YOUTH CURED BY
STARVING

From one extreme to another
goes the life Of Harold A. Jarvis.
81 years old. Indianapolis, Ind. who,
although Weighing 205 pounds. was
first treated at Emergency Hospital
for near starvation. and then at
Casualty Hospital for acute indiges-
ton.
Jarvis was picked up at Thir-
teenth and r Streets Northwest on
Thursday and taken to Emergency
Hospital. His collapse, he said,
was due to hunger, since he had
not eaten for four days. Officials
gave him a square meal and a
dollar and he went his way re-
joicing.
Three days later, however, he
was picked up at Delaware Avenue
and c Street Northwest. and taken
to Casualty Hospital Instead Of
feeding him there, they starved
him until yesterday afternoon. when
his recovery was said to be COM
plete and he was again sent on his
way.
He has been unable to find q
job, he said.

fore the legislature aimed TO protect

LONDON. March 23.-Diplomatic
exchanges between Great Britain,
France and Germany have made it
practically certain that Italy will not
take action against Jugo-Slavia on
her own initiative. it was stated to-
day.
Great Britain favors an inquiry by
military experts into the Italian
charges that Jugo-Slavia has made
warlike preparations on the italian
and Albanian borders and into the
Jugo-Slavian charges that Italy has
made preparations for undue extern
sion Of her sphere Of influence in AL

Mechanizing Artillery.
While Great Britain makes over
lures for naval disarmament, the re-
port Of the secretary of war in pre-
senting estimates for the coming year
shows that great strides are being
made to improve the efficiency of the
land forces.
Among the innovations noted in the
reports Of the secretary of war are
these;
Mechanical Cavalry.
All regular medium artillery is to
be mechanical;
Six regiments Of cavalry are being
provided with cross-country mechani-
cal vehicles for normal first line trans
port;
A reliable crossAcountry armored
car is being experimental with;
The number of machine guns al
lowed in war to cavalry regiments
and infantry battalions is increased
from eight to twelve;
Experiments are being made with

jury.
There was no evidence that the let
ter to Ford was ever read by the auto
king, but the warning to the editor
of the Dearborn Independent was
read, having been made the subject
of an investigation by the publication.
A magazine article purporting to
show that Henry Ford had admitted
his crusade against Aaron Sapiro was
improper" was barred from the mil
lion-dollar libel suit this afternoon.
Federal Judge Fred M. Raymond
ruled that William J. Cameron, Ford
editor and his "copy reader" could
not be questioned about the magazine
article. which was published in "Farm
and Preside" Sapiro's counsel said
the article had been approved by
Cameron at Ford's request and in
cluded an admission by the auto king
that the attacks on the so-called wheat
king were improper.
Judge Appeals to Newspapers.
William II. Gallagher, chief of the
plaintiffs counsel, sought to get the
magazine article before the jury. He
failed.
The judge appealed TO all newspa-
per men not TO publish any Of the
matter ruled out Of evidence. None
Of them agreed to make any promises.

he has made temporary agreements
in all possible outlying districts for
coal to be mined there "until an
agreement is reached in the central
competitive dis eict"; the agreement
carries no reference to any strike
coming before such an agreement is
reached.
The United Mine Workers Journal,
official organ of the international,
and the Illinois Miner, official organ
of the largest district in the union,
all thru last summer reaped invec-
tive and ridicule on progressives who
warned that the union would fight
for its life on April and succeeding
months. The Illinois Miner ran a
pseudo-scientific series Of articles,
quoting statistics to show the impro-
liability Of a strike or lockout.
Ohio Lock Out.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, March %. -
Ohio bituminous operators said to-
day they will close down their union
mines April LIST to await the outcome
of the fight in Pennsylvania between
non-union coal operators and the
United Mine Workers.
Problems of Ohio and Pennsylvania
are almost identical so far as COM
petition is concerned, but there is no
general disposition among Ohio oper-
ators to run non-union if they can OBJ
tain a wage reduction from the union.
Willing To Fight.
Ohio, therefore, is willing to sus-
pend for many months to see it the
union can be forced, or persuaded to
grant a competitive wage scale based
upon the non-union pay. Ohio is
cradle for unionism and it would re-
quire almost superhuman efforts to
smash the mine workers union there.
If the Pittsburg Coal Co. succeeds
in driving the union from Western
Pennsylvania, Ohio operators believe
they will be in a position to dictate
terms of new wage agreement. On
the other hand, if the union wins,
Ohio operators will be no worse off
than at present because the union is
demanding only renewal of the ex-
listing wage contract.
A danger, however, to Ohio is that
it may lose permanently to West
Virginia and Kentucky its rich mar
kets, if the suspension this year is
long one. Ohio production has fall
len off between rs and 80 percent
since 1923.
eve must close down our mines
or get a wage readjustment", said w.
H. Haskins, secretary treasurer of
the Ohio operators association. Since
1898, when joint bargaining was es-
tablished between the union and the
operators, HaslCins said production
has increased as follows:
Ohio, 100 percent; Indiana, S65
percent; Illinois, 272 percent; West
Virginia, 74S percent; Kentucky, 1880
percent.
Non-union Field Grows.
In this period, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois have been solidly union while
in late years, West Virginia and Ken
lucky have operated open shop; in
other words, development in union
fields has Jagged far.
Behind growth in non-union fields,
Hackins said two-thirds of the coal
being mined in the United States now
is non-union.

