Mr.. Derry, he said, was no longer with

Mr.. Proskauer also reported that he

the receivers have discovered that
in the sale of s4.000.000 of first mort

tory of the company was overstated
by sum in excess of s1.250.000. and
that the overstatement was concealed
by creation of alleged false records.
The report declared investigation

When a project for reflnancing the

After explaining the details by
which the alleged false records were
prepared, the report declared:
1T is thus clear that large part
of the apparent loss sustained i'll 1922
was simply loss sustained primarily
in the year 1920 and carried forward
by these fictitious entries concealed

Honor to Be Shared.

Memorial day belongs, first of all, to
the s'boys in blue" The holiday was es-
tablished in commemoration of the
soldiers who fought in the Civil war
and who by their sacrifices made pos
sible the perpetuation of the Ameri-
can Union. Today the memories of
s'61 are dim. A greater war has been
fought a war which was brought d.
rectly home to every American of the
present generation. There are recent
graves to decorate; there are honors
to be paid to the memory of heroic
Americans who went beyond the At
lantic to carry the message of Amer
ica's devotion to democracy and JUS
tice. Today, therefore, it is natural
for us to give first place in our
thoughts to the heroes of 1918. Their
story is a story Of yesterday; the
story of 81 Is an Qfttold tale Of the
misty past.

Of the past 1t long ago was realized
that we do the dead but small serv-
Ice If we but place flowers on their
graves and are content with that. The
living comrades of those who fought
and died were stirred by the memories
of the occasion to new resolutions to
make these sacrifices worth while, and
the extent to which their example has
been followed by all citizens has been
the measure Of the profit that has been
derived from observance of the day.

Legislation has been undertaken
in several countries including Eng

to require fathers to support chill
dren born out of wcdlock and to
make such children's right more
broad and secure. But France and
the Latin countries are doing moth

births decrease while illcgitimacy
increases.
The various countries are striving
in divers ways to stimulate the

Single girls and women who must

Millions were engaged in war work
or in replacing men who went to

the soldiers and the industrial slump
threw the majority Of these out OF
jobs.
WOMEN FORCED TO
COMPETE WITH MEN
Those that remained had to COM

soldiers demanding their places
back. Those that held their jobs
found their pay cut. Many were
given the choice of showing person

or seeking work elsewhere.
Laws passed for the protection of
women workers proved q handicap
to them; employers rather than COM

Willingness of many women to

unlimited farm and fruit pests which

There are at least 100 major plant

pests which have been imported, but
there are thousands Of other pests,

The opinion was expressed at Il

communications that the monopoly Of
foreign trade by the government as a
political weapon against the capital
istic countries, would not give the
same result in the Far East as it
would on the Western front, owning
