III GERMAN WAR:
Ships e Planes

Germany and England continued
to blast one another from the air,
with foolhardy ga1lantry. Germany
slowly seemed to be establishing
supremacy of numbers, although
her pilots were sometimes too
young, and not equal on the whole
to the veteran regulars who made
up a considerable portion of the
royal air force: the r. A. F.
In the Mediterranean sea, the
English and French and Italian
fleets continued to skirmish, off
North Africa, off West Africa, off
Greece. Some of the French ships
were surrendered to the British
navy, others were sunk or disabled.
Demobilized French flyers were
Joining up again, this time to help
the Italian airmen bomb British
Gibraltar. There were naval clashes
between the Italian and British sea-
men, who already had eliminated
seven Of the eight French capital
warships. The 43,000-ton "Iie de
France"-that French luxury liner
so well known in America-was
seized by the British at Singapore,
England's No. l naval base in the
Far East, in the Malay peninsula.
The best French warship-35, 900
tons-was knocked out by a British
motorboat, which artfully dropped a
depth bomb near the stern. The vic
tim was the famous Richeieu.

Squadron A is the crack high

NO u. S. TROOPS:
But Billions for Defense

Meanwhile, President Roosevelt
emphatically told congress we would
send no man to European wars, but
would only seek to defend the west

he asked for billions Of dollars. This
presidential statement to congress
tended to match the peace" plank

YE CAMPAIGN:
Fur Flies High

Wendell Willkie appointed Con-
gresham Joe Martin of Massachu-
sets as his campaign manager, and
then flew for Colorado on a vaca-
ton. En- route, the Willkie airplane
stopped In Nebraska. Willkie wise
cracked to the crowd like this:
when / was out here three or four
weeks ago, they said I brought rain.
II you folks vote for me in Novem-
Der, We'll have the rain and the
sunshine of economic progress"
The folks thought that was just fine.
John Hamilton remained executive
director Of the Republican national
committee, though he was retiring
as national chairman. Russell
Davenport was Wilkes personal
representative, and Oren Root kept
busy co-ordinating volunteer groups
and Independent organizations. Ten
newspaper men, three photogra-
piers, and two telegraphists stuck to
Willlie, and to the airplane: a 81
passenger DC-3.
At this point the Democrats had
become more and more chaotic, due
to lack Of information about III term
plans. Farley had been to Hyde
Park, had learned the TRUTH" but
came back to New York saying that
1t was all a secret. McNutt had in
dictated that he knew about it, too,
but Mrs. Roosevelt had said she
didn't know thing. Speculation
was rife up to the time the national
Tl0VOnNrnt
Willkie, of course, had been praying
for the III term Cor 80 he said, in
order to beat 1t down. But he still
had not said anything extended, at
that point, about foreign affairs.

u he Ford Motor Company was founded
by Nottingham for working-men. Its
present officers began as employees Of the
Company. 1t was the first company to pay
minimum wage, beginning in 1914, at
the then astounding figure of IS day.
That was double the prevailing wage of
the time. The Ford minimum is now Sc
day for all employees engaged in pro-
duction work. And from that, the wages
rise to $1,000 a day, with the average wage
$7.25, exclusive of salaried employees.

On Clio Motives

WASHINGTON, March 5. lUP)-
Representative of Chicago, Cali
fornia and Philadelphia, building
trades councils charged today that
antitrust indictments of AFL union
members were inspired by political
motives" and designed to promote
the rival CLOS United ConStruc-
ton Workers organizing committee.
P. j. Sullivan, president of the
Chicago building and construction

president of the California state
building trades and construction
department: and Frank McDevitt,

ing trades council. asserted that
AFL leaders were being singled out
for indictment and branded before
the public as racketeers and

Their remarks were made to more
than 400 AFL building trades leaders
gathered here to perfect united
front" against the Justice Depart

period involved, but for the period
of the bill after April the fol-
lowing conclusions are apparent
from the controllers records:
During April, 1899, $4459,2 was
spent by the SRA. Adding the 40
per cent average increase for the
current fiscal year brings the indi-
Gated requirement to $6,242 1872.
This figure then will have to be
reduced by 44.94 per cent to con-
form to the restricted allotment.
For May, the 1889 figure was
S3,992 903.50. with the projected re-
quirement for this year amounting
to $5,590,064.90, requiring a 1888
reduction to conform to the SO 900, =
600 allowed BY the legislature.
Disregarding any increase in re-
lief requirements over last year the
appropriations are still nearly one
quarter under the actual figures
for last year. For April the allot-
ment WIS reduced 2l.52 per cent and
for May 24.87 per cent.
Restrictions going into effect April
l will trim relief requirements to
a large extent. These provisions
include s58 ceiling on family bud
gets. no relief to illegally entered
aliens, and extensive regulations
governing eligibility and expenditure
of funds.
A limit of IS per cent is put on
administrative expenses of the SRA.
Overhead in the past has not been
far above this percentage but the
limit Will be figured on a smaller
total appropriation and will require
extensive staff reductions in the
relief agency.

Records Show Sharp Cut
Mandatory in SRA Costs

SACRAMENTO Mar 5. (UP)-
Records of the state controllers
office today bore out Gov. Culbert
Olson's contention that the $12.-
100000 temporary relief bill passed
over his veto will require a more
than 40 per cent cut in relief costs
Disbursements by the SRA during
the first seven months of the fiscal
year which began July have been
averaging approximately 40 per cent
above those for the same months
of the preceding year, and the
temporary bill cuts below actual
expenditures in 1889 by nearly ST.
100000 a month.
On the other hand, comparison
of expenditures for the last four
years reveals that had the 40 per
cent rate of increase been allowed

fiscal year total costs for 1894
would have been more than 2l2
