NEW LONG RANGE
CAN FIRE ACROSS CHANNEL
By Henry Wood.
PARIS, Sept. 20. England here
after must defend herself from the
Rhino, and not from the Thames.
Thanks to the present perfection of
long range artillery, not to mention
its future possibilities, as well as
aerial warfare, England faces the ne
cessity of an immediate revision of
her whole system of national defense.
This is tho declaration of General
Hirschuuer, one of the most distin
guished military chiefs thnt the
French army produced during the
war, and now member of the French
sennto, 1
From now on the English navy,
however powerful it may be, will no
longor be sufficient to maintain Eng
land's "proud Isolation," declares
General Hiraehnuer,
Up until 1914, the lines of defense
for London were situated at 15 to
20 kllometors outsido, the capital.
During tho war England found -it
necessary to establish Its defenses op
tho Continent. Now, according to
General Hlrschajier, England's sole
hope of dofending Its capital Is to
establish lines of defense either on
tho Mouse or on tho Rhino,
General Hirschuuer . points out
that nt the present time England's
entire plans of national defense are
stilt based on the Imperial decree of
188S, The keynote of this decree,
nnd as .a consequence, of England's
defense, is found In the following
clnitBo;
"The Ifefonso of the Thames pre
sents a great importance, because
large military establishments end
nrsennls are situated on both sides
of the rtver, and, above ail, because
every landing' on British soil will
have for its object the capture of
London." t

PARIS, Sept. 20. Dramatically
clasping hands before the councillors
of flie League of Nations, Igoace
Paderewski and A. Valdemar today
accepted the league's findings in the
Polish-Lithuanian dispute, In which
war was Hirea'tened. Both said
that up to two weeks ago they be
lieved the dispute between the two
countries could only be settled by
war. Acceptance of the findings
marked the league's first success in
blocking a threatening war.
CORN MARKET GOES
UNDER DOLLAR MARK
Increased Offerings and Continued
Warm Weather To Mature Huge
Crop Thought Responsible,
(Br United Fna to Th. Bead Boltetta)
KANSAS CITY, Sept. 20. For the
first time since 1917, corn sold be
low 1 1 a' bushel here, when corn
dropped to S9 cents. Increased
country offerings and continued
warm weather, helping to mature the
big crop before the frost, are given
as reasons for the decline.'
ARTEERY
As a consequence, the British plan
for home defense provided that the
moment mobilization was ordered
the permanent army should at once
take up a position along the coast of
the channel and the North sea for the
purpose of "covering London." Then,
as soon as the troops of defense were
mobilized, the permanent army was
to become an army of meneuver.
In addition, London was defended
by rapid-fire guns that were supposed
to be sufficient to prevent a landing
of enemy troops; tines ot torpedoes
werep laced to prevent the approach
of troop ships; long range coast guns
were to ward off the enemy ships;
still In advance of all this passive de
fense, gunboats; torpedo boats and
coast guards were to be engaged in
active defense, while farther In ad
vance the British fleet was supposed
to smash the enemy fleet before It
got within smelling distance.
Now, according to General Hir
schauer, all of this has been rendered
out of date and useless by the devel
opment of long range guns and aer
ial fighting. England's only hope
of defending her capital and herself
must hereafter be made from the
Mouse or the Rhine.
"lit 191 S," mys General Hlr
sclmuer,' who Is one of the world's
greatest experts on artillery, "we dis
covered the gun with 120 kilometers
range Shortly this range was ex
tended to 150 kilometers. Soon we
wilt be at tO kilometers, and the lim
it even then will not have been
reached.
"It Is just 150 kilometers from
Calais or Boulogne to Loudon, Fe
camp, Dieppe, Abbeville, Aire and
Furnes 'are only 200 kilometers
awn?,'

By United Pro to Hie Bead BoHeilii)
WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 20.
The United States today informed
Haiti that the salaries ot ber presi
dent and other officials have been
withheld because the Island republic
has failed to observe treaties made
with America, the state department
announced, Haiti recently charged
American forces occupying Haiti and
San Domingo with treating the na
tives badly.
The treaty, signed between the
United States and Haiti soon after
American marines occupied the island
In 1915, provided for reforms and
methods of administration and put
an American adviser in control of
the republic's finances. According
to the state department, the 'Hai
tian congress recently passed several

POLITICS IS
LEGION ISSUE
QUESTION OF PARTICIPATION IX
POLITICAL STRIFE TO BE DIS
CUSSED AT THE NEXT AXXtAL
VETERANS SIEETIXG.
(Br United P to Th Bend Eulfctin)
NEW YORK, Sept, 20. Politics
will be the paramount Issue at the
nest convention of the American Le
gion, It was Indicated today In re
plies to a survey juat completed by
the American Legion Weekly to as
certain the views of the legion's 2,-
000,000 members regarding the po
litical restrictions clause Is the war
veterans organisation.
The sentiment, according to the
weekly. Is that a more liberal inter
pretation than generally has been ob
served bo placed on the clause In the
constitution which forbids connection
of the legion with politics. At pres
ent the clause reads:
"The American Legion shall be ab
solutely non-political and shall not
be used for the dissemination ot par
tisan principles or for the promotion
of the candidacy of any person seek
ing public office or preferment. No
candidate for, or incumbent of, a sal
aried elective office shall hold any
office In the American Legion, or In
any department or post thereof."
The question of official pirticipa
tion In the present national compatgn
and In state and local political bat
tles has been brought up several
times, officials have said. At the
Cleveland convention, which is to
convene September 2T, it Is regarded
at. likely that the whole phase will
be brought out Into the open for dis
cusston and final settlement.
