MA&T@_{SBWEN Floyd Johnson Scores a Technical ENGLAND THREATENS TO DROP HER ALLY A, Bonar Law's Letter Is Interpreted As Threat 'To Make I'rench Give In, Knockout in Tenth Round, Over London, Oct. 7. — (By Aassociated Press)—A sensation has been caused by a letter from Andrew Bonar Law, upholding the British government's attitude in the Near Eastern crisis which is given conspicuous publicity in all the London newspapers today. The pronouncément is widely held to be equivalent tc a direct threat to withdraw the British troops from the Rhine and completely terminate the entente unless France comes into line with the British policy in the Near Fast. Bonar Law's position as potential head of a potential conservative gov- crnment in the near future and his intimate relations with several of the present cabinet ministers are regarded as giving his view speclal welght. Indeed it i{s surmised that the cab- inet members, especially Premier I.loyd George and Colonjal Secretary Churchill, had something more than mere previous knowledge of the launching of this utterance at the moment of Foreign Secretary Curzon's mission to Paris. “We are at the straits and Constan- tinople"” says the letter, “but not by out action alone, but by the will of the allied powers which won the war and America is one of those powers. “'We cannot alone act as policemen of the world, Our duty will be to = Heavyweight Champion of A.

Washington, Oct. 7. — Efght big husiness’’ men, all énrolled in the gov- ernment on a ‘‘dollar a year" salary basis, have been in conference with army ordnance officials here this week working out detalis of post war plans for the rmobllization of ordnance manufacturing plants in any future war, The group is composed of the civilian chiefs of eight ordnance dis- tricts into which the country has been divided. Those attending the conference in- cluded B. A. Franklin, chief of the Bridgeport, Conn,, district; Johy Ross Delafleld, chief of the New York dis- trict; C. H. Tenney, chief of the Bos- ton district. The theory of the ordnance depart- ment in creating these civilian chiefs is that all available plants in each dis- trict will be under jurisdiction of the district chief who will keep constant- ly in touch with plant owners and ar- range in agreement with them for the prompt utilization of the plants for | munition making in the event of war. Did you ever wish you had a self-starter for your kitchen range? That’s a sign that you need a new up-to-date range like the STAMFORD.
