DEAL IS BEING
PROBED

gates Return of American
Metal Company Assets

An official inquiry into the action
Of Thomas w. Miller, former alien
property custodian, in returning
assets of the American Metal Com
pany, valued at several million
dollars, has been launched by the
Department OF Justice. it was
stated today.
In 1918, $4,000 shares of stock
of the corporation were seized as
enemy by Former Alien
Property Custodian A. Mitchell Pal
mer. In 1921 the stock was re-
leased to a Swiss Corporation.
Miller and the Department of JUS
tice held that the concern was not
enemy -owned.
The deal was mentioned into the
Senate's investigation OF the regime
of Harry NJ. Daugherty as Attorney
General. Adna r. Johnson, a spe-
cfal assistant to Daugherty. who
passed on the case, told the Brook
hart committee that papers show
ing German ownership of the con-
Germ were not in the files whep he
studied them.
John T. King, former Republican
committeeman, Of Connecticut an
attorney in the case, is said to have
obtained large fee in Liberty
Bonds, according to information
given the Department Of Justice.
Miller, it was stated, has ex-
planned to the Department how he
came into possession Of some of
these bonds. Miller resigned as
Alien Property Custodian to be-
come a member of the Battle Monu-
ments Commission. He is now in
Europe.

LONDON, Aug. 81. Growing
trouble over the Mosul mandate and
the question Of whether MosuI
should be included in the Mesopo-
tamian territory held under British
protectorate was indicated in re-
ports from Geneva today, forcshad-
owing possible friction between Brit
ain and the League Of Nations.
The difference was predicated on
the Leagues Mosui report, said to
be unfaVorable to England. The
1eport contends. according to the
news reaching London. that Mosul
never was d part of Mesopotamia
and suggests that Britain either be
prepared to maintain the MosuI
mandate for twenty five years or re.
turn the territory To Turkey.

REV. DIR. WALDRON AND
DANCING.

WE HAVE RECEIVED a commun-
rcation from that brainy churchman,
Rev. J. Milton Waldron, D. D., in
which he announces his opp si,ion
to teaching of dancing in the public
echoo's Of Washington. 1t seems that
he has interested the Baptist Min s.
ters' Union and the Evangelical
Pastors Alliance in the movement.
Certainly both organizations have
undertaken big job and begun
movement against one of the largest
forts Of the enemy" in the country.
The report prepared by DR.. Wal
dron as chairman of the Committee
on Dancing in the Public Schools of
Wash ngtOn constitutes ringing in
dictment of this alleged evil. We
have never understood just how these
aesthetic instructions could be pro-
perly given at the public expense
They should be relegated to private
institutions, where competent in
struc.ors are already busily engaged
in training the young limbs how to
dance.
The less apparel worn for these
performances the better. The reason
for this kind of instruction is the
frsisten- demand therefor. The
mothers of the children dance and
set the example and the children
naturally follow in their own or some |
o her chtld's mothers foo, steps !
Dr.. Waldron says that men ranging
in ages from IS to 60 years dance
with these young girls. We would .
be pleased to receive information as
I. how he knows. Have some OF
these brazen young folks been bold
enough to invite this able divine to
dance with them?
But joking aside we are of the
opinion that the last days of Pom
Pen are HUN dt Attllu anu Iu'I 'AN
experiences of SodOm and Gomorrah
are again heaying in sight. Certain
it is that we are living in an age,
where fragrant disregard of all laws, (
both moral and divine seems to be
popular with all classes and true hu-
miity and divine worship fouted up
on every SIDE. When minister of
he Gospel under the plea CT mod"
ernism flaunt the divinity of Christ
and challenge the fundamental teach
ing of the Scriptures, naught else is |
to be expected.
Dr. Waldron is right in his con-
tentions, regardless of the protests
of these people he is attacking. He
should continue to cry aloud and
spare not In the meantime, he will
find in the ministerial group. no
doubt, men who will march with his
army" and chuckle with satisfaction
over every set back he may have in
his open warfare upon the evils of
today.

IRISH BOUNDARY
PACT IS ADOPTED
Question, Long an Irritation
to Both Britain and Ire
and, Settled.
BY the Associated Press.

by tne Associated Press.
LONDON, December 1.-THE Irish
boundary question, which long has
been an irritation to the people of
Ireland and to the British govern
lnent, finally has been settled under
the agreement reached in London a
short time ago by which the old line
dividing North and South Ireland re-
mains intact and the Irish Free State
IS ahSolved from paying to Great
Britain a large sum OF money to aid
In meeting Great Britain'S war debts.
The ParliamentS of Great Britain.
the Free State and Ulster have
adopted the agreement. and King
George, on behalf of Great Britain,
has given the measure the royal as
sent. Ulster previously had ratified
1t. and last night in Dublin the Dali
Etreann gave its approval by vote
of Il to 20 after four days of debate,
some of it acrimonious. AT the final
session Of the Dali President Cos
grove contended that the government
for the first time had secured the
good will of Northern Ireland. 1t
had done the best it could to settle
the disturbing question in an amicable
manner.
Eamonn de Valera. leader of the
Republicans, remains unreconciled.
Likewise the Republican deputies Of
the Dali have expressed unalterable
opposition TO what they consider the
partition of Ireland. Mr.. de Valera
at public meeting in Dublin said
Republicans might have to bow their
heads for time to enforce partition
by a foreign power. but their consent
TO this never would be given. The
right to win remained unimpaired to
those whom the future would bring
the opportunity, he declared.

Service to Dizzy Heights by Own Wits

personally into the rebel camp, killed
the leader and put down the rebellion.
Other recalcitrant chieftains and their
tribes also obtained short shrift at the
hands of Reza and his men, who are
equipped like any other modern army,
having tanks, airplanes. wireless sta
tons.
The Persian parliament, known as
the National Consultative Assembly,
has been retained by ReZa to carry out
his will in the manner Of a constitu-
tional regime. 1t Is this body which,
it is believed. has sanctioned his ele-
walton to the throne. Recent dis
patches have indicated that the gov
eminent was busy drafting regula-
tons for converting the Assembly and
that 1T was virtually certain that
Reza would be elected Shah.
The new ruler of the Persians had
little chance during his childhood to
obtain even an elementary education,
and it has been rumored that as far
as writing Is concerned he is only
able to sign his name.
