SERVICE PARIS, Sept. 19-- The French Cabinet today approved Premier Po inenre's decision not to go to war in the Near East nor support Great Britain if that cation declares war on Turkey. The Cabinet confidned M. Poineare's Instructions to French representatives in all Allied capitals that France policy in one of peace in the Near East.

BY DAVID M. CHURCH STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE LONDON, Sept. 19 Following a meting of the cabinet today it was reported that Great Britain had reaffirmed her policy to defend the Turkish, straits to prevent the Turks from entering Europe even if she had to act alone. Despite the tremendous opposition to war Britain continues military prepara-tions. News that the French and Italians would withdraw their troops from the neutral zone along the Dardanelles. Sea of Marmora and Bosphorus came as a thunderbolt. One of the objects of Lord Curzon's visit to Tarls will be to attempt to have France modify this decision to leave a fair sized force of soldiers on duty. The friction between the allies, it is feared here, will encourage the Turks and may react in favor of the Russians, who have a treaty of

Motor Trucks

d Supply

Miles

HERBERT HOOVER says: "The motor truck has given every town an extended radius of food supply by some 50 miles, and thereby protects such vital matters as milk and perishables." Formerly 10 miles was as far as the farmer could profitably haul his produce. The increasing number of motor trucks on the farm is making the farmer more and more independent of other forms of transportation. It is extending a primary market five times, giving the farmer greater security and doing much to insure him the full profit from his crops and produce. E. E. La Schum, Superintendent of Equipment of the American Railway Express Company, says that while the average mileage of trucks is about 40 miles per day, they are capable of making 100 miles without undue strain. This means that in every truck there are 60 unused daily transportation miles, which can be used when emergency calls. The farmers of the 10 states served, by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) own 46,582 trucks. These represent unused, potential transportation of 2,794,920 miles per day quite enough to make the farmer feel reasonably independent and to make the city dweller secure. The value of these trucks to their owners, and to the community, depends upon an ample supply of gasoline and oils, instantly available when needed. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana), recognizing its duty to the public, has organized its distributing facilities to a point where only a complete breakdown of public utilities can prevent its supplying these trucks with oil and gasoline needed, no matter in what corner of the 10 states they may be. In the cycle of service to-which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is committed, the truck plays just as important a part as the automobile and the tractor. This entire organization is working as one man, to perfect a complete service, and to maintain this service at such a maximum of efficiency that no piece of automotive machinery in the Middle West need ever be delayed a single moment of usefulness through lack of suitable petroleum products.

The decision of Italy to withdraw he troop, leaving only a few warships In the straits was understood to have resulted from fears that the Turkish Nationalist would attack the Italian mandate zone in the Mediterranean on the Litteral. The campaign of labor and the press against another war continues to draw up resolutions warning the government not to engage In war with Turkey. The British Mediterranean feet

at the Dardanelles now consists

of the following units: One battle squadron. One light cruiser squadron. Two destroyer flotillas. Two aircraft carriers. Another dastroyer flotilla has arrived at Gibraltar. It may have

been the arrival of these small

craft which led to the rumor that the Atlantic fleet was going into the Mediterranean to reinforca the British Mediterranean fleet.

MT. VERNON, Sept. -- As a result of the destruction of the large mill of the American Hominy Co., at Terre Haute by fire, last week, the Mt. Vernon plant of the company will resume steady operations Monday, Sept- 25 Had the fire not occurred the plant here would have remained idle until the receipt of new corn. The Terre Haute plant manufactured the same product as the local plant hominy, grits and meal. Beginning Sept. 25, the plant here will employ 60 to 60 men and will contlniu in much steadier operation than heretofore, "because of the loss of production at the Terre Haute branch.

FRANKFORT, Sept.--Wilfred Moore, a prominent young farmer residing north of Frankfort, recently pleaded guilty to two liquor charges, and was sentenced to a term on the Indiana state farm. The young man was taken to Lafayette by Sheriff Allen, placed aboard a Monon train and told to report to the farm superintendent, and have the superintendent telephone when he arrived. At 6 o'clock that evening, the sheriff received a message from Putnamville, saying that Moore had

arrived on schedule time.

