the Norwegian whaler pioneer and the

ago under the impression they came
from the radio operator of the Subma-

from Harstad to Spitzbergen and be
ready to search for the Nautilus on
short notice. The ship built this year,

Experts said it would be difficult to
search for the Nautilus because the sub
marines exact position never has been
given.
Capt Riser Larsen had two flying
boats ready and said he could be at
Spitzbergen within two days. whereas a
steamer would take eight days. He said
he did not believe the difficulties of
accommodating over the ice insurmount-

completed before Winter sets in, at the
end of September.

Staples Can Claim
$1,000 Back Wage
liz He is Restored

Financial experts at the Dis
trict Building calculated today
that Former Policeman Orville
Staples will be in a position to
lay claim to an accumulated
salary of approximately $1,000 If
the District Commissioners fol-
low the recommendations of the
grand jury and reinstate him to
his former position as of the
date of dismissal, May %. 1928.
Staples received an annual sal
airy of $4,000 at the time of his
removal Police salaries were in
creased last year, and had Staples
been on the force at the time
his salary would have auto
matically jumped to 2,400.
Even If Staples is reinstated, it
was said, he would have consider
able trouble in collecting the
money. because the District can
not pay him without special legis-
lat:on Of Congress. Appropria-
tions are available only for serv-
ice rendere5. 1t was explained,
which prohibits the District from
paying any claim that Staples
may MAKE. out of appropriated

GENERAL PERSHING ARTICLES
REVEAL MUCH.

T y the articles by General Pershing now APP
pearing III the daily press, one thing is i'm
pressed upon the readers mind with striking
emphasis. 1t is the almost total npreparedness
of this country for the immense task which it
was undertaking
There was not only startling lack Of guns,
munitions, airplanes, ships and trained army,
but the apathy of the general staff was the
Strangest thing to understand.
Several years before the World war, con-
gress enacted 4 law creating general staff COM
posed Of high army and naval officers, whose
duty it was carefully to study and lay plans to
meet any contingency that might confront this
country in case it should engage in war. Such a
general staff had been functioning for num-
Der Of years. 1t was composed Of men trained
at West Point and Annapolis, supposedly ex-
perts in their lines But according to General
Pershing, they seemed strangely all at sea when
we joined the Allies and started to fight the
Central Powers in the great war. Plans moi
only seemed to be lacking but there were appar-
their highly important work Of a general direct
ing Of the war.
Criticism of the general staff must be tenn
pered because Of the fine record it eventually
made III transporting an army Of nearly two mil
lion men onto a foreign battle field. However,
one can not but wonder what would have hap
pened to the United States If it had been con-
fronted with an aggressive enemy-one Of the
great world powers-with no allies to keep the
enemy occupied until we could organize and
equip ourselves for the conflict.

Women have made rather prominent place

ness; many of them married women. 1t is ques

to cause an injustice there All of these various
angles must be carefully considered
OF course, there are two sides TO the ques

bate about the matter. There are many married
women who are holding good positions whose
husbands are earning enough for their proper

mated from positions, it would be good thing
How to do that very thing and still not do harm

WOULD FORCE MARRIED WOMEN OUT
OF EMPLOYMENT.

A MEASURE has been introduced in the
Montana legislature that would prohibit
the employment of married women in state,
county, city and school work. There is danger
IN that measure. 1t should be considered care
fully before being enacted into law.
The moving power back of this measure is
unquestionably the desire to provide more jobs
for men, for heads of families, at a time of great
depression and scarcity Of work. But it is well
not to become hysterical. The depression will
pass away one of these days and we do not want
any unwise laws on the statute books when that
time comes
