Trinkle to fill the vacancy as division quartermaster caused by the sudden death in an automobile acci- dent of Lieut. Col. Joseph Le Masurier. The Governor of Maryland will be called upon to appoint an officer to 11l the plans and training billet made -ant by the relief, at his own re- «quest, of Lieut. Col. E. Brooke Lee.

Mary- land also has another vacancy on the staff, that in the grade of captain as Jjudge “advocate general. This was made vacant by the promotion of Capt. George Henderson, Maryland National Guard to major, and his detail on the staff of the Maryland National Guard. Pvt. Richard W. Hawxhurst has been ~ordered honorably discharged from the 29th Military Police Com- pany on account of his removal from the District of Columbia. The United States Civil Service Com- mission will conduct the examinations of candidates from the local Guard for appointment to West Point. The Guard of this city has one vacancy to fill each year, and thus far has been able to get a candidate each | year. Fach of the four classes at the | academy now has a young man who received his first taste of military life in the local National Guard, and from late reports all stand high in their respective classes. Gen. Stephan requested the commission to conduct | the examinations for the Guard this year. Heretofore, they have been con- ducted by the regular officers on duty | with the Guard. | _The commission has informed Gen- Stephan that it will conduct the e | aminations this year on October 24, next, when it conducts examinations for the same reason for Senators and Representative: The commission points out that the passing of the examinations which it gives does not admit candidates to either the mill- tary or naval academies, but that the tests are for the purpose of enabling Senators and Representatives to make their selections for designation for ap- pointment a a result of open com petition, with the further assurance that those who pass the examination | will stand a fair chance of passing the entrance examinations given by | the military or naval academy. | The list of subject for these ex- aminations follows: Three and one | halt hours, algebra, plane geometr: |and English composition and lite; ture; intermission of one-half hour and then two hours for United States his v, general history; group I, ancient : group 1I, medieval and mod- ern history, and group III, English history. One hour, English grammar, (sclence). Two hours allowed oth subjects are taken. Armory drill pay checks for the quarter just ended were received at the armory and distributed to the various commands during the week. | Dr. Hyman D. Shapiro has been rec- | comended by Gen. Stephan for com- | mission as first lieutenant in the | Medical Corps to fill the vacancy in the medical detachment of the 121st Regiment of Engineers. He was rec comended for the position by Maj. J. Allen, commanding the al detachment, and Capt. S. N. son, 1 officer of the 260th | Coast Artille It is expected that | his commission will be issued in time | for him to go to camp next week with | the medical detachment. | There is one other vacancy in the | medical unit, that of veterinarian, but there are at present no candidates for this position, and it is not likely that it will be filled previous to the com- ing encampment. The following published to the last Tuesday: “Upon the recommendation of the commanding officer, Company B, 121st paragraph 2 of special |orders No. 64, these headquarters, | dated November 14, 1924, in so far as it relates to the dropping of Private H. Carson Hayes as a deserter, is re- | voked, and he is hereby restored to {duty and will report to the command- |ing” officer, Comp: 1y 21st Engl- | neers, for duty. “Private Hayes having been absent without leave since September 30, 1924, will have the period of his en- listment extended by a period of nine months and six days, and he will not be discharged by reason of expiration of term of service until October 16, 1925.” Lieut. H. H. Pohl, U. S. Army Engi- neer Corps, instructor of the local ard, made a special inspection of Companies B, C, D and F, 121st Engi- neers, last week, to determine whether they were qualified to retain Federal recognition. These units had fallen below strength, since they were originally recognized by the War De- partment, and the special inspection |was ordered. During the interim be- tween the Inspection and the orders { for renuous efforts were made to |recruit the commands up to the re- juired strength, as it was realized, nd if they failed to pass just before camp time, a full regiment would not |be_taken to camp. | Lieut. Pohl's report showed the fol- |lowing result: Strength on rolls at in- pection for Company B, 62 men; pres- lent for inspection, 42 men; recruits | obtained since May 1, 16 men. Company C: Sixty-five on the rolls; present and 9 recruits obtained since May 1. | Company D: Sixty-five on the rolls; 0 present, and 11- recruits obtained since May 1. | Company F, 78 on the present, and 26 recruits since May 1. 'As these units now have the re- quired maintenance strength and have had over 60 per cent enlisted | strength present at every drill for the last month,” said Lieut. Pohl's was special order arill commands at rolls; & obtained be removed from probation.” The 260th Coast Artillery has just issued the first number of its little paper called “The 260th Coast Artil- lery Bulletin.” It will be used for service news items and comment and will be used to officially publish or- ders to the command. It was announced in the Bulletin that the organization will go to Fort Washington, Md., today, where Sergt. Cox, U. S. A., stationed there, will ! give instruction in dismantling and reassembling the breech mechanism of the 10-inch guns. This, says the Bulletin, will be of particular interest {to the men holding position as gun j commanders, chiefs of breech, etc. The trip is to be made on the Army transport Gen. Rucker, leaving the arsenal dock at 11 o'clock this morn- |ing, and returning this evening at 6:30 o'clock. Last minute details for the depart- ure of the artillery for camp will be completed at the drill Wednesday night. All men are urged to be pres- ent. Capt. Thomas Lane, commanding Company F, 121st Engineers, an- nounced the following promotions in his command: Battalion Sergt. Maj. Hobart T. Walker, transferred to this company and promoted to top sergeant; Corpl. Alfred W. Liutich, to sergeant; Pvts., first class, John D. Powers, Norman C. Copp and Richard T. Jones, to be sergeants, and Pvts. Joel Rexnek, Sol Rezneck, Thomas A. McGarrin, Alvin R. Strawmeyer, Leo G. Keopfie, Lance E. Tompkins and Edwin W. Saunders, to be corporals. These promotions were made as a result of a competitive examination held on July 28 and conducted under the direction of Lieut, H. H. Pohl, U. S. A., instructor, and Capt. Lane. The members of Company F, 121st Engineers, contributed $50 last Tues- day night to the special mess fund being raised by the F' Company Club. Mess Sergt. Green will buy extra food with this fund. Supply Sergt. Potter, Company F, 121st Engineers, will be on duty at the armory every day and evening this week to equip new men and ex- change quartermaster supplies for pembers of thiz mnit.

