Candidates Names
To Be Published I'm
Gazette Tomorrow
Nominations Made Up To Tonight VIII Be Included In
The First List-Candidates VIII Soon Begin
Gathering Votes Earnestly.
Tomorrow is the day.


Watch for the first list Of the can
didates thus far entered in The Ga
zettes $4,000.00 prize distribution,
See that your name is included in that
list by getting in your nomination
right away.
After the names have appeared,
that will be the booming signal of the
starting gun. Those who have done
little or nothing other than send IN
their nominations will know that the
time for action has come. The search
for votes will be begun in earnest.
Now votes are easier to get than at
any other time because more votes
are given during the present First
Period than at any other time.
For example: The free voting cou-
pons that are published in each issue
of The Gazette are now worth 100
votes each Soon they will be reduc-
ed to 4 lesser number. Now a six
months subscription, delivered by
carrier in Alexandria, is worth s.
coo votes if it is from new subscilb-
er. At the last of the campaign, the
same kind of subscription will be
worth only 5000 votes-a decrease Of
more than forty per cent. The votes
are arranged in this way as pro-
lection to the candidates This plan
rewards the early beginners and
makes it impossible for someone to
come along at the last minute and
walk away with the big prize.
In The Gazette'S short campaign,
nothing is more important than an
early start for the First Period,
which is now in force. is the most
critical and valuable time of all.
Those who are interested in enter
ing their friends as candidates should
do so without further delay. Also,
those who have up to this time been
undecided should get their names in
at once.
1t is easy to get votes in The Ga
zette's campaign Readers of The
Gazette who pay up their subscrip-
tions in advance make u saving of
$l00 on the year as well as the saw
ing of bother of collectors from week
to week.
Spare time alone is required. 1t is
not necessary for any prospective
candidate to think that he or she
should devote any specified amount of
time to the campaign. Odd moments
idle time which everyone has to
some degree, can secure the winning
votes. And the management further
predicts that both automobiles will be
won by so-called busy" people. l.
is, as rule, the busy people who get
the most things done and The Ga
zette's campaign will be no exception,
VIII your name be in the list wher
it is published tomorrow? There is
yet plenty Of time to enter the cam
paign and start on an equal foot
ing.

British Situation
Laid Before u. s.
Sir Auckland Geddes Talks TO Hughes
q America Is Attempting Ad-
justment of Affairs.

Wash. Dec. 12-Great Britain has
laid the situation of the breakdown
in the London Conference of European
Premiers before the American Gov
ernment. it was learned today.
This was done through Sir Auck-
land Geddes, the British Ambassador
here. who Immediately after receiving
an official cablegram from London con
corning the adjournment of the CON
ference. went late yesterday to the
State Department and had an extend
ed talk with Secretary of State Hugh
es.
Ambassador Geddes is understood
to have informed Secretary Hughes
completely concerning the failure OF
the. short-lived London Conference,
which adjourned until January ,. the
causes for the failure and the British
attitude concerning the situation.
! In view of the circumstances, it is
believed probable that Geddes was in
structed by Premier Bonar Law to
Law the question before Hughes.
Whether the conference calls for
any decision by the American Gov
ernment or some action in the situa-
tion. is not known, and there are no
defiite indications of this so far.
There is believed to have figured
prominently in the discussion between
the determination of France to occupy
the Rhur and to put other sanctions
| into effect against Germany. This at
! titude of France and the definite re-
fusal of Great Britain to counten-
ance it were what broke up the Lon
don Conference.
1 The American Government IS dis
tinctly opposed to any such action by
France, but whether it will see fit to
make Representations against this ster
as Secretary Hughes did little more
than year ago in similar situation
is question.
The American government was ac-
tive in trying to bring about an ad-
| iustment of the serious Eurooean sit.
uation, it was declared on high au'
thority at the White House TODAY.

