WANT WARTIME
LAW VIOLATORS
GIVEN FREEDOM
Petitioners for General AM
nesty for Prisoners Stage
a Demonstration in the
National Capital.

Washington, Nov. lip etition-
ers for general amnesty for inn
prisoned violators of war laws to-
day utilized the spirit of Armistice
Day in another endeavor to intlu-
ence President Harding to pardon
the Ga men still serving sentences
I. under the espionage act.
With a band of five pieces play
ing the Marseillaise, and two col
or-bearers carrying American flags
at the head, the amnesty seekers,
tmore than 200 strong and with
banners, descended upon the White
House soon after the president had
Freturned from Arlington, where, in
rthe name of the American people,
he had placed a wreath on the
.tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Ihey had obtained q permit to pa
srade on Pennsylvania avenue be-
Efore the White House grounds, but
latter doing this they turned into
tWest Executive avenue toward the
White House offices, and their
TROUBLES began.
Chokes Off the Band.
The procession proceeded quietly
until it reached the entrance to
the grounds near the executive Of
fees when a husky park police
lieutenant stepped out, choked off
the band in the midst of "Onward
Christian Soldiers" and Informed
the leaders that they then were
on government reservation ground
and the permit was invalid. The
band thereupon disappeared, but
those participating in the process
sion remained with their banners
about, the grounds for an hour be-
fore adjourning to La Fayette
square, where an open air meeting
was held.
The meeting in La Fayettt
square oposite the White House
had barely gotten under way, wher
young man accompanied by
half dozen negro boys, appeared
with a new kind of banner. These
banners as soon as displayed
started a counter demonstration al
the amnesty seekers showed un
rnistakably that they resented the
inscriptions, some of which ran al
follows:

UP RECORD FOR
LACK OF WATER
Temperature Is Slightly
Above the Average Over
Major Portion of the
State.

Santa Fe. Nov. II (Monthly
Weather Report for New Mexico,
FURNISHED by United States Wealth
or Bureau) The drought of the
summer and fall continued pracu-
cally unbroken throughout the
month of October over much OF the
state only limited areas approach

northeast and east counties were
especially dry, large areas being
wholly without precipitation, While
the average for the Canadian and
northeast district was only w
inch, and the counties southwark
to Roosevelt and Chaves were quite
as low. Lea, Eddy and Otero coun'
ties, however. Jared better, fairly
heavy rains falling over the latter
county and the southeast moun-
! tain districts, and thence westward
over Dona Ana, northern Luna,
Sierra and Grant counties. The
state as a whole. however, was far
below the normal. making the
fourteenth month with deficient
precipitation (barring a small eN
cess in April), with a total def
cheney for the period of 6,8S inches
In other words only about two
thirds of the normal precipitation
has occurred.
A small excess of temperature
occurred, greatest over eastern
counties, but fairly large also al
scattered stations elsewhere. Warn
weather prevailed at the beginning
of the month and was general til
the eleventh. a. second warn
period occurred from the eight
eenth. to the twenty-seventh ol
twenty eighth, although nights
were colder, and a sharp drop II
temperature following to the clos'
of the month. The first and sec
ond were the warmest days of tn,
month, and the thirtieth' or thirty
first the coolest. Northern coun
ties quite generally had killing
frost by Athe sixteenth or seven

touched by the cold weather Of tn,

crops were generally matured, bu

THE DEMOCRATIC WAY

Controverting the statement of Demo- cratic newspaper that our proper merchant marine policy is to sell the ships for which the Democratic administration paid $3,000,- 100000 at any price they will bring and then tell the buyers that it is up to them to make the ships pay or go out of business, the Re publican Publicity Association, through it's President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr., says: "That is just exactly what we have done for the past 60 years, and the ships went out of business so far as the American flag is con- cerned. n
 "But the ships did not cease doing bus- ness. They were merely sold to owners who operated them under other flags. They took tleir freight and passenger profits to other
 countries They bought their marine insur- ance policies in foreign lands. They employed foreign seamen and trained the people of other
 nations for sea service They had their re- fpair work done in foreign lands, and bought
 their supplies abroad.
 ''In addition to all that, they helped build 1 up the trade of thescountries under whose flags they sailed. In some instances they were operated under the laws of nations that pro vided some sort of subsidy.
 t'Our plan of telling the ship owners that 1 they must sink or swim, survive or perish without any help or sympathy from the gov ernment, has not worked very well in the past and we see no reason to expect it to work in tthe future"

