BARRICADE is
KNOCKED OVER
Hoodlums Are Not Content With
This and Steal Rcd Lanterns
From the Barriers,
Inn

Lawless drivers are breaking down
barricades on city street improve
ments, until Commissioner Hickey
has threatened to stop the work il
the practice Of breaking the bars and
stealing lanterns from them con-
tinues. There is barricade estab-
lished on the Main street extension.
This road is being prepared for oil
ing, and in order to make a good road
out Of it, the workmen have had 1t
blocked off. Last night someone ran
into the barricade, knocked 1t to
pieces and stole the lanterns warning
drivers OF the presence of the bar
rier.
"Hoodlums of some sort" is the
way Commissioner Hickey brands
the perpetrators Of the act. He is
threatening to stop the work if this
practice is not discontinued. Mr..
Hickey reports that number of
street barricades have been de-
stroyed this season.

ond week in September, according to
the tentative plans.
There was some informal discus.
sion at the meeting this morning con
corning the best time for holding the

in favor of having it Saturday, as
Saturday afternoons are half holi-
days and all OF the travelling men
will be in. However, this matter Of
fixing the date for the election has
been left entirely to the discretion OF
the council.
Ward chairmen report that It is
simply a question of seeing the peo-
pie to get the names on their lists.
There seems to be nothing but favor
able sentiment expressed, except
from one or two sources. The gen.
eral sentiment, the canvassers re-
port, Is very favorable to the move.

tons by tomorrow afternoon, when

PEACE BASIS Of
NAVY IS PROBLEM
Daniels and Aides Comforting
on Plan for Return to
Old Idea. :

WASHINGTON, May 24.-ways and
means for getting the navy and marine
corps strength down to a peace basis
have been the subject Of several con
ferences between Secretary Daniels and
his bureau chiefs during the past few
lays. The problem is regarded as one
OF the knottiest post war puzzles now
confronting the department. and al
though great progress has been made in
demobilizing the navy proper since the
armistice was signed thousands of Of
ficers and enlisted men still must be
released before normal strength is
reached. 1t is believed by officers con-
cerned, however, that at the present
rate of demobilization the numerical
the $4,000 mark set by the secretary
at the end of the fiscal year, July /.
On May ! there were 2S5. 900 officers
and enlisted snen in the service, a re-
duetion since Nov. II of 245, 900. The
figure set for the reduced strength OF
the navy In the senate naval deficiency
bill Of the last congress was $50, 900 and
In the house bill the number was placed
at 225 900. Based on a total strength of
fronted with the necessity for reducing
the officer personnel from more than
10000 now on duty to less than 10, 900
by July l.
The question Of adjusting the rank Of
officers of the regular navy on the
basis Of the peace time strength is an
other, puzzle. To meet the rapid in
crease in the naval establishment dur
ing the war practically all Of the regu-
on one or more grades. Getting the
navy back to a peace-time basis means
the majority of these officers must be
returned to their former rank.

NO BANKER NATION
Financier Says That
Position as Creditor Has
Its Perils.

WASHINGTON, May "a. (spl)-John
j. Arnold, vice-president Of the First
National bank of Chicago, on the So
hcitation OF the division OF public works
and construction development, informa-
ton and education service Of the United
States department Of labor, has made
a statement on Imitation and Prices"
IN which he says4t is futile for indus
Wy TO wait for prewar commodity
prices. Mr.. Arnold's statement is being
circulated by the information and edu-
cation service.
The Chicago banker dissents from the
popuiar opinion that the United States
mas become the wsrld's banker" and
points out that we are a creditor ma
.ioh only ana as such our responsible
Ties are heavy ones, not without dan
gerous possibilities,
The situation which confronts ZIG ,a
serious says Mr.. Arnold, land IL NAV
be necessary that our government no,
cept from the European government
further government bonds, or promises
70 pay, for the interest which will be-
u from year to year.
1t Is desirable from every viewnoint
that government financing should be-
discontinued at the earliest possIble
moment. Private enterprise should be
stimulated by private financing, which
VIII most quickly bring about deflation,
, The high cost Of commodities and
labor, OF course, Is partly due to The
increased demand for raw materials and
tne ourtailment Of production for peace
purposes.

CAPTIVE STORY
Soldiers Tale About Being
Held on Sub as Captive
Is Unshaken.

AVER. Mass, May 24.--A class in

that he vas a prisoner on a German
submarine and at a submarine base In
South America from May "a to <Oct. Is,
1918. He is charged with being absent
without leave.
Mace was cross-examined for five
hours and did not once digress from the
account he gave Of his experiences. The
soldier testified that while he was a
prisoner the Germans attempted to
him disclose plans for a new type
OF airplane which he had invented He
said that before being indicted into
from New York state he was
employed at the aviation field at Nine
ola, /. l., where he met a man named
Rudolph Gregan or Greghorn.
Greghorn, according to Nace, knew
that he was working on a new airplane.
HE said Greghorn followed him to Camp
Devens, and that one evening when
they met Greghorn struck him over the
head and abducted him In an automo-
bile. Mace said he was put to sIeen
with a drug and did not wake up until
he was on board a submarine; that he
was confined for five months at the
base on the South American coast; was
then placed aboard a submarine. and
