BRITISH LETTER
 AROUSES FRENCH
Suggests Early Evacuation Of
 Ruhr Doesn't Set We'll
(By Associated Press. ]

PARIS, Aug. 20.-The storm raised by the British prime minister's letter to France and Belgium, urging expedi- tion of the evacuation of the Ruhr, con- tinues to rage.
 Official circles, however, maintain that Mir. Macdonald acted quite natu- rally in the matter, using the only pro cedure available to him to make known officially apart from the London con ference, the traditional viewpoint of his government.
 It is further pointed out in these circles that the letter, dated last Sat urday, was written prior to Premier MacDonald's speech at the close of the conference in which he expressed grati. fieation at the happy solution of the Ruhr evacuation question, consequently letter delayed by purely fortuitous cir cumstances, can in no way modify Frances attitude nor diminish the sat. isfactory results obtained in London.
 This view is not shared by Premier Herriot's critics, who, reused to fresh fury by the letter, continued to attack him. Thus the Echo De Paris, nation alist organ, declares that, having de fined Frances new foreign policy al the London conference, NJ. Herriot must recruit a new diplomatic staff to put it into force, the existing staff being inapt to the task
 The newspaper hears, although mere ly as rumor, it adds, that Count Dt Saint Aulaire is to be successded as am bassador to Great Britain by Leor Blums, socialist deputy.
 Premier Herriot is to read a decla ration before both houses of parliament tomorrow, giving a complete repor of the work of the London conference

Assistant Attorney General

WASHINGTON, Al. 2O.-Wealthy and influential violators of the Volstead act will do we'll to keep out of the clutches of Mrs. Mabel Walker Willie brandt, assistant attorney general, as- signed to handle liquor cases, as she is going afterAhe higher ups.
 In report to Attorney General Stone the conviction of 37 persons in the Hamtramck, Mich, liquor conspiracy case.
 ''The rich received heavier fines and Those who had sinned with their brains were in direr plight than those who sinned with their hands," Mrs. Willie brandt said. Political power had no more effect than wealth. The twice vic. terious mayor of Hamtramck, with large political following, received two years, while Henne, a worker around the breweries with no influence, got only five months."

 Mars Trying Too
 But if there is, we can be sure that the inhabitants there are doing the same as we are doing, trying to find out about our nearest celestial neigh bor. If they are making attempts to communicate with us, now would be the logical time for them to exert every effort. eve can assume that if in- telligent beings live there, they are as interested in trying to talk with us as we are trying to communicate with them.
 'If we should, hy any chance, get anything from Mars, then would come the difficult task of finding out just what the Martlans were trying to do, how they were sending their impulses through the long gap of space, and how we might reply to them.
 %'Although Mars will not be so close for many, many years, 1t comes fairly close to the earth every 212 years. The next favorable time for further attempts at communication will be late in 1926. Perhaps we will have made vast improvements in radio by then, which will bring about some discovery or at least give us some clue"
 Government radio officials are divided as to the merit of Professor Todd's scheme. Some were skeptical of any results, but the majority, es- pecially army signal corps radio ex. perts, feel that the experiment is worth while, even though the chances are overwhelmingly against hearing any. thing.

TRAINMEN KEEP NEDTRALN RACE

Brotherhood Advises Its Members To Make
 Own Choice
lRx Associated Press. )

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 20.--In a circular mailed today to the 1S0,000 members of the Brotherhood of Rail- road Trainfnen, advice is given che members regarding political action, which will be repeated in the Septem- Der issue of the Brotberhood's officaI publication, in which President w. c. Lee says he "has taken the position that our organization should not indorse either Coolidge, Davis or La Toilette for president of the United States. 4
 Under the slogan, "indorsemeFit of candidates" the circular reads ::
 "The Brotherhood of Railroad Train men, through its conveE tion, has de- clared that 1t would not ally itself with any political party, but believed in following the policy of rewarding labor's frineds and defeating labor's enemies.
 To Be Independent
 ssThe adoption of this recommenda- tion committed the organization to iti- dependent political action, it declared that the time was not opportufie for the brotherhood to ally itself to any particular political organization. In keeping with this resolution the under- signed has taken the position that our organization should rot indorss either Coolidge, Davis or La Toilette for President of the United States. 1n- formation furnished this office by tho Washington legislative bureau shows the labor record of each of three above mentioned candidates for President to be as nearly 100 per cent in each in- stance as could reasonably be expected. We are advised the legislative boards in certain states were favorable to indorsing John W. Davis, in other states President Coolidge and in other states Senator La Toilette, This shows the confusion naturally following the indorsement by state legislative boards of candidates for president.
 "State legislative boards have been advised that in our opinion they should indorse neither the republican, demo- cratic nor independent ticket or party but instead should confine their in- dorsement to candidates for state of fices, including candidates for the United States. House and Senate.
 'aThe September issue of the official publication will carry the labor records of all candidates for president, United States Senate and House of Represen- tatives as furnished by the Washing ton legislative bureau,
 'HThe records of state officials as fur nished by those authorized, according to brotherhood law to compile them, will be published as soon as they are furnished the official publication. All members are urgently requested to re- view these records and determine for themselves how they should vote in to support the friends, of labor and defeat it's political enemy.p (Signed)

