Offer is Good Until January 10, 1888.

The Cash in Advance Subscription Policy, adopted
years ago, has proven highly satisfactory to The
Herald and to virtually all its subscribers. But to hold
stubbornly to that policy in the face of the present,
unprecedented business and price situation would be
unfair and unwise.
This offer does not mean the Cash in Advance
policy has been discarded, but temporarily suspend
ed. It does not mean the price has been cut. If The
Herald is not worth the 4 cents per week asked for it
it is not worth taking at all. The news part of the
paper actually costs much more than the subscription
price.
The Herald has a fine, large, interested family of
readers and wants to hold them.
The most common plant we hear is: 1--WE want
The Herald-we miss it, but"
This offer is our answer to that appeal.

DEFENSE POtICYItI
SCORED IN REPORT
Army Organization and Pro.
visions of,Act Referred to
by William T..Stone.

The organization of the American
Army and the provisions Of the Nation.
al Defense Act both are at odds with
the peace program and the militars
problem Of the United States, william
T. Stone Of the Foreign Policy Asso-
citation concluded in q report on the
national defense policy, made public
here yesterday under the formal of the
association.
While President Hoover's disarm-
ament program, the report pointed out,
seeks to limit armies to the strength
required for preserving internal order
and defending national territory, the
National Defense Act contemplates the
mobilization Of the man power and in
dustrial resources of the Nation to pro-
vide force Of 10000 600 men during
the first year OF q major conflict"
presumably IN Europe or Asia.
Defense Needs Of U. s.
THE military organization" Mr..
needs of the United States, primarily
in terms of the man power, which
would be required In a war waged on
the same scale and fought on the same
principles as the World War. It as
sumes that mass armies will be en-
ployed in the future as in the past.
That offensive as well as defensive op-
eraticns are required, and that mobili-
zation of the man power of the Nation
is still essential to the defense of the
United States (regardless OF our reia-
tive geographical isolation) as long as
there is any possibility OF our being
drawn into a general war"
The theory behind this organization.
Mr.. stone pointed out, Is based on the
century-old doctrine OF the nation IN
arms" but eficient mobilization OF man
power, depends upon the existence OF
a large, well-organized trained reserve,
for which the national defense ACT
makes no provision. The only SUBSTITUTE
for a trained reserve provided by Con-
gress in the national defense act was
the officers Reserve Corps and the en-
listed Reserve Corps, which the War
Department itself admits have not sum-
cient training or experience to carry
out the mobilization plan.
Regular Army Sacrifice.
As a result OF this insistence upon
Immediate mobilization" the War De-
partment, he added, had been forced
to sacrifice the Regular Army, which
is expected to furnish q force ready to
take the field at the outbreak OF war,
in order to carry out the military train
ing program in high schools and
colleges.
The Stone report said:
"As q result Of the Army's distribu-
ton, it Is unable TO perform its mission
as q covering force in case of war, An
effective expeditionary force OF more
than q single full strength division
could not be raised in case of a sudden
emergency without the greatest diffi-
Guilty. 1t Is clear the law places the
War Department in serious dilemma
and while the general stan has sought
to find a middle ground, it has moved
steadily in the direction of the second
alternative and sacrificed the mobile
force. which would be SUFFICIENT to de-
fend the territory Of the United States,
in the interests of citizens military
training" 20,

PO|NCARE READY
FOR COMEBACK
War President Will Re-enter
Politics Despite His
Delicate Health.
BY the Associa ted Press.

6y tne ASSOClat teO FIeSs.
BAR-LE-DUC, Meuse Department,
France.-Raymond Potncare, just turned
72, intends despite his delicate health
during the last year and a half to at
tempt return to political activity.
Contrary to all expectations, the
statesman from Lorraine recently an
nounced his candidacy for reelection
to the Senate. Two days later he pre-
sided with all his old-time authority at
meeting of the general council Of his
department.
The prefect Of the Meuse had to help
him up the stairs to the council cham
Der. but when M. Poincare presided for
two hours without sign of fatigue, the
general impression was tnat doubts as
to his ability to retain Ms seat in the
Senate had been swept away.
On his ticket for re-eyection will be
two old friends. running on platform
Of sacred union," or France first. /"
They do not intend to tie themselves
down to any detailed program, but to
let their past services to the department
and the nation speak for themselves.
M. Poincare. despite the defeat of his
sponsored candidates at the Chamber
elections last May, can, in the opinion
Of the impartial observers, win over
whelmingly when the local electoral
college meets on October 16. In France
all the 314 Senators are elected by these
local bodies, instead Of by popular VOTE
Poincare, born August 20. 1860, was
elected deputy when still in his late
twenties-the minimum age for the
Chamber in France is rs Before that,
when barely Of the requisite age, he was
councillor Of this department.
At 80, he was appointed minister of
education, the youngest man ever to
hold full cabinet rank in the history
Of the third republics Ever since, he
has been In and out Of the government,
but always sitting in Parliament.
At 81, he was finance minister. At
SO, he was premier and foreign min
lister. The year after that, 1918, saw
him President. serving until 1920.
Premier again from 1922 TO 1924, he re-
turned to that post in 1925, succeeding
to Herriot, put Frances finances on q
solid basis, and welded the governing
power until an operation and long con-
valescence forced him to withdraw.
Now his famous little gray felt hat
has been thrown. with character
istically jerky gesture, right back into
the political ring.

|G. 0. ?. VETS CITE
TEXAS DRY ACTION
Republicans to Use State as
Argument Democrats win
Not Vote Repeal.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.