Representatives of eight of the countries which ratified the two nine- power treaties relating to China, en- tered Into at the Washington confer- ence on limitation of armament, met the State Department last week d exchanged formal . ratifications. Secretary of State Kellogg will now notify each of the nations concerned that the ratifications have been de- posited in Washington, as required. The first of the treaties is an agree- ment for respecting Chinese territorial rights and a recognition of the “open- door” policy there. The second re- lates to a revision of Chirese customs duties tb add to the revenue for the Chinese government. Fifty thousand miles of highways, stretching from the Atlantic to the acific and from the Canadian to the Mexican borders, will be designated “‘United States Highways" and marked with standard signs warning the mo- torlst of approaching curves, railroad crossings and other road conditions. The work was begun last week by the Joint Board on Interstate Highways, which met in Washington. Gen. Pershing opened the first ses- sion of the Tacna-Arica Plebiscite Commission last week at Arica, Chile. The commission is to carry out a ple- biscite to determine the nationality of the provinces of Tacna and Arica, thus deciding the controversy between Peru and Chile over the territory. In his address Gen. Pershing declared that all those in the world who desire peace must feel gratified by the acceptance on the part of Peru and Chile of the principle of arbitration. Roy A. Haynes, prohibition commis- sioner, is virtually deprived ot all his former power through the new Treas- ury regulations reorganizing the en- forcement branch of that department. The authority of enforcement 1s placed in the hands of the 24 administrators who will preside over the districts into which the country is divided. Assist- ant Secretary of the Treasury An- drews, the new ‘“czar” of enforce- ment, declared that Mr. Haynes, how- ever, would remain his ‘“right-hand man.” The 135th birthday anniversary of the United States Coast Guard was observed last week in Washington, on all ships at sea and at all shore sta- tions. Older than the United States Navy, the Coast Guard came into be- ing August 4, 1790, and has played a gallant part in all wars in which the United States has since been engaged. Political Economy: Some of the outstanding thoughts voiced at the session of the Institute of Politics at Willlamstown last week were: That the Washington conference on limitation of armament practically settled the peace of the Pacific and in. sured the integrity of our possessions. —Rear Admiral W. W. Phelps, 2 mem- ber of the Naval Board here. That France hopes to turn over part of the money received from Germany's reparation payments for rehablilitation work In the war area, provided “we do not have to turn over to our friends the whole of the moneys we get out of it."—Robert Masson, prominent French banker. That the United States cannot be counted on to continue to furnish 60 per cent of the world’s ofl supply, and we must rely on other sources in the face of a growing demand.—Prof. Charles K. Leith of the University of Wisconsin. That American prestige in the Carib- bean has lost ground in the last five vears, a situation partly due to the fact tht American Ministers there have been political appointees, unfa- miliar with the people or with the duties confronting them.—Otta Schoen- rich, former special commissioner to Santo Domingo. That the Monroe Doctrine should be made a common policy for all the Americas.—George H. Blakeslee, pro- the day of embarkation for camp. Gen. Stephan presented commis- |sions to_the following officers at the |armory Tuesday night: _First Lieut. | Walter A. Knight; First Lieut. Walter | S. Welsh; Second Lieut. Alfred R. Jorgensen and Second Lieut. Walter | B. Hamliton. Headquarters and Service Company of the 121st Regiment of Engineers stepped into top place in the drill attendance last week, and the Medical | Detachment, 121st Engineers, which has held that position for several weeks was forced down to sixth place. | The percentages, in order follow, and {some of them were so close that it was necessary to carry them out eight figures: Headquarters and Service | Company, 121st Engineers, 82.14; 29th Military Police Company, 80.00; Com- pany A, 1st Separate Battalion of In- fantry, 80.00; Company C, 121st Engi- neers, 76.56; Company A, 121st Engi- neers, 75.55; Medical .

