Morale of Officers
of Army Shattered
By Impending Slash
PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. "a
While the threat of grave domestic
disturbances still hangs over the
country, congress is informed by re-
liable authorities, including Henry J..
Reilly, editor-in-chief of the Army
and Navy journal, who holds the rank
of brigadier-general in the reserve
corps, that the morale of the officer
corps of the regular army is shattered
And General Reilly predicts that the
morale of the entire army will be
shattered
Members of congress have been in
formed that the discomfort of the of
ficers of the regular military estab-
lishment has its source in that pro-
vision of the recent army appropria-
ton act which requires a consider
able reduction in the officers corps.
This reduction must be carried out
by the first of next January and the
''plucking" board appointed by the
general staff is now at work selecting
the officers who will be placed on
the retired list under the provisions
of the new law. Naturally no officer
know whether his name will appear
on the list of those who will be re-
tired and in consequence, the officer
corps seethes with unrest
Would Retire ,34e
When the army appropriation act
was before the house last June, the
statement was made by one of the
members in charge of the bill, that il
would require the retirement of about
500 officers of the line The general
staff has announced, however. after
a careful study of the provision of
the act, that the actual reductions
in the line of the army amount to
1,349 officers.
Congress is being urged to repeal
that provision of the army act requir-
ing the retirement of so many officers
who are physically fit for active ser
vice, but it Is hardly probable that

COAL CONSERVATION
REQUIRED THIS YEAR
FORECAST OF SEARLES
(By United Press)


WASHINGTON, Aug 24.-Lightless
nights, curtailed street car service,
closing down of non-essential indus
tries and other restrictions practiced
during the war and postwar coal con-
servation periods, probably will have
to be duplicated this winter, Ellis H
Searles, editor of the United Mine
Workers Journal, forecast today.
Searles, who has made a careful sur
vey of the fuel situation believes the
railroads Of the country will not be
able to haul all the coal that is mined
and required to meet the business and
domestic needs.
While the federal government i;
now rationing fuel, 1t will have to gc
much further to save the people from
suffering and business from serious
embarrassment this winter, Searles
said
/ Cities Must Act.

of 1920, then the states and cities will

From now on until the end of tn,
coal year, April /, 1928, they will hav

tons weekly to meet the normal de
mand and the extra requirement
caused by the exhaustion of The re

According to all reports the raj

history, due to bad order engines an
equipment, caused by the strike O
shopmen. Even if the railroad strik
is settled today, the railroads coul
not begin to haul the fuel that 500

quirements.
Right now it is not a matter O
how much coal can be mined, bu
how much coal the railroads ca
haul Within the next few days tn
mines will be producing coal at tn
rate of from 100000 to 100000

Indiana Industries Feel

CAUGHT 2s.ooo.ooo Fish.

Fishing is not like farming. The
farmer can reckon pretty well what
his crops are going to yield, but the
fisherman merely guesses.
Our East coast fishermen, for in.
stance, guessed that they would be
visited in the middle Of last Septem-
Der by herrings. But the herrings did
not come, according to London An
swers. Then, when all hope had
been relinquished the herrings turned
up one day-some 2s,0O0,OOO Of them
Perhaps the late summer had maue
them lose count Of the calendar and
Fishermen who had been looking
glum returned with beaming faces
Three hundred and fifty boats, after
dreary days of waiting, came back
with loads averaging 80 Grams each
that is. $4,000 herrings. Some boats
had more, one bringing in 100000 fish
The total fish landed In one day
equaled 2S,OOO.OOO, with millions more
to follow.
Herrings, like swallows, have their
migrating periods. The swallows fly
free, but the poor herrings-or a
goodly portion Of them-are cooked
and eaten.

Asleep.

The Woman at service could not re-
sist the temptation of watching man
on the opposite side Of the church
who had fallen asleep during the mid
die Of the sermon. He did not snore
or create any disturbance, and he
looked so comfortable and peaceful
that his neighbors smiled at each 9TH
er indulgently and did not rouse him.
The Woman speculated little on
how and when he would wake up.
When she had worked it out to her
own satisfaction she again bestowed
her attention on the sermon, still
keeping half an eye on the man
asleep.
At the close Of the sermon, when
the congregation knelt, the man evil
dently sensed the stir around him as
that of the audience departing. He
stood up quickly, grabbed his hat and
overcoat and started to make his exit.
Then he did wake up-Chicago Jour-

superstition Among French People.


That superstition and belief In
witchcraft and sorcery are not dead
In France was shown the other day
in the case of a young Partisan girl,
who, acting on the advice of fortune
teller, buried a calfs heart in wom-
ans grave in order to recover the af-
fection of her faithless lover.
In the provinces such cases are
common. There, are villagers who are
popularity believed to cast spells over
their nelgh5ors; magicians and sor-
cerers in the back valleys of the
Loire and on the lonely Landes OF
Brittany who WELD mysterious power
and call up unseen forces Of good or
evil to sooth or terrorize the peas
ants.
Frequently French superstition finds
comfort in "gooa spirits" in the form
of magicians who are learned in the
art of discovering buried treasure or
Of healing the sick. They are reputed
to hold converse with the spirits OF
the departed and are consulted by
their neighbors on family affairs like
wills or marriages just as the Oracles
were consulted in ancient times.

Will modern lovers elope by air?
1t is on record that at least one en-
terprising couple have made such an
attempt. Unfortunately the>plan was
nipped in the bud owing to unforeseen
circumstances But there is little rea-
son to doubt that before long aerial
Don Juans will soar away with their
fair burdens.
1t is interesting to recall the vart-
Gus means Of effecting elopements.
They are as old as time. First they
took place on foot with perhaps the
aid of a rowing boat to help cross a
river. Horses, too, were in great de-
mand and many happy maid rode
pillion snatched away from under the
very eyes Of her irate parents. Later
came the coach to aid Romeo and Juli-
ct and what gallant "my love against
the world" air it added to the romance.
Trains and automobiles have also
played their part in "love's young
dream" but the future "stunt" will be
to elope by airplane.
The alrplane wooer will have to be
on his guard against the vigilance Of
the law which has already found the
flying machine useful in the execution
of Justice Thus a policeman in Los
Angeles attempted to arrest Jap
anese aviator for debt. The man
promptly flew off while the policeman
gave chase in an automobile. The
pursuit continued until the aviator was
compelled to come down through lack
of gasoline.
A somewhat similar occurrence
took place in Florida, negro serv-
ant in fashionable hotel stole very
valuable brooch. He ran away but de-
tectives discovered, by means Of wire
less, that he was on board ship off
Bermuda. The vesseI was delayed
few days off the coast while it was
decided to bring him back by hydro
plane. the machine being offered by
Harold Mccormick. The owner, ac-
companied by detective, acted as
pilot. In a few minutes they were
