NEW ARMY BILL IS SWAN SONG
 OF THE CHIEFS
Guard Asso. Says It Can't Go With League of
 Nations.
WOULD SEIZE YOUTH
 FROM THEIR HOMES
Denounced As Unnecessary Peace Measures by For
 ner State Soldiers.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The Capitol has not yet recovered from the shock of the wholly unexpected attack upon the Chamberlain-Kahn conscription bill made by the National Guard As sociation. Every member of the House and Senate Military Affairs Committees received last week tele- gram, stating explicitly that the men who fought at Chateau Thierry and the Argonne, are in no mood to trif1e with permanent peace time training and conscription in America. That telegram, which was only partially carried by the press associations. de- serves rehearsal in full.
 -Four million veterans of the great war are a sufficient nucleus for the organization of any army which may be required for some time to come.
 The American people will not tof- crate the ruthless abandonment of a policy which created great civil army which answered the call, never fiinched in face of the severest fire, and whose record of achievement stands as a guarantee of It's sbility to handle any situation which may confront it.
 The Chamber1ain-Kahn bill aboI- ishes the citizen soldiery of the Unit ed States which public sentiment de- mands shall be the backbone of it's military strength; and, at time when the people are struggling under the burden of excessive taxation, cre- ates at enormous expense, the ma chinery for the estab1shm ent in America of that detestable Prussian system which is abhorrent to the American people.
 The League of Nations and the
  hand in hand
 a snare and a delusion or there is no necessity for the passage of the Chamberlain-K Kahn bill
 'The Chamb berlain-Kahn bill is the swan song of the General Staff. Fall ing utterly in it's efforts to secure necessary recruits for the regular army it now attempts Tn time of peace under the guise of universal service bill to resort to conscription, and to siege from their homes the youth of America for service in the regular army in the Philippines, in Hawaii, : in Porto Rico, in the Canal Zone and even in Russia should the military dictator created by the provisions If this vicious bill determine that the emergency demanded it.
 "The Chamberlain-Kahn Dill de- stroys and places a stigma upon the citizen aoldiery which bore the brunt of fighting as shock troops. and creates a centralized military oI1gar- chy with dangerous potentialities for political abuse, and the destruction of the freedom which is vital to the existence of the country.
 Therefore the National Guard Association of the United States, +Ir0 ,CI, itco oE Joex islative committees in conference as- sembled, representing that great body of citizen soldiers whose record of efficiency entities it to the fullest measure of support, opposes the pass age of the Chamb mberlain-Kahn BilI.''

AMERICANS AND GREAT BRITAIN
 ARE CENSURED
Archduke Gets Note De. manding Hungarian -Ru-
 malian Dual Monarchy.

Vienna, Tuesday, Aug. 12-CBy A. and America, demanding that Hun gary be united with Rumania under thes sovereignty of King Ferdinand and threatening to strip Hungary if the Rumanian army is forced to withdraw from that country, has been presented to Archduke Joseph, head of the Hungarian government oy the auth orized Rumanian repre- sentative at Budapest, according to reports received here.
 The report follows:
 There are 250,O00 workmen in Budapest who are only awaiting for the Rumanians to leave Hungary to i1nme ediately take the situation into their own hands, which means the return of Bolshevism. The Hungar- ian government cannot depend upon the Entente powers for assistance for those powers have withdrawn all their troops from Russia, and Amer ica is unwilling to send a single sol dier. We do not trust the Entente, which wants only to humiliate us. We are willing to withdraw our troops, if necessary, starting tomor- row morning, but we will carry off everything and strip the country just as Field Marshal Mackensen did Ru- mania.
 The only grudge the Entente has against us is that we refuse to have English and American capital dom mate Rumania. Hungary must fol- low Rumania's policy in not accept ing English and American capital. Whatever would remain after the Rumanians retreat would be taken by the Entente anyway. The Eentente idea is to have Rumania and Hun gary fight and destroy each other, the Entente thereby getting all. There is only one policy for Hungary to pursue, that is a junction between Hungary and Rumania, ruled by the Rumanian king. We do not care what the Entente or Premier Glenn enceau of France wants to do or is doing. We will follow our own pol icy.
 We expect an answer from Arch duke Joseph, head of the govern ment, by 8 o'clock tonight. If ar answer is not received by that time, we shall inform Bucharest which will decide what action should be taken"

 FOR RECOGNITION

New York, Aug. 1l-Employes of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com pany today won their demand for recognition of their union when Federal Judge Mayer, who appointed Lindley M. Garrison receiver for the company announced that it had been established to the satisfaction of himself and Public Service Commis- sioner Nixon that more than 50 per cent of the eligible employees were members of the Amalgamated Asso- citation of Street & Electric Railway Employes when the strike was called last week.
 Judge Mayer made his announce ment in a letter which he sent to Frederick P. Royce, general manager for the receiver. MT. Garrison is absent from the city on q vacation.
 In the terms of the arbitration agreement under which the strikers agreed to return to work, MT. Garri- son stipulated that recognition of the union should depend on proof that 50 per cent. of the eligible men were members of it. Judge Mayer direct ed that the grievances of the men be now taken up by officials of the company and a committee represent ing the union.

 Albert Williams of hometown missed two valuable COWS last Thursday morning and strange tracks of an auto truck showing at the road barway of the field where the herd was kept led him to at first suspect that thieves had made off with the missing animals by means of truck transportation. The cows showed up the next day, how ever, having only strayed from their usual haunts.

ITALIAN PAPER
DENOUNCES THE
ALLIED ACTION
Declares Warnings Should
Not Be Addressed to
Italy.

Rome, Tuesday, Oct. 7.-Newspa-
pers here comment on warnings to
Italy from America and England rel
ative to the situation at Fiume. The
Tribuna prints an article stigmatizing
the warnings and saying:
Even illuminated Germany never
showed less regard for her enemies
than England shows today for her
ally, Italy"
The newspaper adds that the Amer
lean and British warnings should not
be addressed to Italy, but to Captain
Gabrielle d'Annunzio, "as Fiume is not
Italy; in fact Fiume is fighting against
the italian government, which. to-
gether with the other allies, is unable
to solve the Adriatic problem after
the disavowa1 Of the pact Of London -
Italy had treaties with the allies,
who waged war against Germany" !"
the newspaper adds. when the Ital-
ian question came before the peace
conference President Wilson refused
Italian interests, but recognized other
secret treaties, especially the one CIV
ing Shantung to Japan.
NATURALLY this attitude caused q
reaction and the impulsive action of
Captain d 'Annunzio was sequel. This
Italy deplored. The Ftume question te
grave one for Italy, for the peace
conference. and for the allies, but the
allies must bear their own part Of the
responsibility. as their neglect to have
the treaty fulfilled was the original
cause Of the incident" !.
The Tribuna says the warnings
which have. been received are "indi-
rect instigations to civil war;
The Osservatore Romano, organ Of
the Vatican, says the American and
British warnings have all the ap-
pearance Of q threat and therefore
,wounding to the dignity Of this ma
tion." 8.
There is q probable understanding
between Captain d,Annunxio and Gem
eral Badoglio. deputy chief Of stan.
according to the Corriere d1talia,
which says General Badoglio may
take possession Of Fiume out OF re-
jspect for the peace conferences. '.but
does not intend to accept definite
solution Of the Adriatic problem In
discord with Italian interests and

Body Found.

about 100 feet from north end of the

The body was closely guarded until
the arrival of the coroner shortly be-

Miss Werner's body was identified
by her cousin and uncle with whom

Reports that Miss Werner had with
