This is a big countr/, grow ing fast A gigantic bridge soon to be built across the Hud Bon River? at New York City will have one single span 3,000 feet long. Four steel ffM??t e<*CR twelve feet in circuwference, will hold ? weight of eight hundred mil lion pounds. Twenty-one years ago the bridge was planned big enough for forty million human beings ? year. Now, to last until 1940, it must have a capacity of two hundred millions, withoit count ing a hundred millions using the tunnels now under the river. One deck of the bridge will carry twelve railroad tracks. Above it, there will be an auto mobile road, planned to accom modate twenty - five million vehicles a year. Five times as big as the first Brooklyn bridge, with ten times the steel tonnage of the gigantic bridge at Quebec, this new en? gineerlng feat shows what men can do and how nation? grow. A midshipman at Annapolis appears on crutches to tell, re luctantly, of brutal, cowardly treatment inflicted upon him in hazing. President Harding should ask officers in charge of that institution how long they ?ropose to allow cowardice com ined with cruelty to remain in the education of American naval officers. "If you want a gocd brain, educate your great-great-grand father.'? That's an old saying. The m^ern savia? ??.. if you want the children of the natl-m to have good teeth, see that the mothers are properly fed. An army travels on its stom ach, according to Napoleon. An individual travels on his teeth. Without them no good health. Without good health, no acconti ?ilishment. Without well and ntelligently fed mothers, no food teeth for the children.. hat ought to interest the Gov ernment as much as the proper ration for a lady swine in the gestation period. , - But it doesn't If you suggest that government in this generation ahould protect the mothers for the sake of generations un born you hear howls from a grand assortment of fools. "American marines enter Vladivostok." They find the Russian port plunged in dark ness, ravaged by the "White Army" that seeks to bring back the czars. Will somebody kindly tell what American ma rines are doing in Vladivostok? What business have we there? Wise gentlemen in Washing ton ought to know by this time that they can't collect from Lenin and Trotzky the millions 9 that American bankers stupidly lent to the Czar. Why "American marines in Vladivostok?" It will be said our marines must protect our consulate. If We refuse to do business with a nation, why have a consulate? Better take the consul aboard a ?hip, leaving White Guards, Red Guards, Japanese and interested European nations to fight it out. The Earl of Derby, with the heavy, "handsome" face of a first-class London hansom cab driver of the old times, is spoken of as possible successor to Lloyd George. The gentleman, praised as a typical Englishman, is exactly that, of a certain kind. Therefore he is typically unfit for the work that took all the power I of ? great statesman, and that will become increasingly difficult as the next war and the new European alliances take shape. A British bulldog is a very fine thing in the dog show or in the House of Lords, but is not the right animal for THINKING.

TO APOLOGIZE TO ENGLAND FOfiSHIP SEM Canadian Schooner Emerald, Captured Off Shore, Leads To Diplomatic Clash. By W. H. ATKINS. latw-Mtloiial ???ws tierrk-e Staff t .rr..polxl.nl American prohibition agenta "blundered' when they seized the Canadian schooner Emerald with a liquor cargo off the New Jersey coast?an act for which thia Gov ernment must now express "re gret'* to the British G>vemment, it was disclosed officially at the Treasury Department today. For the first time since the dry era began, the State Department will be called upon to apologize to a foreign government for over zealous enforcement of United States liquor laws. Report Being Made. Legal authorities of the Treasury Department today began prepara tions of the report on the Emerald case to be submitted to Secretary of State Hughes. The report will state that the Emerald did not establish contact with the Jersey coast and that members of the crew did not land. Counsel for Prohibition Commis sioner Haynes said the opinion ex isted among enforcement officials that the Kmerald was planning to land liquor in th? United States, but there waa no proof that smuggling had taken place. Breach of Agreement. The official inquiry today estab lished to the satisfaction of Secre tary of the Treasurer M? lion that when the dry navy chaser Hahn ventured eight miles off shore, trained her guns upon the liquor laden Emerald, and brought her Into the port of New York, Ameri can officers committed a serious breach of International comity and agreement. The British government's protest, the first of Its kind lodged with the ?tate Department, challenging the right of this Government to seise the British boat, Is now held by the Treasury Department to have been well taken. The British embassy will receive a response to its protest very promptly, because there now is no question a? to the facts or circum stances, surrounding the seizure. These were made very explicit to day in a special report received by the customs service of the Treas ury, from the prohibition officials who directed the operations of the dry cruiser Hahn. To Make Restitution The State Department will lit called upon to make restitution to the owners of the Canadian schooner. At the Department of Justice today, It was declared that District Attorney Hayward, at New York, will take Immediate steps to restore to the Canadian ship own ers, the 1,000 cases of whiskey which was aboard the Emerald, at the time she was towed into the port, and further steps will be taken In order to compensate the owners against other losses sus tained. In a report of the "Incident" to Secretary Mellon, prohibition offi cials lay stress upon the "moral obligation" which dry officers had In seizing the Emerald. The frank statement Is made, however, that the dry navy boat Hahn violated Secretary Mellon'? Instructions and ran counter to President Hardlng's warning to dry officials that the dry navy boats should not venture beyond the three-mile limit for pur pose of seizure, unless foreign ves sels were shown conclusively to have established communication with shore "hy means of their own boats or rmmt." Those In s true Uons are (o be observed rigidly. jOcatt?ma 'am Paga a. Column ?J 40 Year Old Hen To Get New Gland And Youth SOUTH STIRLING, N.

