OF Augustus

At the outbreak of the Mexican
War in 1S45, the residents of Millvi1le,
H., a small frontier town, are IN great
excitement Lieut.. Tom Hardy Is re-
cruiting a regiment for service and
Newt Gillespie, after kissing his
mother enlists MiIt Shanks, who has
Just purchased medicine for his sick
child appears and Hardy thanks him
for having given up West Point 50
that he (Hardy) might have the ap-
pointnaent- Milt desires to enlist, and
Hardy seeks to restrain him from do
ing so on account of his wife and
child
When MiIt goes home to announce
his determination to his wife, he finds
that Abraham Lincoln has stopped
there for a drink His wife protests
against enlistment, whereupon Lin
coin urgest that It IS MiIt's duty to
remain at home to which he reluctant
Iy agrees Fifteen years later, the
town IS again in a turmoil over the
out break of the Civil War. Captain
Hardy Is again seeking recruits, and
1T Is apparent that there are numer-
Gus Southern sympathisers in the
town Lem ToIlard Is suspected of
having Southern leanings and he is
heckIed by the Unionists AIIIt Shanks
IS about to enlist when he is handed
a letter from President Lincoln ask
ing him to go TO Washington and see
him Milt asks Brother Andrew to
notify his wife that he has been called
out of town and starts for Washing
ton He sees Lincoln and accepts a
dangerous mission On his return to
MiIlville he asks Lem to get a mes
sage down South and shows a copper
button such as Lem carries Milt's
apparent friendship for Lem occa-
sions much comment among those
who suspect Lem of being a Southern

TO wear the uniform and he anazes
her by saying that he is for peace
and that war Is unjust Captain
Hardy appears with his men and MiIt
tells him he can't join him. He
makes q remark about Lincoln which
enrages Hardy and they struggle.
joey, who is present, scorns his father
and prepares to go to the front
When MiIt goes to the store, he is re-
yiled by the children as a traitor. He
meets Brother Andrew and whispers
to him that he is ready to accept
orders from him, inasnuch as Lem
is going to warn the rebels that re-
Inducements are coming and that he
may be able to head him off
On q road near Tyler ford, Mi1t,
Lem and four others are riding when
a detachment of Yankees, among
whom IS Brother Andrew, open fire

son Joey's heroisn on the field OF bat
tie Milt returns home and Brother
Andrew hands him letter ordering
him to go to Richmond. He cautions
him to be careful as the Copperheads
would kill him even after the war If
they learned he was in the Secret
Service
Mi1t and Ma met frequently and he
appeals to her to believe in him and
that when she learns the truth she
VIII respect him He learns one day
that joey was killed at Vicksburg
and that his body Is at the town
church Ma is Frustrated at the news
and when Milt goes to the church,
he IS denied adnittance and told that
Joey's dying wish was that his father,
whom he DENIED traitor, should not
see him in his coffin Broken hearted
he leaves only to learn that his wife
Is dead He then disappears
Forty years later, Milt is still a
voided by his townsmen and called
jail-bird- At a reunion of Grand
Army veterans the announcement is
made that Lem To1lard has at last
been pardoned- Milt informs Made

troubles of her own When Lem re-
turns home, Milt meets him Lem
remembers the Tyler ford incident
and asserting that Milt had caused
the Yankees to surprise them, he
shoots him MiIt sends for Col Har
dy and tells him that Tom Hardy and
Madeline love each other
Milt then discloses his secret which
clears everything. He had done all
he could for his country, and had en-
dured the contempt of his townsmen
without complaint because Lincoln
had placed faith in him an his patriot

and her sweetheart, and patting his
faithful dog, dies serene1y a smile of

BILL SIGNED; HARDING
ECONOMY DRIVE EFFECTIVE
Continued from First Page.

