Governor Alexander said the cabinet

Have you ever had any use for the

''Two Leagues Not Probable"
Governor Alexander was not enthu-
siastic for any present help from the
disarmament conference now in ses.
sion and rather threw cold water on
any thought OF any big things TO be
accomplished at Washington. He said
there lacked the concert of the nat
Ions necessary TO put over anything
OF value, that there has already been
one league OF nations organized, and
that there would not be. another at
this time. ,...
He said the railroads were contrib
uting to the downfall of the farmer
with excessive freight rates, that the
railroad commission had decided that
the railroad owners should have n
Fer cent on their investment, which
was @ per cent more than the far

General Hartford, his assistant, called

said he felt would come from harmony
and close relationship.
Chairman Kahn. in telling later of
the meeting, declared no other chief
of staff had ever made such a call.
"The visit was revelation and a
joy" he said. General Pershing most
was cordially received and told US of a
very earnest desire on his part to CO.
operate with the committee.

him that the committee was only too
glad to cooperate with him and make

Lack of Soldiers
Halls Plans for
Military Burial
Governors Island, Stripped
by Release of Men, Cannot
Furnish Needed Quotas;
Scarcity of Gun Carriages

The Charles Cusick Post of the
American Legion in Union Hill, N. j.,
is having difficulty in arranging for 3
military funeral for Lieutenant Charles
Cusick, whose body recently was re-
ceived from France. The funeral is
to take place Sunday, the services be-
ing held at his parents home, ESQ
Second Street, Union Hill.
Edward E. Martin, adjutant Of the
Charles Cusick Post, said yesterday
that he had not been able yet to obtain
a gun carriage and a riderless mount
and was not sure that firing squad
of regulars could be had either. The
authorities at Governors Island, he
said, were c.. rteous, but not enthusi-
astic about military funerals.
They told him, Mr.. Martin said, that
in compliance with the recent orders
to reduce the personnel, every soldier
at the post, who was not in q hospital
or under charges, Lid had an oppor-
tunity to return to civilian life and
so many had seized the opportunity
that only handful Of ablebodied
soldiers remained.
It might be possible, Mr.. Martin was
told, to get together enough men for
firing squad and the officers were
pretty sure that there was a bugler
somewhere about the post, but owing
to the great number of bodies received
lately from overseas, these men had
been severely overworked at funerals,
Sometimes, it was said, they had two
or three funerals in a day and there
seldom was a day in the week when
they did not have to turn out for one.
If the post would guarantee the ex-
pcnse of the detachment, Mr.. Martin
was told, the officers at Governors
Island would hunt around and try to
get firing squad together for Sunday.
So far as gun carriage and rider
less mount were concerned, neither
was to be had at Governors Island for
Sunday, that being an extra busy day
for funerals
