LESSON 'William T. Ellis Feature in State Journal Tomorrow. Tomorrow, on the editorial page, the readers of the State Journal will find the weekly International Sunday school lesson, written by William T. Ellis. These lessons have been a reg ular feature in the State Journal for many years, and have been used by Sunday school teachers and pupils in all parts of Kansas. The lessons ap peared formerly in Saturday editions, but readers asked for more time to study the explanation of the text and they were advanced to Friday. In all probability there will be no church services in Topeka Sunday, due- to the influenza epidemic. The Ellis lesson should be a more valuable feature now that Sunday school pupils and teachers find it necessary to fol low out their lessons within the home.

Clarjk, city health officer, placed an order, to take effect at once, permitting stores to remain open according to the old schedules. Under the new ordert busip ness houses may now assume a-pracv tically normal status. X, The order Issued this morning is aa follows: The following modifications of the closing orders Issued November 29 is hereby issued and ordered into effect: Thflt portion of the closing orders' re--quiring the closing of all stores except grocery stores, drugstores, retail bakerk' and butcher shops at 4:80 o'clock, and the closing of grocery stores, retail bakeries and butcher shops at 5::0 o'clock la hereby repealed, permitting stores to oien and close at tsetr former hours. All stores must be well ventilated at all times. In all stores the rule limiting the number of persous, excepting en..j!oyes, to one per bou for each hundred square feet of floor space on the first floor and one additional person for each three bnnilred square feet e xioor space on ocner uoors is couunueu lu effect.

The new order, however, retains tha feature of one person to 100 square, feet of floor space, which means, act cording to Doctor Clark, that in a store 25 by 100 feet twenty-fivt cus tomers would be permitted at one ftime. or in a store 50 by 150 feet there store 2a by 100 feet twenty-five cus- persona at one time. The stores will also be allowed to remain open Saturday night of this week. However, a number of inspec tors will be on duty up and down the avenue keeping track of the number of persons who are' present in a store at one lime. No change will as yet be made In the schedule now in force, regulating the hour of arrival and densrturn of rthe clerks in the Santa Fe offices. At present they arrive and depart in groups of approximately 25 per cent at 15-mlnute intervals. This schedule will be maintained at least for th present-- Only 35 New Cases. The report up to 2:30 o'clock todav in the office of the public health de partment Is indicative of some defin ite improvement in conditions in) the city. The number of new cases to taled 25, the smallest number re ceived up to the same hour, for a number of days. Twenty-four houses were reported released. This nroba- bly means that the actual number of cases released is considerably larger. According to Dr. H. L. Clark, unless the results shown on this" afternoon's report should develop a considerable increase, conditions may be regarded as showing a decided change for the Detter. Weather May Start More. There is a chance, however, that the cold, wet disagreeable weather may result in colds and in further spreading of the epidemic. In the cases of persons with a bad cold, there ia considerable danger of the disease developing into pneumonia. Every one should be careful to keep their feet warm and dry. 50 Cases Wednesday. Wednesday 56 new cases of Influ enza were, reported. Releases num bered 77. This means that approxi mately 120 persons are recovered irum me aisease. rwo deaths were reported Wednesday. They were. Charles J. Taylor, a Harvey eating nuuse employe,' wno died at a local hospital, and Miss Cordia luth, of 721 East Sixth street. According to Commissioner Porter, the house quarantine regulations will not be changed at all unless it is to make them more stringent. Judging irom results in otner towns, it would seem that the quarantine is one of the most effective measures that has been adopted In the attempt to eradi cate the disease. Porter says that altho it is impossible to place guards around the city to see that the quar amine rules are followed strictly, the neignoors or .families who are not BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS, Paris, Dec. i2. The peace machin ery is at a standstill, pending arrival of President Wilson. Even informal preliminary confer ences have been abandoned until the American executive can be heard per sonally. Newspapers of all shades of politi cal affiliation agree that Wilson's in fluence will be enormous. Little ia be ing published at present regarding the peace congress -itself, but columns are being devoted i to President Wilson, his principles and his attitude. No FMctlon Ahead. Affidavits Still in Hands of the County Attorney. Both Mayor J. E. House, on behalf of the police department, and Sheriff Hugh Larimer asserted today that so for as they could learn from investi gations of the matter the alleged "pro tection" in the A. A. Saum case was mythical. "I made an investigation of the case Wednesday and I am convinced that none of the police were involved In the deal so far as protection goes," said Mayor House. He admitted the possibility that some officer migm place, mus State of Kansas. Executive Depart ment, Governor's Office. While, representatives of the great nations lately in' the deadly throes of actual war, are gatheriiig around the peace table. It is tslven to the people of America to show that it was the high ideals of democracy and the love of humanity, which led them into war, and not emotionalism nor merely, hatred of an arrc-- -rt Impudent foe. As we fought for the sake of hu manity we must show no diminished zeal and fervor, now that the storm of passion has passed, in our tender ministrations to those who bore the burden of the battle, to their families and dependents, to the stricken people of Europe and to our own people who are undertaking the gigantic task of rebuilding a world. Buffering and sorrow do not cease with the declara tion of peace. The aftermath of war carries its woes only less than those of war itself. To alleviate these woes, to smooth the way of soldiers and sailors read justing themselves to civil life, to help the civil population at home and abroad most quickly regain and estab lish normal conditions of life.

Posters have been circulated by the laborites and Socialists appealing to the people to welcome him as an ad vocate of their particular brand of principles. The Temps objects to this attitude on the ground that Wilson is the guest of all France. "He is the guest of no party, no fac tion, no man," the newspaper said, "As and liberty who has touched the heart of all humanity, he is the guest of France. It would signally reduce the importance cf his role and risk compromising influences if he were represented as the champion of any subsidiary cause.

John Lester, of Tutwiler, Miss., claiming to be the first American prisoner of the Ger mans in the Toul sector, having been captured in a raid early in November, 1917, reached London last night under care of the American Red Cross. t Lester said he had a hard time In the hands of the Germans for four months after his capture. He was sent from place to place and never given a decent meal, finally reaching the camp at Tuchel, where thousands of Russian prisoners were dying daily of starvation. A quantity of American Red Cross parcels began to reach the camp shortly afterward, however, and from that time on he never needed to eat a single ounce of the German rations. On the contrary, said Lester, he was able from the surplus received to relieve some of his famished Rus sian comrades. London, Dec. 12.