the army besides the 10000 enlisted
men would be thrown on the labor mar
ket to complicate the unemployment
situation. Secretary Weeks said to-day.
He added that the War Department still
hoped 10 be able to avoid the summary
dismissal of any enlisted men.
Enlisted men In the service who de-
sire TO leave may tender their resigna-
uons. In this way 1t was hoped to
avoid forced discharges. For the next
few weeks, Mr.. Weeks added, only rou-
tine and requested discharges would be
issued. If these do not indicate that
the enlisted strength will reach the level
nxed by Congress. the question of arbi-
trarily discharging enough men to make
up the difference will then be taken
up.
In signing the bill, President Harding
was understood to have followed a
course regarded by his advisers as the
only practicable one in view of the in
sistence of both the House and Senate
that the army be reduced as proposed
In the measure and the short time re-
naming before the end Of the fiscal
year.
At one time to-day it appeared that
the fight on the naval bill was at an end.
In the midst of numerous conferences
the Senate conferees decided to recon-
mend acceptance Of the House measpure.
Later however, il was decided to throw
the entire matter into the Senate to-
morrow, with the result In doubt.
Senate opposition to the House confer
once report was largely on two items
elimination Of all provisions for airplane
carriers and House amendment broad
ening the navy retirement law so as to
extend regular retirement pay and other
privileges to enlisted man as well as of
hcers of the Reserve Corps.
Final disposition of the bill tomorrow
was the aim and hope OF leaders of both
the Senate and House, but they were
to rush through an emergency
resolution continuing present naval ap-
should the deadlock con-
tinue
If the House measure Is adopted the
bill will carry a total of approximately
$413, 200. 900. or 100000 less than was
previously appropriated by the Senate.

for economy. The army bill totals s327,-

for the national defence. Estimates sub

OF PEACOCK
DISTURBS GRAND OPERA
Raucous Cry Interrupts Barry
tone in Lucia

CINCINNATI, June 3O.--Grand opera Is
being sung at the Zoo here and the
pavilion which houses the stage is
pitched near an enclosure In which
struts n handsome white peacock. the
show bird at the Zoo. Until Mario Vale
came on last night 10 sing the barytone
role of Henry Ashton in Lucia" the pea
cock had been an attentive but silent
listener but the instant that Ashton
appeared and began TO sing the bird
began 10 utter shrill, raucous cries.
Apparently the peacock was Jealous
OF Valle's costume, which was of gor-
geous red velvet and lace, for II kept
quiet when other members Of the COM
pany sang. Every time that Vale ap-
pesred during the opera, however, the
bird broke forth with it's derisive cries
and repeated the entire programme dur
ing this afternoons performance of the
opera. Unless the temperamental fowl
can be gagged or otherwise kept quiet
he will be removed to another part Of
the Zoo.
The New York herald., 1921-07-01
Hoover to Save 81 900, 900
in His Department.

Herbert Hoover. Secretary of Com
merce, said his saving of s1.O00,00o out
of money already appropriated by Con-
gress will be effected by reductions in
personnel wherever possible and by
economies in mechanical operate
wherever. they may be enforced.
Asked what he thought Of Gen.
Dawes's speech and programme, Mr.
Hoover said:
IT am strong for Gen. Dawes, of
course, and this department will do it's
part earnestly to inject economy at
every point"
Secretary Hoover stated that in the
Commerce Department. since the new
Administration went into power, a re-
duction of 800 in the number of en-
ployees had been ordered without
lessening in any sense the efficiency
of the organization. That has been ac-
complished by doubling up the work
of some of the bureaus, overmanned
Originally. and by a better distribution
of the work falling within the depart
ment. Mr.. Hoover said he would not
limit himself to saving $1.o00.000. but
purposed to compel economies much
beyond~that point IL humanity possible.
Reference was made to the voluntary
agreement of employees within the
Commerce Department to work extra
hours in emergencies for the sake of
economy.
There is big field ahead for Gen.
Dawes. in the opinion of Secretary
Hoover. who observed that there is
much "deadwood" throughout the Gov
ernment departments. He had in mind
not only human material that clogs
the path to progress, but mechanical
red tape which winds In an endless
stream about the personnel and ma
chinery of all departments.
