WOUNDED VETS STRIKE
 AGAINST MISS ROBERTSON
At First Refuse to Go On Picnic With Her as She Voted Against

Muskogee, Okla, July 10.-A picnic for the 60 wounded war veterans at the soldiers memorial hospital here sponsored by F. w. Mountcastle of Fort Gibson. United States commits sioner nearly "came a cropper" when the patients refused to go if Miss Alice Robertson, former member of congress and welfare worker went along.
 "She voted against our bonus while in congress" the spokesman of the in mates explained to Col. Hugh Scott, commander of the hospital who had just jumped down off high army truck, which he intended to drive to the. picnic.
 But listen boys" said the colonel. MT. Mountcastle has fixed up some nice watermelons, some ice cream and has reserved bathing beach for us. And besides the nurses want to go. You can't call off the picnic.'
 Well we'll go this time" the boys agreed after a conference. We don't want to spoil the nurses good time, but Miss Alice ought to be court martaled."
 Its just those heavy paiamas which the boys have to wear in the hospital that makes em that way" explained Miss Alice. Uncle Sam ought to have more sense than to is- sue them for summer wear" ,..

FEELING IN ENGLAND IS
 TO GIVE GERMANS HELP
Unofficial Talk shows Trend of opin- ion is to Take Own stand, Regard less of France.

By The Associated Prsss.
 London. July 10.--While no one in a responsible official position will talk for publication it is known that in certain quarters there Is feeling that England should help Germany If the Reich's condition is as weak as the French believe it to be.
 Britain, in the opinion of these au- thorities, could hardly afford to lose German trade and therefore the utter collapse of the Reich would be. disas- trous.
 Satisfaction over Premier Baldwin's promise of statement on the repara- tons question is generally manifest by the press and numerous attempts have been made to penetrate official secrecy.
 It is impossible, however, to add anything of consequence to the opin- ion that England may again bring forward her suggestion for the ap- pointment of international commits sion which would determine Ger many's capacity to pay. The possibl- ity of calling into service such a com- mission is discussed favorably in sev- eral quarters and hope is expressed that America would participate.

TO STOP INTERFERENCE
Trouble Between Radio Operators May Be Largely Eliminated As Re- suit of Govt Experiments.

Washington. July O.-Interference by different radio transmitting sta tions, the bane of the radio opera tors existence, may be largely elim- mated as a result of a series of ex- periments conducted by physicists at the United States Bureau of stand ards.
 The experiments deal with two main factors, directional antennae for transmitting and receiving, and the use of exceedingly small wave lengths.
 With few exceptions radio com munication has been conducted on wave lengths of not less than 200 me- ters, and there has been comparative ly little experimentation on shorter lengths The Bureau experimenters are using wave length of only ten meters.
 The directional antennae used ap- ply virtually the same principles in- volved in the searchlight. The waves from a small generating set are re- fiected by parabolc reflector of hanging wires, and just as the search light sends narrow beam of light in parallel lines for a long distance, so does the parabolic reflector collect and send out In almost parallel lines the radio impulses. At least 75 per cent of the radiated, power is said to be confined to an angle of 50 degrees.
 The apparatus as constructed is small, but strong signals have been received from it at a distance of two miles, using a single turn coil anten- ma six inches in diameter. The ad- vantage of using short length waves is said to lie in the fact that short wave stations can be more easily turned out than those employing lengths in the hundreds or thousands of me- ters.

ENGLAND PLANNING
 AIRPLANE SERVICE
Air Routes Linking Various
 Possessions Proposed

London, July 1o.-The latest plan for commercial aviation in England is the establishment of a British Im- perial Airship service which will con- meet England with all the British pos sessions by regular air routes. The first part Of the scheme, which was originated by Commander C. D. Bur- ney, R. A. F., provides for the estab- lishment of service of super-Zeppe- lins to Australia. This has been plac- ed before the air ministry and there IS every prospect of its adoption. The Burney scheme would immediately make England the foremost country In commercial aviation, and add con- siderably to the strength of the air forces.
 Success of Project
 The fact that England has not all ready gigantic fleet of commercial planes is not due to lack of enthu- siasm on the part of the commercial aviation companies. The English com panies now operating air lines to Paris and Holland, with the aid of subsidies from the government, are making a success of their projects,
 The government has previously been reticent in accepting these plans be- cause of the huge sums involved and the small chance of such lines ever paying, but it is now expected that the air ministry will push the establish ment of new air routes.
 Briefly the scheme provides for the establishment at once of super-Zep- pelin service between London, India and Australia. The Zeppelins will carry 200 passengers, goods and mail, and make the trip to India in three and half days and to Australia in week. Such airships will have speed of 80 miles an hour and will be capa- ble of nonstop flight of 12,00O miles about half way around the earth. This would cut the travelling time between these places to less than one-fourth the present time.
 Start in ii Months
 If the scheme is approved the serv- fee will start in about eleven months with a weekly service of passenger ships from London to Bombay and

Quoting Abraham Lincoln in ar address just before the Civil War Rev. Dr. George W. c. Hill in an address to the G. A. R., and Sons Of Veterans at dinner rendered the veterans in the Methodist church last evening, said that the situation is much the same today as it was Tn Lincoln's time when a Noisy and persistent minority was endeayoring to impose its wishes upon the will of the majority"
 Referring to the address made by Rev. John L. Davis last Sunday eve Hill said that he had not heard if and was therefore not in position to comment upon the manner or method of delivering the sermon, but added that with the general purpose that Mr. Davis had in mind he was heart lily in accord.
 He referred to the fact that the veterans of the Civil War fought to save the Union and that the United States is held together by the statutes and must be preserved in toto by all. No man." he said can use his own discretion in obeying one law and disregarding another.
 Calling attention to the youth of the city he said, With these youth before us, it is well for us to remem- ber that persistent disregard of any part of the constitution of the United States is liable to heget in them toward all the laws"
