This, it was thought at that time, would permit free entry under the tariff act for all paper actually used in publication of newspapers and compel assessment of duties against various other forms. The publishers’ representatives de- clared yesterday that the 10 per cent tolerance from the 32-pound average ‘Was too great, and .suggested a limi- tation of 5 per cent. Treasury of- ficfals, however, were not convinced that b per cent was the correct figure, and it was made known that Mr. Mellon, after issuing his ruling, had ordered an investigation by the Bu- reau of Standards.

Plans for pushing the prosecution of Public Printer George H. Carter for his alleged “gross irregularities” in dealing with ex-service men em- ployed at the Government Printing Office will be formally considered at a mass meeting tonight at 7:30 o'clock in the boardroom of the District Bullding of representatives of vet- erans' organizations of Washington. The whole question of protecting the Interests of ex-service men in the Government departpents will be taken up at the same time, it was announced today by Willlam Homer Carroll, de- partment commander of the Veterans' of Foreign' Wars, a member of a"com- mittee of veterans appointed recently to look into the charges against Mr. Carter. Committees to Be Named At the mas$s meeting committees will be appointed to confer with the heads of the executive departments and with President Coolldge to “ac- quaint them with thé situation.” Plans are already under way to as- semble the complaints and formulate a course of action for the protection of veterans discharged and for the purpose of preveating further dis- charges without cause, Mr. Carroll stated. ¢ The allied vetergns' committee has employed Harlan Wood, a local at- torney, to asist it in the conduct of its campaign. Mr. Wood himself is a World War veteran and has made a special study of veterans' preference laws. e Reports that the administrative council of the Veterans of Foreign Wars here did not approve of the de- partment commander’'s fight agalnst Mr. Carter were denled today by Mr. Carroll. Says Council Backs Move. He said that the council voted to indofse his action, without qualifica- tion, in protecting the interests of ex-service men, and that this action meant he would be backed in any fight against the head of a depart- ment who fafled to deal properly with the veterans, “including Mr. Carter.” Mr. Carroll declared that the national commander of his or- ganization has written him a letter of commendation. In a statement announcing the| “Mary's Little Lamb,” innocent nursery rhyme that it may be, led the members of the Friday Morning Mu- o Club a merry frolic, cloaked in the planistic idioms-of ten famous com- posers, yesterday morning under the stald title “Variations,” by Edward Ballantine. As Mr. Ballantine is di- Tector of music at Harvard University there seems even Jess reason to ex- pect ‘this untlushing frivolity .and really “Alice in Wonderlandish” hu- mor, a delighttul oasis of comedy in the midst of more serious music. Mildred Kolb. Schulze, talented young planist.of Washington, played the “Theme and Varlations” and gra- clously told the quaint notes accom- panying each variation, adding much to the charm of the whole. Inel- dentally, Mrs. Schulze showed marked ability in portraying the distinctive style of each composer borrowed for the occasion and excellent technique, with smooth trills and rippling glis- sandos, the latter particudarly notice- able in the Liszt varlation. Emily Marsh, lyric soparno, sang a short "group of songs charmingly. Called up at the eleventh hour, duc to the illness of Mrs. Willlam T. Reed, Mra. Marsh proved herself a poised singer, capable of filling the emer- gency. She showed wisdom in choos- ing short, well written songs that suited her type of volce and left her audlence wanting more. Henri Sokoloy, 4 leading young vio- linist here, who is not often heard in solo recital, but has become noted for hie fine playing in the National String Quartet, gave two short groups of delightful numbers with the skill and rich tane of a poised musician. Mrs, Schulze accompanied the singer and Miss Lucy Brickenstein was at the plano for Mr. Sokolov. 10,000,000 REPORTED TO BE STARVING IN CHINA Shortage of Food Reported in 8 Provinces in North and West Following Floods.
