TO PROBE ALLEGED FORGERY
BY WIFE IN DE LAToUR CASE
Though the police admitted they
had no facts on which to base charge
of murder, Mrs. Wanda de Latour
was aTraigned in the West Chicago
avenue police court today in connec-
ton with the death of her husband,
Jan de Latour, which resulted from
dose of poison placed in a cup
of tea.
The hearing was continued until
August 26 on the request Of Attorney
Max KaczmaTek, who signed the
complaint against the widow of the
nObleman. Mrs. de LatOur was re-
leased on $4,000 bond. The attorney
declared he wanted time to inves-
tigate the charge that the woman
had forged her husbands name to
document which permitted her sister,
who lives in Russia, to dispose of
property he had in that country.
A notary public told Maczmarek
Mrs. de LatOur had appeared at his
office with the document. She was
told that her husbands signature
was necessary. She is then said to
have taken the paper, declaring that
herhusband was sick in the hospital.
Later she returned, with the paper
supposedly properly signed.
Mrs. de Latour protested her limo
cence of any connection with her
husbands death, and declared she
did not fear full investigation. The
night of his death, she said, he had
chased her out of the house with a
butcher knife because she refused to
sign a mortgage on teir home. When
she returned de Latour was with
ing on a bed in terrible agony. She
called a doctor.
'She's poisoned me! She's poison

tor, pointing at his wife.

CASE OF SOCRATES
REOPENED IN COURT
Eccentric Lawyer Demanded
New Trial After 1000 Years.

Athens. Greece. - One would imag-
ine that Greece has other things to
think about just at present than the
guilt or innocence of Socrates. Yet in
all seriousness the case of the great
philosopher has been reopened before
the courts here after over 1900 years
at the instance of an eccentric old bar
rister named Peradopulos.
Ten years ago Peradopulos retired to
study his case. and he appeared In
court with hundreds of bundles of doc
uments. He argued that not only was
Socrates unJustly sentenced to drink
from the poisoned cup. as be had not
perverted the youth of Athens. but
that there were several breaches of
law in his trial.
After listening patiently to the old
mans advocacy the presiding judge
regretted that he did not see his way
to refer the case to a higher tribunal,
as Socrates had long since been recog.
nized by humanity as one of the great.
est and best men of all time.

As Basis For Drawing Supply of Off
eers-Proposal to Cut Term of En-
listment to Two Years In Effort to
Get Required Number of Privates
Would Decrease Murder Rate.
Neutrality-suspicious. for an army of
100000 men have been prepared by
Major General Leonard Wood, chief of
STAFF of the United States army.
General Wood is not in favor of
large standing army, but he points out
that in the Revolution this country was
assisted by France; in the war of 1912.
even when Great Britain was closely
pressed during the Napoleonic wars,
the United States narrowly escaped de-
feat, while the Mexican war only rep
resented a triumph over a far weaker
power. Never yet has this country
confronted first class military power,
he says. Cur tremendous resources of
men are now as unavailable and use
less as would be rich Alaskan gold
mines during a crisis in Wall street
"How can we be ready and yet not
become a military nation?" he asks.
He estimates that at the first call to
arms 100000 men must be Immediately
modified. while the utmost force that
could now be put in the iield is 10000
men.
Then General Wood outlines the
plan the general staff is at present
pushing in congress to supply the ma
tional reserve of 100000 men it deems
necessary.

Of all required as a nucleus of the re

MAJOR GENERAL LEONARD WOOD.
The general staff first of all has asked
congress for legislation authorizing
graduates from these schools to be Ell
listed for one year as second lieuten-
ants in the regular army. Thus it
hopes to instruct in the officers duty
men enough to fill the reserves needs
Ten days service with the army every
other year would be the only addition
al requirement of reserve officers.
To provide the 100000 reserve pri
Yates and nOncommissioned officers
the general staff proposes to reduce
the term of enlistment in the regular
army to two years. thus creating
constantly shifting personnel equipped
with military knowledge. with the
duty of serving the flag in case of war.
This scheme would be supplemented
by cooperation with the national
guard of the different states and su
pervision of their work by the general
staff. while they would be stimulated
to larger enlistments than at present.
"We have a murder rate about FIVE
times as great I'm this country as that
of any of the so called military coun.
tries of Europe" says General Wood
Military service instills regard for law
and order while it instills solidarity
and patriotism. Wars will always ex
ist until human nature is so changed
that great nations, realizing that they
have the power and can get what they
need, voluntarily submit disputes to
arbitration. That consumnation will
never be reached"
