“0 Temporal” Dempsey
Cries.
Watch Money? It Knows.
Two Ladies That Killed.
They Ate the Girl.
^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^
You ask what this country is
coming to and whither have van
ished patriotism, pride, ambition
when you learn that there is dif
ficulty in getting the third install
. ment of $100,000 that Mr. Demp
sey must have before he enters the
prize ring at Shelby.
Mr. Dempsey exclaims, “O
Tempora, O Mores, I wish Cicero
were here to write about this job.”
You can’t help sympathizing with
him.
They are not happy in Europe;
don’t trust each other, and with
one or two exceptions, don’t trust
themselves.
Follow their moneys, and you
1inow something is seriously
wrong. British money Friday
went to a point lower than any
this year. The money of solid,
reliable Switzerland did the same;
German money dropped a little
nearer to absolute zero. It’s a good
time Mr. President, not to be
mixed up in the affairs of Europe.
To study human nature, study
murder cases and juries. Two
ladies killed two gentlemen. One,
Mrs. Buzzi, was not married to the
man; somebody else was married
to him. She is quite young, good
looking. The jury convicted her
of murder in the first degree. The
foreman had gone to church and
prayed every day for guidance, an
unusual touch.
■ ■■■■*
Mrs. Lonergan shot her husband,
father of her 14 children. He
had left them, squandered $6,000
belonging to one of the children,
beat his daughter when she asked
him to help the family.
Mrs. Longergan also is still
young, but thin and worn. All of
the jury said "you arj innocent,”
and everybody in the courtroom
cheered. The jury system is not
a bad system. i
The next question is about Mrs.
Buzzi. She killed a man, presum
ably in a fit of jealousy. Will the
state of New York, which hasn’t
the excuse of jealousy, imitate
Mrs. Buzzi and kill Mrs. Buzzi, by
electricity, thus putting itself in
her class—morally.
A traveler from the Fiji islands
describes the cannibalism of two
young savages. They quarreled
about a girl, found they had both
spent money on her. Instead of
fighting each other, which they
thought foolish, they decided to
eat the girl. They actually did kill
and eat her. The police found her
head, and they are now in jail.
“Horrible, unthinkable, unbe
lievable in this age of the world,”
you say. Horrible, yes; unthink
able, no. Here is our own sweet
civilization you read of bootleg
gers holding up a living child to
stop the bullets of their pursuers.
That’s as bad as the cannibals.
And those cannibals have an ex
cuse—their ancestors did it.
New York City will have 20,
000,000 people in 1960. Statis
tics prove it. What will then be the
limit of real estate values? What
will solve traffic congestion?
How many millions will Chicago,
Detroit and other cities have in
40 years?
How long before cities will in
stall as part of their regular street
equipment, great exhaust fans to
collect and carry away deadly
gases from automobiles?
That last question is suggested
by Dr. M. Charles Gottschalt, a
wise person.
“Be careful how you gamble in
little steel companies, trying to
fight the big company. Whenever
it likes, the big company can sell
steel at a good profit for less than
it costs little companies to manu
facture It.”
That, printed here several years
ago, has been repeated several
times since. Look at some of the
“little steel companies’’ if you
gamble in steel stocks, and you will
find that the advice wasn’t bad.
“New lows’’ describes them.
You have read a great many
terrible things about Russians and
the terrible things they do. You
read, surely, about the tortur'ng in
prison of Tikhon, high priest of
all the Russian churches. Tikhon
is at large, denouncing the bolshe
viki, also saying that the stories
about his being tortured are lies.
Many lies come from Russia.
The struggle for fighting supre
macy in the air continues between
France and England. At the last
minute Friday the French chamber
decided to spend $200,000,000
more on fighting air machines.
They politely say it's "due to fenr
of Germany.’’ But the English
know better.
Another war is coming and
France or England must come out
on top—unless common sense saves
them.

