ASKOV OBSERVES
MEMORIAL DAY
The Rev. Charles 0. Denies of Mime.
apOlis Is Speaker; Picnic, Band Mu.
sic, and Ball Game Also Features.

The Askov community observed
Decoration day with fitting ceremonies
sponsored by the American Legion
and Auxiliary. At II o'clock parade
formed in the park and marched to
the cemetery where prayer, decora-
ton of the graves of war veterans,
salute to the dead and taps were Of
fered. After returning from the Gene
terry many partOOk of the lunch and
refreshments served at the Auxiliary
stand in the park. The band rem
dered a concert at 1890 after which
the Rev. Charles o. Denies gave an
excellent address which covered the
period of time from the scenes of STIR
ring bravery in 1776 until the present
time taking in short discussion of
the lives that have been lost in gain
ing and preserving what we have to-
day. The speaker enlarged on the
horrors of war and said that it would
be Is years more before the peak of
World war veteran disability would be
reached and that 10 millions lost their
lives in the World war dying by bull
lets or wounds, with 10000 Americans
lying buried in France. During his
talk the speaker brought out the i'm
pOrtance of having law abiding citi-
zenShip and the Importance and neces-
sity of having courageous lawmakers.
The speaker told of financial mag
mates sneaking in and taking advan-
tage of the war to make money-to
make money from the bloodshed of
others. Sometimes war is needed to
rid the world of evil. In closing the
Rev. Denies paid tribute to the Ameri-
can Legion saying that that body
did not uphold party politics but
rather world peace. He told of the
Legion's efforts toward alleviating
the suffering of disabled veterans and
of its mission toward all that is good.
After the speaking baseball game
between Pine City and Askov termin-
ated the days program.

WASHINGTON LETTER
Continued from Page u

automatically vacate next March. "A
long list of absentees would handi-
cap consideration of the treaty. Since
the Senate has in recent years been
elected by a direct vote OF the people,
it is highly essential that they should
stage campaigns in various sections
of their states, feat which Is not
entirely feasible when their presence
is required in Washington.
If the wet" and dry" issue is to
figure prominently in the Forthcoming
campaign there will be plenty of de-
batable subjects available. AS the
calendar now stands only a small per-
centage of the recommendations of
the President in his annual message
dealing with the general subject of
prohibition have been given consider
alton by the Senate and House. The
Congress authorized the transfer of
prohibition enforcement from the
Treasury Department to the Depart
ment of Justice, which President
Hoover sponsored. 1t appears, how
signed to tighten up enforcement will
remain in the legislative hopper for
considerable time. The House has
passed bills allowing defendants to
waive jury trials in Federal courts;
another providing for prosecution OF
petty offenders before U. S. Com
missioners; another defining petty
violations and prescribing for them
maximum penalties of six months in
Jail or fine of $500; and finally a
bill to permit prosecution on infor-
nation instead of grand jury indict-
ments. These changes proposed by
the House afe so sweeping that it
is doubtful that the Senate will give
it's approval without long study OF
the principles involved.
A letter appeared in the Congress
inal Record last week which has
caused considerable comment in the
Senate cloakroOms, as illustrative OF
the wide interest in the naval treaty.
1t has been claimed in many quar-
tiers that the controversy over the
treaty has been engineered by men in
official life, seeking publicity and that
the rank and file care nothing about
the proposition Senator Allen OF
Kansas filed letter from the Anti
Horse Thief Association, dealing with
the London Naval Treaty. This COM
municatiOn from an organization
which has not been heard from in
years has provoked concern among
Senators as to the scope of propa-
ganda dealing with the treaty.

the American delegates directly for a
consultative pact. but they did suggest
Mediterranean pact to the British in
exchange for q substantial reduction"
in tonnage. The British, after consider
ing the proposition and after being told
by Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson
that such a pact could not be accepted
by the United States, refused to discuss
any further the Mediterranean pact
proposition.
The assumption here is that on the
eve of the meeting of the Geneva Pre-
paratory Commission for General Dis
armament, France may try to force
Great Britain and the United States
into discussing privately at least the
possibilities Of such a pact. The rea-
Soning seems good.
Might Start Competition.
Both Great Britain and the United
States desire to reduce ornaments.
Great Britain, If France puts actually
into effect her huge naval program, will
be forced to take. advantage of the
escape clause inserted in the London
treaty. and the probabilities are that
the big naval people in the United
States will clamor for an equal read
justment of the American naval pro-
gram.
The British cannot easily afford an
increase in their naval estimates and
the United States does not want to
spend more money ON the Navy than
is absolutely necessary. This being the
situation. it is believed in all well in
formed quarters here that the French
consider this the psychological moment
to bargain with Great Britain and the
United States to obtain the much
desired security pacts.

TROOPS RECALLED
IN RACE FLARE-UP
Missouri Town Again Under
Military ControI-Most
CoIored Citizens Leave.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
STE. GENEVIEVE, Mo-, October 15.-
Ste. Genevieve was under military con-
troll today for the second time this
week after troops had been recalled
when new threats Of mob violence be-
came evident, resulting from the failure
of q colored mail carrier and his two
brothers to heed warning to leave
town.
Practically all other colored citizens
left here after the Staying early Sun
day of one white man and the fatal
wounding of another by three colored
persons, two men and a woman, in q
robbery.
Sheriff Asked for Aid.
Troops were rushed here from De
Soto and Festus after Sheriff zeigler
had appealed to Gov. Caulfield for aid
in preventing race rioting.
The troops, who had left for their
homes only yesterday after danger Of
trouble appeared over, arrived at
LAS am. today. They Immediately sur
rounded the court house and mounted
machine guns at vantage points around
the building.
The request for troops was made by
men, part of a group Of white men who
visited the home Of Louis Ribeau, col
ored mail carrier, and ordered Ribeau
to get out of town at once" or suffer
the consequences.
Feared Rescue Attempt.
Rumors that efforts might be made
to free the men caused the sheriff to
request troops.
Renewed feeling against the colored
people hared up last night after the
death of Paul Ritter, 38, second victim
of the attack by the three colored per-
sons Sunday, in st. Louis hospital.
Harry Panchot, service car driver, who
had been engaged by the colored trio,
was instantly killed.
The colored assailants Of Panchot
and Ritter are being held in the city
jail at st. Louis, having been taken
there by Sheriff zeigler as precau-
tionary measure.
