SEE PLAN TO ABOLISH
CORPS OF YEOMEN (F)
Rumors Current That House Com
mittee will Provide for Their
Discharge by July 1.

Rumors are current in naval cir
cles that the House naval committee
ccntemplates the early adjustment
of the Corps of Yeomen CD composed
of about 5000 female reservists.
The members of the committee it
is said. object to the so-called fem
imitation of the naval personnel. and
will provide for their discharge by
July 1 next.
There are about $500 of these re-
servists on duty in the Navy Depart
ment. 1t has been argued generally
that it costs the government more to
maintain them in office than it would
to employ civil employees for the same
service. That is declared to be due
to the fact that the reservists. in ad-
dition to their pay and rations. have
family allotments under the war risk
act. allowances for medical attention
medicines. uniforms and other ex.
penses not allowed civil service en-
ployes. The "goblets" have many
friends in Congress and 1t is expected
that any proposition against their in.
terest will be resisted.

OF MANY GERMAN DYES
America Formerly Dependent Upon
Huns for 40 Per Cent of Manu-
featured Chemicals.

America will never again depend
upon Germany for a large proportion
of manufactured chemicals. A census
of chemical imports issued today by
the bureau Of foreign and domestic
commerce of the Department of Com
merce explains in detail how more
than 40 per cent of the manufactured
chemicals used in this country prior
to 1914 came from Germany and were
not obtainable here because they were
patented or because the secret OF their
successful manufacture was not
known in other countries.
Are Now Available.
A. Mitchell Palmer, who, during the
war, held the post Of custodian OF
enemy property, has held many OF
these German manufacturing secrets
and they are now available from the
chemical foundation, recently organ
lied under his department. American
chemical manufacturing firms may
now obtain many of these long-want-
ed secrets by applying to the chemical
foundation.
It is shown in the census that nearly
forty-five million dollars worth of man
ufactured chemicals were imported into
this country in 1914, not counting dyes.
These German chemical products in
cluded a great many that could not be
obtained from other countries. Some OF
them. especially the medicinal prepare
tons, were OF prime importance.
Reasons for Compiling Report.
A gre4t obstacle in the way Of get
ting the manufacture Of these articles
started in the United States has been
the fact that no one knew just how
much Of market there was for them.
and it was to supply this information
that the department undertook the COM
pilation of the report.
In addition to being the chief source
of imports of dyes and other coal-tar
products, acids, fertilizers and many
other chemicals, Germany normally sup
piled this country with large quantities
of allied products. such asvpaints, pig
ments and varnishes.

MoAdoo Wants Show Down.

New York, Nov. pa showdown
on profits made by bituminous oper-
ators is needed for the American peo-
pie to form a just opinion on the coal
situation, William G.. McAdoo, former
secretary of the treasury, declGred
today.
Mr., McAdoos statement was made
after he had been reading a dispatch
from Washington giving the sub
stance of an open telegram addressed
to him by the operators, criticiaing
him for injecting" himself into the
wage controversy. Mr. McAdoo had
not received the telegram itself.
THE question is whether or not the
coal operators are making excessive
profits, said the statement. Their
income tax returns filed under oath
will give an understanding of the
truth and facts If they are making
excessive profits, as they were clear
ly making in 1917, then any increase
of wages may be made to the Miners
should not be passed on to the pub
lie in the form of increased prices for
bituminous coal A showdown will
enable the American people TO focn
a just opinion"

STATE CONvICTS
ORDER REPORT
IN COUNTY SOON
Road Gang Assured for Grady; Plan
of Commissioners to Keep Them
AS Long AS Possible; Bust
ness Men "Forn Move.

That state convlcts will be at work
on the roads of Grady county before
the first of the year, was evidenced
this morning by a telegram received
from j. w. Kayser, member of the
state beard of affairs, in which it was
stated THAT the convict gang of 80
men has been ordered to report at
Chickasha on December II.
This action followed formal re.
quest forwarded to The state board
of affairs by the Grady county com
missioners in which it was asked
that Grldy county be furnished a
gang of the convicts for work ON the
roads. The board had assurance that
the conviots were available for work
in this county but there was some
doubt as to when they would be able
to report in Ciickasha.
Plans of the commissioners are to
keep these conyicts here as long as
pcJgib,e. These plans have the
hearty support of Chickasha busi-
ness men and it is expected that
some good roads in Grady will re-
suit from the proposition.
By the terms ON which the CON
yicts are "farmed" out to the coun-
.ies by the state, the county in which
the men are working pays the diff,
ference in cost of upkeep of the con
yicts, between whlt the county
spends on them for provisions and
what it costs the state to keep
like number of men at the peniten
tiary. The county also pays the sal
aries of two guards, steward and
a superintendent
Tais county has the assurance that
aho read gang coming here on re
cember II is rated as the best gang
of road builders in the state
