WILL MAKE STUDY IF INDIAN MOUNDS
Careful Study Will Be Made Of Indian Relics In
 Florida

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, chief of the bureau of American enthnology of the Smithsonian institution, left today for Florida, where he will make a survey of ancient Indian mounds and other antiquities of the pre- -Colum- bian Indians. with a view to making future comprehensive study of the prehistoric peoples of that region.
 There are many Indian mounds in Florida, especially on Tampa bay and along the southwest coast to Cape Sable. Dr. Fewkes said: some partly excavated and others untouched. Dis coveries of high scientific impor- tance have been made from time to time, especially of remains of dwell ings built on piles on ancient town sites which would link the pre-his- torio Floridians with those of Cuba. Traces of the latter were found by Columbus on his first voyage.
 Dr. Fewes does not expect to make extensive collections or excavations while in Florida, but expects to map out a program of considerable extent if indications point 1t advisable.
 We find in the early history of Florida frequent allusions to the land of Cuba, to which was affixed the name of Florida by early voyagers in search of a mythical fountain of youth.' pr. Fewkes said. There is no doubt that Florida was known tG the aborigines of Cuba before the coming of Columbus, and archateolo- gists are acquainted with the numer- ous mounds and shell heaps along the coast in the interior which may carry the history If the natives back into pre-Columbian times In the rapid development of Florida as a winter resort many of these shell heaps have been opened, aboriginal objects taken from them and other data lost"

LOVERS IF MUSIC PRAISE STUDY CLUB
Artist Concert Course Arouses Enthusiastic Comment On
 Artistic Merits

The artistic merits of the Music Study clubs artist concert course are cause for enthusiastic comment among Birmingham citizens closely affiliated with the musical world. The opinion of these individuals, speaking as they do from personal observation, bears the stamp of authority.
 Professor Miles: Classic dancing is one of the exalted phases of the act, and no artistic education as complete without a knowledge of this particular branch, either from the standpoint of the performer or the observer. The work of the Dun can dancers exemplifies classic dancing in it's most perfect form. Their performance Wednesday night should be one of the artistic treats of the season."
 Mrs. Oliver Chalifoux: Alberto Salvi alone is worth the price of the season ticket"
 MT. J. w. Donnelly: 'T do not pose as an authority on music, but the St. Louis Symphony orchestra with Rudolph Gang conducting Is to my mind most finished organiza- tion This should be a great draw ing card for the Music Study club since, according to present indica- tions, 1t is the only symphony or chestra that will be heard in Bir- mingham this season."
 Mrs. D. G. Chandler: "Sigrid Onegin has one of the most beautiful voices that it has been my good fortune to hear. This great contralto will give Birmingham both treat and a sur prise"
 MT. Hugh Martin: "I1rika Morini is a great artist and everyone inter ested in music should take advantage of this opportunity to hear her"
 Mrs. Larrens Block: The Music Study club is offering 6 phenomenal course of concerts this season. Freid- man alone is one of the greatest living pianists. This astonishing gen. jus with the other exceptional fea- lures surely represents a course that few cities can boast at any price"

LAUSANNE. Nov. 4-Eighty wit nesses, including Galaxy of inter national figures, will be called in the trial of Maurice Conradi assassin of Soviet Leader Vorowsky, which opens here Monday.
 Generals, dukes, princes and prin- cesses of the Czarist regime, soviet of ficials and allied officers will testify in details of the tragedy in the Hotel Cecil May 10 when Conradi shot Vorowsky, leader of the Russian dele gation to the Near East conference.
 Switzerland refused to accept re- sponsibility for the crime on the ground that the Russians had not beenf invited to the conference. Rus sia thereupon declared commercial boycott against Switzerland, and it was reported that Swiss in Russia were ill-treated in the excitement fol- lowing the incident.
 Conradi surrendered after the shooting. He will plead that there was strong provocation for the crime, his family having been persecuted by the Bolsheviks.

ARMY REDUCTIONS. BRING PROBLEMS
Enforced Cuts Make Defense Program Impossible, De-
 CIareS Adjutant General

WASHINGTON. Nov. 4-Reduc- tions in the commissioned and en- listed strength of the army, result ing from congressional action. have brought two extremely difficult problems to war department chiefs for solutions that have not been found, Major General Robert c. Davis, adjutant general of the army declared in his annual report made public today.
 "The effect of the enforced reduo- fion in the commissioned strength" he said. has been far-reaching. It has been found impossible to carry into anything like full effect the program for national defense in- eIuded in the act of Congress (the national defense act) approved June 4, 1920"
 Regarding the enlisted strength of fhe army, the report said:
 Another Obstacle Arises.
 The small pay of the recruit and fhe remarkably high wages paid for labor of all kinds throughout the United States have greatly dis souraged enlistment but since the
 
 stacle has arisen equally serious. In the act making appropriations for 1he war department for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1924, the follow ang appears:
 That no part of the funds herein appropriated shall be utilized for the recruiting or enlistment un- Jess the applicant furnishes a birth certificate or the affidavit of two disinterested witnesses showing such applicant for enlistment to be 21 years of age
 Makes Enlistment Unattractive.
 For many of the men who seek 10 join the army 1t is very difficult if not impossible, to furnish the re- quired evidence of their age and they are prone to make no effort to ob- tain 1t. Others, plainly over 21, re- sent the inputation that their word is not good and angrily give up the Idea of enlistment.
 ITO maintain the army at it's re- duced strength of 125,ooo, 1t is necessary between June 80. 1928 and January l. 1924, to enlist and rein list about 5o,o00 men and approxi- mately 24,0o0 between January 1. and June 30. 1924"
 General Davis added that the war hepartment had been unable to supply the demand for regular army officers needed as instructors for the reserve officers training corps units and for duty with the national guard and organized reserve. The depart ment has succeeded in supplying of ficers for the training of young men attending military training camps. he added. but only by depriving many officers of their leaves.
