A few days ago natives
rioted. Blood was let. Police
officials attempted to prevent
a mass meeting and in turn
were injured.
Stones, bottles and sticks

Another wdS hurled to the

Others Were beaten. Rioters

Under the leadership of Nor

to protest against the dismissal
of Eli Baer, Government attor'

assistant to Pearson, and Direc-

All three of the dismissed
men were Democrats who did
not fit into the Republican plans
of the governor. They were let
out and the mass meeting was in
protest.

danger point; at which Britain
would run out on the Ameri'
cans, in the hope to unload
on the Americans, in British
interests, a senseless and I'M
necessary conflict that would
cripple all United States and
all japanese trade and ship
ping to the advantage of
Britain"
Japan, in a trade sense, in
relation to England today, is
pretty much as Germany was
before the World War.
Alone of the large countries,
her exports increased during
the depression, not a little, but
to dizzy heights.
She is building merchant
ships and sending them loaded
down with cheap products to
all parts of the world.
CONSTANT DANGER
The English manufacturers
look on with alarm and anger.
We in the United States have
been disturbed only little
for this reason: Japan must
buy her raw materials which
we can and do supply to off
set the effects Of japanese in
roads on our exports of finished
goods.
Make no mistake that the
japanese are alive to the fact
that the English manufacturers
are not going to give up their
world markets without a strug-
gle.
They know all the blunt
things which these same
Englishmen have been saying
about their cheap labor, cheap
prices and the yellow menace"
in commerce.
Admiral Phelps has an idea
that Wa Americans NAV not be
fully alive to the situation
and he writes:
by the resulting fumblings
of the Americans with world
courts, leagues, Geneva con-
ferences, pacts and consulta-
lions, the Americans are in
constant danger of having
themselves Unanswered into
fighting other peoples wars.
cit would appear that the
British continue to think the
Americans easy fruit. They
think that by patient intrigue,
Britain, in the next few years
or so, can create such a
Japanese hostility toward the
Americans as will eventuate in
each trying to kill off the
others competition with the
British sea-poWer control ana

Some eight years ago, when
he was on the Naval Board,
Rear Admiral William Wood
ward Phelps gave Charles Evans
Hughes. then Secretary of State,
quite a shock by a speech in
which he saw the possibility Of
war with England.
The admiral's idea was that
the American merchant marine,
built up during the war, had
become a menace to British
control of world commerce,
something with which John Bull
had not reckoned.
Secretary Hughes rushed into
print with the statement that
Admiral Phelps in no way re-
Elected the opinion of the Gov
eminent; that he was speaking
only as a private individual.
That was an era Of hands"
across-the-sea, naval disarma-
ment, a Socialist government in
England and advocation Of I'm
preparedness a dominant fac
tor in American thought.
Admiral Phelps, retired now
at the age of 81 after AZ years
of active service, speaks again
in a remarkably blunt letter to
a New York newspaper.
The burden of his thought
is that British diplomacy is
busily engaged with the prob
lem of Japan's commercial eX-
pansion and that the United
States had better look to it
that she is not Unanswered
into fighting war for the sal
walton of British trade. We
are today on the eve Of an
other naval armament parley.
A WARNING
This time it is no pacifist
government which speaks for
England. The imperialiSts are
back in the saddle and ad-
mittedly they are arming for
war and have renewed the al
lance with France as it was
before 1914.
AS to navies, England is
building, so are we, and so
is Japan. England is growing
cold to a conference at this
time and wants it put off.
The Japanese ambassador is
returning to America after a
summer at home devoted to
the working out of Tokyo'S
stand on the 5--5-3 ratio.
Admiral Phelps bases his
warning to his country on a
recent adroit move of the
British. They had secretly
proposed to our mysterious
minister without portfolio. Nor.
man H. Davis, an Anglo
American alliance against ia
pans demands for naval par
ity.
Then they gave out a part
of Davis reply which made

