pires in Paris

PARIS, Sept. IRENE Viviani,
former French premier and one of
the most distinguished statesmen of
France, died today.
M. Viviani, though not in the
political foreground at present, has
long been prominent in French
politics and has served his country
as premier and in other capacities.
He headed the French delegation
to the Washington Disarmament
Conference.
M. Viaiani has been in a sana-
forum for the past six months
under observation.
Always a man Of intense energy,
explosive in his manner, fierce in
bis likes and dislikes. NJ Viaiani has
undergone during the past decade
sever mental strain.
Six months ago his condition was
such that il was deemed advisable
for him to enter a sanatorium for
observation, but his illness was not
a matter of public knowledge,
although it had been noted that
he had disappeared from the ever
changing political picture. Heart
failure was the immediate cause
Of death.
Viviani was born November 8,

family of distinguished barristers

Trial of Col. Mitchell

Department alone will handle the
case of Colonel Billy" Mitchell,

Service. There will be no White
House interference, either pro or

President Coolidge, it was indi-
Gated here today, has no intentions
Of ejecting himself into the latest
controversy the erstwhile flying gen.
eral has stirred up by criticising the
air policies of the War and Navy
departments.
The President believes that his
representatives in the War Depart
ment are perfectly able to pass
judgment on Mitchell's latest TRADE
and determine whether or not he
should face court-martial.
1t is thought here, however, that
should Mitchell be given a military
trial, President Coolidge would let
1t be known he would like to see
open hearings in order that the
former assistant chief of the Air
Service may get his case fully be-
fore the public.
Last spring when Mitchell was
battling his superiors before Con-
gressional committee there was
strong movement to have him
court-martialed.

Mrs. L. A. Culver, Jr., of Veeders-
burg, Ind, has paid $4,000 to the
Atlanta Trust company for 1900
acres of land about two miles west
of Leesburg in Lee county, which
will be devoted to the production of
tobacco, F. L. Allison stated this
morning. This sale, while pending
last week. has now been closed, Mr..
Allison of the trust company, stated

Mrs. Culver states that she will

co. Her brother-in-law will come

and will be in active charge of the
farm.
While in this section, Mrs. Culver

the idea of moving to this section for
the manufacture of brick if the right
kind of clay is obtainable. Mr.. and

me that the grand total of approprias
tons amde by Congress for the ex-
service men is the colossal sum of
$3,282,052,698.O3. In addition 20
this sum, Congress passed what s
known as the Bonus or Adjusted
Compensation Act granting each
soldier or sallor and insurance poi
icy. The actuary of the Treasury
department estimates that this Viii
cost the Government during The
term OF years that the insurance will
run about one billion dollars. Add
this billion to the $3,2S2,052, 69S
and we viii see that the total appro-
prlatiton made by Congress for ex-
service men reaches the stupendious
sum of $4,282,052,698. The aver
age mind cannot grasp the enormity
of these figures.
Let me make comparison: Since
the birth of Christ up to the present
time, approximately 1,011, 100000
minutes have passed; therefore The
eFHment mas appropriated Tor the
benefit of the eXservice men over
four dollars minute for all the time
comprised in the Christian era.
1t is worthy of mention that every
eX-service man suffering from dis
ability incident to his military rerv-
ice is entitled to disqualification by
the government with pay during the
period of his disqualification; while
all eX-service men who suffer from
disabilities whether of service origin
or not are entitled to free hospital
izotion and treatment provided there
are vacant beds in the hospitals, but
they are entitled to pay if the disab-
ility is not service-incurred.
And so we have enumerated some
of the multifold benefits bestowed
by the Government upon the men
who were ready to bestow their all
had need required.
