Associated Press by Courier to Vladi-
vostok). All the American women
Red Cross workers at Omsk, approx
mately 60, were recently ordered sent
to Irkutsk by Roland S. Morris, Ameri-
can ambassador to Japan, who came
to Omsk on orders from Washington

Major Slaughter, the representative at

gestion daily was increasing. He re-
commended removal of the women

Military Training Bill
Opposed by Gunrdsmen

WASHINGTON, August 25.-The
Chamberlain-Kahn bill proposing six
months compulsory military training
for all youths between the ages Of
eighteen and twenty-six, was charac-
terized as crude and incomplete" and
patterned after the "Prussian system"
in a statement issued here by the or
ganization committee Of the National
Guard Association of the United
States, of which Colonel John B. Rose
is chairman.
The effect Of the bill. particularly,
the provision to create a home
guard" for an organization which
those who had completed training
might enter as an alternative of be-
ing subject to a years peace-time SER
vice in the army. would be to de
stroy the national guard" the state
ment said The publication for a
years service in the regular army af-
ter training was criticized as meaning
transcription of our citizens in time
of peace" The cost of the system,
estimated in the statement at between
one and one-half and two billion dol
lars annually, the committee declared
to be prohibitive. The plan was brand
ed as "Prussianistic" because it puts
the whole system under control of
regulations to be adopted by the gen.
eral staff.

been handled through the Kennedy
company, this season, and all the
threshing has been completed.
Mr.. Anderson, of the Anderson &
Sons Elevator company, which have
elevators at Milton, Beeson's Station
and Bentonville, said that at all times
they had been able to ship grain, and
that now they only had 1000 bushels
Of grain on hand, which was in stor-
age at the Bentonville elevator, as both
the other elevators had been cleaned
out.
They have handled approximately
100, 900 bushels of grain this season,
and are still receiving grain. Ander-
son said that he anticipated little or
no trouble from the shortage of cars.
The firm has handled a very small
amount Of oats this season, and the
crop was normal. Practically all of
the oats threshing has been done by
the farmers already.
F.. c. Richards of the Richards and
Sons Elevator company of New Paris,
O., was probably the hardest hit Of
any of the elevator men, as he has had
| to shut down his elevator for lack OF
! cars with which to ship his grain.
He has about 10000 bushels Of grain
| In shortage at present, ana curing tne
| whole season has only handled about
| 5000 bushels as a result of the strike.
, Richards is under the impression that
| the recent strike was just forerun-
ner to another and larger one, which
, will follow, and predicted serious
trouble He has grain coming in at all
| times but is unable to store 1t. His
elevator has handled no oats at all
! this season, and the crop has been
very poor, he said.

farmer IS NOT
PROF|TEER SAY
OHIO EXPERTS
Has Lost Money This Year on
Industrial Basis of Compu-
tation.

COLUMBUS, O.. Aug. 25.-strong
defenses Of the farmer have been made
by c. E. Thorne, Director Of the
Wooster Experiment Station. and AL.
fred Vivian, dean Of the College OF
Agriculture Of Ohio State University,
before whom were placed these three
questions Of public policy as related
to the agrarians:
rs the farmer the real profteer be.
hind the high cost of food stuffs?
Has the Government, in substituting
farmers. by teaching scientific methods
to increase production, really benefit
ed the consumer?
Has this vast expense, Federal and
state, cheapened prices to the public?"
For example, Dean Vivian says II
the farmer were to count his costs,
materials, depreciation Of property"
labor, insurance and the like, the same
way a manufacturing establishment
does the cost of wheat this year would
be $2.57 bushel instead of 1926, the
government figure.
Little Profit Counted.
Carried to it's conclusion this must
mean that the farmer lost money, he
says, although more than half of the
100000 Ohio automobiles that spin
around the highways are owned by
the IdTuleTs, IL mas Deen pOlulcu Out
in comment. Vivian counters his state
ment against attack by saying that the
farmer counts his labor and that of
his family at a low figure.
Inasmuch as Vivian counts little
profit in his calculations, the statement
is likely to be challenged, it Is said
here, since the farmer Is his own EN-.
ployer. What is contemplated evident
ly Is that the farmer does not re-
munerate~ himself as well as the city
worker, upon whose Drawn and brain
equal demands are made.
II the scientific teaching Of agricul-
ture we're not continued, Vivian asks,
what would become of the country in
ten years If the population increased
at its present rate? He asserts that
the present high cost of bread only to
a small extent is due to 1926 wheat,
but is largely the result of high ex-
penses in handling, milling, baking and
distributing
Vivian asserts that the consumer has
the benefit Of improved farm methods.
He adds that in districts Of poorest
farms and poorest farmers it is al
most impossible to arouse interest for
meetings.

Cat Came Back; Had To
Walk 80 Miles to Do 1t

Here is tale of cat which walked
ninety-nine miles to return to his
home. 1t is related by Irwin S. Yarnel
of 104 Rector street, Perth Amboy.
Yarnel said he took the cat in a
satchel to Phoenixville, Pa, ninety
miles from Perth Amboy. When he
got to his summer home there he
he found there was no food for the
cat. The latter disappeared, and
showed up the other night at Yarners
Perth Amboy home. Its feet were
sore.
Yarnel said he ought to be called a
"homing cat"
II don't expect any one to believe
this, but it's true" said he.

(The London Mail.)

