Official Explanation Issued

LONDON, Oct. II (By The Associ-
ated press) The British Foreign
Office to-day issued the following
statements:
There is no truth in the assertion
that there has been hesitation Oh the
part Of his majesty's government with
regard to acceptance of the Congress
sional Medal which the American Con-
grcss voted should be bestowed on the
British unknown warrior. On the con
trary, the American Ambassadors no
tltcAtion of the intention Of the Amer
lean government to bestow the decora-
tion was answered by Lord Curzon in
the warmest terms. The answer was
accompanied by expressions Of pro-
found appreciation Of the action OF
Congress.
at is deeply regretted that General
Pershing should, according TO the
press, have been inconvcnienced by
TIE delay fixing the date for bcstowal
of the medal. The delay was due 20
Inc fact that it had been hoped to ac-
company the announcement Of the date
With an announcement of the honor
which his majesty VIII bestow in re-
turn upon the American unknown, ami
IN that regard difficult points of pro-
ccdure arose requiring reference t.
different ministers and authorities,
many Of whom were absent from
London.
Reply Received From Pershine
"Nor was it realized until very re-
Gently tnat General Pcrshing's time in
Europe was 80 limited. As soon as that
was realized it was decided TO 40
longer delay arrangement Of the
ceremonies for bestowal Of the Con.
gressional Medal. General Pershing
consequently vas informed that it was
hoped he would iind it possible to visit
London for the ceremony before he re
turns to America and has expressed
his pleasure at the suGge Stion, OF
which he hopes to be able to avail
himself.'

LONDON, Oct. l1.--An invitation to
General Pcr5hing to come TO I,ondon
and decorate the tomb OF thc Rr;+isb
unknown soldier was dispatched hastilv
70 Paris last night by the British gov.
crnmcnt in an effort TO clarity the mis-
Understanding which arose over tho
Generals projected visit here. Govern
mcnt officials here deplorc the .itua-
tion which has developed and express
the hope that the whole matter can be
cleared up promptly. At The Foreign
Ofice belief was expressed tonight
that General Pershing would accept
tho bclated invitation and agree TO
conc to England for the ceremony
either Saturday, or more likely Mon
day, thrcc days before ne sails for
home.
The invitation sent last night asked
the American chief Of staff to name
a date that would be most convenient
for him.
Bureau Bungling Blamed
In official quarters to-day it was ad-
mitted that the apparent discourtcsy
done Pcrshing was due TO depf rtmental
bunglng and the Reorganization Of
the government departments when
Premier Lloyd George and his min
listers we're away in the Scottish High
lands.
The Foreign Office here received the
intimation that General Pershing was
planning to come to London for a visit
and that he was planning to bestow the
Congressional Medal Of Honor on the
British warrior, but officials did not
understand that there was any connec-
ton between the two matters More
over. the Foreign Office takes the att-
tude that the awarding OF medal was
subject within the province Of the
War Office. But the War Office re-
dent, asserting that it is the exclusive
business OF the Foreign Office to COM
municate with other governments.
"The whole business has been badly
bungled," says "The Westminster Ga
1ette.' The newspaper urges the i'm
portance OF issuing complete Official
statement on this side of the water to
clarity the matter as quickly as pos
sib]c.
King Overrules Council
According to "The Stars military
correspondent, the army council vas
opposed to accepting the American
decoration and had practically made
up its mind to refuse it when it was
announced that King George who also
had been up north in the Highlands,
had decided that the medal should be
accepted. Explaining the attitude Of
the military authorities, the CORE
spondent says that the placing Of 1or"
oign decorations on the tomb would not
be in keeping with the private. family
character OF the idea of tho unknown
soldier and it would involve the &C
ceptance OF an avalanche Of medals
from all the Allied powers. with the
result that che tomb soon would loos
like shop window"
Tho War Office now. however, is un-
derstood TO be fully in sympathy with
Che idea Of accepting the decoration
and plans to invest the ceremony with
the highest honors. Hope is expressed
on all sides here that General Pershing
viii overlook the incident and come to
London. where he is assured of the

EGGS FROM STANDARD

Lexington, KY, Feb 1s.--In spite
of the unprecedented drop in the
price of February eggs, Kentucky far
mers who have standardized Aocks
will continue to receive cents each
for their eggs, according TO a state
ment made here by J. Helmes Mar
ton, in charge OF poultry work at the
State College of Agriculture.
While the owner of the average
flock will be receiving in the neigh
forhood of "a cents for his product,
they declare farmers who have stand

ONE HOOSIER COUNTY
RID OF HOG CHOLERA

A county free from hog cholera
this year is the goal to which. swine
breeders in Eteuben County. Ind, are
working under the guidance of the
local county agent and the district
veterinarian of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. AS result
of persistent campaign for the con-
troll OF cholera and strict organized
efforts to eradicate it, there has been
remarkable decrease in the disease
in the county during the last two
years. In 1917 the loss from cholera
in this county. according to the county
agent. was about $4,000 In 1918 it
was little less than $1,000, and in
1919 it was about the same. In 1920
however, only three cases occurred in
the county. which leads the swine
breeders to believe that if their efforts
to control the disease are continued
cholera can be practically eradicated

CONSIDERED ECONOMY

As to economy, it is calculated that
the pipe can move coal at the rate OF
rs cents, possibly even so cents, a
ton, while rail transportation costs
Sass. The costliness of carriage by
train is due partly to II to 16-per-
cent coal consumption by the locomo-
tive hauling the cars to and from the
mining district and partly to reload
ing and transshipment expenses, aver
aging 25 cents a ton.
No construction difficulties face the
engineers who are working out the
details. Already the principle has
proved sound in its application to
similar material. such as earth and
stone, in hydraulic dredging, and re-
moval of ashes, not to mention oil
Fuel in a dry and powered state has
been sent through pipes by means OF
an air blast, the diameter of the tubes
being in some cases as small as in
a small installation of the kind having
been in operation in London, Eng.
for some years.
The application of the method on a
larger scale is only logical step in
meeting the exigencies of fuel cost
and fuel shortage in New York. The
means of obtaining this result are
simple enough, and within reach.
