while in the case of machine guns,
millions of rounds of ammunition
will be fired.
Wednesday the big gun battalion
was located north along the ocean
front, and some distance to the
south was the machine gun battal-
ion. Four rounds were fired from
the anti-aircraft guns, primarily for
proof firing, with Captain A. E. F.
FOgleberg in command. A RIA cor
rector was used to get the vertical
lateral direction and fuse range and
also to find the necessary range at
which the guns must be set prepara-
tory to firing, this being necessary
in order to permit the projectile to
burst when the airplane arrives at a
given point.
Wednesday morning telephone
communication was established
along the entire firing line and two
bases were established, one by each
battalion. Radio communication
with the airplane was also estab-
lished. Headquarters Battery hay

HUMUS IN SOIL

One of the important explanations
of the desirability of having a guam
tity Of humus or decomposing Or
ganic matter in the soil is found in
the capacity of humus for soaking
up and storing water which is thus
made available later for use by
growing plants. Experiments have
revealed that 100 pounds of sand can
hold only rs pounds of water, and
100 pounds Of clay soil can hold only
half its weight in water. In contrast,
100 pounds of decaying organic mat
ter may hold as much as 100 pounds,
or nearly twice its weight of water.
Most soils are mixtures in varying

This community was greatly sad
dened when announcement was
made early Tuesday morning that
death had occurred to one of its
oldest citizens, Hooper Ross, age SO

life at his home on the corner of
Dorman and Wolcott streets. For
the past two years Mr.. Ross has
been semi-invalid and seldom got
down town to take part in the polit-
ical gossip and the current topics of
the day usually discussed around a
hardware store stove. He was fore
ed to bed about four weeks ago and
never was up and around after that
1t was quite a coincident, the Ross

publican party, though the deceased
was Democrat. He never aspired

be divorced.
Although he was confronted in
the magistrates court by the two
women who say he is their husband
and the three small children of wife
No. 1, who ran to him and called
him Daddy" climbing upon his
knee and caressing him, Greist en-
tered plea of not guilty to the
bigamy charge. He had nothing fur
Their to say during or after the hear
ing and just what his defense will
be is mystery.
Miss Blanche Larrimore, aged
about 80 years, of Dover, last spring
was employed as a nurse by a fam
lily in West Chester, Pa, where she
met Greist who was a taxicab driv-
er. She knew him as Harry Will
liams and on May Is of this year
they went to Doylestown, Pa,
where they were married by Rev. G..
M. Whitenack, a Presbyterian min
lister. She produced her marriage
license in court attesting to the GER
emory. She claims she did not
know Williams or Greist had a wife
living at that time from whom he
had not been divorced. After the
ceremony they returned to West
Chester to make their home.
Later Miss Larrimore's employers
went to Europe and she returned to
her parents home in Dover. A few

phone to her husbands employers
in West Chester and then someone
told her all about his having an
other wife.
In the meantime Miss Larrimore
had noticed that her husband had
frequently referred to her as "Hel-
en-" Her first name is Blanche. She
remarked about this and asked him
why he did it and he explained that
Helen was his sisters first name
and that he frequently thought
about her. Miss Larrimore was
suspicious and after the telephone
conversation to West Chester she
started an investigation.
1t did not take her long to locate
the first Mrs. Williams or Greist
who was also living right in West
Chester. She was a Miss Helen
Chippie, aged about 35 years, and at
the hearing she produced q certifi-
cate showing that she and the man
she knew as Williams were married |
eight years ago in Hazleton, Pa.
Wife No. 2 testified that when she |
and GreiSt or Williams Were mar
ried and he was asked if he had |

together as man and wife since last |

When State Detective Wharton
brought wife No. 1 and her three
small children into the room two of
the little ones ran to Greist, calling
him Daddy" and climbed upon his
knee. He put his arms about them,
but said nothing. On leaving the
Office to return to the
Jail he asked wife No. 1 to accom-
pany him. She took her marriage
certificate from her handbag, hand
ed it to some of the relatives of
wife No. and then went to the Jail,
where she and her husband talked
for sometime. She had readily con-