The day of the signature Of peace.
Versailles celebrated victory by one of
those beautiful fetes de mutt. which in
days of old consecrated all solemn or
merry hours Of French history.
The first of these festivities, the
most renowned, carried away to the
most distant parts of the world the
name still unknown Of Versailles
which had just swung to life and fame
through the powerful will Of the royal
magician.
1t took place in 1864 and was called
1.-THE Pleasures of the Enchanted ISL
and" Louis XIV and his friends cos
tuned as knights Of the days of old
represented the feats Of the heroes
from Ariosto.
The young king, then at the height
Of his stately beauty, was riding a
matchless horse whose fire colored
harness was glittering with gold. sill
yer and precious stones. He wore a
respondent scarlet plumed helmet
and his commanding figure and ample
gestures were worthy of his rank; his
noble face glowed with pride and
love.
For the secret aim of these festivi-
ties was to capture the heart of the
tender Mile. de la Valliere, who touch
ing in her delicate grace, bashfully
concealing herself among the court
ladies, knew not whether to rejoice or
tremble at this wonderful and terrible
happiness.
AgIow For Days.
For nine nights the park was aglow
with numberless lights and and on the
last, the festival ended by ballet Dor
rowed from mythology. From a rock
in the middle of a piece of water sud
denly sprang up a beautiful palace,
which was attacked by groups of
splendidly attired dancers, and finally
disappeared among the gold flare and
leaping flames of fireworks.
1T seemed" writes an author Of
that time, "as if heaven, earth and wa
ter were on fire. The height and num-
recently took up the O'Bannon re-
which rolled along the edge Of the
lake, those which lit up the water and
leaped out of It, formed a show the
cannot be equalled'
These festivities placed Louis le
Grand high in the European sky, Of
which he was to be so long the re-
! splendent sun, and they mark the
climax of power and brilliancy of the
French monarchy. The same reign
saw its tragic decline. the slow crum-
bling of the proud edifice built on
tyranny and eXaction.
Yet a century later Versailles. sad
dened. by many years of mourning and
defeat. called back its brightest Sc
auctions to welcome the young victim
who was to pay so heavily for the
errors Of bygone kings.
Marie AntoInette, Too.
Marie Antoinette had just arrived
from the lonely court of Austria to
marry the cold, gloomy, Inflated Daup-
hin-but who or what could pail on
her light-hearted merriness? A slen-
der girl of fifteen. with nimble, airy
steps eyes now shy, now glowing with
fun under her high powdered hair, her
small round mouth, pouting so wildly
red in her fresh young face. she trip
ped. danced, floated along the fairy
park pausing at times to listen to the
clamor of love which score of years
would turn into wells of hatred
Two hundred thousand people had
swarmed on the terrace. At the end
Of the Grand Canal, its lines sketched

BY AUTO; IS DEAD
ID of the bridge,

Archibald Mckee, 81 years old, an
Inmate of the Wayne county infirmary,
died Monday as a result of injuries
sustained when he was struck by an
automobile late Sunday evening, on
the National road, between the infirm-
airy and Centerville. The automobile

nersville.
According to the report made by
the coroner Mckee was walking
along the road when two machines
tried to pass each other with their
headlights glazing, and the driver of
one machine was unable to see the
other.
Others persons who witnessed the
accident. claimed that Gettinger was
Eot driving fast, but that it was i'm
possible to see Mckee on the road,
owing to the bright lights.

Grocers Refuse to Buy
Indiana Watermelons

COLUMBUS, Ind, Aug. 25.-The
watermelon situation IN Columbus now
is rather peculiar not to say distress
ing to the Bartholomew county grow
erS.
Growers are bringing fine melons
here and offering them to grocers at
s to 10 cents each, but the grocers are
overstocked with high-priced southern
melons. the farmers say. and will not
buy the homegrown ones. Southern
melons retail here at from 60 cents to
SIS cents.
The farmers are selling to the con-
sumner for whatever they can get. John
Houk, of near Columbus, brought a
load of melons here this week and Of
fered them to grocers at 10 cents each.
He could not sell them and finally took
them to Greensburg, where grocers
bought them at Is cents each.

next COURSE OF
Mr.. WILSON IS
STILL PUZZLE
Three Moves Are Considered
Probable May Reopen Ne
gotiations With Germany.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-How far
President Wilson may go in his fight
for unqualified acceptance of the peace
treaty is a subject of increasing spec
ulation in official circles
With the group of reservation sup
porters apparently determined to write
their qualifications of the league OF
nations covenant in the ratication
itself, and with Republican leaders
predicting that the Senate will amend
outright the Shantung provision and
perhaps other sections of the treaty,
an interesting set of possibilities pre-
sent themselves.
There has veen no authoritative ex-
preston of the Presidents probable
course should the treaty be returned
to him with textual amendments or
reservations written into the ratifca-
ton.
He told the Foreign Relations COM
mittee Tuesday he would consider
either method of qualification as tanta-
mount to reopening the negotiations
with Germany.
Wilson's Move, Senators Say
Should such amendments or reserva-
lions be inserted. therefore-an event.
tuality, which Democratic Senators
deny is likely, but which the Repub-
licans say is certain-the next move
would be up to the President.
What he would do is a question on
which those who have talked with him
disagree, but a discussion of what he
would be authorized to do under the
law and precedents reveals general
agreement that number of Courses
would be open.
Summed up, these discussions con-
template that he might take up the
question of changes in the treaty by
diplomatic correspondence; return to
Paris and ask that the peace confer
ence be re-assembled for negotiations
of a new treaty; send new delegation
to reopen negotiations; or pocket the
treaty and refuse to proceed further
unless the Senate. receded from it's
position.
