British War Veterans Haven't
Asked Him to Reception at

MAY GO IF HE DESIRES

If Mayor Smith wants to add the
Prince Of Wales to the list Of celebrities

Philadelphia Station tomorrow morn
ing without an invitation from the Brit
ish war veterans here.
This is the attitude today of the Brit
ish Great War Veterans of America

ton.
Recalling the sharp issue raised by
members of the American Legion with
Mayor Smith when Cardinal Mercier
visited here. Sergeant Howard said the
Mayor was asked to try TO arrange for
a brief stopover by the British heir to
the throne.
"Mr. Smith told us positively that
it could not be arranged the sergeant
declared. "But we were not satisfied
with that and wrote directly TO a mem
ber of the princes suite.
IT sent a letter to Mayor Smith. en-
closing a copy of the letter we wrote
to the member Of the princes party.
We have not heard anything further
from the Mayor.
"If Mr.. Smith and Governor Sproul
want to greet his royal highncss they
won't have any trouble getting past
the police lines at the station.
"But il the Mayor and the Governor
do come out it will mean formal pres
entations must be made and that will
delay the prince,

at attention and then board his car
again. 1t shouldn't take more than
three minutes.

FRANCE WON'T ACCEPT
CHANGES nv TREATY

Paris. Nov, 17.-CBy A. P.)--The
ncws Of the adoption by the United
States Senate Of ten reservations to the
treaty was received with great interest
in Peace Conference circles. The point
most discussed is whether the Senate
will insist upon the reservations being
formally approved by the other gov
ernments. The Indications are that the
French Government is not prepared to
give its formal approval.
There likewise is much speculation as
to how far the American reservations
might possible affect the reservations
some of the minor powers, such as
China, Rumania and Jugo Slavia de-
sire to make.
China has never signed the German
peace treaty. The Chinese delegates
offered to sign it subject to a reserva
tion on the question of Shantung, but
were not permitted to do so. Rumania
and Jugo Slavia did not sign the Aus
trian peace treaty, taking exception to
the clause regarding the protection of
racial minorities

GIVE her perfume for Christmas
~ The first perfumes known to exist
were obtained by the combustion of
aromatic woods and gums. Their Or
iginal use was in sacrifices, to counter
act the offensive odors of burning flesh.
Hence, the Latin per and fumare,
meaning Through smoke.
However. little did the heather think
in that day that perfumes would in
years to come bespeak the personality,

PROSPECTS BRIGHTER
IN COAL PRODUCTION
SAY M'ALESTER MEN

McALESTER, Okla, Feb. 90
Contrary to all precedents in the
business world-that of investing
money in a proposition for which
there is neither present or imme-
diate future demands taking
place in the McAlester coal fields at
this time. An over-stocked market,
warm winter and kindred ills for the
coal men is not freezing certain of
the operators in this field as is evil
denced by the moves made here in
the past few days. Money is literally
being poured into the coal proper
ties around McAlester. This in
cludes both new operations and the
spending of money to rejuvenate old
mines that could neither stand the
pressure brought through lack Of
available cash to operate, and those
which went into bankruptcy for a
similar reason. AS a result, when
the needs of the country, brought
through lack of available cash to
operate, and those which went into
bankruptcy for similar reason. AS
a result, when the needs of the coun-
try, brought about by new indus
tries coming into Oklahoma, and
weather conditions, arise the Meal
ester field will be able to maintain
a production that will push past rec
ords into the discard.
Everyone of these moves made by
these operators have been made pos

WANTS BROAD POWERS
REVIEW ARMY TRIALS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Broad-
er authority for the war department
to set aside or modify judgment OF
military court martial was urged
today by Acting Judge Advocate
General Ansell before the senate
military committee. Telling of fla
grant cases of excessive punishment
ordered in court martial proceed
ings in which the department was
helpless to interferers, General An
sell endorsed the bill of Senator
Chamberlain Of Oregon, providing
for broad powers of review.
Sentence Of several noncommis-
stoned officers of a Texas regular
regiment to terms of from to s
years imprisonment for shooting
craps' in camp was one illustration
cited by the general. The accused,
he said, were convicted of "mutiny''
because they refused to drill after
being placed under technical arrest
on the gambling charge, although
they acted according to their rights
under military regulations.
After the Texas case, General An
sell said he made formal recommen-
dations to Secretary Baker for legis-
lation to give the department wider
authority to revise sentences. Mr..
Baker he explained, adopted his rec
concentrations in part and year ago
submitted a bill to congress, which
is still pending, but which is not as
far reaching as the Chambarberlain
measure.

and in place of gamble the oper-
ator can now show his hackers the
certainty of title.
And what is more t. the point, and
more important from the viewpoint
OF the future for the coal mining in.
dustry for the STATE of Oklahoma, is
the fact that all of these moves are
not being made merely ioi the pur-
pose of bringing the coal to the
surface and shipping it to the con-
sumers. Much of the money going
into this mineral property is being
put there by men who have a vision
of future for the McAlester field
that means the production of every
by-product that can be realized from
coal. Coke ovens is one of the
things in the mind of these men. In
fact, it is one Of the principal indus
tries contemplated, it being the pur-
pose of these operators to work a
sort Of a revolution in the iron in
dustry of the southwest, for with
the aid of the Oklahoma low-sulphur
content coke they figure they can
produce the best pig iron at from
$5 to Sc ton below the Pennsyl-
vania price. What this means to the
hopes of these men for the introduc-
tion of the steel industry in this
part of Oklahoma, or all over the
state, for that matter can easily be
seen.
