Lewis Penn, Colored, Draws Eight- Year Term—Other Sentences. Justice Siddons in Criminal Divi- sion 2 today sentenced Lewis Penn, colored, to serve eight years ia the penitentiary following his ccaviction of an attempted criminal assault on an eight-year-old colored girl. Penn is_married. Four years in the penitentiary was imposed on Albert W. Krause, young white man. who pleaded guilty to holdini up Albert N. Gates and re- lieving him of $70 at the point of a pistol. Henry 'Larman, a younger companion of Krause, was sent to the | penitentiary for two years. Frank Allen, who formerly worked on the President's yacht. Mayflower, was given a term of three years in the penitentiary. Allen shortly after midnight boarded a car of the Capi- tal Traction Company. near the end of the line, at 17th street and Penn- sylvania avenue southeast. and plac- g a pistol at the breast of the onductor took from him his wallet and coin carrier. Charles Leemon and James Steele, white youths, were each sent to the penitentiary for two years by Justice Siddens.

Ogden Says He “Sat Still” and Even Stdod in Way of" Mine Legislation. The course of Gov. Morgan of West Virginia with respect to mine disor- ders in Mis state was criticised before the Senate investigating committee today by H. C. Ogden. publisher of the ‘Wheeling News and the Wheeling In- telligencer. The West Virginia governor, Mr. Ogden declared, had “sat still” on a iparty platform pledging abolition of the mine guard system and not.only had not pressed such legislation, but had stood in its path. Mr. Ogden also told the committee that effective use of the state con- istabulary by the governor would have obviated the necessity for calling in | federal troops in the recent condi- tions of violence. He sald the gover- nor had no powr to remove summarily state and local authorities who fail to function properly, and that had state executive such powers he believed some of the situations leading to the uprising might never have occurred. Reorganization of the state militia, now in process, will end much of the trouble, the Wheeling publisher be- lieved. He expressed the opinion that federal troops never would be needed again. Mr. Ogden was not optimistic con- cerning absolute stoppage of the trouble in the mine districts, al- though he said they may not recur in the intensity of the last eighteen months. He predicted there would be a renewal of -the controversies next spring, when the biennial wage contracts expires B l the § MARSHAL FOCH'S LIFE PREACHING MILITARY STRA TEGY VINDICATED Marshal Ferdinand Foch might well be called the fighting pro- fessor. One of the foremost lecturers on military subjects in Europe, he won honors on the early battle- flelds of the world war. and in its last year, as the supreme com- mander of an allied force of 10 000,000 men, ccessfully practised the strategy he had preached so many years in the French War College. The morning of November 11, 1918, found him, a marshal of France, sitting in his private car behind the lines, smoking his pipe and waiting, in the unnatural calm that followed the hushing of the big guns, the coming of the Ger-" man envoys to-ask for peace at the allies’ price. The professor's theo- ries of strategy and moral force in warfare had been vindicated. Foch fought in the Franco-Prus- sian war as a second lieutenant, as did Joffre. They were both born in the south of France. Foch worked for the rest of his life with the shame and humiliation of that debacle in his mind.

The executivi of the shop crafts. representing 600.000 men, announced that they would not authorize a walk- out. This was the first others followed rapidly until every one of the eleven “standard unions except the Order of Railway Teleg- raphers had refused to authorize a strike. The decision of the United States Labor Board on July 1 authorizing the railroads to reduce wages of their emplo: an average of 121z per cent was the event in the series which led up to the orders for a general strike by six unions. So soon as dered a ma voted overwhelmingly strike,rather than accept a wage cut, although on some lines, notably the Pennsylvania, there were divisions where groups of workers voted not to strike. Sees Danger in Present Methods. Attacking both the Interstate Com- merce Commission and the United States Railroad Labor Board as efficient,” Samuel C. Dunn, editor of Railway Age, vesterday declared that the government's policy in dealing with the carriers was far more seri- ous than the present strike crisis. “A continuance of the present policy of thetInterstate Commerce Commis- sion on the one hand and the Labor Board on the other will inevitably recult in acute traflic congestions ind a general demoralization similar to that which caused the ‘outlaw’ rail strikes in 1920.”" Mr. Dunn said. “The strike crisis is a serious mat- ter.

PRESIDENT IS PLEABED. i ! this decision was ren- i in favor of a 1 i Expresses Gratification Over Strike Settlement in Chicago. Although lacking details as to the calling off of the threatened railroad strike, President Harding expressed gratification at the overnight devel- opments on his return to Washington today from his southern trip and in- dicated a hope that the decision inst a strike would be a first Sfep toward a reconstruction of the whole rallway situation. Members of for the Friday meeting, while de- clining to make formal statements prior to their conference with the President, informally expressed sat- isfaction. The belief has been per- sistent in official ‘quarters in Wash- ington ever since the strike call was issued that a walkout would be averted, and the President is said %o haye shared In such a belief from the first. The fir: st news that the strike order had been recalled reached the Presi- dent's train late last night, after he had retired, and he did not hear of it until just before his train entered the capital. As he shook hands with members of the train crew and told them good-bye, the President said to a group of them: «Glad Strike Is Off,” He Says. «Pm glad the strike is off, and so are you, aren’t you?"

