Attorney General Warns OF
Anarchy in Lac Defiance

Washington. In his first public
speech since becoming attorney gen
eral, John Garibaldi Sargent preached
to the Daughters of the American Rev
olution on the rearing of children. 1t
was blunt New England sermon on
obedience to the law, and especially
to the prohibition law, which Mr.. Sar-
gent did not mention by name but by
inference strong enough to leave no
doubt as to his meaning.
He said that as he passed about in
homes OF refinement and wealth and
power he-heard things which caused
him to realize certain citizens were
stretching their consciences to coun-
tenance the private violation of a law
which they would publicly uphold. He
told his audience that they passed
about in these same homes and i'm
pressed upon them as their solemn
duty the debt they owe to the nation
TO stop IT,

chy."

impressively. Twill make or break the
nation by what they teach their chill
dren before the age of ten.
'"The country is safe, society is safe
when the law is obeyed, not because
it is enforced"

Marx INSTRUMENTATION. 13, 700,0 900
Ernst Thalman. Communist. 100000
Had the Communists chosen to sup
port the Republican candidate instead
Of splitting the Republican vote, Hin
denburg's defeat would have been ac-
complished without much difficulty,
thus the Weimar bloc leaders blamed
the Communists for their defeat
Hindenburg Carries Bavaria.
Hindenburg carried the greater part
Of Bavaria, and he also did much bet
ter in the southern part Of Germany
than was expected This, with the
support given him in East Prussia. as
well as the northern part of the coun-
try, gave him the victory.
Despite the rain prevailing over the
greater part Of the country, heavy
vote was cast, equaling that of the
December reichstag election.

600 voters who failed to cast their bal
lots In the first Presidential contest
on March 20, when the total was 49,
100000, on Sunday voted for linden
burg, being unable to withstand the
magic lure of the marshaPs name.
Among the votes the marshal re-
ceived were those Of the entire Hohen-
zollern family. The former crown
prince and his wife voted at Gels,
while the rest of the former kaiser's
sons cast their votes at Potsdam, where
they live.

ruhe the police were able to keep the
situation under control.
The center of the fighting in Berlin
was again in the neighborhood of
Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial church.

Hawaii CAPTURED
BY BLUE FLEET
Islands Occupied After a
Thrilling Battle With
"Black" Army.

Honolulu.-Rear Admiral Coontz
and Major General Hines, chief UNI
pires in the United States Pacific war
game, called off the contest, with the
decision that the Blacks" or defend
ing forces, were defeated, when the
Blues" or attacking forces, consist
ing Of a United States fleet, captured
and occupied the Hawaiian islands.
The real lesson of the joint army
and navy exercises is that the Hawaii
an islands cannot be defended froan
attack by any large power except by
the guns of the American navy To de-
velop this problem. Hawaii was de-
Tended only by an army garrison,
twenty submarines, six deStroyers, and
ninety airplanes. as if the American
navy were in the Atlantic and unable
to reach the scene because the Pana-
ma locks had been destroyed by the
enemy.
Planes Fail to Sink Ships.
The Blues wiped out the Blacks"
through superiority of sea power. The
blue" victory was achieved In the
face of the BLACK" superiority in air
strength, as the Blue had only one
third the number of planes that the
BLACKS" had. The BLACKS" were I'M
able to sink or cripple any of the
eleven BLUE" battleships from the air.
Part of the blue" feet struck the
Islands a terrific wallop at l a. m,
while the battleships West Virginia,
Maryland, and Tennessee, executing
diversion. bombarded the west coast
of Oahu and the Wyoming made a
feint in Maunaloa bay, on the south
east coast
The remaining battleships, under the
command of Rear Admiral s. S. Rob
fnson, hurled hurricane of theoretical
shellf1re along almost the entire north
ern coast, clearing the way for main
landing force of 1900 marines, repre-
senting 10000 men, two hours later.
"Biues" Make Landing.
The "Black" army, under the COM
mand of Major General Lewis, expect
ed that the main attack would be in
that quarter, but was unable to stem
the BLUE" onslaught on account of
the havoc previously wrought by the
battleship fire on the land forces and
communications.
The umpires ruled that the "Blues"
made a constructive and successful
landing. although with severe losses.
Airplanes of both sides were shot
down theoretically in successive bat
ties for the control of the air and
several submarines and destroyers of
each force we're sunk in determining
if successful air attack could not be
projected from a "Blue" aircraft car
rier, the Langley.
"Blues" Suffer Heavy Losses.
Rear Admiral Robinson sent Rear
Admiral Mexican with scouting fleet
to seize Molokai and Lanai islands to
establish land flying bases. This
maneIver was carried out, but with
heavy losses, as the Blacks we.
prepared for the move.
One of Rear Admiral McDonald's de-
Tending "Black" submarines torpedoed
the Wyoming off Molokai and the UNI
pires pronounced her theoretically
damaged. Later the "Black" forces
sank the Blue" transport Shawmut
off Lanai.