WHY I GO TO CHURCH By CHARLES J. COLUMBUS, Secretary Merchant? and Manufacturera Association. Because I believe that church attendance makes me a better man. It provides an inspiration to the finer things of life. The more frequently I go to church the more I act for tbe honor and glory of God. Going to church prevents me from fooling myself into the belief that I am answerable to none but myself. The great est mistake that any man can make is to imagine himself a finished product either in material or spiritual things. We are answerable to God for all of our acts. Going to church not only make? me realire that but the better fits me to give an account of my stewardship in th? world to come. ATLEEOS Declares He Puts Case in Peo ple's Hands and I? Given Ovation. . International Newa Servie?. LEEDS, England, Oct. 21.? David Lloyd George, former pre mier, was today elected president of the National Liberal Council and former Colonial Secretary Winston Churchill was elected vice-presi dent. This makes Mr. Lloyd George leader of the Liberal party. "It is for the people to decide whether a political party or the nation is to come first," declared former Premier Lloyd George in a political speech here today, the first since he retired from the steward ship of the empire. Ovation to Kx Premier. A tremendous ovation was given to the Welsh " statesman " as he as cended the platform. Men shouted themselves hoarse, and the air waa filled with flying hats and handker chiefs. The former premier wa? buoyant, happy, snd smiling. The air of battle waa In hla nostrils. Apparently It la his favorite scent. "I stand .by the people," said Mr. Lloyd Oeorge In opening his ad dress. "I put my record in the hands of the people. "The banner of party strife has been raiaed. I welcome the fight. But the issue will be decided by the people In g?rerai election. "The combination (coalition) which won victory ln the war haa been broken up. It was broken because one party thought it did not get enough out of it." The combination the premier re ferred to was the coalition govern ment composed originally of Liberals, Unionists, and Laborites. Eventually the Laborites retired; then the Unionista withdrew, bringing about the resignation of the Lloyd Oeorge government. Predicts Disarmament. The former premier claimed credit for establishing the League of Na tions, and predicted general disar mament soon. "The treaty of Versailles," con tinued Lloyd George, "was to become the charter of liberty of tens of mil lions of people. Although we have not rid Europe of the 'Armaments of Verdun,' the \r**ty is the first step ln that direction." It Is assumed that the reference to Verdun was based upon the historical fact that it was one of the greatest battles of the great war. The Oerman concentration of artillery In that offensive, was up to that time, the greatest ever known. Mr. Lloyd Oeorge outlined first his war, then his peace record, humorously adding: "They say that I am first rate tn a row but no good ln peace." As to the blessings of peace the former premier said: "The terms of the peace rid Central Europe of armaments and conscription. Other evils will go the same way. Today the great army tl>a' Germany once had lies in the dirt." Britain's Debt. The former premier said that the national debt ia now eight billions of pounda sterling. "We have recaptured the money market of the world," continued the premier. "British credit la better today than it ever was be fore. We are beginning to look the American dollar in the face on equal terms again. We are the only European country that haa been able to balance Its budget." "The breaking up of the Coalition government was a crime against tho nation." declared the former premier. "But." he continue, "A. Bonar Law is still a -?V<jfid of mine." Mr. Law, a Unionist, is the new premier. > In speaking of the achievements of his administration Mr. Lloyd Oeorge said: "Earl Balfour's success at Wash ington (In the Washington confer ence on limitation of armaments) saved the nation from armament competition and crushing taxation. We are at peace with Ireland. In stead of getting the fist we now get the handshake from the IrlaH." Attacks Tories. The.former premier charged that 1 hia democracy and progressiven??-* caused the wealthy Tories to lead the revolt againat him.

