"I realize that the country is in dire peril of a coal famine this winter and I want to help all I can. "This 'public be damned' policy of capital and labor strikes me as being Just as knlserlstic as any of the rollcies we were fighting a pa Inst in the war last year. It Is the prin-

Vy'ciple of the thin?: that pets me.

"inis soap nox oratory is an right on the Fourth of July but that does not pet any coal in your cellar. If we want cnnl we must dig for it. "Now understand me, I am not against labor, strictly speaking. I realize that this strike Is the best method of placing their demand bof.re the publle. Hut In doing this they have disregarded the public entirely and at a season when the public noctis them most. I realize also that there are many secret workings, of capital that are not rieht- I knowthat capital now is following the footsteps of Cornelius Vandfrbilt. who several years ago politely told the public to go to hell and that he would run the New York Central lines as he pleased. "Now that Is not right. Gives Idea. "T think there should be a means of arbitration between the parties who are debatinp at the expense of the public. "I am planning1 to po west to take up a. position the latter part of November but I nm willing to give up my work and if necessary pay my own expenses to help the country when it needs me. and I think there are thousands in the United States who would' do the same thing."

GOOD REFUSES TO LEAVE PAL Refuses Offer of Bail Says He Will Remain Until Kennett is Freed. George W. Good refuses to desert a friend. Although Mr. flood's friends had arranged for his release from the city Jail under a $10.000- bond Saturday afternoon for his apnearance before the St. Joseph superior court to answer to the charge of receiving stolen goods in connection with the unraveling of the Studebaker liberty bond mystery, Mr. flood flatly refused to accept their offers of assistance until his friend, Leo M. Kennett, was also released. Tho time for fixing the bonds for the two men was set for " o'clock Saturday afternoon. At that hour friends of Mr. flood were on hand with the necessary surely for his release. Kennett, who confessed to having destroyed 22 of the 25 ten thousand dollar Uberty bonds found by him on the floor at the corporation's offices early last January and having attempted with Good to dispose of. the three remaining bonds, occupied the cell next to the one occupied by flood "This young man is much younger than I am, and I will not ieave him here alone," Good told his attorney, Louis M. Hammerschmidt. and his friends who had gathered it the jail to obtain his release from custody. Moved by Loyalty. Kennett's eyes filled with tears when he heard flood's declaration that he would remain until his friend was released"Don't do that, Mr. Good; po home to Mrs. Good." Kennett told the man in the next cell. "No; I'm not poinp to leave you alone. I will stay hero until they pet a bond for you as well ns for me." replied Good. He remained firm in his determination in spite of the persuasion of his attorney and friends. John G. Yeagley, Kennett's counsel, began Immediately to make arrangements for obtaining; a bond for his client. Good would not leave his cell until a bond was furnished for his friend's release. Approves Affidavits. County Pros. Samuel P. Schwartz lato Saturday afternoon approved the affidavits against Kennett and Good, and issued warrants for their formal arrests. Kennett is charged with prand larceny and Good with receiving stolen property. Roth men aro held for the superior court grand Jury. In his talk with Good Saturday morning Pros. Schwartz obtained the same stcry told by Kennett in his confession with the exception of that part of Kennett's story regarding the finding of the bonds on the floor of the corporation's offices, and the subsequent burning of 22 of the 2 ten thousand dollar bonds. Good's story dealt principally with the rttempt to dispose of tho three remaining bonds. John Cook was a friend of Good, and Cook, who lives in Kalamazoo. Mich , engineered the deal by which the bonds were to be disposed of. according to information in the hands of the authorities. There were three notes totaling $23,000. These notes were signed by F. A. Johnson. This was a fictitious name. According to the confession of Kennett and the statement of Good, the notes were sent in blank by Cook to Good. Good in turn gave thm to Kennott. who signed the name "V. A. Johnson" to thom and then returned ihem to Good. The three notes were then sent to Cook at Kalamazoo and he in turn filled them out. They were for equal amounts, one payable in three months, one in nine, months and the third in one year. They were all past due. And this is where Alfred C. Mills became interested In the case. Secured by Itotids. The notes were supposed to be secured by $30.000 In Liberty bonds. Cook went to Mills with the proposition that the notes wet c overdue and that he had been givn the three Liberty bonds as surety.

GEN. PERSHING MS PLAN FOR RESERVE FORCE Proposes Service for ex-Service Men as Basis of Universal Training.

ELIMINATES NATIONAL GUARD Ity MorL-it! Press: WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 . A volun teer force of officers and men who; served in the great war, so organized as to preserve war time designations of units, was proposed to the military committees of conrvs Saturday by Gen. Pershing as the basis of a permanent reserve to bo maintained in future nv universal service.. Until universal training ot under! way, he told the committee, divisions! i and smaller units now disbandedi i could be brought back into existence j on paper, with enough volunteers! from thrir former perr-onr.el to make up the skeleton of a continuing reserve system. Asiiiln;' Men. Later, be continued, men emerging from universal training eauip could !f asM-r.io'l to thewo reserve! iirs in tht ir home localities. Ho; suggested that the men thus assigned be assembled for drill or m-ineuvers "once 'or twice during the period they are held for possible service" after training though they could not be actually called into service except in time of war. The general said that the- proMem of littiiiK In this plan with any eon-j tinuance of the national guard as such was difficult. He suggested that the governors of states might be given authority to call the reserves into service in local emergencies, but preferred that their training and organization be distinctly federal. Army Promotions. Gen. Pershing also declared his pr. Verence for many promotions by selection rather than seniority, and' recommended a single list for pro-' motion. In that way, he said, much! "(bad timber" could be eliminated I and existing inequalities between! staff and line removed. The present promotion system, he characterized as "absurd." The witness virtually completed his statement before the Joint sessions of the committees Saturday but he asked time to consider some of the questions submitted by members and probably will appear again next week.
