His Successor
lis Successor

The early appointment Of a new
Wage-hour administrator to sue
ceed Elmer F. Andrews, who would
go to another Federal post, was
rumored in official circles today.
The change, it was said, would
come about in the realignment of
some administrative agencies to
deal with emergencies arising out of
the war.
Stephen Early, White House secre-
tary, said he knew nothing of the
reported move.
One of those mentioned as a pos
sible successor to Mr.. Andrews was

graduate and New Deal trouble
shooter" Col. Fleming, a former
graduate manager of athletics at
West Point, has had service with the
Public Works Administration, Re-
settlement Administrator and the
Passamaquoddy Dam project in
Maine. He is now district engineer
at St. Paul, and it was said at the
War Department today that no or
ders have been issued for a new as
signment.
Mr.. Andrews, who was State in
dustrial commissioner for New York
when President Roosevelt was Gov
ernor, was brought here last year to
organize the Wage-Hour Division
when the law creating 1t was en-
acted.

officer of the Wage-Hour Unit, re-
Gently was transferred to the Ma

"People of this country left Eu-
rope originally to get away from
the war and mess over there, Sc
why should we listen to the beating
drums to get us back into some
thing we don't want?"
That's the manner in which the
Right Rev. Louis c. Vaeth, pastor
of Our Lady Of Victory Church
and a chaplain overseas during the
World War, sums up his sentiments
regarding the present European
conflict.
Msgr. Vaeth had a lot of ques-
tions to ask In his impromptu ad-
dress last night at a meeting Of
the American Legion Post No. 40
at Palisades Park.
He assailed the 40 per cent
minority who are whipping up a
war hysteria in this country"
Having returned only last week
from Europe, Msgr. Vaeth was able
to describe graphically the flight
Of women and children from war
centers across the Atlantic.

Lawrence Sherman,
Former Senator,
Dies in Florida
Helped Block U. S.
Ratification Of Treaty
OF Versailles
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, Sept. 16
Lawrence Yates Sherman, go
former United States Senator from
Illinois, died here last night, where
he had lived quietly since retiring
from active life more than five
years ago.
He had been In failing health for
some time.
Mr.. Sherman, who was Illinois
"favorite son" candidate for the Re-
publican presidential nomination in
1916, entered the United States Sem
ate March 26, 1918, in place of Will
liam Lorimer, who had been I'M
seated. In 1915 he was elected to a
full six-year term.
He left the Senate in March, 1921,
and moved to Florida several years
later, where he became banker
and practiced law.
Mr.. Sherman, product Of the
Illinois prairies, was noted in the
days Immediately following the
World War as one of the bitter
enders' of the United States Senate
who defeated ratification of the
peace treaty of Versailles because it
embraced the covenant of the League
of Nations.
A brilliant orator, strong in his
convictions and gifted with a fair
for caustic epigram, he was one OF
the most persistent foes Of the
Woodrow Wilson plan for bringing
the United States into the new world
organization. At one stage he de-
serted his Republican colleagues and
voted with the Democrats in order
to prevent a compromise on the
reservations proposed by Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts,, and which
formed the crux of the fight.
Mr.. Sherman, in the long legisla-
tive struggle, attacked President
Wilson personally as an autocrat
said he was IAN usurper of author
ity" and called him the monarch
of cutters"
He was skilled as q parliament
tartan and used his aptness in that
field to help outmaneuver the Will
Sonian forces. Illustrative Of this

Suicide Certificates
Issued in 7 Deaths

Suicide certificates had been is
sued today by Coroner A. Magruder
Macdonald in two deaths.
The certificates were for Andrew
Adam, 26, of 2123 o street NV,
and Mrs. Mary Ann English, 81, of
2l21 Virginia avenue NV.
Mr.. Adam was found in the kitchen
Of his home yesterday afternoon by

summoned by neighbors who COM
planned of the odor of gas. He was
pronounced dead at the scene. Po-
lice were told he had been deSpond-

