But they will notice that Europe's armies today are big eer than in 1013 before the great war. Three million men are under arms in Europe' now; other hundreds of thousands hnve been called to the colors for training. Swift mobilization is 1 practiced. ; France has OSC.OOO men un der arms; Italy 347,000; Eng land 408,000. Germany and Russia alone have reduced Germany from 800,000 to 100,. 000; Russia from .1,200,000 to 1)00,000. There is plenty of powder ready for the match.

The prosperous class has us ually done much as it pleased. H doesn't break little. ! laws about, pocket picking and stealing. It doesn't need to. It not only breaks but despises and teaches its children to de spise a prohibition law that in terferes with its pleasure. If lawmakers really meant to enforce prohibition, which they don't mean, they would make purchase of alcoholic drinks a felony, punished by imprisonment and heavy fine, fines to be divided by boot leggers giving information, the informers going scot free. Respectability is willing to break the law with the aid of n bootlegger, but wouldn't run the risk of being blackmailed I by the bootlegger afterward. Prohibition can be enforced if majority of the people want it. they don't want it, it cannot enforced. Changing a people's habits by is not easy.

Aug. 29.--(P) Viuifcutird of tho thousands ex pected hero to witness the sight of a southerner receiving notification of his selection for a place on the prpsliienliiil ticket of one of the, nation's major parties today was streaming into this quiet little mountain city. The majority of early arrivals came from homes south of the Mason-Dixon line, like that of the man ilicy have come to honoi Senator Joe T, Robinson of Arkan s:ih, who will he notified formally tomorrow that he . is the demo cratic party's vice presidential nominee. Nearly all who already arrived scarcely had unpacked their suit cases before they began inquiries wli:t llii no mi nee was r- pocted to say in his acceptance nd- "Whtit about prohibition?" that was the main question of those who wish to know how the sena tor, always a consistent supporter of temperance laws, will deal with the subject so fully covered by his running mate, Gov. Alfred JO. Smith of New York, the presiden tial nominee. Kami relief shared with prohibi tion the spotlight of advance spec ulation. It has been indicated for some Xlmy that Senator Robinson Will shoulder much of the burden of this issue. While Governor Hmith has outlined Ills idea for the aid of agriculture it is expected that much of the. .campaign, work, will be turned over to the vice presidential candidate who is fa miliar with the subject from long years in tho senate. In the meantime preparations were being pushed toward comple tion of arrangements for the cere monies at the Arlington, hotel. Stands with seating capacity of 24.000 stretched across the natural amphitheater in front of tho hotel. Workers were busy atlj listing the amplifiers over the spe a k e r's stands, and others completed t he Installation of flood lights. The amplifiers were tested and the hills surrounding J lot Springs proved to hv efficient sounding hoards, sending the voice of the trial speaker booming over the center of the city. Senator Itohlnson yesterday de voted much of his attention to a speech he will deliver in Dallas next Monday at a big Labor day meeting. In this address which he has announced will open his cam paign formally, the senator will deal at length with labor and farm relief questions. The vice presidential nominee expects to accomplish much work on his schedule of speeches before he starts next week on . tho cam paign tour during which he will make 14 addresses through the south.

(JP) A meeting of Tammany democrats nt which candidates were to have been named for county offices not already filled on the democratic ballot, and two Justices of the su preme court and other judges were to hnve been named; fell flat late today. The meeting, called by Gilbert Hamaker, president of the Tam many club, failed to attract 100 persons, the number required to make the nominating assembly legal. The 40 men present dis cussed plans for nnother meeting, nt which nominations will be made if a quorum te present. NEW YORK, Aug. 29. (ff) There peems to he no mystery about this. Paul Mellon, son of the secretary of the treasury, and two Yale chums, Franci Carmody nnd Jn m es I trad y , had a secret presidential poll all to themselves on tho way home from abroad.