NO CABLE, NO NEWS

The well-rotted cable connecting Alaska with the States has once more broken south of Sitka, and the Territory is for the steenth time within the past two years shut off from communication with the Outside, messages
 being accepted at the cable offices, "subject
 to delay' -{ 1
 The cableship is stationed in the States, in stead of being stationed midway at Ketchi-
 kan or Juneau, and by the time word IS sent to
 the vessel, and she reaches the scene of the
 break a week or more generally elapses. Dur
 ing this time the newspapers must depend
 upon what they can pick up by radio, which
 has been very much reduced in efficiency by a
 cut in operating force
 Time after time an attempt has been made
 to have a new cable laid from Alaska to the
 States. but the measure is shunted to one side
 by our economical Congress, and the old line is patched up again and again Congress has
 millions for Russian and Turkey; our ships fly with aid to stricken Armenians and other nations of the world, but let sensible appro- rriation come before the members of Congress, and it is promptly squelched Enough money is lost the Territory by reason of inconvenience in doing business to pay for three cables, but lit is impossible to get our congressman to look at it this way. Apparently we have mil lions for sympathy but nothing for business.
 Many towns in Alaska are not able to use radio service on account of static or magnetic
 or deposits; others have not the business to support agitation. The cable is the one neces- .,sity which has been neglected for the past decade Despite the entreaties of heads of the system, and the patrons of the line, it has been allowed to reach stage where it is imperative that something be done, and be done quickly. In case of war or other dire straits the cable affords a secrecy not obtainable by other methods of communication, and its advantages over the radio are many. A new line could be built in such a manner that it could be con tinued for Asiatic service, and this with the help of the old line could handle all business for several years to come.-Seward Gateway.

TO PASSIONATE PROTESTS

Nothing said by public man at this time deserves more prayerful consideration than this remark of General Pershang: Strangely enough, those who appeal most loudly for headlong intervention are thase who most voci- ferously condemn any and all preparation for sudden emergency"
 This is an ironc paradox which is likely to get little attention from the well meaning clergymen ladies' organizations, pacifist leagues, teachers conventions, and others who throw their influence against all measures to make the defenses of the country secure. Yet it is precisely from their ranks that we have the demand that America shall come instantly to the rescue of any dramatically oppressed people in any part of the globe It is they who are for the League of Nations. It is they who demand that we should spring to the succor of the Armenian and the Greek. With the exception of an extremist minority, it was they who demanded that we join the allies to resist German militarism and save ciwliza- tion in Europe. It is they who are most pas sionately urgent that America shall see to it that what they think the righteous cause shall prevail wherever in the world it is i'm periled.
 Nay we ask that our idealists and ardent hunanitarians make little effort to reach an ntelligible agreement with themselyesf Per- haps they think that we can exercise benevo- hnt influence upon, gay, the Turks, by sending Tn tract or resolution. But if their mill

