LEAD WORLD IN TELEPHONES
Americana, With Their Bualnesa In
stinct, Have Naturally Taken
Kindly to the Instrument.
The telephone is an American In
vention, and we Americana have
learned to use it better than any
other people. Four-flfths of the
world's telephones are in the United
States. No other country has the ex
change system developed to give such
convenient service. In some of the
most progressive European countries
the exchange system Is so cumbersome
that It usually requires ten or fifteen
minutes to get a connection.
The telephone in this country has
expedited the transaction -of busi
ness. Without our efficient tele
phone service, the work of most of our
great Industries would be slowed np
and made more expensive. No other
country has a rural system that
compares with ours. The telephone
has definitely affected and molded our
business methods and our social and
domestic life. —Alfred Westfall, Colo
rado Agricultural College.

Lloyd George Defeats Attack of
Asquith Coalition in De
bate on Ireland.
BRITISH COAL STRIKE ON
Minora* Proposals for Settlement Laid
» Before Parliament—Recent Events
in Central Europe—Secretary
Houston Tells Bankers
Taxes Cannot Be
Reduced.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
Herbert Asqulth's grand anti-govern
ment combination in Englanti scored a
complete failure in Its first attempt to
overthrow Premier Lloyd George last
week. Parliament had assembled, and
despite what must be considered the
more pressing business of the coal mi
ners' strike, the opposition started in
on the Irish question, calling for a
public Inquiry into the alleged atroci
ties of the police and military in the
island. The motion was made in the
names of Henderson and Adamson, la
bor party leaders, and Asquith and Sir
Donald Maclean, leaders of the liber
als, and the correspondents said It was
supported by every party In the house
of commons except the followers of
Lloyd George. Notwithstanding such
a powerful coalition, after a long and
heated debate the government forced
the withdrawal of the motion by a vote
of 846 to 79.
Lord Bobert Cecil, speaking for the
motion, denounced the administration
.In Ireland as one of the most disas
trous and tactless things In the coun
try's history, and declared that for the
sake of the country's good name the
government must clear Itself of the
charge of connivance In the reprisals.
Mr. Asquith followed the same line of
argument and described in detail the
occurrences in Balbrlggan and other
towns.
Sir Hamar Greenwood, chief ascre
tary for Ireland, set up the govern
ment's defense In a flery speech. He
declared the acts of the police were
"deplorable but understandable" in
view of the doings of the Irish murder
ers. Asserting that he, and no one
else, was the head of the Irish govern
ment, Sir Hamar said: "We are break
ing Irish terror. It is being broken by
the forces of the crown which are be
ing condemned here today. I foresee
at po distant date the end of the
regime of assassination Ip Ireland now
being carried on by the Irish 'repub-'
lican army' which has members in
every village.
"We are breaking the boycott on the
police and we are breaking the refusal
to carry troops or police on the rail
roads. I would rather see every Irish
railroad shi)t down for a hundred
years than yield one jot or tittle of our
right to carry any one we please."
It Is the expressed opinion of certain
American correspondents that the As
quith following In this matter, though
heavily outvoted in the house of com
mons, represents the majority of the
English people and the most thought
ful section of the country, and that the
members of the house cannot much
longer ignore the feelings of their con
stituents. This opinion, however, can
not be accepted unreservedly In view
of the bias displayed by these corre
spondents when dealing with Irish af
fairs.
Efforts to avert the strike of British
coal miners failed, and the men all quit
work. Industrial and economic confu
sion set in at once, but "as- the week
drew to a close the situation was not
witliout Its hopeful aspects. The gov
ernment, the people generally and at
least the leaders of the miners' federa
tion fully realised the gravity of the
crisis and the threat of greater disas
ter to the country If the rail and trans
port workers should strike in sym
pathy with the miners. Prime Minis
ter Lloyd George presented the matter
to house of commons Tuesday
Biffht In a speech that won hearty ap
ot»nse and t>at showed the govern
, .
ment was leaving the door open for an
early settlement of the trouble. He
was presided by William Brace, presl-
Ment elect of the miners, who pleaded
for permanent peace and made these
, proposals for settlement:
First, grant of 2 shillings dally raise
in pay, subject to review of the whole
financial position orf the mines at the
end of the year.
Second, establish district committees
in all districts to deal with the ques
tion of increased output, comprising
both miners and owners.
Thlfd, before December 81 establish
a national wage board of the mining
industry on principles to be agreed
upon to settle all wage disputes.
Fourth, establish a Joint committee
of miners and owners-In the mines de
partment to settle the question of
shares of the product of the mines for
the miners and owners and the state.
The premier in response said: "If
the miners accepted the government's
offer of an impartial tribunal to set
tle the two shillings a shift question,
all arguments In support of their claim
would be considered, but undoubtedly
the settlement that would best meet
the permanent well being of the nation
would be a settlement which would
promote Increased output.
"This would offer to the miners the
Inducement of a reward for their own
labor and would certainly work to the
enrichment of the nation by increasing
the output of a product which Is most
essential to the proper conduct of for
eign trade."'
Extremists In the federation urged
that the men left In the mines to op
erate the pumps be withdrawn and the
diggings allowed to fill with water, but
the officers of the organization strong
ly opposed this.
The delegates of the railway men
and transport workers decided that
they would call a strike If promising
negotiations were not under way by
Saturday .
Thus far there has not been a great
deal of rioting In connection with the
strike, though there were disorderly
demonstrations in London and In
Wales, usually fostered by radicals
who are believed to be In the pay of
the Russian Bolshevists. The most
serious outbreak was In Whitehall.
