Cut Price store, will establish rec
reation part 10 miles out on the Sheri-
dan pike. The park will probably be
opened with a big barbecue July 4.
The terrain at the site of the pro-
posed park lends itself naturally to
the purposes of a recreation ground,
and with number of innovations in
the way of a dancing pavilion
benches, swings, tennis courts. and
croquet grounds, the place will be a
real park for play and rest.
A number of concessions will be
granted by Mr.. Leavitt. which will
provide further convenience for the
patrons.

HUN M|L|TARISTS
PROPOSE PLANS
FOR new ARMY

With the American Army of Occu
patton, May 17.-(Correspondence OF
The Associated Press. German
military experts are publishing IN
German periodicals various suggest
ions for the organization of a new
German army.
One plan is proposed by Major
General Won Francois who command
ed corps in the Argonne opposite
the United States army last fall. His
ideas have been republished in num-
crous German newspapers and maya
zines
He proposes that 100000 men
should be drafted to service under
arms each year, one-half on April l,
and the other 100000 on October /.
Livery man capable of performing
manual labor would be subject to
military duty for one year beginning
a. his twentieth year
The 100000 annually drafted
would be used to defend the country
from attack and preserve order in the
interior he urges. All others capable
of working would be drafted also on
April ! or October 1, but after re-
ceiving a short course in military
training, they would be placed il
laboc battallions to be employed in
sociaized branches of industry which
have been taken over by the govern
ment. These men would thus be en-
gagged in productive activity which
would pay for their own support and
contribute to that of the armed for
ces.
General Won Francois advocates an
army drawn up along the lines of the
old model. saying:
''ili tho training and development
Of the mer democratic innovations
should be avoided. and the old mill
tary PRINCIPLES should be maintained.
One subject should be the establish
nicnt of the highest possible standard
OF discipline. The authority of the
officers as a class must be restored.
The means of enforcing discipline
must also be reestablshed by reviv-
ing the military regulations, the
court marrial system, and the obliga-
ton to salute. The civilian penal code
is not we'll adapted for use in the ar
my: Activities of the general staff
and the war department must not
be Curtaiied."
The general said the Germans in
sist upon being permitted to organ
lZe their new military establishment
in the foregoing manner. If necessary
he said they should refuse to sign the
peace treaty rather than relinquish
airy part of this program.

''Biggety' > Bishop
In Jackson, Miss.

w. H. Heard, bishop of the Afri-
can Methodist Church, who makes
his headquarters in Jackson, seems
to be afflicted with the habit of in
dulging in what darkeys call 'big-
getty" talk when he gets away from
home.
Bishop Heard was up in st. Louis
a month or so ago and attended a
mass meeting held at the Coliseum in
honor of negro soldier recently re-
turned from France, and who has
been accredited with some rather ex-
traordinary exploits on the field Of
battle.
Probably because he was a bishop,
this Jackson preacher was called
upon for speech. He said quite a
number of inconsequential things,
one of which was a declaration that
had it not been for the negro sol
diers the Allies would have lost the
war, which is, of course, both absurd
and untrue. After denouncing the
treatment of negroes in Mississippi,
he said:
''The man who is good enough to
carry musket in No Mans Land is
good enough to carry ballot in Mis-
sissippi." =
1t isn't worth while, of course, to
start an argument with Bishop
Heard on this question. We never
heard of Bishop Heard before, but
he may as well understand now, as
the real leaders of the negro race in
the South already understand, that
the franchise laws in this section are
fixed and unalterable; that the white
people of the South have closed the
door forever to the negro race, inso-
far as political affairs are concerned,
and any negro, whether he be a
bishop or bandit, who attempts to
start an argument on the subject, is
going to encounter serious trouble.

First BogaIusa Boy
Over Is Missing

John Ellington, formerly of the
Great Southern Lumber Company
and who had the distinction of being
the first volunteer to go overseas,
and who was wounded in action at
the Battle of Cantigny, has been
missing since that time and his broth
er, C. E. Ellington, of the Great
Southern timekeeper's office, and
other relatives are confident that he
died from the effects of the wound.
The father, who resides at Crystal
Springs, Miss, heard just after that
battle that his son was wounded and
has made every effort to locate the
boy, but has been unable to do so.
He also received letter from Com
pany /, 18th Division, which was the
company his son belonged to-, in
which the writer states that he saw
young Ellington when he was hit;
that they were going over the top in
the face Of tremendous and fierce
machine gun fire when the young
man was seen to fall, but that he has
been unable to find out anything
further from him.

j. 5. CONTROL
Of CARRIERS

SANTA BARBARA, Cal. Jan. az
Unless the Government adopts "an
Intelligent policy about railroad con-
troll" development of inland water
ways will be futile. Former Director
General McAdoo today telegraphed a
convention OF inland waterway pro-
ponents at Defiance, Ohio. His mes
sage sent in lieu Of an address he was
scheduled to make, explained that ne
believed there was no chance for the
improvements of even the important
internal water routes unless, the Gov
ernment continues to operate the rail
and water lines as "a co-ordinated and
artieulate system"
Only a period OF Government con-
troll longer than :wenty-one months
will provide benefit worth while in
attempting to promote inland water
ways, he said.
Upon the return OF their railroads
to private owner-h hip, which must be
made within the twenty-one' months" )"
Mr.. McAdoo said, 1.-The cut-throat COM
petition OF railroads under private
control with the partially developed
waterways effectively will destroy
water transportation as heretofore,
and the peoples investment of these
facilities will continue to be of little,
it any. value"

Of CLERKSAT
AGE Of 68 IS
UP TO HOUSE

Declaring that every civilized
country in the world other than the
United States, and apart from venez-
uela and Turkey, has adopted some
form Of pension and retirement sys-
tenn for Government employees, the
House Committee on Interstate COM
merce. through Judge Sims, chair
man, favorably reported today the
'Keating McKeIiar pension and re-
tirement measure.
The bill as reported differs but
little from the one which is now
pending in the Senate. 1t is the pur-
pose Of Judge Sims and of Congress
man Keating to press its passage.
and they hope to see = enacted be-
fore March 4.
Would Increase Efficiency.
In the report today, emphasis Is
laid on the idea that a pension and
retirement system would benefit the
Government by increasing the ef-
hCichCy ol tHe cIuplOyeS anu, also,
on the idea that as q matter OF fact
the Government is now paying a form
OF pension by keeping ~. the service
many superannuated employees who
are unable to render full service.
THE Government is now maintain
ing. by indirection. a costly pension
system" the report asserts.
1t declares that the Government,
according to figures which have been
obtained. Is now subjected to a loss
OF $3.00o.OO0 a year because of su-
perannuation.
'TRe adoption by the Government
OF a sound and equitable plan for PEN
sioning its aged civil service en-
ployes,' the report proceeds, "will
prove wise investment, resulting in
the saving OF hundreds OF thousands
OF dollars annually, now paid to inef-
ficient employees. and will permit the
employment OF younger persons,
thereby increasing the efficiency OF
the service as a whole"
"Fifty-Fifty" Plan.
The report deals in considerab ble
part with analysis OF each section Of
the measure. 1t points out that the
fund for the payment OF annuities is
to be raised on the "fifty ATTY" plan.
