Pershing Urges Big
Turn Out for Citizens
Training Camps

Washington, May S-General PERISH
ing appealed today to the young men
of the country to attend the citizens
training camps to be hel dthis sum-
mer and thus aid the war department
to build up "trained citizen reserve
organized to meet the emergency of
war"
"Our position and influence in world
affairs" said Gen. Pershing, "are not
measured by our wealth and popula-
ton nor by our free and liberal form
of government, but by our purpose
TO maintain the high principles Of
justice and humanity upon which our
institutions are founded. Thefulfilf-
ment Of this purpose depends upon
our readiness to defend its integrity.
"Our traditions are opposed to the
maintenance of large standing ar
my. but we have persistently failed
to train our citizen soldiers in time
Of peace an dhave waited until war
was declared before making any
move to that end.
From purely military standpoint
our policy should provide: first, per-
manent military establishment large
enough to guard against sudden at
tack; second, a force sufficient to meet
our international obligations, particu-
larly on the American continent;
third, such force as may be necessary
to meet our internal requirements;
fourth, a trained citizen reserve to
meet the emergency of war"
Many benefits result from the sys-
tematic training of civilians through
such camps as the war department
proposes to conduct, the general con-
tinued, including the incubation in
the youth of the country of respect
for constituted authority and the
principles of self discipline.

ENGLISH STRIKE
Nations Industries and
Public Utilities
Affected
Drastic Reduction to Meet Sit
uation Brought On By Min
ers' Walkout-Attempt This
Week to Renew Negotiations
for Settlement

London, May S-Efforts will be
made this week by outside influences
to secure the renewal of negotiations
for settlement of the miners strike, it
was indicated today, but hope of
reaching an adjustment until after
the Whitsun holidays seems remote
among the interested parties. There
is some talk of the executive officers
of the miners federation returning to
London before the end of the week to
compare notes on the information
they have picked up in their visits
to the mining districts and to consid-
er suggestion that they abandon
their demand for a national pool,
which has been q stumbling block in
the negotiations, in favor of some
scheme which will answer the same
purpose.
Meanwhile the position of the
country's industries and public utili-
tics is going from bad to worse. The
railways and street car and under
ground transportation systems have
announced further drastic reduction
of services. Even the newspapers are
affected, some of the London dailies
going to press at 10 o'clock tonight to
conserve coal and light and enable
their employees to reach their homes
before the last public conveyances for
the night leave the vicinity of the
newspapers.
Dublin, May S-The Irish and Eng
lish railway men and transport work
ers have decided to permit the hand
ling of foreign coal, shipped direct to
Irish ports and intended for Irish
purposes only. The question of max
ing an exception from the decision of
the railwaymen and transport work
ers not to handle foreign coal arose
when Il cargo of Belgian coal arrived
in Dublin last week. In view of the
miners strike the local transport
workers refused to unload the vessel
A number of shipments of Ameri-
can coal, it is learned, are on the way
to Ireland.

better citizenship and the political edu-
cation Of their sex. Their clubs have

Buy Your Coal Now

A statement has been issued by Sen
ator Elkins of West Virginia, saying
that the lack of demand for coal mas re-
suited in throwing 100000 miners out
of work, and that their families are IN
distress. He urges the public to lay III
the winter supply of coal now and dur
ing the summer in order that the mar
ket may be gradually restored and the
unemployment relieved. Another reason
given in Senator Elkins' statement 1ol
buying coal now is to avoid the trans
portation difficulty which the railroads
could not overcome if the nations sup
ply of coal is delayed for delivery tt
the fall and winter months.

Surprising Demand
for New States

To the native citizen of our Eastern
States proposal to change the terri
tory or name of any of the As States
comes as shock To us State is
State, with roots reaching so far back
into history that realignment of terri
tory or even remaining would seem i'm
possible. Not so in the West. A plan
for dividing Texas into five States has
recently been given wide publicity. Now
, comes the announcement of conven-
ton at Spokane of legislators from the
Eastern Section of the State of Wash
ington and the Northern part of Idaho
to consider the joining of their re-
spective territory to form the new state
of Lincoln.
The third proposal for a new State
is in the Illinois Legislature in the form
of resolution calling upon Congress
to create the State of Northern Illinois
to consist of Cook County (Which in
cludes Chicago) and seven adjoining
counties.

Printing to Be Read
or Not to Be2

Experts have learned that column
of lust certain width is ideal for
reading. The eyes can take in that
much without shifting their gaze along.
A narrower column is wasteful in OPP
teal effort and wider one is objec-
tionable for another reason; the lines
are then so long that it is difficult to
keep track of ones place. In going
from the end of one line to the begin
ming of the next you get lost
What I'm really getting at is this:
The other day | started to read over
my insurance policy and | discovered
that the lines in the text were about
ten inches long. The text was so diff
ficult to read on this account that
gave it up and do not know yet what
the preamble to my policy says. | an
| wondering now if the insurance com
pany knew | would not finish reading
the policy. Is that why the lines rui
clear across the street, instead of il
ordinary column width? Is there any
thing there that the company doesn'
wish me to read?

You cannot salt the eagles tail,

You cannot make truth untrue
