to produce this last fall, with so
many backs out of action.
Jones will call on little scrim-

had its share of hard work, and he
doesn't care to risk any further
chance of injury.
Duke must look for all the fast
starting speed it can locate, plus
an effective passing game, to make
any dent in this Trojan wall.

MEN ARMED WITH
 RIFLES ARE BEST

Hartford, Conn.,, Jan. 21.-(UP)- Assistant Secretary of War Louis Johnson said today that despite amazing advances in construction of aircraft, tanks, and heavy weapons, the reliance of the United States in future wars will be on "the men armed with rifles and bayonets."
 "Airplanes may be more spectac- ular," Johnson told local insurance club, tanks more awesome and long range and anti-craft guns more pie turesque, but the rifle in the hands of a plodding doughboy is still our first machine of defense.
 Tt is up to us in time of peace, so to plan our program of prepared ness to assure him his weapons, his rations and his equipment and to minimize for him his burden and his hardships.
 "It is up to us to strengthen his auxiliaries, the artillery, the tanks and the airplaneS, so that they may make it easier for him to move for ward and to attain his objectives.
 With these purposes in mind the war department has evolved its pro- gram of industrial mobilization.
 In the Hartford area, Johnson said, more than 300 plants have been selected to produce large pro- portion of arms and ammunition ir event of war.

WIFE PRESSES DIVORCE CLAIM
Husband Attempts to With= draw His Petition Be-
 fore Trial Opens

AS his wife took the superior court witness stand today to voice her plea for alimony pending trial of di- vorce action and an allowance for counsel fees, Joseph Lombardo made motion to withdraw the divorce &C., tion which he has filed against her.
 But Mrs. Lombardo, the former Joyce Orlowski, had other ideas, and through her counsel, Attorney Mi chael V. Blansfeld, objected to the withdrawal, because she has filed a counter claim, seeking divorce from her husband. Lombardos petition for withdrawal of the action was presented by his counsel, Attorney Frank SuInma. Judge McEvoy re- served decision.
 Lack of funds was given as the reason for Lombardo'S desire to withdraw.
 It was explained that Lombardo had filed the suit while he was work ing and earning a living wage. At the present time the situation is re- versed. Since he filed his action for divorce, which claims desertion July 3, 1884, his wife has filed 8 counter claim, also alleging desertion on the same date. She will also claim in tolerable cruelty, it is said. The couple was married November 13, 1883.

ELEVEN HURT IN
 TROLLEY PANIC

Boston, Jan. 21-(UP)-Eleven persons nursed injuries, mostly minor, today as result of panic that spread among 115 passengers when an overhead trolley wire snapped and burned through window of a Boston elevated railway street car III the South End last night.
 Scores were trampled as passen- gers fought for the exits in the cen- ter of the damned car. Heat gen. erated by the sputtering wire that burned its way through a window heightened the panic.
 One passenger, Thomas Brown, 40, smashed a window and crawled out. He was tugging at the doors from the outside when they sud- denly opened and passengers tum- bled out, many falling on the snow slippery ground.
 Conductor Kenneth Gates told investigators that he was prevented from opening the doors at first by the crush of passengers about the control of the darkened car. The car had only 52 seats.
