CAILLAUx'S ARREST
Jan. IA

ON Jan. IA, 1918, Joseph Call
~ laux, former French premier,
was arrested in Paris on suspicion
of reasonable activities and lodged
in the common prison known as La
Sante.
It was charged that he had been
in communication with the Berlin
fore ign office, and that his object
was to conclude a peace at any price
so that he could resume his bust
ness.
His arrest was due in part to a
cablegram from Secretary of State
Lansing of the United States, who
furnished evidence that M. Caillaux
had been in communication with
the Berlin foreign Office as far back
as 1915.
M. CailIaux had gone to Argen-
tina, and the United States had in
tercepted a message of Ambassador
Won BernStorf from Washington re-
garding M. Caillaux's activities.
Speaking in the chamber of
deputies, before a vote was taken
depriving him OF his parliamentary
immunity, he said: Never have
tried, directly or indirectly, to come
into contact with eur enemies"

What is the. origin of the rod
twined with serpents as insignia for
the medical corps of the United
States army?
AeSculapius was the Greek god of
medicine. His chief temple was at
SpidauruS. SerpentS were sacred to
him because they were a symbol of
renovation, and were believed to
have the power of revealing healing
herbs. He is frequently represented
with rod twined with serpents.
The symbol is sometimes confused
with the caduceus of Mercury, the
god of commerce.

The Dramatic Quality

DUT this isn't fashion talk. It
ID has nothing to do with what
the well-dressed man will wear. We
are talking of deeper necessities.
We are talking of keeping frost
away from the toes of the shoeless
and of putting a little wool on a
mans back to temper the winds of
winter.
Even now I do not feel that Amer
lea has quite awakened to the dra-
matte quality-the compelling quail
ity-of the problem which we have
to meet. In spite OF eloquent pleas
made by many we haven't precisely
seen this situation in terms of a
calamity.
We haven't been as freely gen.
erous to the unemployed as we have
in the past to victims of cyclone,
flood. or earthquake. And yet this
is bigger than any cyclone or flood

that to which Mrs. Massie, 20

DR.. Charles B. Davenport, a noted
authority on the subject of hered-

reduce to fit pony'S harness.

animals its own inherited body build

THREE BUDGETS
PROBLEMSFOR

Federal, State, New York City
Finances Studied, With
Expert Advising

WARM SPRINGS. Ga, Dec, 3
QN.S).-It's just. one budget
problem after another these days
for President-elect Roosevelt.
Ever since his election, Mr..
Roosevelt has been worrying
about how the Federal budget
will be balanced. At the same
time, as Governor Of New York,
he is faced with the necessity
of balancing the State. budget.
Now, on top of all this,
Governor Roosevelt is called upon
to recommend measures to a
special session of the New York
legislature, which will be con-
vened December 9 to aid New
York city in balancing its budget.
Budget Expert Consulted
Governor Roosevelt, according
to his advisers, is confident the
Federal budget can be balanced
with the aid of a. tax on beer,
drastic reductions in expendi-
lures, consolidation of bureaus
and commissions, and elimina-
ton of unnecessary governmental
activities. ...............
At odd moments for the past
few days he has been attend

with former Representative Swa-
gar Sherley of Kentucky as
teacher. Sherley was chairman
of the House Appropriations Com.
mittee in the Wilson Administra-
ton and is looked upon by Mr..
Roosevelt as the country's fore
most budgetary expert.
Even though he will not take
over the reinS of the Federal
Government until next March,
Governor Roosevelt is giving Seri-
Gus thought to unemployment re-
lief. He has said that, as
President, he would recommend
new and higher taxes rather
than have anyone starve.

