special Christmas postal organization
is being built up by the post office
department here-at an expense of
millions of dollars--to handle what
is expected to be the largest holiday
mail in history.
Arrangements have been made for
Iexpending ,$1,O0O,O0O for extra
space on trains. Another million
will be spent for extra clerks. The
motor vehicle service alone will cost
around $5O0,OO0 while $350,O00 will
be spent for extra mail carriers.
Then added to these items are ex-
penditures for millions of stamps,
miles of twine, millions of money
order blanks and thousands of square
feet of extra warehouse spaces.
The added revenue is expected to
run over $8,00O,000.

Curzon Announces Officially

Americas Stand as Presented
By Spokesman Surprises
Lausanne Delegates
(By United Press)

Lausanne, Switzerland, Nov. 27-
America vi on her fight on the open
door in tho Near East when the
British delegation announced that
the British had abandoned the San
Reno oil agreement. The British,
they said, considered this agreement
nullified and stated it would not be
applied.
Marquis Curzon, foreign secretary
announced officially that Europe and
America were completely agreed on
an open-door policy in the Near
East.
Lausanne, Nov. 27-America gave
Great Britain, France and Italy a
hard jolt Saturday when her spokes-
man, Richard Washburn Child, de-
clared that the United States govern
ment has the support of the Amer
lean public in it's opposition to all
secret treaties and agreements, par
ticularly to those designed to create
zones Of economic and commercial
influence, such as the San Reno tri-
partite agreement of 1920 which ap-
portioned the Mesopotamian oil fields
among the three big powers.
I. Mr.. Child's exposition was merely
restatement of Secretary of State
Hughes aide-memoire of October 80
in which he defined for the benefit
of the British French and Italian
governments the functions of the
American observers to the Lausanne
conference and broadly outlined
Americas open door policy for the
Near East-Ibut it was restate-
ment under conditions that made it
sensational.
1t came as the conference was
about to begin consideration of Tur-
keys Asiatic boundaries, and it was
a clear warming that America will
not remain silent if the three invit-
ing powers insist upon preferential
rights in oil, mineral, railway and
power development in present Turk
ish territory or in that which was
Topped off by the war.

FIGHT ON TO DEFEAT !:
5. A. DICTATOR TODAY
Liberal Element of Rio Grande
de Sui Trying to Beat
Governor of State

Porto Allegro, Brazil, Nov. 27-
Liberal elements Of the state Of Rio
Grande del Sui went to the polls
today in supreme effort! to break
the power of DR.. Borges de Medeir-
os, who has been governor Of the
state continuously for more than rs
years. II. =
Opposed to the veteran dictator
governor" as de Medeiros has been
called, was Assis Brasil, ex-nninister
of Brazil in Washington, and known
as a liberal leader: A victory for
DR.. Brasil, the liberals claim, will
means the complete breaking up Of
"Borgismo" as the rule of Medeiros
has been known. n y
However, the liberals are by no
means sure that a victory will be
obtained, for, they declare, the elect
eral system of the state is designed
solely to maintain the party in pow
er and it is possible for voters pro-
tected by the government to cast a
dozen ballots each, if necessary.
Should de Medeiros be defeated,
the republic will witness the passing
of one of the most picturesque po-
litical figures in all South America.
For a quarter of century the old
warrior has ruled Rio Grahde with
an iron hand, but always building
I'D his state until it has become one
of the most powerful of the Union.
In fact the tremendous advances
of Rio Grande del Sur under the
rule of "Borgismo'' is the chief JUS
tification of the old governor for
his continuous administration.

C7en1ence. Asserts Intention II Leave Messag6
FIREMEN WILL BANQUET
ON DEAR MEAT TUESDAY
Local Plumber Provides Deer
For Repast; Said to Weld
A Wicked Wrench

Although there are more mighty
hunters in the Benidji Fire Depart
ment, it was left to John J. Doran,
assistant fire chief, to go out and
get a deer that the department men,
bers might enjoy a "get-together'
over the festive board, which they
are to do Tuesday evening.
Doran has never been credited,
heretofore, with being a hunter of
anything more than pipe leaks, but
he was missed one day during the
hunting season and next day was
proudly displaying trophy of the
hunt.
John Maitland, steward at the
Moose club, who is credited with
being a real hunter, was also on the
trip in, which Doran got his dear
meat and, according to the firemen
who know both men very well, there
was no possibility Of Doran getting
a deer with anything less than a
pipe wrench.
One other fireman, who lives in
Nymore, was. impersonating Santa
Claus all this year in the way Of
facial foliage, due to having made
bet last year that if he did not
get a deer he would not shave un-
til he did and it was not until nearly
the close of the season this year that
he was able to have the bet called
off. All of these celebrated charac-
ters, and more, will be on hand Tues
day evening to partake of the big
spread, and make merry at the ex-
pense of some of the "mighty' hunt

DISREGARDS ADVICE
GIVEN BY AMERICANS
Salute of French 75's Will
Greet Clemenceau When He
Arrives at Chicago
{By United Prdss)

(By Frank Getty, ..en' route with
Clemenceau.)
Georges Clemenceau, en- route to
Chicago to continue the battle to
win America heart and soul for
France, declared today he was an
old man with one foot in the grave
and would at no time, compromise.
Despite advices in kilograms and
letters from numerous Influential
friends in this country that the tenor
of his speeches and interviews was
giving ~otfense needlessly and was in
expedient, the Tiger bristled and
howled that he would never "pull
in his punches"
"All my life I have been fight
er, now l am an old man with one
foot in the grave. came here in
the last years Of my life with a
message. It is inside me. intend
to deliver it. Expediency has no
part in my scheme of things"
Colonel House was one of the
promin ent officials to be rebuked by
the Tiger. Telegrams from many
parts of the country urged policy
of Cancellation to conform to Amer
lean public opinion. .Clemenceau
waved aside such suggestions with
a shrug. II am sorry if have given
offense," he said. "But I certainly
cannot change my ways at this time
of life. l, can not say other than
that which Izhave come to say. It is
my way" --.-.c;..-- g..
- Friends, headed BY Colonel House,
who conferred with him in New York
yesterday, explained to the veteran
statesman how a mission of winning
sympathy for France could be ac-
complished without stirring senator
ial antagonism.
Clemenceau patted them on the
back each in turn. "That is very
fine mission for you," he said. II
must carry it on my own way"
Clemenceau, as he talked, wagged
his bristly, snowy brow up an down
and warmed to the subject.
81 didn't come here on an errand
of expediency," he said. II came
here to tell the truth. I didn't come
to say pleasant things, but to tell
America what in my opinion is true.
1 want to say the thing which in my
opinion will be helping the peace of
world. I will make no sacrifice to
expediency or compromise. I must
say what I have to say in my own
way. There is nobody in this but
myself"
