If France moves In on Germany, it will have to face the Russian army, according to the observations of W. II. Green, who returned Friday to his home, 3034 ('ass, after a three months’ tour of Germany, Russia and Poland. The Russian government, which he found firmly established, believes that if France conquers any more German territory it will use (his as a base against the soviet republic. Accordingly, Russia is maintaining a ^yell-equipped army of volunteers, ready to engage in a new European war whenever Paris applies the torch. America Safe. Sir. Oreen, who is secretary of the tolerated farm-labor party, says lie >an see no possibility of any over turn in America, such as was seen In Russia. Conditions in Russia, lie believes, are better than they were in the days i<f the osar, and the people are satis fied. The communists are iii th“ minority, lie says, for only men and women who are educated and intelli gent are allowed membership in that group. “The railway conductor in charge of our train from lierlin to Konigs burg told us that bis month's wages would buy two pounds of coffee or eight pounds of butter.

Oklahoma City. Nov. 10.—1Testimony relating to lavish expenditures of state money for the maintenance of political favorites on good Jobs fen tured the Impeachment trial of Gov ernor J. c. Walton yesterday. One of the witnesses, superinten dent of a negro orphans' home, test! tied that the governor had dire* ted him to place two Oklahoma City I negro barbers on his staff as "held agents'' at $125 per month, although the superintendent protested he had no funds -to the credit of ths Insti tution and needed no help. "I am the governor; take care of these men.” Walton told him in over ruling his protest, the witness said. Deficiency warrants were drawn to pay their salary, although they never did any service. Other testimony during the day tended to show that scores of men had been put on state payrolls at Walton's express rommand, although there was nothing for them to do. The list of such employes Included former Oklahoma City policemen, barbers and chefs. An automobile mechanic said Walton’s private auto repair bills, aggregating hundreds of dollars, were paid In state warrants. Health Commissioner A. K. Dav enport, who was called to the stand again yesterday, admitted that a staff of physicians, nurses and guards had been maintained at the Darlington institute for drug addicts, although there were no patients.
