Washington. Sept. 10.-Spirituous
liquors received their final and COM
plete divorce from the United States
navy in an order made public by the
bureau Of medicine and surgery, pro-
hibiting their issue to naval vessels
for medicinal purposes. Not only are
medical supply depots prohibited from
issuing whisky except to hospitals, but
when their present supplies have be-
come exhausted, the order states, mo
further purchases win he made and
whisky win be stricken from the sup

of the navy. 1t is estimated that the
supply on hand will last no more than
two or three weeks. "when whisky
is no longer available" the order says,

Persistent digging by the senatorial
committee on campaign funds brought
out facts favorable to both sides.
Among the witnesses heard was Harry
M. Blair, assistant to Republican
Treasurer Upham, and the author of
the now famous Form 101" plan for
larger cities. He said that he had 25O
copies Of this circular made, locked
most of them in safe, but took sew
raising the limit of subscriptions was
rejected by the Republican committee.
Consequently the circular was. never
issued, but Mr.. Blair admitted some
copies might have got out and thus
come into the hands of Mr.. Cox. Dud-
ley S. Blossom of Cleveland gave evil
dence in support of the Cox charge
that special quotas were fixed for the
larger cities, admitting that the Cleve-
land quota was 100000. and that he
was in charge of 20 teams named to
raise that sum. He said that only $74,.
600 has been raised or pledged.
Other evidence heard by the commit
tee established the Cox charge that
within the Republican national COM
mittee there was volunteer as well

candidates charges that the Republi.

of more than $1,000 were sought.
The fact was developed that state
and local managers all down the line

to raise, in order to get the amount
asked by the national committee.

letters to the postmaster of that towr

MRS. J. PICKFORD DIES
Physician Says Olive Thomas
Took Poison by Error.
Movie Actress Drank Deadly Potion
Following Quarrel With
Husband.

Paris, Sep 11.-Olive Thomas,
American moving picture actress and
wife of Jack Pickford, died at the
American hospital at Neuilly this
morning. She was taken to the insti-
tuition several days ago suffering from
mercurial poisoning, having swallowed
bichloride of mercury, it is said, by
mistake.
DR.. Joseph Choate, an American
physician In charge Of the case, said
that the actress had swallowed q solu-
ton of alcohol preparation containing
II grams of bichloride Of mercury, suf-
1cient to kill 25 men, but he added
that she had taken it through error.
Recently, 1t is said, Miss Thomas
had been suffering from nervous de-
preston and had expressed fear for
the safety Of her husband. According
to DR.. Choate, it was only through the
prompt first aid given by Pickford on
his return to the hotel, where they
we're staying that Miss Thomas was
kept from dying at once.
Another report says Miss Thomas
swallowed poison after a quarrel with
her husband.
According to intimates, the climax
to the Pickfords' second honeymoon"
came following frequent remonstrances
by the husband against Olives youth
full impulses, which led her to sue

She was warned several times to
abandon her frequent visits to the

This probably as much as anything
else will give some idea of the state
of mind of the Western Canada farm
er, as he watches the tally from the
thrashing machine while his wheat Ia
being carried to the elevator
From all sections of the country,
the most optimistic reports are re-
ceived, the local and city papers are
filed with reports from twenty to thir-
ty bushels of wheat to the acre, while
in some places oats are showing rec
ord of as high as 120 bushels to the
acre.
Referring to Saskatchewan, it is con-
| fidently expected that the wheat yield
will be nearly 125 million bushels.
Heavy rains which fell in districts that
! did not promise so well in July, had
| greatly improved the prospects there,
and there is no question that paying
yields will be produced. The yields
in the eastern part of the province
may not show to the advantage that
will those of the western part. but
too much cannot be said of this, for it
is the results as they come from the
machine, and often these prove happily
deceptive.
There is now every reason to believe
that the wheat crop of the three prai-
rie provinces will approach 250 mil
lion bushels.
Alberta will exceed the 20 million
bushels that had been looked for. The
average yield will be considerably
higher than it has been in the province
in any of the last four years.
The Department of Agriculture in
recent report gave the opinion that it
cannot fall below twenty-five bushels
to the acre, and that it might easily
pass the twenty-five bushel mark.
Most Of the wheat in the province
4 when the report was written, stood
well up to three feet high. and on
some fields was still higher. The re-
port goes on that in parts of South
ern Alberta forty and fifty bushels to
the acre yields will not be uncommon.
while there will be good many yields
of from thirty to thirty-five bushels
to the acre.

and south the crops are excellent and
the yield will be heavy.
A larger than average wheat crop
is being thrashed in Manitoba. 1t has
been estimated that the total yield
of the three provinces will not be less
than 225 100000 bushels, and it may
, be that somewhere between 250,OOO.-
600 and 30OO00,000 bushels will be the
final figure.
Oats is a good crop in all three
provinces. This crop has also grown
rapidly during the last two or three
weeks. Excepting from those fields
which were sown late for green feed,
the yield will be heavy and the grain

U. S. EMERGENCY ARMY
War Department Announces De-
tails Of Organization.
First Line VIII Consist Of 3oo, 900 Reg
uIars-Natlonal Guard With 4S5,-
900 VIII Form Second Line.

Washington, Sept. 10.-The war de-
partment, it was announced here, is
completing the organization for vast
emergency army, the greater portion
of which can be modified and
equipped for offense or defense within
twenty-four hours. Under the plan
the first line will consist of the regular
army Of 100000 troops; the National
Guard. with 435, 900 officers and men,
will form the second line. A reserve
force for which 10000 officers have al
ready been appointed and 1900 more
are under consideration, will form the
final and by far the most numerous
section.
While the number Of troops in the
reserve force Is not definitely fixed,
the skeleton organization will be such
that it can be expanded to any size the
emergency may require. The only
limit will be the number Of men of
draft age in the United States.
As planned, the, new National Guard
will not only be trained as coast ar
tillery, anti-aircraft units. regiments
of heavy guns and howitzers, ammuni-
ton and supply trains, etc., but all
combat commands will be armed with
rifles, pistols or machine guns, so that
any local unit win be operated as In
fantry at will.
The strength of the National Guard,
5000, is practically the same num-
ber of National Guard officers and men
who were serving in the United States
army on June 80, 1918.
Doubt has been expressed that such
strength can be maintained. AS an
inducement in that direction, the fol-
lowing annual scale of pay, to include
at least 40 drills and is days field
service has been fixed:
Captain, $794.s8; first lieutenant,
S462.72; second lieutenant. S376.96
sergeants first class, $223.36; SER
geants, second class, $149,12; SER
geants, fourth class, $115.20; corporal,
$94.72; private, first class. $74.SS; pri-
vate, $64.

Polish troops, in their operations
against the Russians, have run afoul
of the Lithuanians, and hostilities have
broken out between the two countries.
The bone of contention is the province
of Suwalki, which is inhabited main
ly by Lithuanians and was given to
Lithuania by Russia when the Poles
were driven out recently. Attacking
suddenly, the Lithuanians defeated the
Poles in the region of Seiny and then
by forced marches advanced beyond
the city of Suwalki. with the evident
intention of assaulting the Augustowo
fortress, to which heavy Polish re-en-
forcements were rushed. Poland pro-
tested to the League of Nations against
the action of Lithuania, but that coun-
try refused TO accept the blame, stat
ing that it does not recognize the lines

and Marshal Foch, but is ready to
