Monmouth county in New Jersey

sary Of the Battle Of Monmouth. This
severe and critical engagement of the
Revolution was re-enacted In a pag-
cant which showed how the fight was
waged from Monmouth Courthouse to
Old Tennent, and also the heroic
part played that day by Molly Pitcher,
writes May W. Mount in the New
York Times.
The victory of Monmouth strength
ened the morale of the army, worn
by their winter at Valley Forge, and
encouraged the Colonies in their
struggle. 1t made their commander in
chief more heroic than ever as they
pictured him, constantly exposed to
fire. rallying his troops.
In dead, wounded and missing the
British lost 362 and the Americans
800. Included among these were four
British and eight American officers |;
fifty-nine British and many Americans
died of fatigue and sunstroke. The
banks of Molly Pitchers brook were
strewn with dead and wounded SOL
diers who had dragged themselves to
the water.
The British dead and not few Of
the Americans were buried on the
field.

cente Gomez who were determined
that the veteran should resume the
place he held for 20 years from the
time of Castro's downfall until May,
1929. He retired then on his own mo-
ton and when Perez was elected to
succeed him the constitution was
amended to permit Gomez to become
commander-in-chie Of the army and
to be responsible only to congress.
An academic, rather than active type,
President Perez left the task Of put
ting down insurrections-three Of
which have occurred since he took
office-to General Gomez and his army
of 1900 men.
Gomez, in fact, has been almost as
much the ruler of the country since
retiring as he was before, and his re-
turn to the presidency in the election
set for June 10 was considered certain.
He is getting to be an old man but
retains his youthful vigor and pictur-
sequences. and probably is the man
Venezuela needs.

Roof Color an Essential

While the roof of your home must
shut out the elements and must be
durable, 1t should at the same time,
because 1t is one of the most promi-
nent architectural features of the
house, add beauty through color and
pattern. Your greatest opportunity to
increase the effectiveness of your
housetop and the entire architectural
treatment lies in a wise choice of roof
ing color.

The total strength Of the naval

After abiding to the Russian five
year plan. Mr.. Hoover proposed what
he called an American plan. Said he:
1--WE plan to take care of 20,0OO.0OO
increase in population in the next 20
years. We plan to build for them A.
100000 new and better homes, thou

this 20,000,000 people. We plan to se-
cure greater diffusion Of wealth, de-
crease in poverty and a great reduc-

From Indianapolis the President and
his party. which included Mrs. Hoover
and their son Allan. went to Marion.
Ohio, and took part in the dedication
of the magnificent memorial to War
rem G. Harding. Mr.. Hoover deliv-
cred the chief address in which he
severely condemned the friends"
who betrayed Harding's trust. Former
Senator Freylinghuysen, president of
the memorial association, presented
the memorial to the association, and
Calvin Coolidge, who succeeded Hard
ing In the presidency, replied in ac-
ceptance Gov. George White ac-
-cepted the structure on behalf Of the

monies Mr.. Hoover went to Column

A. R. encampment.
Next day the presidential party
journeyed to Springfield. ILL.,. for the
dedication of the remodeled tomb of
Abraham Lincoln. Mr.. Hoover was
the guest of Governor Emmerson and
again delivered the main speech at
the imposing ceremonies.
The POLITICAL implications of Presi-
dent Hoover's trip to the Middle West
were evident and not denied. The
three states he visited have all caused
alarm among the Republican leaders
by their votes in recent elections.
Only last November Illinois replaced
a Republican senator with Demo-
crat and sent five more Democrats to
the house In place of Republicans;
Ohio elected Democratic governor
and sent six Democrats to congress
In place of Republicans. and Indiana
replaced six Republican congressman
with Democrats The Republican man.
ayers hoped the presidential tour
would have effect in bringing these
states back into the fold, and there
was also the expectation that it would
help in promoting Mr.. Hoover's pros
poets for denomination and re-elec-
ton. That he is a candidate is no
longer in doubt, if it ever was. The
recent conference of young Repub-
licans in Washington, under the guild
ance Of Senator Fess, national Re-
publican chairman, made that certain.

Underseeretary of State William A.
Castle gave out a statement the other
day to the effect that the government
does not consider its position as sig
nifying an infiexibls thesis, and there
have been strong hints at the White
House that President Hoover would
not oppose the scaling down of war
debts if he were assured this would
be followed by ample reductions in
European ornaments.
Mr.. Castle said the government Is
and always has been open minded on
the war debt question and has been
watching the situation abroad very
carefully; he added that no crisis has
yet arisen Of nature that would
call for any action by this country
on the war debts. If such a crisis
should arise. he said, it was obvious
this government would have to con-
slider whether temporary change was
necessary. Official opinion in Wash
