Criminals Using Dead
Auto Numbers
By BILL = TIC Il.


The widespread use of ''dead" auto numbers by
bootleggers and other criminals has led the District
Commissioners to ask Congress 10 pass law making
1T misdemeanor for any to fail to return to the
license office out-of-date number when purchasing
a new car, and imposing heavy penalties for failure
TO do this, well for using dead number or per-
mttng another to that known to be useless.
The audaciousness, impudence, and bold crimlnality
OF Washington bootleggers has grown to be serious
menace to the moral welfare of this community, and
their reckless driving of high powered machines

1t is thoroughly we-known in the police depart
ment that these daring criminals seldom the auto

is to deceive traffic officers who seek intercept them

abiding auto users, but the good of the community
calls for effort to check the awlessness that is

Whether it would be possible for criminals to OBJ
tain counterfeit numbers is something for the police
department to keep track Of If that could be done,
then dead-number law would be of little value

financial loss from failure of auto to buy

The automobile has become the main reliance of
shrewd criminals and moral reprobates for the carry

Rear Admiral Charles Peshan Plunkett. who
commanded the huge navy guns that the Amer
ican forces mounted railroad cars and sent
TO the French front during the war, is alleged to
be the undisputed master of expletives in all the
service.
At any rate there does not often appear con-
tester against the admiral in the use OF forcefui
language. 49,
Rut some years back there was another officer
who entered the lists against him. Each of these
navy was operating ship In the Pacitlc
when this other officer around. Plunkett, then
captain, laid off the stranded ship and observed
the seamanship of the man who was trying to get
her off He did not like that seamanship and be-
gan saying through his megaphone. The other
officer retorted. Soon they were down to the
strongest language bred Of a life at sea
Captain Plunkett spoke forcefuly through his
megaphone, then laid to while the other officer
answered There is little question but he got as
good as he sent. He felt his laurels slipping from
him Then he got AN idea.
He called an aid. He instructed that aid to
take note Of what he was to say when next he
took up the megaphone. He wanted to spill all
he had Then when the competing officer
ready to retort the aid was to blow mighty
blast on the ships whistle. In fact he was to
null down the string and tie 1t.
Thus was his opponent deprived Of an oppor-
tunity to reply and thus did the admiral retain
his laurels

BEING A GUEST.

Women who will visit at homes where there

should insist upon doing good share OF the
work.
Most hostesses will object, but 1t will be
found that the helpful guest is given more
genuine welcome than the one who has to be
waited upon all the time.
Your friends who come to visit YOU want
TO see YOU, and those whom you visit want to
see you for visit, but a guest YOU must
realize that your presence makes a change in
the daily schedule routine, not only be-
cause you are there and are bound to make
extra work but even the regular work in hot
weather is exhausting.
Even the best friend you have eventually
will resent II when you come down late in the
morning dressed in cool garb and sit on tho
porch or elsewhere in the coolest places while
she tolls over the kitchen stove preparing
meals.
Usually this is one OF the best tests of strong
friendship.
But don't try it--instead, work right along
with your hostess and help her get done in
half the time. and you visit as you work,
and YOU are douby welcome. Re responsible

