AUTO REGISTRATION
PLATES FOR '26 HERE

The county tax collectors office In
in receipt Of 135 boxes of 1925 license
plates, each box containing so num-
bers. They run from 115-701 to 122-450
inclusive.
The plates are the same size as this
year but have black numbers on
white background.
So far Cameron county has 71OS
licensed passenger cars and 1925
trucks, making total of S233 cars and
ltrucks in the county, according to c..
S. Reid, automobile registration clerk.
Present conditions tend to the belief
that the end of the year will see ap-
proximateyl 5000 cars and trucks in
use and next year will probably see an
increase of three or four thousand.
This year the number nearly doubled
that Of last year.
The new license plates will not be
issued for some time as the receipt
blanks and other supplies necessary
have not been received from Austin,
Mr.. Reid said He was unable to say
just when the plates would be issued.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct 6.-The IS

the rum chasing armada was safe to-
day after sending out S. o. 5. calls
which rushed seven ships to the scene
without finding her. 1t developed that

The CG-101 with eight men aboard
sprung leak 81 miles off ,Absecoa, N.

tertainment broadcasting while ships IN
the vicinity vainly attempted to get
more definite directions. Three boats
from the coast guard station at Atlantic
City and four other vessels speeded to
the spot, including two steamships.
The rescue ships, some 125 miles south
Of New York. found nothing. Govern
ment radio stations were in turmoil in
an effort to prevent a marine tragedy.
In the meantime the CG-101 was limp
ing back to Atlantic City on one eagine
and with flooded compartment.

press Public of Un-
usual Skill, Claim
(By the Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 6-Avi-
ators were charged today by one Of
their own number with over-estimat-
ing their ability and with being pos
sessed of the "aviators complex" con-
sisting of snobbishness and conceit. :"
The assertion was made by Lieuten-
ant Donald M. Carpenter Of the Pensa-
cola, Fla, naval station in testimony
before the presidents aircraft board.
He added that many naval aviators en-
dorsed the plan for separate aircorps
because Of the "allurement Of increased
rank and pay"
"Aviators DESIRE said Lieutenant
Carpenter, to impress the laymen with
their unusual skill"
Lieutenant Carpenter declared that
unrest of air personnel also was appar-
en- in the navy as a whole, and he blam-
ed legislation which he haid calls for
forced retirement of many officers to
enable promotion of other officers.
separate air corps would only add
to present dissatisfaction, he continued,
as it would create especial privileged "
class officer. Aviation, he added, was
too important to be confined to a sep
arate corps, and he believed an aviator
should be first naval officer and then
a flyer.

President Pleads For

With Foreign Nations
at Legion Meeting v.
(By the Associated Pressl

OMAHA, Neb Oct. 6.-President
Coolidge, addressing the American Le-
gion convention here today, declared
that the result of the World War win
be lost and the nations of the world
will prepare for another conflict unless
racial antagonIsms are demobilized and
a universal attitude Of federation is Gre
ated.
If our country is to have any posi-
tion of leadership, she added, Il trust
it may be in that direction, and | be
lieve that the place where it should be
gin is at home"
Asserting that no nation ever had OF
ever will have an army large enough
to guarantee it against attack in time
Of peace or to insure it's victory in
war, the president said that ''peace and
security are more likely to result from
fair and honorable dealings and mutual
agreements for a Imitation of arma-
ments among the nations than by any
attempt at competition in squadrons and
batallions"
''No doubt this country" he con-
tinued, could, if it wished to spend
more money, make better military
force, but that is only part of the prob
lem that confronts the government The
real question is whether spending more
money to make better military force
would really make a better country
Il would be the last to disparage the
military art. 1t is an honorable and pa
trlotic calling of the highest rank But
| can see no merit in any unnecessary
expenditure of money to hire men to
build fleets and carry muskets when in
ternational relations and agreements
permit the turning of such resources
into the making of good roads, the
building Of better homes, the promotion
of education and all the other arts of
peace which minister to the advance
ment of human welfare
Should Resist Militarism
Avoiding direct reference to any spe-
cific situation, Mr. Coolidge expressed
the opinion that military. power should
be subordinated to and governed by
civil authority, and continued:
1T is for this reason that any organ
ization of men in the military service
bent on inflaming the public mind for
the purpose of forcing government ac-
ton through the pressure of public
opinion is an exceedingly dangerous
undertaking and precedent. This is so
whatever form it might take, whether
it be for the purpose of influencing the
executive, the legislature, or the heads
of departments.
1T is for the civil authority to deter
mine what appropriations shall be
made, and what rules shall be adopted
for the conduct of its armed forces.
Whenever the military power starts die
tating to the civil authority, by what
soever means adopted, the liberties Of
the country are beginning to end. Ma
