the leadership Of his fellow statesman,
the present Chief Executive, who is
80 effectively establishing them in
the present.a
There is that in the present
condition of our country which ad-
monishes us TO remember William
Mckinley" he said. ssIfe was wiser
than his critics. He was genter than
his friends. He was iirmers than his
party. He found the nation depressed,
and distraught, heShrought it prosper-
ity and eontentment He led the peo-
pie not from afar off, where his
influence could not be felt, but from
near at hand, directing their course,
but yet with them.
"He was the first to recognize that
the Spanish war had made us a world
power with world responsibilities.
Finds Same Virtues In Harding
The Vice President paid tribute to
President Harding, ascribing to him
many of the virtues that made Nc
kinIey so beloveds
The open White House gates are
but the symbol of the open heart of
him who wishes his every approach
open to the people," he said.
This disposition has been manife,t t
in the coordinating harmony of all
government actiy tiles. There is har-
mony in the Cabinet and in Congress,
bred not of coercion but of coopera-
tion. There has been established at
Washington government of the peo-
pie.
"The confidence of South American
republics is being restored. The terms
on which commercial relations with
Russia can be entertained have been
stated. The existing differences be-
tween this country and Mexico have
been at least clearly defined. Invita-
tiQns to meddle in Europe have been
refused, but the obligation to make
reparations in accordance with stipu-
lated agreements has been expressed
in way most effective in preserving
peace. Contact with the Allied nations
has been resumed.
"The attitude of the President has
been a far greater influence than is
yet realized in pacifying Europe, not
through entanglemenfs, but by holding
to that strictly American policy so
we'll expressed in the dispatches to
foreign governments. If by the meet
ing of their obligations to the best of
their ability, the German people shall
be restored and stabilized Europe
shall again take up the burdens Of
civilization to the relief of our own
nation, great credit will be due the
present Administration"

Boy Scouts Want Pianos
Eighteen Needed TO Make Sum
nner Camps Conplete

Headquarters for the Boy Scouts
Camp at Tuxedo has issued an emer-
gency call for the loan of pianos to
make complete in all it's phases the big
summer outing. There are eighteen
camps on Kanowahke Lakes, Interstate
Park, just outside of Tuxedo. There
are $500 boys attending these camps.
The one thing needed to round out the
days activities is musical entertain
ment.
So public appeal for the loan of
eighteen instruments is being made.
Amy one who has spare piano, and who
has the pleasure and welfare of the
boys at heart, is requested to COM
municate with II. M. Cutler, Chief
Quartermaster, Headquarters, Boy
Scouts Camp, Tuxedo, N. j. The scout
organization will provide means for
removing the pianos to and from the
destination.

Forces i'm Canal
Zone and Hawaii
Not To Be Reduced
Cut in Army to Result in
Rigid Economies in us.
Camps, Says Secretary;
$4,000 Men for 9 Areas

BOSTON, June 18.--The forces on
duty in Hawaii and in the Canal Zone
will be maintained Mt present strength,
Secretary of War Weeks said here to-
day, Notwithstanding reduction in the
standing army. He had Just left a con-
ference with Brigadier General Mark
L. Hersey, acting commandant, of the
First Corps Area, regarding the extent
of the retrenchment to be made in this
district. Explaining that economy was
necessary as result of recent Con-
gressional action, the Secretary dis
cussed the effect Of the policyA He
said: ~ T'@'s
"As the army exists to-day, 1t con-
sists of approximately 100000 men.
This number is to be reduced to 1907
600, of whom probably 100000 belong
to the coast defense, the air, the chemi-
cal warfare and other similar and al
lied services, including It's forces in
Germany. and in foreign possessions,
This leaves bare $4,000 to be distriba-
ted throughout the nine army areas
made up of camps and stations.
1T IS easy TO understand, under
these circumstances, why there must
be general shifting of forces that
will result in at least a garrison force
to act as caretakers of governmen
property in each of the camps"
l.cIerring to the force now at Hawaii,
Secretary Weeks said: "There is a
good reason for these men being in
Hawaii and a good reason for their
staying there. Under my administra-
tion of the affairs of the War Office
their number will not be reduced if
I can help it, nor will the number sta
toned at the Panama Zone be lessened
for the same general reason"
The Secretary said he favored repeal
of the wartime regulation that army
officers should appear in uniform at all
times, and indicated that revision of
this rule would be considered shortly.

