 FROM ALL BLAME

De Lapoer, who was managing di- rector of the British Chrysler Co.,, the Suffolk Investment O., and other individuals sued for an un- specified amount of damages. They claimed that in 1928, Chrysler and his associates forced the plaintiffs, by threats and misrepresentations to sell their Chrysler shares at less than their value to the Chrysler Export Co, De Lapoer also claimed compensation for loss of salary as r. aging director.
 ChrysIer Touched Up
 In summing up today before passing judgment, MT. Justice At kinson criticized the defendants severely. Regarding Chyysler he said:
 "rIe is reported to be one of the foremost industrialists in the Unit- ed States, but some of his answers show his standard of business morality to be lamentably low"
 The court paid tribute to the straightforward testimony of De La poer and Gerald Maxwell, one of his associates, who was . famous American wartime aviation ace.e

washington, Nov. 1l-UP) - The text of President Rooseveits Armlstice day speech follows:
 The living memory of the World War is close to each of us to-day. Our thoughts return to great ob- iectives of the past even as the minds of older men go back to their boyhood's ideals.
 We Americans were so placed that we gained a perspective of the great world conflict that was perhaps clearer than that of our fellow men who were closer to the scene of battle. For most of the first three years of the war, we were not participants; but during the final phase were ourselves engaged on many fronts.
 For that reason, perhaps, we understood, as well as any, the cries that went up-that the world conflict should be made 8 war to end war.
 We were not invaded nor were we threatened with invasion then or later; but the very distance of our view led us to perceive the dire results of war through days following peace.
 The primary purpose of this nation is to avoid being drawn in- to war. It seeks also in every practicable way to promote peace and to discourage war. Except for those few who have placed or who place temporary, selfish gain ahead of national or world peace, the overwhelming mass of Amer ican citizens are in hearty accord with these basic policies of our government, as they are also en- tirely sympathetic with the efforts of other nations to end war.
 Causes of War
 That is why we too have striven with great consistency to approve steps to remove the causes of war and to disapprove steps taken by others to commit acts of aggreS- sion. We have either led or per- formed our full part in every im- portant attempt to limit and re- duce armaments. We have sought by definite act and solemn com

 The native ASkaris are celebrating their advance by getting roaring drunk on lei, the favorite native drink. For food, they are buying cattle from the inhabitants, and either half cooking or eating it dripping and warm according to their fancy.
 Thousands of men are working on the roads. By almost superhu- man efforts guns are being dragged up to. the front along the trails, mounting and descending moun- tain after mountain. Some times there are 100 men with tow ro-:cs on one gun, in addition to 16 miles or Q trator.
 Tanks Climb All Hills
 More and more midget tanks are claHnbering up the hills and clank- ing into the front positions.
 At night the blaze of thousands of camp fires lights the country back to the old front, as in Civil war days.
 The trails are strewn with dead mules all the way.
 Truck drivers arrive at the front absolutely exhausted and faint when they try to alight after shutting of motors.
 The portion of the road passable to any wheeled traffic ends 12 1-2 miles back, but thousand men are building 1t up to Makale.
 Except for the rectification of lines it is expected that the advance in this region will halt for the con- solidation, which will take many days.
 Makale is to be the most vital strategic point on the front and the principal jumping of place for fu- ture push southward.
 Italian Flag Hoisted
 On the rampant of the fortress where the Italian flag was hauled down in 1896, Col. Mario Tosti, who entered with the Askaris Friday morning, formally hoisted the Ital- ian flag and amid the cheers of his men toasted it in coffee from his thermos bottle.

 The Italian army of the north in Ethiopia at Makale, objective of its second drive, celebrated the kings birthday with g review at which Gen. Emilio De Bono, com mander in chief of all East African forces, was to make his entry in state.
 In the southeast tanks, moter trucks, armored cars and camels cooperated in a birthday drive that was severing vital caravan routes to British Somaliland and repre- scented a serious threat to the main Ethiopian forces on. the eastern southern front.
 Drive of Flying Columns
 Dispatches from Asmara told of the astonishing drive northward of two flying columns, now united and working jointly, up the valley of the Fafan river from Gorrahei, which was captured last week.
 Units of the columns the dis patches said, have begun operations still further northward toward Daggah Bur, only 30 miles from Jijiga, chief eastern war base for the Ethiopian armies.
 The Ethiopian position seemed serious on the basis of dispatches received here from the southern front. '
 The tank-motor truck-armored car-camel columns under Gen Frusci and Col. Maletti were report ed not only driving northward al great speed but sending out smaller flying columns, reinforced by motor ized units, to the right in the direc- ton of the British Somaliland bor- der apparently to close beyond hops of reopening the important caravan trails.

