Special Dispatch to ‘The Star. COLLEGE PARK, August 6.— Health, education and character, are aims of the 4H Clubs, president R. A. Pearson of the University of Mary- land, vesterday told the 500 boys and girls attending club week here. “Education means a good deal more than merely accumulating a lot of facts,” said Dr. Pearson. “Education s knowledge together with an under- standing, which enables you to use it. What we acquire from education may be divided into two groups, one consisting of knowledge which we can Qse every day and the other of knowl- edge which \\'i\lfal;iffl to opr pleasure njoyment of life.” ¥ e oxteon placed the English lan- guage first in the list of educauo'nal essentials. Others he enumerated were arithmetic, chemistry, zoology, botany and physics. An -understanding of these subjects, he declared, will not only prove useful but will add greatly to the pleasure and enjoyment of farm life.

Another protest comes from a party of veterans of the Paris commune of 1871, who served nine years' imprison- ment in New Caledonia and who de- clare that they were the victims of in- Jjustices similar to those now over- taking Sacco and Vanzetti. The Red Pioneers, members of an organization paiterned after the Boy couts, demand the release of their lder brothers.” Nearly every newspaper today de- voted much space to editorials and cartoons on the subject, the latter gen- erally depicting the condemned men being crucified by the lust and ven- geance of the moneyed interests. “LAST APPEAL” IN BERLIN.

Chicago Building Trades Leaders Re- Ject Plea for Protest. CHICAGO, August 8 (#).—Leaders of the Chicago building trades have turned deaf ears to appeals of the International Labor Defense League for a suspension of work as a protest against the scheduled execution of Sacco and Vanzetti. Building trades officials met last night to consider certain communica- tions received in behalf of the con- demned men, but when there was no response for a discussion, the com- munications were tabled until the next meeting in two weeks and no action was taken. The execution of Sacco and Vanzettl is set for mext week. VANZETTI'S SISTER HAS HOPE. French Labor, Socialists and Com- munists Plan Demonstration. August 6 (®).—Luigia Van- r of Bartolomeo Vanzetti, who s in Paris secking permission to roceed to the United States to sce her brother, has hope that he will be spared, She is quoted by the news- paper L'Oeuvre as sayin “Since I have been in France I have found so much sympathy that I now have hope my brother and his com- rade Sacco will not bs executed. Thank all those who have helped us and beg them to continue their efforts.” Labor, soclalist circles are going ahcad with their plans for a demonstration in Paris Sunday in behalf of the condemned men. t will be one of the biggest ever scen in the French capital if the police authorities do not decide to ban it. It will end in a parade from the meeting center in the Place Du- throns to the Bols Vincennes. Pleas to Be Made to Embassy.

The decree was ranted, and the countess received custody of her son, although the father was given the right to visit him and have a voice in his education. BRITISH SHOWDOW WITH SOVIET URGED AS INTRIGUE GROWS (Continued from First Page) The British authorities are worried because it appears ige of the administration has diminished. “Arms Act” Ignored. Nobody seems to pay any attention to the “arms act” which although now in effect is not obeyed. Thousands of Hindus parade the streets with drawn swords under the noses of the police commissioners. As soon as they are arrested others take their places. The law is defied by Hindus and Mussel- mans alike. The situation on the Northwestern frontier is grave. Tribes from Afghanistan, supported by natives, have attacked border posts and the commander-in<hief last month ordered 2 36-hour bombing attack as a re- prisal. The frontiers have been closed by order of the viceroy. The Soviets are inciting the Emir of Afghanistan not to permit such violations of international law and are providing him with money and experts to establish six aerodromes on the frontier, where airplanes and pilots are arriving from Moscow. The British see trouble coming and the war office is contemplating an en- tire reorganization of the eastern forces, making: the Indian military base similar to the naval base at ngapore. A large mobile force will be kept in India, while defenses of the frontiers will be reorganized by introduction of a number of tanks and airplanes. Secretary Plans Survey. Tt is stated in well informed circles that the famous missing document which caused the recent Arcos raid contained details of the military re- organization in India. The secretary of war, although theoretically he has no control over the Indian Army, has decided to go to Indla the middle of September to ex- amine the situation on the spot. The departure of the royal commission, which should have gone to India this month to study the effect of the com- munial administration, has been post- poned until the return of the war sec- retary. “At present,” said the writer's in- formant, “the situation in India is ominous. We do not know when re- ligious fanaticism, cleverly exploited by Nationalists and Soviet agents, might turn against the British admin- stration in the same way that Chinese civil war turned against us.” 10 YEARS T0O LONG T0 SERVE, COOLIDGE QUOTED AS SAYING (Continued from First Page.) would accede to the popular demand that he become the party’s candidate. Mr. Sargent, who is a cousin of Attorne seneral Sargent, neighbor and intimate of the President, said afterward ' that the “lingering hope” that Mr. Coolidge will be nominated and elected despite his present inten- tions, is fortunately serving as a stabilizing _influence throughout the country. If it were not for this prev- alence of hope, he believes there would be a depression felt in business and industry through the resulting un- certainty over the future. This Tailroad chief said that the President showed that he did not care to discuss the subject, and that his brief response was not of a nature to inspire any hope that he could be persuaded to change his mind. Mr. Sargent said the President ap- peared to be far more interested in what he and his associate had to say ibout crops and business conditions. They told the President that busine: good, generally speaking, | t the crops in the Dakotas and Ne braska are better today than they have been at any time since the war. PITTSBURGH ON ALERT.

