Disagree. With MortIske

Dear Mr Editor :-
 Our good friend eMortlake.. in his
 interesting political articles. says that f the Republican leaders are wise they NlH make the protective tariff the issue 0f the coming campaign and f appeal 10 the working men to keep the Republican party iu power SO that they may continue 70 have plenty Of
 work at big wages. etc Now this is just camoufiage The tariff is not the great and important issue before the country today, but # is whether fhls country shall cooperate heartily with the rest of the world tn bringing about better conditions for all nations, or take the position of selfish isolation
 and disregard 5f the troubles Of the rest Of mankind. which America alone can alleviate The Republican party made the greatest mistake in its his- tory when t went against our joining ! the League of Nations. which is the greatest and best attempt ever made e bring the nations Of mankind into better relation than that of armed hostility Will the party now honest ] lg and hamhly recognize and aeknowi- edge its mistake and seek to regain l ifs i8sf prestige and honor by leading our country into full participation in the World Court and the League of Nations II 30. ] will gladly support it Or will f. on the other hand. biIndly and stubbornly follow the lead Uf that little eoferie Of irreconeilable seBafofs like BFandeRee, Moses and Johnson. who would keep America in the shartsighted policy of isolation which means disaster Co other nations and ultimate injury to 0urselyesE In that case the Republican party will lose the support 9f multitude of our best citizens who have been thinking aHd studying earnestly on the subject for fhe past three years, and who are deeply anxious that America should play a worthy and Christian part in the moral leadership and assistance of mankind.
 The tariff is business question which should not be q political issue at ali. but which should be settled by commission of experts who should ad- l jast 1t go that it would meet the diff l ference between cost Of production here and in other countries. and be for | the best interests of the people at large Ne know that many times the tariff has been used as a selfish in- 2 |ufaeturers to build up mon0polies and make themselves millionaires. while 1 the cost Of living was greatly increas- cd and the people al large paid the bill. Mortlake seems tn think that the people can again be fooled by campaign orators with such slogan 8z Vote the Republican ticket and l have fuIl dinner pail but many of our citizens are more intelligent to-

 Dear Sirs-Lord Birkenhead' $ part ing word to America was that ''in view of Premier Poincare's stand for no change in the reparatIou figures, the conference of experts can not hope to accomplish any real relief for the economic chaos of the world. The conference will become. be added. an excellent debt collecting agency.
 Let Us hope that the conference does not prove 10 be an excellent debt col- lecting agency.
 France is now exercising the same rights that Germany exercised in isT1-74. Did England take the same stand in ls7l-74 against the attitude ef Germany as she now takes against France? We are told that Germany has bought, from America. S12,o0O. 900 worth Of cotton and 1000. .a00 worth of copper. both war commodities, and still England would have France con sent to q reduction of Germany's in- debtedness An international confer ence may enlighten the world as ta Germany's ability to pay up. We know enough about Germany's unWil- lingness to meet her honest obliga- tIons. America has barred the Al lies debts to her from the proposed discussion. and France has barred the total af Germany's indebtedness from discussion.
 The fulfllment of the demands of justice now will do more toward ths
 Iupfez 4#8n of war in the future than any League for Peace or any League 1f Nations.

Praises Poetry Column

Editor Putnam Patriot.
 II is distinctly gratifying Co find a column Of your paper devoted Co poet Y, which is seldom permitted to creep into a corner of the weekly newspa- per. and often fails to find shelter in the more pretentious dailies. Espe- riaily gratifying was the selection of last week when a review of Wild Cherry Lizette Woodwork Reese 5 new book, was published. Her verses possess lyrical charm which the poets of this modern age frequently overlook in their scurry to turn out salable copy.
 We who enjoy poetry are indebted to The Patriot for this treat May others follow.

CLAN ACCUSED
Of FRAUD
Brothers, Frank and Herbert,
Said to Have Procured Goods
Here and in Baltimore.

Accused of defrauding Washing
ton and Baltimore merchants out OF
thousands Of dollars worth Of mer.
chandise, Frank Bishop. of Han
cock, Nd, is under arrest. and Her
bert Bishop, his brother, is in hiding
in the hills adjacent to Hancock and
being sought by posse.
The brothers are members Of the
famous Bishop mountain clan, and
preyed upon NWashington and Balti'
more merchants by purchasing
goods to be sent them, under vari'
Gus names, for which they never
paid it is charged.
The arrest of Frank Bishop was
made by United States Deputy Mar.
shals George w. Warrenberger and
r. r. Davis. who trapped him by
telephoning him to come to town to
see his lawyer. AS he approached
his lawyers office, he was arrested
The two Federal officers then
went to the Bishop home on Side.
ling Hill, near Hancock, and am.
pushed Herbert Bishop. AS they
were about to place him under ar.
rest he fled, and they fired nine
shots at him, two of them finding
their mark, 1t is said. He escaped
however and a posse has been
searching since last night. Both
brothers are charged with fraudu
lent use of the mails.
Herbert Bishop attained :lotoriety
in August 1921, when he defied a
posse, who sought him as a de.
serter from the army. Army troops
were then sent in pursuit, after he
escaped from the posse, and after
a five-day search captured him
He was tried and given ten years
but was subsequently released from
Federal prison on the plea. that his
aged mother needed his support.
The two brothers then began their
scheme against Washington, Balti
more and other city merchants, &C
cording to Federal officials, and
supported their mother in regal
style.

