JOINT DISTRIBUTION COMMIT
TEE SAVES 80 BARKS FROM COL
LAPSE IN LITHUANIA.

The eighty Jewish Peoples banks in
Lithuania have been saved from col
lapse by special loan of $4,000 for
the Joint Distribution committee 10 me
Central bank in Kovpo
The cisis, thus averted, was due to
the issuance of the Lithuanian govern
ment on October 1st of currency to
take the place of the German Mark
which had been legal tender since the
military occupation. This action cnus-
ed n run ON the hanks by dcpositors
whose savings We're in German Marks.
| Withdrawals became SO heavy that the
banks had extreme difficulty in meet
them. and the closing of their doors
have been the next step. The situa-
tion was aggravated 10y; the failure of
the government TO issue sufficient
.I.itas" in place of the abolished
Marks.
To meet the bank crisis the govern
ment offered the Kovno Central Bank
was too large to permit the Central
Bank to loan money to the subsidiary
institution. Realizing the dangers of
the situation, the Joint Distribution
committees representative obtained
permission from the director of the Re
construction Department to loan the
Central bank $4,000 at 2laT interest.
This money was at once loaned out to
the subsidiary banks so that they could
continue doing business until the con-
fusion due to the change Of Lithuanian
currency would abate.
The loan of $4,000 at 21afs made it
possible. also. for the Central hank to
accept the Governments offer. Normal
conditions have thus been restored and
loans to small traders and manufacture
crs resumed.

SWIM
TOO MUCHFOR
MRS. CORS0N
u. S. Naval Officers Wife
Gives Up Two Miles
From Goal.

DOVER, England, Aug. Mrs.
Cleminton Corson. wife of an Amer
lean naval officer, who set out to
swim English channel, was COM
PEELED by rough water early today
to abandon the attempt. She was
only two miles from the French
coast when compelled to give up.
Henry Sullivan Of Lowell, Mass,
who successfully made the hazard
Gus swim. returned to Dover today
from Calais by boat. He was none
the worse for his stay in the water
Of nearly twenty-eight hours.
Mrs. Corson encountered high
winds and heavy water and became
exhausted. She had been in the
water nearly fifteen hours when she
began to grow weary.
The Daily Sketch, which offered
$4,000 for a trans-channel swim,
stated today this prize would not
be paid to Sullivan because there
was no representative Of the paper
in the motor boat which accom-
panied HING but later reconsidered
and announced the prize would be
paid.
Sullivan was not unduly exhaust
ed after his long immersion. He
said he used the breast stroke
mostly and was always in good
spirits, sometimes joining in the
chorus of the songs of the boatmen
in. the launch which accompanied
him. His official time in the water
was twenty-six hours and fifty min
utes.
Once or twice Sullivan suffered
from sea sickness and the tide
threatened to sweep him seward.
The last eight hours saw a con-
tinuous struggle, owing to the
heavy off-shore wind.
Didn't Need Any Help.
When Sullivan reached shore ad-
mirers went to assist him from the
water but the doughty American
swimmer waved them off saying:
IT don't want any help at the fin
ish. i made the swim alone. But
you might give me some ice cream
and some soup. I am very thirsty.
l want lots of sleep. 1t has been a
hard job, but l defeated the channel
this time"
A telegram from Bolougne said
that the French swimmer Michel
began an attempt to swim the Eng
lish channel last night, starting from
a point on the French coast near
Bolougne. Up to noon nothing had
been heard Of him.

UNCLE CHARLEY
MOURNS DEAD
EXECUTIVE
White House Gardener, Who
Knew His Chief as Boy,
Keeps Lone Watch.

Obvious to the throngs of
mourners who surrounded the
White House, lone figure,
stopped with age and grief, kept
solitary guard at the door Of
the Executive Mansion today.
He stood apart from the military
honor guard. Tears were weiled in
his deep-set gra>Gsh-blue eyes
tears of which he was not ashamed,
and which flowed freely down his
rugged, weather beaten face, scared
by eighty-four years Of life in the
open.
To this bent figure-Charles Lee
dener at the White House-the
man for whom the nation bowed
revcrentially in sorrow today, was
always Warren" never Warren
G. Harding, twenty-ninth President
of the United States.
Uncle Charley" as the late
President called him, knew the de-
ceased Chief Magistrate when he
was a barefoot boy in Marion,
! typical of thousands Of other boys
IN American smaIIA towns. But
Uncle Charley took a particular
fancy to this lad and watched and
helped him in his early struggles
in newspaper work and in politics.
When Mr.. Harding came to the
White house he brought Uncle
Charley along.
"a more kindly man never lived"
Uncle Charley declared today as In
vain he tried to stifle sobs. 1.-THE
world never really appreciated how
great he was.
He was self-made, aggressive,
progressive, with the coGrage and
determination" here his words
died in tears and he returned to
his lonely post at the door of the
Mansion.
Uncle Charley plans to go back
with Mrs. Harding to the home
folks in Marion, ito help her as
long as she lives"

