Federal officials who have had a

were today preparing for the first
legal set-to Monday morning when
Judge William Dunn and Attorney
Blaz Lucas will have their Drelim-
mary hearings before mmissioner
Charles Surprise.
Several other violators who have
will be on hand also, including
Pauline Schultz and velna Jones.
but interest centers around the
Dunn and Lucas cases. Lucas, by
the way. is supposed to represent
the Jones woman when her case
comes up.
Just how much of the govern
ment's evidence against the judge
and lawyer will be brought out IN
the hearing is causing them and
their friends much concern. They
know that the federal men have
two affidavits signed by George Pa
vich and Gaspare Monte for they
were the ones on which their ar
rest warrants were issued
The comraint stated that there
were others who had conspired with
the Judge and attorney to violate the
law. but 1t did not give their names.
Evidently the government has those
names but the district attorney is
not going to lay his whole case be-
fore the defense If he can avoid IL.

LONDON, sept. 23.-Prenier Lloyd
George. speaking for the British
empire. declared this afternoon that
the government is opposed to war
IN the Near East. He proposed that
the freedom Of the Turkish straits

was given to the world at the first
audience Mr.. Lloyd George has tend
cred to the journalists since the
great war, says:
THE object OF Great Britains $
military action in the Near East
does not concern the future or Ana
tolia or Thrace. The object of Bri-
tain's military action IS to insure
freedom of the Turkish straits and
prevent war from spreading into
Europe.
Great Britain does not want to
make a Gibraltar of Chanak. Great
Britain desires tina. the League OF
Nations insure freedom OF the Turk
ish straits for all nations.
We are not going back on any
thing we have said. Peace must be
established. Peace is our motive.
II is essential that We hold Chanak
in order TO secure Il e freedom OF
the Turkish straits for unarmed
ships.
We want the straits to be held,
however. under the auspices of the
League OF Nations.
We want the straits controlled
in the interests Of al, the nations.
We must try to prevent the prairie
fire which devastated Asia from
crossing into Europe and lighting
the dry tinder Of the Balkans. We
have every reason to fear repe-
tition Of the terrible incidents OF
Turkish massacres IL war spreads
into Europe. There IS no knowing
what may happen unless the con-
fagration Is arrested.
TT Is essential to the peace Of
the world that effective guarantees
be obtained securing the freedom
OF the straits"
Word was received that the en-
trenchments constructed by n
British at Chanak are being extend

WHITING. Ind. Sept. 23.-Ham-

magnanimous and let Hammond re-
tain its lake frontage and Lake
Front Park-such as 1t is
Moreover Hammond can have

These liberal sentiments were ex-

WANT TO BE REASONABLE.
The expression of sentiment at
the meeting was that Robertsdale
people want to be reasonable and
Just in the matter. 1t was de-
clared that they only desired to
disannex the Robertsdale residen-
tial district and have no desire to
rob Hammond of the big taxes de-
rived from the American Maize
Products plant or the railroads at
the lake front. 1t was agreed that
Hammond was entitled to the Lake
Front park.
NATURAL BARRIER
Geographically. economic ! ! y

longs to Whiting" declared one
leading Robcrtsdale citizen. There
is a natural barrier OF distance be-
tween Hammond and Robertsdale
that cannot be overcome while
Robertsdale and Whiting are in
are in Whiting and not in Ham
mond. We do our banking in
Whiting and patronize the stores
there We have been extended the
courtesy of the Whiting library.
The Robertsdale library is over
fire station and the few books that
1t has are for children.
How foolish it is for Hammond
to plan to spend half a million dol
lars for a high school and grade
schools for Robertsdale when our
children can go to the new 100000
whiting high school and the splen-
did Whiting grade schools within
easy walking distance. The taxes
that Hammond collects in Roberts
dale are negligible as compared to
the costs of improvements. fire and
police protection and schools. Rob-
ertsdale is liability to Ham
