AN INTOXICATED STORY.

1t is to be expected that the story
of the big booze off the New Jersey
coast is largely moonshine." That
bootlegging story smacks of wet pro-
paganda, all bottled up. The thing
was staged a bit too carefully to be
anything else.-Garfield Enterprise.
"a "a "a
1t now appears that the employ
ment of Will H. Hays by the moving
picture magnates was not for the pur-
pose of raising the moral standard of
the movies, but rather to use Hays as
a camuoflage to make the people think
the standard had been raised. 1t was
working fine until Fatty Arbuckle and
his avaricious managers spilled the
beans, says the Wallace Miner.

SERVICES OVER NATION
Magnificent Memorial Ceremonies to
Honor Bishop futile.
BY the Associated Press.


st. Louis, Mo-, April ia mag.
nificent memorial service in honor of
the Right Reverend Daniel S. futile,
head of the Episcopal church in the
United States, who died at his resi-
dence here Tuesday. is being planned,
it was announced today.
The service probably will be held
within the next few weeks and will in
no way conflict with the patriarch's
request for a simple funeral, it was
stated.
Bishop Frederick Foote johnson.
who succeeded Bishop futile as head
of the Missouri diocese of the church.
said the memorial service would allow
an elaborate program of eulogies and
music. which will not be included in
the funeral services to be held tomor-
row afternoon.
kilograms from various parts of the
United States brought word TO the res
idence of the deceased patriarch that
services would be held in many Episco-
pal churches of the United States Fri
day at p. m, the hour of the funeral
in St. Louis.
In answer to numerous requests for
the hymns to be sung at the simple
ritual here so that the services may be
uniform throughout the nation, it was
announced that lead Kindly Light
and For all the Saints, who from
their labors rest" the two favorite
hymns of Bishop futile, would be
sung.

valid rights must be determined first
before there can be given the back
ing of the government. But even the
backing is a matter of moral sup
mort and strong diplomatic language.
There have been disputes Of legal
nature before in which American in
terests have not always come out on
top, but the government here has not
felt it was obligated TO use its army
and navy TO protect American legal
rights abroad. Usually the disputes
have had seQuels in which foreign gov
ernments have sought things from the
American government and the power
of retaliation can always be invoked
without recourse to serious interna-
tional conflict.
In the recent controversy, for in
stance, over the mOnopolistie tendency
of certain Dutch and British oil com
panies in shutting out American con-
Germs the United States government
has taken a firm stand and has even
begun proceedings looking TO the ex-
pulsion of those companies from oper-
atoms on American oil territory un-
less reciprocity can be established and
obstacles in the way OF freedom OF
opportunity for American interests IN
other parts of the world are removed.
The United States never sought any
special privilege in any part of the
world but only freedom of oppor-
tunity. There are oil bearing lands
in Central and South America which
are in a sense within the American
sphere of influence. Should American
interests fail TO get their just due in
the Near East and other regions UNI
der European political control. the
natural effect would be TO establish
a preferential position on this and
the South American continent for
those who seek cOcessiOns, not merely
Americans. but the nationals of other
countries which see TO it that Ameri-
can citizens get a square deal and
an oDen door.
As the controversy develops and
gets into the Senate, as it inevitably
will. the whole matter of oil exploita-
ton throughout the world will be
brought up for discussion. Senator
LaFollette refers 10 the ultimate
shortage of oil and the consequent rise
to such heights as a dollar gallon
for gasoline. Oil, like coal, is be-
a fuel of paramount import
ance throughout the world and while
it is too early to form a judgment
as to the merits of the Chester con-
troversy. the dispute is bound to be
thoroughly investigated and analysed
not only by those who fear foreign
entanglements. but by those who in
sist that American interests shall be
given an even greater measure of pro-
lection in the future than in the past.

HERMINE TO RETURN
Will Rent Villa in Holland Near
Doom "for Appearances Sake
BY GEORGE WHITE.

