termining Policy.
GUARD IS NOT MENTIONED
I Howell home: the two tell-tale car
tridges which John Leuthold panned
I from the roadway; the mushroomed
'bullet found in he head, and one fired J
,into the sand by Coroner Fred Wilson
to determine what effect the compact
would have. The experimental bullet
did not flatten as much as the other.
Samuel Whetstone said he had worked
at gunsmithins for many years and
claimed to be expert in determining de
tails about riflinc. cartridges, the ef-
Rakpr flffprt filiirianfiP in Dp- fect of rifling upon a bullet and of
DdKEr Ulieib UUIUdllUC III UC ihammera and varieties of cartridees
usPd in various guns.
The witness Whetstone said the Stev
ens rifle, exhibit A, had been rebored
and one of the riflinRS was noticeably
deeper than the other. Such a condi
tion he said, would show upon a bullet
that had passed through the barrel and
he showed marks upon each bullet
which he said were made by this deep
rifle tract. He also said the gun had
rusty spots and these also affected the
bullet. The witness declared he has
examined the mushroomed pieces of
lead with a misroscope.
Moves for DlMtniMnal Denied.
Attorney McKnifrht moved for a dis
missal before the noon recess, and prior
to the testimony of Whetstone. Judge
Wade denied the motion and ordered
the hearing to proceed at once. After
Whetstone had civen his evidence. Mc-
Knight again asked for a dismissal and
was again denied. He then gave notice
the defense would not call any wit
nesses and closed his case.
The status of Harold Howell caused
some questions relative to the future
trial, should he be indicted by the grand
Jury. Being so young, many could not
understand how he could be taken from
the juvenile court.
Judge Wade told The Oregonian after
the trial that the case would be tried in
the Coos county circuit court In the
event of an indictment.
After the preliminary trial one of the
officials who was active in the inves
tigation at Bandon said they had dis
covered in their various questionings
that the Howell boy does not bear a
first-class reputation and is considered
"tough."

Ihrcp Months' Intensive Service for
Each Youth in Nineteenth
Year Is Proposed.
WASHINGTON. A;:?. 4. War depart
ment recommendation for a system of
universal military training of three
months for all eligible youths In their
1 Oth year was presented by Secretary
Baker todav to the senate and house
military committee. Tor their guidance
in determining the permanent military
policy of the nation.
The proposal is contained in a bill
prepared by the preneral staff of the
army at the secretary's direction. Sec
retary Baker said that General Per
hins? had not been consulted and that
the plan was tentative to that extent.
21 IJIviwIon Are Propound.
The department's bill calls for a reg
ular army of 21 divisions and necessary
auxiliary cervices, with a peace
strength of 510.000 enlisted men ami a
war strength would be provided through
a modified form of the selective service
act under which the national army was
raised for the war with Germany,
For training purposes, only youths in
their l?th year would be called to the
colors for a three-months periods to be
attached to regular divisions for that
time. It is estimated that this would
provide an annual class of f.00,000 men
to receive intensive military instruc
tion, stripped of all vocational or edu
cational features.
National Ouard ot Mentioned.
For two years after training the
Touths would be required to nubmit
certain reports giving their addresses,
changes in status as to dependents,
physical condition, etc. They would
receive $1 for each report submitted. In
the event of war all men in this status
would be called to the colors to fill up
the regular di vision p and compose the
first replacement units.
The bill provides for reorganization
of the regular army in substantially
the same terms as previously recom
mended by Secretary Baker when the
current army appropriation bill was
under consideration. No mention of
the national guard is made in the bill,
but in his letter to the committee chair
men Secretary Baker said he assumed
that the national defense act would
be continued in force, making the guard
subject to federalization for war.
Service to Carry No Pay.
One feature of the universal training
plan is complete federalization of the
registration and induction machinery.
Jjocal and appeal boards would be
created as during the war, except that
compensation at ?10 a day is provided
lor board officials.
Youths in training would receive no
pay, but would receive payment for all
expenses and an allowance of $5 a
month for incidentals. No exemptions
would be granted except to soldiers,
t-a ijors, members of the merchant
marine, public or private, or to those
mentally or physically deficient.
To meet the case of those with de
pendents, however, provision is made
for deferring the training period.
The theory on which the bill rests
is that an army of 1,250,000 should be
a va ilable for rapid mobilization at
need.