American Army
Faces Cut Below
KMLOOOinYear
Present Rate of Enlistments
Far Below Discharges; Persh
ing and Weeks Alarmed
at Prospect.
By Universal Service.
Washington, July 1.—The United
States army faces a reduction in en
listed strength below 100,000 within
the coming year for the first time
since the War department entered up
on a comprehensive plan for training
civilian reserves for the national de
fense.
This is the estimate of army officers
closely in touch with the recruiting
problem created by congress in In
serting into the appropriation act for
the fiscal year 1923-24 legislation,
which, In the opinion of Secretary of
War Weeks, "will make it impossi
ble to keep the army at authorized
strength."
Secretary Weeks and General Persh
ing are alarmed at the prospect. Both
the enlisted and-.commissioned person
nel, they feel, have already been re
duced far below the "safety point.”
Losses during the next seven or
eight months, it is feared, will result
in conditions closely approaching de
moralization.
The authorized enlisted strength of
the regular army under the national
defense of 1920 la 290.000 men. Army
officers and civilian experts maintain
that this authorized force is neces
sary to perform the duties of the
regulars and at the same time train
the civilian reserves in the National
guard and organized reserves.
Faced with the necessity for strict
economy in government expenditures,
experts finally agreed to an enlisted
force of 175,000 as "absolute mini
mum” necessary for the national de
fense, Congress appropriated on the
nominal basis of an army of 125.000.
At the same time, funds were so re
stricted that an actual strength of
only 115,000 was found possible.
Owing to recruiting difficulties re
sulting principally from Insufficient
funds, the strength of the army today
is about 113.000. Recruits are being
obtained at the rate of approximately
1.000 monthly.
Two factors combine to threaten a
radical reduction in the strength dur
ing the next year. Three years ago,
the War department was engage^ in
an intensive recruiting campaign. No
effort was spared and. at one time,
enlistment figures reached the record
point of 1,000 a day. A larger number
of these enlistments were for the
three-year period, and accordingly,
will expire during the next year.
During the year which begins Sun
day, it Is estimated, the army will
lose about 75,000 men from expira
tion of the term of service, discharge
for physical disability and other
causes. Were there no enlistments
whatever, the strength would be re
duced from 113,000 to approximately
38.000 by June 30, next.
Current enlistments in the army are
divided almost equally between re
enlistments, enlistments of men over
21, and enlistments of men under 21,
with the last group slightly the larger
of the three. Of the men under 21.
about 80 per cent are accepted for
enlistment away from home.

Modesty Key of French Fashions
J J
Paris Dressmakers Creating Two Styles, One for
Home and One for Americans—Presidential Gar
den Party Resembles Second Empire Festival.
By I'nitprul Service.
Paris. July 1 —The fact that Paris
dressmakers are creating two distinct
fashions—one for Americans and one
for the French—was startlingly dem
onstrated by two of the biggest
French affairs of the season.
The first was the Hussian ballet
fcten at the Versailles Chateau Sat
urday night: the second was the gar
den party given by President and
Mrs. Millerand in the beautiful
grounds of the F.lysee palace this if
ternoon.
Briefly put. the fashions, as worn
by the real French people seen at
the palace this afternoon, show mod
esty above all. while the Americans
are still wearing the clinging, sen
suous, form-revealing gowns which
have been the prevailing note since
the war.
Tho presidential garden party
looked like a second empire festival.
The brillance of uniforms added to
the beauty of the seml-crlnollne
frocks of green, yellow? and white,
which the Americans flatly refuse to
wear.
At Versailles the American women
were most conspicuous. They wore
deeply riecollette gowns of sheer,
clinging white or cloth of silver and
were heavily jeweled, whereas the
French women, patronizing the Iden
lira I dressmakers. were clothed in
wide stiff organdy and chiffon gowns
cut with high corsage.
The French women, also, are wear
ing the waistline high, while the
American* wear it low. giving full
play to their characteristic supple
ness.
As a result of this situation the
only really dating dresses worn In
the fashionable haunts of Paris are
seen on the American women, re
versing the rule for which Paris has
been famous for decades.

Illinois Central System Shows How Shippers
Can Improve Transportatiom Service
Ordinarily this is a slack period of the year for transportation. However,
that is not true of this year. The railroads are doing the heaviest business
that they have ever done in their history at this period of the year. In the week
ended June 9, the loading of 1,013,24 9 cars came within less than one-half
of 1 per cent of the record week’s loading in the history of the railroads of the
United States, which was in the week ended October 14, 1920, when the total
number of cars loaded was 1,018.539. Notwithstanding the heavy business
which the railroads are doing at the present time, there is no car shortage.
The heavy traffic is being moved with more ease and greater efficiency than
ever before.
The indications are that the railroads will be called upon to handle a much
heavier traffic this fall than they are handling now. Shippers have it within
their power to help themselves and the public generally, as well as the rail
roads, by anticipating their needs and placing their orders for transportation at
a time wrhen the railroads are in a position to serve them best. In a few weeks
the farmers will be needing cars to transport this year’s crops. When farm
crops are moving to market in the fall, the other traffic of the railroads, in
cluding the carrying of coal, is also at its height. We realise that rome of
the other traffic must move during the fall, but we believe there is much of
it that can be transported during the summer, when railway equipment and
facilities are idle because the demand for transportation does not equal the
capacity of the railroads.
Coal is one of the principal factors in making traffic seasonal. The Illinois
Central System is now engaged in storing coal at central points throughout
its territory to release equipment for the use of its patrons later on, when the
rush of traffic sets in. We hope to have at least a million tons of coal in
storage by September 1. Our patrons, familiar with the price of eoal. can
make their own calculations as to the large amount of money involved in stor
ing this million tons—a storage now being made for the sole purpose of releas
ing cars for our patrons’ use when the traffic begins this fall. By laying in
their coal supplies now, v ,ien there is plenty of transportation, coal consumers
will avoid future inconvenience and at the same time materially help to im
prove transportation conditions. Moreover, if the demand for eoal exceeds
the supply that can be transported in the fall months, the effect in all prob
ability will be to increase the price of coal.
The Illinois Central System is buying large quantities of other materials
required in the operation of the railroad and is storing them, so that the move
ment of this traffic will also be out of the way this fall. We believe that all
those who have commodities to he shipped, either in closed cars or in open
top cars, should seriously consider the advantages to he gained by shipping
such commodities at once, even if they have to be stored, rather than to wait,
until fall.
Stone, sand, gravel and cement dealers and those having to do with the
construction of hard roads are to he commended for the successful efforts
they have made, and are making, to have rOad-building material moved while
transportation is plentiful. The example so well set them should he emu
lated, as far as possible, by all shippers.
This statement is prompted by a desire on our part to see the best possible
service rendered those who are depending upon the Illinois Central System for
their transportation. We have in mind particularly the farmers who will
need transportation this fall, hut we believe that an increased movement of
traffic immediately will I e in the interest of all classes of our patrons.
Constructive criticism und suggestions are invited.
C. H. MARKHAM,
President, Illinois Central System.