Wilkes, actftig assistant surgeon of the United States public health service, ith rank of lieutenant, who came to Kansas City today to take charge of the campaign against the influenza epidemic, says the ban on business is a failure againsXthe flu epidemic. "The general ban is not necessary by any means," he continued, "nor Is It necessary to hamper the business life of the city while conducting a health campaign. "Most effective health campaigns have been conducted in other cities without a-y sort.-of ban. That is the first thing called for by excitable per sons, but experience has proved it a failure' Lieutenant Wilkes made a brief study of health reports and declared there was prima facie evidence of the f .11 .re of physicians to report cases. "The de..th rate is too high in com parison with the number of cases," he pointed out, "and that Is proof positive that physicians are lax in making re ports. Such a situation must be over come by a rigid upbraiding of physi c: ns and urging them to make re ports immediately. "The home quarantine is the suc cessful means of combating the dis ease. Additional inspectors must be added 'to the force and great attention given to enforcing strictly the quar antine of the individual."

Values ran up as much as seven cents a bushel over yesterday's finish. The market opened very active with a wide range of prices and fluctuated with extreme rapidity. In the May option where the volume of business was largest, the market rose to $1.37 as against $120 to $130 at Wed nesday's finish. Radical changes made in the gov ernment figures took, the trade by surprise, as the final official total ap peared to bring the crop down be low even domestic requirements, l.ot to mentioned increased foreign needs. That the wheat crop is the second largest on record and the oats crop the third largest failed to act as an offset for the shortage in corn. Ex treme figures, however, were reached during the excitement at the opening of the day's business and a moderate reaction from the. top took place within the initial half hour. LOSE WAR JOBS Thousands of TVomen in Ger many Are Out of Work. No Food Obtainable and They Join Bolshevik!.:- Berlin. Dec 11 (delayed). Thou sands of women, facing starvation thru the loss of their, war jobs, are adding to the perils of Bolshevism In Germany. The women munitions workers, whoi are rapidly being demobilized, are unable to find employment, as practi cally all factories are idle thru lack of raw materials. Added to their ranks are other thousands who have been engaged in similar occupations. Some have obtained employment on farms, but the great majority face a serious situation. The Spartacus group has seized the opportunity to augment their ranks with these women, hoping not only to obtain their political support, but to influence other men thru them. Twenty-one million women are said to bo eligible to vote for representa tives in the national assembly. 1!: was estimated today that there are more than 200.000 illegitimate children in Germany as a result of war conditions. END CONSCRIPT ARMY Uoyd George Talks of Future War and Way To Keep Out. London, Dec. '12. "If you want peace, you want a permanent peace' said Premier Lloyd George today. "If you want to prevent the horrors of war being repeated you must put an end to conscript armies on the con tinent of Europe." Mr. Lloyd George, who was speak ing at Bristol today, said that con scription was introduced in Great Brit ain to meet a great emergency and that when the emergency was passed the need which caused the passage of the act would lapse and there w-s no immediate intention to renew it. Whether some kind of conscription would be required In the future, he added, would depend entirely upon the peace terms. "The navy is a defensive weapon and not an offensive one," the premier declared, "and that is why we cannot mean to give it up." Referring to the question of an in demnity, Mr. Lloyd George said: "It is indispensable that a person who is in the wrong and has lost should pay more than a person who has been declared in the right and has won."

MeAdoo's Plan Will Be Taken Up at Once In Congress. Washington,. Dec 12. Eventual government ownership would result from -Director General MeAdoo's plan for a five-year extension of federal railroad operation, according to belief In the capital today. MeAdoo's plan, revealed in a' letter to Senator Smith. South Carolina, and Representative Sims, is endorsed by President Wilson. It contemplates testing government control for five years after peace is declared. Either this should be done, he says, or the roads should be given back to private control as quickly as possible. McAdoo pointed out financial read justment and conflicts between state and federal jurisdiction make it dif ficult to continue the government con trol for only a brief time, and still do justice to the companies themselves. The five-year period, he holds, would permit of proper financing without the present limitations and would give the nation what he says it is entitled to a fair test of such control under normal conditions. .Experts on railroads declare his system, operating in a world now pos sessed by broader socialized views than ever before would lean to government ownership. These authorities say government operation was not prop erly demonstrated in war times, for then costs went by the board sacri ficed for speed and other considera tions. Congress will take up the matter at once, probably first in committees. PRAISE FOR SAILORS Xaval Authority Speaks In High Terms of Their Work. Iondon, Dec. 12.- Archibald S. Hurd, the naval authority, pays a glowing' tribute to the admirable seamanship of the American steamers in the course of an article written for the Daily Telegraph, in which he dis closes details of the remarkable part the American navy took in operations in European waters. He says the service of the American points to a survival of the sea instinct in America. Continuing, he says: x "Ask any British naval officer what' he thinks of the aid given by Ameri can seamen and you will learn that it came just at a moment when the British, crews, after a winter of J rfnuou,s. and, ?hauttng "work, were icunb me on u in. luciuciiiaii bite arrival of the Americans permitted the organization of the. convoy system as It could not otherwise have reen or ganized."

Germany made a systematic canvass of French prisoners of' war in an ef fort to find men who wpuld plead the cause of New Germany in France, ac cording to statements made by sol diers who have returned from enemy prison camps. This work began late in October, but the efforts of the Ger mans were redoubled early in Novem ber, it is said. The French prisoners were told that the German Socialists wished nothing more than -to live on. friendly terms with their French comrades. German agents said they wanted to get in touch with French deputies to an nounce the complete triumph of So cialistic ideas In Germany and to con vince them of the necessity of clearing up difficulties between the two coua tries, the prisoners say.

