will be permitted to compete for the
Pllltzer trophy for the longest flight
to or from Atlantic City in Fay during
the Second Pan-American Aeronauti-

Secretary Chamber of Commerce,
Americas, Ga,
Dear Sir:
Your telegram of April Sth address,
ed to the Secretary of War, has been
referred to this office for reply.
Please be advised that the Director
of Air Service has announced this date
that owing to rehabilitation, reor-
gan1zation, the Victory campaign, and
the consequently great amount of work
under way with reduced personnel, the
Air Service cannot take part in the
Second Pan-American Aeronautical
Exhibition.
He has also announced that Army
flyers and planes cannot compete for
the Pulitzer or other trophies for the
same reason and for the additional
reason that it is considered an improp-
er use of the time of flyers and of
Government property to compete for
purses and individual prizes.
General Mensher further states that
the Air Service will give favorable
consideration to any project OF this
sort which has for it's object aerial
performances, without remuneration.

~ pendabIe and serUiceabIe institution
of the Wanamaker August Furniture
Sale UiH open on August First and IUiH
be as good as eUer.
A larger quantity than ever is looked
for. We had rather more than $1,000
pieces in last August's Sale We plan
ned to eclipse those figures in the August,
1919 Sale.
A rather finer display than ever, too,
making selection easier and more quickly
accomplished. More floor space will be
given over to the furniture than ever be-
fore, and there will be striking demon
stration altogether of the immense va
riety of styles, periods, and kinds Of
good furniture provided for every room in
the house-bed-room dining-room, liv-
ing-room, library, hall!
Of one particularly remarkable and
attractive display, and it's unique ar
rangement, we shall have something to
say in later advertisements.
Qualities are the old kind-the kind
that "Wanamaker used to make
Sooner, for us, no Sale, and public
disappointed in that way, than one disap-
pointed by any departure from our an
cient standards of "the best that the mar
ket produces" Fine works, fine styles,
fine lines, fine workmanship-thes alone
we ordered and these alone we accepted.
n F PRICE there is this to say:
~ The tremendous uphoisting in
furniture prices of which we have spoken
and which has literally scared some
conservative purchasers out of buying
things Of real necessity, dates from early
last Spring.
Our orders placed for this August
Furniture Sale date from before that
time because our realization of the COM
ing difficulties dated from a still earlier
period.
The reductions on some goods will
reach so per cent, and on none will be less
than 10 per cent of the regular market
prices prevailing when the specially pur
chased goods were ordered, or when the
goods in our own famous stocks, from
which we've taken and repriced hundreds
of good pieces and'suits, were bought.
AS those market prices themselves
were 35 per cent lower then than they are
now, it may be seen that there's some
thing to gain by purchasing in the
August Sale of Wanamaker Furniture.
DROCEDING the formal opening day.
there will be four Courtesy Days of
Inspection:
Monday, July g.; Tuesday, July 20.
Wednesday, July 30, and Thursday,
July 81.
During these days the display may be
viewed, and selections and reservations
made freely, although the goods will not
be delivered before August 1st, and
(when charged on your account), will be
billed in August.
Your vacation may commence on
August 1st, but by this convenient ar
rangement you needn't miss the August
Furniture Sale!

~ whom nothing is news, nothing
can be told, that they did not re-
ceive by private channels or know by nat
ural instincts, beforehand-if you believe
their own statements. We heard yester-
day of good type of this class, who, when
someone was attempting to describe the
beauties of the Natural Bridge of Vir-
ginia, interrupted:
eyes, know all about it, my father
built it."
Of course, too, there are people en-
gagged or employed in businesses touching
or kindred to our own, who have come into
possession by the same road of much of
the same information as that which we
are giving to the public in this notice. By
such persons, every word OF the notice
will be read with close attention, because
they know it to be so true.
But the general public has devoted
little or no thought to the subject in hand.
Yet, some members of the general
public are going to be married, more or
less shortlyl
Others are moving into new homes,
wit III the inevitable accompanying
changes in their outward environment.
And all around, on every hand, new
furniture is needed, in homes new and old,
because of the tendency of new furniture
to be needed. eeo
Fashions change, tastes change-and
some furniture, we are sorry to say,
changes, and not for the better, although
there never was, and is not even yet, the
first mortal necessity, economic or other
wise, for anyone's buying furniture of the
doubtful kind.
THE few facts regarding furniture
Il that we are going to tell you con-
Germ everybody who sits on chair, sleeps
in bed, eats from table, or writes let
ters at desk.
The extraordinary conditions that
just now govern the business of manufac-
turing, buying and selling furniture
make it lucky firm, lucky seller or
lucky purchaser who can make, sell or buy
a chair, bed, table or desk-still more,
fine set of furniture such as the modern
taste demands.
These conditions of difficulty, and
corresponding expense, can scarcely be
exaggerated; scarcity of skilled cabinet
makers; scarcity and costliness of every
material that's put into furniture-the
lumber, the covering, if upholstered, the
metal springs, or even castors-the very
glass that is put into simple bureau, the
very shellac its surface is finished with.
The leading manufacturers = all
those of whose work is worth while-are
'booked ahead" with furniture orders
running up to next January, which they
must strain every resource to supply
and charge the customer accordingly.
Pessimists tell us not to expect things
to clear up and get normal again within
five years. We prefer to be optimistic and
tell you not to expect them to do so within
two years.

