SEES BAN ON PICKERING
IN FEDERAL WAR BOARD
Dr.. ]. W. Coughlin Regards Presi-
dents Shipping Board Shake-Up
Broader Than on Surface.

That there is mere behind the re-
organization of the shipping board
than appears on the surface. and that
the President has virtually served
notice on all other boards and COM
missions that the administration will
not countenance any pickering or
squabbling among those who are sup
posed to be working for the war in
terests of the government, is the
view expressed by DIR. John W. Cough
lin, democratic national committeeman
from Massachusetts,.
As DIR. Coughlin has been in confer
ence with democratic leaders here. and
as he has always been a stanch sup
porter of the President and in the con-
ffdences of the White House. it is be-
ieved his opinion echoes that Of party
leaders generally.
When pressed for his views on the
Goethals = DenDan controversy. DR..
CoughIin said: The Presidents action
in terminating the unfortunate conten-
man Denman has won the commenda-
ton of the people in the country gen.
orally.
Baneful influence Checked.
ITO permit this personal disagree
r1ent longer TO BLOCK ana reldfO the
great work for which the board was
instituted would have been an egregi-
Gus mistake and would have resulted
only in disaster to the nation and the
allies
"Notwithstand ing the Presidents splen-
did patience in dealing with those who
were party to the controversy, he was
compelled finally to act as he did by a
high sense of duty to the country and by
the very seriousness of the situation. In
fact, it was impossible TO permit this con-
tention longer to exist without having it's
baneful influence permeate other depart
nents of the government. His action,
therefore. is undoubtedly a significant
warning to these other departments that
they must set aside their personal dis
agreements and unite in earnest CO.

A RUSSIAN TRAITOR

Premier Kerensky's victory over
 General Korniloff will greatly add to
 his strength and give him even more
 power to fight against the ever pres- .ent danger in Russia of a return to
 Czardom, and the wrestling from the
 Russian people of their newly won
 freedom. It is known that former
 Czar Nicholas still has many follow CTS and these would grasp the s1ight>
 est opportunity to bring Russia once
 more under the yoke of autocracy.
 Even before the downful1 of Nicholas
 there were those who, seeing the
 trend of events, preferred g. German victory to a free Russia. Such was the case with Colonel Myasoyedov,
 who occupied a high position on the staff of the Russian army He was
 accused of treason, convicted and hanged. He pleaded guilty and asked for no mercy. In his address to the court-martial he said: 'Yes, I was l in the service of the German govern
 ment; I organized net of spies; ] delivered to the German military au- thorities documents of. the highest importance. I did it in full conscious
 ness of what was doing. knew that
 a revolutionary movement was threat ening the monarchy and our below ed Czar. Victorious Russia would in evitably become a republic. The only way of preventing it was to help Ger many win the war. A powerful Ger man emperor is a guarantee for the monarchy in Russia; he would send an army to suppress a, revolution
 There were many Colonel Myasoye- doys in Russia, and Kerensky Is
 watching out for others of his kind.

MITCHELL MAY
 TAKE PLACE ON FUSION TICKET
Leaders Practically Concede Republican Nomination
 to Bennett

New York, Sept. 2s.-William M. Bennett, candidate for the Republican nomination for mayor, continued to maintain his lead over Mayor John
 Purroy Mitchel in the unofficial re- count of the ballots cast in last week s
 primaries when a recess was taken early today. The latest figures gave Bennett a ESajority over the major of
 AS votes. The inspection of the bal lots is expected to be completed by
 Saturday night.
 Following a conference with Edward
 F. Boyle, chairman of the board Of
 elections, District Attorney Swann de- cided yesterday to investigate alleged
 irregularities in certain election dis
 tricts.
 Mayor Mitchell and A. S. Gilbert, his counsel both assured counsel for MT. Bennett that if the examination shows
 that Bennett is the winner they will expedite court decisions declaring him the nominee.
 Although Mayor Mitchel has not an- nounced that he will run independent ly, the fusion committee of 1917 yes- terday perfected its campaign plans on the theory that Mr., Bennett will be declared the nominee of the Re-
 publican party and that the mayor
 will consent to make a fight against
 both Bennett and Judge HIylan, the Democratic -Tammany candidate. '<

LORD FRENCH

Field Marshal Sirc John Denton Pinkstone French, K. c. M. G., G. c. B., G. c. V. O., D. c. L., LL D., such is the full name and list of titles and honors held by the former command CT of the British forces at the front in France, and now commander in chief of the home forces. Sir. John French, as he is known to all the world, will celebrate today his sixty fifth birthday, as he was born in Kent, the son of Capt French of the Royal Navy, on Sept. 2s, 1852. That was a noteworthy year for the future allies. for. Gen Joffre was also born in 1852, only a few months before his future colleague made his mundane debut. Sir John began his career as warrior in, the navy about fifty years ago joining the Britannia in Is 66,y and serving four years as a, mid : shipman and cadet in the Royal Navy. In 1874 he decided that he would pre- fer to do his fighting on terra firma. and entered the army by way of the l Eighth HusSars. Later he was trans ferred to, the Nineteenth Hussars with which he served in the Soudan
 campaign thirty years ago. That was his first experience in actual warfare
 He was practically unknown to the vast majority of his military talents
 In that conflict he performed one o1
 the most spectacular feats of the war When Lord Roberts took command
 he placed French in charge of the
 cavalry and ordered him to relieve
 Kimberly, in which Cecil Rhodes wa: besieged. Through hundred miles l of veldt, swarmfng with Boer com
 mandos, French fought every inch ol the way and swept into Kimberly ninety-six hours after he had started . He reached the rank of general 1T 107, and in 113 he became a fielc
 marshal. When England entered the war now raging in. Europe, French
 was placed in command of "the con. ltemptab1e little English army wnfcr consisted of about 150,O0O men. Fiel6 Marshal French, after the disastrou: : battle of Loos, was superseded in the supreme command of the British forces by Sir Douglas Haig. It wa: generally understood that if Sir Jolr l could have achieved final victory h.
 would have been rewarded with {
 dukedon1 and a cash payment of { million dollars. Wellington and 4,Marl borough afford precedents for such {
 reward, as both ducal houses wer.
 founded by successful military lead CTS.

War Stimulates Study
 Of Chemical Engineering

Cambridge, Mass, Sept. 2s.-The study of chemical engineering has been greatly stimulated by the war.
 This fact is revealed in the courses selected by students at the Massachu-
 setts Institute of Technology for the coming year. Walter Humphreys, registrar of the institute, said today that of the larger courses chemical
 engineering had drawn the greatest increase in students, amounting to E per cent. Of the courses with less
 than 50 men, naval architecture is in the lead, with an increase Of 16 per
 cent.
