RECRUIT ARMY
UP TO 100000
New System of Filling Ranks to
Be Used in Campaign

Announcement is made that the
United States army needs number
of men to fill vacancies that have
occurred and which have operated to
bring the army below the 10000
men for which there is appropriation.
Recruiting for the army, under the
new system, will be conducted by the
various posts! stations, and camps
of the army that are scattered
through the nine corps areas of the
country. From each of these, par
ties Of officers and men are to be
sent to nearby towns to search out
the best of the young men who wish
to enter, or re-enter, the army, and
to take thenl--to the nearest post or
camp. No general recruiting stations
are to be established.
Youngsters who have not yet
reached their 18th birthday are not
wanted, nor will they be accepted.
It has been directed that all Of the
recruiting forces investigate the
statements of prospective candidates
for enlistment, and verify them be-
fore the men are accepted Men who
cannot read or write English are not
desired in the new army, and will
not be accepted for enlistment. The
army is to continue its educational
system, bat it is not going to take
the man who cannot read or write
and teach him these things which he
should have learned when he was a
child
Enlistments are TO be so handled
thtt the army will not exceed l50,-
900 men at any time, therefore, it
is expected that the standard of men
obtained will be the hiehest that the
army has ever had That, literally
it will be hand picked. 1t is stated
that the allotment system will be
used in obtaining men and that each
corps area will be authorized to en-
list men to fill vacanies only. Re-
ports Will be called for frequently
to assure that the enlistments do not
exceed the number of vacancies.

HARDING STLRS
AGED DISPUTE
References To Simon Bolivar
Brings Champions of San Mar
tin To Fore In Argentina

BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 16.-(By
Associated Press When President
Harding said at the unyeiling Of the
statue of General Simon Bolivar in
New York that freedom in the Am
erican continents was due principal
ly to two heroes, Washington and
Bolivar, he caused to flame forth
afresh an old controversy regarding
the relative merits of Bolivar and
the hero of the Southern South Am
er.ca, General San Martin,
AS a result of this the Junta de
Historic y Numismatica Americana
here has proposed that Congress
should pass a law providing $780,
900 Argentine paper with which to
make a motion picture film showing
the part played by the Argentine
hero in the struggle against Spain.
The plan is to have the picture dis
played in South America and in 9TH
er lands so that the world may have
a better understanding of the eX-
ploits of the leader who captured
Lima, Peru and thus broie the back
bone of the Spanish power.
Historians of the southern part of
the continent have long accused those
of the northern half and of Central
America of persistently attempting
to belittle the deeds of San Martin.
They point out that while Bolivar
freed the north, San Martin accom-
plished the titanic feat of leading an
army from Argentina across the An
des, freeing Chile and later capturing
Lima, which was the seat of Spanish
power. This, they say, put an end to
Spanish resistance.
Bolivar was also approaching Lima
at the time of its capture, coming
from the north. Both generals met in
Guayaquil, Ecuador and General San
Martin resigned Lima to his fellow
liberator, returning himself to Ar
gentina. r .

UNEMPLOYMENT
NOT SERIOUS
Georgia Reports Situation Needs
No Help From Legion-6OO,-
600 Out in Other States.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 10
Survey conducted by the American
Legion through II 900 posts disclos-
es that between 100000 and 100000
veterans of the world war are out
of employment, it was announced to-
day.
The Legion's investigation shows
that Pennsylvania alone reported
10000 ex-soldiers out of work. New
York has 100000, Illinois $4,000 and
Massachusetts 10000, Michigan 3O,-
600.
Georgia was the only state to re-
port that unemployment was not
general enough to require aid from
the Legion.
The American Legion Weekly, in
its issue tomorrow will say that Zig
ures alone do not tell the plight of
the American unemployed veterans,
for the greater part of these job
less ex-soldiers and ex-sailors are not
only out of work but are engaged
at this moment in struggle for ex-
istence with their backs to the wall
of circumstance" --- ...-.-.--.4-.---. .
Stating that the "plight of the vet
Grams is serious enough today and
that winter is just around the corr
ner," the weekly continues:
"AlI over the United States the
American Legion is working to meet
this new emergency. 1t is not alto
eether a new problem for most of
the posts, for they have long had
employment officers and have sys-
tematically helped their members OBJ
tain jobs. The problem has now be-
come one of volume. Facilities that
enabled a post. to place three or a
dozen men in jobs weekly do not

of veterans are on the unemployment
lists and open Jobs have almost van.

one largely of relief"

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16-Ros-

2 murder warrants.
Arbuckles money will not save him
from vigorous prosecution. This de-
veloped when District Attorney Mat

telegram assuring Mayor L. c. Hodg-

HEART

In Washington, preparing for the
conference to limit ornaments, many
landlords and hotels prepare to reap
rich harvest of boosted rates. Much
grumbling from the delegates, which
shows that diplomats are human at

If these diplomats will forget that
they are talking machines, if they
VIII unleash their natural human ten
dencies, the conference will have bet
ter chances of success.
Sentiment as we'll as brains is nee.
essary at the conference. A little
heart-throb as we'll as brain pulse
should enter into it. Disarmament
is more a matter of the heart than
