England Repudiates u. S. War Interview
PROTEST USE OF
"ODOR BOMBS"
AS ARGUMENTS
Olvners of Theatres
Charge Agents With
"Shake Dosvn." !"

Chicago, Feb. '9.-Use Of "odor
bombs" as an argument to persuade
owners of Chicago movie theatres
to sign an electrical maintenance
contract is charged by instigators
Of an investigation which Robert
E. Grove. states attorney. an
nounced he has undertaken.
Four theatre owners, who refus-
ed or neglected to sign the contract
were victims of the bombs" on
Monday, it is charged, and the
states attorney was told that pro-
prietors who signed have been
shaken down" for thousands of
dollars
Az explained by Sam Atkinson,
secretary Of an organization Of
movie theatre owners. the contracts
called for payment of five cents a
month for each seat in q theatre.
this payment to be applied as
dues" In consideration of this
payment all electrical maintenance
work would be done free except
that for the first six months work
which required more than an
hours time an electrician would
be paid for at the rate Of SLIPS an
hour.
Contract Scheme.
"A union business agent came to
the association about two months
ago and asked that the members
sign these contracts" Atkinson
said. "The contracts are with an
electrical company with downtown
Offices and it is stipulated that the
theatre owners are to call upon
that company for all maintenance
work."
Several of the theatre owners
who refused to sign said they en-
ployed union electricians. keeping
rat least one employed steadily as
q member of their STATS. Not all
such places, however, were i'm
mune from the bombs" it is
charged.

SOLDIER AID
nAmPERED
BY BUREAUS
Legion Head Denounces
Government Employees
se Filthy Hospitals.

Washington, Feb. 8. = Charges
that government bureaus having to
do with soldier relief are pack
ing the committees Of the Ameri-
can Legion with bureau employees
who are members of the Legion,'
were made before the Legion's ex-
ecutive committee here today by
Abel Davis, Of Chicago. chairman
of the disqualification committee.
"As a result the work of the
Legion in soldier relief matters is
being greatly handicapped" Mr..
Davis said. He added that at the
Cleveland convention, "the bureaus
licked US to a frazzle in matters
relating to veterans relief and the
Legion wondered how it was done"
Former service men are being
kept in private hospitals that are
"indescribably filthy and in which
conditions are terrible" Mr.. Davis
declared before the committee.
Filthy Hospitals.
He charged that after the men
were placed in such hospitals they
were left without visits or inspec-
tions by representatives of the pub
lie health service. He read q re-
port of a survey of hospital in
Illinois made by representatives ol
the Legion, which said that white
and negro patients slept in the
same room; that the pharmacy con.
tanning narcotics and drugs Of al
sorts was left unlocked, and that
when asked If female patients used
the same bathrooms as the males
the doctor in charge stated that
"the women only remained about
two weeks at a time and didn't take
any baths"
Service men are now to be re-
moved from this hospital, Mr.
Davis said, as result of pressure
brought to bear on public health
service officials.
Speaking on the proposed con-
solidation Of the bureaus Of voca.
tional education, war risk insur.
ance and a part Of the public
health service, Mr.. Davis declared
Heads of the bureaus do moi
get along together, nor do they co.
operate for the best interests oi
the service men. Statements by
them, which they have made to "
repeatedly, have no truth in them
They spend the greater part Of
their time getting up records, in
other words. preparing their alibis
beforehand.

Reduction Of Army Made
in Response to Demand
for Lower Taxes.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.)

Washington, Feb. 9.-N0 better
proof of the tendency to return to
normalcy in q hurry could be given
than in the overwhelming veto by
which both houses Of congress have
just passed over President Wilson's
veto the bill to reduce the army
from 280,00 to 175,00O men.
Democrats Joined the Republic
cans not because OF any desire to
take a slap at the White house but
because, as several members ex-
planned it today, public opinion in
all parts of the country is insistent-
ly demanding that congress econ
omize and reduce taxes. Neither
party dares stand in the way of the
pruning knife and while as is Gus
t0mary during waves of economy
some worth while appropriations
are lost in the shuttle, the desire to
cut down the size Of the army pro-
ceeded rather from q feeling that
for the next few years at least there
would be more than enough ex-
service men in the country to re-
sp0nd instantly to an emergency
call.
Back Of the fight for . larger
army has been the argument that
while the number Of privates might
be reduced, officers could not be
kept unless the army organization
We're large enough to hold them.
But there. too, members Of con-
gress seem to feel that plenty of
officers will be available for the
next few years at least out Of the
ranks Of the World war veterans.

tary Baker, who Of course, lives in

BRITISH DENY
OFFICIAL STORY
COMING STRIFE
Foreign Office Not
Responsible for
Reports.

