Annapolis.-Seriously burned as a
result of a peculiar accident at the
Naval Academy, W. o. Beal and Will
liam Brown, both of Annapolis. are
at the Naval Academy Hospital under
the care Of doctors. Both of them re-
ceived burns covering practically theiI
entire bodies. The accident occurred
when they were opening a can Of
shellac in the electrical engineering
department. Without considering the
danger. they removed the cap Of the
can near an open fame, and the alco-
hol fumes from the liquid exploded
Immediately. The explosion covered
both of the men with the flaming
liquid. Beall was the more seriously
burned. and he probably owes his life
to the quick action of Lieut.. R. o.
Williams. of the department of cleo
trical engineering. who seized mat
lying nearby and rolled Beall up in it,
extinguishing the flaming clothing.

146-year- old man, Fora Mehmed, re-
puted to be the Oldest man in the
world, is i'll 'with indigestion: This is
the first time Fora has ever been ill.
He complains that it is because of

Fora has always been a hamal,-
that is carrier of heavy weights,
ranging from 200 to 1000 pounds.
When he was As years of age, that is
during the Napoleonic wars, he tried
to lift, on bet, 500 pounds with his
teeth and ruined them. He went
along until about 1850 without any
teeth and then he obtained a set

WAR WAITS DEPEND ON US,
Polish Soviet War Puts Burden of
1,250,OO0 on America.

by Associated Press.
London, Nov. 9-One of the after
maths of the Polish Soviet war is
that Americans viii be called upon
to feed and clothe more than 1850 600
Polish children this winter thru the
American relief administration. Up
to the time of the latest outbreak Of
hostilities, restitution had been so
reduced that the relief administration
officials believed that Poland, with
the organization the Americans had
perfected, would be able to carry on
the work after this autumn. That is
considered impossible now and prep
arations are under way for caring for
as many children as during the dark
days of last winter.
This decision came after receipt in
London Of reports of complete sur
vey Of the country begun Immediate
ly after the b6slleviki were driven
back. Trained observers report that
the Poles themselves have not paint
ed the picture black enough After
two armies had fought over the
ground there was little left for the
children, they report. and each re-
quested immediate shipment of food
and clothing, AS far as possible. dis
tributing agents OF the administra-
ton are complying with these re-
quests.
The organization by which about
s19,000,000 worth OF food and cloth
ing was distributed in Poland in 16
months at cost of approximately
$4,000, is virtually intact. 1t includes
between $4,000 and $4,000 Poles whose
services are paid for by Poland but
who worked under the direction of a
few American administrative Off
GERS. The Poles also pay for trans
portation from the ships. warehous-
ing and distribution. In addition they
supply all flour received by them
thru a 100000 credit granted them
by the grain corporation.
Attic the distributing organization
was considerably disarranged during
the recent fighting, officials here say
they can get into working order
again very quickly after railroad re-
pairs have been completed.

New Treaty May Place Them O
Plane With Other Foreigners.

Plane With Other Foreigners.
Washington. Nov. 9.-Baron Shide-
hara, Japanese ambassador, and Ro-
land S. Morris, American ambassador
to Japan, will hold a final conference
today in the preliminary negotiations
concerning the alien land ownership
laws in California
Mr.. Morris, who has Just been
granted sixty days leave of absence,
will go directly to Philadelphia. It is
not expected he will return to Japan,
owing to the brief interval between
the end of his vacation and the
change of national administrations.
1t is believed his advice and assist
ance will be needed further in the de-
velopment of treaty negotiations be-
tween the Toxic and Washington
governments.
It is understood that the tentative
posed agreement respecting Japanese
emigration to the United States have
been drawn, but inquirers at the state
department were cautioned today mot
to go too far" in regard to matter
under negotiation.
1t Is understood, however, that the
new treaty draft provides for an ex-
tension of the rights and privileges of
Americans in Japan as well as defin-
ing to the advantage Of Japan the
rights and privileges Of Japanese in
the United States.
It has been indicated that the right
OF Japanese nationals in the United
States will be recognized upon a plan
Of equality with those of any other
foreigners In this country; and that
in the emigration agreement Japan
will satisfy the wishes Of the state
department on this subject.
It is believed the constitutionality
Of the California alien land owning
legislation ownership will be tested in
the United States supreme court,
thru action instituted by Americans.
1t is doubted in we'll Informed quar-
tiers that Japan will associate herself
with any attempt to obtain judicial
determination Of the issue, as the
Toxic government has taken the
stand that the question is one for the
United States government itself to
decide.

Chicago, Nov. 9.-Wheat-Except
for a little strength early, wheat was
very weak and closed near inside fig
ures. The weakness in foreign ex-
change and lack of any big export
demand have fastened the decline.
With. an open market, in which a
holder has always been able to hedge
his stocks or his contracts, the farmer
and the grain dealer have been much
more fortunate than many of their
neighbors. Liquidation was on in corn
and was accelerated by heavy hedg-
ing of bids sold. The market has
finally had a good cleanup and we
would not be surprised to see a sub
stantial reaction.
Oats-Oats reached new low ground.
Today's liquidation has eliminated a
good many lines of futures held for
a long period and put the market in
