Disabled Yanks

WASHINGTON, June 13.-Every
discharged soldier whose service has
caused physical deterioration or in
jury sufficient to prevent his enter
ing at once gainful occupation will
receive compensation from the Bu-
reau of War Rist Insurance, provided
he Immediately enters a claim and
substantiates it, according to state
ment issued by the bureau today.
Chief Health Officer Robinson, of
Chicago, is credited with having said
that there are at least thousand dis
charged service men afflicted with
tuberculosis in Chicago caused by the
loss of sleep, unnatural physical ac-
tivities of army routine, and unnec-
essary exposure and hardships.
Under the law the bureau is charg-
ed with providing compensation and
free medical attention to all service
men until they are restored to ply
sical fitness. Every possible effort is
being made by the bureau to bring to
the attention of the men their rights

Shortage of Coal
In Fall Predicted

WASHINGTON, June IA "se-
we're shortage" of coal and coal cars
is predicted by officials of the Penn
sylvania Railroad in a circular issued
to local coal companies. This short
age, it is said, will be felt keenly in
the coming fall and winter months.
The circular, which was sent out
by the general office Of the railway
company to all agents, is as follows:
eve are informed that from pres
ent indications there will be a severe
shortage of coal cars and coal during
the coming fan and winter, and in or
der to relieve the situation as much
as possible you will please get in
touch with all coal dealers in your
territory and give them these facts
and urge the INTO place their orders
for early delivery,
at is evident that many people
have withheld their orders, expecting
the price of coal to be cheaper later
in the season, but this is wrong i'm
preston, as the indication are that
coal will be much higher than here
tofore."

said, adding, however, that the ter
minus of the fight in the United
States would not be definitely deter
mined for day or two. Information
hi3herto has been that the bailosn
would be housed at Atlantic City.
Assisting Britichers IN preparing
for the reception of the dirigible in
this country will be staff of Amerl-
can aviation officers and mechanics,
Lieut.. Col. Lucas said. The associa-

as both he and Major Fuller had been
attached to the British mission in this
country during the war.
The British officers, members OF
the royal air force, brought rs pieces
of baggage containing spare parts fol-
the R-34. The materials were ad'

Jealous, He Kills
Girl and Himself

RICHMOND, Va, June 13.-Four-
teen-year-old Ethel Shifflet, of Grot-
toes, today lies dead with bullet
throug hher heart, and her sister
Miss Maggie Shifflett, aged %, who
vainly sought to save her life, is in
the hospital with one wound in her
body and another in her hand, as a
result of the frenzied, unrequitted
love of Edgar L. Young, aged 26,
who is dead with bullet fired
with bullet fired through his own
head after he had slain the object of
his love and wounded her sister.
Young had entered the girls room
while both were asleep.
1t was her devotion to the younger
sister which made Maggie Shifflett
struggle with the assailant, and threw
herself in front of the younger girl
when her resistance proved futile in
preventing Young from firing the
gun. Though she held her hand over
the muzzle to shield her sister,
Young still persisted in his determina-
ton to kill the girl, and fired the shot
which end ID her life through the hand
of her sister. Finding her hand in
etfectual in diverting the bullets, Miss
Shifflett threw her body across that
of her sister, and received another
bullet which was intended for the
younger girl.
Young then turned the revolver on
himself, sending a bullet through his
brain. Both bullets that killed the
girl and him wently entirely through
their bodies. .
Young left letter in his trunk to
his mother. 1t follows: ... .
Dear Mother: am in love with
little girl here. She talked mean
to me, and | cannot stand it any
longer. You will have to make the
best Of it you can. I am going to
end her life and mine. EDGAR" :"

Enbargoes Check
U. S. Auto Exports

WASHINGTON, June 13.-(Unit-
ed Press. "A tremendous automo-
bile and truck shortage is fast de-
veloping in Europe because of en-
bargoes on motor vehicles, now in
force in England, France and Italy,
says Secretary C. c. Hanch, of the
National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce.
Hanch, who has just returned from
a four months investigation tour of
Europe, declared that European mar
kets could "use up every American
car and truck now available over do
mestic requirements" if the embar-
goes were lifted.
So strong is the demand there, he
said, that secondhand cars tare SELL
ing at twice the figures paid for them
when new a few years ago.
importers of American cars
abroad" Hanch stated, "have made
strong pleas for raising of the en-
bargoes now that the war is over.
But the only country to act is Great
Britain, who has permitted importa-
ton Of one-fourth Of that imported
in 1913. France and Italy have taken
no action. 1t is worth noting that
there is only one car for every 400
people in France, one for every 225
in Great Britain, while there is one
for every 18 in this country"
Hanch declared that the automo-
bile industry has greatly expanded
in Europe, because of the many fac
tories which have sprung up during
the war. He said, however, that the
plants will never be able to compete
with the American product, because
they are not designed nor are the
workers trained for producing in
mass production" And although
these factories have much increased
the supply of cars and trucks abroad,
they are far from enough.
Exports of American motor car
manufacturers are at the rate of
about $125, 900 a year, which is
about ten percent of their total bust
ness, and with the lifting of embar-
goes this amount will snow a material
increase, said Hanch.

Forced to Quit Wife,
Prince Tries Suicide

PARIS, June 13.-Crown Prince
Charles of Roumania, is suffering
from a bullet wound in the lef, self
inflicted, according to news reaching
Paris. The wound is not serious,
The crown princes act, which has
caused a sensation in Bucharest, is
said to have been prompted by the
kings insistence that the prince
make six months trip to Japan, to
forget the girl he married year ago.
He was forced by his royal parents
to obtain a divorce rlom her because
she was neither titled nor wealthy,
although daughter of retired army
major.
The queen has done her utmost to
divert Prince Charles mind from
Ceciie by trying to interest him &C.
lively in her charitable works, but
Charles is still deeply attached to his
former wife and has frequently been
seen in her company. She lives in
Bucharest and recently gave birth
to a child. i
This event started gossip about the
succession to the throne, the heir to
which some say is Prince Nicholas
who is studying in England, the
crown prince having, according to
report, renounced his succession.

