Some of these conscientious objec-
tors may object to' owning a govern-
ment farm If they have to work It.
And about this time of year the
average child doesn't core how many
industrial strikes are going on Just
so old Santa Claus remains on the
Job.
Somebody ought to frisk Cnrrnnrn'n
summer suit and see If he answered
any of tho American notes on the oil
situation In Mcxlco and forgot to post
them.
Now we ought to be able to see
whether the miners were striking for
longer or shorter hours by the length
of time they stay on the Job each d&y
trying to catch up with the present
coal shortage.
President Wilson has been blamed
rsttgar-shortage. Well, it's nice
to have some one man upon whom
to throw all responsibility In a case
like this. Usually, the blame for suCh
. a state of affairs Is hard to place.
Another thing we can't understand
Is why some of those New York law-
yers are so anxious to protect two
anarchists from possible punishment
In Kusala when those anarchists don't
give a hang about what happens to
the whole United States, just so it
happens.
TOE SETTLEMENT OF THE COAL
STRIKE.
Vhe announcement that the miners
bad agreed to accept the proposal
made by President Wilson for a set-
tlement of the coal strike, was not
Surprising, of course, for everybody
expected them to accept. There was
some disappointment over the failure
to settle the strike Tuesday, but that
was more than made up for in the
overwhelming vote of acceptances
Wednesday.
The coal strike Is one that was won
by the public.
Both sides to the controversy dis-
covered before the walkout had been
under way very long that they were
partly In the wrong, or at least were
regarded so by the public.
The action of the mine leaders was
held as unjustifiable In violation of
the law. The operators were accused
by Mr. McAdoo and Secretary Glass
of having made fabulous profits, if
the operators had been permitted to
Increase the price of coal and thus
pass the Increase In wages to the
mines on to the public, there would
never have been any strike, though
the fuel administrator blocked that
But as the strike went on and suf-
fering on the part of people every-
where became sharper and sharper or
drew nearer, the public became Indig-
nant and Its voice was heard. It was
an answer to that voice that the mine
workers' leaders agreed to call off the
strike at once.
The public, however, that won the
strike, will not pose as a triumphant
victor, but will be glad enough to get
the coal. In the mean time. It will
throw Its Influence townrd bringing
about a Just settlement of the remain-
ing Issues as proposed by President
Wilson.
A REAL HERO.
Being a great war hero Is some-
thing few ordinary men can stand,
but receiving five decorations for gal-
lantry during the war—including the
prized Victoria cross of the British
empire—did not turn the head of
Frank Percy of New York nor lead
him to believe that the world wculd
look upon his brave form for the rest
of his days and shower him with ad-
miration and a living,
Percy (Jurlng the war was a bril-
liant airman. He Is now a window-
washer In the big city. He has a
notion that no matter what he did tor
bis country he still has a right to
«arn a living, and he holds that so
long as the work Is honorable h« is
•one too good to do it.
The world may look upon such a
luck: but nothing like this couts the
character of our wli-dow-wnsher.
And we need not fear that he will
always be manning mops and long-
handled rubber dryers.
Surely a man who can fight like he
fought csn find something in civil life
that he can do as well. Hy accepting
his present Job at >75 a month he Is
proving that he In no more afraid of
work than he was of the bosche. and
when he finds his plnco In civilian
life he will miike a record Just us bli -
llant us the one for which he was dec-
orated in the war.
THE HOIiSHEVIKI 1\ MEXICO.
Tho Associated Prow dispatch,
printed til Wednesday's Issue of the
Telegram, credited a Mexico City
newspaper with saying that the m.vlet
government is soon to bo established
In the etate of Yucatan.
We do not know whether the Mex-
ican editor le well Informed, but we
do know that tf the bolshevik! are
not nt work in Mexico, they are over-
looking u good op, irtunlly to spread
discontent where it will flourish.
Communism thrives only where there
Is disorder or discontent. Yucatan
has been In a turbulent stnte of af-
fairs for the last several years. It is
now a hotbed of radicallsts and agi-
tators.
The attitude which President Car-
ranza takes regarding to charges
msde by Senator Fall, will probably
determine his course in dealing with
the Yucatan situation if that situa-
tion Is as bad as the Mexican news-
i
paper pictures IL
It will be Interesting to watch de-
velopments In his efforts to curb this
most radical sort of radicalism.
THE NAVAL PROGRAM.
Tho navy general board has sub-
mitted recommendations calling for a
building program to moke the United
States navy second to none by 1915.
In submitting this report, the board
■aid that the maintenance of such a
navy by the United States would be
a "great preventative of war, for no
nation would likely provoke hostili-
ties when her own commerce would
thereby be Imperiled."
The outatandlng feature of these
recommendations is that talk of tho
League of Nations has not swerved
the board from its pre-war building
policy. It regards heavy armaments j
just as essential now as It did before
we fought and helped to win the war
with Germany.
Nothing la said ss to how Secretary
Daniels views the recommendations.
Neither Is the attitude of President
Wilson mentioned. The United States
has no League of Nations as yet. and
until that society Is perfected. It Is to
be expected that the administration
will follow a heavy armament pro-
gram. Ever since the league Idea
has been In the foreground, it has
been pointed out that It Is a choice
for the various nations between bur-
densome armies and navies and a
great concert of free nations to pre-
serve the peace of the world.
The logte of this argument Is at
once obvious. Likewise, the futility
