anything in West Virginia about all OF
this? Senators Sutherland and FL
kins were signers Of famous ground
robin" SO called. Neither has, 60 far
as Is known, repudiated the stand tax
en- by them then. They are still class.
ed, and properly so as opposed to
the covenant OF the league OF nations,
as 1t stood then, and as 1t is presented
now. How then will they stand with
regard to II in the event OF It being
amended in the event that reserya.
tons are written into It and alteration
and changes made. aimed, to meet the
most vitality important criticisms, Is
quite another story. Both have stated
more than once that the assurances
that they have received from the state
satisfy them that a majority Of the
people back home approve Of their po-
s:tion. Both have received since the
time Of the so-called round robin"
hundreds OF letters from constituents.
Three CT their colleagues In the House
who visited in their respective dis
tricts the week Of the Fourth returned
to Washington to report that they
were convinced that public opinion in
West Virginia, no matter what It may
be in other states, was strongly oppos-
ed to the covenant Of the league of
nations as completed at Paris. Rep
resentative L. S. Echols Of the Charles
ton district, was most positive and
emphatic n this declaration. asserting
that he had made an inquiry from
men from all parts Of his district who
he knew and whose judgment of pub
lie thought he placed great reliance.
This may be,true as to West Virgin
la, but II 1t is true Of the country at
large, Washington does not know 1t.
Public sentiment in the nation Is the
big unknown, yet determining factor
in the pending problem. II It were
not, why these elaborate preparations
for an immediate hegira from the
White House, the Senate and other
LARS OF leaders and statesmen and or
ators to the platforms, to the soap
F:oxes, the town halls and the thea
tres? But Washington knows that It
is.

Washington, March 29.-Lieutenant Colonel c. V. Porter, of the judge advocate generals office, submitted a statement today to the special com- mittee of the American Bar Asso- citation, embodying changes in the military justice system which he said would bring about improvement in ad- ministration of justice. The com- mittee is Investigating army court martials at the requests of Secretary Baker.
 Colonel Poter's main recommenda- tion was the organization of spec ial and distinct corps of lawyers who would serve as dge-advocates, one portion to serve the prosecution and the other the defense in court mar tials.
 He also recommended reduction in the number of members of general court from thirteen to three or five and the assignment of counsel to the accused at the earliest possible mom- ent

MINORS WILL BE

 MAJOR LEAGUES

Chicago. March 29.-Plans for op- crating indcp endently of the major leagues were completed by a com mittee representing the National As sociation of Minor League at meet ing today. John H. Farrel, of Au- burn, x. Y., secretary of the National Association; Thomas J. Hickey, pres ident of the Amtrican Association, and A. R. Tearney, president of the Three and West Leagues, were named as committee to meet with the national commission, if neces- sary. to perfect a formal agreement.
 Tho presidency of the Western League will likely be retained by MT. Tearney despite the protest of E. M. Dickcrson, who held the office when the league suspended last season. William Rourke. owner of the Oma- ha club, and Edward J. Hanlon, own CT of the St. Joseph, Mo-, franchise, said that Dickerson had given the club owners no assurance when he expected to return from France; that two meetings had been adjourned pending definite word from Dicker- son and then because of the lateness of the season it became necessary to feet president to administer the af- fairs of the league.

COLLEGE PROFESSORS NEW ROCKET TERRIBLE
 DESTRUCTIVE ENGINE

Worcester, Mas. Mar. 29.-Dr w H. GoodarG, professor of physics at Clark College has invented new rocket that is reported to be terri 'ole engine of war. with an altitude range of 70 miles straight up into the ar and distance of at least 200 miles.
 The rocket, in the opinion of the scientists who have investigated it's workings, is the most efficient rocket ever devolped. It is claimed the 'Eeot known rocket in use tolay has an efficieny of less than three per cent, while the Goddard rocket has an efficiency of 63 per cent.
 The rocket has ben developed in a special laboratory at Worcester Tech and the signing of the armistice prevented its being put to actual use in warfare against the Germans.
 The Goddard rocket, weighing 30 pouncs, is propelled by perfected t2as engine installed in the lower part of the shell, the explosions that generate the power coming from car trldges that are fed into the chamber by clock-filje time device. The range of the rocket is limited only by the amount of propeling cartrid- ges it could be fitted to carry. The rocket does not require cannon to start it on it's flight, the journey be- ginning from any point where a man can get. The weapon feature of the rocket is in the head, where a cham ter is fitted to contain either high explosives or gas. Men who have followed the devolpment of Dr. Cod dard's rocket claim it can be made as efficient in naval warfare as in land battles.

 Washington, March 20. Official time in every section of the country will move forward one hour at ? o'clock. tomorrow morning, thus ush- ering in second summer of day light saving. The new time will re main in force until the last Sunday in October when clocks will be moved back an hour.
 The change of time is made neces- sary by the daylight saving law pass ed by congress during the war and which is still in effect. Vigorous protests against it were made during the last congress by farmers organ izations and the senate agriculture committee. added rider to the az riculture appropriation bill repeating the law but the supply measure was not acted upon.
