important developments in the interna-
tional situation.
The President was especially inter-
ested in the reports from his advisers
regarding the state of mind of the
country on the national defense issue
There has been no great uncertainty
in his mind as to how the disclosure
OF his intention to recommend ade-
quate increase for the army and navy
would be received, but the enthusiasm
evidenced in the reports made to him
were most gratifying. The importance
of an accurate political forecast of the
attitude of the country on the ma
tional defense issue before the next
session of Congress was fully realized
by the President and his advisers, for
there have been indications that the
Administrations program will meet
with bitter opposition in the House and
Senate.
Secretary of War Garrison is under
stood to have practically completed
his report on the army
The Presidents consideration of the
steps to be taken to strengthen the
army and navy is based upon the as
sumption that no necessity will arise
for calling Congress into session be-
fore the date of the regular session
in December. it was disclosed yester-
day. On the other hand. he is de-
sirous of making all possible progress
with the formulation of the program,
so that the various measures may be
put speedily into shape should 1t de-
velop that an extra session is neces-
sary.

Prominent men attending the camp,

night. The general made it plain this
afternoon that he did not mean to re-

United States in his talk, and that he
meant no one nation when he re-

DEATH ON TRACKS IS
YELLED in MYSTERY
Strange Circumstances of New York
ers End Investigated by
Officials.

New York, Aug. 12.-Circumstances so
singular and perplexing as to envelope
with mystery to an unusual degree the
death Of Edward Moynan. whose man.
gled body was found on the New York
Central tracks at Dobbs Ferry, July 60,
have led to a series of investigations
to determine in what manner the man
met death.
Standing out are the following facts:
Moynan carried insurance of thousands
of dollars in three companies; his rela-
tives announced at the time his body
was found he had a certified check for
$1,000 in his possession when he left
home: only 50 cents was found on his
body; a gold seal ring was MISSING from
his finger; a relative pomised to pro-
duce his check and bankbooks; this was
not done. nor has it been possible to
locate the relative since:- the family
of the dead man said they were to ac-
company him to the San Francisco fair;
not only trunks. but house furnishings
were packed the day after the body was
found: the Moynan home is now closed
and the family have moved away,
neighbors say. to Chicago.
Investigations of the mystery are be-
ing conducted by Coroner Dunn, Of
Yonkers; the Aetna Life Insurance Com
pany and the Great Eastern Casualty
Company. In addition, Chief Of Police
Costello, OF Dobbs Ferry. is making an
inquiry.
Moynan held an accident policy for
5000 in the Aetna company The policy
was procured in March, 1915 His body
was found July 30 and was identified
July 81. On August / M. E. Wagner,
of Moynan. wrote the Aetna
company requesting that they communi-
cate with him before 10 a. m, August
- at 218 Sixty-seventh street, Brook.
lyn, with reference to settlement. Al
though the company has taken no action
toward making settlement. no further
request has come from the relatives.

HARRISON DRUG BILL
BECOMES A LAW

There has just been signed by
the president a very important
drug bill which prohibits the sale
of narcotic drugs except upon
prescription from licensed ply
sician.
This is great step in doing
away with drug stores that are
kept alive by their sale of NOR
phine, cocaine, heroin and their
kindred "dopes."
This bill was backed by the line
of Rexall stores throughout the
country and carries out the resolu-
tions adopted by the national Rex
all convention held last summer.
Various states have such laws,
but, like most state laws, they are
poorly enforced; but this being a
national law, it will cause all the
drug stores of the country to con-
form to the standard set by the
Rexall store in each community.
The new law, which goes into
effect March lst, will in no way
change the present policy of the
Rexall store in Monte Vista, and
we welcome the provisions which
will do away with the pernicious
sale of narcotic drugs and at the
same time raise the general stand