a small express wagon. They wait
ed at the crossing, which is unpro-
tected by gates, until an outbound
train passed. When they started
over the crossing Mazzino shouted
a warning of the approach OF an

FORD WARNS HIS
PLOYES TO
BUY COAL
Expects Miners Strike and
Fuel Shortage-Says
Public Will Pay.

DETROIT, Aug. 7.-Warning his
thousands of employees to prepare
against the coal shortage which
threatens the nation this fall,
Henry Ford has. announced that he
again will sell coke, coal and wood
to his men this year, at a cost ap-
proximately one-half that Of retail
dealers. Ford, as owner of several
coal mines, believes there will be a
strike Of miners and a resulting
fuel famine.
His announcement in the Ford
News says:
1T requires considerable effort
to stir up any degree Of interest
in the subject of next winters fuel
during these hot summer days.
Nevertheless, 1t is a matter which
requires immediate action on the
part Of employees.
1T is the company's desire to
supply every employee with coke or
coal, or both, in sufficient quantities
to take care of the coming winters
needs.
There is no doubt of the fact
that fuel Of all grades will be at a
premium later on and the public
will pay we'll for what it gets. Fuel
you must have-get 1t while you
can"

with their private displeasure.
Harding was as unapprOachable
by any such threats as even our
first President could have been. He
maintained the two essentials of
the Presidential office. He main
tanned it's personality and he main
tanned its purity.
Certain groups, indeed. endured
from him what they would not have
endured from any character less
manifestly president and less
manifcstly an American. They
seemed to say:
President and People One.
There he stands, and there he
| struggles piece of ourselves. We
see him BETTING the office. We
see the office uplifting him. We
wish we could make him under

case what speaks from him TO US
Is ourselves, struggling, enlarged,
heightened, and still struggling"
He thus brings back to Washing
| ton today unbroken the old tradi-
/ ton OF the oneness Of the people
| with the Presidency, and yet Of the
elevation Of the Presidency over
the people.
To one of themselves they gave
regal power, and he not only filled
| that power, but Rraced 1t.
Washington today honors him
and in honoring him honors what

PRISON FARM COSTS
GEORGIA 100000! 5.
KNIGHT. ASSERTS.

Asserting that the state prison
farm, at Milledgeville, is costing
Georgia approximately 100000 more
than the income derived from the In
stitution to operate it each year,
Representative Knight, of Berrien,
Wednesday stated he is planning to
conduct a strong fight for the pas
sage of his measure providing for
the sale of the place.
The Knight measure, now before
the house committee on public prop.
erty, provides for the creation of a
commission to receive proposals for
and 'effect the sale of the property
known as the state farm of the state
of Georgia., and to report it's action
to the general assembly.
lin 1915" said Mr.. knight, "a
special committee of the house and
senate voted unanimously to recon-
mend the sale of the state farm. 9th
er committees that have visited the
property know of the poor fertility
of the soil and recognize that the
farm is a poor investment for the,
state for its present purpose.
II maintain we should sell the
present site and purchase another
farm with the funds derived from
the sale. L have not included any
recommendation for new location.
in my measure, but it's specifications
leave this action in the hands Of +hs'
special commission which would be
appointed to conduct the sale"
Mr.. Knight said he had studied
the prison systems of other states,
learning that there is a general
movement under way to place all
such institutions on a selfsupport-
ing basis. THE state penitentiary in
North Carolia long has been self
supporting, it was stated.
The author of the sale measure
for several sessions had been a mem
Der of the house penitentiary COM
mittee, participating in at least two
Investigations conducted of the in.t
stitution. This year, however, he
was not named as a member of the
committee, being shifted by th9
speaker to the ways and means com.
mittee. I
