WILL TRAIN 150O MEN ANNUALLY FOR
 COAST ARTILLERY
Plan Is Radical Change From Old System Of
 Coast Defense.

Washington, April 19.-Approval of the proposal of military experts that the coast defense policy of the United States be radically changed to include as it's basic element utili- zation of railway and tractor ord- nance of heavy caliber was seen to- day in the announcement by the war department of the organization of a coast artillery officers reserve corps with an annual increment of at least ,50O students.
 Through the cooperation of univer- sites and colleges over the country, the department plans to train this number of officers each year in the use of large guns of the type which could be made available at any coast point threatened by the enemy. The complete plan for mobile coast de- fense ordnance involves the linking of strategic points on the coasts with existing railway systems and the construction along a seaboard of military roads capable of supporting heavy motor tractors.
 Five Schools Accept.
 Five institutions already have ac- cepted the departments offer to es- tablish under their supervision coast artillery training units to be tutored by officers detailed from the regular esta blishment and trained by actual operation of the artillery they will be called upon to man. These schools are: Massachusetts institute of tech nology. Vanderbilt university; Mis- sissippi A. & M. college; University of Washington, and University of l Virginia.
 Fourteen other universities and colleges have approved the plan but their proposals have not been acted on by the department. They include the Louisiana state university.
 Each unit will comprise a minimum of 50 students and the courses will be so arranged as to interfere as lit tie as possible with the regular schol astic work. Strictly military work with the coast defense armament vii be held at summer camps of sis weeks duration, but with their col lege instruction the students will re ceive two hours class work each weel in morale, military organization, hy |giene and kindred subjects. Sich incl

London, April 19.-The keenest dis appointment is felt in Great Britain at the failure of Major J. c. P.

WIL SON ASKS REDEMPTION OF
 WAR PLEDGES
Urges Full Subscription Of
 Victory Loan.
SAMMIES REDEEMED
 COVENANT OF BLOOD
World Today Is Free From Threat or MIitariSm ind
 Oppression.

Washington, April 1J.-NeW evi- dcnce of Americas purpose to redeem in full, the pledges made on enter ing the war was asked of the nation today by President Wilson, who urged full subscription of the $4,500,00O,- 900 Victory Liberty loan note issue Sixty thousand men who gave their lives in France have redeemed the covenant of blood made two years ago, the president cabled from Paris, but the pledge of treasure remains yet to be fulfilled.
 President Wilson's message in full follows:
 "For two anxious years, the Amer ican people have striven to fulfill the task of saving our civilization. By the exertion of unmeasured power, they have quickly won the victory without which they would have re- maned in the field until the last re- source had been exhausted. Bringing to the contest a strength of spirit made doubly strong by the righteous ness of their cause, they devoted themselves unswervingly to the pros- ecution of their undertaking in the UIi hllOWlCdSC IIdI HO COIltluCSG ldN in their path excepting the conquest 1 of right.
 World Is Free.
 To-day, the world stands freed 1 from the threat of militarism which has so long weighed upon the spirit and the labor of peaceful nations.
 But as yet, we stand only on the 1 threshold of happier times. To enter we must fulfill to the utmost, the engagements we have made. The Victory Liberty loan is the indispen- sable means. Two years ago, we pledged our lives and fortunes to the cause for which we have fought. Sixty thousand of our strongest sons have redeemed for us that pledge of blood. To redeem in full faith, the promise of this sacrifice we now must give the new evidence of our promise"
 Receive Many Pledges. 1 With the formal opening of the campaign still nearly two days away, subscription pledges began to pour into the treasury today, along with the prediction of success perhaps even more optimistic than those accom- panying the four previous bond is- sues. Enthusiastic reports from banks caused some anxiety to officials who hope that the new issue will be popu- larly subscribed instead of being taken by financial institutions as that would result in tying up credit.
 Lewis B. Franklin, director of the war loan organization, said today that as an incentive to the average investor all subscriptions of $1O,OOO and less would be accepted in full. and that any over subscription of the isue would be deducted from the larger purchases. He explained that this was expected to create an imme- diate demand for the notes, which he regarded as highly desirable invest ments because of the liberal interest rate and tax exemptions. In this way, it is expected that the price will be kept we'll up after the cam |paign closes.

One can find little cheering news

coal is out OF the local market and
has been since the United States en-
tered the war, the government having
taken the entire output Of the Pitts
burgh mine district.
Coal men base their expectations Of
higher prices in the fan on the fact
that the mine operators contracts with
the miners unions will automatically
expire on tho signing OF the peace
treaty. A compromise agreement was
made last year under which existing
labor contracts remained in force until
the end of the war,
Operators have been informed that
the miners union will ask for a six
hour day, and five days work in the
week, with pay at the same basis as
under existing contracts, which are for
an eight-hour day and six days a week.
That would mean a labor increase Of
about 60 per cent, and mine owners
figure that labor costs are about So
per cent Of the cost Of mining coal.
Besides that, coal Is scarce at the
mines now, as il is said that fully 60
per cent OF the labor has left the mines
to return to the farms which many
Of the miners own.
Whether the miners will secure the
advances they are demanding is an
other question. Usually at least 80
days are consumed in conferences he.

F. H. GATLOR
SERVED WITH FOUR
ARMIES DURING WAR

Lieut.. Frank Hoyt Gailor, son Of
Bishop and Mrs, Thomas F. Gailor, has
reached home after having had the ex-
perience of serving with four great
armies during the world war.
loon after the Germans had invaded
Belgium, Lieut.. Gailor, then at work
for one OF the great newspapers OF
London, went to Belgium, where he
at once enlisted as a volunteer in
Hoover's food commission. the peace
full army which kept The Belgian peo-
pie from starvation.
A few months later, hearing Of the
need of the French armies for ambu-
lance drivers, he succeeded in getting
into France, and for nearly a year
he drove an ambulance from the first
aid dressing stations to the field hos
pitals.
He visited his home for a month
after leaving that service and then re-
turned to England, where, despairing
Of the United States entry into the
war, he secured a commission as an
| artillery officer and after a few months
training went to the front with his
battery, His commission In the Brit
ish army was granted him because OF
the fact that he was a Rhodes scholar
at oxford. and had won a degree with
honors. Otherwise he could not have
been commissioned without giving VI
lis American citizenship.
After fighting with the British for
nearly a year, he secured a discharge
last spring and was granted a lieu
tenants commission In the United
States army, ard served for the re-
mainder OF the war with the DIST di-
vision.
After the armistice he was detached
and for the past three months he has
been on staff duty with the peace com
mission in Paris.
Lieut.. Gailor Is not inclined to tain
much of his war experience, having
acquired the English reticence as &c
his own part In the struggle for world
liberty, but he has nothing but praise
for the British forces, including the
Colonials and Canadians.
