SITUATION IN
SYRIA is GRAVE
Fighting Renewed Near Da-
mascus - French Forces
Cannot Resist Attack

London, Nov. 5.-[R-The situation
in Syria still is tense and apparent
ly fraught with grave possibilities
Reports reaching London assert that
there has been renewed fighting in
the eastern outskirts of Damascus
between the French and Rebels and
that the French are using all effort,
to prevent the entry into the city of
tribesmen on the outside, From var
ious sections come advices that the
situation is growing worse. The en-
tire area from Damascus northward
to Aleppo is declared to be held by
brigands and is said to be seething
with insurrection.
"Uncontrollablc rebellion," says
one correspondent, seems to be
sweeping over the entire country.
The French forces cannot possibly
cope with the situation owing to in
adequate numbers. No Improvement
seems possible until reinforcements
arrive. Even the defenses of Dam
ascus could not resist a strong or
ganiZed attack.
Druse leaders in Damascus are
quoted by correspondent as declar-
ing that the French had given no
consideration to their people under
the French mandate and that the sit
uation had reached such a stage that
they considered it best to fall fight
ing than to live under such condi-
tionS.

The implied answer is, "Be good

But what supposedly free peo-

being scolded?
Among his fellow-North Americans
Secretary Kellogg is getting much
credit for "frankness" in talking to

Americans call "frankness," Latin

SHAFER RULES
FOR ELECTION
TO FILL POST
Attorney General Declares
Voters Must Vote on
Ladd'S Successor

"Governor Sorlie will violate the
constitution of the United States by
making an appointment to fill the
vacancy caused by Senator Ladd's
death"
This is the opinion of Attorney
General George +. Shafer. In the alb
sence of state provisions for such an
emergency. the executive must abide
hy the national constitution or Vlo-
late it, the attorney general SAID.
He has not presented his opinion to
the governor because he has not been
asked to give one, he SAID.
Not Be Recognized
The governor may. however, name
an appointee, who will be subject to
subsequent approval by the senate
1t is more than possible that tho
governors choice will not be recog-
nizcd by the upper branch of the
national assembly since the APP
pointee will not carry with him a
certificate Of election, said the at
torney general.
Whether the appointment. II made,
will be legal or not depends on the
senate to decide, said Mr.. Shafer.
The governor, however. may deer, 1T
expedicnt. as the executive officer
of the state, to substitute an APP
pointment for an election.
The lack of "A law to provide for
filling a vacancy of senatorial
seat is expected to be filled at the
next legislative assembly. according
to state officials. The governor has
no precedent to follow since the
instance in which Governor Burke
appointed a senator to fill vacancy
in his administration was under
conditions far removed from the
present situation, says the legal de-
partment.
May Call Legislature
Although it is not likely, the gov
ernor may call a special session OF
the legislature. to which he will
recommend that "A law be passed max
ing an appointment legal. Tins
would entail as great expense as the
calling of special election, in the
attorney generals opinion.
Mr. Shafer believes that the eX'
pense of special election would moi
exceed $4,000, since only shor
ballot will have to be printed. Others
including the governor, declare that
special election will cost the state
an of 100000 to $l50,000.

possible appointee. Leaguers are
firm in their belief that senator

not only captured these two honors,
but also took second place in the
grand sweepstakcs-only one other
contestant, a light touring car, en-
ceeding Oakland's high score.
Oakland made an average Of 22.S6
miles per gallon of gasoline over the
$50 mile course, which includes some
of the steepest grades and most try
ing roads on the Pacific Coast. The
car, with its load Of passengers,
weighed 3,847 pounds. Only one
pint Of oil and AZ pints of water
were needed for the trip. No me-
chanical adjustments had to be made
during the course of the race. The
car made an average of 43.83 ton
miles per gallon.
The run, as usual, was conducted
under A. A. A. supervision and a
most careful inspection of all models
was made to make certain that every
model was strictly stock car.
Four sweepstakes victories, two
| closed car sweepstakes victories and
six class championships, place Oak
land in class by itself for econom-
| ical operation.
These victories were won in the
Camp Curry Yosemite runs in 1922,
1923, 1924 and 1925 and the San
Diego to FL Centre and return econ
! omy runs in 1922 and 1923.

South st. Paul, April 1S.-The price
pendulum continued in its downward
course for practically al classes OF
livestock again during the past week.
Fat cattle after advancing 25c or
more at the opening are closing barely
steady with trade very dull at the
close. Fat sheep and lamb values,
while largely nominal, were dropped
around $1.00 in line with sharp de-
clines at outside markets. Generous
hog runs together with few bullisG'
arguments in the way of Eastern
shipping demand, placed the local hog
market under pressure from packers
who promptly enforced declines of
around 75c on all classes for the week.
Bulk of the desirable lights and
butchers closed Friday on a one-price
basis, $12.2O stopping 100 pound
weights and up. Lighterweight 40
to $50 pound kinds finished from
$1,000 to $12.15 with packing sows
largely on a $1,000 schedule. Pigs
have been the feature of the week
closing sc higher than butcher hogs

high level for cattle of this weight
during the current season. Other ma
tured steers sold at $1,000 to $I0.75