All | officers except those of Company A, |121st Engineers, qualified for pay at this drill. Naval Reserve. With the third contingent of offi- cers and men of the United States Naval Reserve of the District of Co- lumbia aboard, the U. S. destroyer Childs returned here yesterday from a two-week training cruise. The offi- | cers and men reported that they have {had an excellent training cruise, hav- ing visited New York, Provincetown, I!ns])ecled the torpedo station at New- port, R. 1, and also stopped at Bath, Me. Both officers and men received much valuable instruction from the Regular officers and men aboard. The vessel is in comméand of Comdr. Goss. The Childs will remain here for a few days, according to present plans, and then will return to her station with the scouting fieet. The U. S. destroyer Toucey is expected here this week to begin Saturday the fourth of the training cruises planned for the local reserves. It will make the same ports as the Childs did.

Politics. The President’s advocacy of the World Court will recelve the backing of Senate Democrats in the next ses- sion, provided the President does not try to attach too many reservations to molify the “irreconcilables.” This Is the consensus of Democratic Senate leaders, who so expressed themselves last week. If President Coolidge con- cedes too much to the demands$ of those opposing the World Court, he will lose the support of the Democrats, it was stated. The American Federation of Labor announced last week that it would keep its skirts clear of political affilia tions. Although the federation in- dorsed the third party, headed by Sen- ator La Follette, in the last campaign, it declared last week that it had re- turned to its former policy of non- partisanship. Harry F. Byrd, Virginia State Sena- tor, won the Democratic nomination for the governorship of the State in primaries held last week and regis- tered a victory over his opponent, G. Walter Mapp. In Virginia the Demo- cratic nomination is virtually the same as election, although the Republicans are expected to place a full ticket in the field. Byrd's victory w ailed by some observers as a “wet” victo, in that Mapp was the anti-saloon can. didate. New York is in for one of the most bitterly contested mayoralty fights in its history, with the Democrats split over the announced intention of Mayor Hylan to seek a third term. The Tam- many Hall condidate was selected last week in the person of State Senator James J. Walker, legislative Demo- cratic leader. Science. A new triumph for radio was scored last week when the Assoc ed Press, from station 9XN of the Zenith Radio Corporation of Chicago, at Arlington Helghts, II., interviewed Lieut. Comdr. Eugene F. McDonald aboard the steamship Peary at Etah, Green land, 3,700 miles away. The Associ ated Press transmitted a list of five Questions, which Comdr. McDon- ald answered. The transmitting was done on a short-wave length. Discovery of a process to temper lead and harden the metal was an. nounced last week by the Westers Electric Company. The experiment was successfully made by R. S. Dean and W. S. Hudson, Chicago metallur- gical engineers. The process has been sought since the ancient days of the Egyptians, and was discovered only after long years of patient experi- mental work. It involves the use of a small percentage of alloy and treat- ment of the metal by a heating process which makes it three times as hard as the usual lead alloy. Mrs. Helen H. Gardener, the only woman ever to hold the position of Civil Service Commissioner, left her brain to Cornell University, according to her will, probated last week. The story s told that Mrs. Gardener once | took {ssue with a physician who claimed there was a fundamental dif- ference in brain structure which ac- counted for differences between men and women. Mrs. Gardener disputed this fact, and left her brain for the use of brain specialists now working