MARYLAND TO PROVIDE
NEW PENSION PROGRAM
Asks State to Vote $15 Monthly
in Place of Measure
Held Invalid.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY, February 49,
Gov. z. w. Marland. his $30-a-month
old-age pension program trumped by
the Oklahoma Supreme Court, led
back last night with a SIS plan.
With an 8-to-1 decision, the
high court yesterday held illegal
Marland's finesse last September, in
which the Governor ordered the old
age pension initiative measure placed
on the ballot without waiting for the
Secretary of State to determine suf-
ficiency of signatures to the petition.
Marland was ready for the decision.
He revealed that he had been at
work for weeks on a new pension bill.
He said it would conform to the
Federal pension requirements for SIS
monthly payments.
Thus, he said, though the $50 State
pension is dead, the aged still will
get that amount monthly If State
voters will approve his new measure.
The State would pay SIS, the Federal
Government SIS.

ASUNCION, Paraguay, February 19.
-Paraguay's exiled hero of the Chaco
War, Col. Rafael Franco, turned back
to his homeland today, this time to
assume the government power.
The veteran soldier arranged to fly
back from his seat of exile in Buenos
Aires to head a provisional regime,
succeeding the civilian government Of
President Eusebio Ayala, which was
overthrown Monday by swift mill
tary rebellion.
The chiefs of the revolution, ex-
pecting Frances arrival momesltarily,
said the new government would be
formed Immediately, either as a mill
tary council or a concentration Of
political forces opposed to the Ayala
regime which exiled Franco.
Another Shift Possible.
Col. Camilo Recalde, one of the
leaders of the revolutionaries in Mon
days fighting before loyal forces sur
rendered and President Ayala re-
signed, said a military triumvirate
might take over the provisional
control.
Franco, before taking off from
Buenos Aires, said the Asuncion revo-
lutionaries had Informed him by tele-
phone of their proposed program for
provisional government.
This should confront the problems
Of constitutional readjustment, legal

Associates of Franco said the Para

some of whom have been dissatisfied
with the terms on which the former

JAPAN's WARNING FROM WITHIN.

News dispatches indicate that all is not well with the military regime in Japan Army officers have risen in violence against the present order leaving death and turmoil in Tokyo and fear throughout the empire The exact reason is not yet unfoded but back ground is the swing in Japan to more liberal thought which evnced the recent election in the land of the Rising Sun
 Japan for years has been entirely military in thought To support her growing army and navy machine taxation has scared. But in reply to the closely yguarded protests, the mitarsts have pointed out the necessity of force of if Japan is to expand and become the great power of Asia. The advance into Manchukuo in 1892 gave the military powers added strength for they revealed the need of a machine for expansion. and expansion Japan must have if she is to survive with her rapidly increasing population Since that time the pace has been accelerated in building stronger and stronger military force until the rising power of the Pacific learns suddenly the lesson of top-heavy mii- tary rule.
 There is indication that there will be upset ting of the present martial regime in Japan The mili tarists firmly entrenched But it is highly pos sibe that her expansion program may be sharply curbed. The warning from within probably will have much weight in shaping her future policies thar would any reprimand such the League of Nations attempted to give her in 1892.

A Hater Of War.
(New York Times)