BLACK TAN WHITE RED BROWN SAVED THE LIVES Bed Cross Packages Provided Food for Prisoners. Prevented Starring, JSays One Yank Trooper Now. London, Sec. 13. American Red Cross parcels saved American prison ers from starvation, said John Paul. of Brooklyn, one of the hundred and twenty Americans of the Twenty seventh division (New York), cap tured south of Cambral in October. The Americans have just arrived in England from Blumen prison. For the most part, the prisoners declare, they were fairly well treated by the Germans. They were released on the night following signing of the armi stice. "There was no systematized cruelty while we were in Blumen," said Paul today. "Some of the sentries allowed us to swap soap with them for food. Others struck us with their rifles. however, when we tried to get food in exchange for toilet articles. Our daily menu consisted of two slices of bread with soup. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were served in tin basins, which we also used to wash our faces. "If it hadn't been for the Red Cross parcels we would have starved. The night the armistice was signed, all sentries at the prison camp deserted tneir post when word or the cessa tion of hostilities reached them. "We Americans went out to the town, where we met the sentries who treated us to beer and smokes. The next day we attempted to board a train for Hol land, but were stopped by an officer who told us to go back to the camp. A German sergeant interfered, telling the officer to beat it and saying to us: 'I'll see you aboard the train.' He did and we went direct to Holland, and secured transportation to Eng land." "Fool, I knew all about you: you're from New York, and we have been waiting for a chance to go against New Yorkers," said -a German officer to Jake Schwarts of Brooklyn, when the latter refused to answer questions. Yes," countered Schwarts, "and now you're against us, we're afraid you'll run so fast we won't be able to catch you." The officer struck the American again, but later apologized, saying: r oe friends; I have been In New York and want to go there when ine war is over. "Yes; maybe," was Schwarts" retort. KANSAN'S WAR RECORD Brig. Gen. Harbord, Iyon, County, Cited by French for Bravery. Among the citations in the French official Journal of December 8 is the Fourth American brigade under Brigadier General Harbord, at one time a Lyon county, Kansas boy. The brigade comprises the Fifth regiment of Marines under Col. Wendell C. Neville; the Sixth Marines under CoL Albertus A. Catlin, and the Sixth ma chine gun battalion under Major Ed ward B. Cole. The citation says the brigade in full battle array was thrown in on a front which the enemy was attacking vio lently and at once proved Itself a unit of the finest quality. It crushed the enemy attack on an Important point of the position and then undertook a series of offensive operations. .During these operations," says the citation, "thanks to the brilliant cour age, valor, dash and tenacity of its men, wno reiusea to De disheartened by fatigue or losses; thanks to the activity and energy of officers and thanks to the personal action of Brigadier General Harbord, the ef forts of the brigade were crowned with success, realizing after twelve days of incessant struggle, an important ad vance over the most difficult of terrain and the capture of two supp6rt points of the highest importance, Bouresches village and the fortified wood of Bel- leau. The citation Is a confirmation by the French government of the spirit and courage with which the American soldiers are credited by its civilian population. There is no effort on the part of the French to belittle the fact that the Americans' victory at Chateau Thierry and Belleau wood was the turning point in the war. Brigadier General Harbord was born in Illinois fifty-one years ago, but Kansas claims him by right of rearing and education. His parents moved to Kansas, locating on a farm near Emporia, when he was a small boy. He graduated from the Kansas State Agricultural college in 1S86, and soon afterward enlisted as a private in the United States army. He has steadily advanced from a private to brigadier general, and has the honor of being in command of the unit of the American army which stopped the Germans on their march to Paris.

PRAISE TO BAKERS y Kansara Cited for Co-operation With Food Administration. Wichita. Kan.. Dec. 12. Kansas bakers who 'hot only helped win the war by voluntarily observing all wheat saving rules, but who also kept other bakers loyal, were given great praise in a report filed today with Federal Food Administrator Innes by A. W. Smith supervisor of the baking division of the United States food ad ministration for Kansas. "Of Darticuiar note has been the apart played by officers and district captains of the Kansas Dankers serv ice committee." says the report. "To this organization in a large degree was intrusted the responsibility of policing the industry. State cnairman tr. i. Jordan of Topeka has given of his time and influence without stint and has been one of the great assets of our organizations. "District Captains Christian Kopp of Kansas City, J. M. Burns of Inde pendence, Paul B. Sutorins of Wichita, E. A. Firner of Topeka, A. J. Cripe of Garnett and Lieut. George Biles of Pittsburg have all made long trips of inspection In their own automobiles without one cent of remuneration for their time or expenses. These men, with the other Captains William A. Baker of Hutchinson, J. V. Ostberg of Salina, J. W. Shellhaus of Junction City and E. F. Hohnbaum of Hiawatha have all made lSng trips at their own expenses to attend conferences called by the food administration. "The sound advice and fair minded counsel of Brayton Campbell of Wichita have been almost indispen sable to our baking division. These examples typify the attitude of bakers in general, and it Is needless to say the memory of our experiences with bakers of Kansas will be full of pleas ant associations."

THE FIGHT IS ON Congress Takes Up Bill for Owning the Wireless. Means a Battle- Royal for a Little While. Washington, Dec 12. The much discussed government wireless owner ship fight started in congress today. The first skirmish in the battle that is expected to last thru the remainder of this congress and the life of the next, comes on a bill to give the gov ernment ownership and control of the wireless systems of the country. Secretary of the Navy Daniels and Captain Todd, chief of the radio naval service, are to come before the com mittee to explain fully their reasons for requesting introduction of the measure which was fathered' by Rep resentative Alexander of Missouri, chairman of the merchant marine committee CaU Marconi In. Officials of the Marconi company and others interested in keeping the wireless in private hands will be called tomorrow. While opponents "of government OwneWhlp will undoubtedly make a show of trying to kill the bill in com mittee, they are known to be eager to get it before the house as a test of strength" on the whole ownership Question. The wireless was the first means of communication taken over by the gov ernment after the outbreak of the war, and both Secretary Daniels and Secretary Baker have declared there Is a greater necessity for government control of these facilities than either inland wires or cables. .Then Take It All. With these facts In hand, advocates of government ownership say they may as well quit now if they can not keep the radio in government hands. If they win out, it will encourage them to try the telegraph, telephone lines and cables, and finally the railroads. Say He Was Insane. Chicago, Dec. 12.

