“BARNEY” BARUCH WANTS A JOB Bernard N. (“Barney”) Baruch wants a job. Peace, he is convinced, has hardships no less terrific than war, for now that the war is over he is out of work. Millionaire though he is, adviser of the president both in America and Eu rope throughout the war, and intimate associate of captains of industry in all parts of the world, the former chairman of the war industries board and financial adviser to the peace conference is nevertheless looking for a situation. And there are difficulties. One of the chief difficulties is that Mr. Baruch has -reformed, he says. For many years he was a gambler. He publicly admitted it when he was summoned as a witness in the famous senate “leak” investigation, but the weight of war and serious business of life have reformed him. He never again will be a gambler or dabble in the uncertain affairs of Wall street. Hence no stock brokers need apply for Baruch’s services. That gateway to continued prosperity is closed to him. “Shun politics and political jobs,” is his second resolution. RANK OF GENERAL FOR PERSHING Permanent ranks of general in the regular army for General Pershing, whose portrait is given herewith, and General March, chief of staff, and per manent ranks of admiral in the navy for Rear Admiral Sims and Admiral Benson, chief of operations, are asked of congress by President Wilson. The president’s message to congress fol lows: “I take the liberty of calling your attention to a matter which I am sure is at the heart of the whole country, and which I have had very much In mind throughout all these months when we were trying to arrange a peace that would be worthy of the spirit and achievement of the men who won the victory in the field and on the sea. “After mature reflection, I earnest ly recommend that you give the perma nent rank of general to John J. Per shing and Peyton C. March, express ing the law in such a way as to give precedence to General Pershing; and that you give the permanent rank of admiral to William S. Benson and William S. Sims. “I take it for granted that I am only anticipating your own thought in proposing these honors for the men upon whom the principal responsibilities devolved for achieving the great results which our incomparable navy and army accomplished." LEGUIA AND REVOLUTION IN PERU Concerning the new revolution in Peru, Senator Sherman of Illinois had this, among other things, to say in the senate: “Mr. President, I read among the signatory nations to the peace cove nant, the 32 original elect, the name of Peru. At three o’clock—inoppor tune time, indeed—on the morning of the Fourth of July, 1919, two regiments of soldiers rushed in on the palace of the president at Lima, seized by force Senor Don Jose Pardo, president of Peru, and immediately conveyed him to the penitentiary. I shall observe with mild curiosity what our president thinks of it. “Two soldiers and three civilians were killed. While the slaughter was far from satisfactory for a coup d’etat in such a republic, the principle of self- determination of a free people is felt to be sufficiently vindicated. “Peru had an election for presi- ident last May. As usual, both candidates claimed to be elected. President Pardo was maintaining the status quo while the contest was pending before the Peruvian congress. Senor Augusto Leguia (portrait herewith), candidate of the independent party, claimed four-fifths of the votes were cast for him. President Pardo was alleged to favor the seating of Senor Aspillnga, who was Senor Leguia’s rival. Senor Leguia countered with two regiments of soldiers while it was yet time. “An embarrassing feature was breaking off a Fourth of July celebration arranged by the American legation at Lima. The reign of universal peace vouchsafed by the League of Nations was to have been celebrated in speech and song with floats, international flags and music.” ENVER PASHA WILL BE EXECUTED Enver Pasha, whose portrait is given herewith, Talaat Pasha and Djemal Pasha have been sentenced to death by a Turkish court-martial which Investigated the conduct of the Turk ish government during the war. Enver and Talaat were among the leaders of the Young Turks who forced Sultan Abdul Hamid from the throne and gov erned the empire through his ignorant and superstitious brother Mohammed. Enver fancied himself an oriental counterpart of Napoleon, and, pos sessed of ability and unscrupulousness, rose, at the age of thirty-eight, to be minister of war, with the sultan’s daughter the chief figure in his harem. Talaat, once a telegraph operator, be came minister of the interior with power even greater than that of Enver. It was he who thought out the policy of the complete extermination of the Armenian race, and it was his order that caused the death of 1,000,000 Ar menians. Djemal, an Egyptian prince, as was the sultan. The three condemned men looted tl incredibly rich and vain, was their tool, lie treasury and fled about three months ago. The Turk apparently has had a change of policy since November 11,1918. nil TUB REASON WHY IT HAS DOUBLE LIFE PATENTEb LOCK PLATES APART FOR ALL CARS FOR ALL SYSTEMS BLALOCK TRADING COMPANY There Is more Catarrh in this rection of the country than all otjjer diseases put together, and for years it was sup posed to be incurable.
