Watched by a crew, of sharp
shooters and soldiers , at Juarez
while his prisoner was practically
a free man and their positions re
versed was only one of almost
countless episodes encountered by
Janea IU Carey, a gnard at the
state prison. In bringing back a
prisoner from Mexico City. Carey
, arrlred In Salem last night after
an, absence of a month , and two
days and upon tearing a shower
bath at the guard quarters found
newspapermen waiting to hear his
story. - :' I ;
Because he neither smoked Dor
drank, a vnirersal custom in Mex
ico. Carey got In bad at the start
and. the longer he remained in the
republic the worse things became.
Little Incidents that helped to en
liven the trip, among other things.
Included riding on a train wreck
ed by "rebels., several days ia a
; H.rico. jail with threats of being
placed in a chain gang and being
kept In prison from . two to40
years, with the latter recommend
ed, for attempting to bring a hand

trip to Mexico City, where he ar
rived ' on Angust 1 1. Delay after
delay, with a growing realisation
that affairs in Mexico City were
in a hectic condition, followed his
arrival.. Passing, the, buck proved
to be a favorite pastime off the
Mexican of ficials, but after seeing
the American consul, the embassy,
the department of : diplomatics,
secretary of state, police depart
ment and the bureau of detectives.
Carey managed to gain possession
of White at the entrance to a Ilex-.

Premiers tMacDonald an4 Herriot,
backed by the delegations ot all

crete, form a program which th
assembly of the league, of nations
will, study , in. an effort-to elabor

some: satisfactory pact of gran
tees and, mutual assistance which
will serve to make compulsory ar

Heads of all 40 national dele

The attitude of the delegates

PROCLAMATION
TQ THE PEOPLE OP SALEM
Friday, September 12,' 1924 , has been . designated asv
"Defense Test day" by the.president of the United States
and by the governor of Oregon.
In eoufonnity with that proclamation I have appointed -a

through the principal stre'ets of the city of Salem, forming
at Marion square at 6 :30 p m. and with patriotic exercises
. at the armory at 8 p. m. f
. ,' The policy of this nation is. a pacific, one. We have
never conducted a war of aggrandisement or for purposes
other than national defense, or the protection of down
trodden humanity...;. To this, fact and to the additional fact
that in a national emergenoy onr people have never failed
to put their united resources behind .the government, can;
; be attributed the . present ; position of, leadersiiip. of the
United States in world af fairs! tpdayt The. nations of the.
, world look to lis for the, help and settlement of their diffi- 1
1 culties and for leadership in disarmament, and the preven
i tion of future wars. f
To maintain our , position of independence and leader
ship adequate national defense and an evidence of the
united spirit in' behalf of our country and our government
is necessary. : ' :
Now, Therefore, believing that National, Defense .Test :
