returning to Washington today from
six weeks trip abroad, immedi.
ately went into conference with
Hugh L. Kerwin. the departments
director of conciliation. to acquaint

Anthracite operators will meet the
citizens "No-Strike" committee here
this afternoon TO hear its appeal that
scale negotiations broken off with
the mine workers August 4, be re-
sumed to prevent strike September
first.
The miners, in giving their reply
at similar conference in Hazelton
yesterday, said they would clean the
slate and start afresh with the mine
owners on one condition which the
operators found prohibitive. The
miners stipulated that the operators
must recede from their position of
insisting that no demands would be
considered that increased production
cost.
w. w. Inglis, chairman of the op-
orators scale committee, announced
last night that departure from this

FOREIGN LEGION
is HALF GERMAN

Paris, Aug. 26.-P-Once enemies
at arms 10000 Germans, exactly half
the total strength of the French for
eign legion. are in Morocco fighting
the battle of France against the re-
bellious Moorish tribesmen.
Applications from former German
soldiers to be permitted to lend
their aid to their former enemies in
the warfare against the Riffians are
coming in such numbers that it is
impossible for the French ministry
of war to accept all of them.
The foreign legion to which the
Germans are attached has been in
the thickest of the fight since Add
el-Krim, the Moroccan war lord, be-
gan his offensive, and French, Of
ficers asserted that the Germans
have given good account Of them
selves. They battle in the manner
OF the trained soldiers they are and
it is said that the percentage of de-
sertions of them to the enemy ranks
is not larger than that among the
other nationalities represented in
the legion.

get pairing and its possible require
ments as TO curtailed program is
engaging the study Of naval heads
as we'll as the war department.
Acting at the request Of the budget
bureau to reduce its program for the
fiscal year 1927, the Navy depart
ment has slashed it's original esti-
mates by more than S4O,OOO.OOO by
arranging to curtail activities all
along the line and perhaps abandon
number of eastern shore stations.
Fear Slash Menace
War department officials at the
same time fear that the army's bud
get will be limited to figure that
will nccessitate dropping from 1000
to 10000 enlisted men and possibly
one or two thousand officers.
Where $3.50, 100000 was originally
asked, the naval program is now un-
derstood to represent an outlay for
the next fiscal year Of approximately
$3l0,000,O00. This compares with an
appropriation of 1929 100000 for the
present fiscal year.
Abandon Stations
1nasmuch as officers regard $780,
100000 as about the minimum neces-
sary for maintenance and operation
purposes, it has been necessary in
meeting budget requirements to cut
into plans for new construction as
well as aviation development, in ad-
dition to curtailing the shore sta
tiohs.
While conferences have not been
concluded at the Navy department on
the situation, it is understood the
revised estimates provide for the
closing Of the Boston Navy Yard, the
Charleston, South Carolina, Navy
Yard, the Supply Base at Brooklyn,
N. Y, and either the Great Lakes
or Hampton Roads Naval training
station. In taking this Stand, it is
pointed out that recommendation Of
the board headed by Rear Admiral
Rodman three years ago on the
shores establishment situation are
being followed.
Centre on Pacific
The move also would be in line
with the general trend of recent
years in centering naval activities IL
the Pacific. thereby eliminating the
necessary for so many stations on the
cast coast.
The present strength of $4,000 en-
listed men is expected to be main
tanned but the original plan to utilize
SAT 100000 toward new construction.
much of which was authorized last
year by Congress in new cruisers
and other craft but not appropriated
for, beyond AN amount sufficient
merely to begin construction, faces
the prospect Of sharp revision.
Curtail Air Grant
While $47,000,000 is regarded as
the minimum requirement for the bu-
reau of aviation, S33,OoO,oOO had
been requested to expand the activi-
ties of this branch of the service.
This figure too, is now faced with
the probability Of Il considerable re-
duction.
Although some consideration is
said to have been given to closing the
air station at Lakehurst, N. j., and
placing the dirigibles Los Angeles
and Shenandoah out Of commission.
unless the former is leased to a pri
vate company for commercial oper-
ations, indications now are that this
step will not be taken.

night of the Ontario Prohibition

The Americans, who are headed by

I'VE first asked whether A beer

at the dinner, land fully 95 per cent
replied that it had not.
"Our next question was whether
the sale of A beer had decreased
the sale of bootleg liquor. The uni
vcrsal reply was that it had increas-

every person We interviewed
declared the whole system most un-

With regard to prohibition in the
United States, Mr.. Hudson declared
that sentiment in its favor was be-
steadily stronger.

WHEAT
SHOWS HIGH
PROTEIN RUN
Premium of l3 Cents a Bushcl
on Protein Wheat Paid
at Dickinson

Dickinson. Aug. 26.-Whcat thresh-
ed in the Dickinson community dur
ing the past week has given farmers
definite assurance that the average
yield will be much better than was
first anticipated. On the Frank J.
Pctrick farm northwest of the city
where the threshing of wheat has
been completed it was found that the
grain yielded an average of IL bush
els per acre. Mr.. Petrick had previ-
onsly made an estimate of 10 bushels.
The grain was of good quality and
for the most part graded No. I.
Wheat raised in Stark county this
year is rich in protein and gluten
content. tests sent to the laboratories
for analysis show. In fact it is so
rich in these desirable milling quail
fcring a premium Of IL cents per
bushel for wheat RAISED locally.
One sample sent out for analysis
by M. J. Moe, of the Farmers Grain
company, revealed protein test Of
1875, the highest of any yet tested
in the state. 1t is believed that the
average protein test will range
around Ia per cent and the gluten
test around az to As per cent.
These tests are made free of charge
and farmers who wish to know the
value of their wheat as milling
product are urged to take advantage
of the service offered by the state
schools, the elevators and the mills.
Wheat grown on the Missouri Slope
is always of much higher protein
and gluten content than that raised
I'M other sections of the state and tor
that reason commands a higher price
Harvest is now practically COM
pleted, only few fields remaining
to be cut.
T. A. Potter, in charge Of the fed
cral labor office here, reports n

are being sent out as fast they come

nounced as follows:
Beulah, 626; Hazen, aga; Zap. 342;

Beulah, $50; Hazen, $50; Zap, 257;
Golden Valley, 369; Stanton, 1926.
The census figures do not give
Beulah full credit for all of her pop

$50 people live in additions to the
