Weeks Refuses Permission.
For FOrtesque's Speech

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 1.-THE
Armistice Day address which John
Fortesque, British historian and the
president of the Royal Historical So
ciety was to have made today before
the cadets of the government mill
tary academy at West Point is "off. "
Secretary of War Weeks has or
dered Brigadier General Slayden,
Commandant OF West Point, to re-
scind the invitation extended by him
to Fortesque, on the ground that
Fontesque ''is not a proper person to
address the students Of government
academy"
Weeks took exception to certain
statements made by Fortesque in his
recent book British Statesmen Of
the World War" Among these We're:
Americans esteem a good bargain
even if gained by dishonorable means
to mark the high form of ability.
"The United States cannot engage
in any form of competition with US,
from athletic to diplomacy, without
using foul play. Thy must win, if
not by fair skill, then by prearranged
trickery or violence if not by open
negotiations. There is a fact. 1t
may not be pleasant, but it cannot be
denied"
AN author entertaining these sent
iments," Weeks said, "iS not consid-
cred to be a proper person to address
the students of government acad-
emy."

Committee Named At Sug-
gestiOn Of Editorial In
The Gazette.
REPORT THURSDAY
Joy Manufacturers" Take Active
Lead In Restoration Of Custom Of
Parade And Celebration On Wash
ington's Birthday-All Is Lovely.

With hearty goodwill and charac-
teristic punctuality, the Kiwanis Club
has adopted the suggestion the Ga
Zette of last week and is already at
work on plans to revive the time
honored custom of holding a parade
on February %. A committee of XII
wanians composed of Everett He'll
muth, Charles 7. Nicholson and II.
f. Gentry, all wideawake men
named by Urban Lambert, presi-
dent of the local Kiwanians, is fast
gathering together data and getting
in line everything that may make
the next celebration of Washington's
Birthday the great occasion it should
be here in the city where the Father
of His Country had his offices and
centered his extensive business ac-
tivity.
The Gazette made the suggestion
editorially and at the last regular
meeting the editorial was read by j.
William May and the suggestion inn
mediately met with hearty enthusi-
asm on the part of the Kiwanis Club
and its members Immediately urged
that the club get busy on the proposi-
tion-hence the early activity.
This committee will meet early
next week, it is thought, so it
may make report at the regular
weekly luncheon which is to be held
Thursday. If the report is favora-
ble-and every indication points to
this conclusion-it does not mean
conclusively that Niwanians will ar
range the affair IN 9i its details bus
merely that thew lend their aid
in every way. will seek the
cooperation Of {. ther civic bodies
of the city
1t is stated that the George Wash
ington Birthday Association is yet in
existence and every year on February
% makes a pilgrimage to his bier
and places thereupon a wreath. It
may mean that this association will
take active charge Of the operations
and will be aided by the Kiwanis
Club, but, at any rate, it seems al
most an assured thing that the natal
day Of Washington will be appropri-
ately observed in this city next year.
Public sentiment seems overwhel-
mingly in favor of the revival of the
celebration which for so many years
made this day in AIexandrias' life
the best of the season. Other stand
points than hat of patriotism should
prompt the citizens to take an active
part in the proposed revival of the
celebration, il is pointed out, but they
are of minor Importance
Other civic bodies than those re.''
toned should take great interest in
this celeb -aticr 70" it is said thai
Alexandria should be the one city in
the land that should take more inter-
est in this date than any other for
it is her natice son who is honored
and it was often over her streets he
made his trips during that time when
he was establishing upon this conti-
nent the greatest nation beneath the
sun. Alexandria is the logical center
from which rays of patriotism
should radiate to every corner of tho
country and the Kiwanis Club is the
center of he~ patritism and fun and
business, without a doubt

Do Not Propose To Allow
Defeated Legislators
Make Laws.
WAS REPUDIATED
Leaders In Revolt Hold That Present
Congress Should Clean Up Minor
Matters And Then Get Out And
Stay.
CBy United PresS0


