The Tribune Fresh Air Fund
The Tribune Fresh Air Fund S. O, S. Means
"Send on Subscriptions!"
SOS.
The other day, when the wirel%ss
call for help for the disabled S-5 was
sent slithering through the ether, or
whatever medium it is that carries
wireless waves, for some strange rea
Bon it was missed by all the regular
wireless stations and caught only by I
a rank outsider.
On September 2, when The Tribune !
Fresh Air Fund sent out it3 S O S !
for $5,000 to pay for the vacations
of 765 "Fresh Airs" then in the coun
try, the call was addressed chiefly to
1,500 regular supporters of the fund
in former years. They hadn't yet sent
their 1920 donations, and it was hoped ?
that they'd pick up the call and has?
ten to help.
Some of them have, but by no means
enough of them to provide the money
needed. Of the $5,000 asked for only
$1,914.10 has .been received so fai in
answer to the SOS. The balance
of $3,085.90 must be obtained before '?
The Tribune Fund can order the wire- ;
less man to withdraw his hand from
the key and cease his clamor for aid.
The regulars have not picked up the
call. JVhat about the outsiders, folks
who have never contributed to The
Tribune Fund before? Aie there any
listening in on the call and wondering
whether their aid would be welcome ?
It would.
And. after all, are there anv outsid
?ifs where th*'welfare of children is
concerned? "Breathes there ? mal with j
soul so dei.d" that ho does not pity t'.*e i
lads and lassie? condemned to life in |
the terrible tenements cf New York?;
Is there any one in New York, or the i
whole United States for lha'3 msttor, j
who wouldn't bring two w.?eks of ro- j
lief and happiness to a needy boy o/ ;
fir? if he could, and knew the *?ray to
o it?
Th? Tribune Fund has already I
brought that two weeks to a multitv.de
cf children o.r the tenements this sum?
mer. And the fcrtnight has been paid
for in a*l cases but about four hundred.
It is to pay*for the relief, the happi?
ness, the health, the inspiration
brought to these four hundred that the
fund asks this last $3,085.90. Any one,
regular or outsider, can make himself
sponsor for one of these fortnights by
send;ng $7 to the fund.
Five hundred of the Tribune Fund's
hoys and girls are to-day enjoying the
last hour3 of what is to them the best
two weeks in the year?250 of the?,
leys, at tho Shepherd Knnpp Farm. 100
of them little mothers at Eunice Hofne,
150 of them small girls at Bethany
Home.
They are the rear guard of the Fresh
Air army of 1920. When they get back
to town to-day, brown and healthy and
keen for the opening of school on Mon?
day, there will be left behind in Fresh
Air land only a few stragglers whose
hosts couldn't bear to give them up
until the last minute, and the active
work of the summer for the Tribune
Fund will be over?all except paying

Mongolia to Open Door
To Trade, Says Gen. Hsu
Commander of Chinese Forces
Promises Equal Opportu?
nities to All Nations
URGA. MONGOLIA, July 25.?"Mon?
golia, restored as an integral part of
the Chinese republic, soon will be
opened to foreign commerce with equal
opportunities to all nations," said Gen?
eral Hsu Shu-chen, commander of
China's frontier defense forces in
Mongolia, to the Associated Press cor?
respondent, an route to Siberia through i
Urga.
It was General Hsu Shu-chen's army
of 10,000 men marching 700 miles
across the Gobi Desert in, the winter
of 191,8-1919 which occupied Urga and
put an end to the political power of
th? Buddhist priests whose leader,
termed "The Living God," then ruled ?
-Mongolia as an autonomous st*Cte.
"All Mongolian-Russian treaties,
granting sepcial privileges to Russians
in Mongolia, have been abrogated,"
continued "Little Hsu," as he is
familiarly called to distinguish him
from President Hsu. "Kiachta, al?
though a Siberian city, is still garri?
soned by Chinese troops because Kol

nese to protect them from the Reds<
and the date of withdrawal has not
yet been decided."