London, where a parade of the unem
ployed tried to break Into Downing
street and fought the police.
Bnron Wrangel, who Is sustaining
the full force of the Russian soviet at
tacks in southern Russia, met with a
severe reverse In the region of Kak
hovka bridgehead and his troops were
thrown back Into the Taurlda behind
the Dnieper river, which they still con
trol. It was reported that Leon Trots
ky himself was directing the move
ments of the Red army there. On
other fronts Wrangel was successful
and he was Informed by many prison
ers that the Red armies would not be
able to go through another winter cam
paign, being without shoes, clothing
and stores of food. Dispatches from
Constantinople say the American Red
Cross has given to General Wrangel
about $2,000,000 worth of relief ma
terial and is sending him 500,000 tons
of supplies a week. Tho reports that
Makno, the guerrilla leader, had de
serted Wrangel turn out to be false.
On the other hand, Moscow admits
that General Budenny, former cavalry
leader of the Bolshevlkl, has deserted
the soviet cause and Is operating
against the government in the neigh
borhood of Kiev. \ •
Feeling that the League of Nations
Is not yet strong enough to Insure their
safety, and determined that the house
of Hapsburg shall not be restored to
the throne of Hungary, the Czecho-Slo
vaks, Bohemians and Jugo-Klavs have
entered into an agreement for mutual
offense and defense, which Is already
known as the "little entente." They
assert their league Is primarily peace
ful and defensive, but adgilt they have
made provisions for a military force If
that Is necessary.
For some days It appeared as If the
Jngo-Slav government had olocked the
proposed peaceful discussion with It
aly for the settlement of the Adriatic
dispute. The' Klagenfurt district of
Carinthi* bad Toted to remain, a part
of Austria and the Jugo-8lav». refus
ing to recognise the plebiscite, ordered
the Serbians i*» occupy tbe district! On
TbtuiOay they apparently recognized
"ft *iTi V fliti'Mti'iirt -f" *'
their mistake and promised to evacuate
the territory. It wns then announced
that the representatives of the two
countries would begin the negotiations
at once. According to a Rome paper,
'lf the Jugo-Slavs refuse to accept the
Italian proposals Italy will resume her
complete liberty of action. It Is de
clared Italy will ask that the ffontler
be fixed along the crest of the Julian
Alps and that Independence be granted
Flume, which will have territorial con
tiguity with Italy, besides liberty of
Zara and the possession of several
Islands along the coast.
In reply to the identical British and
French note regarding the occupation
of Vilna, the Polish government
neither refuses nor agrees to complete
ly disavow General Zellgouskl's action
In entering the city, but urges a fur
ther Inquiry and points out that Lithu
ania has hardly become a nation yet.
The French government. It Is said,
rather sympathizes with Poland In the
matter, because of her difficult alt na
tion.
The king of Greece was still alive at
this writing, but his condition waa so
serious that for the suc
cession were being made. In Athena
It was understood that, if Alexander
should die, the throne would be offered
to his brother Paul, but with such con
ditions that he would not accept It.
Then, presumably, It wttpbe offered to
a foreign prince,, and It he refuse tbe
republic will be proclaimed.
Secretary of the Treasury Houston,
In an address before the American
Bankers' association in Washington,
gave tbe country warning that there la
little chance that'taxes will be re
duced, because receipts from Income
and profits taxes are decreasing. *Jn
order to meet current bills. Including
Interest on sinking fund charges, said
the secretary, and also to retire the
floating indebtedness and a consider
able part of the Victory notes before
the close of the fiscal year 1923, tax re
ceipts must be kept up to the level of
not less than $4,000,000,000 a year. Mr.
Houston said that on the baals of pres
ent diminishing receipts the total for
the fiscal year 1021 may not materially
exceed that figure.
There Is little Immediate prospect of
tbe payment of the war debt of foreign
nations, according to Mr. Houston, but
he said he did not believe the people
would receive with favor the proposi
tion to cancej that debt, since they
would have to pay taxes to 'meet the
Interest and redeem the principal of
$10,000,000,000.
Discussing the general credit situa
tion, Mr. Houston said the farmers-are
"naturally disturbed and distressed,"
but are seeking relief "through meas
ures, some of which are not practica
ble, and others of which are suicidal."
The association's thrift committee
hps planned a three year thrift cam
paign to reach every family in the
country that has no bank account.
"The recent orgy of extravagance," de
clared the committee's report, "has in
dicated very cleriVly the need for more
[Kjpular realization of the need for sav
ing when and as the opportunity
sents Itself. The time Is at band when
thrift and saving will be regarded as
not oply possibilities, but actual neces
sities." /
Small savers are to be the chief
source In financing the normal growth
of commerce and industry, the report
said, adding that present tax policies
offer a serious check to Increased in
vestment by holders of large wealth.
The conduct of American affairs In
Haiti has been the subject of rnufh
heated discussion, and charges of "in
discriminate killing" of natives by ihe
marines, made In a report by Major
General Barnett, former commanilimr
of the corps, led Secretary .Daniels to
summon a court of inquiry. General
Barnett now says the matter Involves
only a siqall portion of the marine
corps on duty in Haiti, and that In
general the marines have done their
duty splendidly. Admiral Knapp, who
has studied conditions In Haiti for Scc
iretary Daniels, says American Inter
vention In the Island republic should
continue for at least another genera
tion. He admits that perhaps 3,000 na
tives have been killed in necessary op
erations since American occupation,
but denies that any wore killed delib
erately or wantonly.
