Problem Biggest Before Congress, He Tell Capital Times 1 1 -r-KE people of Montana are very loosely knit along party lines. and I am much in sympathy with the non-partisan, pnnciples-be-fore-party policy of Sen. Robert M.

La-Follette, V. S. Sen. Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana, told The Capital Times in an interview Monday afternoon.

In Madison only a short time enroute from Montana to Washington, D. C.t Sen. Walsh visited at the home of his sister, Mrs. Kate Wattawa, 1813 Adams st. He also conferred with Sen.

La-Follette. but the latter said they did not discuss the political situation. Grateful to Bob Sen. LaFollette was a great help during his speaking tour in Montana, Sen. Walsh said.

He drew record crowds everywhere he spoke and I am very grateful to him. The -Montana senator declared that unemployment is unquestionably the greatest problem facing the next session of Congress." He declared himself in favor of the proposed truce between the Democrats and Republicans in Congress in order that seme relief plan might be worked out as quicklv as possible. Political lines must be disregarded if any immediate relief is to be obtained through legislation, he asserted. Sincerity Necessary But, he added, sincerity must predominate in the minds of Republicans and Democrats if such a truce is to be effective. The majority must not oppose the minority's proposals for relief; political methods must be abolished if we are to gain any effective end.

Both I Major Who Sent Message Now Movie Studio, By DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer Hollywood, uai. The man who stilled the thunder of the guns of Americas greatest army on Nov. II, 1918, and formally brought Americas part in the conflict to a close, is celebrating the 12th anniversary of that great occasion here by calmly going about his regular days work as a watchman at the gates of a moving picture studio. He is Major George D. Beaumont, veteran of the Spanish-American and World Wars, who received from General Hunter Liggett, at 7 a.

on Nov. 11, the order to notify all American commanding officers to cease firing at 11 a. four hours later. He still has the original copy of that historic order. Its about all I salvaged out cf my army service, he says, but it something no other man could bring home.

Major Eeaumont still wears a uniform but not of the army. Instead it is the uniform of i studio "watchman. n.fcdais, his puttees and his Sam Btowne belt have been put away, and he busies himself at his duties of keeping unauthorized visitors out of the studio. Order Came at 7 m. I received General Liggett- order to cease firing a few minutes after 7 o'clock in the morning, and started sending it out along the entire western front at seven ten, he says.

It was to take effect at 11 o'clock the hour at which the war was to be officially ended. Our first thought was to make sure the order was received by every commanding officer, so that there would be no guns fired after 11 o'clock. To accomplish this we first telegraphed the order to the five generals commanding the five army corps at the front. Then we telephoned the order to them. After that I made copies of the message, sent one of them over to the radio dug-out to be broadcast, and sent others by motorcycle messengers to each of the five commanding officers.

Armistire Signed at 5 a. m. The armistice had been signed at five that morning. On the American front, as it happened, hostilities continued right up to 11, and probably a number of American and German soldiers were killed after the armistice had been signed; after the order had been transmitted from general headquarters in fact. The following is quoted from a dispatch sent to the New York Times oq Armistice Day of 1918 by Edwm L.