He studied the Ger- man war machine, the psychology of its leaders, the reasons for their mistakes and their successes. Later, as a professor in the War College, he wrote text books on the conduct of war and the prin- ciples of war. He worked with enthusiasm and patriotic fervor to indoctrinate ‘the yqung French officers with the principle of the offensive at all costs. Battles are won morally, as well as material- ly. he said, and he stressed the moral element in modern warfare. As general commanding a force of 120,000 men, Foch found himself opposed by a German army of 200,- 000 men at the first battle of the Marne in 1914. As the battle pro- gressed, aides rushed' in to warn him both his wings were being pushed back. “We must attack in the center,” said Foch. “Order up the Moroccans, The German center, composed of sian Guards, the flower of army, gave way under this unexpected onslaught, and later » observation brought news och of a gap in the German line.

Tribute to Roosevelt. With his praise of Grady the Presi- dent coupled a tribute to Theodore Roosevelt, of whose Georgia lineage he declared the whole south should be proud. The address follows in part: “To come to Georgia is to come to the heart of the south. To come to Georgia on this, of all_days of the vear—the birthday of Roosevelt— 10 realize that the heart of the south throbs for all the nation. To the mak- ing of that typical American of the new era went equally the warmer strains of the old south and the sturdy stock that gave the nation its empire state. “So it is good, in greeting you men and women of Georgia, to recall the reer of that outstanding American who in his life, as in his lineage. taught us how much we are pros- pered and exalted because of being united. And, coming thus among you. it is peculiarly a satisfaction to speak from the shadow of the shaft which you have reared to the memorys of one who taught a reunited nation its dut s obligations. its possibilities. For 1 recall the thrill with which 1| tead, as a young man, the address of Henry W. Grady to the New Eng- | land Club; that most famous oration, I think, of its generation: that inspir- {ing call to a nation to awaken to it- {self. to understand that its yester- {day was dead, its tomorrow pregnant {with magnificent opportunity. ¢ Grady's Gospel “If ever one man was ordained to | speak with the tongue of conviction and the voice of a great people, that man was Grady. With heart aglow and tongue inspired, he felt it his duty to preach the gospel of new un- derstanding, and. having uttered his new gospel at home, he came north, the evangel of a new day, and made his New England speech. ' Since that night he has belonged not to you of Georgia, but to the nation. to the truly reunited nation, of which, in his day. he was the foremost apostle and spokesman. “The other day there came into my hands a_volume of the letters of a group of eminent Georgians of the civil_war and reconstruction period. In the main they represented the correspondence of Alexander H. Ste- phens, Howell Cobb, Robert Toombs | and Gov. Joe Brown. Especially was 1 interested in the extensive corre- spondence between these southern leaders and prominent men of the north which was carried on at that period. 1t was nothing less than as- tonishing to note how little of bit- terness, of resentment, of hatred and recalcitrance _was manifested on either side. They were all back in the harness, working for the restora- tion of their state, their people, their preserved country. They held their} heads high, had no apologies to make for the past, but were looking clear- eved to the future of indissoluble union. Spirit of Reconstruction. “That was the spirit which made reconstruction, dgspite bungling and some exceptional manifestations of acerbity, on the whole so rapid and effective a process, when measured by like incidents in human history. They wanted to be taken back into full fellowship. ‘We would rather have one Immigrant from the north than fifty from Europe’ wrote one a few years after Appomatox, and he urged his northern friend to make the northern people understand how welcome they would be. Not even the unreconstructible hatred of old Thad Stevens could maintain an ef- fective front against such appeals as that. The north did come to you, with olive branch instead of sword, and you went to the north and west and became full partners in making that new empire which together we carved out of the transmissouri wilderness, and now trutly there can be descried no sectional division of this land. “It has seemed to me, in the period since the world war ended, that the world at large might well let us show it the marvel which was wrought through a reunited ani restored America. Because there was the will to get down to work, to cease repinings and regrets, we have among us erected here, out of the wreck- age that our war wrought, a country in which we may fitly take the pride which every American feels. “Who would great, rich, progressive, powerful, and enlightened America which we | | i i has been in these years of crisis and i for many times |last night at Odd Fellows’ Hall made d | of rep: have ours less than the | quested to send delegates to the con- justly boast today? Who would have | gat: it less a figure in the world than itl Wells, president of the Blaine Club, Qisaster?What friend of civilization, of Christianity, of human advance- ment, would have wished our part less than it has been? Who among us all is not proud that we were able to participate very notably in the rescue of humanity in the struggle which menaced its very exisetnce? Who would have us relinquish now our service for a better civilization? “Either the race will advance or it will retrograde; it will not stand still. It has had a tremendous lesson, and I am one of those who firmly bel that this lesson will be analyzed, tested, scrutinized, and made to af ford us at last & direction for future effort. Great Love for Peace. “I believe, for instance, that cvery family which has lost a member in the struggle to save mankind from absolutism; every citizen-soldier who Y ngs to that cause; every gold-star mother, or maimed veteran, will agree ‘that peace i preferable to war, and that to train a world in the ways of peace is better than to prepare it for war. 1 would not have you misconstrue. 1 1 believe it wholly consistent to preach peace and its triumphs in that convincing sincerity which an un- selfish nation commands and yet make sure about our proper defense “Manifestly, mankind is disposed to try that experiment. If trying it, nations shall fail, it will be no fault of the United States of America. We are ready to offer a helping hand in the new path. We have tendered our invitation, and the cordial acceptance which ha$ come from every quarter leads to earncst hope for good re- sults.
