these would conhde their Sc
cfets to boy and turn him over to the
police. They are probably chuckIing
over the success of their experiment.

SOLDIERS CHARGE /
MORE HANG|NCS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-Charges
that soldiers were illegally hanged,
SLOT by officers and sbrutally treated
during the war continued to pile up
today before the senate committee
investigating Senator Tom Watson's
sensational charge.
Every mail brings Mr.. Watson let
tiers and kilograms from war veter-
ans in all parts of the country, who
declare they have evidence to prove
his charges. He is tlHeling them
over to the committee and asking
that the men be summoned.
George d. Glazebrook, an enlisted
man in the navy, aboard the U. S.
S. Merrine, at San Diego, Cal, wrote
Mr.. Watson today that he witnessed
the illegal hanging Of two negro sol
diers at Bazooches. France, in the
spring of 1919. and asked a chance
"to bring the guilty ones to JUS
tice"
II can say with a true heart and
clear conscience that these two ne
groes were hanged without trial and
with the uniform of the United
States army on" said GlaZebrook. "I
talked to both of them and they told
me that they were going to be hung
the next morning. Up to the time
talked to them 1 know they were
not tried" n
Glazebrook said he could not re.
the exact date of the hang
ings, but gave the names of Lieu
tenant Lazelle, of Montana, and DR..
Perkins, a captain, NJ. C. u. S. A."
as two officers who were present.
L. C. Mason, of Davenport, Ia,
wired Mr.. Watson that he saw two
negro soldiers hanged in camp at
Saint Nazaire, France, without "a
fair trial, if they had any trial at
ALL" Saint Nazaire is not one of the
places at which the war department
show that any of the eleven
soldiers legally executed during the
war were hanged. Watson said.

illinois GOVERNOR
CASE NOL- PROSSED

WAUkEGAN, ILL.,. Dec. 29.-(By
Associated Press) - Governor Len
Small today was freed of every
charge against him except that of
conspiring with Lieutenant Governor
Fred E. Sterling and Vernon Curtis
to defraud the state of $4,000, 900
during Mr.. Sterling's term as state
treasurer.
All charges of embezzlement dur
ing his own term as state treasurer
were stricken from the records, part
ly by Judge Claire A. Edwards and
partly by the state, and the court
also quashed a charge of operating
a confidence game. Tonight Gov
ernOr Small issued a statement de-
claring that what occurred this
afternoon in the circuit courtAa-of
Lake county will lay bare to the
public mind the methods employed
and the inspiration causing these in
dictments."
The date of his trial on the one
charge remaining is still uncertain.
Judge Edwards, in his decision on
the motion to quash the indictments,
ordered the governor to trial Jan
uary on an indictment charging
him with embezzlement of 100000
during the last six months of his
term as state treasurer.
Vigorous Fight
States Attorney C. Fred Morti-
mer, of Sangamon county, and his
assistants staged a vigorous fight
to bring the governor to trial first
on the conspiracy charge, and failing
in that, nol-prossed the embezzle-
ment Indictment rather than try it
first.
The embezzlement indictments, be-
sides charging the governor with
misappropriating 100000 in state
interest money, also alleged he had
destroyed or carried away many of
tho racnrGs of tha trea SlIrerS office.

found little time to seek shelter.
Three fingers of Stinson's right
hand and one on his left were frozen.
Bertrand's hands were numb.
The flyers wore no electric suits,
depending upon the heat from the
exhaust pipes in the pilots cab to
keep them warm.
