BABY CHICKS TO GET

Step in Right Direction to

LAFAYETTE, Ind. Oct. g.
Plans for certtfcation OF baby chick
hatcheries in Indiana as sources OF
disease-free chicks were proposed
Wednesday at the meeting Of loo
baby chick producers and buyers at
the annual meeting Of the Indiana

attending the meeting Matched q

Poultrymen also were present from
Virginia. Illinois and Ohio.

put an absolute end to the abominable

will be forced to take some drastic
action in this case to do it."

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 17.-Beer

Man Barley Corn. today became the
dominant personalities in Ohio's No
yember elections.
Thrusting aside mere candidates and
partisan platforms a rejuvenated pro-
hlbltion issue forged to center stage.
The proposed amendment to the
constitution legalizing the sale and
manufacture of beer and wine makes
Ohio the Argonne of the vets and
drys. The League of True Temper
ance and the National association
against the Prohibition Amendment
declared adoption of the proposal
would permit:
Use of mild and healthful beverages
in the home.
Industrial peace and good will to
supplant unrest and strife.
Honest enforcement of hard liduer'
laws instead of dishonest persecution.
Protection of home and property
against search
And would prevent:
Sale of poisonous, bootleg whisky.
Prosecution for possession of intox-
1cat1ng liquors nor for sale
Rejection Urged.
The Anti-Saloon League on the 9TH
er hand urged rejection of the propos-
al on the grounds that:
1t would be in defiance of the fed
eral government and make Ohio a
notification state
1t would undermine the Volstead law
and destroy national prohibition.
The provision for 2.75 per cent beer
by weight is. misleading in that the
proposed amount by volume is in real
lty 3.44 per cent
Ihe present controversy, rapidly TAX

background of political warfare.

denied the proposed amendment

Then following mandamus proceedings
by proponents of the proposal, which
were carried to the supreme court, the
Secretary was compelled to submit the

U. S. SHIPS ARRIVE

Annoy, China, Oct. 17.-Approxi-
mately 1000 casualties are reported
at Foo-chow, capital of Fukien prov
ince as a result of an attempt by the
defeated national forces to retake the
city from which they had been driven
by the invading troops of General Nsu
Tsung-Chi.
Desultory fighting continued
throughout last Thursday and Friday
within the city walls, both sides los
ing heavily. A large portion of the
western half of the capital is reported
to have been burned and looting by
the soldiers was general throughout
the city.
Previous reports from Fukien were
to the effect that the city had fallen
to Gen. Hsu's troops last Thursday
and that Governor Ii Hou-chi had es-
capped to Formosa on a Japanese ship
which he had previously chartered for
the emergency. A Japanese gunboat
is said to have landed marines when
the battle started, to protect Nation
ais.

few days before proceeding to Hong
Kong. Admiral E. A. Anderson, the
new commander of the fleet, remain

SAN FRANCISCO GETS
1923LECION SESSION;
DISCUSS WAR FUNDS
(By Associated Press)

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. IT.. San
Francisco was awarded the 1923 con-
vention of the American Legion by ac-
clamation today. The committee on
time and place for the convention re-
ported that delegates from 80 states
signed the report. A delegate from
New Jersey moved that the report be
approved and delegate from Oregon
seconded it.
With the declaration of Hanford
MacNider, national commander, that
the American Legion regarded the in
terests of the disabled service men as
its first responsibility still ringing in
their ears, World war veterans began
the second days session of their con-
vention here with indications that the
rehabilitation question again would be
the chief topic under discussion.
In this connection the Legionaries
were considering the bulletin issued
to all post commanders by Lemuel
Bolles, national adjutant, advising
them that millions of dollars collected
during the war for the benefit of sol
diers and sailors rightfully belonged
to the American legion
Want Chest Funds
After citing court cases and decis-
ions and asserting the legion was the
one organization in it's class legally to
disburse the funds. the national ad-
jutant advised the commanders to take
proper steps to secure all war chest
collections.
The reply of Col. c. R. Forbers, di-
rector of the United States veterans
bureau to the legion rehabilitation
commissions attack on the govern
ment's record of performance in deal
ing with veterans, also was receiving
attention of the former soldiers.
In his statement Colonel Forbes dc
clared that the veterans bureau could
not be criticised for any mistakes
made under the first Langley Act in
asmuch as it had nothing to do with
the selection of sites or determining
the sort of hospitals to be erected. He
asserted that under the second Lang
ley bill, he had been given authority
and funds which had enabled the bu.
reau to establish a record of which
he was proud.
Government Blamed
The Leg:ons rehabilitation report
termed the governments record "a
series of tragic mistakes, postpone
ments. delays, alibis and politics"
After the business sessions today.
the veterans will turn to many social
and athletic events planned for their
amusement.
Last night hundreds of ''buddies"
were reunited and even through the
early morning hours details of battles
that held the front pages of newspa-
pers during the war period, were re-
counted.

LLOYD GEORGES FATE
WILL COME TO HEAD
IN THURSDAY MEETING
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE meeting of
Unionists called for Thursday at the
Carlton club will be of great import
ance, as it is almost certain to bring
the political crisis to head. Until
it's decision, whether to break up the
coalition or stand by Prime Minister
Lloyd George is known the situation
is not expected to develop materially
in any direction.
The attendance at the meeting is to
be confined to the Unionist members
of the house of commons and the
Unionist peers who are members of
the government. Thus it will not be
representative of the entire party.
The explanation OF this arrange
ment is that, when Austen Chamber
lain was elected in March, 1921, to
lead the Unionists in the commons in
succession to Andrew Bonar Law, he
was not chosen to succeed the latter
as leader of the whole party. and that
in fact, the leadership of the party has
been vacant since Mr.. Bonar Law re-
tired because of ill-health.
To Defend Faith
Accordingly, it is declared, Mr.
Chamberlain is not answerable to the
party as a whole and only feels called
upon to explain or defend his declared
faith in the premier to the commoners
and his ministerial colleagues.
While it is agreed everywhere that
the meeting will lead to events of ut
most consequence, opinions are much
divided as to exactly what will hap
pen on Thursday. It is admitted as
Just conceivable that a temporary
truce may be patched up. but nobody
places much faith in this outcome
The alternative views are, first that
Mr. Chamberlain defense of the coali-
tion and his adhesion thereto backed
as it will be by Lord Birkenhead and
Sir Robert Horne and perhaps other
ministers, will bring him vote of con-
fidence by a large majority.
See Coalition Fall
A second view is that the meeting
will declare against adherence to the
coalition, which would be equivalent
to a vote of no confidence in Mr..
Chamberlain as Unionist leader in the
commons. Those holding to the lat
ter expectation support it by contend
ing that practically half the constitu-
encies represented by Unionists have
declared against continuance of the
coalition and will look to their repre-
sentatives TO stand by them
1t is a fact. however, that many of
the Unionist members do not intend
to seek reelection to parliament and
may prefer to adhere to the coalition
ticket on which they were elected, not
withstanding the changed opinions OF
their constituents.
Speculation is busy as to what will
follow the meetings. decision which
ever way it goes. Some observers sup
pose that if Mr. Chamberlain gets his
vote of confidence Mr.. Lloyd George
