PROPAGANDA HELD EVIL
3Ir. Harding Asks for Co-operation
of Newspapers In Movement to
Settle Vital Problems.
WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 11. A
hope that the public press throughout
the world will do its part to promote
international understanding, and par
ticularly to make easier the tasks of
the armament conference, was ex
pressed by President Harding; in a
message to the press congress of the
world, 'which began its sessions today
at Honolulu.
In solving the problem of the Pa
cific, the president wrote, the press
was in a position to wield a great
and beneficial influence. He declared
it "hard to Imagine Justifications" for
conflict among the peoples on oppo
site shores of the Pacific, and added:
''The Pacific ought to be the seat
of a generous, free, open-minaea
competition between the best ideals
of eastern and western life, between
the aspirations and endeavors of the
oldest and newest forms of human
society."
Danger Lnrks In Propaganda.
The message, sent in the form of
letter to Wallace R. Farrlngton, gov
ernor of Hawaii and publisher of the
Honolulu Star-Bulletin, was dated
Seotember 8. and was, in part, as
follows:
"I hope the fact that I have chanced
to be most of my life a newspaper man
will not have distorted my judgment
so far as to cause me to overrate the
Importance of Journalism in the pres
ent day world. Not only have the
world war and the events transpiring
since the armistice Impressed us all
anew with the use and value of the
public press, but they have demon
strated that possible danger which
resides in a press too freely employed
for mere propaganda.
War-Time Purpose Served.
"In the overwhelming emergency of
the war, propaganda became a well
nigh universal habit; I might almost
say a code among Journalists. It was,
of course, Intended to be the propa
ganda of patriotism, of devout nation
alism, of well-intentioned aspiration
tor the salvation of the best in human
society; but It was not always entirely
fall, Judic'al or discreet. On the
whole, it served a splendid purpose in
the circumstances of war time; but
we newspaper men couiu iuuui. -
selves in no more grievous error than
to assume that propaganda is tne first
or even a leading aim ui f''w
conducted press.
"I cannot but feel that the primary
purpose of the press, as a social in
stitution, is - the opening of men's
minda, rather than the closing 01
. them.
Education Potent Force.
"Propaganda alms primarily at
shutting up the mind against other
conclusions than those which the
propagandists design to implant. Kd-
ucation, on the contrary, aims to open
the mind, to prepare it, to make It
receptive and to urge it to formulate
its own conclusions.
"In this work of education, no sin
gle force or influence of which we
row know can be expected to exert
so great a potency as the press. You
are meeting in a day when the world
is looking forward to the gathering
of the nations to consider limitation
of armament and the maintenance of
world peace. If your deliberations
shall Inspire a larger, a better, a
.more humane view ot tne elements
which enter into the problem of peace
ind at least a measurable disarma
ment; if you can encourage the Ideal
of a world permanently at peace; then
you will have given a vast impetus
to tfio efforts of statesmen who are
presently to consider these problems
in Washington.
Pacific Problems Dlncussed.
We have . heard much in recent
years about the problem of the Pa
cific, whatever that may be. I take
it to be merely a phase of the uni
versal problem of the race of men
and nations wherever they are. It
is hard to imagine Justifications in
this day and age, especially In view
of the world's late unhappy expe
riences, for armed conflict among
civilised peoples anywhere, and espe
cially among peoples so widely sepa
rated as those on opposite borders
of the Pacific. They represent dif
ferent races, social organizations,
political systems and modes ot
thought. Between them and their
widely varying systems there may
well be an amicable competition to
determine which community possesses
the better aad more effective ideas
or human advancement.

ST. PAUL. Minn., Oct. 11. Machin
ery of a national investigation, de
signed to cheapen the marketing of
dairy products to give dairy farmers
better prices for their goods and to
provide city consumers with better
products at reasonable cost, was set
in motion here today.
farmers representing producers'
organizations in the principal dairy
ing sections of the country met in the
offices of the Minnesota Farm Bu
reau federation as members of the
committee of eleven and outlined a
thorough Investigation into the co
operative marketing of butter, cheese
and milk. The work of the commit
tee was divided into four phases and
sub-committees were appointed to
Investigate:
1. Marketing of whole milk.
2- Co-operative creameries and
cheese factories.
.3. The relation of co-operative laws
to the distribution of dairy products.
4. Marketing of dairy by-products,
such as milk powder.
The national inquiry will be con
ducted under the leadership of Richard-
Patte of Boston, Mass., who was
elected chairman of the committee of
eleven. Fred H. Harvey, president of
the California Milk Producers' asso
ciation, was elected viae-chalrman.
The committee was appointed by
James R. Howard, president of the
American Farm Bureau federation, to
work out co-operative plans for the
distribution of dairy products for the
guidance of farmers who have not
yet succeeded in launching co-operative
distributing systems or estab
lishing co-operative creameries.

SPOKANE, Wash., Oct. 11. Miss
Ruth Jennings, assistant cashier of
the State Bank of Spangle, Wash.,
robbed last Tuesday of more than
6000, today declared two men held
at Pomeroy, Wash., are not the rob
bers who shot and chloroformed her
before robbing the bank. The men,
who gave their names as Will'am
and Andy Kuhnan of .Portland, are

supposed movements of the robbers.

