viting the governors of the various
States to cooperate fully in the
observance of Defense Day, are
today working feverishly to perfect
their plans for holding the defense
test on July instead of on
Armistice Day. All plans were laid
with the November date in mind,
and as a. result of President Cool
idge's disapproval of that day, the
time for perfecting plans has been
correspondingly shortened.
Acting Secretary of War Dwight
r. Davis is confident, however, that
there will be an enormous turnout
of patriotic citizens on July 4.
It has been pointed out, however,
that July falls on a Saturday
this year, and the probabilities are
that thousands Of people who
might have otherwise contributed
TO the celebration of the day will
go on picnics. vacations and week
end holidays instead of attending
the defense celebrations.
Last year. over 5000 cities and
villages celebrated the day and a
falling off in that number is also
expected this year as many of the
National Guard units will be in camp
in centralized points.
Orders have already been issued
calling a large number of reserve
officers to Washington for active
duty and within the next few days
a. large additional number will be
called here to assist the War De-
partment officials and General Staff
to complete their plans.

PUBLISHERS POINT
TO INJUSTICE OF
z0NINC SYSTEM
Continued from PAGE One)

gusta, Henry P. Clearwater of Halo
well and j. Hugh Montgomery OF
the D. P. Ordway Company of Cam
den.
And in the third of the more i'm
portant phases, publishers and busi-
ness managers of several Maine
daily and weekly newspapers testi-
fed before the committee as to the
effects OF the new postal rates on
their particular businesses.
The members of the committee
were obviously impressed when they
learned of the volume of the second
class mail which is dispatched
through the Augusta postoffice from
the two big publishing houses here,
this combined circulation of the sew
eral publications totaling over $780,
600 monthly. The particular point of
protest of the Augusta publishers
was the disadvantage in which they
are placed by the coming system as a
very considerable percentage of their
tremendous circulation is in the far
zones and comes under the highest
rate.
Answering the questions of mem
bers of the congressional committee,
Postmaster John C. Arnold said that
the Augusta postoffice, which at the
present time was a first class office,
might be relegated to the second
class If the city should lose the vast
volume of second class mailing due
to the publishing business, or If the
Augusta magazine houses adopt the
system of shipping by freight to Sc
lected points for re-entry of their
magazines in the mails. to secure the
advantage of the near zone rates.
Postmaster Arnold told the COM
mittee that for the fiscal year ending
June 80 last, the revenue at the Au-
gusta postoff1ce was approximately
$6S5,000 and that of that amount
s401,0o was on the second class mail
matter.
Congressman John E. Nelson of the
second Maine district spoke briefly in
behalf of the large publishers, who
were present to present their cases
before the committee of inquiry. Con-
gresham Nelson mentioned the i'm
portance of Augusta as a publishing
center and outlined something Of the
volume of the business which in the
two plants pays an annual payroll of
about 100000. Because Of these pub
lications Augusta ranks among the
first six postoffices in the country in
the volume of its second class mat
ter. The Viclery and Hfll list has
monthly circulation of 1,650,000 and
its patronage is largely in mail order
advertising.
The Gannett publication, "Com-
fort" has a circulation of a million
monthly, and also depends fo- its ad-
vertising revenue on the mail order
businesses. The Gannett company
paid the government for second class
mail postage in 1924 about 1921 900
and the ViclSery and Hill company
paid $313,000. The immense circula-
