S L’HI’LUS war material is being sold
to tlie Mexican government, the
first shipments of arms and auimuni--
tlon having alfeady been received at
Mexico City. President Ohregon sent
u special emissary' to Washington to
asK this favor, and the granting of
It was approved by President Cool-
Idge on the reeomnjendution of Sec
retary of State Hughes, though the
amounts to la* sold will be far less
than Ohregon requested.
Opposition to the transaction has
promptly appeared in both house and
the senate and Is not confined to the
Idemoerats, though the opponents of
the administration nerhups are loudest
In their denunciation. Itcpresentu-
tive Fairchild of New York, Republi
can, jumped to the front with a joint
resolution to write Into the permanent''
law of the country the prohibition of
the sale of arms or ammunition to any
foreign government, whieh was the
policy o! the late President Harding.
“The sale to the (Jhregon govern
ment is astounding,” said Mr. Fair-
child. “I am surprised it should ever
In* thought of. There Is no essential
difference between ■ furnishing tireurms
and furnishing men to lire the- arms.
This act constRutes just its much
Interference and amounts to just us
much slaughter.”
Senators Norris, King and others
were only a little less outspoken in
their opposition to the sale, and Sena
tor Hiram Johnson In his Cleveland
speech Thursday, opening his Ohio
campaign, did not ncgl'e ■* to Include
the 'episode in his indictment of the
administration. Tim -Democrats have
evolved tlie theory it Is a political
move, pointing out that the diplomatic
peace with Mexico is to b,> used in the..!
coming election as one of the great
(’oolidge accomplishments. If n pevolu- !

region about Pernijc which Serbia
covets. Bulgaria wjtnts an outlet to
the Aegean across (Irecian Thrace, and
Serbia wishes to gain possession of
Salonikt to make up for the Joss of
Fiume to. Italy. In order to save that
port It may lie that Greece.will feel
compelled to support the Belgrade ul
timatum* To Bulgaria.
In Greece the stage Is set for the
establishment of a new form*of gov
ernment. On Wednesday, after Colonel
Plastlras, chief-of tF+e -reyohrtJon,-had-
dellvered to tiie national nssemitly a
vigorous Justification of his -actions
ttnd retired to private life, the.cabinet
resigned and all powers were handed
over to the' assembly. Next day M.
Venizclos arrived to assist In settling
tlie country’s affairs, and was given u
tremendous ovation. As to whether
Greece whnll lie a republic or n.mon
archy, VcnlZelos has said ite favored
a plebiscite hut libs republican sup
porters and most of the army officers
Insist this shall lie determined by the'
assembly. British influence, .which Is
strong In Greece, is supporting the
royalists and the Bank of Fngjand has
just refused to float a Greek loan
mainly "because of opposition to a re

of a new immigration bill providing
for extension of the quota rest rl^-tion
to all—countries In the western heml-

Orangeburg.—A’ head-on collissTo«
between a regular through freight
and a special freight engine of the
Southern railway near .'Orangeburg,
caused the instant death of AT Brown,
ejigineer, and Oliver Hopkins, npgro
fireman,- of the through freight, and
fatal injuries to L. K. Da ritzier and
C. J. Youngblood, engineer and con
ductor of the special, who. died later
at a local hospital.
Riding on the through freight 'en
gine were C. J^Ulrlch. conductor, and
B. C. Worthman, brakeman, both of
whom were slightly scalded and bruis
ed but will recover. The special con
sisted only of an ^n4__tender
going to Fort Motte to take up a dead
engine and train for Columbia and be

the big French dirigible Dixmude
was lost in the Mediterranean during
a storm, for the body of her com
mander and fragments' of wreckage

disaster has caused much of a political
scandal in I’aris, tlie air ministry be
ing bitterly, attacked.
In tlds connection it is worthy of
note that Captain McCrary, com

N THE eve of tlie assembling of
^ the new parliament the British do
fiot know just what to do in the mat
ter of a new government'. King George
lias denlandbd that the Labor party lie
given its chance, n'otliwithstaiyling tlie
declaration by its leader, Ramsay Mu.e-
Donnld, that the monarch’s right to
dissolve parliaments-should be curbed.
But the prospect of a Labor.or Social
ist government is having a bad effect
on the money market and the iMiuml
sterling has had*a decided decline.
Consequently there sprang up—-last
week a strong demand for some sort
of a fusion of the Liberals.jind Tories
to keep the Laborites out of office, and
as it seems Impossible to find an.V-
other Conservative leader willing to
take the Job. it may be that Baldwin
will be Induced to hang on to the pre-
jnlorshlp. .with, the promise of. Libepal
support, though he-Is represented ns
eager to resign. In the Labor party
those is growing friction between the
fered severe bruises and cuts and a
fractured skull. ' His chances for re
covery are slight.
Engineer JDantzler started his spe
cial at -Branchville and was here.given
orders by operator Vonleigh to pass
the through freight at Orangeburg;
these orders were forgotten by the
engineer and conductor, it is thought.
A severe fog was on at the time. Ef
forts were* made at Orangeburg to
stop the special, aii the engine at Fort
Motte was in shape again, but the
signals could not be seen and the
special did,not stop. About four miles
That boy scouts are practical'

Is shown In the recent Rigorous good
turn of Scout John Watkins of Phila
delphia who, after an exciting ctrass
on foot, trolley car ’and automobile,'
traded three hurgiurH and cauaed-thu-
arrext of two of them.
Scout Watkins first learned of the
bandits’ activities when Morris Coliefi,
proprietor of a drug store which the
hoy was passing, rushed . Cr^lu bis
shop, shouting he had been 'robbed,
states a Philadelphia Journal,
“The men had, entered the store and
had taken $00 from the proprietor's
pocket and a gold watch and chain.
They then forced the druggist to the
cellar, took $80 from the cash regis
ter, and left the store, on the run. The
scout noticed them first as they
passed him, and a few moments later
when. Cohen emerged and described
what hud occurred, the boy started In
pursuit. \ ‘
“Once he nearly caught up to the
bandits, but helpless to do anything
single-handed, kept them In sight
until he would see a policeman. At
another point In the ehu?e Watkins
Jumped on Hie rear of a passing auto-
Irolloy, the hoy Juln|>ed from the auto
and hung on hack'of the car until he
saw \wo pollceme'n, to who*m he
galled. TJLiey boardfid_the car and
WatklnsTdentlfled two of the burglars.
The third could not be found. On
the floor of the car, near where the
men had been seated, the police found
the-money and two-pistols. The
burglary were taken.,to the police sta
