TIIE SUNDAY ORECOXIAX. rOISTLAXb, 3IAKCTT SO. 1919. 12 m REFORMS ARE PROPOSED BY BAKER All Applicants Unfit to Be Ex eluded From Service. RECRUIT SYSTEM OUTLINED 6crj.(ns Chatters Will Be Made in Irr-iit I'lan of Examinations , for Mllilarjr Duty. WASHINGTON. Th new army that Ik to b formed after the prmtnt es tablishment is disbanded will be re rrnited by the most scientific methods of tentative plans announced today: There also will be sweeping reforms In discipline. In this Ihe secretary i sacc-edins to tbo recommendations of the conference on disciplinary regula tions, recently in Mioti. When a man offers himself for en listment he not only Kill receive physical examination, but export psy chiatrists will give his mental pro ces'S and temperament a thorough tvcrhaulintr with a view of determining if he is likely to be insubordinatee. disloyal, or to develop any other at tribute that would make him unfit as a manager of the United States army. The duty of these officers will be the exclusion from the service of ap plicants determined to be definitely un fitted morally or mentally, and to mark for future special attention by com manding officers, morale officers and others concerned all doubtful or bor derline cases for enlistment. It is planned that reviewing authori ties In taking action on courtmartial Trial shall have the benefit of a nsy- chiatric study of the individual as is now done at the United States di dplinary barracks, as soon as It 1 practicable to bring this about. Hard LaMr" -la Paalahmeat. Another feature of the proposed revolution in army discipline is that the "hard labor" given to each pris oner r hall be in reality, -wherever pos sible, a course of work that will result in his leavinar the place of his con flnement with some useful knowledge acquired during confinement; that the opportunities for schooling in the dis clplinary barracks and its branches shall be largely increased, and larger additions made to their libraries, es pecially in technical books, that the school system be established and ex tended to include the necessary per sonal equipment, and that courses be so arranged that prisoners may take what amounts to correspondence work within the walls. It is further provided that on recom mendation of the commandant moder ate remission of sentences to make pos sible a slightly earlier parole shoud be granted to prisoners who success fully complete courses of real value that special attention to day schooling be given for those that are clearly de ficient or totally lacking In common school branches, they being excused from some part of the day's labor when necessary, and that the school system adopted .shall conform in general out line to army course of Instruction which may be adopted for the enlisted men of the army. Iaaovatioa Affects Deserters. Still another Innovation proposed is that soldiers dropped from ther oils as deserters who voluntarily surrender three months within time of desertion will be sent, if practicable, to the dis ciplinary barracks for trial. If convicted and sentenced, and the report of the psychiatrist is favorable, the reviewing authority should, if he deems wise In any instance, commute the sentence to three months confine ment with a view to the immediate as ienment of such soldier to the dis ciplinary battalion. The usual sen tence in peace time is dishonorable dis charge and IS months' imprisonment. the association on the difficulties of the liauor trade under the. present con ditions, he said he was in favor of open ing saloons on Sundays from 13 o'clock till S P. L and from 7 to 9 P. M. In Wales it would be necessary to make a little modification in the matter of hours of opening in consequenee of the Welsh peoples religious feelings, ana he suggested that the open houra should be from 12 to 1 P. M. and from 8 to 9 P. M. on Sundays. Mr. Perry was keen on getting Sun day opening in Wales, especially in view of the abuses on the borders. where a walk of a few miles out of Wales into Kngland would enable a Welshman to get as much drink as he liked. Me considered it a shame that people should be enticed from their homes in this way. He believes that if his suggestion is carried out there would be more people in Wales going to the churches and chapels, for they would get their little "tonic" on their way back and "go home to bed." WEDDING PLOT CHARGED Profcsor Is Acx-used of Fraudulent Marriage. CHICAGO Members of the faculty of Northwester university and a- num ber of people in Kvanston have been re ceiving peculiar letters from John Le Vehle. 7S years old, a farmer of Colura bta City. Ind. The letters allego fraud on the part of M. Koy Hammer, associate professor of drawing of hte university.

