I am frankly alarmed about Great Britsinis rela-
tons with America. Our relations with European coun-
tries are better today than ever. and 7 wish | could say
the same about the United States.
But as our relations get better our ~srmaments get
bigger. As our friendship improves. 40 do our
weapons. The mailed fist may be useful, but IL is no
good for a hsndshake. The guns that went into action
in 1914 we're mere toys compared to those Of Europe
Al the present moment.
II is no use outlawing war when We are building
cruisers. heavy guns, bombing machines. and turning
out the most poisonous gases. All Europe II engaged
in it, sSd even President Coolidge is joining in.
The naval accord has we'll been called a eompro-
mise. 1t compromises our honor and the peace of the
world. I hope il has gone forever.
So long as VIC 20 on with huge ornaments in the
face of our pledged word. the covenant Of the League
of Nations. the Locarno Treaty and the Kellogg Pact
are mockeries and sham.
| shall wait and see what Locarno means. and until
Germany claims arbitration in the Rhinelsnd that will
be the real test.
am told that our relations with France and Ger
many are better than they have ever been. But I am
most concerned about the situation as regards America.
The nations are sharpening their knives On the very
stone Of the temple Of peace.

NO AREN'T TWINS
ONLY ONE GIRL

The origin of the report that
twins were born to Congressman
and Mrs. Samuel Arentz in Wash
ington last week, instead of one
baby girl, is explained in letters
that have been received from the
Arentz family.
Anticipating a new member OF
the family Mrs. ArentZ wrote
several letters to Nevada friends
containing the words that "a boy
-girl-had arrived" She then
instructed Mr.. Arentz to strike
out the word boy" if the baby
were agirl, and to strike out the
word girl" if it happened to be
a boy.
Following the arrival of the new
baby the congressman forgot all
about instructions, but instead
mailed the letters without change
AS a result those receiving them
took it for granted that both a
boy and a girl had been added to
the Arentz family Reno Even

PETE PHANTOM
AGAIN IN PRISON

Pete Piantoni. native of Italy.
and former resident of Clark Coun-
ty, was convicted of first degree
burglary in OrmSby County, the
Goth of last month and sentenced
to term in the penitentiary.
Piantoni has to his discredit q
criminal record which has includ-
ed a killing, bootlegging and bur-
glary, and as far as the records
show his career of crime began
III Las Vegas. On New Years Day
1917, Piantoni engaged in
drunken quarrel with Peter Lor-
EMO OF GoOdsprings, in VIM. Tay-
lOrS saloon, which resulted in his
being elected from the place. La
ter he re-entered and approached
the end of the bar. Two men
stood between him and Lorenzo,
and quietly Piantoni reached in
front of these two men, and stab
bed Lorenzo in the abdomen with
theopened knife he carried in his
hand
LorenA's wounds proved fatal,
and he expired the following morn
ing at sunrise.
Sheriff Sam Gay happened to
be spending the night at the Good
springs Hotel, and within an hour
after the cutting affray had taken
Piantoni into custody.
Some of the local Italians raised
a substantial fund ana employed
A. Grant Miller of Reno to de-
fend Piantoni who was tried for
murder during March 1917. Miller
succeeded in getting his client
off with a verdict of manSlaugh-
ter.
In 1919, having been paroled.
Piantoni returned to Las Vegas,
and was found tending bar in block
l6 when the place was raided by
county officers. He was returned
20 Carson City. having violated
his parole.
A short time ago he was again
paroled, and sent Sheriff Sam Gay
word he was coming down to get
him. Sam sent back word to
came along, but to be careful as
he (Sam) might see Piantoni first
Apparently Piantoni was out to
raise travelling funds, and his en-
terprise resulted in landing him
back in the penitentiary, where
he is likely to remain for from
two to fourteen years.

GIVEN PLAQUE
LOCAL UNIT OF UNION
PACIFIC REACHES HIGH
PLACE IN SAFETY FIRST
WORK. MEET Is HELD
HERE.

The Las Vegas Transportation
and Las Vegas Shop Safety COM
mittees held their monthly meet
ing in Las Vegas yesterday.
The particularly interesting fea-
lures of these meetings was the
presentation by Chief Safety Agent
w. r. Spettigue of the bronze
plaque awarded the L. A. & S. L.
unit of the U. P. for accomplish
ing during the year 1927 the low
est frequency of injury to employees
on duty in contest with Aderican
railroads working from ten TO
twenty million man hours annual
ly.
The Council awarded seven such
plaques, four of which were pre-
Sented to the Union Pacific System
and its subsidiary lines
The National Safety Council is
the largest institution engaged in
accident prevention work in the
world, and the award coming from
this body bespeaks the high COM
pliment that is paid the employees
of the L. A. & S. L. unit and other
properties winning the plaques.
The interest of local officers and
employees to all appearances is at
a keen edge and from every indi-
cation it is apparent that through
out the remainder of the year
their fullest ecortS will be di-
rected toward accomplishing the
heretofore seemingly impossible
task of winning the Union Pacific
system contest that is conducted
annually between the different
units of that property.