PARIS, Nov. 15.-Even If the
allied ambassadors council decides
not to impose any new penalties
upon Germany, France will not act
alone against the Germans. con-
sidering that occupation of the
Ruhr and Rhineland Is sufficient
guarantee Of safety and of repara-
lions payments, 1t was learned in
authoritative political circles today.
Acts by Berlin.
There are indications that France
will not press the allied powers
to agree to occupation of Hamburg
as a new sanction in retaliation
for the following acts by Berlin:
Allowing the former crown prince
to return.
Reported decision to cease all rep
arations payments and to disregard
the Versailles treaty.
Refusal to agree to re-establish-
nnent Of allied military control.
There is a conflict Of opinion az to
whether the French pccupatlonal
forces will be aided or hindere1 if
Germany cuts off Rhineland and
Ruhr. allowing them freedom to fol-
low their own future political,
financial and economic course. The
chief fear arises from unsmploy-
rnent and lack of food which may re.

Accepting an offer made by two
young men to take her to the bus
line that runs to Grant Circle. Mrs.
Marion Croggan. twenty-six, OF
apartment 4. 131 Webster street
northwest, later was forced to hur'
riedly leave the automobile at Elev'
enth and Monroe street northwest
when one Of the would-be benefactors
attempted to place his arm around
her.
Mrs. Croggan then took q street
car to the bus line and reached her
home. After she had told her hus-
band OF the occurrence the police
were called in and Detective Sergeant
Howard Vermillion and Detective
Smoot. of the Tenth precinct, began
an investigation.
The two detectives accompanied
Mrs. Croggon to the corner Of Elev-
enth and Harvard streets northwest,
where she said the two men came
out Of a house, in an effort to have
her point out the house from which
they had come. She was unable to
point out the house, the detectives
say.
Mrs. Croggon had attended a mo-
ton picture show at q Fourteenth
street theater. After leaving the
theater, she lost her way and wac
wandering aimlessly about when she
boarded a street car. She asked the
conductor how she could get to her
home and he advised her to ride to
the bus line and take the bus.
It was while she was waiting for
a northbound street car that the
two men offered to take her to the
bus line. Mrs. Croggon said that
one of the men tried to get her

Wanders Into Cabaret Dazed.
Police Release Men Cues.
!. toned in Case.

In dazed condition, Catherine
Rosenbaum, fourteen years old,
of 1885 Maryland avenue north
east, who has been missing since
Sunday, was found last night by
Policemen o. e. DuvaH and
Charles Poole, Of the Second
precinct.
The little girl who two years
ago caused sensation in Wash
ington when she disappeared with
q thirty-six-year-old man and was
not found until two days later,
wandered into the Old Dutch Mill
on Seventh street about last mid
night.
Girl Cannot Explain.
The manager Of the Mill noticed
the girl, unaccompanied, enter the
cabaret. He remembered that the
police had asked him to look out
for her. He called in Policemen
DuvaII and Poole, who took the
girl in custody. She was taken to
the Second precinct and then to the
House of Detention.
The police say that the girl was
dazed and that she apparently did
not know where she was or what
she had been doing. SO Tar police
have not been able to find out
where the girl spent her time since
she left home Sunday.
Immediately after the girl disap-
peared, police Of the Ninth precinct
questioned four men regarding ner
whereabouts. Satisfied they knew
nothing of the girl, they were re-
leased.
Picked Up On Road.
Two years ago and also on o
Sunday, Catherine disappeared from
home. She was last seen riding in
buggy with a man and headed
toward Maryland. Police combed the
city for two days and Maryland au-
thorities searched their territory,
but without success. Finally, on u
Tuesday morning, the girl was
picked UP on a road near Takoma
Park.
A few hours after her arrest, J.
Marshall Lyles, thirty-six years old,
was arrested. He was later tried in
the circuit court of Marlboro on n
charge Of assaulting the thirteen
year-old girl. The jury found him
not guilty.
