With Nese, Drum

A certain Salvation Army corps
in Michigan, has new drum.
A tall, raw-boned American
doughboy, wearing the insignia of
the Army of Occupation, lugged
the drum into the place last week.
Say, Cap" yelled the soldier,
here's a new drum. A couple of
years before the war stole one
Of your drums and the gang and
me had great time.
II thought it was a pretty good
joke on you birds until the war
came and I went to France. Then
one day some lassies came through
the trenches and handed us coffee
and doughnuts.
THAT was the day I promised
myself If I'd ever get home again
I'd buy a new drum for YOU"
"And-here .tis."

A shortage in the school treasury,
and a citizenship clamoring for low
err taxes. That is exactly the situation
in hundreds of school districts. The
charge Of past extravaganza and mis-
management, in nearly all instances,
is unwarranted and unjust.
The levelheaded school board met
the situation in the only way that it
could be met. Increased salaries had
to be paid in order to hold the teach
ing forces; more money had to be paid
for supplies and equipment, larger in
vestments had to be made in school
additions and new buildings, a high
err rate of interest had to be provided
for bond ~issces, etc. -
But, the American schools continued
their work steadily and efficiently,
thanks to the patriotic school admin
istrators, who were not afraid to face
public f~ault-finding and criticism
which was sure to follow, and COM
piled with the great mission entrusted
to them,
Instead of hammering the school au-
thorities for what they did in time of
a crisis it would be wiser to discuss
calmly and nationally the financial
difficulties that confront them now.
Retrenchment may be the order of
the day but retrenchment is the rank

est kind of extravaganza if it impairs
the integrity and efficiency of the
school system. And right here a
wholesome public sentiment, led by
the newspaper editor, should support
the school authorities in their effort
to maintain the highest standards of
efficiency without over-straining the
tax ability of the community. To aid
in accomplishing the one with a due
regard to the other will prove more
profitable at this time than to find
fault with the deeds of the past.

General Forecast

An extensive area of low pressure
has its center over Nova Scotia and
is moving eastward. Another dis
turbance is over Alberta, Canada.
The pressure is high in the Mississ-
ippi valley and the region Of the
Great Lakes, and high and rising
rapidly on the north Pacific coast.
This pressure distribution has been
attended by normal temperatures
general over the United States ex-
cept the northern Rocky Mountain
region and the western Canadian
provinces where abnormal warm
weather prevails.
The outlook is for generally fair
weather Thursday and Friday in the
states east of the Mississippi river
except that local thunder showers
are probable along the south Allan
tic and east gulf coasts. The tenn
perature will rise Thursday and
Friday in the upper lake region and
Friday in the lower lake region and
the upper Ohio valley. Normal tenn
peratures will prevail through the
next IS hours in the Atlantic and
east gulf states.
Winds: North Of Sandy Hook:
Moderate west and northwest winds,

DISASTROUS FIRE
IN OIL FIELDS,
AMATLAN, MEXICO

Mexico City, July 20. (By The AS
sociated Press)-The American Oil
fields are on fire. with drilling towers
falling like chaff and the workmen
fleeing, according to reports received
here describing the greatest catas-
trophe in the history of the oil field.
The cause of the fire is not known.
The financial loss cannot be esti-
mated. say the advices, which add
that the conflagration dwarfs into
insignificance the Pordro Del Llama
disaster.
Columns of fire, hundreds of feet
high, are covering the entire field, it
is declared, and efforts to suppress
the blaze are said to be considered
hopeless.
1t is also feared that there will be
some loss of life, as the fire spread
so quickly from Lot No. 162, where
it started, other wells in the vicinity
exploding.
Amatlan, in the oil region of the
state of Vera Cruz, lies between Tux
pam and Tampico, about s. miles
northwest of the former city and
some 10 miles southwest of Tampico.

JAIL BIRD ADDS TO
TESTIMONY AGAINST
DIST. ATTY TUFTS

Boston, July 20-Louis POGO" Ben
nett testified before the full bench of
the supreme court today that Captain
Herbert Gordon, member of District
Attorney Nathan A. Tufts staff, in
MiddleseX county, approached him in
connection with an offer to get him
out ofthe East Cambridge Jail.
Bennett, who was serving . L.
years for the holdup and shooting of
an Everett paymaster. testified that
he was originally approached by
Frank Corcoran and Charles Corco-
ran, county employees who said they
could get his parole through a friend
of Tufts for $1,000. Charles Corcoran
later told him he had received the
money which came from Benefits
relatives, Bennett added.
When Tufts learned that Bennett
had told of Captain Gordon's alleged
participation in the parole Offer he
threatened to indict Bennett unless
the latter stopped his story, Bennett
said.
George A, Butler, brother in law of
Bennett, testified that he paid the
$1,000 to Charles Corcoran.
Attorney General Allen next intro
duced the case in which Sheriff Fair
BARN was sued for $4,000 which was
alleged to have been due the county
for the defalcation of a bookkeeper.
The Attorney General charged that
the District Attorney willfully ne
elected to prosecute the suit, which
was instituted by Former District
Attorney John j. Higgins. Fairbairn
testified that he never had asked
Tufts not to prosecute, and he did
not know why the suit was not pro-
secuted.
These were cited by the Attorney
General to support his charge that
the District Attorney from improper
and unlawful motives delayed the
prosecution Of an indictment brought
against certain defendants, and
shielded and protected the defen
dants from prosecution. The aIega-
tons have been denied by District
Attorney Tufts. saving that the cas-
cs were in charge of his assistants
and that disposition of them was on
the assistants reports.

that valiant commander and friend of
every soldier. Major General Edwards,

This session marked the organiza-

1t was a 100 per cent. American meet

themselves together for a purpc Sc

marked.