of a great building race among the
leading powers Is at once seen. The
Inevitable result of heavy armament
programs on the part of all nations
will be war. It has always been so In
the past, and there Is no ground to
say that It will be different In the
future.
A League of Nations may not pre-
vent war. but It proposes to do one
thing, and that Is to reduce arma-
ments. If It could do that and noth-
ing more, that would be a long step i
In the direction of permanent peace. |
But league or no league. It looks I
like the thinking statesmen of tho j
world could get together on some plan J
for putting an end to this mad contest
of seeing which country can build up
and maintain the most formidable
fighting units. If they do not do
something like that, wo might as well
reconcile ourselves to the fact that
we are heading straight for the great
Armageddon, which has be^n go of-
ten predicted.
This armament problem is one that
should be solved by the sane and con-
servative statesmen of the world—
anil solved soon. No country is now
able to support a lavish and vain-
glorious military establishment.
KDlTom.Ui OF THE DAY
TIhj Spirit of tho Times.
The most significant holiday In the
Christian calendar approaches, nnd
with It a tremendous Increase in bus-
iness. Some may argue that Raster
has a greater significance to the re-
ligiously inclined than Christmas, but
had there been no Chrlsamas—as the
world uci epts the meaning of the Jay
—there would have been no Easter
As this day approaches tho season
Is marked by a disposition to buy
more merchandise than ever before
and to pay more for it. We have a
custom of giving and receiving pres-
ents nt Christmas time. Doubtless
the adults could dispense with it or
a part of It, a id leave no heartaches
behind, but with children there Is
something about Christmas that
means n Rift, or ready tears and the
failure to understand. There Is no
likelihood of the giving custom be-
ing omitted to any extent this year.
And .vet, from some localities, word
Is coming that people are suffering
from lack of fuel because none is to
be had. Vet even such hardship ua
has been reported Is as nothing com-
pared to the suffering among the peo-
ple of Europe. On Wednesday a dis-
patch from Washington quoted Henry
Morgentliau as saying that death
from cold and starvation waits 5.-
000 000 to 10,000.000 people In Eu-
rope and the near east this winter.
Others have echoed his warning.
Surely the spirit of the times should
grip the hearts of the American peo-
ple. Out of our plenty we should be
sending an abundance abroad to save
human life rather than be contending
here at home for more luxuries than
we have.—The Indianapolis News.
CKNTKAL TKXAS I'RHKS
OPPORTUNITY.
The 8nn Angelo contingent of tho
American legion, known as the James
J. C.oodfellow Jr. Post, has leased
club rooms and will stage a home
•alent show to raise funds to equip
them, a news item from San Angelo
printed yesterday states. At a recent
meeting resolutions were adopted
condemning the I. W W.'s and other
u n - American organizations and
pledging support to the national body
In its fight on all radical elements.
Starting on this basis and following
sound Judgment In dealing with all
questions that arise, there Is no limit
to the Influence the post can yield
In the Industrial and social affairs
of that community.
With politics eliminated from the
organization and radical methods
discarded the American Legion should
become a potent factor both in com-
munity and national life.
Those who know best the cost
should appreciate most the value of
American principles and Ideals.
And there is no reason why those
who helped to work out the country's
salvation on the battlefield should not
play an Important role In the work-
ing out of the even more difficult
problems following the war.
While different weapons must be
employed the opportunity for service
Is greater now than then.
GOUGING.
We have often heard the expres-
sion about getting after somebody
with a sharp stick, and the expres-
sion implies a very effective sort of
gouging. But down Ban Marcos way
a wood dealer stands charged with
gouging In a very different way,
though neatly as painful In these H.
C. of L. times. He is accused of sell-
ing stove wood at $54 a cord.
If the dealer In question Is guilty
he ought to be convicted of something
worse than getting after his custom-
ers with a sharp stick. Few of us
would mind being chased with a cord
of wood and we all know about
where we'd stop running if a race
should begin, but when a dealer slips
up on somebody and exacts that much
money for stove wood because peo-
ple cannot eat their food raw It seems
about tlms to call a hslt or call the
officers. The latter nre of more ser-
vice In a case like this.
A GOOD SHOWING.
Freight and passenger earnings for
one railroad alone at Balllnger last
month show an Increase of more than
|36,000 over the same month last
year. A news item from Balllnger
says that "this Is a record-breaker
for railroad business at this place,
both the freight and passenger hauls
being the heaviest In the history of
the county."
Italhvay and postal receipts, and
bank statements, are the three most
reliable barometers by which to get
a line on business conditions In any
locality. The exceptionally good show-
ing In railway earnings last month
at Ballinger is a mighty fine boost
for that section, nnd the figures are
not misleading. They do not tend to
represent a greater prosperity than
that which really exists. Bank de-
posits are larger than they have ever
been before there, and it is quite
probable that the postal receipts will
show an increase despite the extra
revenue derived from the three-cent
stamp era of last year.
And It must be remembered that
the game Isn't over by a long shot In
(tunnels county. Farmers there have
something like IS.000,010 worth of
cotton yet in the fields and they have
been so busy this year that they
haven't time to go visiting. After this
cotton Is gathered and everybody has
nn opportunity to go somewhere, we
may look for a still better showing
in railway earnings.