RICHMOND. Sept.-- Coach Ray B. Mowe, of Barlham college is confronted this year with the necessity of building up his gridiron warriors from the ground up. While about 40 men have been out practicing this week, only seven of them are experienced in college football work. The experienced men -- Hinshaw,

Carter, Emslie, Stanley Prevo, Harry

Prevo, Herb Bowles and Ralph Nades probably will form the nucleus for the varsity eleven. Coach Mowe, however, is not discouraged, for he faced the same condition last year, and turned out a team of merit. Sixty men are expected to report for service in preparation for games on the fall schedule. Hard and fast workouts are the order as the candidates reach the end of their practice. Dayton university, at Dayton, O., is the first opponent, the game being booked for Saturday, Oct. 7, at Dayton. On of the best schedules ever faced by Barlham lads is arranged and Coach Mowe is determined his men shall meet all dates with good results.

And In a city of six million. it isn't proving simple to carry out his offer. He did find.( however, that one son whose parents hadn't heard from him in several years, is living in Rochester, has a good job and owns an automobile. That was sufficient to make the parents happy the rest of their lives. "At first it seemed impossible to go on with the thing I had got myself into," he says, "but the letters are too pathetic and too hopeful to let me stop. It doesn't leave me much time for my work, but maybe it's helping somebody."

Wider and wider grows the field from which the motion picture Is drawing it writers. It has now in-

vaded the domain of the editorially writer and taken one of the biggest of them all. There is undoubtedly no better known editorial writer in this country than Bruce Barton, who has agreed to write a series of motion picture scenarios for Immediate production for the Better Day Pictures Corporation. The first one of the series is completed and has just oeen filmed. Mr. Barton will carry into his photoplays, the same inspirational, richly humorous note which is so well known in his edi-

The volunteer stage censorshp plan for the New York stage has begun functioning insofar as the committee has just held its first meeting. It is said, to be purely a coincidence that the meeting was set for the date which marked the opening of Avery Hopwood's "Why Men Leave Home." It was his play, "The Demi-Virgin," which started all the ruction last season .between the producer and Commissioner of licenses Gilchrist.

Ernest Aimless is a constant theater-goer. They hold the curtain for him on opening nights. People ask him Just for the fun of having him along. Yet it would happen that he would get the prize opportunity for attending the shows. Not long ago he answered a blind ad in one of he papers asking for "a young man of good appearance, who was interested in the theater." His letter secured an appointment and found an exceedingly comely young woman with red hair, who told him she wished reviews written of all the current attractions. He accepted willingly, and was on the point of asking the amount of pay, when she announced as a mere after thought. "You know one of the conditions of this work is that you attend the theater with me. Don't be alarmed. It does not carry any social Obligation. You meet me at the theater and bid me good night from there." She did not divulge the use she expected to make of the reviews, yet this fortunate youth is nightly at the theatres with this stunning girl, without so much as having to buy a taxicab, and getting paid besides. The worst of it is that he seems to take it for granted that he deserves what he is getting. I shall never see a young man spending $6.60 on his best girl for two seats again, without bemoaning the unfairness of life.

Clothes for men this coming season are evidently responding to the cry of the restless one in the political meeting who insisted that the speaker talk "louder and funnier."

No words other than exacty those would do Justiice to the new men's styles, I should say after seeing the exposition now being held here. Red, purple and magenta neckwear; Scotch tweeds in .patterns tha could be discerned through a London fog; sport stockings in which the rainbow runs rivet to the checkerboard; plaid shirts in heather shades; those are only a few of the details which thrust themselves upon our eyes. Oh, there is no doubt but what the male peacock is coming back into his own! LUCY JEANNE PRICE.

New York-- A certain Englishman in New York made a simple little gesture of friendliness to the people back home and in consequence his apartment in West 56th street has been turned into a detective agency, foundlings' hame and general utility station.