(New York Times)
 Mussolini is rapidly taking his place in the first line of pacifsts. Last week he issued a moving ap- peal to the youth of all Europe (outside Itay) urging them to do everything within their power prevent Its horrors and subsequent mseres he pictured in somber colors Anything which tended to lead breach of the peace of Europe be regarded with the utmost aversion. The Italian Dictator was never more eloquent touching in this call to young manhood not to be led into by blind following of older in temporary control of their Govern ments
 Some time earlier Mussolni had seized another oc cason to express his detestation of It when the League of Nations notified of the agreement of five countries to support each other any one of them attacked by Italy The five Great Britain France Turkey Greece and Yugosavia. When the published and fell under the eye of Mus solin he was filled with grief and despondency Here was another menace" to the peace of Europe. War much probable since these five nations had agreed to do their best not to let break out The whole plan affront to Italy. The implication seems to be that she had thought of attacking Great Britain France any other isolated Power but that the five combined it would be very hard for him to resist the impulse to strike at once Such are the temptations to which even thorough-gon pacitists are subjected in this wicked world
 Let say that the Italian Dictator condemns in others what he allows in himself and that he has needlessly embarked upon bloody in Ethiopia. l He would explain that ths is not at all It is rectifcaton of frontiers It is work of purely do mestc and colonial administration The Italian youth who have lost their lives been previously maimed made chronic invalids in the of this peace full campaign have suffered it is true but have done so gladly and Joyfuy. Young in other parts of Europe not capable of this exalted discipline and patriotism It is for that reason, doubt that Mus solin addressed to them his angushed warning and appeal If they disregard peadings for peace coming from such source they will have snned against the light and their condemnation will be the severe.

Not Yet A King.
tNew York Herald-Tribune)

With many kings and leading statesmen passing through Paris after King Georges funeral it is not surprising that the pretender to the Austrian throne the Archduke Otto, should make hopeful visit there Nor is it surprising that he returned to his exile in Belgium without being any to his desired throne The reason be found in remark attributed to Prince Paul of Yugoslavia printed in French paper, to the effect that if France failed to support Yugoslavias opposition to the restoration of the flaps burgs in Austria Yugosava would have to turn to Germany for help Inasmuch as Germany is also bit
 ery opposed to the restoration it clear that nothing can be done to help Otto for a number of years. Practical political considerations will. of course determine the ultimate fate of this last of the Haps burgs But it is strange to realize that against these considerations of practical politics imponderable force is ever working largely and often unaided This is the tradition of the divine right of kings. To the former Empress mother of the Arch duke Otto the present status of her pretender is merely temporary. She is said to be convinced that as the throne of Austria his by right he will
 regain it in time nasmuch her belief is shared by many others, and the tradition of HapSburg rule deeply embedded n Austrian history it cannot help
 lend strength to the royalst forces.
 But in the mean time the young Archduke is only pawn. His accession to the throne will only be pos sibe when is to the interest foreign powers to permit him to return. It is conceivable that if Ger many were again to attempt to Austria the Archduke might be made king by those forces seeking to prevent the union with Germany But divergent the conflicting interests that such restoration could be made only after bitter political struggle the control of eastern Europe. The countries which received territory from the old Hapsburg monarchy are those most bitterly opposed to the restora effected so to prevent the annexation o Austria by Germany-an eventualty which they also fear It looks, therefore as Otto would continue live quiet exile in Belgium for a long time

Astrologers read this as an unim- portant day, but it is ruled by a fla vorable aspect Mercantile inter ests should be pushed with vigor and expansion of business should be exceedingly profitable. Under this planetary government lawyers and university heads should benefit. Their counsels will be sought in national and internation- al problems which may multiply in the coming months of spring
 Strengthening of defenses on United States coast lines and issues involving the Philippines will be matters of major interest in Wash ington, it is prognosticated, as the spring advances.
 Women will profit by taking thought of their summer wardrobes early in the season. especially those who are partial to cotton dresses. Influenza in varied forms is like ly to be more or less epidemic through the next two months. Spec ial care of colds is advised.
 Recognition of what is termed Japans "cosmic duty" in the Orient is urged by certain astrologers who see that Oriental nation as in vincible' in it's sphere of expan- sion.
 Mingling money with friendship is held as especially hazardous this month. While loans will be easier to negotiate it is wisest to do business with strangers. 1 March is foreseen as a month : that will be unfortunate for Europ- can civilization populations owing to unemployment Both Italy and Germany will meet special prob , lems.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of pos sible increase in income or salary. Land improvements will be prof. itable.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be practical in their view points. industrious and exceedingly ambitious. Subjects of this sign work hard for success.