L.OXDO.N. July 14. (Correspondence
of the Associated Press.) The Greek
army of occupation, which landed at
Smyrna a few months ago. murdered
and pillaged the Turks, according to
a letter published by Marmaduke Pick
ihall. a well-known writer on easteia
affairs. The writer of the letter wa
described by Mr. Pickthall as -'a re
liable corespondent," but his identity
was not disclosed.
The writer asserts that when the
Greek army landed at Smyrna. Turkish
troops had been ordered by the Turkish
authorities to remain in their barracks
and that they did so; but that the
Greeks broke into places where Turk
ish officers were collected and snot
down all who would not shout "long
live Venizelos." Many were thus shot
down according to the writer. The
writer adds:
The trovernor of Smyrna was
draprged along the wharf and carried
aboard a Greek ship. His wife was
wounded and his house looted. ine
Turkish chief of staff was bayoneted
in the face and thrown into the hold
of the Greek cattle ship among the
animals. The senior doctor of the
Turkish army corps was murdered and
his body mutilated. Fingers of Turk
ish men and women who wore rings
were cut off -wholesale. Houses were
looted, women robbed of all their
jewels.
"This was supposed to De an aoso-
lutely peaceful occupation in the in
terests of law and order. Greece had
not even been at war with Turkey.
In no case did the Turks show fight
until thev were attacked by the Greeks.
The civilian Greeks joined with the
invading soldiery in the work of mur
der and pillage. And the allied fleet
acquiesced in these proceedings, which
were made possible only by its pres
ence." A member of the house of commons
recently asked the povernment rep
resentatives whether It was true that
the Greeks had massacred their pris
oners in Smyrna in full sight of the
allied war ships. Sir Cecil B. Harms
worth, now secretary or foreign af
fairs, replied that numerous Turkish
oficers and men lost their lives in
that way, but the Greek government,
he said, regretted the affair and it
was engaging the attention of the
British minister to Paris.

explosion, on the roof of a home near
the Lawler residence. The disco wry
gave the officers sufficient pieces of
the missile - so they could reconstruct
it. Originally, they said, it was about
eight inches long and three inches in
diameter, made of a piece of cast iron
sewer pipe with nipples screwed on
both ends to retain the explosive with
which it was filled. In one end a hole
was drilled to receive the fuse by
which it was set off.

Adjutant-General Hopes Effort
Get Relief Will Be Reconsidered
by Oregon's Leader.
SALEM, Or.. Aug. 4. (Special.)
Although Colonel John L. May, com
mander of the 3d infantry. Oregon
guard, gave out a statement recently
that he wished to be relieved of his
duties in that capacity, his formal res
ignation had not been received by Adju
tant-General Stafrin tonight. It is pos
Ible, General Stafrin says, that Colonel
May will reconsider his action and re
main in command of the regiment.
If Colon May refuses to reconsider
his resignation the 3d Oregon will not
receive full recognition from the gov
eminent until the four companies yet
to qualify can meet and elect officers.
At that time the captains of the 15 com
nanies can hold an election, and name a
successor to Colonel May.
Adjutant-General Stafrin is liberal in
his praise of Colonel May and regrets
that his resignation came at a time
when federalization of the regiment
was near completion. Because of Colonel
May's resignation none of the men in
11 companies already qualified in Ore
gon will receive ay from the govern
ment untu me slate, organization la
completed.

Attired in a suit of overalls, and tak
ing with him only a bottle of medicine
and a razor, Beesley left for the woods

with the opinion by Klthu Root, Will

counsel for the United States Brewers'
association, that the proposed war pro
hibition enforcement act is unconstitu
tional. Mr. Wheeler also denied that
the league forces intended to start an

" Referring to charges of the asso
ciation opposed to national prohibi
tion that the Anti-Saloon League wan
actively aiding a campaien of t h
W. C. T. TJ. against tobacco, Mr. Wheeler
said :
"The anti-tobacco scarecrow of th

fool anyone. The Anti-Saloon league
force have no intention to start thts
crusade. The liquor traffic is a public
nuisance. The tobacco habit may be a
private or personal bad habit, but it is
not in the same class as intoxicating

has just held a practical referendum
on this very question, and the answer
is a thundering demand for the return
of the lines to private operation. We
are told that the brotherhods control

When You
Be D
eceived
Buy Linoleum
Wlien you go into a store to buy linoleum, make sure you get
it, and not a felt paper product that closely resembles linoleum
and which is frequently sold under the name of "Linoleum."
"Felt Base Linoleum." "Enamelled Linoleum." "New Process
Linoleum," etc. The Federal Trade Commission has decided that
such felt paper floor coverings are not linoleum, and that their
sale under the name. "Linoleum," deceives and misleads the public,
and hence is a violation of the Act of Congress approved September
26. 1914.
The Commission finds that the word, "linoleum," has a defi
nite meaning, and may only properly be used to describe a floor
covering composed of oxidized oil and gums intimately mixed with
ground cork or wood flour, pressed on a suitable fabric back. The
Commission further finds that floor coverings made of felt paper
saturated with asphalt, with a pattern painted upon the' surface,
are nol linoleum, and must not be described, advertised, or sold
as linoleum.
One manufacturer of felt paper" floor coverings ha been
ordered by the Commission to stop using the word, "linoleum," in
connection with his product and to discontinue its use in the name
of his company until such time as he may manufacture linoleum.
Linoleum enjoy an enviable reputation as a tough.. wear resist
ing and sanitary fleor covering. There are three easy ways to dis
tinguish linoleum from painted felt paper floor coverings: .
1 . Linoleum has a burlap back.
2. Linoleum does not tear easily.
3. The edge of felt paper floor coverings is always
black.
The public is invited to report any violation of the Commis
sion's ruling, on the part of any store, to the Federal Trade Com
mission, Washington, D. C, or to any of the undersigned manu
facturers of linoleum.
