Lee Hammond, Taken in Connection
With Hold Up on Reservation,
Is in the County Jail.

Willie o'Connell. detective of the
Pensacola police force. yesterday ar
rested Lee Hammond, 17-year- old
negro boy IN connection with the hold
up staged Saturday morning on the
government reservation, when w. T.
Carson, a CheroICola salesman was
relieved of s28.10 in cash
Officer O'Connell, Deputy Cuyler
Mcmillan of the government forces,
Chief Frank of the local police force
and Captain Staten of the Naval Air
Station police, have been on the look
out for Hammond since the robbery,
it being almost certain that the negro
was the one who had committed the
crime
Yesterday Officer O'Connell located
Hammond in the north end of town
near the Stearns Lumber Company.
Not being quite sure that the negro
was Hammond the officer questioned
him, asking him his name. The negro
gave a fictitious name, and when ac-
cused of being Hammond. made stout
denial, but ONConnell brought him in
to the station for further investiga-
tion.

ficers who knew him finally admitted
his identity and according to the Of
ficers. made a clean breast of the af-
fair, duplicating another negro, who he
said was the real mover in the hold
up.
According to Hammond, the other
negro, who is older than he by nine
or ten years, framed up the act, and
the two negroes were to meet Mr..
Carson near the bridge on his way
back to town and then to rob him.
Hammond says they did this, but that
the other man took the money, he not
getting any of it.
He also told where the gun used in
the robbery was hid away, and later
Deputy Mcmillan and Captain Staten
located it on the reservation in the
home of a negro named Jackson. The
gun was loaded with two exploded
shells being among those in the gun.
Hammond says that he spent most
of Saturday night at the Riverside
cafe. a negro restaurant on Tarragona'
street, and that while there several
policemen passed by him but did not
recognize him.
The negro was locked up in the coun
ty Jail last night.

Found an Egg.

Another mammoth mares nest has been uncov-
cred up on Capitol Hill In it is an egg Of unusual
dimensions. 1t hatched, but bears the
name which has become familiar as disclosing the
proprietary right in such cruit crops-Woodrow
Wilson
1t was first discovered that Great Britain had
suggested to this government the mutual cancea-
tion OF foreign debts. That was bad enough But
this shows that President Wilson at the time of
the peace negotiations, promised to recommend this
il the Senate ratified the treaty with the league of
nations covenant
The Foreign Relations Committee Of the Sen
ate is said to have known Of this all the time
With admirable sclf-restraint they refrained from
making it public, not to save Mr. Wilson from i'm
Peachment something worse, but to save the in
ormant from having to deny that he ever told it,
as official ethics would have compelled him to lie
about it.
OF course great many good intcntioncd and
patriotic, if mistaken, Americans have advo-
Gated this very thing. They have been OF both par
ties and as to the French debt, have had a very
siderable following. OF course also the debts due
the United States could be cancelled only by act of
Congress- OF course, too, the ratifying OF the
treaty and covenant would have had no possible
relation to any such fiscal action.
OF course positively knows if Mr.. Will
did or did not honor his heart, if not his head
by any such actual promise. Neither is it init
mated that he did this binding in any sense upon
Congress- pledging Congressional action.
Would it not be just we'll if Congress
buokled down to business without having Wilsonian
nightmares every fifteen mutes and without keyng
their temperamental proclivities so to the Wilson
pitch.
There was President not long ago who lost

Mysterious Process of Disarmament.

Congress is fully committed to the policy of
disarmament. 1t is recognized that there is ma
tonsl demand for this. Probably the United States
can stand the cost of huge armaments, but the
people have revol~d against this cost and against
the principle OF great armed establishment.
1t is fully realized Also that even if this country
can stand the tax, other country can. 1t is as
fully realized that the quickest and surest way to
economic soundncss and world buying power is
through disarmament. This people want the money
now spent by foreign governments in armies and
naves-used, to put it sorddly, in the purchase Of
our products and payment of debts due.
Congress heard Sir Phillips Gibbs and appre-
ciates that he spoke truly when he said: The
United States pays the piper and she has the right
to call the tune If she calls the tune of peace,
the nations of the world will rise up and dance
to it."
So it has cut the army to $4,000 men and gone
on record for the greatest navy in the world CEN
tered around capital ships a cost of around $5o-
100000 each. 1t is rightly argued that this country
does not need great army for a few years, it
has now 100000 trained in the great war.
Three thousand miles from any possible foe, all
that b needed just for defensive or offensive
war, is the greatest navy in the world. With a
handful Of foreign coast line, compared to Great
Britain, VIC must have great navy With no
mandatories when she has half dozen or more, still
we must have as great navy
Roosevelt said did not need as great a navy
as that of Great Britain. But he is dead and does
not know the present processes OF disarmament
He cannot know the force of this national demand
and the devious ways essential to compliance
with it.
OF course it must be conceded that if the United
States must have the greatest navy, France must
surely have the greatest army and no other Euro
pean country should fail to have large military
establishment, for offense Oh no. only as is our
greatest navy, for defense.
The Lord is said to work in mysterious ways,
His wonders to perform But at that he has nothing
on Congress in its plan for disarmament.