Republican vets who have been argu-
ing that the Democratic party would
never support It's own platform for cut
right repeal Of the eighteenth amend
ment now ere planning to make the
most OF the action Of the House Of Rep
resentstives Of the Texas Legislature in
voting II to 43 against submitting the
eighteenth amendment to the people to
be voted upon either for repeal or modi-
fication.
Since the action occurred in a State
from which the Vice Presidential nomi-
nee of the Democratic party comes and
Mr.. Garner himself fsvors repeal, the
division in the ranks of the Democrats
in the South Is bound to be stressed by
their Republican opponents in the
North.
Beck Supports Hoover.
It is significant that James M. Beck
leader of the Republican vets IN the
House OF Representatives here, and the
co-author Of the famous Beck-Linthi-
cum resolution, Is supporting President
Hoover on the ground that his proposal
leads the way to a practicable solution
of prohibition while contending that the
Democrats will produce q stalemate by
insisting on repeal alone without giving
repeal the support Of the Southern dry
States.
Senator Glass Of Virginia. Democrat,
has proposed q constitutional amend
ment which is exactly In line with the
Hoover proposal. and in opposition to
the issue Of outright repeal as expressed
in the Democratic platform.
Virginia, like Texas, sent delegations
to the Democratic National Convention
in Chicago favoring repeal. The Repub-
licans now argue that the Democratic
platform will never be accepted by two
thirds of both houses Of Congress. be-
cause enough Democratic dry Congress
men and Senators from the South will
block action, whereas there Is some
chance that they will vote for an
amendment which guarantees against
the return of the saloon and assures the
retention Of some measure Of Federal
control.
Taking Second Place.
Prohibition Is taking second place as
an issue in the campaign. as both Re-
publican and Democratic nominees have
announced their intention OF StreSSlng
economic issues. In Northern States,
nevertheless, the vets are making a
constant argument to Republicans. who
care more about the prohibition issue
than anything else, that the time has
come to show the country that vote
for Roosevelt Is a vote for a change in
prohibition, and that a vote for Hoover
might not mean any change in the
amendment or the Volstead act.
To put 1t another way. the contention
is being made that Hoover victory will
be construed as dry victory and set
back the fight against prohibition. That
is why the Republican vets are working
so assiduously to prove that their can
didate really can bring about q change
with his program. while the Democratic
South would block outright repeal as
the Democratic platform recommends.

prepared for the opening next week OF
a Campaign which will stress the pro-
hibition issue.
There is little so far to indicate that
the campaign will produce the intensity

sented. The State is much more wet
in sentiment than 1t was four years
Following the astonishing margin Of
1OO. 600 votes by which Robert r. Rey-
nolds, outspoken wet, defeated Senator
Cameron Morrison for the Democratic
nomination, Boone D. Tllett, Republi-
can candidate for Lieutenant Governor,
came out with q wet statement, which
met with q prompt reputation by Chf-

and a demand from Jake Newell, can
didate for United States Senator that
Tillett be withdrawn from the ticket.
The outcome of the incident was q re-
traction Of his statement by Tillett and
the restoration of complete aridity in

Holding Margin in Presi-

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SEATTLE, Wash, September 3.-As
this State enters upon the last two
months of the campaign it finds the
we'll organized Democratic party with a
lead of approximately $4,000 on the
presidential ticket. This figure Is con-
servative and represents fairly the sit
uation here. Six weeks ago this lead
was easily 10000. The cut represents
the slow swing from Roosevelt to Hoo
yer which set in following the Presi-
dents acceptance speech.
Normally overwhelmingly Republican,
Washington, after eight years of party
warfare, Is still engaged in factional
troubles. On top Of this came the eco
nomic unrest, employment and dis
content. These still exist. They pro-
vidsd q fertile field for the Democrats,
and the leaders OF that party were not
slow in taking adva 1tage Of them.
For the first time In history WASH
ington voters this var find one con-
gressional district, thc fifth. without q

Sam B. Hill is without opposition.
Senator Wesley L. Jones, while facing
a contest for the nomination from

COTTON FREIGHT RATE
CUT AGREEMENT NEAR
Rail and Waterways Negotiators
Report Substantial Progress
Toward Reduction.
By the Associated Press.


Substantial progress In negotiations
between the Federal Inland Waterways
Corporation and Southwestern railroads
looking toward lower rail-barge freight
rates on cotton was reported yesterday
at the headquarters Of the corporation.
Maj. Gen. T. @. Ashburn. chairman
Of the corporation. made public tele-
gram received from L. D. Chaffee, its
trafnc manager, saying tentative
agreement on rates had been reached
with the Missouri Pacific Railroad.
Chaffe gave no details, but said Vice
President Brown Of the Missouri Pa
cific, with whom the agreement was
reached, would submit the proposition
to other Southwestern railroads next
Wednesday.
Chaffe told Ashburn he believed the
Inland waterways Corporation should
accept the tentative agreement, but
that he wanted the corporation chair
man 20 pass on the matter before the
railroads acted.
The negotiations, in progress at st.
Louis, were initiated after a recent In
terstate Commerce Commission deci-
sion ordering lower cotton rates by the
railroads.
Chaffe will come to Washington next
Tuesday to lay the entire proposition
before Ashburn. 1t must be approved
by Secretary Hurley Of the War De-