BY GEORGE WHITE.
Special Cable TO The San Antonio Light
and the Chicago Daily News.
Copyright. 1928.
Berlin, April 19.-Doorn castle Is
getting too small for the Hohenzollern
family since the ex-kaiser's nervous
breakdown and Hermine's separation
from William II, which began few
weeks ago and will continue indefi-
nitely. 1t is now learned from a
trustworthy source that Count Ben
timex. the ex-kaiser's friend and his
host at Amerongen, opened negotia-
tons a few days ago for the lease of
villa this summer in Hollands most
fashionable seaside resort. NoOrdwyk
aan Zee.
The villa belongs to the ex-kaiser' S
friend. DIR. Weissman. who used to
be chief Of the imperial secret service
and is now commissioner of public
sofety. As neither Holland nor the
Allied governments will permit the
| former emperor to exchange the mar
row confines of his exile for the wide
publicity and amusements of Noord'
wyk it is surmised that Count Ben
timex is acting on behalf of Hermine
who wishes to keep away from Doom
as much as possible but at the same
time wishes to avoid the public scan
dal which would be caused IL she de-
serted the ex-emperor entirely and re-
manned in Germany.
By returning to Holland in a few
weeks and spending the summer al
Noordwyk 'for her children's sake
appearances can be kept up to Ger
tain extent.

Essen, April tS.-The Fren2L min
lister of public works, NJ. LeTrocquer
who seems 20 .e playing an important
part in the exploitation of the Ruhr
at a luncheon in the Hotel Handel
hof, thanked the engineers for the
progress they had made. He said
that the coke seizures in the Ruhr
had increased from $50 tons day
to 5000 tons and were expected TO
reach 10000 tons day within a
week. The minister predicted con-
siderable extension Of the railroad
operation by the French.
Figures giveI by the French en-
gineers exceed those Diet led by Le-
Trocquer. They show that the coke
being sent to France has already
reached 7440 tons i day and the coal
shipments are 2450 tons n day. In
the lasl month the French lave ex-
tended their seizure of railroad lines

Concessions in Turkey to
Americans Nav Be
Investigated.
HUGHES IS UNAFRAID
Secretary of State Not APP
prehensive Regarding
Entanglements.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright by The San Antonio Light.
Washington. ID. G., April 19.-Rum-
blings are beginning TO be heard from
the direction of the Senate on the
subject of the oil concessions granted
American capitalists in Tur key.
When Congress meets the whole
subject is likely TO be aired and q res
olution calling for the facts intro
duced. Some of the senator's. par
ticularly in the irreconciliable' =
group, think there is more chance Of
foreign ENHANCEMENT in the conces-
sion business than in the League OF
Nations itself
Secretary of State Hughes, sensing
the talk of complications-for the
European press has been full of it
is pointing out constantly in his con-
ferences with the press that there
need be no worry about entanglements
and that the discussion of internal
conflict over the Turkish concession
which has been so prominent in the
press cables from abroad, is largely
a specter Of the imagination.
Mr.. Hughes experience with legal
complexities leads him TO approach
with the utmost serenity the very
highly complicated questions which
have arisen since announcement was
first made that the Turks had grant
ed the Chester oil concession. He
sees no extraordinary procedure nee
essary, no need of apprehension on
any score. The French government
has not vet lodged any formal pro-
test, but has communicated its views
in a preliminary way.
Awaits Facts in Case.
The United States government is
not unmindful of the deep interest
which foreign governments will take
in the affair, but naturally feels they
need have no cause TO fear inequita-
Bile treatment. For first of all, it be-
comes necessary TO determine what
are the facts. Thus far the Ameri-
can government knows only that the
concession has been granted the Ches-
ter interests by the Angora govern
ment and that there have been GER
tain notifications since the proposal
was first brought to the attention Of
the State Department here. Wher
the text has been received and wheI
foreign governments have pointed ou
10 where their claims conflict will
the American concession. the Depart
ment of State will endeavor TO per
suade the Chester interests to adjus
directly such questions as can be ad
iusted between them and conflictiai
interests and if that still leaves a con
flict. the proposal will be made tina
an arbitral tribunal be appointed witt
full power to resolve the points il
dispute
Having in mind such a careful le
aal procedure. the government her
fails to see how any enormous politi
cal embrogBo can be developed out o
this controversy. The full diplomat
support of the American government
is given when legitimate claims ar
made BY American interests. TIL