without equity in either wife or child
in consideration of a sum said to ap-
proximate 100000, but perhaps his
lawyer is having trouble with his COM
mission.
THE Washington Post, owned by
Mclean, the multimillionaire pub
Usher and bosom friend of the late
Warren G. Harding and the "Ohio
gang" that made the "little green
house on K. street famous in modern
history, is mistakenly demanding that
the United States step in and crush
the Liberal movement of Nicaragua
presided over by President Sacasa.
Mclean demands that the United
States government dispatch enough
troops to Nicaragua to run the Lib
erals into the ocean.
DURING the oil scandal quiz held in
- Washington, McLean's name often
cropped up in cipher kilograms that
were exchanged between A. B. Fall
and the department of justice. This
burglarious outfit worked hand in
hand with the oil companies and it is
not surprising to seel Mclean again
demanding more stern measures
against the Latin-American peoples
and putting out anti-Mexican propa-
ganda. Mclean absolves the Wall
street bankers from all blame for the
Nicaraguan civil war but attributes it
to "war of aggression by Mexico
against American interests in Nicara-
qua" 1t is believed that the Post
propaganda is not frowned on by the
state department.
INFORMATION supplied by state de-
partment officials to the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee show
that American marines and blue
jackets now in Nicaragua or on
American warships in Nicaraguan
waters outnumber the forces of
Sacasa and Diaz about two to one.
Stokeley w. Morgan, chief Of the
Latin-American division under KEEL
logg testified before the senate COM
mittee that no American had been
killed during the present civil war in
Mexico and that no American proper
ty had been destroyed.
=
THE interference of the United
States in Nicaragua is as brazen
a piece of imperialistic bulldozing as
history records. The futile effort of
Kellogg to conjure up a fairy tale
weaved out of an alleged conspiracy
on the part of the Gales administra-
ton to "Bolshevize" Latin-America in
order to justify his threats of war
against Mexico fell flat originally, but
even some of the capitalist papers are
now publishing evidence of American
corruption in Nicaragua since 1909,
when Diaz, the $1,000 a year employee
Of an American corporation came into
power after "loaning" 100000 to the
reactionaries who assured Washington
they would be friendly to American
interests" The white mans burden"
abb that went in England was never
popular here. Where is our boosted

PARIS, July IA simple, lonely
grave overlooking wheat field at
the little village of Chamery, north
east of Chateau Thierry, was blan-
keted with fresh flowers today in
memory of Lieutenant Quentin
Roosevelt.
1t was nine years ago today that
young Roosevelt, American World
War flier, was shot down and killed.
His body still rests where German
airmen buried it. The enemy an
nounced Roosevelt's death by drop
ping note within the allied lines.
No road has been built to the
grave. but hardly day passes that
American visitors do not trudge
across the fields to stand beside it,
out of respect for the boy and the
proud name he bore.
At the Methodist Memorial in
Chateau Thierry, not far away, may
be seen today parts of the plane in
which Roosevelt fell. In the village
of Chamery is a memorial fountain
carrying the youths name and a
quotation from his father: "Only
those are fit to live who are not
afraid to die"