When Col- onel Mott brought Foch's orders, Pershing had only to have forward ed changed orders which had been prepared in advance, ordering troops to cease fire at Il o'clock. Personal Diary
 General Pershing's personal diary shows the following entry for that day: aChaumont, Monday, November 16,lsl8.-Arrived here yesterday morning from Paris. Miss Margaret Wilson (daughter of the president) dined with us last night. This morning at 6 o'clock message came from Marshal Foch through Colonel Mott that hostilities would cease at Il a. m.

 When General Pershing and his staff arrived in Paris, they found a joy-maddened Paris stil celebrating. A million people had passed the whole night on the street, no whoars from their shouting and strained with fatigue. They had let out the enthusiasm which followed four years of worry and suffering. Pershing hastened, unrecognized, through thee rowds to the hotel on the Place de la Concorde which he still considers his home in France.
 The Armistice really halted the American army in full swing. It had taken a year to move theg reat army of 2,900, 900 young Americans to France. It had taken months ot training. In minor skirmishes they had proven their worth. At the Marne. at st. Mihiel, Chateau Thierry, Rheims, Fismes, Soissons the Argonne, and around Verdun they had written glorious history.

It will work in conjunction with the citizens traffic committee named several months ago, under the chairmanship of John M. Burrall. The staff of WPA workers will be headed by Robert E. Birt, and the publicity will be handled by the Chamber of Commerce. RepreSen- tatives of the New York insurance companies who helped organize the committee last year will be in the city, and posters and stickers calling attention to the safety campaign will be distributed.
 Payroll Staff In Doubt
 The future of the payroll staff of the EZRA, numbering 19 per- sons at the state armory on Field street, was also mathematical today. It is known definitely that this staff will not be retained as a unit by the WPA, although some of them may be given clerical positions in the new organization. All of the payroll work of the WPA is done at the New Haven office.
 According to Miss Eleanor H. Lit- tie, state EZRA administrator, thousands of persons in the state, will be out of jobs and once more on the dole this week. Miss Little, in statement to the press yester- day, expressed the opinion that ap- proval of the remaining EZRA jects by Friday was unlikely"

Save the Health Program.

Senator Thomas of Oklahoma, a
good friend of the District, suggests
the possibility that the 100000 or so
needed for the public health program
and for adequate maintenance of the
present staff at the District Health
Department may be obtained through
supplemental estimate. The desired
funds were approved by the Senate,
only to be stricken out In conference
on the District bill.
But. adds Senator Thomas, the sue
cess Of a supplemental appropriation
will depend upon Budget Bureau ap-
proval If the Budget Bureau recon-
mends approval, there is likelihood
that Congress will grant the money.
If the Budget Bureau does not ap-
prove, there is little chance of getting
the funds.
The Commissioners should immedi-
ately make the test. They have a
strong case. The need for the money
is so plainly manifest that little argu-
ment should be required. The Com
missioners have the strong backing of
the medical profession. not to mention
the District Health Officer and the
welfare and other citizens groups,
which know from first-hand, every
day experience the conditions which
demand remedy. No one can logically
deny that the money is urgently
needed to meet real need.
The community expects the Commits
sioners to present the matter to the
Budget Bureau and Congress in such
manner that if the necessary ac-
ton is not taken the consequences of
refusal will be plainly understood,
and the responsibility for refusal
placed beyond shadow Of doubt.

Washington's Weather.

Attention has been already called to
the physical changes which have taken
place in Washington in the course of
the twelve years that have elapsed
since the Shriners last came to this
city for their annual meeting. 1t is
in order likewise to note that the
weather has improved. In 1923 the
Shrine was greeted at the Capital
with climatic ardor. The temperatures
ranged high. The maximum on Mon
day, the day Of arrival, was ninety
four degrees. On Tuesday it was
ninety-three. Then came some rain
and a slight cooling of, with a maxi
mum temperature of eighty-seven on
Wednesday and of lightweight on
Thursday. That was a pretty hot
town for the paraders and the sight
seers. But few complained. The hosts
were apologetic, but nothing could be
done about it. True, the rest of the
country was hot along with Washing
ton, and the Capital did not come in
for any particular criticism as a con-
vention city.
This time the weather is more suit
able for a big crowd and festive
occasion out of doors. The tempera-
lures are ranging ten, fifteen and
even twenty degrees lower than In
1928. Tomorrow may see an upward
tendency on the part of the mercury,
but it is not likely that there will
be any such excessive ardor Of vel
come and enthusiasm on the part of
the elements as to equal the 1928
record on any occasion during the
convention.
Taken altogether Washington Is an
ideal meeting town. Its physical adj
vantages for parade and pageantry
are unequaled anywhere in America.
It was well designed in the beginning
for such displays and recent changes
have improved it in this respect. 1t
lies midway in the range OF meteor
ological extremes. 1t gets its reason
able amount Of heat in Summer and
its share of cold in Winter. 1t is
about as comfortable place in which
to live and which to visit as can be
found anywhere.