See NeU York For DaDis
 If Smith Seeks Reelection
Nicholson Shows Fallacy Of Figures Compiled
 By Senator Tess
By CHARLEs MICHELsON


 WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.--Senator Fess (R., Ohio) recently compiled a table of possible results in the cleo toral college in order to make his point that even if John W. Davis carries New York he will be 21 votes short of election, and that such an out come probably would throw the election into Congress, which, he reasons, would be likely to bring about the seat ing in the White House of Governor Bryan.
 The Ohio senator might have put it that if Governor Smith runs again this is the result he expects, for in re- publican circles the opinion prevails that on Smiths candidacy depends how New York will go.
 Convinced Smith win Run
 Incidentally the belief, amounting almost to a positive conviction, that Smith will run again is expressed among the high council of the Davis campaign managers, and, what is prob ably most significant, they refuse to tell what inside information has figures is that to get his totals he given. them this faith.
 The trouble with Senator Fess's assumes that New Jersey, Delaware, Indiana, Colorado, New Hampshire and Illinois will be for Coolidge, whereas nearly everybody agrees New Jersey will go as does New York, and that In diana, because of the McCray scandals, the Ku Ktux split, the New-WAtson feud and the alienation of votes to La Toilette is more likely to go democratic than republican.
 FeSs's Argument Defeats Itself
 The other states mentioned are all debatable and belong in the doubtful column. Hence Senator Fess's calcu- lations may we'll be taken to show that the hope of the country to es- cape from what he deems the menace of "a Bryan" in the White House rests in the election of Mir. Davis, for, with the deduction of Indiana and New ter sey, leaving the other doubtful states where he puts them, a clear majority in the electoral college for MT. Davis is shown; while even if Mir. Coolidge carries New Ys2rk and does not get New Jersey or sndiana, he would still be lacking Ahree of the necessary 266 votes, and the election would go to Congress.
 Senator sFess's ostensible thesis is that the electoral college should be abolished, so that there would be no chance that a minority candidate like La Toilette could balk popular majority; his actual target is to scare New York into voting for the Presi- dent. There will be a lot of this be- fore the campaign is much older, for the realization is growing that on New York alone depends the election.
 Fess's TabulatiOn
 The Ohio senator's tabulation was as follows:
 Certain for Coolidge--California, 13 electoral votes; Colorado, 6; Connecti- cut, z; Illinois, 20; Iowa, 13; Kansas, 10; Maine, 6; Massachusetts, IS; Michigan, 15; New Hampshire, { |; New Jersey, 14; Ohio, 24; Oregon, 5; Pennsylvania, 38; Rhode Island, 5 :; Vermont, 4 Washington, z; total, 21S.

VEGETATION POSSIBLE
Dark Areas On Planet Much

LOWELL OBSERVATORY, FLAG STAFF, AFiz., Aug. 20.-Tremendou growth in two dark areas near the equator of mars that a month ago were comparatively faint, was noted in last nights observations at Lowell observatory. The regions have been on the back Of the planet until the last few days and therefore were not observable in their entirety, but last night, they swung into a wider view and presented graphic evidence of the expansion in them that has taken place since the spring season began in the Martian Southern hemisphere.
 Glowing a faint blue green in spite of shimmering atmospheric conditions which temporarily hampered obseFva- tions, they suggest what the Lowell School of Martian astronomers believe it possible to be expanses of vegetation
 Offhand estimates showed their com. bined areas to be more than 100000 square miles. They averaged about 370 miles across and reached nekrly three-fourths of the way across the disk of the planet.
 Scientifically the regions are known as Mare Sirenum" and Mare Cim- merium." Latin for sea was applied before it was discovered that Mars has no seas or oceans.