ESPECIAL PRIVILEGE AT WORK

Another idea OF the economic
iniquity of the McCumber-
Fordncy tariff bill which Re
publican congress threatens to-
fasten upon the people is disclos-
ed in the silk schedule. Its cf-
feet will be to increase the war
drobe bill of every woman using
silk, and that means virtually
every woman.
Woman's sweaters, stockings,
underwear, dresses and an end
less variety of other articles made
of silk can be boosted retail fifty
per cent. If this measure becomes
a law. 1t is estimated that the
nations silk bill will 90 up at
least 1900, 900 annually.
Under the present Underwood
tariff law, the silk business in the
United States has increased
three-fold. That has been since
1914. This would surely seem to
indicate that the industry is no
longer in its infancy or that it
has suffered from tariff restric
tons.
Furthermore, il is declared that
American manufacturers need
not fear competition from abroad
because the industry is largely in
their hands under present condi-
tons. The only purpose, then.
for high tariff measure is to
build higher the wall keeping out
foreign competition, not to save.
the industry but to permit it to
gouge the public by boosting
prices.
If that is what the American
silk purchaser wants. she is go
ing to get it unless there is pro-
test and protest The brand OF
special privilege is burned deep
in the silk schedule. The New
York World declares that the
clauses were actually written by
the silk interests president, and
adopted after the committee had
increased the rates for good
measure.
Predictions made long since
that special privilege" would
control the tariff bill are amply
fulfilled. But despite the fact
that the pending tariff measure
has been bitterly denounced from
nearly every section of the coun-
try, the forces of special privi-
lege" are functioning as usual,
utterly unmindful of the public's
interests.

ISOLATION IMPOSSIBLE

During the latter part of the
World War, when the punish
ment which was to be meted out
to the former kaiser was a fav-
orite subject of speculation, a
London newspaper pronosed as
an alternative to execution that
he be eNiled to the island of Iris
tan de Cunha. This is probably
one of the loneliest spots in the
world inhabited by civilized men.
Its area is 10 square miles and
it lies in the Pacific Ocean 1000
miles west of the Cape of Good
Hope, 1000 miles northeast of
Cape Horn. and 1900 miles
southwest of the island of St.
Helena where Napoleon Bona
parte was exiled.
Tristan de Cunha was thought
to be the safest place in the world
in which to imprison the kaiser
because of the fact that years
frequently elapse without a ship
putting in there, and there would
be little possibility of his COM
municating with the rest of the
world. Exile there was deemed
almost equivalent to solitary
confinement in a dungeon.
But even Tristan de Cunha is
no longer to be cut off from the
rest of the world, for a mission
AIRY has gone there with a radio
outfit. Isolation is, in fact, be-
coming impossible. The wireless
Evening capital and Maryland gazette. (Annapolis, Md.) 1910-1922, 1922-06-10

IS linking the loneliest and most
desolate spots of the earth with |
the most crowded cities.
The difficulties experienced BY |
the missionary in reaching Tristan
de Cunha illustrate what an iso-
lated place it really is. He had
to search for eighteen months be-
fore he could find ship going
anywhere near there. AT last heI
found a Japanese vessel bound
from Cape Town for the Riyerl
Plate in South America and sue
ceeded in inducing the captain tol
deviate from his course and toucnI
at Tristan.
One of the earliest settlers OF
the island was an American
named Lambert, sailor from
Salem, Mass, who took posses
sion in the early part of the last
century and declared himself SOW
ereign in proclamation in which
he said he grounded his right and
claim ION the rational and sure
ground OF absolute occupancy"
Lambert was drowned while fish
ing, in 1912, and about that time
American cruisers used the is
land as a base from which to prey
OH British commerce, and this LED
the British to occupy the island
and formally take possessions A
garrison was maintained there
until 1917. On the departure OF
the soldiers. a corporal and his
wife and two other men were left
behind at their own request and
they became the founders of the
present colony.
And now. after more than d
century of isolation, the mission
airy and his radio will bring the
island people into close touch
with the outside world.
