CHICAGO, -August 26.—Wrong food, rather than strong drink and inherited criminal tendencies, today was named as one of the chief causes for the down- going wrong in a report issued by Com- missioner John McMillian, in command of the central territory of the Salvation Army. After a survey of 106 industrial homes and 34 rescue homes and hospi- tals of the army, Commissioner Mc- Millian found that girls who go wrong more often would have gone right had some one taught them vitamin and mineral values. . More than 60 per cent of the unwed mothers and fallen girls cared for last year by the army, the report said, were victims of malnutrition during chiid-! hood. while 53 per cent of all men given aid by the army also were victims of malnutrition in youth. “Responsibility for this condition rests directly upon the parents of these un- fortunates, who either permitted their children to dictate their own eating habits, or were unable to provide, or were ignorant of the essentials of a balanced diet,” Commissioner McMillan TRAL OF T6HELD N SLAING PEN Strikers and Textile Union Officials Face Charges in Charlotte Court. | \ By the Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N. C.

A special venire of 200 was ordered drawn for Jury duty. The defendants are accused of mur- der and conspiracy to murder in con- nection with the death on June 8 of O. i | F.

Aderholt was wounded on, the night of June 7 when he and four other. policemen went to a tent colony main- tained by the union and the Intern: tional Workers' Relief for Strikers from the Loray Cotton Mill. Thirteen of the defendants, who have been held without ball on charges of first-degree murder, were -brought hére this morning from Gastonia. Three. women accused of second-degree mur- der have been free on bond. ‘The cases first were called in Gaston Superior Court on July 29. A change of venue was granted by Judge M. V. Barnhiil of Rocky Mount, presiding. Judge Barnhill today promptly over- ruled defense motions for quashing the indictment. striking out certain words in the indictment and a demurrer ask- ing that the bill of particulars ordered at the Gastonia hearing be made more specific. The latter motion eaused some de- lay when Arthur Garfleld Hayes, chief counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union, who joined the defense counsel Saturday, insisted on arguing it. He charged that the State had made a “dragnet of vague charges” which were not specific in time and place.

FIGURED AT 75 PER CENT OF BRITAIN’S DEMANDS Plan Tendered by Four Creditor Nations Regarded in France as Last Concession, By the Ascociated Press. ' THE HAGUE, August 26.—Philip Snowden, British chancellor of the exchequer, informed the other four creditor powers today that their new proposals did not satisfy the British claims and in their present form were unacceptable, ‘The experts of the four powers estl- mated that the offer represented 75 per cent of the amount which Mr. Snowden has been demanding, although in British quarters there was some doubt as to whether it represented that high a pro- portion. In French circles it was made known that the offer was regarded as the last concession toward - the British stand that the four powers would make. Delivered in Writing. The new proposal, which was de- liveted late last night in writing, was assumed here to have been found worthy of clcse examination by the Britlsh chancellor at least and this has given rise to renewed hopes among the die-hard optimists at the reparations confeérence. g The fast is that he has not rejected the offer as yet, but a talk with M. Adachi of Japan, representing the four powers, concerning it was felt to indi- cate that he was willing to take it as the basis of discussion. The activities of the conference have been transferred almost entirely to nearby Scheveningen, where there was | & good deal of- coming and going among | the other delegations, while Chaneellor Snowden at his home was consis the decision on which the fate of the confercnce, in general opinion, appears to rest. Not every ane, however, was agreed that Chancellor Snowden's reflection on the four-power offer would mean its nce. In t) gearters 1 was thought that the chancellor was bound not to reject it summarily because he | ouldn’t take the resj ibility of such | step without careful thought as to the consequences. Meeting Postponed. A meeting of the four powers in-| terested in evaucuation of the Rhine- | land, which was to have been held to- day, was postponed subject to call. All| other activities of the conference were | also put off until Chancellor Snow- | den’s decision is made known. The correspondent of? the Havas Agency, principal French news agency, at the Hague, estimated that the offer of the four other creditor powers to' England amounted to 28,00.000 gold marks annually (approximately $6,720,- 000), as a supplement to what the ‘Young plan already awards her. Of this sum France would furnish 12,000,000 marks Belgium 2,000,000 and Italy 14.000,000. is was based on the written pro- posals furnished to Chancellor Snow- den by Premier Jaspar of Belgium in reply to the British rejection of the verbal proposals on Saturday. * M. Jadpar's letter stated that the four creditors had in no way Germany to increase her payments, as Mr. Snowden had implied. It emphasized the important eeonomic advantages of the Young plan for !"f,: land as to the German deliveries kind, of which England desires a speedy cessation. * ° MRS.
