RELEASES OFFICERS

While good many of us believe in reduced
ornaments and all the other things which, if in
ternationaly accepted, would put an end to war,
it is certainly an unpleasant task that our "be-
nign and intelligent congress- requires of the
department Within short time, the depart
ment is required to eliminate from the army list
500 officers whose only offense is that they are
officers and that congress has limited the num-
Der to just so many. 'The United States today
is more defenseless than in 1916" declares one
army officer. Through the meddling of congress,
through it's stupidity, through its gross injus-
tices the United States army is not fit to engage
in battle with any first class power. In order to
maintain the morale of the army, officers cannot
be hired and fired as clerks
Perhaps congress does not realize that an
officer trains long time before he is prepared for
his work. Perhaps congress also is more inter-
ested now that election approaches, in making an
impression than in maintaining army efficiency.
Senator Calder of New York quotes Chas M.
Schwab: "a prosperous America can help the
world; PROSTATE America can ot." And in al
most the same breath he adds that protective
tariff is the only solution to the problem In
other words the senator would take money out
of their pockets and into ours and would dscour-
age their importation of goods into the United
States in order to reconstruct central Europe
and Russia.

New Haven, Oct. 30-John F. shan- ley, former state senator from the Eleventh district, who died from apopIexy last night served in the state senate from 1905 to 1913 inclus- i've, and was defeated for renomfna- tio7 in the Democratic primaries of 1914 by w. A. Bree, only by reason of factiona1 disputes which had brok- en out here in the party and which still exist.

 MT. shanIey had not been in good health for some time. having been struck over the head by a street pole which topp1ed over as he was passing He is survived by his wife and daugh- fer.

Airplanes Worry to
 New Haven Police

New Haven, Oct. 30-Presence of airplanes over the huge crowd of 76,- 900 persons who saw the Ya1eArnly football game in the Yale Bowl, Sat .urday, has caused the police of this city considerable concern. It is be- neved an attempt will be made to prohibit the flying of machines over the Bowl on the occasion of the Yale Harvard game. Fear is expressed by police officials that an accident to an aviator while flying over crowd like that which assembled in the Bowl Saturday, might result in the fall of the plane, the loss of many lives or injury of scores of spectators The fact that one or more of the aviators who flew to the game met wi1h slight accidents is emphasized in calling attention to the danger.

Simultaneously with the issuance of the the, young Woman's 5 appeal it was telegram to Governor Edwards, of New Jersey. asking for an explanation of the delay in arresting 'suspected'' persons.
 Miss iMlls asserted that. although he state had at first "bungled" it's investigation, Deputy Attorney Gen. eral Mott in charge of the investiga-. tion has since stated that he had suf- f1cient evidence upon which to seek indictments.
 "If that is so,'' declared Charlotte Mills, then why has nothing been done to bring about arrests of the guilty person or persons?'
 The telegram and the appeal were both strongly worded.
 'The unforgettab1e pain of losing my mother is still too keenly felt to make me think of using polite words said Charlotte Mills.
 Charlotte's appeal follows:
 More than six weeks ago the mur- dered body of my mother was found l do not know nor am I interested in the event that led to this crime which has aroused the entire country officials, elected by the citizens of New Jersey. were either grossly ig- norant of or indifferent to the duties connected with their offices; their work of running down the murderers These are harsh assertions, but can not help it.
