Meanwhile nearly everybody in

Policemen began dashing in from all

This is a scoundrelly libel on their

say they were gigantic men who
would have shot down on sight any

The subcommittee are said to be

as saying:

hoped that the American people will
come to realize our real situation and
will understand that these agreements,
the principles of which we recognize,
must be modified in our favor. We
have not the right to bind ourselves
to measures which it is beyond our
capacity to execute"
NJ Dariac is declared to have said
also that at the present moment there
are not 100 votes in the Chamber of
Deputies in favor of ratification of the
Washington debt agreement as 1t
stands.

RUM ROW GOING,
ANDREWS ASSERTS
British Agreement Will Kill
Liquor Smuggling, He Says,
Returning Home.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. August Rum row
faces immediate determination and
bootleggers have been dealt severe
blow in the sale of their home prod
ucts, in the opinion of Gen. Lincoln
G. Andrews. who has just returned
from negotiating an agreement with
Great Britain to curb rum running.
The agreement. Gen. Andrews be
lieves, is the first of its importance
ever to be reached through non-dlplo-
matte channels.
Instead of trying to come to an
understanding through diplomatic cor
respOndence, which il very dlfflcult 10
understand sometimes, and very
slow process at best, the British gov
eminent officials, out Of their natural
sense of law and order, were good
enough sports to invite us to come
and sit around table with them ana
clear up these matters in this novel
way" said Gen. Andrews.
Conference Is Success.
While Gen. Andrews refused to dis
cuss the nature of the agreement ar
rived at with Great Britain, he re-
ported that the conference was "l25
ner cent successful" The administra-
tive machinery provided for the agree
ment is to be founded on exchange
Of information and evidence. he SAID,
'-and will tend to stop illegal shipping
operations.
The eight recommendations in the
agreement have been approved by
the British foreign office and by the
United States Department of state
and will go into effect at once, &C
cording to Gen. Andrews.
Upon his arrival on the liner France
last night he was reminded that he
said that imported liquor was only ~
per cent Of the total sold In the
United States and that the Coast
Guard later announced that TINS 1lg-
ure had been cut in half
So even a 100 per cent blockade
would only reduce American con-
sumption 10 per cent, he was told.
Disagrees With Figures.
More than that he answered
"Every time a story is published that
100 cases Of liquor have been SNUG
gled in or have mySteriously d1sap-
peared from some warehouse, you
can bet that those 100 cases Will be
sold 10000 times. Every bootlegger
in town promises to get his clients
some of that good stuff and the re
suit is that a lot of home made liquor
is sold al increased prices.
Gen. Andrews denied that the
United States Government has poi
soned industrial alcohol in an attempt
to check liquor drinking. This was
charged in New York newspapers
yesterday.
THAT is just propaganda" he said
THE law for denaturing acohol for
industrial purposes was made in 1906
In order to protect Federal revenues"
He denied Government chemists
were working to make industrial al
cohol too odorOus to drink.

Gus departments, the President, while
bit gloomy over the prospect of a
possible deficit at the end of the next
fiscal year, is inclined to be convinced
that there is very little, if any, rea-
son to anticipate further appreciate
reduction in the total annual eXpendi-
ture. In expressing himself to that
effect the President has in mind the
Government as it is at present con-
structed. By changing that structure
through the medium Of practical reor-
ganization, he is satisfied there could
be some appreciate saving.
1t is not his aim to bring about
wholesale dismissals from the Gov
eminent service. This feature Of his
economy program is being taken care
of by the policy being followed, not
to fill all the vacancies in the Gov
eminent personnel caused by deaths
and designations. He does believe,
however, that many Of the Govern
ment's bureaus employ more persons
than is required. and, at the same
time, he has reason to know that
some activities do not employ q suf-
f1cient number. Because Of this state
of affairs, which, he contends. is i'm
possible to correct until there is q
complete reorganization, there is ur-
gent need for ALLEGATION of human eff
fort in the Government. There is
great need also for an elimination Of
duplicated effort and overlapping of
authority all Of which could be taken
care Of by reorganization.
Only Guessing at Saving.
Although he has consistently recon-
mended reorganization, the President
has never attempted to estimate the
saving in dollars and cents. Gen.
Lord even is disinclined to attempt
this. although he did say that there is
reason to expect a saving of from
$40 100000 to $20,000.000 annually. He
added, however, when asked to give
some basis for this calculation, that
it was more of a guess than anything
else. Some advocates of reorganiza-
ton have estimated the saving at
from one hundred to two hundred
million dollars. Senator Curtis of
Kansas, Republican leader of the Sen
ate is one of the latter. However, his
Idea of reorganization Is to abolish
virtually every independent agency
and bureau of the Government.
Secretary Of Commerce Hoover, an
ardent advocate of reorganization, is
another who is inclined to think the
annual savings would be far greater
than is anticipated by most. lie will
be at White Pine Camp tomorrow, and
it is thought likely that during his
conference with the President reor-
ganizatiOn will be one of the impor-
tant subjects brought up for discus
sion.
Secretary Of State Kellogg, who Is
to make an address at Plattsburg next
Wednesday. will arrive at White Pine
Camp Sunday. There is feeling here
that his speech will be of more than
ordinary significance and that the
President is anxious to go over it
with him.

LET THE RADIO DEVELOP NORMALLY

The success and the very existence OF radio
broadcasting depend upo nthe general public
that owns and uses receiving SETS The send
ing stations give them the sort of entertain
ment and instruction they want, or can be
educated to want.
In this country, the Government interteres
with and manages radio much less than IN
European countries. This, Secretary Hoover
holds to be very commendable. He declares
himself against any censorship on the broad
castesr, except such as can be exercised by the
listeners-in through the ordinary legal agen-
cies.
It is recognized that all problems OF dis
tribution of equipment and broadcasting can
not be solved at once, and care should be
taken not to move too fast in establishment OF
rules.

Many people beautify their front yards and

and flowers would transform them However,
the front yard is the first responsibility. 1t is
that the passerby sees first and last.

THE NEWSPAPERS SIDE OF 1T.

Once upon time bright paragrapher
wrote /. "A mans mail wilt reach him when
nothing else can" Somehow the saying lived
and f1ourished for while and then died. It
died because it was not wholly true. Admit
ting, however, that it is true that mans mail
will reach hi mhwen nothing else can, the
rub" comes when we analyze the meaning of
reach him. 1t is true that most men open
their mail. For good many years the mail
order houses have existed on the strength of
that fact But advertising must do more than
reach person. It must reach his needs,
his sense of fairness, his desire and interest,
and the conveniences of his pocket book.
Every mail-order advertisement that actual
ly reaches the spot. that is, makes a sale, the
newspaper can with eminent fairness claim
much greater result. The newspaper actually
reaches it's readers and the buying public.
1t is handed from busy father to busy mother.
The young men and young women scan it
The children peruse its entertaining features |
The newspaper is given credence because it
is strictly home product 1t is, or should be, I
reliable. 1t is part of the commpnity where
it is established. 1t is zone of the family"
If man will walk mile for camel" or
match, he will. so far inclination goes, walk
five for his favorite newspaper.
What, then has the newspaper to oppose?
Really nothing Wro, then are the newspa-
per's competitors? Strictly speaking, no
body. The newspaper field is wide, with the
conclusion of its possibilities unreached. No
form of advertising ever has, and none ever
will measure up in value to that of the home
newspaper. So we might we'll conclude by in
vertng this one: mans mail will reach his
waste-basket when nothing else will
