the pacifist attitude of voters, and
woman voters not only outnumbered
the men. but their influence largely
dictated mems votes, he said. This
situation, combined with "the effeni-
niZation that wealth produced" con-
stituted the enormous danger OF
the Nations position.
of all eNisting matters,s the one
that women understand the aeast Il
war" he said. WAR is a business
OF mathematics and machinery and
scientific appliances and noise and
discomfort and bloodshed and many
other horrid things from which
women instinctively recoil.
mot only do they recoil from even
the idea of war. but the extreme
delicacy of their nervous systems
makes many of them incapable of
even thinking about war in ra-
tional way. The proof of this is the
obvious fact that most women con-
fuse a desire for a reasonable pre-
paredness for war with an actual in
tention to make war"
He held that the "only possible
means of escape" when the United
States went to war again was "soue
action by the men that will bring
the women to realize realities"
Perhaps the best way" he con-
cluded, will be to prove to them
that it is for the comfort and pro-
lection of the women, after all, that
wars are fought. and that it is tn ere
fore to the interest of the women
themselves that they permit men TO
obtain and learn the use OF the nee
eSSary armament wherewith to as
sure them. the comfort and protec-
tion they need Even in spite of
themselves we must protect the
ladies. God bless EN-

WOMEN BLAMED

Rear Admiral Fiske, Retired,
AssaiIs Sex's Ignorance
Of War.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, December 15.-Paci-
fism prevails in the United States be-
cause of the influence of women. who
have an unsuitable desire to inter
fere in matters they do not under
stand" Rear Admiral Bradley a.
Fiske. retired, said Saturday night
He spoke at dinner at the Army
and Navy Club, which marked the
thirty-eighth anniversary of the
StrollerS and was attended by a move
to revive that dormant institution.
Two hundred members of the old
Strollers and their guests-most OF
them ex-Army and eX-Navy men from
cities of this country and Canada
attended the function. At the speak
ers' table We're Robert Cornell Sands,
president OF the Strollers: Maj. Gen.
Robert Lee Bullard, Admiral Hugh
Rodman, Brig. Cen. George A. Win
gate, retired, Giuseppe de Luca, An
tonic Scptti and John Drew.
Rear Admiral Fisne asserted that
there need have been no post ar

Army and Navy had been mainta I'd

the country. could pass from state
of peace to a state of war without

before.
The war lords first move was

but for these he set his own figure,
,, which was about half the market
price,. AS the crops came in slowly
at this figure, each county was asked
through its officials to produce GER
tain amount. Military pressure on
the. official, official pressure on the
farmer, and the trick was done.
/ The war lord needed carts-thou-
sands of them. There were NUM-
tions to- be hauled many miles over
trainless country. He turned to the
farmer A telegram to the civil off,
ciat and the official assessed the
county, according to its population,
anywhere from 100 to 500 carts. The
county magistrate in turn assessed
each village, according to size, one
to six carts
But the carts were to have animals
and the animals drivers. All this
was in the military order, but no half
price nor half wage was offered here.
The carts, animals and carriers were
to be produced in any way that would
| not cause expense to the war lords.
| So each village held meeting to
decide how to meet the demands. A
favorite method with the village
elders was to offer a given sum for
volunteers. The actual sum paid In
some villages is known to have been
! $500 to induce a volunteer" to go
to the front with cart and two ami
mails, and it was clearly understood
that if cart, animals or driver failed
to return the village assumed no re-
sponsibility. The cost to each village
| of its cart outfits is usually shared
proportionately by the villagers on
the basis of acreage owned.
But the war lord still is in need.
He wants servants at the front to
carry his ammunition and other
| equipment, to cook his food and to
load and unload trains, to bury the
dead and to perform other menial la
bors. The number of coolies de-
manded was about equal to the num-
ber OF carriers. To the credit Of the
militarists, it is said that counties
| badly hit by the floods have been
partially exempted, but the total
number of carts demanded from the
Province of Chilli, with it's 12S coun-
ties, was approximately $4,000

POWELL, EDITOR ACCUSES CODY OF
DEFACING SIGN ON POWELL GREYBULL ROAD

What's the matter with Powell anyway, and what's wrong
with Editor Baird of the Powell Tribune that Cody should be
jumped onto in a vicious IN accused Of defacing a sign
which is located some ffty-fve miles from town, and a sign which
directs tourists W. a route which ultimately brings them to the
eastern entrance to Yellowstone park. The attack seem unwar-
ranted and unjust, and N for which a apology should be
offered.
To a very great extent PoweIrs interests III Cody's interests.
1t is the hope of the business men of Cody to be on friendly
terms with its neighbors to the east. They are cooperating in
every way to aid and assist the people of the project town and
then to have Editor Baird advise IS to slip down to Greybun
and fix up a sign down there which has been unfortunately de-
faced and changed SO as to nunhy its purpose.
The business of Cody have no quarrel with any of the
towns of the Big Horn basin or the state of Wyoming regarding
the routing of tourists to Yellowstone park. 1t makes N diff
ference to Cody which route they come in over, whether it be
Beaver and Powell to Cody; through Meeteetse from Thermopols,
o If they arrive from Billings whether they take any one of
the three routes down from the north. 1t makes n O difference
to Cody just s. these visitors coming this way have authentic
road information ad a get here the way they wish to come.
The Herald does not think that there is a man, woman r
child in Cody who would be guilty of such a low-down ofense a $
mutnating Powells sign. The fact is that We re not EVEN
interested in the sign down there at Greybun. If the tourist is
interested in agricultural resources, he should by all means
journey around the Powell and Lowell way and Sc ONE of the
finest farms in the United States. If he is pressed for time and
wants to cut his journey thru Yellowstone as short as possible
he will probably not be intereted in the longer route.
The Tribune article is SO apparently unfair that we r Ill
that Powell people do not concu with Editor Baird in placing the
blame for the depreciation upon this community, and that Mr..
Baird himself, upon more serious thought, will entertain ome
doubts rs to whether or not Cody would sanction such a piece
of devItry.
In defacing the sign and changing its purpose the words
"To Cody" were obiterated, leaving the sign reading ITO Lowell.
CowIey, Beaver, Garland and Powell" In closing his article e
garhing the sign, the Tribune article said in part:
1.-THE Tribune would politely suggest to u good friends 1t
Cody that they e to it that this sign is promptly put back in its
original wording. That would do much to preserve the friendly
feeling between the w communities and would relieve the better
element up Cody way of an suspicion of being implicated in the
signs DETACHMENT"

BOTULINUS CAUSE OF
DEATHS ON SOUTHPORT

Botulinus toxin is said to be the
cause of the o deaths at the Ache
home on Southfork two weeks ago,
according to the federal bureau of
chemistry. The poison vas traced
to a can of domestic ripe olives
which was served at one of the
1uncheons given by Mr.. and Mrs.
Paul Ache, the latter of whom was
n of the four victims of the vi
client poison.
The olives were said to be the
pack of the Ermann Packing COM
pany of Oroville. California, and all
other shipments of the same pack
have been withdrawn from the mar
ket, although the chemists report
hat no trace of botulimus has beer
found in any of the cans of olives
other than those used at the South
fork home.
The olives in which the botulimus
toxin was found were purchased
from a Denver fruit dealer, accord
ing to the federal report. Mr.. Ache
also purchased some imported olives
in Denver. but in this pack no POI
son was apparent.
