TROY, N. Y., Nov. 5 (U.

She had been seriously injured and unable to call for help. “Thank God you've come,” she cried. “I never knew a night could pe so long.” TOBACCO QUOTAS SET WASHINGTON, Nov, 5 (U, P).— Secretary of Agriculture Claude R.

ARMY MECHANIZES ITS OFFICE WORK

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 (U. P.).— The trend toward mechanization in the Army is becoming more complete each day and the latest innovation, announced by the War Department yesterday, may rob the captain's pet of that soft detail on the typewriter. Instead of laboriously writing out each soldier's record on the cards and formal report sheets, comprising the Army’s “paper work,” business machines will be used.

in cards assigned to each man. This will record his special qualifications and keep an accurate up-to-the-minute record of all changes in his status. Machines will be installed at principal Army posts throughout the country, Puerto Rico, the Canal Zone, Philippine Islands, Hawalili, and in the Adjutant General's office here,

Seek to Halt Raid Looting

LONDON, Nov. 5 (U. P)~ Scotland Yard has organized flying squads to race to the

scenes of bombings as soon as air raids end, to frustrate looters. The increase in looting—140 cases taken to court in September; 250 cases in October—has brought demands from some newspapers for the death penalty. “Forward the gallows,” said the Sunday Dispatch. “Someone should be hanged quickly.” Much of the looting was blamed on gangs of. boys who race from air raid shelters to stores at the “all clear” signal, looking for wares scattered in the streets. Among the cases taken to court was that of a flower seller who stole one shoe, and explained, “I only wanted one because my left shoe was worn out.” A 20-year-old youth was sentenced to three months in prison for stealing a

few sweets.

course, was that he would continue to do so. | Opposing Mr. Wilson| was the] present Chief Justice, Charles Evans Hughes. Aud while Mr. Hughes was not running on a [war ticket any more than President Wilson | was running on a no-war ticker, Europe believed the election of Mr. Hughes probably meant, American intervention whereas the election of | Mr. Wilson meant staying out. Today as in 1916, either candidate, | if elected, doubtless will| be swayed | only by America’s best interests as he sees them. Nevertheless, today, | as then, the belligerents are making their own deductions. |
