POLES CARRYING GRAIN ON THEIR
 OWN RAILROADS

entirely of Polish rolling stock and manned by Polish crews began making regular trips into Rumania recently to bring grain to the new re- public, which suffered terribly in crop losses last year owing to the Bolshevik offensive. Rumania was unable to deliver grain to Poland be- cause Of lack of usabIe rolling stock. This grain is r11il1ed into flour for the population of Galicia. Northern Po- land including Warsaw receives its supply of flour chiefly from America.
 Two trains day, transporting about 25,000 tons of grain a month, are now making regular trips from Central Runaania.
 Experts have reported excellent prospects for PoIand's crops next har- vest and 1t is expected that with summer of peace the country will raise enough grain to supply all needs

Latvian Children
 In Dire Need

Paris. April "A report issued by the American Red Cross calls atten- ton to the plight of 100, 900 children in a section of Europe which has re- ceived very little public attention. This is Laitvia, a country which suf- fered much during the war since it served as a passage for both the Ger man and the Russian armies A land once of fine buildings and rich farms. it is now reduced to utter ruin. Fields are lying idle because of a paucity of workers.
 The report states that there are 600,000 children in I&atvia under 16 years of age Of these, 100000 are tn need, 5000 are in founding asy- lums and 1S,0O0 are aided by munic- ipaI institutions. but the rest are re- ceiving no assistance whatsoever. They are chiefly war orphans or abandoned children whose parents cannot be traced.
 The situation is particularly crit ica1 just now, because last summers harvest was below khe average and is almost exhausted. The price of food is extremely high and manufactured art<1eS are very scarce A suit of meSs clothes costs 5000 rubles a yard of imported linen 200 rub1es and domestic linen 100 rubIes. Under these conditions children cannot be clothed or furnished with the mast essential arments.

UNION OF THE BALKANS IS
 PROPOSED

Paris, April With a view to setting up the United States of the Balkans" discreet conversations have been opened between Belgrade and Sofia, according to information re- cefved in diplomatic circles here.
 Bulgaria is credited with originat- ing the proposal which is said to be finding many supporters in the new kingdom of Jugo-Slaviaa The plan is to unite all the Southern Slavs, the Bulgars and the Serbs, Greats and Slovenes forming the new Jugo-Sla- Yian monarchy in a, loose confed era ton which would ultimately grow stronger and perhaps draw to it the kingrfom of Rounania-
 The new Bulgarian government is said to be promoting the plan as a guarantee against future wars with Serbia and at the same time as as surance against trouble with Greece or Roumania. The scheme made headway with difficulty at Belgrade because of the intense hatred between the two countries engendered by the recent war, but at last has won some support.
 The artificiality of the new king dom of Jugo-Slavia has caused the Belgrade government much trouble. Croatia has a strong separate move ment and Belgrade has great diff culty in making herself respected at Zagreb. The Serbian advocates of the confed eration believe such a move for the union of all Southern Slavs would remove many of the difficult ties now facing Belgrade.
 Proponents of the confederati ton have approached Allied represen taJ- tives to learn whether any objection would come from the big powers. They argue that the creation of such a union would make it impossible for the Balkans to become the source of another World War.

Germans Have
 Deserted Mexico
 For So. America

Mexico City, April 1 German i'm migration to Mexico has so decreased that not more than 600 have entered this country since the end of the war Herman officials have urged their countrymen not to migrate here at present but rather to avail themselves of the facilities offered for settlement m the South American republic of Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay Informa tion to this effect was given at the German eTnba ssy following in lquIr1es as to newspaper reports here that an official request had been made in behalf Of Germans for a concession of about 10000 acres of land in Goa huila.
 Denial was made that the Coahuila concession in question pertains to German cidens. Counsellor Fuhr- as serting that the request was made by natur3 hzed Germans in the United States, principally from Texas, who wished to form a colony near Las Nacas COahuila and desert their American homes.
 The only pretentious emigration from Germany to Mexico ended in failure" Counsellor Fuhr asserted. colonization company was formed of several hundred members who pooled their resources and purchased Ger man goods estimated to bring SS00,- 900 (peSoS) when sold in Mexico.
 Two men were appointed to ac- company the goods but unfortunately after they disposed of them they pocketed the money and have disap- peared. Meanwhile the would-be colonists embarked for Mexico in large numbers but since their arrival here they have been virtual wards of the permanent German colony in Mexico City inasmuch as they had in vested all their funds in the defunct company. One of the colonists, for instance. was a former German vice admiral. He Is now working as a laborer with a surveying gang and is glad of the chance"
 Declaration was made further that the Mexican government as yet has offered no inducements for German immi grafton beyond mere transporta- ton from the port of entry to the place of settlement. ContraSted to this is the policy inauguraed by the Plata Republics" Argentina, Urugu- ay and Paraguay, whereby colonists of established worth are providing with free passage from Germany and liberal grants of land Until other facilities are offered by Mexico and "homesteading," is made practicable, Counsellor Fuhr said his countI'ymen would be advised to stay home-

