Aministration in dealing with foreign
affairs was never better eXemplified
than in the wide difference between
the presidents words and his actions
in the Chinese situation. On last Fri
day the Evening World carried a
special Washington dispatch on the
front page, which represented Cool
idge as stating that the government
would not make war on China but
would confine its military action in
the situation to the protection of
American nationals. Yet, no sooner
was his statement headlined in the
press than new instructions were is
sued by the war department which
sent more warships and marines sour
rying to the. Orient
1T appears that the United States
minister to Picking and the consular
officers turnout China have entered
into an agreement with the British
government for joint action against
the Chinese Nationalist government.
1t is noticeable that the Northern mil
itarists who had previously come in
for considerable criticism at the hands
of American correspondents are now
represented as champions of law and
order. Chang Tso-Lin. is at the mo-
ment the white-haired boy of the i'm
perialists tho it is doubtful if Chang
mas been successful in negotiating the
loans he expected as the price or his
willingness to serve foreign imperial
ism.
FOREIGN Minister Eugene Chen of
the Nationalist government states
in his official report on the Marking
affair that for every foreigner killed
in that city at least one hundred Chi
nese lost their lives IL the lombard
ment by British and American war;
ships. This statement has set the
imperialists gnashing their teeth with
rage. Consul John X. Davis, U. S.
stationed in Marking reports that
only three Chinese were killed Of
course Mr.. Davis is lying like bour-
geois gentlemen who holds Chinese
life as cheaply as the Chinese labor
the imperialists have been exploiting
for generations.
IT would appear that war en- the Ma
tionalist government by the United
States would not be to the advantage
of American manufacturers. China
provides an enormous market for the
goods of those manufacturing coun-
tries that have maintained friendly
relations with the Nationalist govern
ment. Great Britain might as we'll
kiss goodbye" to her Chinese trade.
Her crimes against the Chinese people
will be avenged in blood and tears,
and the loss of billions worth of
trade and investments. 1t is not sur
prising that Great Britain should seek
to drag the United States into the
Chinese quagmire. But why the Unit
ed States should embark on this VEN
ture is not so clear. That imperialists
of the world have common interests
against the revolutionary subject peo-
pies is quite simple but it does not
always work out that way. If the
brigands could only get together the
path of human progress would be
even tougher than it is.

THIRTY YEARS OF R. F. D.

Still unsung, but not less great for that, is the saga of the
rural mail carrier, that obscure and faithful servant who in fair
weather and foul gest Uncle Sans mail through. On occasion
he willingly braves the dangers of storm, winter or flood to
carry on for his government and those families back in the hills
and wales ever waiting to hear, through him, from the outside
world. There are times of adventure, romance and danger in
the unusually uneventful life of the "R. F. D." carrier.
The recent death in Washington of Perry S. Heath recalls
the founding by him only thirty years ago of the rural free
delivery branch of the United States postal service. Estab-
lishment of this vital mail service was the idea he carried
into the office of assistant postmaster general when named by
President Mckinley in 1897, and that his idea did not receive
the enthusiastic support of congress is apparent from the fact
that it was founded on an appropriation of $4,000.
One wonders if Heath back in 1897 foresaw that in 1927
this one department of the national postal service would have
an annual operation cost of more than 500, 600, 900 and would
employ $4,000 carriers. When he left office in 1900 there were
only 1900 rural carriers giving this service at a cost of S425,O 900

THE COMMUNITY SPIRIT

For many years Cody has enjoyed a rather enviable repu-
tation for having a real community spirit, and being a real live
town of boosters. This reputation was not earned by the ac-
tivities of any particular member of the Cody Community but by
the whole hearted manner in which the men of the community
Joined in those enterprises and projects which were worth while
and had to do with the development and upbulding of the town
and state.
Cody still maintains that reputation of being a livewire
town and city, and the same men are still behind the wheel,
pushing and cooperating in the community work. Yet an
organization to be worthwhile must continually have new blood
coming in, must add continually to its list of community work
es, to take the place of those who must retire as a natural
consequence of things. The town must grow and with it the
community club must grow, and as the town grows with an in
crease of new citizenry, so the circle which is carrying on com
munity enterprise must be fed by a continual flow of new mem
bers.
Are you doing your work in the community clubs of the
town. Do you do your share, or does the other fellow have
to work a little harder to accomplish both his and your share.
In the building of a town, and developing its opportunities to
the greatest extent, there is work for everyone. And that the
best results may be obtained everyone should do his full share.
You owe it to Cody to support it through it's community
club organizations. 1t is the work of these organizations which
has earned for Cody its reputation as a live town. And it
depends upon the cooperative spirit of the business of the town
IS to whether we can hope to hold this reputation. If each
one will do his full share there will never be a doubt as to
Cody's future.

THE R SYMBOL

Easter, anniversary of the Resurrection and real birthday
of Christian civilization, again is celebrated-as it has been for
nearly 1000 years.
Primarily it is a religious festival Christianity's rallying
day, on which the wise wandering sheep return to the fold to
hear inspiring sermons that give many a new lease on life.
The spirit of Easter is the spirit of the Resurrection-of
spring-the awakening of life, hope and happiness after the long
death of winter. In this sense, the Easter season is observed
even in heather countries. The budding lily and the Easter
egg are symbolic of the eternal re-birth of life.
Easter is the time to resurrect the best that is in us and to
face the future with reborn hope, tolerance and Christian kind
ness to our fellows, striving to extend the glad spirit of Easter
until it permeates all days of the year.

