 Hereafter the war and navy com- missariats will be merged into ono department and the army comman- ders will be clothed with full power to deal with all matters. whether of military, economic or administra- tive character. Up to the present time a dual commandership has existed. with military leaders and political commissars."
 The chief function of the political commissars. who In all cases were Orthodox communists, was to watch the conduct of the military com manders, who in many cases were former Czarist officers. All their acts not in consonance with the Bal shevik principles were promptly re- ported to headquarters.
 With the appointment as com- manders of many officers of peasant and workman origin. whose loyalty to the communist cause could be ful- ly trusted. the army authorities de- cided they could safely abolish the political commissars. Only a limit ed number of them will be retained, And these for the purpose of edu- eating the soldiers in political and party principles.
 The war council authorized an in- crease of 3s per cent in the officers salaries, which brings the monthly wages of regimental commander to about $s0. New national military units will be formed In Georgia, Armenia. Azerbaijan. Karelia and various republics within the soviet federation.

 As to whether or not there are spe- cific causes suggesting to General Ash burn the necessity of his going to Mo- bile and Birmingham, he did not say.

'MA' FERGUSON
 TO AID TICKET
Will Serve As SpelIbinder In
 Anti-Klan States

NEW YORK, August 3O.-'Ma' Ferguson is about to enter big time politics.
 The motherly woman, who will be the first of her sex to rule sovereign state of the Union-her election is certain for. the democrats are as SUI preme in Texas as the Dutch are in Holland-will be one of the chief speakers in the campaign for John w Davis, unless present plans of demo. cratic managers miscarry.
 A year ago, Mrs. Miriam A. Fergu son, democratic nominee for governor of Texas, was just the wife of Farmer Jin' Ferguson, who was impeached driven from the governors chair anC deprived of his rights as a citizen oi Texas.
 Now she is a picturesque nationa figure as a result of the walloping shC administered to the Ku Klux Klan ii the race which she entered after al name placed on the ticket had been ex hausted.
 The democratic managers intend tt capitalize her fame, it was learnet Friday. Mrs. Ferguson, it is under otOOut Hdo COuSSHIcu JU OO ueE par for the national ticket.
 When Ma" Ferguson swings int, action as a spelIbinder it is the plal to use her in the anti-klan states O the east. The democrats also wish t presnt her to the women voters as al example of the advantages offere, women with political aspirations b, ] the Democratic party.
 Ma" Ferguson, according to demo cratic leaders who know her, is not feminine Demosthenese. In fact sh did most of her talking in the cam paign through her husband, contrar to all feminine traditions.
 But that makes no difference to tn democratic managers. They know tha she is a college graduate and if occa sion demands, she can make q platforr speech and tell the people what Texa did for her and the klan.

 preached, the roar was deafening and thousands of hands and gaily eolored the cabinet members the prince, ac- companied by Secretary Hughes, drove directly to the station where his spe- cial train awaited him.
 His departure was about 30 minutes earlier than had been expected, and as a result, only moderate demonstra- tions were afforded him on his drive to the station. Quite a number of enthusiasts, however, were already sta toned outside the White House. Along the route he was hardly recognized, due to tn intns intrst of tn crowds following from nwspapr SCOT boards tn progress of the New York-W ashing- ton baseball game at New York.
 At the station his arrival so much earlier than had been expected on the other hand, created great commo- ton. A dense crush of people, kept at a considerable distance by police, watched and cheered him as he stood on the platform of the train waiting for the departure. As the train began moving, last thunderous shout sped the prince on his way, who stood with his hand raised to his hat in military salute until he was no more discerni- ble.
 President Coolidge; Mrs. Coolidge and their son, John, awaited the prince in the Green room at the White House. Secretary Hughes introduced the prince to the presidential family, and then re- tired, leaving the prince to be enter talned at lunch by the Coolidge family alone. After the informal lunch, cabil ,let members and their wives were re- eeived for presentation to the prince.
 Before leaving, the prince, wishing to express to the Washington people his appreciation for the warmth with which he had been received addressed to them a message as follows:
 To the people of Washington:
 T would like to express my very deep gratitude to the people of Wash ington for their kind welcome to me on this hot day. To have the chance of paying my respects to the chief execu tive of the United States has been eagerly anticipated by me, but did not expect that affectionate reception which the citizens themselves have afforded me.
 Ny present visit to this country is purely holiday one, but the charm of it is enhanced by the manner in which it is being received in all quar- ters. l thank you all very much.'