one another's designs, then the
United States cannot disarm with
out risks so perilous that no sane
people would think of CHANGING
them.
There will be no disarmament in
the world until England, France and
Japan agree to disarm.
England, France and Japan will
not disarm, and cannot disarm, un-
til they are willing to give liberty
to the peoples they hold in military
subsection.
The German militarism was not
the only aggressive militarism in
Europe. 1t was only one of num-
ber. 1t was little more dangerous
because it was a little stronger.
The German imperialism was not
the only Imperialism in Europe. 1t
was only one of number. 1t was
more noticeable because it was
clumsy and noisy and ratified its
saber too frequently.
Now that both are gone, to the in
finite betterment of future Germany,
the others still exist and have trans
ferred to former allies the suspicious
and the dislikes and the envy which
they unitedly directed toward the
fallen Imperialism and militarism.
They are now, and always have
been, exactly the same militarism and
imperialism, in essence, as were the
overthrown militarism and imperial
ism of the Gar and the two Kaisers.
All their fine talk to Americans
about putting Right above Might
and delivering weak peoples from
bondage and instituting liberty and
democracy and so on, and so on, is
pure bunk.
Their only wonder and delight is
that they can still find so many
people in America to believe their
fine phrases in the accusing and
damnatory light of notorious facts.
We do not happen to be easily
victimized by sentimentalism, and
we do happen to have reasonably
correct knowledge Of European and
Asiastic governments and diploma
cies as they really are And for that
reason we shall continue to believe
that nothing in the way of disarma-
ment or of permanent peace will
come or can come from a conference
in which a majority of the principal
Powers represented have gained
their power and riches by a sue
cession of wars and by the acquisi-
tion of territories and the subjuga-
tion of weaker peoples, which they
could not rule and exploit for half
year without the possession of su-
perior military and naval force and
armament.
Let us not be deceived again by
fine phrases.
Let us go our own way in peace,
wronging no other people, coveting
no other peoples possessions, deal
ing Justly and magnanimously with
all peoples, but watchful ready and
armed against any possible attack.
When wolves are all around the
role of Little Red Riding Hood is
not one that is safe for or becoming

wv ILL the Armament Conference
w accomplish disarmament
!" We do not believe that it

Will OF can.
Why mott
Because of the five principal
powers at the Conference three are
not able to disarm without losing
subjugated lands and peoples which
they have acquired by military ag-
gression and ruled by military force.
England, France and Japan could
not govern millions of people with
out the consent of the governed, as
they now do, unless they maintained
powerful armaments to hold those
millions in subjection and suppress
their national desires to be free.
The great trouble with many OF
our people is that they still think in
terms of sentimentalIsm instead OF
in terms of fact when considering
the motives and probable conduct Of
the Powers in association with
which we waged war on Germany.
Undoubtedly our motives in enter
ing that war were idealistic. But it
is a profound mistake to assume
that the motives of the Allies were
idealistic or even tinged with ideal
ism. The motives of the Allies were
intensely practical.
Their motives were to destroy the
military and naval strength of Ger
many and Austria, which they fear
ed, and to divide among themselves
the commerce, colonies and German
and Austrian provinces which they
coveted. Russia, now out OF the
running, but then a powerful, am
bilious and aggressive despotism,
was to have her spoil in the posses
sion of Constantinople and those
straits which had so long been
barred to her fleets and commerce.
The secret treaties, disclosed since
the war. prove beyond any doubt
that while the different govern
ments talked altruism in phrases
almost as lofty as those in which
Mr.. Wilson delighted, they were, in
their secret councils, as practical
politicians as ever practiced addi-
ton, division and silence.
No matter how we Americans
NAV misunderstood European and
Asian diplomacy, European and
Asian diplomatists do not mlsun-
derstand each other. They frankly
recognize each others greed and
each others capacity and appetite
for infinite lying and false pretense.
And this mutual recognition of each
others true character and true mo-
tives makes each one afraid to let
the other buy a gun, or recruit
soldier, or build a warship without
instantly replying with like action.
They know one another, and so they
fear and distrust one another.
Look at the facts.
These governments still talk pub
lclv about their comradeship in
arms and the undying affection
bred in common struggle to
abolish autocracy, militarism and
oppression of weak peoples. The
particular militarism they sought to
abolish is abolished. Germany and
Austria Hungary are as helpless to
make war as is China. Yet the
military and naval armaments OF
England, France and Japan are far
greater than they were before the
war and are constantly being in
creased. The annual military and
naval expenditure of these nations
is more than three times what it
was when they went to war to
abolish militarism and end war.
Evidently these allies do not trust
each other any more than they
trusted Germany.
Evidently they know each other
