Young M^n’s Business Organiza
tions of Lone Star State to
Make Diligent Effort to Attract
Europeans to the South.
Thousands of Skilled Workers
Will Be Offered Openings to
Make Fresh Sjart—Conven-
vention Votes Practical Plan.
FORT WORTH, TEXAS, July 3.—
Realizing that the European war has
set adrift thousands of young men,
•killed mechanics and scientific farm
ers, and believing that nothing could
be of greater benefit to Texas than to
Increase her population with such de
sirable citizens, the Associated Young
Men’s Business organizations of Tex
as voted at Its final session of its first
annual convention to formulate plans
for inviting such emigrants to start
life anew in this State.
The plan of the invitation, which
was offered in the form of a resolu
tion by W. W. Nair.an, was enthusi
astically indorsed by the convention.
His resolution reads:
“Whereas the State of Texas, with
its vast area and* rich undeveloped
resources, Is capable of supporting a
much larger population than it has;
and
“Whereas such an increase in pop-
ulation^ would, in our opinion, trans
form our land, now idle, into farms,
OMMifacture raw products into fin-
isned goods and in many ways pro
mote our material prosperity and
bring about our commercial suprem
acy; and
"Whereas we are hopeful that the
war in Europe, which has set adrift
thousands of young farmers and me
chanics, who, trained in the advanced
agricultural and industrial communi
ties of the Old World, will turn to this
country to build anew their lives and
fortunes, will end before our next an
nual convention; Therefore, be It
“Resolved by the Young Men's
Business Leagues of Texas, in meet
ing assembled, That we realize the
tremendous value of such an immi
gration to our State, and that such
measures be adopted by our officers
and directors as in their judgment
will assist in bringing great numbers
of these immigrants within our
borders.”

Can’t Live on $25#00
A Year, Says Heiress
Mrs. Nils Florman, 20, Asks Court
to Allow Her to Draw Large
Sum From Trust Fund.
NEW YORK, July 3.—Although she
will not be 21 years old until next
December, Mrs. Olga V. Florman,
wife of Nils Florman, of No. 777 Mad
ison avenue, finds it impossible to live
on her income of $25,000 a year.
She has applied to the Surrogate's
Court for permission to draw a lump
sum of $25,000 this year from the
principal of a $300,000 trust fund
which her father left for her. He
was Charles Kohler, piano manufac
turer, with an estate of more than
$4,000,000.
He provided in his will that Olea
V. Kohler, now Mrs. Florman, should
have the income from the fund,
which is invested in stock of his*
piano company, until 25, and then re
ceive $100,000 in cash. A similar
amount is to be paid to her on her
thirtieth and thirty-fifth birthdays.
Nils Florman, her husband, once
was the fiance of Miss Helen Stallo,
wealthy daughter of Edmund K. Stal
lo. Later ho was reported engaged to
Katherine Force, sister of Mrs. John
Jacob Astor. This report was denied
In explaining why she needs more
money Mrs. Florman says she pays
the rent for tho Florman apartment
at a cost of $5,000 a year. She like
wise supplied the credit for the fur
nishings. The contract price for the
household goods was $20,000. One-
fourth of this has been paid, she says,
and she still owes a $15,000 balance.

Widow Wins Youth
Jilted by Daughter
SAN FRANCISCO. July 3—Behind
the issuance of a marriagp license to
Roscoe C. Randolph, 28 years old, Butte
County orchardist, and Mrs. Nana E.
Taylor, 50 years old, widow, is the story
of rivalry for the young man’s hand be
tween mother and daughter.
According to Chico reports, Randolph
was a suitor for the hand of Miss Ruby
Taylor, but failed to win her. What
part the mother had in this situation is
not told. But the girl jilted him and he
turned to the mother, who is said to
have inherited a large estate from her
husband. William Henry Taylor, a flour
miller.
Taylor and his wife separated several
years ago and a large sum is said to
have been settled upon her at that time.
He died a few weeks ago In Durham.
FAIRMONT, W. VA., July 3.—Clad
in tights, five young Hebes sporting
in the placid waters of the Monon-
gahela River virtually stampeded the
male population, permanent and
transient, in the business and lower
end of the city. So great was the
rush to see the diving Venuses ttiat
five men were pushed into the river
during the excitement by those in the
rear, who were determined to get a
glimpse.
Business men, clerks, mechanics,
railroad employees, river rats and ev
ery human of the male species who
coul<I crowd on to the bridge and riv
er banks were on hand while the
pretty young women disported them
selves in the river. Apparently ob
livious to the attention they were at
tracting from the crowd, which num
bered probably 1,000, the girls swam
around for fully an hour and then
made their way to a handsome house
boat moored near the other side of
the river. .
Although several of the curious
males obtained boats and attempted
to learn the identity of the fair swim
mers, they refused tc make their ap
pearance after boarding their boat.
Two^nen who went beyond the lim
it placed by the girls found them
selves struggling in the water. Their
canoe was upset by the girls, who
prodded the boat with a long pole.
Cuts 15 Letters From
Name When She Weds
DUQUOIN, ILL., July 3.—Several
weeks ago the St. Louis and Chicago

