CITY DOCTOR GETS FRENCH CITATION Health Department Attache Reticent About Honor. Honor for deeds of valor on the battlefields of France has come to Dr. Edward J. Dubois, bacteriologist in the laboratory of .the city health department, and a captain in the medical department of the Rainbow division, two years after they were accomplished. By aeident two newspapermen today stumbled on to the-fact that Dr. Dubois more than a week ago .received a copy of a French army citation praising him for “spending himself night and day without counting and so giving a magnificent example of bravery and abnegation," under fire in the defense against the German drive in Champagne during July. 1918. It took argument to persuade the captain, who is a native of France and whose son was killed at Verdun, to tell the details of his citation, which, translated, reads as follows: "To Capt. Edouard J. Dubois, medical department, headquarters. Forty-second division. "An officer of great courage and absolute devotion. "Enlisted when 50 years old. "At the time of the German offensive In Champagne in July, 1918, he gave his care in the line and in the village of Vadenay. which was under violent bombardment during the 15th, 16th and 17th of July, 1918. to the American wounded and to the French wounded of the 13th 170th and 37th French divisions. "By his perfect knowledge of French and English he maintained a Tery good liaison between the French and American medical services, spending himself night and day without counting and so giving a magnificent example of bravery and abnegation." Capt. Dubois took the first opportunity to enlist which was offered during the formation cf the Rainbow division, moved to take a man’s share in the great fight by his son’s death from shell fire at Verdun Sept. 9. 1917. The son, Rene, was a sergeant in the Second regiment of French infantry, leaving a French university during the first month of the war to enlist. Dr. Dubois was recommended for the Cmix de Guerre bnt did not receive it because of the American army prohibition against further decoration of American soldiers by fore governments. Had he received ti s decoration his family would hold two, Reno having received it with two stars and a palm for gallantry on various occasions.

COX AS A WITNESS (Continued From Page One.) and those who are partaking in the benefit of office are asked to assist. “You are cordially requested to arrange this matter by calling at the Sherman hotel, Room 213, during the next three days.” E. M. Waterbury, who signed a letter, told several of the girls who called at the hotel in response to the letter he represented Clarence Mee of Centerville, 8. D. Mee, Miss Coyne said, was described as chairman of the democratic budget committee. Waterbury asked the workers to contribute S4O each. Miss Coyne said. Some of the girls didn't have the money, she testified, and gave checks, some dated as far ahead as Nov. 1, 1920. J. Walter Mee is an internal revenue collector in Aberdeen. Miss Coyne said. She said efforts were made to keep Waterbury's work in Aberdeen secret, but that it was stated he was there on democratic business. The girls were told that “Jobs depend on the political status of the country,’ Miss Coyne said. Miss Jessie Barchard, Minneapolis, a civil service employe in the Aberdeen internal revenue office, said she got one of the letters last week. Miss Barchard said Waterbury asked when she called at the hotel if she wanted to contribute. “He mentioned S4O as the sum each girl ought to give,” Miss Barchard said. She contributed by giving him checks for S2O each, dated Sept. 1, and Oct. 1. Miss Barchard said she is a'democrat. A resumption of the hearings on Sept. 22, in Washington or New Yorfc. will see a concentration of the committee's attention on democratic activities' it was indicated. though a number of "leads" regarding republican fund gathering remain to be investigated. Although both republican and democratic members have repeatedly stated the inquiry is not primarily directed to Gov. Cox’s charges that the republicans planned to raise a corruption fund of $15,000,000, it has centered about that charge and Cox's other charges during the past two weeks. Committee members today declined to comment on Gov. Cox's statement In Spokane yesterday that somebody might have to be sent to the penitentiary in connection with republican money activities. A statement by Senator Edge of New Jersey, a republican member of the committee. given out last night before left Chicago, declaring that Cox's charges had uot been proved and ought to be withdrawn by 'the governor publicly, drew the fire of Senator Reed, who said it was “not decent" for a member of the committee to announce conclusions regarding an Investigation, that has just got under way." ,

The municipal research form provides space at the top of each sheet for the notation of the department, branch, responsible official and other general data to Identify the figures in the columns below. There are columns fsr the entry of the items for which the money is needed, the amount of money appropriated for 1920. the amount actually spent up to July, 1920, the amount requested for 1921 and the amount of decrease or increase over 1920. In comparatively few department estimates has this form been followed to the letter. NOT EASY TO GET FELL COMPARISONS. In most cases only the amount requested for 1921 is entered, so that the citizens who desire to get some real information as to the past experience of the various departments, compared with requests for the future, can get this information only by going to the department heads and digging It (fut piecemeal. This, ostensibly, is what the modern budget is designed to do away with, so it is not hard to determine that the appropriation ordinance, which contains only general totals, and not the real budget wa* made generally public before the public hearing. City Controller Bryson himself stated that the present document Is not in very good form and that he Intends to, rewrite it soon. The estimates of th* board of public health and of tbe municipal garage are among the few which are entered strictly according to Mr. Tracy's form.

SEIZE 4 MEN IN $250,000 SWINDLE Police Say Ring Raised Figures on Bills of Lading. NEW YORK, Sept. 11. —Four men were to be arraigned here today on charges of obtaining $250,000 by forging bills of lading on which money was borrowed. Federal agents arrested George Pterotis, young Greek, when he returned here from a trip to Europ. They declared Pterotis was the “master mind” 1n an international swindle. Government operatives also arrested three assistants of Pterotis. The plan, according to tbe federal agents, was to offer sugar, coffee and other commodities to importers in Europe far below the market price. The number of articles shown on the bills of lading would be raised by Pterotis. after which he would present them to banks. Money was advanced on the bills of lading without question. , ’NOTHER TROUBLE WITH PEACE PACT (Continued From Page One.) clde with the Monroe doctrine, but tbe -literal effect of the clause, as originally drawn in the French, is the subordination of the Monroe doctrine to such a degrees as virtually to involve its complete abandonment. SEES DESTRUCTION OF 17. 8. PRINCIPLES. "One can not but help wonder whether the whole thing was a trap to dest-oy the good American doctrine of Monroe, to which this republic has been committed for more than a centufy. "One wishes to be both charitable and considerate, but it is bard to believe that this discrepancy was perpetrated without intention. Clarly either America is being deceived or the representatives of America have sought to deceive the nations with whom we propose to covenant our peaceful associations.” In event of dispute, European powers wonld inevitably accept tbe French version that being the official language of European diplomacy, Harding said. Harding explained he did not believe the president would knowingly be a party to deception of his own country, but there is a misunderstanding which in any business contract would have to be clarified before a prudent business man would sign it. Turning to relations of tbe government toward business, Harding declared the “pulling and hauling" of business and application of "weird economic and social theories" by an administration which i "could not even run Its own business,” would, if continued, mean a “no-hour I <lay” for American labor.