Washington, Nov. 11-Democrats
today were organizing revolt
against lame duck legislation IN the
coming extra session of congress- ana
the regular short December session.
The aim of the Democrats IS TO
force President Harding to call the
new Congress to Washington in eX-
ira session shortly after March ],
1923.
In any event, there will be an or
ganized protest against letting de-
feated legislators who go out OF OIL
flee March 4, make laws and shape
policies for tie country for the next
two wears. Though under the conSti~
tuition the present congress is the law
making body until next March, the
Democratic rebels against lame duck
legislation" declare that the people
clearly repudiated the present con-
gress at Tuesdays election, and that
it ought 20 confine itself to cleaning
up minor matters and then go home.
Democratic rebels against further
participation in important lawmaBlng
of "lame ducks" will ask that Dem
ocratic caucus be called in House and
Senate as soon as the special session
convenes November 20, to determine
the Democratic program. Senate
Democrats must in addition choose a
new leader, as Senator Underwood
has announced he will retire.
The reported deal whereby the ad-
ministration would seek to exchange
the soldier bonus for the ship sub
sidy will simply complicate matters
and result in neither the bonus nor
the subsidy getting through at the
short session, in the opinion of pro-
gressive and independent legislators
who are opposed to both measures.

"sEBEN COME ELEBEN"

Peculiar significance is attached
to the two holidays enjoyed by
the bank employees during the week
by the gents who indulge IN that
innocent pastime known to many
as galloping dominoes and by
others as African golf.
In the first place the banks were
closed all day on the seventh, 1t
being election day, and again they
closed today, on the eleventh, AT.
mistace Day. "Seben come Eleben'
will be the slogan of many of these
gents on the cold fields on the out
skirts of the city tomorrow, for
these people are in large meas
ure guided in their playing by sup
ersition.

al police today halted the scheduled
march around the White House of
200, members Of the Joint Amnesty
Committee, which is seeking the re-
lease OF 81 political prisoners, still in
jail .........-
The police informed the marchers
that while they had permit to par
ade the streets they had no permit to
march on the White House grounds
because it is considered a federal gov
ernment reservation. 1t is understood

statesman who bowed and waved his
hand in salute as the cheers came

The Maid And Her

NO MOVIES SUNDA s l. ',..s &
DECEMBER THE: II THIRD !
Concert OF German Singers
Instead. Fine Vau-
deville Coming.

Who said times are dull and bad?
You'll never believe it after you see
'Too Much Business" at the Turner
Theatre tomorrow afternoon and even
ing. This comedy drama is a scream
without single bit Of slap-stick work.
It is one Of those really funny things
that will get laugh from the worst
crouch. The hero sets out to win his
lady love who really loves him but
wants him to wake up and set the world
afire with his energy. The hero, John
Henry jackson, is not particularly
ambitious young fellow but he wakes
up when the sweet maid tells him there
is nothing doing. He secures an
option on the lady's favor by promising
to double his own salary within thirty
days time.
An Unique Bargain.
Both of the young people are en-
ployed by an old crouch who hasn't
much time for John Henry but thinks
the lady invaluable and he determines
never to permit any young whipper-
snapper to interfere with his plan OF
retaining the girls services indefinitely.
Myra does not know how valuable
she is to her employer but she does
know he will do almost anything she
tells him to do so she decided to secret
ly help her lover to make good on his
proposal to double his salary and she
goes to the boss and asks him to
double John Henry's salary. The
boss agrees but happening to catch the
CLEAN of the diamond on Myra's third
finger which had been placed there to
bind the option, the old man throws
a fit and before he comes out OF it ne
has fired John Henry. The victim
thinks Myra doesn't want him to make
good and has been the cause OF his dis
missal and this rouses him to rea
action. He swears to make good in
spite of her and, of course, he does.
The way he chooses to do it is where
the fun comes in and we are not going
to tell you about that. We will only
say that an orphanage furnishes the
..Too Much Business" that does the
trick for the young man. 1t is thor
oughly clean and wholesome, one OF
the pictures recommended by General
Manager Hays as having an uplifting,
happy effect.
Three Shows.
Myra Dalton is most happily por-
|strayed by Ethel Grey Terry and
Edward Horton takes the role OF the
aspiring hero. The picture is taken
from the Earl Derr Biggers story which
ran last winter in the Saturday Even
ing Post. No better, happier way OF
spending a Thanksgiving afternoon or
evening could be imagined than to
take the whole family to see Too
Much Business Matinee at P. M,
evening shows at Z and 9.
Vaudeville Coming.
| There will be no movie Sunday,
December 3, on account Of the wonder-
lful concert of the triple quartet from
Baden. The following week the
Vaudeville Supreme Co. now playing
at the Auditorium in Minneapolis, will
come to New Ulm under the manage
ment of Mr.. Gould and will appear at
Turner Theatre December Z, 8, 8, 10.
This will be wonderful attraction for
New Ulm and everyone should plan to
enjoy this special treat.