In Mrs. Poole's complaint she named

appeared as a witness for Mrs. Poole
and testified that Mr. Poole and M?S3

Peace Training of
Reserves Important
Part of Army Plan
Tactical Units Composed of
Men Experienced in War
To Be Organized'to Back
Up Rtegnlr/'s ?and Guard
DETROIT, Sept 8.?Peace-time organ?
ization and training of the nation's
organized reserves is an important ele?
ment of the new ?military policy adopt?
ed by the ?General Staff, Majw General
William G. Haan, director of the war
plans division of that body, said to?
night. He addressed the convention
of the American officers of the World
War.
The regalar army of approximately
300,000 officers and men will continue
to be the first line of defense, he said,
and- the National Guard the second
line, to be called apon immediately in
case of national emergency. Behind
..?(io? tueae wiil ivo tne reserves, con?
sisting of enlisted and commissioned
personnel with former war experience
and annual training in as completely
organized tactical units as it is possible
to effect.
Army ?Corpa for Each District
Organization of the reserves will
follow closely the geographical division
of the United States, under the de?
partmental plan. With the entire
continental expanse of the country
forming the "area of the United States
Army," an army corps will be formed
in each of the new districts which has
supplanted the old military depart?
ments. The corps area commander
will be in charge of all troops of the
three classes within his zone. Reserve
officers are to be assigned for annual
training to the posts they woald oc?
cupy under war conditions and thus
will lie trained with th? n.en and
under the superiors with whom they
normally might be expected to serve
in the field.
This system of peace assignment
and training will be followed with of?
ficers and men of the staff Units as
well as of the line, an officer^in the
ordnance reserve going for summer
training to an arsenal or supply depot
within bis .zone.
Functions of Three Branches
The functions of the three military
increments ander the announced policy
are:
Regular Army?To garrison oversea
possessions, coast defenses and other
posts; to provide ?training personnel
tor National Guara and reserves; to
provide necessary administrative
nuclei.
National Guard??To provide in time
of peace "an adequate and effective
force available in minor emergencies
for employment by the states or the
United States; in time of war to pro?
vide "an adequate, balanced and effec?
tive component of the army of the
United States for employment within
the UniCed States or elsewhere."
Organized Reserve.?To provide ar
organized and balanced force which
may be expanded into an adequate wai
component of the United States tc
meet an emergency requiring troops in
excess of regulars and national guard.
"The organized reserve is distinctly a
war force," according to officials of the
department.
The question of command of national
guard brigades and higher units will
be decide?!, the department announced
"after a careful survey of the senti
ment of the military authorities of th?
state in question."

Notices to Tenants to
Vacate Called Illegal
Mayor'? Aid Says Landlords Ar?
Trying to Force Thousands
to Sign Short Term Leases
A warning was issued yesterday by
Arthur J. W. Hilly, chairman of the
Mayor's Committee on Rent Profiteer?
ing, that thousands of tenants ar* be?
ing served with illegal notices to
vacate within thirty days and are being
given the option of signing contracts
for renting on a month to-month basis.
Mr. Hilly said the notices were stamped
in most cases by city marshals with
a view or frightening tenants.
"So far as I can tell an organized
effort is being made to frighten ten?
ants," said Mr. Hilly. "The notices
are mostly on blue paper, and all of
them are written in the same terms,
which indicates they have a common
source. The fact that a city marshal's
stamp is on such a paper gives it no
additional authority. Tenants ffb not
have to si<gn. My advice is to pay no
attention to the notices.
"Many landlords are trying to ob?
tain month-to-month leases with their'1
tenants in the belief that the present
rent laws will be repealed by the
Legislature when it meets in special
session on September 20."