Bruck and Miss Anna Staigenskaitis-

ceived a letter from Miss Mae Matou-
pakosalouskis. of New Bedford, Mas*.,
congratulating her on the loss of her
long name.
The clerks in the lost postoffice strug
gled with the two names for days in a
vain effort at pronunciation. However,
William J. Pappademanakakoopoulous,
of Kirksville, Mo., got in the game bv
addressing a letter to the firmer Miss
Staigenskaitiskitage, apparently ignor

NUTLEY. N. J.. July 3.—Modem ef

“Lover’s Line” will remain a narrow
path winding between straggling shrub
bery and over an antiquated wooden
bridge. *
Officials sought to build a macadam
road and concrete bridge, but the Nut
ley Arts Club, headed by Earle Stet
son Crawford and backed by all the
young folks of the village, protested
and won.
WASHINGTON, July 3.—There will
be a revolution in the ways and
means of target practice in the
United States navy at a very early
day if it can be brought about by
navy officers and officials who have
the good of the service at heart.
It is asserted that what the navy
needs is more practice in a business
like way, especially practice at long
range, in which Germany and Greit
Britain have shown themselves to be-
unexpectedly expert.
The statements of Representative
Augustus Gardner, of Massachusetts,
giving the confidential communica
tions of'Admiral Fletcher showhig
the need of vast improvement, stirred
up officers and officials. They admit
that the target practice of the navy
has been inefficient, that individual
excellences have been trumpeted As
general conclusions, and that the
United States is a long way behind
the guns and gunnery of England and
Germany.
Submarines Signal.
The point-blank statement was
made by an expert officer that the
United States has not any marks
manship which can compare with tho
certified record of the German navy
and of the English navy. He said:
"The Germans have been making
hits with big-caliber guns at 10,000
yards' range. They have been able to
do/4hIs by a clever svstem of sig
naling between their cruisers and
submarines. That is unknown in our
navy. It is something we have to
learn and quickly.
“The target practice for our fleets
have been at 5,000 to 7,000 yards, and
under the previous administration
there was some very good firing and
a very big average of hits.”
That is all very well as far as It
goes, but it is evident that the 10,-
000-yard range and even 12,000 to
16,000 yard range is the thing we
have to deal with. We have to learn
to shoot accurately, in other words
at an enemy below the horizon. Such
feats have been performed by the
Germans.
Must Be at Long Range.
There is no one in the Navy De
partment in the absence of Secretary
Daniels to answer for him the
charges made by Representative
Gardner.
Navy officers say that target prac
tice must be at the longest possible
range and in all kinds of weather if
the United States navy is expected to
catch up with any of the big nations
now at war. Even among the small
er ships they say that marksmanship
is very poor. They instance report
from San Diego of the practice of trie
destroyers showin" only 22 clean hits
out of a total of 189 shots. This br
ing, they note, took place at less than
a mile and with rapid-fire guns.
Secretary Daniels and his advisory
council are expected to take up the
charges and revelations of Mt. Gard
ner as soon as Secretary Daniels re
turns to the city.

Hog Boom In Texas
Aids Bank Deposits
TEMPLE. TEXAS. July 3.—During
A recent campaign for diversification

that, notwithstanding its unusual ad

last year sent away $613,157 for meat.
H. C. Poe, president of the Temple
State Bank, communicated with
breeders of fine hogs and then an
nounced in a newspaper that he
would distribute 100 hogs'among *he
boys of the county, taking their per
sonal unlndorsed notes, payable out of
the net profits from the pigs.
Before the newspaper was off *.he
firess the printer’s devil made an ap
plication for a .hog. After that the
applications piled ip on Poe until he
was fairly swamped. Poe says that
the deposits in his bank have in
creased $200,000 within 90 davs, or
coincident with the hog distribution.

