ing with Systematic
Precision

WARSAW, Aug. 30.-The Polish
Government today issued orders
calling out an undisclosed number of
new troops to the colors and great
ly increased the number Of men now
under arms.
The call for further mobilization
was ordered as the Government ofv
ficials took an increasingly alarm
ing view of the General European
situation, especially the concentra-
ton of German troops in Slovakia.
The action in calling out more
men to the colors does not consti-
tute a general mobilization.
100000 Men Ready
It is estimated that Poland can
put 100000 in the field on short
notice, so well are the men trained
and ready.
Field observers believe that the
new call will bring up an addition
al half million men, bringing the
total now under army orders to
100000.
The Governments communique
this afternoon stated the Reich has
started an aggressive policy against
the Republic of Poland as mani
tested by the German newspapers.
Border Incidents
The communique says that there
are systematic border incidents,
leaving no doubt that Poland is in
danger.
Scenes of confusion are wit
messed today at the railway sta
ton as civilian women and chill
dren evacuated Warsaw.
All automobiles and trucks are
requisitioned and large quantities
of gas masks, selling at about 80
cents apiece are on the market.
Women are helping the men to
dig new air raid trenches.

F.D.R.'s STATEMENT

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt explained to report
ers today that the detention OF the
German liner Bremen and other
foreign vessels in American ports,
is for the purpose of inspection to
determine whether or not these
vessels could be armed for often
sive purposes.
Roosevelt said inspections are
being made on ships Of all ma
lions, and mentioned the Bremen
by name.
The Presto ent said 1t was in
tended to guard against any poten-
tial liability of the United States
in the event the craft are armed.
Also, Roosevelt expressed the
belief that the failure of Congress
to consider revision of the Neutral
ity Act is contributing factor in
the present European crisis and
said that some quarters considered
this Congressional mistake ma
jor factor in the overseas trouble.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-Frank
McHale, presidential mpaig n
manager for Paul V. McNutt, is not
even missing small bets for support
in 1910.
Somebody tipped him off that
Senator Bone of Washington was
born in Franklin, Ind, which is
McNutt's home town.
"Of course you will support fell
low townsman," he wrote to Senator
Bone.
The power batting Senator from
Washington enjoyed the touch"
But maybe McNutt as a boy did
not have "tfat commanding per-
sonality" which his friends say
now distinguishes him. Anyway,
Bone doesn't remember him.
One of the troubles with the Ad-
ministration's notwithstanding bill

This communication. received last

Poland is unknown. but there is
at least a suggestion that Poland

noticeable or notable economies IN

preparations bill from start to finish.
On the other hand the legislature
took care of practically nothing eX-
cept the normal and natural
growth mentioned by the Governor.
It made few provisions for new and
untried agencies or activities. AT the
same time there was no radical re-
vision of taxing policies. Increases In
total revenue are expected to come
not from new and untried taxes, but
from normal increases in existing tax
sources.
Education.

next step? Definitely twelfth grade

about teachers salaries? :. There is
only one recommendation l have to

on students attending these institu-
tions to make a larger contribution
in the form of tuition charges, as
much as we may regret that course"
Assembly: The session wasn't three
days old before it became amply ap-
parent that it would under no cir

Assembly,: Set up machinery for

books for the primaries On the
absentee question it went further
than the governors recommended
tions, abolishing absentees complete
ly in primary elections and throw
ing around general elections the safe
guards "suggested" by the State
Board of Elections. Provisions for
markers in general elections were
left untouched, and the matter Of
restricting them in primaries is one
of the few important matters not yet
