GUARD ORGANIZATION
Chief Rogers Of Fire Department Has
List Ready for Signatures at
Headquarters

Endorsement OF the organization Of
national guard company in Olym-
pia was voiced at a meeting of Alfred
William Leach post, American
Legion, last night.
Indications are today that many
former service men will enlist in the
guard company to form the founda-
ton for splendid organization. The
list already signed up includes more
than half a dozen over seas vets and
many more who served in this coun-
try but did not get overseas.
The list is in the hands OF Fire
Chief w. w. Rogers at the city hall
where it can be signed.
Chief Rogers said this morning
that 20 young men of the city had
signed up to enlist in the company.
The required number before the COM
pany can be formed is IS and this
number the sponsors for the company
wish to reach at the earliest possible
date.
In addition to the annual two
weeks encampment, when members
Of the company receive regular army
pay, there. Is one drill night each
week for which the guardsmen are
paid, and they also draw nay for
parades and marches.
The company here will take a
prominent part in the social life Of
the community and will sponsor
many functions for the general pub
lie as we'll as the guardsmen, Rogers
said. The American Legion audi.
forum will be used as an armory
and, in addition to furnishing q
splendid place for members OF the
guard to enjoy their leasure hours
will bring in an income for the legion
post. as the state pays rental for the
armory used by National Guard COM
panies.

EUROPE PLANNING
NEW ALLIANCES
By EDWIN HULLINGER

by EUW IAN II OAA1NdGH
PARIS. Aug. 11.-Europe is in q
state of complete flux from the inter-
national political point of view.
Realizing that at least until the
League Of Nations amounts to some
thing each nation will be obliged to
have effective material means Of look
ing after it's own safety and interests
all the governments OF Europe are
feeling each other out, each hoping
to effect some combination which
would safeguard it from any possible
attack.
Even the former Allies are edging
around each other, to see just how
much the other can be depended
upon for real help in the future.
This accounts for the numerous lit
tie international crises which have
been figuring so prominently in Euro
pean news dispatches the last year,
each seemingly full of possibilities at
the moment yet generally passing
without lasting results.
1t explains the constant re-shift-
ing of "blocs' in Allied Council
chambers, first England supporting
Italy against France, then Italy and
France against England, and SO forth,
which is so bewildering to the Ameri-
can reader.
simultaneously, the various Allies
are also testing out their former enc
mics to ascertain which offers the
best timber for future friends.
France, for instance, is apparently
succeeding in lining up Turkey, that
is, the Turkish Nationalists, the real
power in the East, where both she
and England are so vitality interested
England, on the contrary, is placing
her money on Greece, now under the
pro-German constantine. England IL
also flirting with the Arabs, another
considerable force in Asia Minor.
Among the Allies, France and Bel
GUM have already pledged common
cause. When Quai D'Orsay makes 9
move, Brussels invariably follows IL
suit.
The pairing on of England and
Italy is less consistent, but the two
have held together on great many
questions since the peace treaty. Italy
however, occasionally sides will
France against Great Britain.
Poland has already become q pro
tege Of France, who IL using her a
a useful prod in the back Of Germany
France counts upon Warsaw for sup
port in case OF alteration with Ger
many. England. on the contrary, II
inclined more toward Germany and
against the Poles.
Russia remains the great isolated
question max ON the European diplo
matte horizon. England appears tt
tbe doing her best to effect a reproach
ment, with varying success. Russis
holds the balance OF power in Europe
and, until she casts her weight to on
group or another, no permanent ad
justment will be possible,

PETE HERMAN WON
ENGLISH BOXING FANS
BY DAVID L. BLUMENFIELD


NEW YORK, Aug. S.-When Pete
Kid Herman stood up in his boxing
boots at the Albert Hall, London,
some months ago, and calmly punch
ed little Jimmy Wilde round the ring
for seventeen rounds, the fans went
crazy about him. They had never
seen anything like him before. they
said. OF course, the little Welsh boy
was giving weight away and also
his hands were none too good but
still-Herman outboxed him!
In the opening rounds the Ameri-
can boy showed himself to be mitt
artist of the first degree. He made
Jimmy miss, and he measured him at
will cfossing his right like piston
rod whenever he wanted. Jimmy
Wilde certainly showed wonderful
pluck. That's all he did show. Other
wise he wasn't in the picture.
Herman has become a rage over
there. He hit their bantam champion,
Jim Higgins, with everything except
the bottle the other day.
Gus Platts, English middleweight,
is over here. Well, Platts is good
boy, but he is all in. He will put up
a good enough show with JOHNNY Will
son to keep him on his feet, think,
but that will be all. Platts has lost
his punch, as was demonstrated the
other day when ex-welter champion,
johnny Basham. out-opinted him over
twenty rounds the night Frank Cod
dard gave an elephantine dance with
George Cook, heavyweight champion
OF Australia. ...-.
Two years ago Platts stuck out
eighteen rounds with Ted Kid Lewis,
but too much credit must not be
given to that performance. The two
are great pals, and think Ted let
him down lightly. and gave the Shelf
field fans a treat--for the Kid can
box as we'll as fight when he Is in
the mood.
Lewis, OF course, is an anomaly. In
the ring he looks like a tiger. He ID
cool and calm and he never takes
his eyes on his man from gong to
gong. Bang him on the nose and he
still stares at you and comes back
for more. But outside! The Kid IL
a great, generous baby. He spends
his money like a railroad king with
two months in which to live.
The last saw Of Ted he was sit
ting in a London taxicab with the bi-
gest basket of fruit have ever seen.
The basket was tied up with a blue
ribbon and the Kid was taking It out
to q sick friend down with the grippe
Lewis is popular wherever he goes IN
England, although the referees are
none too kind to him. They won't lei
him might to bis satisfaction.
About ten days before left Eng
land saw him driving down tho
Strand. He was in a speed model
Stutx with the letters kid Lewis
painted all over it. A policeman pull
ed him up just by Ludgate circus fol
not sounding his horn.
The Kid grinned at him. That's
all right" he told the cop, you come
along and ask for me at my hotel
Well sound the horn, all right--a'

Color Blindness.

No fewer than 5o persons in every
thousand are more or less color-blind.
The commonest form is not, as many
suppose, inability to distinguish red
and green-that affects one person in
%. The most usual symptom Is uu-
certainty between blue and green. This
is experienced by one out of every 46
persons, but only one in 60 is unable
to distinguish between brown and
green. Color blindness is more com
mon among educated than uneducated
people and an odd fact is that musi-
clans are more liable TO this afiiiction
than are any other class or profession.

sILAGE FOR PRODUCING BEEF
Missouri College of Agriculture OUT
lines Satisfactory Plan With
Young Steers.

Highly satisfactory beef can be
made from two-year-old steers by
feeding corn as silage, together with
linseed meal and clover or alfalfa hay,
instead of full feeding shelled or ear
corn. according to the Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture.
One acre, yielding 40 bushels OF
corn. or eight tons Of silage, II fed as
silage, together with 1,733 pounds Of
liuseed oil meal and 1910 pounds Oh
alfalfa hay would produce 1859
pounds of beef and lib pounds o,
pork. If, however, the corn be fed as
shelled corn (full feed) and silage, to
cether with 30s.2 pounds of linseeo
meal and 345.2 pounds of alfalfa hay
it would produce 291.6 pounds of bee