In War Debt Maneuver

BRUSSELS. Dec. 3 G.N.SO.-
The Belgian cabinet today ap-
proved the text of the new Bel
gian war debt note. which prob
ably will be sent to Washington
December 10.
The note is believed to declare
that Belgium would be forced to
borrow from other countries to
pay the United States the Decem-
ber Is inStallment.
Since parliament does not con-

understood the government will

taken by the Klansmen is not
known, but it is believed they
will maintain patrols along the

: needed.
Police, however, plan to rush
the marchers through the State
without stops. Special precautions

British Seek LoophoIe in Old
Pact, Hoping for Embargo
If Debt Must Be Paid

LONDON, Dec. 3 QN.So.-De,
spite the threat of trade reprisals
voiced by Great Britain in its
latest war debt note to the United
States, it was learned today that
the British government may not
be able to institute special tariffs
against America without giving
IL months notice.
The revelation came as a re-
suit of examination Of existing
commercial treaties between the
United States and Great Britain.
The treaty providing for IL
months notice of any radical
tariff changes was signed in 1915.
Government legal experts who
are studying the situation, how.
ever, believe that Interpretations
placed upon this stipulation by
the United States during the past
century may leave a loophole for
immediate imposition of special
duties.
It was conceded, however, that
any such action would be at
tended by great difficulties.

therefore even accept a situa-

than their trucks during the
three nights of their stay.
However, we hope still to be
able to induce the proper
authorities to assist in the
solving of this problem and
especially will direct ourselves
to securing more housing in
private homes.
CHARGES INTIMIDATION
"In connection with the lat
ter, we must point out that
the activities of the police have
greatly interfered with this
effort. Police invaded meetings
in private homes where neigh
bOrs had been called together
to make such arrangements
and intimidated the workers,
driving them out of meetings
before they could complete
arrangements"

might remain in Washington
longer than the three-day sta!

"Our ability to carry out our

Walter Steele Also Protests
, Against Shaw and Trotzky
Beinq Admitted

Prof. Albert Einstein, interna.
tionally known scientist, is
accused of indirectly assisting in
plans for the national hunger
march in a communication, pro,
testing his admission to the
United States, received at the
State Department today.
The letter, signed by Walter S,
Steele, editor of the National Re.
public Magazine, is addressed to
A. Dana Hodgdon, chief Of the
Visa Division, and asks that Elm
stein, George Bernard Shaw and
Leon Trotzky be refused permis
sion to enter the United States
on the grounds that they are
active Communist workers.
Aided Reds, He Says
Anent Einstein the letter says
| "On March l, 1884, Einstein
wrote to and felicitated the
Workers International Relief
an American section of q
branch of the Third Interna-
tiOnal of Moscow, with U. S.
headquarters in New York city.
He stressed the Importance of
their work in "a country (the
United StateS) in which the
individual is SO inSufficiently
protected This felicitatiOn was
evidently written for the def
mite purpose for which it was
uSed-in connection with a Red
fund drive throughout the
country by that Communist
branch.
"The Workers International
Relief is the organization which
finances the sO-called Hunger
MarcherS and Bonus Marches
on the National Capital. Elm
stein has therefore indirectly
assisted in financing these Red
mass demonstrations in the
United States"
The letter further portrayS
Einstein as an official and active
worker in various atheistic and
,Communistic organizations and
declares:
"Einstein's continual med
ding in our national affairs
warrants the protest of all
American citizens who have a
desire to prevent the further
intrusion of such trouble max
i. Ing aliens"
Attract Following
:, In urging the exclusion of Elm
stein. Trotsky and Shaw, Mr.
Steele asserts:
:: individuals of this type can
be considered far more danger
i. Gus than the average soap box
agitatOr, because by the prOmi-
+. nence they have obtained
through shrewd publicity, play
ing them up as geniuses in
science or the arts, they attract
a certain following that the
soap box agitatOr cannot pos
sibly reach, although the theO-
rieS they PROFOUND are iden-
teal"
: The five-page letter, setting
: forth in detail Einstein's alleged
connection with Soviet organiza
tions and his supposed interven
ton in various American affairs
also will be brought to the atten
ton of the Bureau of Immigra
ton, Mr.. Steele announced.

small but growing sentiment in