THE AUSTRIAN TRYOL

NN Y ASHINGTON, May 27.-(Spe- W\W cial) Austrian Tyrol, the
 most mountainous part of Austria, which voted unofficially re- gently to join itself to Germany. Is described in the following bulletin is- ters of the National Geographic so- ciety:
 "Tyrol Is second Switzerland, about equally mountainous, though not quite so well known to the tourists of the outside world. Still. as the home of snow-capped peaks, deep valleys and sturdy. yodeling peasants. 1t had it's need of fame among those who search out the beauty spots and quaint To- calities of the world. And to the Aus trians themselves I, was the pleasure ground par excellence. Tn the care free days before the outbreaek of the World war $50 Tryolean health resorts and recreation centers were listed Emperor Francis Joseph. who was an ardent mountain climber had a sum : mer palace at Ischol in Tyrol. and at other places in that mountainous re- zion he maintained hunting estates snd lodges which he considered the finest in Europe.
 But Tyrol of today Is far different from the Tyrol of 10 years ago. Then the region under Austrian control ex- tended far south of the main crest of ern Italy This southern region was known as Trentino to the Italians and was one of the most important parts of Italia irredenta.' When the vic torious allies wrote the treaty of St Germain which closed the war with Austria, the Italian border was moved north to the position claimed by the Italians for centuries; and so more than half of the old Tyrpl was Topped off.
 The present Austrian Tyrol is a region of approximately the area of Connecticut and with a population of lcSS Inan 0UV,VuV.

FOCH ON NAPOLEON

Marshal Foch, in the Napoleon Sup
 plement to the Londan Times. N 1T APoLEQN was. beyond com nW pare, the military genius of e modern times.
 When, at 27, he became general in ten and all that had been done before him in the military art. In studying it's principles, with the help of his rare natural faculties, he did more than learnJ he understood events and grasped what had to be done under new conditions. He was already the absolute master of his art, thanks to the extraordinary gifts which he ap piled to it without reserve.
 Later on, in politics, as in admins tration and In the domain of law, he showed a like superiority. His was therefore. an exceptional mind
 This mind he fed by constant work. Recognizing the importance of detail, he overlooked no means of gaining knowledge. None understood better than he the value of files. Before he undertook a campaign, he studied and classified geography. climate, popular habits and traditions, local conditions and customs just as in military or- ganization he had thorough knowl- edge of every arm. of all kinds of ma triel, and all means of communica- ton.
 Thanks to this minute preparation. to the perfection of his files and to the remarkable rapidity of the working of

Worthy of Aid

People of Birmingham are contrib uting generously to the Salvation Army drive,' said Reese Adamson, 'and we expect to oversubscribe the quota by the end of the week.
 "Everyone is familiar with the work of this organization and especially has 1t rendered a splendid service to the unemployed in this district since the strike of the coal miners was settled,
 Tine Salvation Army is a credit to any city and is far-reaching organ ization doing the work of no other and going where many others do not ven- ture.

 derbolt.
 In the dark hours of the war we l often asked ourselves: If Napoleon
 were to rise from his tomb at the In- ,valides, what would he say to us.
 what would he do with our armies of l today?"
 l He would have said to us: 'You have
 millions of men; I never had them. You
 have railways, telegraphs, wireless
 aircraft, long-range artillery, poison
 not. turn them to account I'll show | you "a thing or two!' | And, in a couple of months, hs | would have changed everything from l top to bottom, reorganized everything. | employed everything in some new l enemy.
 l Then he would have come back at | tho head of his victorious armies
 and would have been very much in the
 way. l Napoleon's successes are known. His | triumphs have been thoroughly studied,
 The causes of his failures arc less I known. Yet the campaigns of 1872, | 1913, 1874 are tho most interesting. He failed. they say, because he was without Berthier. I do not think so
 In 1914. It is explained, he was already i'll. Perhaps.
 But in my view, the deep reason for | the disaster that overwhelmed him
 must be sought elsewhere. He forgot

