Says Masks Aid in Politics
The belief prevails here that the
league soon will become a branch OF
the Ku-Klux Khan. Officers of both
orders deny this emphatically, how
ever.
Present officers of the Klan have
been made honorary members of the
women's league, it was announced by
Mrs. Gibbs. She said the order de.
c;ded to wear masks because women
can learn more politics that way"
1t costs about $40 to enlist with Mrs
Gibbs's fraternity. That the order was
formed purely as money-makina
scheme is the opinion expressed by
Mayor James J.. Key ard other city
officials. They point out that numerous
organizations Of this kind have beer
organized since the Ku-Klux Klar
made such financial success.

bills is not yet clear, but it is the
general feeling no comprehensive re-
vision Of the transportation act is pos-
sible by March 4.
While the Administration leaders
are discussing their plans for the win
ter, the progressives in the Senate,
and to some extent those in the House,
including the farm bloc leaders, are
talking among themselves informally
about their program. 1t differs radi-
cally from that which the Senate lead
ers are talking about and taking up
with the President.
The Administration is seeking to
avoid an extra session next March.
The progressive and farm bloc chiefs
say they want an extra session and
the reason they want it is that it will
give them an opportunity to make a
real fight for a complete overhauliag
Of the transportation act and for q
series Of agricultural measures. While
they expect farm credits legislation
this winter, they say this is only a
beginning of the program they want.
Part of their plan is to fight the
ship subsidy bill to the limit and pre-
vent vote on it before March 4 If
possible. Also, they propose to throw
over some OF the appropriation bills
and thus force an extra session.

Ukrainians Assail Tiger

An open letter to M. Clemenceau was
made public yesterday by the Ameri-

replying TO the "Tiger's" assertion that
France, after liberating Europe, could
not wish to be its dominator.
"Ask the Ukrainians, especially those
of eastern Galicia, and you will find
of, what sort is French liberation" the
letter reads. "Was it TO liberate Eu-
rope that France supported the Polish
army, which swept the country with
pillage, murder, desecration of
churches, imprisonment and other in
tolerabie wrongs? Was it not France
that Joined hands with Poland to re-

Friend Held as Swindler
Accused OF Using Deposits as
Travelling Expenses

The lure of the Ita.;an ire more
than year ago led Felice Bellomo to
entrust 1926, his life savings, to his
friend Ernesto Laranco TO deposit in @
bank in Rene.
Some time afterward he became sus-
picious of LarRnco, who evaded his in
quiries and later fed from the city. A
search Of many months ended in the
arrest Of Laranco and his arraignment
yesterday before Magistrate Short in
the Gates Avenue Court. He was held
in $4,000 bail for examination Tuesday
on q charge OF grand larceny. It was
declared that he had swindled fifty
500 o on on the he pretext that he would de-
posit them in Italian banks. He spent
the money travelling TO Italy himself
and later in seeing Peru, according to
the charge.

Chancellor Cuno had boldly disposed Of
the eight-four day question by simply
declaring that the German people must

"The Lokal Anzeiger" is alone in
emphasizing that while other Chan

had reiterated declarations Of Ger
many's ability TO survive, Chancellor
Cuno had made the essential supple
mentary statement that she would
have to look after the things indis.
pensable to self-preservation. A new

The "AlIgemeine Zeitung" declared

with Herr Cuno's definite enunciation
of mis- policies, and 1t notes that he
made an effort to hold the door as wide
open as possible to the Left.
The Socialist "Vorwaerts" treats the

He repeated the statements he has
made since he came here week ago,
that unless one of the old parties

Hearst or Senator Johnson, a third
party will be formed. He apparently
uttered these words not as threat
but as a prophecy. 1t was stated that
he did not come here with the thought
of impressing Murphy with his views
regarding the outcome in 1924.
The Mayor seemed to be looking
ahead to the next campaign, since he
made statement of his views on some
of the present and impending issues
He asserted that no candidate for the
League of Nations and that the league
is very dead issue" He said also
that the next campaign more than
likely will be fought with the present
tariff and the reduction Of living costs
as the paramount questions. He hit
the new tariff hard.
The Mayor cleared up the impress

a definite program for a third party

Senator Johnson because they typify
his ideas of the type of men who