YOUNG WORKERS
GAINED THE VICTORY,

young workers of the National

Laughlin, San Francisco lawyer and
veteran worker for equal suffrage
who arrived in Washington yester-
day for the first annual convention
Of the National Woman's Party.
There would be no question as to
the advisability of retaining the
present organization as a vehicle for
further work in bettering the status
of women throughout the world
were 1t not for the avowed inten-
tion of Miss Alice Paul to with
draw from the active chairmanshir
of the party which she built up, ac-
cording to Miss LaughiSn.
Miss Laughlin, who is a member
of the California Republican A ate
Central Committee and who work ed
for suffrage both in Colorado and II
California knows the history of tho
feminist movement in this country
as few others.
One of the first OF the modern
school of American fcminists, Miss
Laughlin is a graduate of Wellesley
College and holds a degree from the
Law School of Cornell University,
She was here in Washington twenty
years ago. serving under Mckinley

Return of Prosperity.

THE United States is the richest country in the
world in bulk wealth. 1t is Of vastly more
L importance that it, also, leads the world in
the even distribution of this bulk wealth among its
people II is the country OF the high average OF
the purchasing power of its people.
The social and industrial system here is so or
ganzed that any marked increase in prosperous
ditiens is reflected through the entire population
When 1t is declared that liquidation depression
has passed the low point and conditions
ering that prosperity Is returning, this does not
for the few, but for the many
Depression always comes first to financial circles
and the producers OF materials. They the
first to be hit 1t is nearly d year since the con-
sumers began sort OF retail boycott, they stopped
buying. 1t was latter consequence that the banks
were ordered to curta credits The machinery

Wholesale prices fell until there has been a OF
IS to so per cent The retailers pricc-sashng has
followed and all authorities declare stabiIiza
ton has begun where depression began. Confidence
Is returning. The outlook is bright.
This does not mean higher prices to the con-
sumcr. 1t means, on the contrary, that the lower
level will continue and that the has resumed
buying on this assured low price basis Pcrmancncy
is the keynote.
What some facts which show the absolute
seBndness Of American conditions In 1920 FIVE
staple farm crops made production records.
The crop was 100000 bushels above the
previous high record in 1917. Rice exceeded the
record BY 100000 bushels; tobacco by 10000 900
pounds sugar bects by I,Ioo,ooo,OOo pounds; sweet
POTATOES by 100000 bushels; oats by 10000 900
bushesj wheat and rye did reach the high mark,
but rye doubled the Prewar crop and wheat was
well over 100000 more than 1916 and 1917.
What true OF crops was in large measure
true OF minerals. Petroleum production increased
100000 barrels; coal less than per cent
below 1919; copper exceeded 1910, as did pig iron
by several million tons.
1t must be remembered that all real wealth
comes from the land in these two forms OF foods
and minerals 1t is in these forms most widely
distributed. 1t goes directly into purchasing power.
Wheat alone added $9I48,ooo,ooo to the national
wealth and while the farmers did not get price
equal to that OF 1910 they got over $1,000 900 900
more than for the prcwar crops. What the
fact to wheat true in proportion to
cotton
The farmers as producers OF raw materials
were with the holders of stocks and bonds, the cap
aliss, first to feel the pressure OF liquidation. But
they face with lower prices for what they buy
and will to the harvest with lower labor
cost.
All Of this is encouraging; OF it is dis
Couraging 1t all points recovery; to good times
to prosperity. There is no room for the glooms;
fer continued depression for more than the tenn
porary period OF price transition, in a country which
has annually poured into it >torehouscs such an
enormous amount OF broadly distributed new
wealth.

Let the Dead Bury Their Dead.

1t makes little difference to the world of today
what the former Kaiser thinks about anything 1t
Is matter Of indifference as affecting world al
fa5 whether or not he is reconciled to his exile;
whsther not he wed the war; or what his per-
sonal opinion is to the of German defeat.
The recent interview with him published in The
Herald, is interesting as the reflex OF human odd
ity% As such he always had this same interest to
students analysts Of human character. He is
more unique in exile than in power and his judg-
meat has more value; it merely has less weight
or consequence
= Nor has he become religious fanatic" He
never and never will be a religious anything
other than Journalist He has always been con-
sumed by his own too-much. He has suffered from
an insrown and badly distorted ego. That sort OF
man is always physical and moral coward.
1t is but significant of this that he now bames
German defeat on my people" who "have betrayed
themselves their God and me" He bames every
body and everything but himself Because OF this
betrayal God scourges the world" he himself is
innocent, he has but been betrayed and his partner
is evening accounts for him.
sHe pleads guilty to cowardly weakness when
he excuses himself for beginning the he does
for losing it. He says: THE sword of peace was
struck out of my hand by my best friends" That
sort Of hand has business fooling with a sword.
This absence of strength of courage, of
decision followed him through the war. He was
not leader; he did not inspire his armies; he
aeyer. IN place OF danger he was always double