There's a terrific feud on in con-
gress-one of those Inside" things
the general public doesn't usually get
hint of. Dignifed senators and not
so dignifed house members are
squabbling like a lot Of fiat dwellers
over who shall have the choicest
rooms in the office buildings.
One new Senator, a former COVER
nor of his state, complained bitter
ly because he got only one room
away off in corner while a nobody
who had never been anything before
he got into the senate had three big
airy rooms, including one with a
steel door, warranted to keep the rat

Many Britoiis For
Irish Home Rule

LONDON, June 14.-The age-long
question of "What are we going to
do about Ireland" is slowly coming
to the fore again, as seen in newspa
per comment and speeches.
During the war Parliament enact
ed law providing home rule for Ire
land, but it was withheld when Ulster
threatened revolution. 1t was de-
cided to apply it after peace was
signed.
The Northcliff opposition to Lloyd
George is already beginning to agi-
tate the subject. Without taking any
definite line Of policy, the Times for
week shas been publishing letters
from prominent men, which contain
divers suggestions as to how the ques-
ton can best be solved. The major
ity of the writer's favor giving Ire
land home rule in some form. OF
this majority, most favor home rule
for all Ireland. Others would COM
promise by splitting Ireland into two
sections, giving Ulster local home
rule government, which would be re-
sponsible to an Irish national parlia-
ment. Another suggestion is that
Ireland be cut up into three states
each state having its own legislature
responsible to the national legislative
body, as is the case of the United
States. The three states would be
known as South Ireland, North Ire
land, and Central Ireland.
In the meantime Sim Feiners con
tinue to grow in strength. At pres
ent they appear to be purposely re
framing fro mviolence, while the!
quietly circulate their propaganda 10
cally throughout Ireland, with thu
intention of electing Sim Fein can
ddate to municipal offices at thu
coming election. Hold of these of
fees, which would include loca
judges, by Sim Feiners, would b.
very important, because then SIM
Fein would be in a position to def,
the British government ViolatOre o
British laws would be brought tefor
Sim Fein magistrates who W0r'd re
fuse to recognize laws other thai
their own and the culprit would e
free. 1t would place the British gov
ernment in a helpless position to en-
force laws and collect taxes. TIL
Sim Fein parliament could also en-
act its laws and rely on their enforce
ment by the local Sim Fein govern
ment.
The British government has an al
ternative to this, the placing of Ire
. land under martial law, but this
desired to be avoided, because of tn
! effect it might have throughout tn
; world
Prospects of home rule being ap
piled to Ireland have frightened
The attitude of Sir Edward Carson
"The De Valera" of Ulster, appear
to have undergone considerable mod
ifcation, and it is believed now tina
Sir Edward could be induced to az
cept home rule for Ireland, whic
would also provide local home rul
K for the north of Ireland.

Tariffs a
Legislative Problem


Republican Publicity association,
through its president, Hon. Jonathan
Bourne, Jr., today gave out the fol-
lowing statement from its Washing
ton headquarters:
"a member Of the United States
tariff commission advocates a law
which will authorize the president
to levy by proclamation additional
duties on goods which are being sys-
tematically dumped into the United
States, or to prohibit their importa-
ton in case he has reason TO believe
that the result will be to injure, de-
stroy or prevent the establishment
of an American industry
"Thcre you have one more illus
tration of the grasping ambition of
bureaucracy. More lCwer is the lin
itless desire. Leave it to me- is
bureaucracy's motto. Personal gov
ernment is the ideal. Government
by law is not even last resort.
"Just think of the possibilities of
broad creation of discretion such
as that proposed! Certain commodi-
ties are shipped in large quantities
into the country. Persons interested
as manufacturers of the same COM
modities ask for g proclamation
against the importations. The i'm
porters oppose the issuance of a ban,
Spectators lay in supply of the
goods imported at low prices and sud-
denly the country is taken by sur
prise by issuance OF prohibition or
der that shuts out further importa-
4tions. increases the value of goods
already brought in, makes fortunes
for those who bought up the supply
and starts rumors as to some one
having an advance tip as to the best
time to buy, in what quantities, what
commodities, and at what prices.
"People who remember the rumors
of fortunes made in the stock market
a few years ago by men who got an
early tip on a presidential note, will
see the danger of repetition of in
cidents that tend to shake confidence
in government. Creating opportuni,
ties for that sort of thing is hardly
The part of wisdom.
"The proper policy for America i;
to regard importations of articles that
can be produced here as unfair tC
American producers. We should pre-
vent such unfair competition by i'm
posing an import duty at least equa
to the difference in cost of produc
ton here and in the country of low
est cost of production, provided the
latter country sells to us a quantit!
sufficient to be menace to our home
industry. But the rate of duty, the
time and manner of its establishment
should be fixed by law, so that ever!
person interested may have equa
knowledge of the proposed action ant
the time when it is to become effect
i've. The rights of importers and pro
ducers should be fixed by law and no
be subject to the varying discretion
of president, especially one wht
believes in the removal of all eco
nomic BARRIERS
"This discussion has dealt with tn
subject wholly from the standpoint o
governmental policy. AS a matter o
constitutional law it is doubtful a
to whether any pretext could be de
vised that would sustain even tech
nically a delegation of power to tn
president to fix import duties"