PATRoNIzE CODY STORES

Some residents do not realize to how great an extent they
are hurting home trade by occasionally ordering goods from mail
order houses, judging from the remarks we hear frequently
when we print an article against buying from ~out-of-town con-
Germs.
"What difference does it make" one resident remarked,
eff L send a few dollars to mal-order houses every now and
them"
Were her case the only one of it's nature in the city, it
would make but little difference, but individual cases in the
aggregate do make a great deal of difference. She is only one
of hundreds who are doing the same thing she is doing, and,
added together, the amounts total tremendously. 1t is the small
buyers that keep the mail order houses going. While we have
no way of knowing what the mail-orders average in any par
tucular house, yet it is safe to say that the sum is only a few
dollars.
The 1928 you send away today is not much in itself, but
when it is pooled with hundreds of other like amounts it makes
a substantial sum. That $298, or 90 cents, or however small
the amount may be, is a very important matter in every mail
order house. The sums form by far the greatest part of the
millions of dollars of mail order business done in this country
every year.
So spend your $298's with local merchants. If you do that,
you will not only be helping them and your city, but will also
be helping yourself by keeping more money in circulation here.
If you spend your $298 here, you stand a chance of getting a
part of it back some day, but if you send it away the entire sum
is taken out of local circulation.
In its campaign against out-oftown buying, the Enterprise
has called on local merchants to advertise their goods more
extensively, so that the purchasing public in Cody will be in a
better position to buy at home.

Mr.. Stump, attorney for the de-

other States.
Following the presentation Of the
defense, the three Judges withdrew to

hour later with their guilty verdict.
Sentence was pronounced in addi-

court also ordered DR.. Frankland to
secure Virginia tags for his car.
At this order, however, Mr.. oliver
objected, contending that DIR. Frank

he is citizen of that State, which he
! could not do by virtue of his legal resi-
dence in the District. No comment
was made in answer to this objection,

GRAND Jury GETS
APOLON|O CHARGES
Case Presented as Defense
Attorneys vainIy Wait
in Police Court.

While defense attorneys vainly
waited for the call of the case for
preliminary hearing in Police Court
Assistant United States Attorney
Ralph Given quietly went before the
grand jury in the District of Columbia
Supreme Courthouse, with witnesses,
shortly before noon today, to present
The Governments case against Dr.
Dee Hammer and Mrs. Anna Apolonio,
on charges of conspiracy to murder
Joseph Apolonio, husband of the lat
ter. The Government sought an in
dictment without preliminary hearing,
which had been scheduled for this
morning.
The move came as a complete sur
prise to the defense attorneys, who
were Informed that Mr.. Given had
gone to the courthouse for a confer
ence with United States Attorney
Peyton Gordon. They were awaiting
his return to begin the preliminary
hearing. The attorneys in the case
included George f. Mcneil and f
Joseph Donohue. who had been re-
tanned by Joseph Apolonio, husband
of the woman. who is charged with
plotting against his life. The husband
has repeatedly reiterated his absolute
faith in his wife and was instrumental
in having her released on $1,000 bond
week ago today following her
arrest.
The three other attorneys in the
case, representing DIR. Dee Hammer.
who is held in default of $4,000 bond
at the District Jail, are James r.
Flynn, Thomas j. Luckett and Ed
ward F. Myers.
Among those who were awaiting
turns as witnesses before the grand
jury were two surprise witnesses-a

he had been retained by DIR. Hammer

Thompson Is reputed to have given
police the first inkling Of the alleged
murder plot by telling Detective James
Lowry of the ninth precinct that a

the plot to him. Detective Robert +.

he obtained notes for $1.100 i'm ad. |

Other Jams Recalled.
Mindful of jams in years past, when
large crowds thronged from the city
over these bridges to Arlington, Mai.
Hesse placed Capt remmerman of the
fourth precinct in special command
OF preparations for the Highway
Bridge and Capt. Collins of the seventh
precinct in charge of arrangements at
the Key Bridge, with instructions
to see that jams were prevented.
The working out of details were left
to them. AS much assistance as they
need will be furnished.
While consideration today is being
given to widespread restrictions on
park ing in downtown Washington
during Saturday afternoon, as we'll as
to faci1itation of the handling of pc.
destrian traffic, Maj Hesse was writing
M letter to each Government depart
ment head asking that the suggestion
be passed to the thousands of Gov
ernment workers with automobiles
which they usually drive to work,
that 1T would be feasible and of vast
assistance to the police if they would
not bring the cars within a mile or
mile and half radius of the Capitol
or White House Saturday
While hesitant about suggesting
that the machines be left at home
entirely, nevertheless the problem of
the police is being put squarely up
to Government employees and others
using. machines to come dowtown
Saturday, of the mutual benefits to
be derived by themselves and by the
police by keeping the automobiles out
of the congested sections. This mes
sage Is to be transmitted to the
heads of all Government depart
ments, Maj. Hesse said, with a re-
quest that it be passed on through
convenient channels to all employees.
Courtesy Insisted Upon.
Finally. great stress is being laid in
the orders now in course of prepara
ton to the policemen who will be on
duty during the celebrate regarding
the need of impressing on visitors
that they are welcome in their own
Capital City.