INTERVENTION IN MEXICO IS
 NOT FAVORED
General Obregon Thus Con cludes After Study of
 American People.

Nogales, Ariz., Sept. 12.---The ma jority of the American people reject the idea of armed intervention Tn Mexico, General Alvaro O5reEon said in a formal statement here before de- parting for a tour of Mexico in the interest of his candidacy for the presidency of the republic.
 "I conclude this from an intimate knowledge of the American people" General Obregon said. whom I al ways have found to be possessed of q great spirit of brotherhood and fra ternity.
 Tt is inConceivable that the United States should wage war on neigh boring country only because of in herent discontent caused by abnormal conditions created through civil war which the Mexican people have been forced into exactly for the same req son which brought about the world war"
 General Obregon expressed regret at the recurrence of incidents which bring detriment to the harmony and good understanding between the two countries and urged American citizens to beware of misleading propaganda.

Tokio, Wednesday. Sept. 1O.---(By A. PD---Since the attempt to assassin ate Baron Saito, Governor of Korea, at Seoul on September 2, every part of that city has been occupied by Japanese troops and the place is vir- tually in a stage of siege. The would be assassin is still at large, although a number of persons suspected of be- ing implicated are under arrest. The bomb thrown at Baron SaitO exploded with terrific violence. and an inspec- ton of the fragments has shown the missile was scientifically constructed. The police believe the bomb was not made in Korea. but was brought into the country, probably from Nanchu- ria.
 The attack followed days of agita- tion in Seoul, the demonstrations be- ing marked by flag raising, public meetings and the closing of shops An independent newspaper was issued on August %, the ninth anniversary of the annexation of Korea by Japan, as an avowed expression of protest. The day was called National Disgrace Day. in the publication.

Commander of A. E. F. Warmly Greeted By
 10000.

On the eve of his departure this morning for Philadelphia and Wash ington. General Pershing last night addressed about 10000 former service men and women, members of the American Legion. in Madison Square Garden. He was warmly welcomed.
 The General addressing the meet ing, said:
 Fellow Soldiers. Ladies and Gen tlemen: I am very glad to have an opportunity so soon atfer my return from abroad of saying a word to those who participated in the great achieve ments that are today to the credit of the American Army in Europe
 While you were in the army you had an opportunity to learn some thing of discipline, to learn of the im- pOrtance of self-control and of obedi- enCe to orders. These things seem 70 come about naturally to the we'll raised American boy. There has been in our army in Europe the exercise of a discipline which I believe is un- known to other armies. This has made it easier for your officers, those ments, to make their calculations as 10 the outcome; but you could not have undergone this experience with out having received from it a material benefit
 The organization which has been launched, known as the American n Legion, possesses the great advantages for the display or for the exercise of the same patriotism with which you have been imbued during your service abroad, and it is the hope of all that you will enter upon your duties with the same integrity of purpose and with the same resolute 2 patriotism with which you conducted yourselves on the battlefelds of France Ours is a country Of laws, and not of men, and it should be the purpose of this organization to stand for laws based
 upon the sound principles of the Con- stitut,On.
 'I should deplore it if I felt there was any chance of the American Le- zion becoming a political tool in the hands of political aspirants. I be- lieve the organization has an oppor- tunity to do a great good in the county by becoming a school of patriotism, if you will. by fostering those things which are dear and near to us as having come down to us by our forefathers.
 T am glad to give encouragement | to the American Legion as long as Il stands for true Americanism. As l long as 1t keeps it's skirts clean and free from petty politics. and with that understanding, I shall be glad to en- | courage 1t in every way in the in- ! crease of it's membership, and in aid- 1 ing it to teach the country, if you | will, more of patriotism than it had 1 before the war.
 ITO put it into one sentence, the American Legion should cherish and l foster the lessons in patriotism that i Nave been brought home to the
 American people during the last two years"
