And What
They Do
New ZonuI Defense Of
Germans Devised by
Gen. Won Lossberg
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.

Dy ODA nN Vim
One of wars little ironies appears
in news story today, recalling that
Germany's west wall "zonal' defense
system was planned by Gen. Fritz
Won Lossberg.
In 1925 Gen. WEIGH, head of the
Inter-Allied Commission, led the
commissions effort to have Gen.
Won Lossberg appointed head of the
German Army. Leaders of the Ger
man republic vigorously opposed
the appointment on the ground
that the general was IAN ultra re-
dictionary right radical monarchist'
who would lead Germany again on
the path of aggression. The COM
mission persisted and the Berliner
Tageblatt conducted a vigorous
campaign, appealing to the allied
powers to help Germany maintain
its republic and not drive it back
to its old ways. Combined Junker,
Monarchist and allied support for
the general was finally overcome
and he was Standardization the
time. But, in the later absolutist
government. he and his ideas came
TO full flower, in the new zonal de-
tense and in the strategic system
which he evolved.
He is thoroughly unreconstructed
German war lord, of the Won Bern
hardl school, and his swift rise in
the World War was perhaps the
most sensational flare of military
genius in that engagement. He did
not attain the rank of colonel until
July, 1915. A few months later,
at the peak of the French offensive
in Champagne of that year, he be-
came chief of the general staff of
the third army. Late in the autumn
OF 1917, he became chief of staff to
Gen. Sixt Won Armin, then the Ger
man commander in chief in Flan-
ders. 1t was at that time that Prof.
Wegener of the Cologne Gazette
began resounding build-up for
the general as "the master mind
OF the German defenses of the west"
So here he is again. doubtless with
less allied concurrence than a few
years ago.
World War news stories described
the general as man of insuperable
endurance and energy and defined
him as the man who got less sleep
than any other in the period of
the war, going through one full year
without more than four hours con-
tinuous sleep. The Berliner Tage-
blatt scored him as "Germanys
most violent antagonist of liberal
or humane government"

merchant ships to arm themselves
to fight OIL German submarine at
tack, when this country was not
yet involved in the war. 1t was
dubbed armed neutrality.
The Senators, 13 in number. who
filibustered the armed neutrality
resolution to death at the close Of
the short session" Of those days,
were called by President Wilson a
little band of willful men," The
Congress adjourned March 4 that
year: President Wilson was reinau-
gurated-for a second term-and
on March the Senate assembled in
special session. The lawmakers i'm
mediately took up the matter Of
amending the Senate rules, so that
something might be done to limit"
debate and bring a vote in the
Upper House when filibustering tao
tics had been adopted by minor
ity in order to prevent action.
Feeling was running high at that
time. Even 50, the extent to which
the Senators were willing to go in
the matter Of cloture was new
rule requiring a two-thirds vote Of
the Senate to apply limitation Of
debate. The rule, now known as
the cloture rule. says that If at any
time a petition is signed by l6
Senators to brings to a close debate
on any pending measure, the pre-
siding officer shall Immediately
state the motion to the Senate, and
one hour after the Senate meets on
the following calendar day but one,
he shall lay the motion before the
Senate. 1t shall then be voted on
without further debate: the ques-
ton being "Is it the sense Of the
Senate that the debate shall be
brought to close?"
Limit Of Hour Placed.
If two-thirds of those voting shall
take the Affirmative, then the pend
ing measure shall be the unfinished
business of the Senate to the eX-
clusion of all other business until
disposed of. After the oloture rule
has been invoked, no Senator shall
be allowed to speak for more than
one hour on the measure and
amendments and motions affecting
the same.
1t is clear that if all the Senators
desired to use up their allotted
time after invoking cloture a de-
bate could still run 96 hours AS a
practical proposition that would not
happen. However, If 80 Senators
were opposed to the pending meas
ure, most of them might take their
whole time, and presumably some
Of the proponents of the measure
would have something to say.
The suggestion that cloture be
applied to a bill to repeal or amend
the present neutrality laws, espe-
cially to do away with the manda-
tory arms embargo, already has
stirred up the opponents of repeal.
Senator Borah of Idaho yesterday
sounded of on the subject. 1t is
his view that an attempt to gag"
the Senate on such ar. important
subject would be and should be re-
jected by the Upper House.
The Senate has always been jeal-
GUS of the privilege of unlimited
debate which its rules provide. AS
has been pointed out, even when
feeling was running high because

