STRIKE SITUATION
Open Season Now On and the Itch
Seems to be General.

1t looks as if with the coming of
the dog days the people of the coun-
try have all been infected with the
strike fever and no one wants to work.
The easiest way to quit without los
ing your job is to strike in a body
and go back in body so they arc
just doing it all over the country. 1t
has reached the point where one can
not tell what to expect next when you
pick up the morning paper-or wheth-
er there will be any paper to pick up.
The coal miners strike is so old that
it has gone into decay and the miners
have got tired and are going back to
work at the old wages after losing
five months pay. The railroad strike
warns up one day and cools off the
next, and no one knows what is really
coming. At any rate the strikers have
lost more wages now than they can
possibly regain in five years even if
they should be able to keep up wages
and freight rates. It looks now as if
diter all lle mart up anu eASit~iiSh''
murder and destruction, the end of the
heated spell will find the country go
ing along again about as usual. Both
the strikers and employers will be
poorer in pocket and richer in expert
ence, and the general public will be
assessed to pay the bill. Some meth
cd should be found to settle industrial
warfare in a plain horse sense man
ner. This question is far more vital
to the people Of this country than set
tling world wars.

American Legion Dance.

The fine new armory floor will be
laid in time for the big celebration
next week as a special crew of work
men is rushing the work to that end.
The American Legion will give a
grand dance on each night of the cele-
bration at the armory. There will be
fine music in attendance and every
thing possible done to assure the con-
venience and pleasure of all who at

ed by the Women's Auxiliary of the

BRISTOL FAMILY IN TRAGEDY
Excu rsiOn Party to Brandon Lake
Ends in Worst Disaster in His
tory of County.

A Sunday picnic and fishing party
of Bristol people met with a disaster
Gus end at Brandon Lake last Sun
day. Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Williams
and little three year old daughter Of
Great Bend, Kansas, were visiting
aldson at Bristol A Sunday picnic
party was organized consisting of the
visitors, Mr.. and Mrs. C. r. Donald
son and five children, Mrs. Donald
sons sister, Mrs Gertrude Parks, and
her children, and j. A. Donaldson, ia
ther of Mrs. Donaldson and Mrs.
Parks.
The party spent Saturday night at
the lake and Sunday morning began
to take rides in a small boat that was
on the lake. C. R. Donaldson, Mrs.
Parks and some of the children made
a trip around the lake and returned
safely and then ]. A. Donaldson, Mrs.
C. R. Donaldson, Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liams and baby started on the second
trip. Everything was all right as
long as those on the bank were watch
ing. C. X. Donaldson, who is station
agent 1T Bristol, had been called back
to that city by messenger. Soon
after he left attention was again at
tracted to the boat which was seen to
be turned over. Another boat was Sc
cured and hurried message sent to
the Lamar hospital for the pulmoter.
By the time any of the bodies were
recovered il was too late, however, for
any hopes even of reviving. All the
bodies but that of Mr.. ]. A. Donald
son were recovered in a short time,
but it was late Monday evening be-
fore his body was found by a party
that went from Bristol for that pur-
pose. Tie little city of Bristol was
thrown into deepest mourning by this
terrible disaster The lakes of this
section have claimed a long toll of
lives in the past twenty-five years. but
never such a single days death roll
as this one.
Mrs. Parks was in Lamar on Mon
day to make some of the necessary
arrangements for shipping the bodies,
and said that no one had seen the ac-
cident or could tell how it happened,
except that as the boat was found
bottom side up it was supposed to
have been tipped over in some man
ner. All of the party were so over
come by the terrible calamity, that
had wiped out one family and left an
other with five little motherless chill
dren, that it was hard to realize just
what had happened.

diers Besie9ed at Azizia.

ROME, March IL (Associated Press) -
A revolution on larger scale has
broken out in Tripoli, according to a
dispatch to the newspaper II Monde
from it's correspondent in the capital.
The rebels have cut the railway In many
places and attacked the Italian garri-
sons. At Azixia two companies OF
Italian soldiers surrounded by rebels are
receiving food dropped from airpianes.
The Italians have evacuated Chatter and
Zavia- The latter Is on the coast about
125 miles east OF the city Of Tripoli.
A Tripoli dispatch by way OF Rome on
February 13 told Of fighting between
rebels and the italian forces at Misurata.

