REFUSES TO EMPLOY
COLLEGE GRADUATES
An Employer Lists Eight Reasons
Why COllegians Fail In The
Business World.

'No college graduate need apply to
me for job. He will not even get

This announcement against col

GLADSTONE HAD
LOVE AFFAIRS AT AGE
OF 20, SAYS AUTHOR

Misunderstanding that EnglanGs
grand old man, the late William E..
Gladstone, was an "arch-hunbug,"
Capt. Peter E. Wright Saturday de-
Tended his recent charges that Glad
stone was hypocrite in matters of
morality.
Wright, who is suing Viscount
Gladstone, the 73-year old son of the
elder Gladstone, for libel because the
latter called him a '1iar, coward and
fool" in connection with the immor-
allty charges, was subjected to a
searching crOss-eXamination by Nor
man Birkett, counsel for the defend
ant.
Mr.. Birkett asked Captain Wright
If he had ever made any inquiries
into the truth of his allegations that
the elder Gladstone was father of an
illegitimate son, or that he had been
intimate with the noted French ac-
tress, Brassine.
'Why should u" Wright asked
Later, however, he withdrew his sug-
gestion of the existence of an lille
ultimate son.
When Mr.. Birkett called attention
that the alleged intrigue with Bras
sine had occurred when GLADSTONE
was 70 years old, Captain Wright re-
piled
chats the astonishing thing abou,
Gladstone. He had these affairs 0e-
tween 70 and &c."
Mr.. Birkett then took up Captain
Wright's assertions that the elder
Gladstone had been intimate witt
Olga Novikoff, a beautiful Russian
girl. He said that the man wnom
Captain Wright had stated as hi!
informant, would deny the story at
tributed to him and Furthermore
that the elder Gladstone's compete
correspondence with Mile. Novikof1
from 1878 to 1893 did not contain the
slightest hint of improperly.
Captain Wright nevertheless main
tanned that the elder Gladstone was
an "arch-humbug," and had conn1veC
in the illicit relationship between
Charles Stewart Parnell, the IrisI
statesman, and Mrs. O'Shea, a refa
tionship which led to Parnell's poll
teal downfall.

MEXICAN
INVASION
HARD JOB
Army Officers Believe 1t
Would Take a Long
Time.
GOOD ARTERIES LACKING
Could Not Hold Country
Long After Victory.
Times WgshtnotQr Bsreaa.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Army
officers in Washington. including
some with border experience, say
freely that a successful invasion Of
Mexico by the United States Army
would be a long, difficult and ex
pensive job.
They base this opinion on general
principles of military science, on
their studies of possible campaigns
in Mexico and on the lack of success
of the American expeditionary forces
under General Pershing in 1914.
The first problem is geographical.
It is a country over which an in
vading army would have to march
over deserts and through known
valley routes, and in which defend
ing native troops would have the
maximum advantage.
Highways insufficient
Secondly, the absence of adequate
railways or sufficient highways,
upon which a modern army with
artillery is dependent.
These factors, plus the Mexican
strategy of separating and fighting
in small bands, would make 1t a
guerilla form of war-to which the
Mexicans are trained and in which
they are highly efficient. This form
of warfare would leave the United
States Army dependent almost sole
ly on its cavalry and air forces. The
experience of the crack French air
force In the African Rih causes
many officers to doubt the effective
ness of aviation in a Mexican cam.
paign.
Pershing's Experience
Hence the United States Army's
standing war plan for Mexico Is
based, officers say. almost exclusive
ly on cavalry-which Pershing found
inadequate before.
Apart from these purely military
considerations, officers stress the
greater difficulty which would arise
from a belligerent civilian popula-
ton. There would be millions of
Mexicans happy to join in irregular
attacks from a thousand quarters.
These the unified invading forces
could not combat with any of the
approved rules of strategy of mass
warfare.
The consensus of army officer
opinion seems to be:
1--WE could conquer Mexico despite
the difficulties and expense. but we
could not hold it long; it is much
easier to defeat a weaker army than
to consolidate that victory per-
manently by policing sixteen million
fanatical Mexican patriots"