Fifth—To create an organized
reserfr for each branch of mili

By MILES POINDEXTER.
(Senator from Washington and
Chairman of the Committee on Fx-
penditure in the War Department.)
Not only is it necessary for the
growth of the United States in influ
ence and power that her military and
naval forces be strengthened, but I am
strongly of the opinion that she will
relatively decline in influence among
the powers q<t the world unless this is
done.
I am in favor of legislation that
would provide for a larger standing
army and for an adequate navy, and I
understand by this term an army and
navy at least double the strength of
our present establishments.
In this connection I would say that I
as firmly of the opinion we need an
entiro reorganization of the present
system of the expenditures of funds in
both the army and the navy in order
to get results commensurate with the
amount expanded.
Country Has Been Cheated.
We have been mulcted in extortion
ate sums for armor plate and muni
tions of war of all kinds, aj* well as for
supplies for maintenance of the offi
cers and enlisted men in our present
army and navy.
Munitions of war can be manufac
tured in Government shops at one-
half the prices now paid to private es
tablishments. This applies to armor
plate for the navy, as well as to guns
and shells and othqr equipment.
I think, however, that more impor
tant than a standing army Is the ne
cessity of providing reserve material
of civilians trained in camp life, in the
use of the rifle and In military tactics,
who could readily be formed Into an
efficient army under trained officers In
easfe of neqrfl.
For More Military Schools.
In the same connection, there should
be schools established at various
places in the country by the United
•’States Government for the instruction
and training of the officers of the Na
tional Guard.
Of course, It would not be practica
ble to give them the training that is
given at West Point to officers of^the
regular army, but a different training
in the very essentials of the duties of
an officer in the field could be given to
,them at comparatively small expense.
There are a number of thoroughly
equipped, but unoccupied, army posts
throughout the country which could be
used for this purpose. That at Walla
Walla. Washington, is a conspicuous
example. The training of civilians
referred to could be conducted in small
camps, s&y, of three months’ duration
each summer; and without any com
pulsory requirements there would no
doubt voluntarily gather there hun
dreds of thousands of young men each
summer and for successive summers,

NEW YORK, July 3.—Theatergoers
will remember Annie Abbott, known
as “the little Georgia magnet’’ be
cause of unusual stunts she once per
formed on the stage. Miss Abbott
weighed only ty)5 pounds, and strong
men could not lift her -from the stage
floor unless she willed it so.
She Is no longer “the little Georgia

at the front in France with the British
troops—If he Is still alive.
Whether her husband is living or
dead Mrs. McLeglan does not know
and can not find out. She was at the
Hotel Savoy en route to England to
obtain definite information. The last
Information she had, some time ago,
came from his mother in London. It
said: “Think Sidney has been cap
tured. Father is to gee Lord Noel and
try to stay execution.”
“What all this means I do not know,”
Raid Mrs. McLeglan, who was at the
San Francisco fair when the infor

there I intend to go to the front as a

Taube Type Discarded Soon After

Craft Drove It From Service.
By EDWARD LYELL FOX.
“Two Taubes flew over X. to-day !
and dropped bombs. English flyers j
put up after them, but the Germans
escaped in the clouds.”
In one form or another that brief
dispatch has appeared in the news
papers of the United States for the
last nine months.
I called on a German mother —an ,
apple-cheeked, smiling German moth
er—whose boy was with the army of
the Crown Prince of Prussia.
She read me a letter—one of the
first he had written—the first letter
home of a man who had just fought
the war in the sky. She read aloud:
“Dear Mother—Thank God! After
a veritable Odyssy, to-day at noon I
again reached my division. With
much joy I was greeted on all sides,
for, after a four days’ absence, I waa
given up for lost. Dear little mother,

“Ober-Lieutenant K went along
as observer, and my biplane soon car
ried us to a height of about 800 me

were soon the object of a lively firing,
and several times I felt a well-known
trembling in the machine—a sign that
a shot had hit one of the wings. After
a three-hour flight, we were able to
give our reports to General Herrin-
gen at headquarters. He praised u»
warmly and ordered that we be served
a roast chicken, and he gave us soma
fine Havana cigars.
“As I was again preparing my aero- j
plane ir the afternoon, with the help
of several chauffeurs, who filled tfe/v

the four bullet holes with linen, a
Bavarian officer told me that he would
