Roosevelt, governor-elect of Xcw York, should be the presidential candidate of the Democratic party in 1032, will he run on n wet platform ? ' Hero is a nice cross-word puzzle for those inveterate politi cal dopesters who like to tackle political problems, between campaiffns as well as during them.

Jit fact, there js frond reason to believe that prohibition will he no more of an issue in the presidential election of 10:12 than it was in the election of 1024, which means it will be no ir-siK' at all. liotli major political parties will be 'nominally at least dry.

AYOI'Nti American lieutenant, nctin-; with no authority whatever, brought to an end the civil war in Monteneiiro which followed the World War anil accepted the surrender of the two opposing armies "in the name of the l.'nited Stales Food Administration!'' This funniest chapter of post-war history, heretofore un published, has just been revealed by no less an authority than Herbert Hoover. The story, recounted by Urnce Harfon, the writer, in the cur rent issue of Cosmopolitan, was 'brought to light, Burton re lates, when he commented casually on nn ivory-handlcl dagger lying on a table in Hoover's Washington home. Mr. Ilnover, telling how he came into possession of the dag ger, related the story of tho unique Montenegrin surrender which Harton retells in the Cosmopolitan as follows: Atoiitenegfo, which had fought the Allies in the World War, quickly split into two armed camps after the peace of Ver sailles to settle an ancient dispute which existed between Hi,' clans of the little mountain kingdom. Within a few days the men who had fought, side by side were engaged in a bitter civil strife. ' , The only neutral was a young American lieutenant who rep resented the I'nited Stales Food Administration., He wired to Ifiiover in Brussels that the country was starving, and Hoover dispatched n shipload of food. The difficulty was to arrange with the warring Montenegrins to unload it. The lieutenant called u conference of the opposing generals, and after a long discussion it was agreed that Army A should unload during the day; then there would follow a one-hour truce during which Army It would come on j,s the night shift. The young officer took Occasion at the conference to point out the folly of the war, ' "You ought to bo plowing and getting in your crops," he told them. "This food will spoil he exhausted and if you don't raise enough to, carry you through next winter, then God help you j the United States won't," They agreed with him but said there was no hope. "Why" ; ' . "Because a war can only end when one side has been' de feated. A compromise would be contrary to all precedent in Montenegrin history." But after another parley when tho ship was unloaded, the chief of Army A advanced a brilliant suggestion. "We could both surrender lo tho United States. That would end the war and save our honor," he offered. The other gen eral agreed, and the lieutenant agreed to accept the surrenders with both nrnmvj driiw'n up in the main street at 4 o'clock the next afternoon. . ' t It seemed a hnppy solution. But the ambitious subaltern was awakened iu the night by. a horrible thought. "I am only a lieutenant, he considered. ''What right have 1 to accept the surrender of two armies in. the name of the United States? Sup pose I'ershing should hear- libniiit. it; how do I know 1 shouldn't be shot?'" V , But before the time for surrender n happy thought had come to him. He would aocept the surrenders and end the war but not in the name of the I'nited States! At -t o'clock the rival forces were drawn up, scowling at each other. The commanders advanced, ciTch bearing an ivory handled dagger and sword. Between the .two ranks rode the lieutenant to accept the arms, then, in n voice that echoed in the nearby mountains, ho cried: "I accept the surrender of these armies in tho name of the United States Food Administration!" The first that Hoover learned of how the pence was accom plished was when the lieutenant showed up in Brussels with the ivory-handled daggers and Die story. The then food admin ittrator gave tho young officer one set of the arms, keeping the other among his most prin'd mementos.' huve bcn recovered, cither l'ron: tl.9 ground or trom souvenir hunt ers who visited tho nc-eno ct the wreck and picked up fliuniouds hi fote a guard could he sliitloniul about the plane.