Tbat was an absolute mone- tary loss to tbis country. Now it is re- ported that all the steamship lines are i flooded with applications for accom I modations, indicating; that the rush to Europe will be many times that of the past, if the accommodations can be had. It is not at all unlikely that j American tourists will be spending; a iumiun uoii&ra m, year in .curope wnen they get a chance. The only way we can get the money back is to produce goods to sell to European purchasers, j In other words, we shall work to pro I duce goods to pay for the entertaln I ment of our tourists. It is too bad that i more people cannot appreciate the 'j beauties and advantages of tourist I travel at home. Btu to take another view of it, Europe needs the money. j It is reported that the resignation of McAdoo continues to be the sub 5 ject of comment in official Washlng J ton. It is doubted by many that he was truly actuated by a desire to re j plenish his depleted fortunes. It is safe to say that no such motive ever Swill impel Burleson to retire. He probably never made so much money in his life as he is making now and t could not command so large a salary J In any other occupation. Canada has a surplus for export of i over n, 000,000 bushels of potatoes I tbis year, and the United States also has a large supply. Last year we lm ported nearly 3,000,000 bushels of po- tatoes from Canada, despite our own surplus, which was so great that we I were being exhorted to stuff ourselves with them. Canadian growers found a better price here than they could rind at home. This anomalous situ ation was partly due to hoarding by profiteers, but more largely to a lack of facilities for bringing producer and J consumer together. The same thing la likely to be repeated at any" time, until the country shall construct a sys- tern of hard-surfaced roads. Hostilities ended a month ago and much has been accomplished toward setting the country out of war busi- Bess. But very little has been done toward getting into peace business. j The words of the president in his an- nual message should not be forgotten, i Among other things, he said: "What the country chiefly needs is that all vita means of transportation should be developed its railways, its waterways. Us highways, and its countryside roads." Also: "It seems to me impor tant, that the development of public works ot every sort should be prompt ly resumed." v i It is suggested that some of the war Jtime bureaus, boards and commissions j,' may prove to be like water Snakes we used to see when we were boys you ."could chop their heads off but they went on living until the sun went down. U Oulf coast' ports have called a con jference to be held in New Orleans, January 13-14, 1919, of merchants, "manufacturers, shippers, bankers and transportation men representing all sections of the United States between jthe east and west mountain ranges, t Canada and the gulf, to plan a valley J wide foreign trade development bu jreau and, thru concerted action, to seek adequate steamship facilities to connect the gulf- ports with the ports of Mexico, Central and South America, 'the Orient, Australia, Africa and Europe. Problems of finance, credits. shipping, transportation to and from lahlp-side. co-operative buying-, sell ing anil distribution and education for foreign' service, will be discussed by "men of national reputation.

The New Orleans meeting is designed to open the way for con certed action In a sustained manner. An open invitation to participate has been extended to interested merchants, manufacturers, shippers, bankess and transportation men, WHOM SHALL WE BLAME? It is" one' of the' serious defects of our civilization that we give more attention to cure than to prevention. We buUd prisons and then stand by quietly and watch the youth of the land drift into them. We spend im mense sums in providing punishment for criminals and comparatively little In 'arresting their development.. It must be that there is a better way and in time it may be found. Punishment as a means of reducing crime seems to be almost a failure besides being tre mendously expensive. Paul Chapman, a Brooklyn choir boy,"lC years old and 'tough," joined his "gang" in a housebreaking expedi tion, entered a flat at night to rob, and murder Vas done. He was tried and convicted, tho it was not proven that he fired the fatal shot, or that he fired at all, for that matter, and was sen tenced to the electric chair. He was in the death house in Sing Sing await ing the death summons when he was notified that Governor Whitman had commuted his sentence to one of life imprisonment. The boy was taken completely: by surprise, for he was utterly without hope. ."Thata awfully good news'." was his first exclamation "it's good news for my mother!" Commenting editorially upon the extension of executive clemency to this unfortunate lad, the Brooklyn Stand ard Union the next day said: "No one need have sympathy for Chapman. He chose his career of lawlessness deliberately and must pay for it." The Standard Union points out that the governor's action was prompted 'by the desire to avoid taking the life of a young criminal who is rather too tender in years to pay the extreme penalty for his offense" rather than by any "sentiment to mitigate the pun ishment because the penalty was too severe for the crime in which he shared." "The boy," it says, "was "a pretty bad character before the com mission of his last crime," adding thaf he was "a. tough lad, daring and un mindful ot possible consequences," and that he had been mixed up in numer ous lawless affairs, but was not re garded as a desperate criminal." It does him the Justice to disclaim that he expected to become involved in mur der when he and his pals essayed upon their last escapade together, but that "at any rate he went, got caught and is now being punished." What was society and the state do ing when it permitted a boy of 16 to drift into ways that landed him in a felon's cell? He was recognized as a "tough" lad and the future possibili ties of his bent must have been ap- parent. A boy who could be brought into a church choir and be induced to be good one day in the week certain ly would not have proved impervious to other reformatory influences. A boy whose first thought was for his mother could not have been altogether bad. Chairman Hurley ot the shipping board is in Europe. One of the pur poses of his visit is to seek an inter national agreement for the standard ization of seamen's wages and working conditions. It is said that "such an agreement would eliminate the chief difficulty that ham confronted Ameri can shipping interests in past years in their attempts to operate ships In competition with oth er nations." Of course it is an axiom that as the. coe't of operating foreign ships increashes, competition with American vessels will diminish and they will be able to meet their rivals of other nations on an equal plane. Probably what Mr. Hurley really should strive for is the organization of an international seamen's Union. A body of that kind should be able to standardize wages all right altho it might fix a figure which would be re garded as hlghAn certain quarters. One of President Wilson's final of ficial acts" before sailing for Europe to attend the peace conference was to appeal to philanthropic Americans to aid the Armenian, Syrian, Greek and other war sufferers of Western Asia. It is estimated that about 4,000,000 war sufferers in the Near East will require outside help to sustain them thru the winter. Many of them are now hundreds ot miles from their homeland. The vast majority of them are helpless women and children, in cluding 400,000 orphans. The Ameri can committee for relief in the Near East is appealing for a minimum of 130,000,000 to be subscribed January 11-ia. 1919, with which to meet the most urgent needs of these people. The ready disposition of Americans to relieve distress wherever it may exist, doubtless will lead them to respond to the appeal In their usual generous manner. 1 A stove hospital has been estab lished in Topeka.