Mrs English died in Emergency
Hospital yesterday afternoon, where
she had been taken from her apart
ment. She had swallowed poison,
doctors said. Third precinct police
said she was discovered by her hus-
band, Bruce, whose address was

was a filibuster which he helped
conduct in March, 1919, in an effort
to force Wilson to call an extra ses-
sion and thus prevent him from
returning to the peace conference
in Paris. Mr.. Sherman spoke for 13
hours against one appropriation bill
and clung SO closely to his subject
that no one had a chance to halt him
on point of order.
To the end of his term he re-
manned one of that little group of
wilful men, representing no opinion
but their own" in which President
Wilson catalogued the filibustering
foes of his administration.
Mr.. Sherman's Senate term ended
in March. 1921, and three years later
he moved to Florida to become a
banker and practice law at Daytona
Beach.

ROOSEVELT MAKES PLEA FOR LARGE PROGRAM, PLANNING
 RESETTLENENT FOR REFUGEES

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18. - Pre- dieting that between 10,000,000 and 2O.O00000 may become refugees as the result of the European war, President Roosevelt proposed a gi- gantic program of resettlement in the vacant places of the earth.
 The President told the Inter Governmental Committee on Politi- cal refugees, that the United States and other neutrals must press the task of building new refuges for the tired, the poor and for the hud- dled masses yearning to be free.
 We have been working on too small a scale, yes a scale, and have failed to apply modern engineering to our task
 We know already there are many comparative vacant spaces on the earth's surface where from point of view, climate and natural re- sources, Europeans can live per- manently.

By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.-Regard- less of the source of the thunder ing noises off the coast of Norway, sea going opinion here is that Ger many's toy-time battle fleet is some thing to be reckoned with.
 There isn't enough sea power in the whole German navy to stand shoulder to shoulder with even one squadron of first line British ves- sells. But the German power does not lie in that direction. The threat is the possibility that one of hel battleships may get out into the open sea as a commerce raider. In- stantly it would multiply British commerce problems, sky-rocket in- surance, and make the mistress of the seas very ruffled matron in- deed.
 Toy-like as some of the Ger man ships are, there are only three ships in the British navy that can touch any of five German ships in a running fight in the open sea.
 The net result would be that so long as the German ship remained at large, the convoy system would

Claims ne-fourth of A. lacking Nazi Planes
 Didn't Get Home
(Bv Associated Press)

Great Britain has made good beginning" in the war against Ger many. Premier Neville Chamberlain declared today in speech, his week ly war report, before the House Of Commons
 Chamberlain minimized British losses, claiming Germany has lost more than one fourth of the planes sent over in raiding the British Isles.
 Work of Defense
 The diplomatic head of England also paid tribute in brief weekly war report, to the work of defense forces in fighting off the first Ger man air attacks on Great Britain, "In the first air battles fought over our own coasts, we destroyed eight enemy aircraft without losing a single machine of our own" MT. Chamberlain said.
 He added that several more Ger man bombers might have failed to return home. and said the casualties in the German flying forces thus certainly exceeded twenty-five per cent of the attacking force and may have been higher"
 Navy Losses
 The British Navy has sustained severe losses of both officers and men" said Chamberlain, in referring to the sinking of the battleshjp Royal Oak last Saturday and cas- ualties inflicted by German raiders at the Firth of Forth on Monday. Sixteen men were killed in Mon- days raid and BIO men went down with the Royal Oak when sub torpedoed her at Scarpa Flow, Brit ish naval base in the Orkney Islands off the North Scottish coast.

 The German vessels, including the three pocket battleships and the two heavier ones built since Ger many broke away from Versailles restrictions, can outrun the British nayy's heaviest battleships. In a shoulder -to-shoulder battle, tn e British ships would win every time. But the German ships could run away, and be free to prey on lighter members of the fleet or on com merce.
 The pocket battleships can do 26 knots or better. The heavy British battleships can do only g to 24. The two heavier German ships, approximately 25,000 ton creatures can turn on 3l knots or better.
