Memorial Day Message To American
Legion Stirs Men; Shows Presi-
dent Not In Favor OF
Sacrificing Lives

New York-President Harding, in
Memorial day message to the Ameri-
can Legion, made public Thursday, ex-
pressed hope that the future would
bring less need for further national
sacrifices. The message follows:
Americans have never been much
given to the establishment of holidays
and fete days. Perhaps our national
life has been so short, and entirely
within so matter-offact and practical
period of the worlds history, that
we have been little moved by the senti-,
ments that such occasions inspire. Yet
think no nation has ever established
national day of conservation that
represented more lofty and ennobl-,
| ing sentiment than does our national
Memorial day. To its oberservance we
have brought the full measure of sim
cere reverence and gratitude that a
great people is ever to entertain for
those who have made the great sac
rifice in its behalf.

beginnings, have deserved the most
that the nation could give of gratitude
and appreciation. 1t reminds us that
in every generation, from Lexington
to the Argonne, our valorous sons have
well deserved the highest tribute that
a nation, fortified, defended, preserv-
ed, could give to them. Whenever the
demand has come, and wherever it may
havs called the sons of our proud land,
it has always been answered. Though
we have never been a militant or war
loving people, there has been no time
when Americans did not rise to the full
measure of the recruitment which ma
tional honor and national safety i'm
posed upon them. When national safe
ty was the cause, the response was al
ways insistent and decisive. When
civilization summoned and our sons
were called to other seas and soils, we
saw the same promptness, the same
zeal, the same devotion.

VALDIVOSTOK HELD

Toxic, -AntibolsheviN are in control

though the general political situation
is somewhat obscure, it is said in press
and official advices. The city is gaily
beflagged with the old Russian colors.
M. Merkuduff head of the new gov

has issued statement saying the prim-
airy task of the new regime is to main

not be altered, although Communists
will be urged to serve. Members of
the old government, except those liable

There have been reports that Gen
eral Semenoff, Cossack antibolsheviki
leader would 90 TO Vladivostock from
Port Arthur to direct the new move
ment, but it is declared his leadership
will not be accepted. General Verbi.-
sky, commander of troops formerly
under the leadership of the late Gen
eral Kappell, has arrived in Vladivo-
stock and is trying to reach an agree
ment with the Japanese relative to the
administration of the city.
General Semenoff has boarded a
train at Darien Oalny), Manchuria,
for yladivostock and has chartered a
steamer to transport arms and am
munition to that city.
A dispatch to the Nichi Nichi from
Hardin states that the authorities of
the government of the Siberian Far
Eastern republic at Chita developed
differences of opinion as to what at
titude they should take toward the
political change of Vladivostock. Some
of the members of the government adj
vocated an attack upon the Kappell
forces. The government conferees,
however, after a meeting held May 90,
finally decided not to adopt an agrees
sive policy.
The Chita authorities, adds the dis
patch, expressed the opinion that the
Japanese were "behind the scenes" of

SKULL OF SULTAN BLOCKS PEACE
Special Clause in Treaty Calls For
Skull of Sultan to be Given British

Special Clause in Treaty Calls For
Skull of Sultan to be Given British
Berlin.-No matter how good its in
! tentions, Germany can never fulfill the
treaty of Versailles and the ghost of
Sultan Mkwawa will forever roam the
streets of hell. Both conclusions come
from perusal of the government docu-
ment. "How Germany is fulfilling the
peace treaty"
1t seems that Sultan Mkwawa, al
though dead, was important enough 30
have a special clause in the treaty as
article 246 says Germany shall deliver
over to the British government the
Skull of the late monarch. East Afri-
can negroes declare Sultan Mkwawas
ghost will roam the streets of hell un-
til his skull is restored to rest in his
native land and the British wanted to
gain the favor of the negroes by max
ing such restoration.
Now the German foreign office adj
mits it has not found the skull and does
not know where it is. Likewise, it
cannot find the original koran of Calip
Gilman which article 2s6 of the treaty
says was stolen from Medina by the
Turks and presented to Kaiser Will
helm. As the peace treaty can never
be fulfilled, the German officials want
to know whether the Ruhr basin will
be occupied as a result.

REDUCTION Or ARMY
FAVORED BY SENATE
WOULD DIRECT SECRETARY OF
WAR TO CEASE ALI RE-
cRulTING AT ONCE.
Action Taken In Face of Advice From
General Pershlng and Score
tary Baker, Who sugoest
100000 Men as Minimum.

Washington. Over the protest OF
the majority Of It's military affairs
committee, the senate on january IA
passed the resolution directing the
secretary of war 10 cease army re-
crulting until the size OF the regular
army IS cut down to 10000 men.
The vote was "a 10 20 In favor of
the 10000 limit. and party lines were
broken. Democrats and Republicans
being almost equally divided, both In
support and opposition.
This vote was taken, although Cen
eral Pershlng and Secretary Baker, at
an executive session with the military
affairs committee just before the con-
yenlng Of the senate, objected TO any
serious cut IN the size of the army.
General Pershing suggested 100000 as
the minimum limit,
Senator New, Republican, Indiana,
member of the military affairs com
mittee, who introduced the original
reduction resolution, declared that he
did not consider the 10000 limit
"elther expedient or safe while
Chairman Wadsworth expressed oppo.
sitlon to what Is a very drastic re-
duction Of our military establish
ment."
Senator Dial, Democrat, South Caro-
lima, asked II the number of officers
was affected, and the chairman re-
piled that the "only way to discharge
officers Is by death or courtmartial
for dlshonorable conduct or bad
debts"
Several amendments regulating the
application of the reduction were
adopted, the most important of which
would require the war department to
maintain all services on an equal basis,
equal to 531a per cent of the total
strength in each branch contemplated
by existing army reorganization
statutes, Another would authorize
the discharge of any enlisted man upon
his application, If approved by the sec
rotary of war. Committee estimates
We're given the senate that the present
size of the army, about 213,0O0 men,
would be reduced under the resolution
by enlistment expiration to 10000 by
next December,

Says Short Sighted Policy in Failing

Profession Has Led to Class
Consciousness in Profession,

Washington. Conditions in the pub.

unrest throughout the country and
the situation has become so serious
that the states and the nation should
cooperate TO remedy them, according
to a statement issued by Joseph ii.

''Our short-slghted policy in failing

seriousness in that profession which
has made itself felt in the classroom
and left its inlelible imprint upon the
impressionable minds II the young,
declared Mr.. Defrees, who adds that
of the 100000 public school teachers in
the United States:
One hundred thousand are under
the age of 21,
Thirty thousand have no education
beyond the eighth grade;
One hundred and fifty thousand
have no education beyond the third
year high school and
Four hundred and eighty thousand,
or fOur-fifths of the total, have not
had two years of special training, the
minimum required in other countries,
''One reason why radicalism has not
made the same Roadway in the United
States that it has in Europe" Nj. De
frees continues, "is the fact that hun
dreds of men occupying positions of
the greatest Importance in this cum
try began life as poor boys. But what
have we got to say of the inequalities
of education?
eighteen thousand classrJoms in
this country are said to have stood
idle last year through lack of teachers.
Taking an average of twenty-five pu-
pills TO each classroom, that meaus
10000 children were either denied
education altogether or were crowded

given such education as they could get