Washington. Dec I. Shall, the American dead In France be disin terred and brought back to America, or shall their bones be, allowed to remain permanently in the soil of the country where they fell? This question, which is supposed to have been settled some months anro by an official order of the secretary of war, remains in fact a subject 'involv ing some difference of opinion and a great deal of practical difficulty. The order of the secretary of war, issued last July, states that "the re mains of all officers, enlisted men and civilian employes of the army, navy and marine corps, who have died or may hereafter die in France, shall be buried in France until the end of the war, when the remains shall be brought back to the United States for final interment." This order 'suggests In Itself tbat It must have been issued without a care ful preliminary consideration of what it might Involve. It is known to have been issued in response to a popular demand for the return of the remains of the slain to this country. This de mand was evidenced by letters to the war department. Many of them were from wealthy persons who desired to go in person and bring back the bodies of their dead from France. It was found impossible to grant these re quests because of the shortage of transportation, and it was further con sidered unjust to allow the wealthy to bring back their dead, while the poor were unable to do so. It was con cluded that the only just and satis factory arrangement would be for all tne flead to be brought back at gov ernment expense. Since the issuance of the order. however, a strong sentiment has sprung up in favor of leaving the fal len Americans where they are. Col onel Roosevelt's letter to the secretary that the remains of his son Quentin be not disturbed, has been widely pub lished in the newspapers. The feel ing expressed by Colonel Roosevelt is Known to be widely snared and to have been communicated to the war de partment by many other fathers of taiien sons. While the government presumably stands pledged to bring back the re mains ol the American soldiers to this country, it can safely be stated that for various reasons the growth ot this sentiment is a thing to be desired. For one thine, there are ereat nrac- tlcal difficulties in the way of bringing DacK tne remains ol tne slam.. For another, they are not buried here and there in France in scattered and un tended graves, as many persons seem to imagine. The grave registration service of the American Expeditionary Force is special service which has been organ ized for tne purpose of gathering the American dead and interring them in cemeteries set aside by the French government for the purpose. Those temporarily burled on or near the field of battle are disinterred and removed to these cemeteries later. These cem eteries may be considered as American soil, since they have been given by France to the United States for the purpose which they serve. Some American soldiers have been buried in French and British military ceme teries. None, except those listed as missing, are interred outside of mili tary cemeteries, and few of these could be identified for return to this country in any case. Phmographs of these military ceme teries have reached this country. They show long rows of carefully tended graves, wlthr flowers growing about them, and each marked by a wooden board or cross. Those graves whlcn are left undisturbed in France will be marked by the United States government with stones- Following the issuance of the sec retary's order last summer, the grave registration service of the quarter master's corps was organized. A unit of this service includes about fifty men, three of whom are skilled under takers and embalmers, and seven .of whom are undertakers apprentices. There are fifteen such units with the expeditionary force. As is shown by the above account of its work, tbis service has been most successful in identifying the Ameri can dead, and in obtaining proper in terment. Each man in the expedi tionary force wears upon his person duplicate identification tags giving nis name, rank, company and regi ment. If the individual desires, this tag is further stamped H, C, or P, the letters standing respectively for He brew, Catholic and Protestant. A He brew, if he has thus declared him self cne, is never burled under a cross. It was pretty plainly the original intention of the war department that this graves registration service should embalm the bodies of the dead, and bury them in caskets. The inclusion Of the undertakers in the personnel in dicates this. It is also known that several thousand caskets were shipped to France for this purpose. It was evidently Intended that each fallen soldier should be embalmed and buried in a casket so that his dis interment and removal could be an easy matter. It was soon found that both em balming and the use ot caskets were impracticable. Caskets and coffins could not be shipped to France be cause there was not enough shipping to bear the soldiers and the food which were needed to win the war. Neither was embalming practicable. Not only did limitations ot time often make this Impossible; but the condi tion of the bodies, some of which were badly mangled and some of wjhich were not discovered for days after death, added to the difficulty. All attemps either to emvbalm the Ameri can dead or to bury them in caskets was presently abandoned, except in the case of a tew who died in hospitals where ample facilities for interment happened to be at hand. Most of the American dead were buried as soldiers have long been buried wrapped in their blankets and tents. It is estimated that the total num ber of Americans who were killed or died of wounds in France is in the neighborhood of 75,000. The task which the irovernment would face, then, if it brought all of 1 the dead back to American soil, would be the disinterment of this number of bodies, buried without embalming or caskets: their placement in hermetical ly sealed caskets; transportation across the ocean, and distribution to all- parts of the United States. The cost of the metal-lined, hermetically sealed caskets, which are required by our interstate commerce laws, alone would be an enormous item. With all precautions, the task would be an un sanitary and gruesome one. It would cause unnecessary recrudescence ol all of the most bitter feelings connect ed with the war. Its .total cost has been estimated at not less than sso,- 000.000. All of these facta have been ad vanced as reasons why the relatives of American soldiers who fell in France should be content to allow their re mains to stay in the soil of the country for which, aa well aa for their own, they died.

