 Those Kibbe Grows

 There's another kind of municipal potato. but this is the kind that Kibbe raises at the town farm.''
 Mayor Curtis obtained no small amount of publicity through his opposi- ton to the municipal potato project sev- eral years ago. On numerous occasions he clashed with Mayor George A. Quigley on the proposition of municipal potato raising which proved financial failure. His election as mayor follow cd a victory at the republican primaries over Quigley.

In his address he said:
 'There are two fronts now, but it is too early to change our weapons for peace implements. The famine has giv- en our enemies encouragement. France intends to array Poland and Rumania against us. We arc ready to make con- cessions for we want to live peacefully.
 Tt is not true that we are mobiliz- ing as reported abroad. We really are demobilizing but let those threatening us come and sec the Moscow and Pet rograd garrisons. We, on behalf of the Moscow garrison, tell the foreign office and all our diplomats that every thing should be done to avoid war: but if Poland and Rumania attack we are prepared to meet them. Let us think of peace. but keep rifles and sabres in our hands,
 Trotzky walked about a hollow square formed by attachments of all branches of the service including camoufaged tanks and armored cars before deliver ing his speech. Then he ascended alone a high white stand from which he ad- dressed the troops. The latter were massed close to the speaker. whose stand was immediately before the Kremlin wall at a point on which stands the tower from which Ivan the Terrible reviewed his soldiers. Trotzky wore a khaki uniform cap similar to that worn by the English. The sol- diers were extremely young particularly the musicians in the bands which large ly were composed of boys under 16 years of age.

 CONTINUED UNTIL FRI.

 Mich Also Held.

Pleas of not guilty were entered by both Clemens Kalkowski and Big Frank" Fetzmann, owner and bar tender, respectively, of a Main street saloon in which Louis Wrinkle is al- legged to have sustained injuries that caused his death, when they were ar raigned before Judge B. w. filling this morning on manslaughter charge.
 Michael Mich who furnished the police with much of the information that resulted in cleaning up the case, was put to plea on technical breach of the peace charge. He pleaded guilty, but Prosecutor Albert A. Greenberg changed the plea to not guilty. His case, together with those of Kalkowski and Fetzmann, was con tinued until Friday morning. Bonds were required of all three men the first two being held in $5,000 and Mich in s1,00O bonds.
 The state alleged, in the cases of the cafe proprietor and the bartend- CT, that they, through negligence did expose Louis Wrinkle to danger after he had sustained an injury to his head, causing his death.''
 Kalkowski listened to the charge with great concern and when Clerk Emil J. Danberg finished the read ing, he replied: Not guilty
 Fetzmann. after his charge had been read, said: Not guilty; not me-"
 He then turned and looked about the room with a broad grin on his face.
 Prosecutor Greenberg expressed a belief that he would be able to pre- pare the case for presentation in the latter part of the week. Attorney Michael A. Sexton, who represents Kalkowski, wanted an adjournment until Saturday morning, but finally agreed upon Friday as the day for the trial.
 Long before court opened this morning the seating capacity of the courtroom was exhausted. Several hundred curious persons who were anxious to hear the proceedings, were turned away.

MARINES PLAY AT WAR
Eastcoast Expeditionary Force is Marching on fredericksburg, Va, in ManeuVcfS.

Aquiai Creek, Va, Sept. 27.-The marine corps eastcoast expeditionary force, a majority of the members of which saw service overseas broke camp here today and continued it's march toward Fredericksburg under conditions similar to those they so often encountered in France. Rain began to fall last night soon after camp was pitched and the pup tents, though theoretically water tight proved a poor protection. To add to the discomfort the weather grew cool and sleep was generally impossi- bIe. At 3 a. m. Brig. Gen. Smedley Butler commanding the expedition, ordered hot coffee prepared and while two bands alternately played Dixie" and Yankee Doodle" the devil dogs" drank coffee and sang to keep up their spirits.
 At o'clock the column, five miles long, started for Fredericksburg where camp will be pitched tonight. The heavy artillery was the real prob lem to move and in many cases com manders were forced to make long de- tours to get their pieces through.

Another Witness Tells Of 75,000 Ex-Servicemen Out of Work in New York City Alone.

Phelps, director of labor statistics of the Mass achusetts labor department. the first witness heard by tho national uneni- ployment conference committee on un- employment statistics which set to work today to determine the extent and volume of the nations involun- tnry idle.
 ''Uncmploymcnt is due in some measure" Mir. Phelps told the com mittee, ito the fact that labor will not accept reduced wages"
 7s.Ooo Vets Without Work.
 Harry D. Jacobs. president of ex- servco mems employment bureau Of New York. the next witness, estimated that there were 75.000 unemployed former soldiers in New York city and said the establishment of vocational training schools in army camps as pro- posed by the government would solve tho unemployment problem as far as the unski1led world var veteran was concerned.
 . Not Work People Want.
 MT. Phelps declared that the trouble in Massachusetts at present was not that there was not employment but that there was not work people wanted at the wages they sought. People could not find jobs at the wages they want , cd he said. and were unwilling to ac- ccpt the reduced pay. He added that some Improvement has been noted in Massachusetts where now the figures show but t3 applicants for each po- sition offered as compared with 36 ap- plicants for each position in May. IT Applicants for jobs were willing to ac- capt reductions in wages which he de- ciared must take place the states em- ployment service would be able to fill more places.
 UnsI<iIIcd Can't Find Jobs.