British Miners to Meet
With Minister of Labor
Will Discuss Threatened Strike;
Claims Indorsed by Trades
Union Congress
PORTSMOUTH, England, Sept. 8.?
Thte executive committee of the Miners'
Federation, which is attenaing the
Trades Union Congress here, has de?
cided to accept the invitation of Sir
Robert Home, Minister of Labo?, to
meet him regarding the threatened coal
strike. The committee will go to Lon?
don Thursday.
In an address to the congress on the
subject of the miners' demands, J. H.
Thomas, general secretary of the rail
waymen's organization, pointed out
that the railwaymen and the transport
workers had decided unanimously to
support the miners in their claims,
which are regarded as just and r?son~
able. w
The congress unanimously adopted
a resolution expressing the opinion that
the coal miners' claims were reasonable !
and just, and should be conceded. The
congress also passed a resolution urg?
ing that the trades union movement
concentrate its efforts on reducing the
cost of living and instructing its par?
liamentary committee to take immedi-'
ate steps to prepare a policy, which
would include nationalization, and re?
fer it to a ballot of the members of
all the affiliated unions.
After a spirited debate the congress
adopted a resolution protesting against
the government's refusal to allow
Soviet delegates to land in this coun?
try.
Bingham Heirs Appeal
Kentucky Tax Rulings
Beneficiaries of Flagler Wid?
ow's Will Carry Inheritance
Case to Circuit Court
Special Dispatch to Thr Trif^nn
LEXINGTON, Ky., Sept. 8.?Several ?
beneficiaries under the will of the late
Mrs. R. M. Binfr'narn filed an appeal in
the Circuit Court at Louisville to-day
from a lower court judgment awarding
$2,606,352 inheritance tax to the State
of Kentucky. ? i
The petitioners include William
Kenan jr., Mrs. Jessie K. Wise and Miss ?
Sarah Kenan, all of New York. Each I
inherited .$20.000,000 under the will of:
Mrs. Bingham, who was the widow of
Henry M. Flagler, of New York, Stand- :
ard Oil magnate, when she married |
Bingham. Each of the three heirs was'
ordered to pay $800,0*00 inheritance tax.
Mrs. Bingham died in Kentucky, in
July, 1917. Mrs. Louise Wise Lewis, of
New York, who inherited about $5,000,
000 under the will, has paid $176,000
and taken no appeal. The Kenans and
Mrs. Wise already have paid a total of
$850,000 in taxes to the state, and say
this is all they owe, as the "Flagler j
trust" created by the wiil is not sub
ject to tax in Kentucky.
The beneficiaries are joined in the |
ficht by the First Presbyterian Church
of Miami, F!a.; the University of North ?
Carolina and the Flakier Hospital, at |
St. Augr.3tine, Fla. About forty other ;
small beneficiaries have paid the state

Condemn?ed M:in Refuses to
Take Comrades' Fresh Air Time j
OSSINING, Sept. 8.?Walter Bojan- |
owski, whose execution to-morrow night
owaki, who will be executed to-morrow j
night unless Governor Smith grants
him a reprieve, declined several offers
of other deathhouse inmates to-day to
enjoy their exercise in the sunshine,
saying that he could not deprive them
of this brief pleasure.
Of late it has been the custom* to
sacrifice their daily exercise so that a
man about to be executed could remain
longer in the yard.
Ordinarily a condemned man may re?
main out of doors twenty minutes in
each twenty-four hoars. By pooling
their allotted time for the man about
to die he has been able to remain in the
sunshine for at least two hours a day.

Avsenal Alcohol Death
List Increased to Nine
Department of Justice and
Army Begin inquiries to Learn
Where Liquor Came From
Special Dispatch to Thti Tribune
EDGEWOOD, Md., Sept. 8.?Five
more men died to-dav in the Edgewood
Ars?nal Hospital from drinking a con?
coction believed to be wood alcohol, in?
creasing the death roll to nine since
thirteen arsenal employees became ill
on returning from a Labor Day cele?
bration. Four of the men are still in a
serious condition.
An investigation to ascertain whero
the men obtained the liquid and the
nature of its contents was begun this
afternoon by the Department of Jus?
tice. At the sam? time Brigadier Gen?
eral Amos A. Fries, head of tho chemi?
cal warfare deportment of the Ord?
nance Bureau, and officers attached to
the arsenal began an inquiry on tho
part of the army.
The Department of Justice investiga?
tion was Ordered by Howard M.
Boteler, the local chief, who said his
department is interested in the case
from the standpoint of tho selective
draft service act, which provides penal?
ties for carrying intoxicating liquor?
for sale or distribution within five
miles of an army or navy cantonment.
General Fries said it we s possible
that the men could have obtained the
wood alcohol from one of the two
tanks in the arsenal that contain about
10,000 gallons of the liquid. He ?aid it
is also possible that they could have
taken and consumed some of the grain
alcohol stored there that had been
rendered "almost deadly" by chlorac
tochenone, an ingredient of poison
mustard gas.