Christmas Tree Cutting.
A particularly appropriate oppor-
tunity to display the Christmas sp rit,
according to officials of the forest
service of the department of agri-
culture, is the rrmner In which
Christmas trees are cut from the
woods and forests. Many people go
by motor and 'rvdulge In the pleasure
of cutting their own trees. When
trees are cut properly there Is no
harm done, but the tendency of many
to slash 'nto growth without regard to
conservation Is making trees scarce.
A tree selected for cutting should be
one of a group rather than one more
or less Isolated.

So many troubles chase us, so many
problems face us, we re always In a
stew; so many woes distressing, so
many cares are pressing, we don't
know what to do. We sigh for days
departed, when we were happy heart-
ed, and full of wholesome glee; when
griefs were not Invented, and every
man, contented, sat 'neath his vine
and tree. But in those bygone sea-
sons, ere Huns, with tricks aDd trea-
sons, kicked up a beastly row, we all
were as unhappy, as sassy and as
scrappy, as sore as we are now The
troubles then parading were of anoth-
er shading, they bore another brand,
but they were Just as galling, they
kept the people brawling throughout
a wearied land. Our words were Just
as bitter, we didn't sing and twitter
more than we do today; we pawed
around and panted, and walked the
floor and ranted, and groaned our
hearts away. Despite the thorns that
rear us, despite the Jolts that jar us.

ASK U. S. TO PROTECT
ARMENIANS FROM TURKS
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Internatlonsl committee of the Bed
Geneva, Switzerland, Dec. 11.—The
Crow} has sent to President Wilson
and to the people of the United 8tates
an appeal to rescue Armenia from ex-
tinction at tha hands of the Turks.
The plea Is signed by Edouird Na-
vllle, president of the committee, who
has asked that It be given widespread
distribution throughout the United
States. Invoking the aid of America,
the International committee disavows
any political interest and asserts that
It Is moved only by humanity and
pity. In part the mess ge says;
"During the war It seemed to the
Armentsns that the day of deliverance
was dawning. How different Is the
situation row! Armenia seems to be
forgotten; the Turkish army Is recon-
Mituted; the greatest part of the
country which had been liberated Is
now occupied again; the Armenians
cannot return to their homes from
which they had been driven by vio-
lence; thous nda of them are still fu-
gitives and have found a temporary
asylum where they live a life of mis-
ery under the conitant threat of re-
newed massacres.
"Unless the allied powers step in
and resolutely take up the cause of
the Armenians, their future Is not a
mere return under Turkish domina-
tion; It is the completion of the work
of destruction which has already been
carried on with such appalling results
Armenia will no more exist; it will be
wiped away from the concert of
Christian nations
"In this dreadful conjuncture, the
Armenians stretch toward America
their bleeding hands. They know that
America alone can save them and they
entreat us to join our voice to their
ardent cry for help.
"We therefore appeal to the feel-
ings of generosity «nd Justice of the
American nation. Is the day In which
other peoples Joyfully hoist the flag
of liberty to be. on the contrary, the
day In which Armenia Is laid In her
erave and her tomb sealed forever?
We do not believe that America can
•emaln Indifferent to such a revolt-
ing Injustice or that the cry of de-
spair of the Armenians will not be re-
echoed In many American hearts and
homes.
"Once more let America come for-
ward for the oause of Justice and hu-
manity and rescue a dying nation from
a certain extinction. This will be one
of the choicest fruits of America's vic-
tory.