Austrian Government that q loan will

like a bombshcil upon all parties. which

announcement.

could one suppose" II says. that they
would invoke now pretended right
whose inanity is proved by their ST.
lence?"
Disarma ament Pressure.
JACQUES Bainville. writing in La
LSberte, says the demand was made in
response to American public opinion.
He adds that American opinion calls
for European disarmament. Mr.. Boy
den's demand was intended to make the
Allies realize that their military ex-
penses are unproductive and harmful
and that they absorb all reparations.' %
He warns the French that the American
note must be taken seriously.
A French semi-official statement says
that the American claim comes exactly
at the moment when the accord based on
the Cannes project was about to be
realized, and that It tends to destroy the
whole system Of reparations so labori-
ousiy elaborated by the allied experts.
The Echo de Paris declares It u un-
doubtedly too late TO give the United
States Its share of the ono billion gold
marks paid by Germany on August 80
last. as Belgium and England already
have received their allotments The
Allies certainly cannot refuse to give
the United States its due. tho newspa-
per adds, but this question must be de-
termined: of what utility Is an Amsri-
can army on the Rhine IL Il isn't in
political cooperation with the allied gov
ernments?"
The Matfn thinks the American de.
mand creates paradoxical situation in
law, because the United States is at
the same time responsible to and inde-
pendent OF the Allies-responsibl in its
claims and independent in its politics
regarding Germany with which 1t has
a separate treaty" The newspaper de-
clares that II the United States persists
in this claim the Belgian priority and
the sums the French Government ex-
poets are appreciably discounted.

Washington, ID. c., March III.
Charles e. Hughes unbosomed himself
to-day of what he conceives to be his
duty as Secretary of State. He con-
stantiy reminds himself. he said. that he
is a servant. clothed with temporary
authority. striving constantly to do the
best thing for the people. He laughed
about the frequent references to him as
the new Hughes" saying that things
are happening to him now that hap
pened to him long ago in Albany.
The occasion for the exceedingly hu-
man declaration by the Secretary of
State was the presentation to him Of
a pair OF gold shears by a group of
newspaper correspondents who wanted
to show their appreciation of his
kindly efforts to help them during the
recent International conference. Mat
thew f. Tighe. veteran correspondent,
made the presentation speech.
Nothing Is more difficult than to
maintain the proper contact on the
part Of a public officer. particularly in
the great departments. with public
opinion" Mr.. Hughes replied. "Of
course 1t is essential that nothing should
be done which would impair adminis-
trative work by improper or premature
disclosures. A public officer must re-
mind himself. and he ought to say
every morning as he approaches his
task: L am a servant and 1t is my
business to see what 1 can do for the
American people. / am not a boss,
and my little authority or great
authority that I happen to have for
q day is not a personal perqulsite.'
so, 1t Is obvious that we have to
maintain this balance. It isn't always
easy to decide what should be done. and
there has to be mutual confidence be-
tween those who represent in their con-
tact with the department the public
opinion OF the public and the officer who

Back to Cannes Agreement.
The tendency Of the Ministers to go
back to the Cannes agreement almost
textually, which became known during
the day, caused considerable comment in
French political circles. The fact was
pointed to that M. BRAND fell as Pre-
mier on the criticisms OF his policy at
Cannes.
The American memorandum, the text
Of which was made public, states that
the cost of the American Army Of Oc-
cupation UP to May I. 1921. was about
$241. 100000. 1t sets forth that the
allied governments. with the exception
perhaps Of Great Britain, had received
payment for their armies OF occupation.
and that probably the British also were
covered by a preceding arrangement
Therefore, the memorandum states, "the
United States counts upon obtaining In
tegral payment for the cost to May l..
with interest. before any part OF the Ger
man payments are distributed for rep
arations or other object"
The American note concludes by stat
ing that the United States would demand
the entire payment for current ex-
penses, but that IL it received assurances
OF payment It foresaw no difficulty in
agreeing with regard to the practical de-
tails for payment
The American demand was treated by
the Paris afternoon newspapers, as by
the morning editions. as bill which the
Allies had not expected.
Tho semi-official Tempe says the
United States Is certainly entitled to re-
endorsement. but she should collect from
Germany. inasmuch as she did not sign
the treaty OF Versailles and subsequent
agreements. and made a separate treaty
with Germany. The Temps remarks

manded payment In May, 1921, IL she

PARIS, March II ASSOCIATED Press).
The Allied Finance Ministers signed
an agreement this afternoon for the dis
tribution Of the first billion gold marks
of German reparations. The agreement
disregards the American claim Of prior
ity for its expenses in connection with
occupation Of the Rhineland so far as
the actual sharing of this money Is con-
cerned but recognizes the claim by =
special clause. which states that all the
agreements on this question are subject
to the American rights as the various
Governments may establish them. The
Finance Ministers consider that they do
not have power to decide this question.
The Ministers decided. after long dis
cussion. that the question was not for
the Reparations Commission to decide,
because that body was acting solely
under the provisions Of the treaty Of
Versailles. to which the United States
no longer was a party. Consequently
1t was decided that the question was one
for the various Governments concerned
to settle.
The Finance Ministers also concluded
that 1t was impossible for them In any
case to reopen the long and difficult
deliberations which resulted in the pres
ent agreement. so they could only re-
serve the American right and leave the
question for diplomacy to settle.