FavOrs Severe Penalty
For Every Kidnaper

To the Editor of The Star:
The numerous kidnapping cases.
which have increased in boldness and
numbers in America the last few
years. show that criminals do not fear
the law in this country as they do
abroad, and it is because law-abiding
society has been too lenient and often
sends dangerous criminals to penal
institutions for only a few years and
then they are out again on parole and
preying upon society. I favor either
the death penalty or a life sentence
without the privilege of parole for all
kidnaperS, for nothing is more con-
temptible than kidnapping, and the
anxiety it causes the family Of the
victim. as they do not know If he (or
she) is dead or being tortured, and
the mental strain and cruel suspense
inflicted shows the callousness of all
kidnapers. 1t was good to give Volney
Davis life Imprisonment for his part In
the Bremen kidnapping case, as it may
be an example to others and at least,
being in prison, he cannot again par
take in future criminal activities and
his detrimental influence upon others
is removed permanently. believe
In endeavoring to reclaim and salvage
all criminals possible, but I talked
once to the warden Of q large penal
institution, and he told me the parole
system is dangerous where hardened
criminals and gangsters are concerned,
as it let them out after short term
OF years to prey again upon society.
And men who are kidnapers are gen.
orally the most hardened type and are
like dangerous animals in one respect,
and for the sake Of law-abiding society
and helpless little children must be
kept where they can be curbed.

announced new rates which were
higher than those tacitly approved by
the Public Utilities Commission. And
later still it developed that only
portion of the taxicabs had boosted
their rates. Others we're operating on
the old schedule. and reporters dis
covered to their confusion and amaze
ment that the latter were talking Of
second strike If the rate-boosting
cabs did not resume the old rates.
OF course. there is little sense or
direction in such business. The taxi
cabs, along with g public educated
recently to become dependent on their
services, have been penalized for no
good reason. AS demonstrated, If the
cab operators wanted to increase their
rates, there was nothing to prevent
them from doing SO. The strike was
wholly unnecessary. And even now
it is a question whether the higher
rates were desired by all the drivers.
The pending District bill, now
awaiting the Presidents signature,
carries the usual ban against enforce
ment of any public utilities regulation
requiring meter installation, but for
the first time gives the Public Utilities
Commission authority to prescribe
uniform rates and zones. The COM
mission will begin work to that end
when the bin becomes law. There are
few who will dispute the justification
for higher rates than exist now. But
a good many drivers have contended
all along that they cannot survive
with higher rates, because patronage
will suffer.
1t is high time that the taxis were
placed under reasonable regulation,
not only as to rates and zones, but as
to the requirement that they assume
financial responsibility in the form
of compulsory liability insurance.

Peace in South America.

Neither League of Nations diplomacy
nor Pan-American craftsmanship has
any occasion to plume itself over ces-
sation of the war between Paraguay
and Bolivia, but there is, neverthe-
less, cause for qualification that hos
tilities in the Gran Chaco have sub
sided, with every prospect that a
twelve-day truce will lead to formal
peace. For almost exactly three
years the two little countries have
been at each others throat and in
the process nearly bled themselves
white. Casualties on both sides total
not far from 100000, a figure believed
to exceed the aggregate of the forces
engaged at any one time since the
conflict began early in the Summer
of 1882.
AS the tide of battle ragged and
fiuctuated around the wilderness
which was the bone of contention,
the League at Geneva and neutral
American nations, including the
United States, made intermittent and
more or less persistent efforts to stop
the bloodshed and persuade the Para
guayaps and Bolivians to arbitrate
the Chaco controversy. Each side,
convinced that prolongation of the
fighting would produce victory, in
sisted upon making more and more
sacrifices Of life and treasure, with
the result that both the Leagues
peace efforts and those of the neutral
American states were doomed to
futility. Even embargoes on shipment
Of arms failed of their purpose. Now,
at last, good sense has prevailed in
the belligerent capitals, and the gov
ernments at Asuncion and La Paz
have agreed to submit their border
and territorial dispute to arbitral set
tlement. The truce provides for de-
mobilization of the armies and for
guarantees against a renewal of hos
tilities. Meantime the opposing forces
will retain the positions they occupied
when the armistice was signed.
From Buenos Aires, where peace
was finally arranged, come warnings
that an eleventh-hour hitch may yet
wreck the work of pacification, but
popular rejoicings in both Paraguay
and Bolivia leave no doubt that the
peoples Of the two countries, who have
paid so dearly, crave a final and irrev-
ocable ending Of the sanguinary and
senseless strife. 1t is almost incon-
ceivable that either the statesmen or
the military authorities of the bel
ligerent states, having found it pos
sible to arrange truce, would have
the criminal foolhardiness to let it
drift into renewed warfare.
The people and Government of the
United States, deeply concerned in the
welfare of all the Americas, rejoice
that conflict in the Chaco has termi-
mated and hope sincerely that 1t is
really peace and not merely an armi.-
stice.