to discover the differences, if any, be- tween the brains of male and female human beings. One of the disputes so common after the announcement of a new scientific discovery has followed recent state- ments concerning the isolation of the cancer germ by two British scientists. Last week Dr. Franz Keysser of Ger- many declared that he had made the same discoveries reported by the Brit- ish physicians, and that the latter had based thelir report on these discoveries. The British declared they knew noth- ing of the German sclentist's claim, and had never seen the report he clalms to have made. Economic. The annual coal strike scare, with its accompanying shortage threat, ap- peared on the horizon last week on schedule time. Operators and miners In the anthracite field, after fruitlessly trying to agree on a new contract to replace the one expiring the 31st of this month, broke off their conference in Atlantic City-and submitted their actlon to their constituencies for sup- port. The miners have already threat- ened to call off 158,000 miners in the Pennsylvania fleld unless a new agree- ment is reached, the suspension of work to date from September 1. There is little chance, it is belleved, that the Government will interfere, although the good offices of its agencies will be used to bring about a voluntary re. conciliation.

Henry Ford last week acquired the Stout Metal Airplane Company of De- troit for a consideration placed in the neighborhood of $1,000,000. He will use the factory in the manufacture of airplanes for the Ford air route, now in operation between Cleveland, Detroit and Chicago. Mr. Ford also intends to use the factory as a laboratory for experiment in developing the airplane for commercial use. The first thing that must be done for aerial naviga- tion, said Mr. Ford, is to make it “fool- proof.” Just now it is “90 per cent man and 10 per cent plane," Mr. Ford sald. “This percentage must be turned around.” President Coolidge, it was announced last week from Swampscott, will call his_agricultural conference into ses- sion to map out a program of farm legislation before Congress meets in December. The conference, appointed by the President a year ago, presented a program in the closing days of the last Congress which called chiefly for governmental aid in co-operative m: Rugs and Car- pets Cleaned and Stored.

This debt, how- ever, is independent of the war debt, as it was contracted after the war, and arose from the purchase of sur- plus material. Educational Efforts were renewed in Tennessee last week toward a test in the courts of the antl-evolution law, when Dr. John R. Neal, chief of the Scopes de- fense counsel, filed & petition in Fed- eral Court in the name of a taxpayer which seeks to test the law’s constitu- tionality. The Governor of the State and other officials are named defend- ants. The University of Wisconsin has de- cided not to accept further gifts from incorporated educational endowments or organizations, but the board of re- gents declined to make she ruling retroactlve, thus saving for the uni- versity a recent gift of $12,800 from the general education board ef the Rockefeller Institution.

A party of 60 mothers and children left Washingten Friday for a two- week vacation at the Salvation Army fresh-air camp at Patuxent, Md. The camp, in operation for more than a month, has had three previous groups of mothers and children. A program of play and entertain- ment has been arranged by Capt. Willam H. Barrett, in charge of the camp. Adjt. Ernest R. Holz, acting divisional commander in the absence of Brig. Willlam H. Barrett, visited the camp yesterday and completed arrangements for receiving the group. One family going to the camp has 10 children, including the mother. Special efforts are made to bring undernourished children back to health. Many children are reported to have gained from 10 to 15 pounds during a fortnight at the camp.