There's no longer any reason why one
should put up with antiquated and

kitchens that are obsolete; porches
that are both unpopular and impractical;

the kitchen cheerful and convenient;
converting that porch into cozy den;
and the cellar into recreation room
where family and friends can spend
many happy hours.

FISHER-In memory Of Samuel H
Fisher, who departed this life, Sep
tember 2l. 1881:
Remembrance is a golden chain.
Death tries to break; but all in vain;
To have. to love and then to part.
Is the greatest sorrow of ones heart
The years may wipe out many things
But this they wipe out never.
God, in His wisdom. has recalled
The boon His love has given;
And though the body slumbers here.
The soul is safe in heaven.
Why should our tears in sorrow flow?
When God recalls His own.
And bids them leave world
OF woe, for an immortal crown,
His tolls are past, his work is done.
And he Is fully blest;
He fought the fight. the victory won.
And entered into rest.
How long he struggled against
Disease which baffled skill and care.
He suffered much and murmured
Not as watched him day by day;
God took him home. He thought it best
He saw his sufferings here were great.
And opened wide the Golden Gate.
Because he went ahead.
Now heaven seems only a step
Beyond our cherished dream
The youthful hand has lifted up the veil
Between two worlds and we will never
fail to find
The mountain patch. the upward flight
That leads to where he dwells on heaven
heights.
pray that each may warning take,
Get ready for the call;
For dearest friends on earth must part
Death comes to one and all
When summoned home above the sky
To meet again up there.

And see mo vacant chair.

Ask u. S. To Abandon
Its Duties

In his address to the Mexican Con
gress on September first President
Cardenas made a final. last desper.
ate effort to maDeuver the despoiled
oil companies and the American Gov
ernment into a position of discuss
ing valuation and compensation.
The solution of the oil controversy
is easy, according to Cardenas, If
only the United States Government
doesn't permit itself to become in
vOlved in a question which concerns
only Mexico and the oil companies.
In fact, Cardenas said badly that
"the essential problem became then
the amount and manner of payment
for the indemnification of it under
our laws"
All of this is very pretty on it's
face If one cannot see through the
makeup In this instance the make
up attempts to cover up:
(a) Mexican constitution.
Cb) Five decisions of the Mexican
Supreme Court.
(c) Two agreements with the Uni
ted States.
I'D Numerous messages to our
Government by high-placed
Mexican Government officials.
All of the foregoing have given
official Mexican assurance that sub
soil rights were invested in the own
ers of title of legitimately acquired
oil lands. The Mexican government
has raised no question of flaw in
such titles. Instead Cardenas seized
the oil properties on the pretext of
labor difficulties. And having gained
possession of them by indirection,
which neither Mexican nor intefna-
tiOnal law would have sanctioned by
direction, Cardcnas now seeks to
force the despOiled companies to
knuckle to his demands.
1t should be apparent to all Uni
ted States officials, other than the
wishful thinkers, that the American
citizens wronged by Mexico cannot
possibly get justice from Cardenas
when his government is actively in
terested in seeking to destroy their
legitimate subsOil rights.
For twenty-five years our State
has successfully re-
sisted Mexico's repeated efforts to
destroy the major part of the value
of the producing properties by her
false claims of ownership of sub
soil rights.
Mexico now seeks to cause our
State Department to abandon its
long time defense of legitimate Am
erican rights so that she might get
herself out of the untenable position
brought about by her wilful act of
in 1888. Otherwise the
vast sums involved make cOmpensa-
tion impossible and therefore a re-
turn of properties is required under J
law. Every artifice
known to Mexico, learned from long
experience in stealing American
is being employed to ac-
their final blow.