Chicago, III., Deo. II. — Shooting
game with a camera) Ted Powel. of
San Francisco, ex-large game hunter
and all-around sportsman, has side-
tracked his high power rifle, substi-
tuting the camera In eapturlng wild
animals. His extended experience
and knowledge ef the habits and
haunts of large game are of Inesti-
mable assistance to him In leeaiing
his photographic equipment, In tak-
ing "cTtise ups" of quarry In their na-
tive lairs. You have aH been prenent
st banquets when a flashlight has
been touched off. You are expect-
ing the explosion, yet a thrill, an ex-
pression of pain and distress, widen-
ing of the eyes and distorted fea-
tures, depicti your fright In the clo-
ture Imagine the fright Injected
Into the system of a griezly bear or
cougar, when he steps upon a leaf
covered platform or some othor me-
chanical device secreted on his nin-
way, which mechanically touches off
the flashlight, releasee the ahutte- ot
the camera and imprints his plo'ure
upon the sensitive film. The 'kodnlt
hunter" has then added another Dlc-
tuie to his collection of trophies,
which he displays with the eame prtde
that a real hunter whose head tro-~
phles decorate his walls, recounts his
exciting experiences in their oaptjre.
More time, patience, courage and skill
may be requisite for camera hunting,
yet the writer Insists there is a
marked absence of the hunting thrills
and sensations experienced when
afield, and the elusive objective Is
suddenly apparent In the spot light.
Another real ■porlsmuu'a thrilling ex-
perience is the capture of wild ani-
mals to/ exhibition purposes or re-
stocking of game depleted eectlons,—
the matching of man's Intelligence vs.
animal caution and sagacity. A half
century ago, elk. moose and doer were
found In great numbers on tne for-
est covered slopes of Pike's Peak and
adjacent territory. Tbe advont of
miners, settlers and "sour-doughs,"
Introduced a food demand nnd elk
were exterminated. The Colorado
club of Colorado Springs, doclded to
restock, employing Ted Powell and
Harry Anderson to recapture for
them one half hundred waplta or elk.
This In the winter of 1916-1917 Har-
ry Anderson, gu'.de, trapper and hunt-
er. Is employed by the U. 8. kov-
ernment as an eliminator of preda-
tory animals In Yellowstone Park.
With a pack of tralned-to-the-inl'.ute
dogs, a "varmint's" doom la sealed
when his trail is once located
Anderson is frequently employed
to capture gristly and black t'^ar,
moose, elk and cougar for transfer to
the Zoological Gardens and was a val-
uable running mate for Powell. Tlie
animals In Yellowstone Park, by as-
sociation and the ooihpanionehlr of
men, are assured of the non-lnJ«irlnf_
or killing inclinations, hence are semi',
domesticated. A confidence Is es*ab»

slabs and brush was constructed with
a chute entrance, guarded by a fall-
ing or trap gate, located near the
point where elk were In the habl. ot
establishing their "yards"—* *1ac*
kept open by continuous tramping of
snow—In a valley *t the foot of the
mountains. The thermometer was
flirting with 16 degrees below *er®
and elk were forced down from the
foot hills by the deep snows and In-
ability to secure food. A light 'rail
of hay was scattered. lesdlng Into the
capacious corral, where a slack ot
nalted hay had been placed as a lure
The half-starved animals located the
feed trail which led them Into the
stockade. When the hay stack was
found, an assembly call was sounded
and the herd were soon feeding on
the stacked banquet provided. By a
rope attachment the trap gate was
dropped and the capture consummat-
ed. The bulls then fought, while the
does fed In peace. It became a battle
royal with the bucks—a survival of
the fittest. The captured herd was
culled, ten bulls and forty females
remained. Elk are timid and easily
Injured, yet they soon become accus-
tomed to the presence of man . nd

transfer of this herd was made with
the Injury of but one animal. From
the corral of original capture after
a period of two weeks feeding and
man-handling, the elk were loaded
Into specially provided wagons and

a number of express cars lay upon
the side track, Into which they were
loaded and rushed to Colorado
