tenden Of Mantle administrator.

Mr.. Cruttenden. Judge Hlnamn re-
versed Judge Bush, ordering the will
approved and admitted, and Thursday

corning the appointment of an admins
traitor. Attorneys for the estate urged
the appointment Of Edward r. Barnard

court. offered the name Of Attorney Abe
P. Tanner. Attorney Keefe urged the
appointment of Mr.. Cruttenden.

NEW SEARCH WARRANTS
UNDER PROHIBITION LAW

Copies of a new form of search war
rant to be employed in the enforcement
of the national prohibition law, have
been forwarded to all United States
commissioners in the Connecticut dis
trict, by the office of United States at
torney, and it is requested that the COM
mssioners use this form in the future
in the issuance of search warrants,
The search warrant recommended te
the commissioners has the approval of
the United States attorney general and
is somewhat different from the form
used by some Of the commissioners,
The validity of the former search
warrants has been frequently attacked.

been requested for supplies of these
blanks which will be rushed to all the
commissioners in the district.
A request is to be made of Judge
! Edwin S. Thomas OF the district court to

The Clear Case of France

There are abudant signs that the
straightforward, consistent policy Of
France is becoming understood in

no taste for propaganda; they pos
sess little ability in explaining their
case in terms understandable
abroad. They lack the British skill
in diplomacy. On their side are only
simple Justice and undiluted reason.

mands but justice. She has had no

author. will long remain in the

dren saved from death by you"
Fine! The American, reading
Gorky's tribute, must have felt a
thrill of gladness that this country

imagined the Russians picturing us

They give five or ten millions to the
starving Chinese as II they were

spend twenty or thirty millions in
the Volga region without a thoght
OF receiving anything in return.
And then, in the supposedly civil
lized State Of Illinois, a crowd of
Americans with jeers and laughter
butcher dozens of unarmed men
whose crime was that they wanted
to go to work.