The next war will not last more than four weeks. It will be decided in the air. That country which has the larger and better supply of commercial air craft because these can be converted easily to military purposes will be the winner. These were some of the statements with which Leon Cammen, engineer, electrified his fellow-members at the annual meeting of Aeronautical Society of America. Camen..second vice-president of the Aeronautical Society, discussed "The Weapons of the Next War." After re clewing the methods and the instru ments of the war recently ended, he said: The real revolution in methods of warfare is coming with the adequate use of aircraft, moth llfhter and heavier than air. All other developments in the methods of wsrfare are predicted on the proper employment of aircraft. The destructive power aircraft bombard ment has never been tried out in full. Propping a few shell may make good newspaper 'copy.' but does not achicv much In the way of results. "In the next war we should expect to see the same thing on a vwstly geater fcale. with from 200 to 300 planes used night after night on each objective, in hatches of 40 to 60 at a time, at periods f one to two hours. Bombardments on this scale will be made possible by the trreater range and greater carrying ca pacities of thep lanes and the noiscless ness of their engines and propellers. "Kut the point to bear in mind is this: The next vr if there be any will be planned far more carefully. The de poison gas and especially aircraft will te prepared on a scale of far more tre mnedous proportions than anything hitherto conceived. "The aim of the attacking party will to cause stich a tremendous destruc tion of life and property in the first lour weeks as to make further resist ance by the enemy impossible. And. what Is more, this can be achieved. "In this initial attack aircraft will play the principal role, and since com mercial aircraft can be easily converted to military uses, that country which has the most planes and dirigibles will be the best equipped for attack or de fense. In other words, even a brief analysis of the weapons of the next war shows that thel ife and property of na tions are now at the mercy of each other and that the best protection for the safety of peoples lies in the air. " plane is well worth a regiment of soldiers, and a day may come when a regiment will be simply so many men tor slaughter unless supported by the proper number of aircraft. The devel opment of aircraft, both military and commercial, is, therefore, the problem pf the day." I TIRfc. i f .,-- '-?y r 'v V-V ' I V ' f : I ' ' ! I f - . t t iV fnrrrn-simfiUti 111 vl m J G. Carveth Wells. For the benefit of the scholar ship fund of the Lincoln high school graduating class Mr. and Mrs. G. Carveth Wells will give their lecture on "Six Years in the Jungle" at the school auditorium at 8 o'clock Tuesday evening. With the fund, which is raised by the students, one member of the class will be sent to the Univer sity of Oregon. Mrs. er to Professor Hammer's mother, Jennie Hammer, aged 63. President Thomas F. Holgate, of the university, said: These letters have been coming in since December. We have investi gated. I am convinced of the inno- cense of Professor Hammer. The mat ter appears to 'be personal. The uni versity will take no action." It is said that more than 500 letters have been circulated. De Velde. who was formerly a Chi cago haberdasher and a deacon of the Grace Congregational church, in addi tion to making the charges against the professor, has gone to some pains and expense to publish letters written dur ing his wooing of Mrs. Hammer. He charges that Professor Hammer engineered the marriage in 1915, which was illegal because no license had been secured. He further states that E. K. Strong, uncle of Professor Hammer. drew up the pre-nuptial agreement which is the basis of the alleged fraud Professor Hammer said that the elab orate publication of all the letters and the sending of the material to the members of the faculty were a form of "indirect blackmail" essayed by the farmer. He said postoffice department officials are investigating. Professor Hammer says that De Velde's mind is unbalanced and cited ncoherent sections of the briefs De Velde has prepared. The farmer says the pre-nuptial con tract, by which he was to pay Mrs. Hammer J55U0 in event of a separation. was forged, iTOIessor Hammer says the contract was drawn at the demand of De Velde. .After 18 months a divorce was gran- ed the farmer. On the strength of the pre-nuptial contract the wife procured $1700 from him. Professor Hammer says the marriage was legal and asserts a copy of the marriage papers is on file in the Indi ana town where the marriage took place.

He is charged tech nically with having carried two quarts of whisky in a suitcase from Chicago. disposing of it in small quantities in cities along the railroad in Washing ton. At times he had taken as many as 18 suitcases filled with liquor on these trips, the agents say. Phillip J. Barry, acting superinten dent, bureau of investigation, depart ment of justice, said he possessed evi dence showing the activities of several similar bands and said a concerted drive against them was imminent.

TWrp has alwavs been an argument between some of my esteemed professional brethren as to propriety of "guaranteeing" dental work and the claim is advanced that, owing to the liability of pyorrhea, nf human tissue, sickness, uncleanliness, etc., a dentist could NOT, in justice to HIMSELF, guarantee dental operations. Granting that circumstances may alter every case, I still claim that the public is entitled to a guarantee of value for every dollar spent, whether it is in a department store or a dental office, and under "My Creed," as stated, I cannot see the justice of asking the patient to accept ALL the risk. A Few Reasons Why I Can Absolutely Guarantee My Work to Stand Up and Give Satisfactory Service The dentist doing the work (in my office) is registered, qualified and experienced; capable of doing his work in a first-class manner. That he understands Asepsis and Antisepsis, and uses every pre caution to insure cleanliness and prevent infection. That instruments are sterilized the moment they are used, and the hands and linen kept scrupulously clean. That materials used are of standard quality, exactly as represented, and as good or better than used by the best dentists in the state. That all mechanical work (plate, crowns, bridges, inlays, etc.) is carefully made by qualified and competent mechanics, who do nothing else. That I am personally able, willing and ready to make right at any time any work done in this office where material or workmanship was at fault. THAT IS ALL THE PUBLIC COULD ASK -AND IS AS LITTLE AS THE DENTIST SHOULD GIVE. To do less is to acknowledge either inability or unwillingness to do good work and stand back of it. l 'r Ktrnsrne in ihe an war to the nn pertain ties of coal and wood.