EVENING STORY Her Liberty Loaned. BY HARMONY WELLER. There was more than one reason why Gladys conseatted to act on the woman's committee of the local Lib erty loan board. She tried conscien tiously to make her duty toward her country the first and compelling reason deep in her heart she realized, however, that there was a rival motive. And that motive was, by name, David Stapleton, chairman of the committee of men. Gladys Moore was a girl well along In her twenties. She was quiet and pretty, with one of those sweet per sonalities that attracted old ladies and very young men. She had never gone out much in the village after she had returned home from boarding school. It sc-emed as if she had outgrown what few of her old companions re mained in the home town. And that was quite natural. Four years away from home in that impor tant time of development in a girl's life make a wonderful change In her tastes and habits and choice of friends. Almost the only place she had gone during the four years that she had been at home had been to Red Cross meetings. In this organization she had' worked untiringly and now, when the .war was calling forth to the limit of her capacity every woman in the village, Gladys was one of the roost dependable. Then came tne call lor a woman s Liberty Loan committee to supple ment tne work or tne men. JUufe l ve never done anything or the kind." Gladys demurred.- when they. asKed her to serve. t .Neither have we, said the com mittee in unison. And Gladys, having previously no ticed the name of David Stapleton. the cashier of the village bank, on the list of men, accepted. David stapleton was a widower. He had known Gladys as a girl in her teens and had always liked her. Since she had returned home he had seldom seen her. His activities lay along lines that did not include women. He hardly ever saw a woman outside of his own household, where there were a number of aunts and near-aunts. "This is my first experience in this line," Gladys said to him when they came face to face the first morning that she appeared at headquarters to begin work on the big drive. This is our first war. you know. David laughed, as he let her pass thru tne door. 'And our last I hope," Gladys re marked. 'At least give it one blue ribbon." David found himself saying as Gladys busied nerseii arranging tables and chairs as part of her work on the committee on Headquarters decora tlons. What for?" 'For giving me the pleasure of see ing you again." Gladys pretty white skin-warmed perceptibly, and David, unaccustomed as he was to observing feminine charms, thought he had never seen anything so lovely as her cheeks. Kvery day the two had work to do together, and occasionally in the even ing Gladys found herself being es corted to or from a Liberty Loan meeting by uavid stapleton. 1 ve filed my questionnaire. he said to her one night on the way nome. "Your questionnaire?" she asked, -vp T-n. t., ,i.a r 1 -on,- Gladys breathed, -"i xou thought 1 was too old n confess it'" uiaays saia notning. "Didn't you?" "Perhaps I hadn't thoujrht at all about tho draft." she added." 'Are you thinking now?" David asked pointedly. Gladys nodded. They drove on In silence. Both were thinking in a new vein. V When V&iadys stepped out of the oozy little runabout before her own door she seemed to feel ill at ease. She could not explain her more or less Shyness with this man whom she hadl Known always and yet with whom now she seemed to be so strange. "Don't you want to steal an hour away from your desk at headquarters tomorrow and have lunch with me at a tea-house on the outskirts of the autumn woods T David asked, detain ing Gladys by a very gentle touch on her arm. Gladys caught her breath and was almost afraid he could hear her catch it- What was the matter with' her, she wondered Why did the ouch) pX David Stapleton make her heart leap so wildly, and why did his voice sound so low and tender? v After she reached the house she re membered having promised to go with him on the following day. She could have shaken herself for' having acted like a girl of sixteen instead of like a woman nearly thirty at the mere invi tation to have a bit of lunch with a man whom she had known all her life. On her desk the following 'morning she found a note. It told her that the president of the bank had had an ac-J ciaent to nis eyes tne previous mgnt and would not be in the office that day the last but three of the loan campaign. Therefore, that note went on to say, David Stapleton would be unable to leave his desk for so much as a half hourr Gladys did not know whether she Was disappointed or relieved. But there was much work to do; the hu man tide of patriotic citizens flowed constantly toward her desk, all day, and she had little time in which to think of herself. Not so with the cashier David Stapleton. His work had become so much a mechanical part of his every day life that, tho his hands were con stantly busy his thoughts were not on Liberty bonds. On bonds they might have been but The telephone rang. "Hello Mr. Stapleton?" "Yea Gladys?" he said, recognizing her voice at once. "I've just received my call." i "Callr" exclaimed David. i "Yes didn't I tell you the other ntght that you wouldn't be the only one in France before long?"- -"No you did not tell me." Gladys did not reply. Each held the receiver while no sound came over the wire. "You! didn't, Gladys," repeated David. "I thought I had told you. I shall have to report at once for physical examination. Then come my pass ports and then sailing! Won't it be wonderful?" "Yes oh, yea -It will be quite won derful," said David, mechanically. -The world around him had gone suddenly into the shadow the world that had seemed so sunny, so well worth living in, of late. But- of course he himself would be going tt the powers that bavwould have him ana i "You don't seem very glad for me. came G lady's voice across the wire, wistfully. -'Oh, forgive me of course I'm glad more glad than can tell you. but "But what?" "Good-hv. I'm coming over to your aaWBMBlMMBasBBBBBSssqsaBgaawa desk. I want to see you about some bonds," David said, abruptly. Some one had come into his offlce and he had been forced to speak quite cas ually, Gladys understood. When David approached her her hands were cold. Her cheeks were prettily pink. Her breath came far more quickly than she wanted it to. "Want to buy a bond?" she asked jokingly. Gladys had a way of jest ing when she was playing for time. "Yes; I want a bond, the maturity of which depends on Fate, Gladys," he said, sitting down across the desk and trying to compel her to look at him. There were no others in the room at the moment, but the place was as public as tho whole out-of-doors. "I I wondor if we have that sort," she demurred, looking over her card of instructions. 'I wqint no other sort." David said firmly. "Gladys. I love you. Do marry me!" Gladys could not speak. She had lost her power to resist him. and she knew not what to say in acquiescence. "Won't you, dear? Marry me be fore you go." Gladys nodded a series of little nods, and -when she finally looked at him Her eyes were full of shiny tears that with difficulty she kept from tumbling foolishly down her cheeks. Suddenly she brushed them away. She had seen some one coming. "Of course. I will," she said. "You knew it when you asked, didn't you?" (Copyright, 1018. by the McClure News paper Syndicate.)

If a man in love gives indications of needing to be examined by an alienist, certainly no woman In love would escape the Incurable ward of a mad house, for women take love harder than men do, and every woman in love acts crazy. What else except that they are daffy enough to be, put in straight jackets, makes girls marry the kind of men that they so often do? Could anything else, except a brain ptorm, account for the fact that girls rush into marriages that any sane person can see are bound to inevitably bring them lifelong misery? Yet they do it continually. A girl in love is so lar beyond reason that you cant persuade her that she can't reform a drunkard, or inspire a shiftless shirker to work, any more than you can convince a lunatic that he can't jump off of the Woolworth building without killing himself. What else except that she la so men tally afflicted that she is no longer able to realize the nature and quality ot her acts makes a girl indiscreet enough to write a man fool love let ters? What else except that she has taken entire leave of her senses prompts a girl to call a man up over the telephone in business hours and ask him if he loves her just as much as he did last nicht at 11 o'clock? What else except that her intellect is temporarily under eel. pee makes it possible for an Intelligent girl who has taken a college education,- to spend hours' at a stretch gurgling with de light while some fool Romeo asks her, "Oose ducky is oo?" What else except being possessed of a monomania that clouds her percep tions so that she cannot see the thing before her eyes, makes a woman be hold the hero of romance and an Apollo Belvidere In a short man with a bay windowed figure and a bald head Yet practically all girls in love ex hibit these indications of an Intellect disturbed in rational functioning. It's the hallucination that the man she loves is the handsomest, the wisest, the wittiest human being in the universe and that she has snatched him away from every other woman. that turns this dull old world into a paradise for every girl who is in love. It Is the Illusion that her .husband ia the greatest financier, the most bril Iiantowriter. the most talented artist that ever lived, that keeps the wife satisfied with h r lot, happy in the harmless delusion that she has mar ried the king and is his queen.

