The department' atatement Mr. Morgenthuu had been either Inroirivtly quoted or mlalnforined In thl connection.

It Is possible that Mr. Morgenthau hud In mind correspondence over Mes opotamlan interests In which the United States objected to the exclu nive division of the field there between, llritish and French Interests under the Sun Remo agreement. The Brit ish recognized at the time of that cor-. respondence, the soundness of the ' American complaint at being excluded ' from any opportunity for American 1 Enterprise and while no official report ' has yet been received of Lord Cur- j soil's statement to yie press at Lau ifinnne recently that Great LSrltaln re corded the San Remo pact as "null and void,'' there is no dlsponltlon here to doubt that such is the British attl .

Nwanson of the Nebraska Clothing company, has made It impossible to obtain good merchandise, has led that firm to announce I hut there will m no further reductions on men's, young men's and Juvenile clothing during lieceniber, January and February. VVe make this announcement that our many friends and patrons may be guided accordingly," said Mr. Swanson, who Is president of the company, "The Nebraska Clothing ccmpuny's policy is to sell at all times the most reliable quality of clothing. We will not substitute Inferior mer chandise to make the appearance of a so-called bargain. 'Toduy there Is no surplus of de sirable standard clothing In the whole sale markets. C. 8. Stegner, one of our assistant buyers, called on many big wholesale tailors In Chicago and came to this undeniable conclusion. In September we ordered 1.600 suits from an eastern wholesnle tailor. A short time later this home offered us $6,000. or about $4 a suit, to let him out of the contract to deliver the suits. We refused and they are now n our hands. The wholesale price on these suits has advanced $2.60 to $7.60 since we obtained the contract, but that advance will not be reflected In the prices we ask for the suits." ; Portions of Woman's Skull : Introduced in Murder Case Greeley, Colo., Nov. 30.

Recent ex PIohIoiih in bituminous coal mines, re sidling in 185 deaths, are attributed, to u certain extent, in a statement by Director Rain of ha bureau of mines, to tho miners' five-month strike "There has been ft lessening of morale through the coal IniluKlry as a result of tho strlkp, which tends to ward a less careful attitude of mind." Mr. Haiti declared. "Another prob able factor Is tho change In person nel at the mines following the stilko and the uhlftlng of miners to camps where they are not familiar with tho dangers and, In places, there la that lack of discipline which is eHentlal to prevention of disaster, whether In fighting a buttle or in fighting the hazards of nature." "Investigations now under way will determine the causes of past accidents and what, If anything, might have been done to prevent them, but invest tlgatlons alone will give no assurance that similar accidents will no occur again," he asserted, Harding Behind Hospital Program for Ex -Soldiers President and Former Presi. dent Send Messages to Amer ican Legion Tlirougli Na tional Commander.

After the Armistice did America forget the high resolves and purposes with which we entered the World War? Did we leave our Allies, especially France, "in the lurch"? In con sequence of our attitude, is Germany in alliance with Russia and Turkey, confidentially prepar ing for a new attack upon France and the "Peace" of the World? The recent speeches by Mr. Clemenceau in this country confront us with these disturbing questions. "In the Armistice, in the Treaty and all that followed, there was a great share of pure American work," he re minded his hearers in New York. But "you left after the contract was finished, and you told us to execute it as wc might. And you were wrong in that. You broke all the organs of eco-. nomic solidarity. If we had known that for three years the thing that was guaranteed to us (reparations) was not coming to us, we would have gone to Berlin," he declared. The leading article in The Literary Digest this week presents the reaction of the American press to the appeals and charges made by the "Tiger of France," Georges Clemenceau. News papers of varied political persuasion are included in the many quoted in the article, and all sections of the country are represented. A reading of this summary will give one a very clear idea of exactly what the French nation would have America do and the feeling in this country as to what we should do toward putting the world upon a peace basis.