There's a wistful, pouty lit
tie baby on the book cover...
and before you've finished
reading you'll realize that
there's a wistful, pouty little
baby in the hearts of most of
us!
For instance, there's the case
of Mary. Mary likes to be sick.
Why should anyone be as fool
ish as that? Mary doesn't
know she's being foolish.
There's a very good reason
why she likes being sick,
though she isn't aware Of 1t.
Mary" say DR.. and Mrs.
REM, lis not as gifted with tai
ents which make for social sue
cess as her sister Helen. AS
the girls grow into young wom-
anhood there is a noticeable
difference. Helen has many
friends, she gets attention
and Observation-Disclosures Mary
does not.
LAS Helen wins friends and
social success, a great longing
is born in Mary's soul for the
same joys; and her unsuccess-
full attempts to get them con-
vince her more and more OF
her inferiority.
But one day Mary discovers
the joys of i'll health-and this
solves her problem! She is a
center of attraction. She gets
not only the attention of every
one in the household, but of
friends and neighbors as we'll
Can Mary be blamed for
clinging to these joys Of i'll
health? Can she be censured
for not wanting to leave her
place in the sun and give 1t
back to her sister Helen?
1T is not kind, nor is 1t
fair, to take the sufferings of
these 'invalids' too lightly. We
all know Marys who enjoy i'll
health.
There may be reasons for
their behavior other than a
feeling of inferiority. But
many times the underlying
cause is their inability to get
attention and admiration in
legitimate ways. In their at
tempts to make their role OF
invalid convincing, they often
convince themselves!"
You'll recognize Mary. You'll
recognize Mr.. A. and Mrs. B.,
too. And the bully" and the
"snob"-and Tommy, the bad
boy''-and Teddy, who's al
ways getting into jams. There
they all are, the kinky people
who make life so difficult.
There's how they get those
kinks.
And there YOU are also, If
you have the courage to admit
it! Read that book! 1t will
cost you only $50 cents-but
it will be worth a million
dollars in added tolerance and
tenderness.

On a specified day thereafter
he will be called to explain
whether or not he is eligible to

Some time ago Kenneth Lyd-
dane, former prominent Demo.
crat, who switched to the Fusion
party, was approached by
friend. The man explained that
he had gone to Reno for a d.
vorce and had established resi-
dence in Nevada. He wanted to
vote in Maryland.
Lyddane arranged his papers
so that his friend could ballot
and advised him of the intrica-
cies of election laws.
Then Lyddane left the State
of Maryland and established
residence elsewhere.
He returned to Maryland,
hoping to take a prominent part
in the election.
But Lyddane was stricken
from the eligible list.
He failed to heed the advice
he had given his friend.

Bring Thugs to Justice
City Outraged By Murder

The murder of MIR. Allen D. Wilson, newspaper route
agent while delivering papers in Takoma Park Nd, calls
for the most vigorous action the part of the police
Although the murder was committed on the Maryland
side of the boundary ne it is apparent that it was
planned and executed on orders from Washington.
MR.. WILSON WAS OBVIOUSLY THE INNOCENT
VICTIM OF THE GAMBLING WAR WHICH IS RAG
ING IN WASHINGTON AND WHICH HAS BECOME
ACUTE WITH THE RECENT ARREST OF SEVERAL
NOTORIOUS CHARACTERS.
The fact that Mr. Wilson was shot down by thugs who
mistook him for what is euphoniously known as a
sportsman accenuates the outrageous aspects of the
affair.
The thugs of Washington have for some time been
at odds among themselves. They have INDUCED in
reprsals against each other because of interference with
their business by others in the business!
This condition had previously led to several shootings
the victims those occasions being members Of the
s'fraternity.''
The towns bad boys now, however, are becoming
careless and visiting death upon law abiding and
upright citizens.
IT IS UP TO THE POLICE TO BRING TO A
SPEEDY END WHAT MAY LIKELY DEVELOP INTO
REIGN OF TERROR.
AND THE POLICE CAN DO IT.
Every of the Infamous scoundres who are preying
upon the city through the gambling ring known to the
authorities.
Most of these thugs the police have known for years.
After incident such that of yesterday morning
will be found that the police and detectives are able to
give pretty thorough explanations of how Mr. Wilson
came innocently to this death.
We will hear from Individual policemen lengthy
descriptions of the ramificatons of the gambling rings
They will be able to state just why the armed thugs
went into Takoma Park just why they surrounding
the house at which Mr. Wilson was delivering the paper
With all of the knowledge which is apparently in the
hands of the authorities the people Of Washington now
turn to them for action.
THE THUGS INVOLVED IN THIS TRAGEDY MUST
BE ROUNDED UP AND THROWN INTO JAIL.
IT WOULD BE WELL FOR CHIEF OF POLICE
BROWN TO ORDER HIS MEN TO BRING IN ALL
THOSE WHO ARE INVOLVED IN GAMBLING IN
THIS CITY-MOST OF WHOM ARE KNOWN TO THE
POLICE-AND FIND OUT JUST WHAT IS GOING
ON AND HOW LONG THE PEOPLE OF WASHING
