Major General George s. Gibbs has been attached to the Signal Corps for the past B years and spent much of his early eXperi- ence in Alaska, where he had much to do with the develop ment of the system in the North. He finally became Chief Signal officer and was located in Wash ington, but at his request was placed on the retired list of the Army June 30th. He has since gone to New York City to assume the duties of vice president of the International Telegraph & Telephone Corporation. Col. IT, wing J. Carr, Executive to the Assistant Secretary of War, has been advanced to the position of Chief Signal Officer.

that ia some way Calvin Coolidge will be brought back into the field. Outside the circle immediateiy about the president, no politician really believes this is even remote ly probable.

 would be a confession of Ialiure
 and an admission that they nad

 The latest manifestation of this is | d story published in all the news

edgins Hoover out of the nomina- ton.
 The old guard senators regard the possibility of Coolidge as a candidate as too good to be true. For publication, of course, these weathered political seers continue to express their fealty to the White House insumbent and their confidence that he will be elected again. Their acts and their pri- vate words convey an entirely diff ferent view. There is, for example, Vice President Curtis indefinite ness as to whether he again will be Hoover's running mate: For pub | lication, the vice president an- nounces that he has not yet made up his mind. His closest political friends, however, announce posi- lively that he means to abandon the second highest office in the
 land and run again for the Kansas
 senatorship, on the theory that he
 might be elected in Kansas but | sees no hope of being elected by the nation at large.
 Then there is the incident of
 Watson of Indiana, the majority leader in the senate. Word comes | from the Hoosier state that Sem l ator Watson is seriously debating
 whether he will stand for re-elec- ton next year, and the gossip at | the capitaal is that he has told sew eral of his colleagues in the upper house that he has no chance o1 being elected with MT Hoover

National Politics
 Reminiscent Of 1911
Hoover Administration Finds Itself in a Position
 Somewhat Similar to That of Taft

Washington, Sept 15-Mark Sul- livan who, justly or unjustly, is supposed to distribute the inside information on what President Hoover thinks-or more accurately what the president wants to have accepted as his views-recently published a profound dissertation pointing out the innpossibility of anybody but the White House in- cumbent being nominated by the republican convention next year.
 The conclusion is neither start ling nor subtle, but what gives it importance is that one so close to the president should deem it nec- essary at this time to write about it. Not since Rutherford B. Hayes has there been any question of the renomination of an elected presi- dent. True there was much talk when Taft's term was approaching its end and everybody realized that

him to be on the tail Of ticket repudiated by the national elec- torate. On the other hand, it might be convincingly urged on him that the sacrifice, if 1t turns out to be sacrifice. is something that he owes to the party and that side stepping that obligation would handicap him when he ssked the republicans to make him the standard-bearer five years hence.
 Perhaps in Senator Morrow's final decision there will lie another indication of the present political trendo. If he thinks there is even slight chance of the republicans winning in 1882, he will be less hesitant about having the ticket

he could not be reelected. But then there was in the picture The odore Roosevelt, militant for the nomination, and the dispensers of republican fate decided that the party could better afford to take a licking with Taft than risk losing control of the party to the pro- gressives, so they remorselessly disqualified Roosevelt delegates to the convention and steam-rolled another nomination for the presi- dent who, when the ballots were counted, carried two states only Vermont and Utah.
 The political situation to-day is painfully reminiscent for the g. o D. statesmen of that of 1911. Taft and his supporters were scared te death that Theodore Roosevelt would take the nomination away from him. To a less degree. the supporters of Herbert Hoover feai

If he were made national chairman 1t would be against the wishes of all the old republican staIwarts, whom he estranged dur ing the Coolige regime and whose treatment of Henry Cabot Lodge was largely responsible for But ler's failure to be returned to the senate from Massachusetts.

 Speculation now pins the repub- lican vice presidential nomination on Senator Dwight Morrow, pro- yided he will take it. It is pre- sented that Morrow can better af- ford to share in the defeat which is anticipated for next November than any of the other conspicuous figures. His term as senator does not expire until 1897. and he would be under no obligation to resign his senatorship in order to go on the national ticket, unless that ticket were successful. If, as is generally suspected, Morrow visu- alizes himself as presidential candidate in 193e, he might not think that 1t would be helpful for

Precedence.

ISTANBUL, Turkey Especially For
eign residents in Turkey are to be
told what work they can undertake
and what they cannot The Grand
National Assembly will soon discuss
this new bill and If it is accepted the
foreigners will find their work circle
limited. The bill states that no for
eigner can be q chemist. a coachman,
chauffeur, a peddler, baker, a
doctor, etc.
The attempt to restrict the work
that the foreigners can do in Turkey
shows how the new republic of Mus
tapha Kemal differs from the Ottoman
Empire Of the Sultans. In the past,
with, the capitulations, the foreigners
were really the masters in Turkey and
they enjoyed more privileges than the
Turks themselves
But the treaty Of Lausanne put an
end to the supremacy Of the foreigner
in Turkey. The capitulations are abol-
ished, the foreigners enjoy only equal
rights with the Turks. and now for the
first time they will realize that Turkey

are guests who have certain limitations

store for you. You will thrill at the cars
splendid performance-its power, its speed,
its quick response to the throttle.
But you will probably get your greatest
thrill when you step on the accelerator
and learn how luxuriously smooth Olds~
mobiles performance really is. For, no
matter how fast you go, Oldsmobile's
engine delivers its power with such quiet
ease that you are hardly aware of the speed
at which you are travelling.
The reasons for this inherent smoothness
are two-fold &. a sound multi-cylinder
design which has been steadily perfected
over a period of years and the most
painstaking workmanship, to assure that
design it's just dues in actual production.
Important as Oldsmobile deems those two
reasons, they mean almost nothing to you