 goal since above war there is peace

Harding Is Proud of
 Birmingham's Record

eeIDIRMINGHAM has given a bet
 ID ter account of itself than any place I know off," said w. P. G. Harding, governor of the federal re- serve board, yesterday. "The people of Birmingham did not lose their heads during the boom times. As a Birmingham man I feel proud of the way our city did in the period of expansion and imitation and since."
 Words like this coming from MT Harding ought to be inspiring to the citizens of this community. It is good to know that the head of the greatest banking institution in the world is able to pay this tribute to his own city and it should convince the men of Birmingham that, when the turn does come, they and their district are in form to make greater progress than ever before.
 Birmingham did not become as in- toxicated over high prices and high wages as many other communities did, therefore, as MT. Harding truly said, Birmingham is not so pain fully recovering from a commercial and financial orgy.
 Had MT. Harding been alone in making his statement about Birming- ham, we might attribute his really warm commendation of his own peo- pie as issuing as much from his heart as from his head, but others have rendered the same verdict from time to time.
 Just trifle more patience, trifle more concession to the demand for modest profits, just bit more wait ing and the district will forget that there ever were such things as de- pression and deflation. It will be "doing business as usual"

Lansing Statements
 Denied by Makino

NJ lsCouNfV MAKING Japanese
 " delegate to the peace confer ence, denies Robert Lansing's charges, made in his recently published book, that Japan threatened to bolt the conference unless President Wilson acceded to her wishes in the Shantung controversy and attempted to force adoption of the racial equality clause by announcing that she would not sign the peace treaty.
 "The question regarding Shantung and that regarding racial equality cannot be treated in the same light" says Viscount Makino. 'The state ment made by Mir. Lansing in this connection is probably his own mis- conception, as he was not present. at the meeting at which the final deci- sion regarding Shantung was arrived at." As the viscount points out, MT. Lansing was not the highest Ameri- can representative in Paris and did not take part in the meetings to which he refers.
 MT. Lansing acknowledges that he was more or less of an outsider dur ing the more important conferences. In fact, the Secretary of State cut 6 sorry figure. He could have saved his own dignity by resigning, but he hung on and finally compelled MT. Wilson to ask for his resignation. MT. Lansing's book was rather hu- initiating confession and an attempt to air what he conceived to be griev- ance. He further placed himself in an unenviable position to have some of his statements questioned, as in the case of the Japanese diplomat, with the ironical reminder that he was not permitted to attend the meetings of the Big Four" and had to depend on hearsay for much of his informa- ton as to what took place behind closed doors.

have been made by the present as well as the former administration.
 At recent dinner given by busi- ness men in New York President Harding said:
 Every generation has it's prob lems. Our rise in power and in- fluence has imposed new respon- abilities.
 Today our strength in the in- dustrial, financial and commercial world, our capacity to produce, our ability to extend credits which oth- CTS cannot give and which brave, but unfortunate peopls sorely need all these make it necessary that we shall adopt new commercial methods whereby to insure the fullest possible service to civiliza- ton.

Easy to Raise

Birmingham has no excuse for not raising the s2o,OoO for the Salvation Army" said Miss Inez Cavallas of Washington, D. c.
 From what I have seen of this city in the two weeks I have been here, there seems to be plenty of money. The Salvation Army will raise the de- sired amount without any difficulty If the people will let go of their purse strings.
 The Salvation Army l. the most wonderful organization in the world and 1t Is only recently that the world became acquainted with the vast amount of good 1t Is accomplishing Yet, for years 1t has been going on modestly and quietly with the good work. It certainly Is worthy of sup port and no one should refuse to give their aid to it.

Hotel BoOtlegging

How to handle the hotel bootlegge CT was one of the interesting problems discussed at the convention of the Georgia Hotel Mems associate in At lanta this week." said George R. Ben ton, manager of the Hillman hotel. Nearly every delegate had some thing to say on the subject and several remedies were suggested. Among those that sounded most plausible was a scheme to have the city or county furnish a special officer to make his residence at the hotel and to let the police be directly responsible for the arrest
 Care of drunken man was also discussed and it was deemed advisable to treat a man who applies for 8 room while intoxicated with authoritative decisiveness and to get him out of the hotel without an arrest"