NOVEL PLAN TO
AID The DAILY
"Red Press Sundays"
Start in Chicago

CHICAGO, Dec. 12.-More than
two-thirds of all the Chicago units
of the Workers (Communist) Party
were represented at the second
Daily Worker agents conference
since the launching of the big sub
scription drive. Most of the agents
reported that the campaign to
build the Daily Worker was meet
ing with a splendid response from
the members of their units.
An effective plan of activity that
will draw the entire membership
into the task of increasing the cir
culation of the Daily Worker and
widening its influence among the
masses has been inaugurated by
several Chicago units. This plan
was designated as "Red Press Sun
day" distributions. The basic fea-
ture Of the plan is to accumulate
a large list of candidates in work
ing class neighborhood, to receive
a free two weeks trial subscription
to the Daily Worker.
The method employed is a SAM
pie copy distribution, house to house,
in the course of which names and
addresses of candidates" for trial
subscriptions are secured. Thou
sands of workers will thus become
acquainted with our fighting labor
paper for the first time, thru this
means of activity.

WHITE TERROR
REMAINS under
MANU- REGIME
To Continue Trial on
Trade Unions
Red Aid Press Serviice)

BUCHAREST, Rumania, (By
MaiD The new Manu- regime in
Rumania will not alter the terror
system of the former Bratianu re-
gime, it seems from the action it has
taken regarding the trial against the
united trade unions which has
dragged along for two years in
Bucharest.
This trial is to decide whether or
not the united trade unions in the
capital should be dissolved. Again
and again the banning CO the unions
was stopped by the mass protest of
the workers. When the new regime
took office it was reported that it
would deny the charge against the
united trade unions, but that it will
"study the circumstances some
more" The trial was postponed I'M
til January Is.
The new regime shows that it will
put aside for the moment the I'M
popular system of the Bratianu re-
gime when its execution would mean
mass protests threatening its over
throw. So that in practice the old
conditions remain unaltered.

ANTI-IMP ERIALIST
RESOL UTIONS ARE
NOW PUBLISH
Show Big Exploitation
by Powers

The first pamphlet Of the printed
resolutions of the General Coun-
Gil of the League Against
Imperialism, whose congress was
held some time ago in Brussels, has
arrived in America. The resolutions
form a platform for anti-imperialist
work.
The first resolution is OIL the
general political aspects and points
out that Imperialism, although sup
ported by the reformist trade union
leaders under the argument that it
aids workers in imperialist coun-
tries, really does the opposite.
Exploitation Intensified.
The time has gone by, the League
finds, when the proletariat of i'm
perialist countries could be bribed
by occasional crumbs from the prof
its of exploitation abroad. The
League says: From this period of
capitalist decline the super-profit
derived from colonial exploitation
must be increased by intensified ex-
ploitation and is badly needed for
the sterilization of capitalism at
home.
"Thus colonial exploitation is an
indispensable method of capitalist
naturalization, having an adverse
Influence upon the economic condi
lions of the home proletariat. =.
Colonial exploitation cannot cease
to have an adverse effect on the
economic conditions of the home
proletariat unless the oppressed
peoples become completely free"
And to this end the League works.
while endeavoring to mobilize
all available forces in a joint strug-
gle against imperialism, the differ
entiation inside the nationalist
movement in the colonies should be
noted" says the resolution and
points to the treachery of the native
bourgeoisie in China and India.
Imperialism and War.
The second resolution is on the
war danger, directly connected with
imperialist policies. On this matter
the resolution declares:
1.-THE war peril is growing once
more because the robber imperialist
powers are once more finding them
selves locked in conflict throughout
the world, first Of all over the re-
distribution of the right to Cypress
the colonial peoples and subject
races, to monopolize colonial mar
kets and sources of raw materials,
to sweat super-profits out of cheap
colonial labor.
1.-The struggle between British
and American imperialism over the
right to exploit China, Central and
South America and the peoples of
Eastern Europe; the struggle be-
tween French and Italian imperial
ism over the economic control of
the Mediterranean shores and be-
tween British and French imperial
ism over the right to exploit Syria,
Palestine, Arabia and the Near East
generslly-these are typical of the
fatal internal antagonfsms of i'm
perialism which show themselves,
now here, now there, but always and
everywhere bring the peril step
Closer"
Empires Unite Against U. S. S. r.
Even these antagonisms, how
ever" the League finds, "are tenn
porarily reconciled whenever the i'm
perialist world as a whole finds it.