SATURDAY., DECEMBER 16, 1922 scRAMBL1NG THE ARMY AND NAVY

There is subject for interesting speculation in the proposal announced in the telegraphic dispatches of the past few days, for combln- ing the War and Navy Departments under the administration of one Cabinet officer, the two services to be known as the Department of Defense The quietness with which so drastic move has been advanced to the point of actually receiving the alleged 'sserious con sideration'' of the President, gives cause for suspecting the purpose behind it. The pro posal smacks innocuously of pacifism. In an obvious attempt to belittle the military services of the Government and relegate them to subordinate places in the national regime, there would appear an effort to strike blow at the nations two great arms of defense. What possible advantage could be gained by consigning the two branches of the military service to the jurisdiction of one Cabinet ot- ficer IS something that no man can say. Prop erly administered, the conduct of the War, De- partment and that of the Navy Department will each give one Cabinet member at least sufficient to enable him to earn his annual salary. As for the creation of Department of Defense, it would appear that with such a function properly the province of the entire nation, with the President as Commander m Chief of our military forces there IS slight reason for the establishment of a special De- partment of the Government to that end. It will be interesting to observe which puts up the greater howl in protest against being scrambled with the other-the Army or the Navy. And if it is true that the President is "giving serious; consideration to that pro- ceeding, which isnot believed possible, time iy suggestion would De that in doing so he prepare himself for volleys of objection from Armysyerbal artillery and Naval expletive big guns, not to speak of the srnal[arms objurga- tions of the general public. #

TODAY-To prevent further descent of the franc In the rate of ex- change, the French plan to reduce the consumption of American wheat, Frank E. Mason, Paris correspondent, writes today on s8 Frances effort to "volstead" the bread traffic. . s.a
The Cordova daily times., 1922-12-16
By FRANK E. MASoN

PARIS, Dec. 16.-"A Frenchman Is man who wears little ribbon in his buttonnole and keeps asking for more bread" Thus some wit, whose name I've forgotten, defined the Parisian. This definition will be re- membered by every A. E. F. Dough boy as having hit the nail on the head. The Frenchman used to carry his loaf of bread around with him during the war.
 And now France is putting on a campaign to Volstead bread-perhaps not bohe,dry prohibition of bread but at least greatly reduce it's con sumption. For bread is made of wheat and wheat is bought by the French in America with American dollars. The more wheat France must buy, the lower goes the rate of exchange for the franc. Apprehens- i've Frenchmen imagine that if France eats enough bread the franc will drop to the level of the Aus trian krone or even the Russian ruble.
 The Matin has been displaying daily patriotic appeals to it's readers to- cheer on the movement to re- duce the amount of bread eaten. Her bert Hoover's wheatiess program in the United States during the war is quoted and reauoted. If France could eliminate imporations of wheat from America she would compensate for the loss of exports of champagne to the United States.
 Patriotic helpful hints are pouring in to the office of the Matin editor. Ferdinand Moriyal, farmer of Val enciennes, suggests that every house wife be her own miller. His recipe for making flour is to take nice big wholesome potato, born in France tan immigrated potato would have just as bad an effect on the exchange as wheat) and place the potato care fully in the family coffee grinder. lAn hours turning and you have enough potato flour to make bread for the whole French family. French families are small, you remember. Farmer Morival doesn't say whether his farming is limited to potato rais- ing.
 In the meantime the bread prohi- bition movement is, getting publicity If it isn't making much progress. The Frenchman still eats his de- jeuner with half loaf of bread be- side his plate.
The Cordova daily times., 1922-12-16

While France is busy planning to do to American wheat what the w. c. T. U. did to French champagne, the propaganda for French wine continues in the Paris press. The Frenchman will insist that wine is what gives him health and keeps him alive-and that water is good to wash in.
 Wine supervision in France re- minds an American of the system Of supervising baby's milk in the cream cries of enlightened communities Government laboratories supplied with a generous number of inspect ors keep a sharp control of the sort of wine which is being sold.
 The Matin reports this week the seizure of 83,500 quarts of very old
 claret. But when the government agents seize wine in France they don't pour it into the gutters or put it in a government bonded ware house. { They send it. to 8 distillery where it is turned into alcohol for commercial purposes. But there if also an unpleasant side to these seiz. ures-even in France. The govern ment prosecutes, under clause in the law against frauds, the persons in whose possession spoiled wine has been found.