Reilly, medical offi- cer of the T1st Regiment. “We then reentered the subway and searched through the washroom and the ticket booth for other persons who might be there. It was pitch dark and we had to grope our way over piles of loose tile and rocks and plaster which tovered the platforth. t the north end of the station we found two cigar boxes wrapped in newspapers, and we thought it might be another bomb. An unknown fire- man grabbed the box and took it out of the station. He certainly deserve: credit for the chance he took. “While we were searching the sta- tion, a_train pulled in and we assist- cd hysterical passengers to the street. The telephone hooth at the north end of the station had been ripped from the force of the explosion ghing machine had been torn apart. We came up from the subway after going thoroughly over both platforms and the tracks.” Police Assign No Motive. Police declined to assign any mo- tive for the bombings, and Thomas P. Brophy, chief fire marshal, in charge of the fire department's investigation, would merely the blasts “probably were caused by infernal machines.” A. R. Merritt, superintendent of transportation of the Interborough Co., however, said he was confident the explosions were set off in sym- pathy for Sacco and Vanzetti. The explosion at the Broadway and Twenty-eighth street station of the B. M. T. caused the greatest damage. The bhomb, discharged in the men's lavatory on the south side of the sta- tion, blasted away the 15-inch concrete and tile wall of the room, demolished the turnstiles and change booth and threw debris across the four tracks. The bomb at the Interborough sta- tion at Fourth avenue and Twenty- eighth street appeared to have been placed at a point near the high power cable compartment along the south side of the northbound platform. Passengers Flee to Street. Police believe the bombs exploded prematurely, having been planned to go oft while trains were in the sta- tions. A moment after the blast in the Broadway station a southbound Jocal train pulled in. The motorman stopped the train, however, when he ran into the cloud of choking dust and smoke and trainmen sought to calm the frightened passengers. Motormen of two other approaching trains also stopped when they saw the cloud of smoke and dust. The explosion was so violent that it was felt at the Thirty-fourth street station, the flist station north of the scene of the blast. A moment after the roar was heard, clouds of heavy smoke rolled through the tunnel and passengers waiting at Thirty-fourth street fled to the street. Windows in buildings on, both sides of Broadway were shattered for a dis- tance of two blocks and a varied as- sortment of clothing, dummies, shoes and lingerie from store windows was strewn about the streets. Hotel Bres- lin, at Twenty-ninth street, was rocked and guests in their rooms were frightened, while scores of pedes- trians scurried from sidewalks into doorways and hallways to escape the falling glas: Firemen estimated that five tons of debris were strewn about the station and tracks. They searched the wreck- age in an effort to find something that would indicate the nature of the bomb and - uncovered a number of small pieces of metal that were given to the police for examination. An inspector of the Bureau of Combustibles ex- pressed the belief that nitro-glycerine and dynamite might have been com- bined for greater explosive effect. Police said they had not witnessed such wreckage since the Wall Street explosion of 1920, when a bomb in front of J. . Morgan's offices killed 33 persons and injured 400. 50 Burglar Alarms Turned In. Immediately after the explosion police established lines and shut-off trafiic along Broadw Policemen were stationed at stores to prevent thieving and a special guard was established at the Corn xchange Bank, at Broadway and Twenty-eighth street, where several windows were blown in. Near the spot where police were told two men entered an automobile and drove hurriedly away, a straw hat was found. It was kept for examination for possible fingerprints. Broken windows®caused 50 burglar alirms_to be turned in and the responding special protective squads added to the confusion on Broadway. Three hours after the blasts the cks had been virtually cl ed and re ready for the morning traffic rush. STORE IS WRECKED. Scetion of Rochester, N. Y., Rocked by Bomb; Motive Is Mystery.

Lieut. Gomborrow said he did not believe the bombing of Emmanuel Church was due to any preaching of Dr. Bozman or any vengeance against this particular church building, but was an act against the church itself. ALL BOSTON POLICE CALLED. In an Force to Stay at Stations—Extra Guards Placed. BOSTON, Mass., August 6 (P).— Supt. Crowley of the Boston Police De- partment today revoked all leaves of absence or time off for the entire po- lice force until further notice. Mem- bers of the force will be required to stay at.the police stations, instead of going home during their rest periods. The police stations are being fitted with cots. The order affects traffic officers as well as patrolmen. Supt. Crowley said that the force of 1,600 police was insufficient to guard all public buildings. He asked owners of all buildings to which the public has easy access to maintain a close watch over them. Iis action followed a conference with Police Commissioner Herbert Wilson after the receipt of news of bombings in New York and elsewhere. Extra guards were vigilantly pacing the platforms of the principal subway and elevated stations of the Boston Elevated Co.’s lines in the metropoli- tan district today following news of bomb outrages in two New York City subways. Special forces were rushed on duty shortly after midnight, when details of the New York explosions first be- came known. The track-walking detail also was augmented. It was represented that svhile the company felt no apprehension that an attempt would be made at terrorism here, it would seek to protect itself and its riders against all possibilities. As the early morning crowds filled the downtown stations special detec- tives and other guards scrutinized in- dividuals carefully and paid particular attention to those using the less fr quented entrances and exits, as well as to passengers who sauntered to the deserted ends of long subway plat- forms. Storerooms were locked, and in most cases even the washrooms. VETERAN HURT BY BLAST. Chicago Bootleggers Blamed for Bomb- ing of Shop. CHICAGO, I, August 68 (#).— A bomb explosion in a soft drink par- lor early today injured Miles Kazda, 28, a crippled war veteran, whose left lez was amputated during the war, ard may result in the amputation of his right leg, badly lacerated by wreckage from the explosion. The explosion was attributed by the police to liquor rivals who were 2 sered at Robert Yanke, owner of tke place, because he patronized other dealers. Yanke and Kazda were the only occupants of the place when the bomb exploded in the doorway and wrecked the establishment. Kazda's artificial left leg also was damaged. PLOT SUSPECTED IN WEST.