SHOULD START ERE LONG
(Helena Record-Herald

The influx of hOmeseekers from the East, at
tracted here by the advertising campaign of the
trans-continental railways and the civic bodies
of the state, should begin to move into Montana
by the end of April or the beginning of May.
Further reports of prospective settlers are being
received by local railway agents and chambers
of m in some of the cities. The Milwau-
kee railroad division freight and passenger agent
at Great Falls lately received advices from one of
the company's immigration agents in the East
that a large number of families from Iowa, Min
nesota and South Dakota will enter the state this
spring.
Most of the new people doubtless will be from
the agricultural districts of the Middle West, and
the advertising campaign having been specifically
directed only to the attention of desirable settlers
farming and stOckraising people of some means,
the newcomers should be a distinct asset to the
state. 1t is to be hoped that this farming season
in Montana will be favorable, or at least not ex-
tremely unfavorable, in the matter of precipitation
and other growing conditions, so that the new
people will not have too many difficulties to con
tend with and be unfavorably impressed at the
beginning.
The agricultural opportunities Of the state are
unlimited, and there is no question but what
thousands and thousands of new people can b.
accommodated with farm and ranch homes, anC
can make a success of agriculture in Montana, i
they are made acquainted with them and receiv
reasonable guidance and assistance in making loca
tiOns and taking up the task.

there is a gradual settlement on Montana lands
in progress. This is particularly true at this time
in the Milk river valley country and is seen in
indications in the Yellowstone valley regions. Up
on the north side of the state the farmers are
getting ready for the beet-growing season, and
this should be true of the people of the south
side to a. greater and wider extent. The c~Onstruc-
ton of the sugar plant at Chinook is having its
effect on the prosperity of that region and the
building of the new plant at Sidney will have a
corresponding effect. Both will afford an induce
ment to new settlers.
There is much to be done yet to perfect and
bring to fruition the idea of getting the right
kind and type of settler to come to Montana. This
assured, there is nothing the matter with the peo-
pie of the state, who believe in the Treasure com.

H EXPORT RATE
montana Farmer)

The proposal of the Great Northern, Northern
Pacific and Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul rail-
ways that the special export rate on grain from
Montana to the Pacific coast be cancelled has
been turned down temporarily by the Interstate
commerce commission, according to a press re-
port of April 9, but formal hearing on the matter
will be held on August 81 to determine future
policy in this regard. The export rate was put
into effect about two years ago, giving Montana
shippers a seven-cent cut per hundred pounds on
grain for export and carrying with it a provision
for milling in transit.
This special rate has been fought by grain
and milling interests in the Twin Cities. The
millers in Montana and in the Twin Cities contend
that the Pacific coast millers take advantage OF
the export rate to get high grade wheat from
Montana and then substitute low grade flour t.
make up the export requirement, using the flour
made from the high grade wheat to compete witt
Montana and Twin Cities flour in Pacific coas
markets.
If the Pacific coast millers are making a prac
tice of doing this, then, certainly, the millers on
this way have q very legitimate kick. It wouI,
seem, however, that their influence might wei
be used toward bringing about enforcement q
the Milling in transit provision rather than 4
attacking the export rate, because Montana
farmers are certainly entitled to any preferentis
rates they can get. Distance from marketi is pel
haps the most serious handicap M~ontana's pro
ducers have to contend with and they are 81
deavoring to counteract that handicap as niue
as possible by raising superior products. AM
thing That can be done to increase the compettio
for Montana's quality products should be ben.

$50 YEARS

1t has only been $50 years since the enbattled
farmers at Concord and Lexington fired the shot
heard round the world and opened the long bat
tie which was to obtain a new deal for themselves
and common people everywhere.
T. v"s a bitter fight-one in which a few
Thousand alarmed, sometimes starving, settlers,
fighting for their homes and firesides, battled
against Britain's hosts.
But the c%olonists, led by the indomitabIe Wash
ington, won their liberty and then began the long,
arduous struggle to weld the thirteen colonies
i73o . zeal nation, one in which the people should
rule.
There were some clear thinkers in those days
and they builded better than they knew.
Times have changed nightly in that century
and a half.
The telephone, the telegraph, the radio, the
railroad, automobile and airplane, to say nothing
of the many labOr-saving machines and appli-
ances and the Harvesting of electricity, have
come to brighten the homes, Tighten the labor
and add to the comforts and conveniences of our
people.
And this nation, founded upon the rock of
equality, has proclaimed the doctrine of the
square deal among nations throughout the earth.
Americans have reason to be proud of their
nation and of the principles for which it stands.
And they cannot afford to forget that this
nation, born amid the smoke of battle and main
tanned by the strong arms of its citizens on many
a bloody field, must ever keep it's buckler bright
and its sabre sharpened.
In our $50 years history as a nation we have
never fought a w~antOnly aggressive war; we have
lived in amity with our neighbOrs when they
would permit us to do so and our 3,O0O-mile
Canadian boundary, a boundary unmarked by 9
single fortification, is ample proof of this spirit
of peace.
But older nations view our rise to power will
a jealous eye. They envy our prosperity and they
look with more or less disfavor upon our view
upon international subjects. They cannot under
stand our methods of dealing with weaker nation
and have sometimes mistaken our efforts at con
citation for cOwardice-to their cost.
In $50 years this nation has become the bul
wark of liberty.
It has paved the way for freedom and ha
shown other oppressed peoples the path to sell
government.
And as long as its people remain true to tn
principles upon which it's government is founded
it will prove a mighty force for peace and justiC
throughout the earth.
