FARM MANAGERS
BEING TRAINED
Disabled Soldiers, Educated
For Direction of Farms,
Sure of Jobs
Washington, March 6.—A latgc
percentage of men in the United
States armies coming from farms
or semi-rural environent have raised
an interesting question in ho , r ®"
training of disabled en by the ied
erela board for vocational educa
tion, as to how the background
of agricultural information of these
individuals can best be utilized.
The general impression is that
when a man has lost his strength his
usefulness on a farm is at an end.
The federal board does not at all
subscribe to this and the course
which has been evolved on "farm
management" is proving one of the
most popular with those men who
Nave taken retraining.
The small percentage of profits 01
inefficient management, of idle and
incompetent management, makes
thousands of farmers not living on
their places very desirous to secure
farm managers capable of inducing
farm management, and to meet this
growing need the course in farm
management for disabled soldiers
has been evolved b> the federal
board for vocational education, and
indications are that the demand for
these well trained men will con
siderably exceed the supply. Dis
abled men taking training are al
lowed a support fund of $65 per
month minimum, all expenses are
paid and places found for the grad
uates. This training is mainly giv
en in the land grant colleges of the
various states.

Dying Wife, Poison
Victim, Begs For
Absent Husband
Philadelphia, March 6. Fully
conscious and free from pain, Mrs.
Sumner C. Evans, who lies dying
at the Hahnemann Hospital after an
attempt at suicide, begged physicians
today to bring her husband to her.
With the knowledge that only a
miracle can avert death, the young
wife, who swallowed poison when
her husband left her, wants more
than all else to speak to her hus
band before she succumbs.
"I loved him," she said this morn
ing. "I did not want to live after
he left me. All I want now is to
see him-once more before I die."
Upon receiving his discharge from
the army he began working in the
oil fields near Burkette, Texas.
To Test Civil Service
Status of Fire Chiefs
Philadelphia, March 6.—Judge
Eugene C. Bonniwell, president of
the Firemen's Association, an
nounces that the executive committee
of the Civil Service Reform Associa
tion of Pennsylvania has accepted a
request of the firemen's organization
to unite in bringing proceedings to
test the civil service status of fire
chiefs in second and third class cit
ies.
"The withdrawal on February 23
of the apeal pending before the Su
preme Court of Pennsylvania," said
the announcement, "from the deci
sion of Judge Berger, of the Schuyl
kill county court, to the effect that
fire chiefs did not come under the
new civil Service law for cities of the
third lass, as well as of the second
class, has created a situation of dis-
I appointment among the firemen of
the state."
Hid Four Years to
Escape the Germans
1 Paris, March 6.—The adventures
;of two French stragglers. Sergeant
I Lesquern and Private Levesque, who
becoming separated from their
units after the battle of Charleroi,
remained in hiding for more than
four years in German occupied ter
ritory are told in the newspaper La
Victoire. In the early days of the
war, civilians helped the two sol
diers but as the German domina
tion became weightier, they took to
the woods.
They owe their lives to an old
Belgian poacher and smuggler who,
throughout all the years of their
adventures, helped them with pro
visions. They are now in a French
hospital recovering from the effects
of their privations.
MEXICAN CABINET CHANGES
Mexico City, March 6.—Manuel
Rodriguez Gutierrez, Under Secre
tary of Communications in Presi
dent Carranza's cabinet, has been
named secretary of that department:
Leon Salinas has been appointed
Under Secretary of Commerce and
! Industry: and General Alfredo Bre
ceda has resumed his former post
as Governor of the Federal District,
succeeding General Arnulfo Gon
zalez. resigned. ,
CRIME SPREADS
OVER ENGLAND
Result of Idle Hands Since
the Signing of the
Armistice
London, Match 6.—Crime has
been on the increase In England
since the signing of the armistice
and, in official quarters, particularly
Scotland Yard, is it attributed to a
great extent to soldiers on leave. It
is the natural result of idle hands,
the 'Officials say.
Attendants at centers where leave
men congregate seem to be of one
opinion as to why soldiers now
commit petty crimes. They say the
bearing of the soldiers has changed
since the hostilities ended. When
they obtained a brief respite from
the fighting they still felt that they
were engaged, still had something to
do and something to think about.
People who are at Young Men's
Christian Association and Red Cross
centers say that now there is no in
terest for the soldiers at the front
and little they can do in the cities,
as few have much money. They
o<re idle mentally and physically.
There has been a tendency to
blame overseas men for much of the
crime, not Americans as compara-
tively few of them are on leave in
England, but a Scotland Yard offi
cial has stated that the English
troops are as much responsible as
their colonial brothers.

