The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1923-11-28

GENERAL DEGOUTTE, commander
~ of the occupation troops in the
huhr, issued a decree imposing i'm
pris0nment and fines on those indus
trialists who insisted on closing down
their plants, but the magnates evaded
arrest and locked cut their employees
nevertheless. Consequently the French
seized mines and other properties and
began operating them with the as
SiStance of the lOcked-Out men and I'M
Ter French engineers. The allies
reached satisfactory agreements with
he dye and shoe manufacturers of the
,,lineland. In the Bavarian Palatinate
he ~separatists carried on a kind of
Guerrilla warfare and took possession
of several towns. 1t was said they
were aided by the French in the Pal
atinate. This was the cause of a for
NAL protest from Berlin to the allies.
In Upper Silesia the organized farm
ers, who are natiOnalistic, declared a
food boycott against the towns until
| Stresemann and his cabinet should re
sign. Immediately the hungry towns
men hocked into the country by thou
sands and burned and looted the farm
! steads. They were fought by the
junkers and their employees and by
the police, and there were many fatal
tiles. The farmers organizations, il
is stated, could provide plenty of food
for all Of Germany until next March
If they wished, but they will not dc
so until a n%ationalistic government is
established.
When the ~reichstag reassembleC
Chancellor Stresemann said Germany''
internal condition was hopeless and hi
could see not the slightest prospect Of
an Improvement. His government, HI
declared, would relinquish Office If TIT
reichstag considered 1t necessary. 1
seemed likely he would soon be &C
commodated in this respect.

DR. FREDERICK A. COOK, the
II Arctic explorer who gained no
tOriety by his bogus discovery" of the
North Pole years ago, and who of late
has been a spectacular dealer in oil
stocks, has come to the end of his
rope. Tried before Federal Judge Kill
Its in Forth Worth, Tex, for misuse
of the mails in connection with the
operations of the Petroleum PrOduc-
ers' association, of which he was the
sole trustee, he was found guilty and
sentenced to fourteen years and nine
months in prison and fined $4,000.
Nineteen c~o-defendants were also
found guilty. Judge KiIlits in passing
sentence denounced Cook scathingly
for robbing widows and orphans, con

and he is confident that the radicals
will be unable to put any extreme
measure through congress. His atti-
tude toward soldier bonus legislation
has not been disclosed, but he probably
will follow the example Of President
Harding and insist that if a bonus bill
be passed, a means for financing it be
provided by congress.
G. WALTON, suspended governor

eleven of the sixteen charges pre-
scented to the senate court of impeach-

moral turpitude, neglect of duty and
general incompetence was removed
from his Office. The vote was Al to O.
WaltOn's one consistent supporter be-
ing absent. Six of the original charges
were dismissed. No evidence for the
defense was presented, for Walton ha6
withdrawn his counsel after announc
ing that he could not stand the "hu
initiation of an unfair trial" His at
tOrneys, however, intend to try tC

CECRETARY OF COMMERCE

Q ECRETARY OF COMMERCE.
~ HOOVER a V the government is
not considering any plan for the relief
of the hungry people in Germany,
though several persons have talked Of
the matter with the President. AS to
whether relief is needed, Mr.. Hoover
says the breakdown in distribution,
coupled with considerable unemploy-
ment, has caused suffering in the poor
districts. Uncertainty Of business life
has multiplied many times, but Ger
many as a whole is still a powerful
country in business, agriculture, and
trade. Purchases by Germany from
the United States in the first six
months of 1923 aggregated more than
$143,000,O00, or about 370,000,O00 gold
marks. The industrial plan of Ger
many is better than it was before the
war, and there is even danger that it
is ov~erdeveloped. Crops throughout
Germany are reported generally good,
in some instances being the best for
fifteen years or more.
Major General Aliens committee for
relief Of hungry German children is all
ready to open its campaign for the col
lection Of funds from American citi-
zens and it is announced that at least
$10,OOO,OO0 will be needed The Amer
lean Friends service committee will adj
minister the fund and the German gov
eminent will kindly attend to the in
surance, warehouse and other over
head charges.
