ASKS AID FOR JAILED YANKS

Altho he appealed to the Ameri-
can Red Cross and other orgahiza-
ticns to aid the 800 suffering Ameri-
cans in French prisons, c. n. Walker,
formerly vice consul general in
Paris. declares that all he got was
"the cold shoulder" He was told
that the men who got into jail deserv-
ed it, The prisoners, who are most
ly ex-soldiers, are without proper
food and clothing There is so much
redtape in France, he says, that in
dividuals can do nothing; an organi-
cation of some kind is necessary to
get results. The church prison COM
mission at Atlanta decided to investi-
gate the matter.

PANAMA PREPARES
TO GIVE BATTLE
Machine Guns And Forces Flashed To
Disputed District, Asks
L. =. Attitude.

Panama, Aug. 22-Panama is pre-
pared and ready to repcl the Costa
Ricans should they invade the disput-
ed COto territory. No definite ac-
ton will be taken, however. until T.
has been learned what attitude the
United States Government will adopt
toward Panama in the event the
Panamans oppose the taking over Of
CotO by the Costa Ricans.
Cable messages sent by the Pana-
man Government to Washington with
the view of ascertaining the Ameri-
can Governments attitude toward
Panaman resistance to Costa Rican
occupation of Coto have not been an
swered.
Armed men to the number of $50
have been ordered to proceed to Coto
from David. They will take with
them ten machine guns which were
purchased in the United States last
April
Secretary of Government and JUS
tice Alfaro has given orders to Cher
of Police Arrange to hold the entire
police force of Panama and Colon in
readiness to march to CotO. Identi-
cal orders have been sent the heads of
the police forces in interior towns.
Mayors have been ordered to revise
their volunteer lists and to advise
these men to be ready for an emer-
gency.
Marines May Not Fight.
Washington, Aug. 22-The battal-
ion of marines which & now en- route
on the battleship Pennsylvania to
Panama, was sent purely as a pre-
measure and State De-
partment officials do not believe that
the men will fire a shot.
Owing to the fact that feeling in
Panama has been considerably |
up at the prospect of having |
to surrender a strip of territory to |
costa Rica under the terms of the |
White award which Secretary Charles |
Evans Hughes has decided must be 4
enforced, it was felt that there might 1
possibly be some slight disorder and |
marines were therefore sent.
1t is entirely possible, State De
officials said, that the ma
rines will not even be landed on
Panama territory
Under our treaty obligations it is
he duty of the United States to guar
lntee the territorial integrity of Pan
INA, and in order o do this it is
Necessary that the United States
hould know just what that territory
consists of.
In view of this obligation, il is
cit that this Government is in a way
esponsible for Panama's carrying

SCIENTISTS GET
HOLD OF GHOSTS
European Investigators Weigh and
Photograph Substance
Called Plasnia.

New York, Aug. 2O.--Chosts at
las have been hog tied" taken 'rtc
the laboratory and weighed and pho
tcgraphed. It's been done by three
European scientists, DIR. c. Galley. of
Paris; DR.. A Won Schrenck Nothing,
of Munich, and the late DIR. W j.
Crawford. of Belfast, Ireland
Investigations by these three men
have been in progress for twenty
years. but the current issue of Popu-
lar Science Monthly only now throws
real light on the importance of their
discoveries.
The scientists have found that
phantom faces do appear in spirit
ualistic seances, that tables can be
lifted, that bells can be rung and that
supernatural messages can be receiv-
ed.
All this done, they say, thru the
agency of a mysterious lacelike mate
rial thrown out from the medium s
body which they call plasma. It's
ghost substance.
What PIasma Is.
Plasma. they say their experiments
show, is a material substance, highly
sensitive to light but which can he
felt and photographed, altho it is nor.
mally invisible.
1t is a substance that can assume
the shape of hand or face or even
an entire figure; a substance that can
move an object. And it is thrust from
the bodies of mediums!
DR.. Won STRENGTHENING is quot
ed as describing one seaHce with the
Polish medium Stanislawa:
she would keep her hands about
six inches, apart, fingers extended,
and wrists on the table. She would
wait for a prickling sensation to oc-
cur as forerunner to the plasma
She would then make a
few passes over a small aluminium
box placed in front of her This, she
explained was to make a connection.
Her fingers still kept three-quarters
Of an inch from the box, moving along
parallel with the table. when sudden
ly the box turned, tried to rise on one
side and then fell back

Mechanical Test.

plasma mechanically. He even |
it. DR.. Won Schrenck Not

skin in cellular structure.
The fact that these three scientists. !

fields of scientific research.

settlement was made in 1928 at

this northern section the District .