A little over a year ago I was taken very sick and star- nine months -1 er-'alk- or leave my room My husband had hls motber come to take care ol my litt e girl and me. I certainly have no complaint to make about the way she cared for my child, but she was not interested in me tne way my motner would be, and he would not let my mother come. I used to be very pretty and strong, and now I am thin and white and can never be active again. I can get around the house and work a little, but I feel so useless I think I will go Insane. My baby loves me, jut I thin she loves her grandmother more, and my husband is good to me, but lie seems tired of having me sick and he has lost his sympathy. What shall I do. Death would be better than to live this way. PAULINE. You must regain your hope in life, because with it you wiH. get well so much sooner. Many people have been condemned to death or a lifelong ill ness by doctors, and because of their determination to conquer disease they have regained their health and strength. You are certainly better than you were, or you could not get around the house. Stop thinking thoughts of sickness. Let your mind dwell on your improved condition, and also try to do a little more every day. Try never to mention your condi tion to your husband. It will be hard perhaps, after all this time, to think of other topics of conversation, but your husband's hours at home will be very much happier in a changed at mosphere. You have so much to Tight for Ufa with your husband and your child Remember that strength, cornea only by doing. Dear Mrs. Thompson: (1) I am a young girl of eighteen. I started go ing with a boy one year my senior early in the soring. My birthday was In July. He gave me a wrist watch for a birthday present- Wo have had a quarrel and have not seen each other for about a month. Should I send the watch back? alevw eral friends say they wouldn't send It back, since it Is a birthday present We were engaged. (2) Is it wrong to go with a sol dier who is here? I don't know any thing about the boy, but he treats ma veil. He is four years my senior. PEGGY.' (1) You should i return the watcft). It is not considered good taste to keep gifts from a man after friend ship or love has ceased. (2) Do not go with the boy unless) you have had a formal introduction, A HERO EVERY DAY Brave Deeds of men in America's Fighting Service The navy department has com mended Henry Lawrence Doyle, C B.

WORK FOR ALLIES Germany Will Sot Hare Pay Allied War Debt. To Wilson's Principles Will 'Clean' Hans Financially. They Will Stand by the Sew German Government. Copenhagen. Dec 12. Berlin's wel come to the Prussian gaard of Tues day was solemn rather than trium phant, according to Berlin advices re ceived here. It was generally observed the troops marched under the German national colors and that the bands played "Deutschland uber Alles" and not revolutionary airs. Brandenburg Gate and the streets thru which the soldiers inarched were decorated with evergreens and flags. The officers and men were decorated with national rosettes of flowers and wore their iron "crosses. The soldiers in the procession participated in the last battle of the war and suffered tremendous losses, some detachments being reduced to almost the vanishing point, it is said. The ranks, however, were filled with men from other de tachments. Owing to the fact that no steps to control traffic had been taken, many persons were injured 'when the van guard of the troops passed thru Bran denburg Gate. The throngs for a time completely arrested the parade and force had to be used to open a passage for the soldiers. Friederich Ebert, the premier, wel comed the soldiers. He declared, it is said, that a new government had been established in Germany, and that the army would be its strongest support. In behalf of the troops a sergeant re plied to the effect that the watch--word now must be "Quiet." He said that 'the soldiers desired the conven ing of the national assembly at the earliest moment and did not want to be led away from the "secure path of quiet and order by Dr. Karl Lieb knecht or other dreamers." DICE IS WOUNDED Topeka Pressman Was 'Wounded in Action October 25. Mrs. Josephine Dice received a tele gram this morning from the war de partment that her son, Lewis Dice, had been wounded. The wire an nounced that Dice was injured October 25 in action. No further details were contained in the message. Lewis Dice is a member of the S3 7th Infantry of the Ninetieth division, and received his training at Camp Calvin. Texas. He sailed for France last June. He is a brother of Mrs. G. F.

Burial in ML I Washington, Dec 12 Germany will not be asked to pay the full allied war debt, as Lloyd George is advocating, provided President Wilson's principles obtain in the peace conference. Officials here privately declare that much of the British talk of making Germany pay thia enormous debt Lloyd Geocge estimates it at S120.000. 000,000 is election talk. The Ameri can government beeieves Germany will be about "cleaned" financially when she is done with paying merely the restorative indemnities to be asked of her for Belgium and northern France and elsewhere. Germany will be working for the alUes a Ions; time ahead and will pay in the sweat of her brow, in lowered living conditions and in taxes od all for her brutality and the suffering her autocracy imposed upon the rest of the world. President Wilson believes in a stern justice for Germany. Neither be nor any other American official believes Germany should escape such punishment as will go with territorial readjustments and re storative indemnities. But President Wilson has declared against "punitive indemnities; and if officials hero are correctly inrormed. he will oppose the Lloyd George plan of seeking to make-Germany 'pay the allied war costs. Lloyd George will have hearty sup port from the president in seeking to abolish conscription. Concrete evidence in this support is seen here in the fact that the war de partment has privately let congress men know that at present there is no plan for universal military training in this country. Germany is soon to face a revision of the armistice terms. The limit ex pired Wednesday. The revised ver sion probably will vary only slightly from the one previously in effect.

THEN THIS We have for years in the most positive manner, both pub licly and in private, advertised against the commission evil practiced in the piano business. 2 The very friend of whom you would have no suspicion and trusted to his or Iter judgment in the purchase of a piano may be interested solely in the amount of commission he or she is to obtain, and in any event you really pay a higher price than if you had ignored the supposed friend. The custom so prevalent In the piano business of asking more than the piano is worth in order to meet the demand for commissions made by friends of the buyers is most reprehen sible and shameful. Of course the dealer so operating: and the one taking the bribe are cunning in their operations. Tou can't beat them. Many piano houses would like to announce and follow the "no commission" policy, but fear the loss of business by not co-operatinswith commission seekers- The surest safeguard of the public is to patronize a known one-price no commis sion establishment.

