LONDON, Oct. 27.-(By the Asso- ciated Press) The election campaign has now reached a stage where there is such number of political speeches and announcements that it is becom- ing almost a physical impossibility for the newspapers either to report or follow them.
 Herbert H. Asquith, former premier and Winston Spencer Churchill, colon ial secretary in the Lloyd George cab inet, were the two principal figures engaging attention today. Mr As quith's address was devoted chiefly to criticising the coalition governments shortcomings and the new Bonar Law ministry.
 We have today the unusual specta- cle of two authors of coalition, Lloyd George and Bonar Law, writing rival epitaphs to carve upon its tomb de- clared MT. Asquith.
 Describes Wings of Coalition
 The speaker described the two wings of the coalition, hitherto in the same stable, as now separated, but still neighing wistfully over the tenn porary paling separating them. He alluded to Reginald McKenna, former chancellor of the exchequer, and now director of the London City and Mid land bank, as the sixth party in the election and declared he was surpris- ed to find him on Tory platform.

 Later in the day Secretary Denby brought out this sailor love for valor when he bore another floral tribute to the monument in the mall to the memory of John Paul Jones. A jacky band, lusty of lungs, led the way with such rollicking old-time sea ditties as Nancy Lee" to keep sea-going legs swinging At the monument the tune changed to Anchors Aweigh," the fighting chant of the midshipmen at Annapolis.
 While the navy itself was thus pay ing homage to American valor, off cials of the navy league were busy with preparations for the banquet which concluded Washington's share in Navy day celebrations. A host of distinguished men were present when Secretary Denby rose to make his for nal speech of the day. President Harding, who, 1t had been announced, would speak at tonight's dinner, was unable to be present.

 With an assertion by MT. Mott that he had found a witness to corroborate at least part of the story told by Mrs. Jane Gibson, farmer, who calims to have witnessed the double shooting and identified two men of the death party, this cryptic statement consti- tuted the chief development of the day.

 Whence this girl came and whither she departed remained unknown. The troopers admitted that they had taken her to Derussey lane, leading to the Phillips farm, at the direction of MT. Mott, but they declined to state the purpose of the journey.
 They wandered up and down the lane, which played so big a part in Mrs. Gibson's graphic story of the shooting, never getting out of sight of the crabapple tree under which the bodies were found. Later, the troop CTS brought the unidentified girl back to town and she disappeared.

PAN-AMERICAN CONFERENCE

The conference of women from the countries of
North and South America, to be held in Washing
ton, D. c., April 1929, under the auspices of the
National League of Women Voters can accomplish
much good if it directs it's energies along the right
lines. The peoples of the Central and South Amer
lean republics are harboring a growing suspicion
of the United States. This is due partly to our
failure to recognize the Mexican government, be-
cause American oil interests exploiting that coun-
try do not like Mexican taxes and Mexican efforts
to protect their natural resources. It is also
partly due to the hgh-handed acts Of our govern
ment and navy department in establishing foreign
military governments Haiti and Santo Domin-
go, formerly independent nations. The co-opera-
tion of American women in helping to change these
stupid, miitaristic policies. of government
would go long ways in reassuring the peoples of

Physical Training

The facts in regard to the physical condi-
tion of young men examined by draft boards
during the recent war are the chief argu-
ments used by interests which would bring
about compulsory military training in the
public schools. "Look how unfit physically so
many of our boys are" they say, pointing to
draft board records. eve need military
training to give them strong bodies.
strong, able, well-balanced mind can not exist
in a physically unfit body"
True enough, so far as the last sentence is
concerned. But the fallacy and sophistry of
the above argument are plain when we con-
slider the fact that we can have physically fit
boys and young men WITHOUT the goose
step and the demoralizing psychology of mill
tarism. If the truth were plainly spoken, we
would know, that the imperialists and mill
tarists do not want military training in the
schools to improve the health of our boys.
They want it to poison their minds, not to
improve their bodies. ..- ~
There is a bill in congress to help and en-
courage physical training in the schools with
out militaristic accompaniment. Many wom-
ems organizations favor it, because the move
is good in itself, and because it furnishes a
final answer to the argument that we must
have military training to get physical fitness.
At least the discussion of the bill and of the
general proposition of remedies for physical
imperfections in our youth, will do much to
: lay low the false arguments of the military
training advocates.
What do women readers of the Leader
think of the proposition?