Oct. 21.?The trial of Midshipman Bruce H. Robin son, of the first class, charged with hazing Midshipman William H. Mc Gregor, of the fourth class, was com pleted before the court-martial at the I Naval Academy this morning, and| the finding of the court will not bei announced until there is action upon I it by the reviewing authority. The only point at issue was the de-| gr?e of hazing, as Robinson had ad-| mltted that he caused McOregor to do certain physical stunts though he had no authority to do so. He claim ed, however, that he had nothing to do with the third infliction, which was Just previous to the physical col lapse of the under classman. Lieut. Comdr. J. A. Murphy. Judge advocate, urged that the court find the charge and specification of "cruel hazing" to be proved. He claimed that the admitted acts of Robinson were enough to Justify It, and that every portion of the hazing led to the final result. Lieut. H. D. Clarke, counsel for Robinson, argued that the only haz ing done by Robinson was light In Its nature, and could not have had the effect of exhausting McOregor and making it necessary for him to go to the hospital. The only Important witness for the prosecution was Midshipman Edwin R. Ponvert, of Brooklyn. His testimony brought in the names of several upper classmen who had not been mentioned In the proceedings previously. Ponvert told a story of the inci dents In Rohinson's room which up held In most essentials what Mc Gregor had said. He placed the length of time during which the various exercises were required as longer than did McOregor. Judg? Advocate .T. A. Murphy called Midshipmen Nevett Steele. of Philadelphia, and Calvin H. Mann, of Colorado, who had been men tioned by Ponvert as present dur ing the hazing and asked them If they wore there. They both de clined to answer on the ground that such answers might tend to Incriminate themselves. BODY OF MAN IS FOUND " WITH SIX BULLET WOUNDS BALTIMORE.

Hall, wealthy rector of the fashionable Protestant Episcopal Church of St. John the Evange list, and his beautiful choir leader, Mrs. James Mills, may be asked of the Somerset county grand jury Monday, it was lean.'d today. Although the county au thorities would not admit it, there is authoritative ground for belief that the grand jury begun contemplation of the Hall-Mills murder yesterday. Another Woman In Case. Another woman has been brought Into the case. So far her identity ha? not been revealed, but it is de olared that she has made affidavit to Prosecuting Attorney B?*eki-aan that ahe was an eyewitness of the murder and can Identify the persons who committed It. Thi* woman, it It understood, has not been publicly mentioned in connection with the crime up to the present time. There was general expectancy to day that two arrests would be made at once?a man and woman. From a reliable souce it was leaned that detectives have concentrated thtlr efforts toward piling up evidence against a woman. Her indictment was expected to follow the appear ance before the grand Jury of the new woman witness, who ?Iain-is to have witnessed the murder from a clump of shrubbery where she was hidden. Saw Attack, She Says. This woman is sail to have seen Dr. Hall and Mrs. Mills approached and attacked by a man and woman.

While ad mitting that she he ird and saw shot? fired it ia not known If she has testi fied to seeing Mrs. Mills' throat cut. Nor is it known If the witness saw the killer snatch ten or a dozen of Dr. Hall's love letters from the pock et of Mrs. Mills' scarf, tear some of them to pieces and then ??catter them between the two bodies. The woman who gives the Infor mation la said to be a member of a good family in New Brunswick. She moves in the best social circles, and is highly respected.

Further efforts were made today to find the old fashioned, hign body automobile in which the bodies are said to have been borne here. This car figures in the suppoaltlon that the murder was committed in a barn on a farm adjacent to the Phillips farm. In view of the secrecy surrounfl ?

Dr. Hall. Airs. Hall, howve;?, has never been asked dlrectlv whether she committed the double murder." Member of Choir Vanishes. Ralph V. M. Oorsllne, member of the vestry of Dr. Halls church, and four other persons were said to have been notified that the Somerset county authorities wished to Inter view them this afternoon. Efforts to find Miss ?Catherine Iln st ?? II. a member of the. choir of the Church of St. John the Evan gelist, who was with Cm siine In his automobile on the night of the mur der, were futile today. She was not at her home. Her absence led to rumors that she may have been, the woman who Is aaid to have wit nessed the double murder.