According to the wording of the record on the minutes of the meeting. Cage is numbered among the benefac tors of Topeka as one of the half dosen men who left a last and bene ficial impression on the city, and in addition to the impression left behind them m-rks which the shifting sands of time will be unable to cover. It was directed that the resolution be incorporated in a letter and sent to the relatives of Mr. Gage. The plan of over-pricing pianos in order to pay secret commissions is a daily practice in most cities. But you are sure of satisfaction and economy in buying: at Jenkins.

A THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNALTHURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 12. 1918 SUFFERED 30 YEARS Wasn't Able to Put on Collar I Without Help. Rheumatism Disappears After !j Taking Tanlac. 0 "Well, sir, when a medicine relieves ft man 70 years of age of a case of rheumatism that has made his life miserable for thirty years you may Jufet put it down as being1 extraordin ary." said Jacob Yost of 1321 Kast lQth street, Topeka, recently, "but that is. just what Tanlac has done for me and I want my friends and the public .to Know about it." .fc'or years, before coming to Tope-1 kit, Mr. Yost was proprietor of the Yj6st Yeast company, with factory and headquarters at Arkansas City, Kan., anjd is well known thru the state. Con tinuing his statement, Mr. Yost said: 'Yes, for thirty years or more I have suffered with one of the meanest and mpst obstinate case of rheumatism R'person ever had. and during the winter months and damp weather, especially, I would just suffer agony. "Wpy, for years now, that is until I used Tanlac. my shoulders and arms were so affected that I could not get my hands up to fasten on my collar and tie; my wife had to put them on fof me, and my knees were so stiff and pained me so it was difficult for me to walk. No one knows, unless they have suffered the same way, just what I did have to endure and I had begun to think I would never find anything to help me. '"One day I read a testimonial for Tanlac that somehow impressed me so I made up my mind right then and there to try it and I could see some Improvement before I finished my first lottle. This encouraged me to keep up the treatment and while I have just started on my third bottle I am already a Myed-in-the-woor Tan lac booster. I am just talking Tanlac to everybody and anyone who gets the wonderful relief I have would praise th medicine that did it. All the stiff ness and pain has disappeared from my shoulders and arms so that I can now put on and take off my collar with ease. In fact, all my rheuma tic pain is gone and while I am 70 years of age. I can get around as spry as I ever could. Not only has Tanlac relieved me of rheumatism, but it has strengthened and built me up otherwise and I have never felt better In" my life than I do today." Tanlac Is sold in Topeka by the Tully-McFarlaird Drug Co. Adv. FEW GO TO SCHOOL

Reopening on Belay Flan Seems To Be Unpopular. Attendance Today Only 33 Per Cent of Normal. PARENTS ARE COMPLAINING Fear That Classes Will Spread the Influenza. Board Members Inclined To Regret Their Action. Try Slate Journal Wants. A good many of the youthful stu dents of Topeka find that they were not so keen for the book rule and the old class room as they thought they were going to be, or rather, as their parents thought they would be. The schools, by special arrangements for relay attendance, opened this morning for recitation hours, by special per mission of the -board of health. The attendance this morning was about 33 uer cent of the normal attendance. The lowest percentage of attendance in any school was 14 per cent, and the highest was in one of the junior high schoois, 60 per cent. In the Topeka high school the aver age attendance wa's 4.2 pupils per class. Whether the arrangement for relay attendance at school will continue thru the closing order, is uncertain. A. J. Stout, superintendent, of the city schools, could make no statement re garding the probable continuance of the plan. I find," he said,, "that some of the parents who were insistant Upon having the schools opened are not sending their children, and others who did not approve of the idea of trying to operate the schools during the epidemic, have decided to send their sons and daughters now that the classes are opened." It is likely that the state board of education will have a meeting as soon as the closing order Is lifted, to de cide what shall be done in school af fairs in arranging the work on a uni form basis for all the state. Some of the board members who were anxious to have the schools open to give the eager students a chance to make up their delinquent work and make a passing grade, are now inclined to regret the step.

A Thanksgiving dinner which has resulted most disastrously for those attending may be heeded in regard to similar gatherings at Christmas. At this dinner, which was held in the vicinity of North Topeka, were nine teen guests. One young girl com plained of a headache, but no thought of the flu was entertained.

It is said two women drove the car away and aban doned it when it became stalled in the mud. Mrs. George Brown, living In the 1000 block on Van Buren street, was taken to the tuberculosis hospital yes terday. There is slight hope for her recovery. Mrs. Brown was sick with influenza some weeks ago and later suffered an attack of pneumonia, which developed into tuberculosis. Mr. Brown is in the employ of the Union Pacific railway. The case is espe cially sad as there is a family of sev eral small children, one of them only a few weeks old. Mrs. Van Horn, 908 Jackson street, a sister of Mr. Brown, is taking care of the baby at present. Mrs. John Buechner of 1131 Van Buren street received word yesterday of the death of her nephew, Howard Reynolds, of Pueblo, Colo. He was the son of Mrs. A. E. Reynolds, whose death was reported yesterday. Altho the telegram did not tell the cause of the deaths, Mrs. Buechner believes influenza to have been responsible for both. Howard Reynolds is survived by his father, A. D. Reynolds, and three sisters and also by his grand mother, Mrs. James Griffin, of Me noken; two aunts in Topeka, Mrs. Buechner and Mrs. John Ready.

"France wants reparation, restora tion and guarantees from Germany." According to the statements made at the Chamber of Commerce this noon by Lieut George M. Sauvage, of the French high commission to the United States, these three things lorm the sole basis of France's demands at the peace conference. He explained that by reparation France means the rebuilding of her factories and mone tary restitution for the things done which no money or labor could re store; by restoration France means the giving back to France of all the territory stolen from her by the Ger mans, whether fifty months ago or fifty years ago. and by guarantees the giving of substantial assurance that the first two points will be fulfilled.