Continue Plans
to Seize Liquor
Washington Authorities Feel
Next Move in Ship Rum
Squabble Likely to
Bring “Showdown.”
By rnlvcn.nl Service.
Washington, July 1.—Prohibition
authorities went forward today In
their determination to rigorously en
force the ship liquor ban, fully pre
pared for the next move, which may
bring a “showdown" on the question
of ship seizures or pave the way to
an amicable solution of the problem.
The two most important develop
ments awaited here are:
1. Great Britain's reply to Secre
tary of State Hughes’ proposal of an
Hntirum running treaty in return
for a concession allowing foreign
ships to bring in liquor under seal.
2. Arrival at an American port of
a foreign liquor-carrying vessel
which had reasonable notice of this
government's attitude towards the
bringing in of beverage intoxicants,
even under customs seals, or the re
turn of one of the liners from which
liquor under seal already has been
l jfften.
Hope for Counter Proposal.
i Marquis Curzon, the British foreign
secretary, has made it plain in a
speech in parliament that the “give
and take” treaty offer will be re
jected. It Is hoped by American offi
cials, however, that the Ixcndon gov
ernment will come forward with a
counter-proposition rather than a flat
refusal to accept the pact Idea.
There was a suggestion in official
circles that a general conference to
work out the International difficulties
growing out of the prohibition ques
tion may be possible.
If Oreat Britain makes a counter
proposition It will be given due con
sideration, as a matter of course.
This government is eager to find
some acceptable plan whereby the
two vexing rum birds may be killed
with one diplomatic stone—rum run
ning broken up and the embarrass
ment over the necessity of seizure of
nonmedical ship liquor stores and
the next step of seizure of ships and
arresting the captains relieved.
May Search XesseN.
But should the British merely reply
that they could not consent to the
suggested extension of the limit for
search and seizure of rum runners
to 12 miles, this government may de
termine to make search and seizures
up to that limit without <"Ireat Bri
tain's acquiescence. Administration
spokesmen, commenting on Ixird Cur
zon's speech, declared they believed
the government already has this
power and plainly intimated that it
SI V lie exercised In spite cf British
objection, ,f no olher solution is of
fered.
This at tion doubtless would bring
forth a vigorous protest from I-ondon.
The responsibility, however, would be
upon the British, according to Amerl
can officials. Hum running lias got
to be broken up, they say, and Great
Urtlam apparently intends not to give
any aid.

ciation of practically everyone who
had anything to do with the Herrin
mine riots of last June in which 22
men were killed, is the theme of a j
report filed by the commission of the |
house of representatives which has
been investigating the killings.
With one dissenting voice, that of
Representative Thomas Curran of
Chicago, the commission agreed that
state military officials might have
prevented the disaster had they acted
promptly and effeciently.
Among those blamed by the com
mittee for the tragedy are Adj. Gen.
Carlos E. Black, his assistant Samuel
N\ Hunter, who represented General
Black at Herrin; W. J. Lester, owner
of the strip mine where the rioting
occurred; officials of the miners
union: Sheriff Melvin Thaxton and
his deputies; the mine guards; the
citizens of Herrin and the Illinois
senate for refusing to continue the
life of the committee.
The committee, of which Represen
tative Frank A. McCarthy of Elgin
was chairman, deplored their inabil
ity to obtain the testimony of Deputy
Sheriff Laymen, Police Officer Jake
Jones and Police Magistrate Rix of
Herrin, who they charged left the I
state in order to evade subpoena i
servers. The citizens of Herrin, the
report charges, gave the commission
absolutely no assistance in attempt
ing to fix the guilt for the murders,
that on the contrary, "the spirit of
the majority of the citizens of Wil
liamson county is in sympathy with
the actions of the mob."
State's Attorney Delos Duty alone
of all the officials mentioned in the