Washington. Feb. s.-(Associated
Press.)-By direction Of his gov-
ernment, Leslie Craigie, British
charge here, called today on Sec
retary Colby at the state depart
ment to formally deny published
reports that officials of the British
foreign ONCE had told American
newspaper correspondents in Lon
don that Great Britain and America
were treading the path leading to
war. /.
American Reaction.
London, Feb. 9.-(United Press. J
Tho foreign Office today denied
responsibility for the statement on
Anglo-American relations made to
the American correspondents Of
one of the highest British officials
engaged in Anglo-American affairs.
The quick reaction from America
was such that despite the fact the
statement was made by this high Of
fetal at the foreign Office, the fol-
lowing comuniQue was issued:
"The statement on Anglo-Ameri-
can relations, quoted in the English
press as appearing in the Ameri-
can press, was made without the
authority or knowledge of the
foreign Office and does not, in any
way, represent the views of the
foreign Office upon the present or
future state of relations between
the two countries. On the con-
trary the foreign office is confident
that any questions arising be-
tween Great Britain and the Unit
ed States, can well be settled with
out difficulty, whether with the ex-
isting or the succeeding admins
tration."
Statement Was Made.
The foreign Office statement, it
is noted, does not deny that the
statement was made but declines
to accept responsibility for 1t. The
statement was made in the pres
ence Of many witnesses. The Unit
ed Press dispatch quoting It was
submitted to the foreign Office on
Tuesday and was formally approx
ed as being a correct report of the
interview. The United Press was
further informed that the foreign
Office had no objection to the man
ner in which the dispatch was han
died when the interview was Civ
en-, the only proviso being that the
! name of the ofiicial should not be
used. The reaction from America
has been given widespread atten-
tion in the British press and re-
suited in the foreign Office dis
claiming responsibility for the ac-
ton of its representative.

Pretoria, Union Of South Africa,
Feb. s.-General Smuts. prime min
lister Of the Union Of South Africa.
was elected to the house Of assem-
bly, from the District Of Pretoria,
West, in the elections held through
out the union yesterday.
Returns received mp until an
early hour today indicated the
South African party. under the
leadership Of General Smuts, had
won = victory. There was some un-
certainty as to the vote in the ru-
raj dktricts, but the South African
party seemed assured Of q good
working majority in the assembly.
Tuesdays elections in the Union
Of South Africa were considered
as vitality important to the future
status of that British dominion.
General Jan Christian Smuts, prime
minister of the union, headed the
South African party. which repre-
sents the larger British element Of
the population and Dutch who be-
lieved that in the union had found
the solution Of the political prob
lens Of the country.
General Hertzog sponsored a
policy which virtually amounted to
secession from the British Empire,
and numbered among his followers
many of the men who fought with
the Beers against Great Britain.
Frederick H. Cresswell was leader
of the Labor party during the cam
paign, and it was charged that a
strike was called in the Rand dis
trict for the purpose of sonsolidat-
ing the ranks Of the labor organiz-
ation.)
Labor RevefveA
Capetown, Feb. a. Enormous
mAjorities were given the South
African party In Durham and Cape
town yeaterday, while the Labor
party suffered . sevore reverse IN
the Rand district. II CApetONh the
South African party gained two
seats, in Durham 3, in the Rand 8.
and In East London !.
The victory Of the party headed
by Premier Smuts is attributed to
the fact working men voted against
the secession issue raised by Gen
eral Hertzog, and did not pay much
attention to sectional issues raised
by labor leaders.
