UTTER LACK
OF CONCERN
.0vERELECT|ON
Think Harding-COx Issues Will
Soon Sink Into In
significance
By WILLIAM PHILIP s1MMs

fsTAFF CORRESPONDENT l. N. SERvIcEl
WASHINGTON, July 2l-Despite the
fact that the political battle beginning
this week in Ohio is first, and fore
most to settle Americas foreign rela-
tions policy. washington's diplomatic
corps ia watching the contest with an
utter lack OF concern.
European diplomats accredited 10
this country admit they are watching
the spread of war in Europe rather
than the struggle between Senator
warren G Harding. republican. and
Gov. James NJ. Cox. democrat. for the
presidency OF the u. S.
EXPECT BIG CRISIS
Some of them privately confess the
belief that before the winner shall
have been in the White House year
the world will have. reached such
crisis through new wars or ether alarm
ing circumstances. that the issues over
which Gov. Cox and Senator Harding
are now hghting. will have sunk into
insignifcance. And the new president
whether Cox or Harding. will have TO
face the new issue on his own. aided
only by his own native initiative and
the help OF the men he has gathered
about him.
nON'1 An O1f EN-
Opinion among members of the for
eign colony here apparently is that
regardless OF whose fault II is. peace
already has been so long delayed that.
so far as the world Is concerned. II
makes slight difference which man is
elected president of this particular
country. Russia and Poland, they
point out are already at war and what
ever its outcome may be. Europe and
by rlcochet. America. will have reach
ed the consequences long before a new
president shall have commenced 20
function In washington.
FOUR WARS EVEN IN TURKEY
Four wars are going on inside tho
Turkish empire, they argue. The
Turks against the Greeks in Anatol-
ia. the Turks against the Greeks in
Thrace; the Arabs against the French
in Syria and lastly, the invasion OF
Armenia by the eleventh army OF the
soviets. Anything. they aver, can
grow out of that one situation before
the foreign policy Of the U. s. can
be determined by an election.
ARE MUCH ALARMED
Diplomats here express themselves
as greatly alarmed over the general
situation abroad The Balkans, they
observe. are stil1 seething with war
and unrest: China has a war OF her
own. Japan is carrying out an armed
occupation in Siberia with occasional
clashes with the Russians. while Ger
many. angry and menacing. continues
TO bicker bitterly over the peace terms
necessitating recurring threats of a
new war against her.
Economic experts attached to the dip
lomatic corps here. however. insist the
most alarming fact Of all is passing
unnoticed by the now POLITICAL yabsor-
bed American nation. namely. the men
ace of famine in Europe

Against Daylight Saving at Spring
field, Mass. by vote condemned in
unmeasured terms the situation
forced on Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Connecticut and Rhode
Island by the Massachusetts, law in
that it will cause trains to start one
hour earlier, thus dislocating the
school, mail, freight and passenger
service"
Mr.. Myrick said: 1.-THE people Of
Maine submitted evidence to the
conference proving that the pro-
posed changes in railroad schedules
to meet Massa cfusetts Daylight Saw
ing were such as to deprive the pub
lie of the reasonably adequate
transportation service to which they
are entitled. The thought was ex-
pressed that if the railroads wished
to change the time of their regular
trains, other trains should be oper-
ated on the established schedule to
provide reasonable service to which
the public is entitled. The confer
ence is also entering formal COM
plant before the Interstate Com
merce Commission at Washington

and furnished by the Federal au-
thorities.
One particularly interesting case
which Melted the State $400, necessi-
tated correspondence with various
parties from Maine to Florida, but
resulted in the chief warden of the
county finally locating the offender in
small town in the State of Maine,
far distant from his legal residence.
1t appears that a secret warden
was detailed for service between
Jackman and the Quebec boundary
last year and unearthed evidence of
beaver law violations. Two Of the
cases are still under investigation by
the State as well as the Federal au-
thorities, while the third has recent
ly enriched the State fund to the ex-
tent of $500. as above stated.
In this particular case, the secret
warden was unable to obtain quite
all the evidence necessary to warrant
taking up the matter in court, but,
with the aid of a Federal warden,
the chain of evidence was completed
and, while a fine of $500 was imposed,
on account of eXtenuating circum-
stances, payment of half the fine was
suspended. Much misleading infor-
| nation was given the department as
to the whereabouts of the offender
this was n case covering the illegal
transportation of beaver skins from a
point in Maine to Massachusetts
the parties at interest trying to lead
the department to believe that the
offender was in Cuba: but upon talk
ing up the case, the chief warden of
the county, the secret warden being
detailed for service elsewhere, in
side of Il week located the defendant
i'll distant part of Maine and he
promptly came into court and set
tied the case as above indicated
Two hundred dollars has also been
collected recently on four deer cases,
original evidence in which was OBJ
tanned by plain clothes men, and
$500 for the killing of moose last
September, which was also unearthed
by one of Commissioned Parsons
special agents.
Another $50 fine was paid in the lat
ter part of January by a party for
killing deer while on the Allagash
trip last summer, which evidence was
also obtained by one of the commits
sioner's secret representatives.
The above are only 4 few of the
prosecutions resulting from efficient
work on the part of these new agents
of the department. The results each
month show more and more the wis
dom of the department in deciding
to place on duty posse of plain
clothes men.

matter made by our inspectors that the
king pin of the car involved in the ac-
cident. was not keyed under the trucks,
and that the truck holsters were not
fastened or strapped to the truck" say
the commissioners in their decision.
by reason of this fact the body of
the car left the trucks at the first curve
where the car was running at sucn
great speed" continues the decision.
while it is of course impossible to
say what might have been the result
had the body of the car remained upon
the trucks, it seems probable at least
that the accident would have been less
serious under such circumstances, if not
entirely prevented.
1T appears that all Of the single truck
cars in use upon the street railways in
this State and one-half of the double
truck cars already have the bodies fas-
tened to the trucks. We believe that
all Of those cars whose bodies are not
already fastened to the trucks SHOULD be
changed in that respect as soon as NAV
be. This case will be held open for such
further proceedings and orders as NAV
be considered necessary or advisable"
