He has been trained I by Foch, and was the only general ofI fieer in whom Foch, confined the seI crets of his strategy. Foch sent Weygandt to Poland in 1920 to stop the march of the Red Russian army on Warsaw. Weygandt In four days turned an almost hopless rout into an orderly attack and stopped the Russians, turned them back and sent them running back into the Soviet state. During the final week of Foch’s life, he dictated to Weygandt as "military testament” which is believed to contain his final suggestions for the defense of France, a complete plant of action in case France is ever again I attacked. Sarrail Attempt Fails When General Sarrail. former commander of the French Armies of the Orient, died recently there was an effort to obtain a posthumous conferring of the Marshal's grade on him, but it failed.

By'Joseph H. Baird i (United Press Aviation Editor) Washington, Apr. 20, —(U.R) — One' takes off from New York by airplane early in the day, has lunch at a case on an artificial Island far out at sea, and comes to rest on the Bermuda islands toward mid-afternoon. Such a program will be not only practicable but practiced in the near future under plans being carried out by the Armstrong Seadrome Company which is now erecting the seadrome "LankJey” between New York and Bermuda. A series of similar "islands” connecting America and Europe is the ultimate goal of the company, the Commerce Department heer has been informed. Picture a perfect plane 1.200 feet long by 200 wide at the ends and 400 in the center, 80 feet above the water and supported by pontoons reaching 150 feet below the waves. That's the "Lankley.” The deep pontoons its designers say will render the landing platform immune to wave action. Anchors dropped by three-mile chains to the ocean floor will hold the float stationary. On either side and at the center of the large float a hotel case, garage, gasoline storage tanks and various nenecessary ofifees will be erected. And. Volstead opponents will note with pleasure, an old-fashioned bar will be provided on the ‘ Langley” for she is without the jurisdiction of America law, or any other. Fur companies in Canada are finding the airplane valuable for collecting pelts from isolated trappers in the froxen northwest. Early this month an auction sale of STYLE NOW IS KEYNOTE St..

FRANCE CLEANS HOUSE IN TWO PROFESSIONS Law-Breaking Bankers And Ambulance-Chasing Doctors Behind Bars By Richard Devern McMillan (United Press Staff Correspondent) Paris, Apr. 20.—(U.R)—If law breaking by professional men anti women in France—doctors and bankers and other business men— continues at the present rate there soon will be no room in the jails for the old type offenders. Historic Sante prison, once the abode of political offenders such as the Royalist Leon Daudet who made a sensational escape by means of a hoax more than a year ago, has now become a lodgment for scores of socially prominent Parisians who have been drawn into the post-war vortex of getting rich quick. Madame Hanau, woman financier who ran her own newspaper “Gazette du Ftanc" in order to get clients for her suspected financial schemes, set the ball rolling when her schemes fell crashing about her ears and shook the Bourse and even had repercussions in the Cabinet. She is now in the women's prison of St. Labare where she has as companions half a dozen murderesses. Following the Hanau crash, other wobbling financial institutions toppled dike ninepins and within three weeks something like 15 well-known inn in the French financial world found themselves under lock and key at the Sante. Other comrades from Bourse and bank join them every few days as the weeding out process instituted by the diligent French SureteGenerale continues. Doctors Behind Bars At the same time as this financial dry rot caused the temporary removal of bankets and their associates, the medical profession—the shadier section of it, that is to say—was also experiencing a crisis, which likewise continues, bringing more than 30 doctors behind the bars in the space of a few months. These “medecins matrons” as the French call them had been ambulance chasing. Setting up practice" in dingy rooms in the suburbs or provincial towns, they soon let it be known they were ready to help any work-shy fellow draw his salary without the trouble of hateful labor. An illuminating case was that revealed at the Parisian suburb of Levallois, where an agile detective ended the crooked career of a shady medical. The detective first phoned the doctor, calling him away on what was supposed to be an urgent case. Then the sleuth went to the doctor’s clinic and found all matter of aparatus for faking wounds. He then put on a white smock and sat down to wait. Within an hour he had three patients—all come back to have their wounds reopened I Overcrowding Danger With the usual number of crooks of other genders drifting into the Sante at the same time as these professional men, there is danger of prison becoming overcrowded and there is even talks of plans of extension of the jtenitentiary, but this is hardly feasible since the prison is situated in the heart of Paris and occupies an entire block around which numerous habitations cluster. Although there might be danger of overcrowding, inmates of the Sante have not much to complain about, since the authorities have introduced quite a number of humane ideas, such up-to-date libraries, saving banks to enable the prisoners to have something in cash when they go out into the busy streets of the Gay City once again, and so forth. Among the many personalities presently behind the bars in the Sante is the notorious Black Sea mutiny when an attempt was made to hand over a French man o’war to the Bolsheviks. He is now paying the penalty for inciting French troops to mutiny. The most interesting prisoner in all France at the moment, however, is a yong Belgian student, Adolphe Steffen, aged twenty, awaiting trial for the murder of a railroad guard. He head a bloodthirsty tale of a train hold-up in America, bought a gun, took the express for Nancy and while the train was travelling at 60 miles an hour crawled along the footboards and six shots into the body of the guard. 0 Seeks To Prevent Tax Board From Enforcing Chain Store Tax Law Indianapolis, Apr. 20 —(U.R)—Suit to enjoin the state tax board from administering the store licensing act passed y the last legislature was filed in federal court here today by Lafayette A. Jackson, proprietor president of the Standard Grocery Co., operating 225 stores in Indianapolis. The act requiring a license of all stores in the state on a graduating scale depending on the number of stores under single ownership or single management.is attacked on the grounds that it violates the bill of rights in the United States constitution; the Indiana constitution because discriminatory. Without making them parties the suit declared it was filed in behalf of all stores in the state. • <t <a ■