Find Footprints
 Of Old Army On
 Hawaiian Desert

Hilo, Island of Hawaii, T. H., March S-(Correspondenc of The Associated Press)-Footprints, 1SO years old, of an Hawaiian army that fled from the wrath of PeIe, goddess of the active volcano of Kilauea, near here are believed to have been dis covered in the Kua desert, south Of the great crater. by Professor T. A. Jagger. Jr-, in charge of the volcano observatory.
 Dr. dagger and This party was ex- ploring a region far removed from any of the known modern trails when they came upon an area thiclzly cov- cred with the imprint of naked feet, all pointing in the one direction, all deep at the toes and light at the heels indicating that the makers of tthe tracks had been running at top speed.
 The tracks originally had been made in volcanic ash, which is strong ly impregnated with sulphurous acid and gypsum and which when wet by rain. settles into a hard concrete, thus explaining the preservation of the i'm prints for a period believed to have stretched over more than century and a quarter.
 Hawaiian legend and history pro- vide the other side of the story, the connection between the Kau desert tracks and the flight of the army of Keoua, King of Kau, from Pele's wrath.
 Keoua led an army of three divis- ions against King Kameha meha who later united all the Hawaiian islands under his sway, in the year 1T90. This year also recorded the last ex- plosive eruption of Kilauea volcano. Hawaiian legend records the fact that some of Keoua's warriors rolled stones into Kilauea. crater to mark their dis respect for the goddess of the molten lake Whatever the reason for the burst. Pele rose in her wrath, and, with a terrific explosive eruption to- tally wiped out Hhe second division of Keoua's army.
 The footprints found in the Kau desert are believed to be those of men of the first division, who, seeing the destruction of their comrades in the rear. fled from the locality The third division coming up, saw the bodies of the annihilayted second and halted
 The area where the footprints were discovered is part of the new Kilauea national park, whicr will be de1icat- ed this year, and steps already have been taken to enclose the tracks and preserve them

Writers have long vied in their eff forts to describe properly the tooth someness, as well as the downright stupidity, of the ordinary domestic hen.
 Lawrence, age ten, for a number of years has been able to provide the most ample concrete evidence of his due appreciation of the former, but it was only recently that the latter was brought forcibly home to him.
 After vainly trying for some time to drive an obstreperous hen from the garden, he called to his father. sIScan't get this old hen out !"
 His father remarked that if Gen. eral Pershing had given up that cas- fly he never would have driven the,

Ousting of the Inefficient Army Officers

C ECRETAHY WEEKS has ordered y the beads of all branches of the army to eliminate officers who do not measure up to standards of military efficiency. Officers sho cannot give satisfaction in one branch will be tried out in some other and those who fail to measure up in any of the positions will be subject to retirement on small pay or discharged under the provisions of a recent law. In an explanatory statement the War department says:
 sThe basic principle in making as .signments is to have the right officer In the right place. The best interests of the service should always be para mount in deciding this question, and it usually requires a study of the oth- rer's whole record to determine it.
 An officer receives his base trainins in the branch in which he is commis- stoned, and must b~ fit for duty in his branch in peace and war. Shoua he not show fitness for any branch, then his case will be brought to the attention of the annual classification board.
 ssThere is now law providing for the elimination of inefficient officers, and the blame must rest entirely upon

A AMERICANS claim credit for the "A introduction of specially designed clothes for sport wear and their deyel- opment, through the past few years, into distinct kind of apparel for all "outdooring." Whether the glory of originating this idea belongs to them or not, under their approval it has grown into great importance. Wom- en soon perceived the virtues and ad- vantages of a garb expressive of pas times-its smartness, its flavor of youth and, above all, it's becoming ness; and now we have regulation sport clothes of many kinds, each kind designed for specific uses.
 The French will borrow an idea from any quarter of the globe and ex- pertinent with it, in the designing of women's clothes-the chances are they will improve upon it. They are too keen not to undertake to give Americans what they want and above are pictured two contributions of Paris for sport or outdooring wear.

It is espe- eially accommodating this season, with much disparity in silhouettes and long range of many materials to choose from-you may have it as you like it.

Harding Annuls Army Harness Contract

code prohibiting officers and employees Sf the government from having any interest in government property or contracts.
 "The facts developed by the attor- ney general led to the conclusion that these contracts had been entered into as q result of conspiracy on the part of certain former temporary officers of the army to obtain possession of thsse military supplies"
 The individuals involved in the ac- tion of the President, Secretary of War Weeks and AttornR General Daugherty, are former Col. George B. Goetz of Ranson, w. Va; former Maj. Joseph C. Byron of Hagerstown, Md; former Capt. Azel F. Cochrane, and former Capt. Henry c. Benke, all of whom held emergency commissions during the war.
 In July, 1920, the four men in quaS- tion, it is charged, prevented the sales to the public. In September, 1920, the United States Harness company was formed, and on September "A the con- tract between the company and the War department, which turned over all the surplus harness and saddles to the company, was signed.

NX NGTON.-ContractS for the w disposal of surplus army har- ness valued at $25,000,000, were ob- fained by a conspiracy among tempo rary officers of the army, according to Attorney General Daugherty. Acting on the advice of the attorney general, President Harding has ordered tke War department to declare the coR- tracts null and void. The following statement was issued:
 These contracts were entered into by the former director of sales, with the approval of Secretary Baker, and provided that the large accumulation of stock of surplus military harness and accessories were to be turned ovep to the United States Harness company, fo be reconditioned and sold or sold in its original condition upon a profit sharing basis.
 ''The grounds fer the recommends ton of the attorney general upon which the President acted were that these contracts had been entered into in violation of sections of the criminal
