alone" says the board. Perhaps no
other social service compares in value
with the need of training men and
women to teach others how to keep
well and live correctly. To aid hui
mainly through surgery and medicine
is the first great professional need of
the state.
THE university hospital has served
the people of Kansas more widely,
mercifully and constructively relative
to health than has any other agency.
1t has given medical care and surgi-
cal operations, instruction in the pre-
vention of sickness and disease, and
provided education in sanitation to
hundreds Of persons unable to pay for
it. Free Of cost $3.50 treatments for
rabies have been given to the poor at
this hospital The money value Of this
service Is equal to more than
$4,000"
The board finds the hospital lack
ing in equipment and facilities for
caring for patients. and in cheerful,
attractive surroundings. The board
recommends q comfortable home for
the young women nurses, and also
more free beds in the hospital for the
use of state patients.

LOST BROTHER SHOWS UP.
TC .,ekan With Lyceum Bureau AcC
dentally Finds Family in Conc0rdia.

Concordia, Kan, Jan. 5.-Charles
Mann Dawson left Topeka in 1900
when years old and has travelled
over a greater part Of the world since.
He is a natural musician, and when
was organist in one of the churches
in Topeka. A band Of travelling mu-
sicians persuaded the lad to accom-
pany them. Having the wander-lust
in his veins he went with them, leav-
ing his family to wonder what had
become of him.
During the eleven years that fol-
lowed he has been searched for over
the entire United States. sometimes
only a day or two ahead of those
hunting for him until finally all track
was lost.
Saturday night, however, he came
to Concordia to fill in an open date at
a local theater. His brother, Talmage
Dawson. happened to see the hand
bills which announced the engage
ment and it occurred to him that this
might be the brother for whom they
had been searching SO long. He
proved to be the lost boy. The family
was reunited at the theater after the
performance.

Dead Artists Letter
Tells of Trench Life
Champolon Who Married Daughter Of Former Comptroller
Knox and Who Was Killed at the 'front.' Describes
Scenes and Conditions

Life with French troops in the
| trenches" might well be given As the
subject of a letter written by Andre
Cheronnet Champollion, the artist. just
three days before he was killed at
Bois-le -Pretre.
Champollion was naturalized
American. a graduate of Harvard. and
the husband Of Adelaide. daughter OF
the late John Jay Knox, Comptroller
of the Currency.
His Pictures Would Protest War.
The artists ambition was to go
through the war so he might paint
pictures of the fighting that would be
protest against war. Champollion's
last letter. published by the Harvard
Alumni Bulletin. is as follows:
March 30. 1915.
At the Front"
Six days ago we left the village of
"Dunghurst' at two in the morning.
and Got back to the trenches al abou,
eight. that is. six hours later. When
we first entered. the long communica-
tion-trench things seemed pretty
quiet. Only a shot and an explosion
AT long intervals could be heard. We
had travelled along the communica-
ton trench about half an hour. and
were about to enter our shelters fn
the second-line trenches when not far
away came two fairly loud bomb e1-
plosions in quick succession. Then the
earth seemed all of a sudden to reel
There was a commotion like the burst
ing asunder of a volcano. Two hum
dred yards of above the trees a COL
umn OF huge rocks. Jumps OF eartn,
tree-trunks. and probably numerous
human limbs rose slowly and males
tically. The upper fragments as they
rose seemed to advance menacingly
in our direction as II they must sure
ly hit us when they returned to earth.
They seemed suspended in the air for
an indefinite space of time. as II there
was no hurry at all about their fall
ing back. They seemed to cross and
criss-cross in all directions. now oo-
scuring half the sky. Gradually the
mass assumed the shape of the up
per portion of an elm tree. and then
began to subside. Then could be heard
the smashing sound OF the tree
branches as this mass of rock and
earth fell back with the crushing
force of an avalanche. Everybody
ducked and plunged head first into
the shelters.
German Mine Exploded.
Almost Immediately there came the
on a stiff canvas or the swapping OF
innumerable small whips; all this
punctuated by a peculiar bizz. hizz.
whixz sound like some one whistling
in surprise. I could not help making
the inward remark. IT knew war was
tough but look here, boys, isn't this
a bit too rough" IT seemed that tn~
Germans had exploded a mine under
one of our trenches, then opened a
violent fusillade to capture what re-
manned Of II.
Being second-line troops. just ar
rived from resting up. we were not re-
quired to fight. We consequently were