FINAL MEMBER DRIVE PLANNED BY THE LEGION Indiana Leads All Big Departments Os Legions In Membership Gains Indianapolis, Apr. 20. —(Special)— The two hundred fifty posts of the ’American I egion in Indiana are mobilizing this week for a final membership push which they believe will put them in first place nationally, said Pleas E. Greenlee, of Shelbyville, de partment adjutant. He said: “From a place far back in the field, Indiana has pushed forward and is now leading all big departments of the Legion in point of membership gains. A few small Legion departments such as- Hawaii, Panama, and District of Columbia, which showed great gains over inactivity of last year are ahead of Indiana. "Old Rosebud, the horse assigned Indiana in the Legion membership race this year, has worked well up in the field and bids fair to lead the entire fifty-six departments of the Legion by the Louisville national convention next October. This state has a good chance a SIOO sweepstakes prize that has been put up. All Posts To Take Part “Every post in the state has been requested to take part in this final cleanup drive to contribute their share to the extra members for the 35,000 goal set for this 'state at the beginning of the year. Indiana hopes by showing the greatest member gain to lead the national parade at Louisville, Ky., an honor that is conferred on the Legion state showing the greatest gain. "Membership in only the groundwork for the other big objectives of the Legion. Immediately upon reaching its membership quota every post in the state is urged to undertake some worthy community endeavor. The Indiana posts of the Legion have undertaken more than two hundred different kinds of community activity. “Foremost in the Legion program this year is the care for disabled veterans of the World war, their dependents, and the orphans ot deceased veterans. The cases of disabled veterans who have not yet received justice are now difficult to handle since so much time has elapsed since the war. The Legion is standing in the front line trenches in helping obtain the benefits for the war disabled. “Membership is essential before undertaking community projects and the obtaining of assistance for the World war disabled,” said Greenlee. — o Get tne Habit —Trade at Home, It Pays

INDANIA TOWN STAGES FIGHT ON BLUE LAWS Four Persons Already Under Arrest And 28 Others Threatened Columbus, Ind., Apr. 20.—(U.R) — With four men under arrest and the possibility that 28 others may face charges, this city Is in the thick of a “blue Sunday” war. Trouble began when Frank J. Remhusch, Shelbyville, owner of two thentets hete, opened one of them on a Sun day. Fifteen minutes later he was arrested. charged with violating the state blue law, as was his son, Trilman Reinbusch, and Donald Wagner» In relation. Rembusch filed charges of Sabbath desecration against O. B. Anderson, a city councilman and druggist, accused Rembusch of selling tobacco on Sunday. The theater owner has a list ot 28 other persons he declared violated the blue law. The present controversy recalls a bitter fight against Sunday shows here two years ago. At that time, a police officer broke down the door of a motion picture machine booth to arrest the operator. Anderson took up a collection to aid in prosecution of the persons arrested. Ralph H. Spaugh is waging the legal part of the fight for Rembusch. He indicated that if Prosecuting Attorney William H. Dobbins refuses to issue affidavits in the other 28 eases, a mandamus suit may be filed. Rembusch's Statement Rembusch, in a statement commenting on the "blue law” situation here, says in part: “We have made during the last five years a careful survey of what the people of Columbus want and know that 85 per cent feel that clean, wholesome amusement and recreation is a necessity on Sunday. We will go further and say that 90 per cent of the people of Bartholomew County will be found riding in automobiles, playing cards down by the creeks in the summer time, operating the radio or player piano or in some way finding happiness and diversions on Sunday from strenuous labor of today. "Three years ago we opened the Crump theater on Sunday and were interfered with by the police officials. We were brought to trial in the city court and lost the case because oft'iI cials called for jury service wives of the clergy and only persons who never go to a show even on a week-day and want every joy suppressed. 'We took the case to the circuit court and in a few minutes were acquitted by citizens who by their verdict proved that clean, wholesome amusement is necessary and that the people of Columbus want it and they should have what they want and need.” o Marion—(UP)—Slfo Maffett, veteran postal clerk, who has been petitioned by the government walked 131,400 miles on Marion streets during the first eighteen years he spent as a carrier. Following that he spent 30 years as directory clerk to set another distance record.