LIBERTY BONDS GO DOWN"
Decline Is Attributed to Realizing
by Speculators.
NEW YORK, Oct. 11. Liberty
bonds, which recently touched the
highest prices of the year, were heav
ily sold today and closed at a decline
of from ES to 158 points for the sec
ond 4a and the various 4 '4 per cent
issues. Sales approximated $13,600,000.
The decllno was largely attributed
to realizing of profits by speculative
interests who had bought at consid
erably lower levels.
Early In the season the first 44s
advanced 44 points to 95.04, but after
ward declined abruptly to 93.04 at the
close.
LONDON, Oct. 11. (By the Associ
ated Press.) General Pershing, chief
of staff of the American army, will
come to London before October 20 to
lay the medal of honor voted by the
United States congress on the tomb of
the unknown British soldier in West
minster abbey, the British foreign of
fice announced this evening.
The foreign office also issued a
statement, explaining the British
viewpoint of the incidents which
caused the misunderstanding regard
ing the visit of General Pershing, in
which it is denied that his majesty's
government delayed acceptance of the
American medal. The statement
points out that Lord Curxon, the for
eign minister, answered the American
government's notification regarding
the bestowal of the medal and ex
pressed profound appreciation of the
action of the American congress. It
expresses regret that Central Persh
ing was inconvenienced in Paris.
Arrangements for the bestowal of
the medal on the unknown soldier are
proceeding, the statement says.
The British government last night
telegraphed, to Paris expressing its
pleasure at the proposed v'slt of Gen
eral Pershing and the general was as
sured the warmest welcome.
The cabinet ministers were absent
from London over the week end, but
on returning dealt promptly wth the
question.
The Associated Press was Informed
today that General Pershing's name
never was mentioned in the exchanges
of notes between the American em
bassy in London and the British for
eign office relative to the bestowal
of the medal. Responsibility for
what officials in each place char
acterized as "a most unfortunate
bungle" was not laid solely at the
door of British officialdom.
It was understood that the first
note from the American embassy, de
livered late in August, failed to in
dicate that there was any necessity
for expediting the arrangement.
A British foreign office official
today assured a member of the
American embassy, whs called rela
tive to another master, that the in
cident was deeply deplored." The

wounded today in a beauty shop
where she was employed. H. H. Slick,
35. a shoe salesman, after shooting
Miss Masten, shot and killed himself.
Miss Masten- died later.
Slick had driven to the place with
his wife. He left her waiting in an
automobile in which they had come,
saying he had business in the build
ing. v
Notes left by Slick refer to Miss
Masten as Slick's wife. Mrs. , Slick,
Hie widow, said she knew of her hus
band's infatuation for the girl and
said he also had told her he had gone
through a marriage ceremony with
Miss Masten, although he was mar
ried at the time. Mrs. Slick said her
husband feared prosecution on a big
amy charge and that, to help him oi t
of his difficulties, she had agreed to
get a divorce that be might marry
Miss Masten.
Friends of Miss Masten and her
father, Will :m H. Masten, denied,

Desire to Play in Spite of Injured
Arm Meets "Not a Chance"
Edict From Wife.
I NEW YORK. Oct. 11 Babe Ruth
reconciled himself tonight to watch
ing the rest of the world series from
a seat in the grandstand.
Manager Huggins still clings to a
forlorn hope that the Babe's arm will
heal sufficiently to allow him to make
another appearance in uniform before
the series ends. But Mrs. Ruth and
his personal physician have said "not
a chance," so Ruth picked out his
seat in a box behind third base today
and prepared to view the rest of the
series as a spectator.
He strolled across the diamond be
fore the game on his way to th
Yank dugout. He walked with a pro
nounced limp and his empty left
sl-eve was thrown Jauntily over hi
shoulder. Despite these indication
few in the grandstand outside of th
press box recognized the home-run
king, and he gained the players'
bench without causing any excite
ment.
Just before the game Umpire Mori
arty ordered Ruth to leave the play
ers' bench. He rose hastily and
limped across the diamond to his box
seat, etlll secure from recognition and
applause in the anonimlty of a brown
civilian suit and a cap.
Dr. George King, his physician, said
tonight that while the swelling in the
Bambino's arm had subsided some
what, the abscess was still draining
ai-.d the glands under his arm were
still very swollen.

NEW YORK. Oct. (Special.)
Have you ever seen a Kansas cyclone
in mid-season form with a bop to its
fast one?
The stage setting is usually a
cloudless heaven where a harrowing
moment of windless silence is fol
lowed by a grinding, crashing roar
which indicates the passage of houses
and barns from one county to another
with the air full of trees and people
leaving the scene at lofty altitudes,
much after the manner of wind
blown leaves.
Just as the ambitious Tanks were
in the act of reaching for their fourth
victory one of those funnel-shaped
cyclones from Circleville, Kan., came
bellowing out of an azure autumn
sky and blew the red tin roof from
above their aching heads, leaving
them to the mercy of the pitiless ele
ments that raged without. The cy
clone in question goes under the
pitching name of Jess Barnes, who
for the second time in the series came
to Fred Toney's urgent relief and
tied the Yanks up in a sack at the
delirious moment- when they were
beginning to look like money in the
bank, with the rent, the cook and the
butcher squared.
Clubs Again Stand Level.
So It happens, with the Giants win

that have haunted the series up to

Yankees have proved at least that

Babe Ruth Aliased.
You can put 'em on and get 'em

two or three Innings today the as
sembled flock may have forgotten
Ruth in the dizzy whirl of home runs
that bubbled or dribbled over one
fence or another in record procession
with E. Meusel, Snyder and Fewster
working at the guns. But after the
lull had arrived the crowd missed
the familiar limp and the bandaged
arm and the vast shadow that fell
athwart home plate or the left-field
spaces.
iney missed tne pachyderm on
greyhound legs, tha cove who swings

How would the Prussians have felt
while' storming Liege or Namur to
find when "action front" was ordered

ditch with its breechblock blown
apart? If we hadn t been fed up on
the Ruthian thrill it would have all
been different but the crowd through
the closing Innings realized at last,