(P) A leather brief case and a diary which belonged to Alexander AlcOallum Scott, former member of the Uritish parliament, who was a passenger on the missing British Columbia Airways plane, was washed upon the beach of Discov ery Bay today, near where bits of the plane's upholstery and a wick er chair had been previously found. SEATTT-M, Aug. 20. (P) Posi tive identification of bits of leath erette upholstery found on the beach of Discovery bay, near Port Townsend, as from the ill-fa Led Hritish Columbia Airways plane which vanished Saturday with sev en persons aboard, was made hurt today by O. C. George, Seattle rep resentative of the Hritlsh Colum bia Airways, JAU. "There Is no question nhout H,' George said, as he examined the greenish material. Bits of a com position material with a sliver gray finish, were said by George to have been part of the wull covering of the inside of the plane's cabin. A wicker chair washed up by the tide early today on the northern shore of Fort Point or Point Ueek ett, wos believed by Oeorge to def initely establish Discovery bay as the watery grave of the plane. J. Ernest Eve, president of the air ways company, who was aiding the searchers for the plane, also was convinced that the chair' was from the death ship. Drugging and shore patrolling operations were .Intensified with the finding of the wreckage. The bodies of the five pussengers and two pilots prohnbly are in the cabin of tho plane, Oeorge said.

Thirty orchard and lfi packing houses were visited in making this survey, which showed con- clUHlvely to Siincrinteiulont rick that the opening of the high school next week will not mate nultv affect the local fruit har vesting and shipping situation. Miss Kamsey found a total of ki mgn school suiuems emiuuyu, 50 In the packing houses and 3u in tho orchards. This small num ber, compared with the expected registration of 7"0 or over in the senior school, and of 4T.0 or more in the Junior high school, the school officials hold would not justify any delay In the scheduled opening of the schools next Tues day. However, superintendent Hedrlck thinks It unlikely that "wo hove been able to enlist th-j exact number of high school stu dents employed in the fruit har vest." Then, too, the packers feel thnt tho peak of the fruit season will be ovor hy September 4 and that less labor will be needed from then on. In making the survey yesterday, at one or two of the orchards visited, the owners or managers felt that probably a few more em ployes could he used later, hut the majority of the owners or managers thought thnt less would he needed. f Baseball Scores American n. h. 2 9 0 12 Chicago Philadelphia Ilatterles: Lyons nnd l?org; Wnl berg, Hommel nnd C'nelirnne.

West, Associated Press Staff Writer ' WASHINGTON, Aug. 29 --()) Ci'ohh currents of advice und opin ion ure bearing down upon Mer hert Hoover as he busies himself here determining campaign policies and deciding mutters of strategy of organization. These come largely from east and south, but sumo from tho west, as the republican presidential candidate confers; with his chief advisers from the various hoc l ions and once gets his grip firmly upon the controls of the party machin ery. With the return of Hoover from the west (here has been an increas ing pressure from New York nnd Now England for greater activities in those sections. The set up of the eastern organization never has boon precisely described and ap parently there are several groups operating more or less independ ently. One aet of managers now ad vises a general, headquarters for tho east and New York City while others propose that the fight in New York and New Jersey he car ried on under a directing force dis tinct from one to have charge of affairs in New England and es pecially In states like Massachus etts and Hhocle Island where Dm democrats are concentrating their efforts. - There also is an increasing de mand from the south for more ef fective, organization j work ihtye. . In that section too, somu advisors would have the effort concentrar-, ed largely In thoso stotes where locnl leaders claim Hoover senti ment has heen manifested. These nre some of the major problems Hoover must dispose of while ho is working out plans feu his personal participation in the campaign, which, If is becoming more and more evident, is likely to be upon a much more extensive scale than he contemplated even as late as tell days a-;o. Another subject to which the nominee will nddress himself this week Is that of parly finances. He has called In J, H. Nntt of Cleve land, national treasurer, and oth ers in charge of money matters. The republican party has pledged Itself to make frequent reports dur ing tho campaign as to income and outgo and the first of these is expected within a short, time. Tho republican nominee will carry on his conferences here In the future at general headquart ers which aro being set. up In a building near his S street home. There his work will he facilitated as he can keep his office force around him nnd also receive larger delegalions than he could at his home. WASHINGTON, Auk. 29. (!)