American Tonnage
Menace to British
Coal Export Trade
London, March 6.—American ton
nage is described as undoubtedly a
distinct menace to British coal ex
port trade in a statement made by
Alexander Lee, chief of the coal
prices department of the board of
trade, before the coal commission
investigating this subject At pres
ent England is just beginning to
feel the effects of American com
petition, he said, because until Jan
uary it had been agreed that Amer
ican coal should not be transported
to Europe.
American competition, added Mr.
Lee, was feared in the Mediter
ranean particularly, and the British
would have to consider altering the
export regulations to meet the sit
uation. The Americans were al
ready underselling the British In
South America.
Mrs. Fairbanks Gets
Final Divorce Decree
Wliitc Plains, N. Y., March 6. —A
final decree of divorce in favor of
Mrs. Douglas Fairbanks, wife of the
motion picture actor, was signed yes
terday by State Supreme Court Jus
tice Young. The papers mentioned
a co-respondent as an unknown wo
man. Under the terms of the decree
the custody of a child, Douglas Fair
banks, Jr., is given to the mother
with the provision that the father
shall be allowed to see him at fre
quent intervals.
SENIORITY TO
RULE IN HOUSE
Republican Leaders Will Fol
low Plan in Naming
Committees
Washington, March 6.—Republi
can organization of the next House of
Representatives is being pushed forward
by party leaders, composing the com
mittee on committees, with practically
a final decision that seniority of mem
bership would continue to determine
committee ranks. This action, taken
in respect to the eleven principal com
mltees, applied to chairmanships, as
well as to other leading places.
Before undertaking to consider the
question of ,membership rank, the Re
publicans decided on the apportionment
of places on the committees between
the two parties. Because of their mar
gin of control of the next House, the
committee decided to increase the ma
jority appointment by one member with
a similar reduction of Democratis or
minority membership.
The principal committee, having
twenty-one members, would under the
plan adopted, be divided between thir
teen Republicans and eight Democrats,
while practically the same ratio would
obtain with the committee of smaller
membership. A decision to make pos
sible use of the committee on depart
mental expenditures for proposed in
vestigation of war expenditures and
, other inquiries of department activities
led to the membership apportionment
of this committee being agreed on as
Ave Republican is and two Democrats, in
stead of the ftror to three ratio that
obtained in the lase House.

SERBIANS KILLED !
ON LEMON HILL
Bodies Left Exposed to Dogs
and Wolves by the
Bulgars
Nish, Serbia, March 6—Cumulative
evidence has been given the cor
respondent of The Associated Press
by many Serbian mayors or pre
fects, of a studied attempt by Bul
garians during their occupation of
Serbia, to exterminate part of the
civilian population.
In the town of Bela Planca the
number who fell victims to Bulgar
massacres is placed by the Chief of
Police at three hundred. At the in
vitation of this official, the corres
pondent visited the scene where
many of these murders were car
ried out. He saw heaps of human
bones, skulls and fragments of cloth
ing. No effort apparently had been
made by Bulgars to give their vic
tims burial and their bodies were
left exposed to dogs and wolves.
Among the Serbians killed here
was a seventy-year-old monk.
The Bulgars posted a special
guard about this place of slaughter
which is situated high up on Lemon
hill, and forbade any Serbian going
near it under penalty of death.
Why Coal Price!
Cannot Drop I
The retail price of coal is
up of three elements
mine, transportation and
margins. ,
The cost of coal at the
today, it is stated, is close to
per cent, higher than before
war. The transportation cost
about 55 per cent, higher. H
The advance in mining cosH
was necessary to take care of
higher wage scale and advanceH
cost of materials and supplies. If
Miners' wages will not
lowered by the operation —H
coal prices cannot
c^nge.
