LONDON, Dec. 23. (AP) The London newspapers
have been chary of commenting editorially on the Ameri
can resentment against the high British rubber prices
but today some writers break their silence. Their main
arguments arc that prices are as much against British
consumers as Americans, that it is difficult to under
stand how America, the home of protection, can com
plain against a protective scheme, and that the United
States acted identically regarding cotton and wheat.

Cut Down On
Reckless And Unjustifiable Expenditures Must
Be Curbed; Two Who Spent $1000 To
Make Two Arrests Are Censured
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23. (AP) Piohibtion agents1
were warned today that "reckless, unjustifiable expen-'
fliture," during their work in the future would cause j
their dismit'sal from the enforcement service. In a let-j
ter to prohibtion administrators, prompted by the recent;
Mayflower hotel case in which two agents expended
nearly $1,000, Assistant Secretary Andrews of the treas

be used intelligently and economically and never used !
without complete justification."

when final arrangements were made
for sending cut the parcels.
Every child on the county list,
166 in all. has been taken care
of and in addition 4 7 other child

erson of the Anderson Transfer com

Herald and said he would donate
two trucks, with drivers, for as long
as. was necessary until every pack

With the many gifts of money
atld tho offers of assistance thut

doubtful. If any of them cntnlled
as much real sacrifice as that of
Marguerite and Gertrude Iloyle, very
youthful daughters of Mr. and Mrs.

end of tho line.
Someone who could funotion for

"We want to give something to
the children who have no dolls," tho
voice continued.
Questioning revealed the identity
of thp Owner of the voice and sr.e
was assured her gift would be gladly
accepted. When it arrived, it was
found that the two sisters had dug
deep ind-oed. For each had given
her best and biggest doll, largest
teddy bear and in addition a hoa
ot books and games.

Paris Nearly Isolated In
Tempest Sweeping Country
PARIS, Dec. 23. (AP) The tempest continues to.
howl in France, leaving death and destruction in its
trail. Nine passengers were drowned in the Seine last
night about Rouen when a ferry boat capsized. All
the victims were working men. The ferryman was the
only person saved.
Paris now is almost completely cut off by telegraph
from the outside world. One. line only is working with
Switzerland, Belgium and England. There is no com
munication with Germany and Italy.
As all wires except one with Havre and Brest down,
cable dispatches between the United States and Paris
are being badly delayed. Owing to prostration of wires
everywhere it will be sometime before the full extent
of the havoc wrought throughout the country is known.
In Paris more than a score of persons have been more
or less seriously hurt by flying debris. The railroad to
Dieppe was put out of commission when telegraph
