VICTIMS OF THE WANDERLUsT
Marine officers Complain That Cooks:
Who Enlist in the Service Have
Mania to keep Moving

No, you aren't the only victim of
the servant problem. Here is another
sufferer.
Uncle Sam, rich and powerful, good
to his help" and the surest pay in
the world, can't keep his cooks any
longer or better than the ordinary
suburban commuter. He offers them
good pay, easy hours and lots of
nights out. but they simply will not
overlook the fact that they are cooks,
bred and born, and so keep moving
on.
United States marine corps statis-
tics covering the last two years show
a greater percentage of men deserted
who gave occupation prior to entry as
cooks" than any other class enlisted
during the period.
Desertions form the marine CORPS.
are very light at all times. The av-
erage marine considers that the serv-
ice offers better advantages than any,.
thing he could find in civil life, says.
an exchange, and he believes the op-
portunities for travel and adventure
to be unexcelled, and, were it not for
the cooks, marine corps officials be-
lieye that the oldest branch of the,
service would have an almost clean
slate with regard to desertions, No,

oath of obligation as these self-same,

the disarmament proposal submitted
by Representative Hensley of Mis-

the committee:
That upon the conclusion of the
war in Europe, Or as soon thereafter
as it may be done, the president of
the United States is authorized to in
Vite all the great governments of the
world to send representative to a
conference which shall be charged
with the duty Of suggesting an or

ferred for adjudication and peaceful
settlement; and to consider the ques-
ton of disarmament and submit their
recommendation to their respective
governments for approval,
That the president is hereby auth
orized to appoint nine citizens of the
United States who shall be qualified
for the mission by eminence in the
law and by devotion to the cause of
peace, to be representatives of the
United States in such conference.
THAT the president shall fix the
compensation of said representatives
and such secretaries and other en-
ployes as may be needed. And for
that purpose 100000 or so much
thereof as may be necessary is here

State Leases Game Farm.

Missouri's experiment in game
propagation has ended. and the farm
closed when the land was leased tC
neighboring farmer.
The game farm was opened in 1911
when Jesse A. Tolerton was the state
game and fish commissioner Toler
ton conceived the idea that the game
supply Of the state could be greatly
augmented by the propagation of En-
glish pheasants and Hungarian par.
tridges.
Pheasants by the thousands were
raised for two years and scattered
over the state and thousands of Hun.
garian partridges were imported and
distributed. To-day it is doubtful il
500 of the pheasants are alive in Mis-.
souri, and nothing is ever heard of a
Hungarian partridge.
Failure of the experiment has been
attributed to the ruthless slaughter
of the birds by hunters and the fact
that they were not intended by nature
for the environment in which they
were placed. They were destroyed
by hawks, foxes, mink and other ma
rauders. Perhaps 100000 was expen-
ed The money was raised from the
sale of hunters licenses.

oregon Fails to Choose Major.

With 60 per cent of the vote cast in
Oregon's statewide primary election
counted and with all but four of the
95 counties heard FROM. it becomes
apparent that of the nearly 100000
Republican votes cast, Charles E,
Hughes received a clear majority over
all other presidential candidates of ap-
proximately $4,000. His plurality over
Senator Albert B. Cummins, will be
approximately $4,000, while Senator
Cummins has received more than
twice as many votes as former Sena-
tor Theodore E. Burton of Ohio.
The vote received by Col. Roosevelt
for the Republican nomination was
only negligible, although he received
the vote of the Progressives as it's
nominee.
Democrats, the state over, appeared
to have voted unanimously for Presi-
dent Wilson. Vice President Marshall
was an easy victor over Gov. Elliott
w. Major of Missouri, as the Demo
cratic choice for vice president.

LYNCH SENTENCE HELD UP
COURTMARTlAL NOT CONFIRMED
BY HIGHER OFFICIALS.
Penalty Passed Upon Naturaized
American in Dublin Not Yet
Announced.

London, England-No information
has yet been received by the Ameri-
can embassy here regarding the ma
ture of the sentence imposed by the
courtmartial in Ireland on jeremiah
G. Lynch of New York, who was con
victed on the charge of completely in
recent Irish rebellion. This is due to
the fact that the sentence has not
been confirmed by the higher military
authorities.
The embassy has made request
upon the government that if a death
sentence had been passed, to defer
execution until an investigation of the
case could be made.
The news that Lynch had been con-
victed was received by the embassy
from the American consul in Dublin.
Previous to this the last news the en-
bassy had of Lynch was that under
the defense of the realm act he was
prohibited from leaving the five-mile
zone of Dublin. He had been making
trips to Western Ireland. Lynch was
a resident of Dublin for some time.

Lumber Concerns cited.

An order was made by the supreme
court en- banc to cite directors and
other officers of four of the nine lum-
ber companies that have refused to
pay their fines for violating the anti
trust laws.
The citations are against the Brad
ley Lumber Company which was fined
$4,000: Colonial Lumber Company,
10000; Hogg- Harris Lumber Compa-
ny, $4,000, and the Van Cleve Lumber
Company, $4,000.
Attorney General Barker alleges
the companies dissolved to prevent
the state from collecting the fines.
Through Assistant Attorney General
Lee B. Ewing, the appointment of a
referee in the case of each company
is asked. These will be named later.

Mexican Bandits Killed.

Field Headquarters, Mexico ,-Twen-
ty-fiye cowboys from the Hearst ranch
at Babricora broke and scattered a
newly formed gang of bandits near
MADEIRA, killing Is, wounding one and
capturing six, according to news
reaching Gen. Pershing's headquarters
here.
The bandits had been organized by
Atezutro Dominguez and Pedro Cas-
tillo, who announced their enmity for
Americans and adherents of Carranza.
Following the theft of a number of
horses from the Hearst ranch, they
began guerrilla warfare
Employees of the ranch surprised the
bandits in camp near Ranch Viejo.
The six taken prisoners were deliv-
cred to Carranza authorities i'll

Among the dead were Dominguez
and Castillo, the toll bringing the num-
Der of Villa followers slain since the
American punitive expedition was

Squad Returns Fire Of Attackers and
Nothing Is Known of Results
Troops Farther South Than
Has Been Supposed.

Rancho Providencia, Chihuahua,
Mexico.-Bandits are again active,
though being hunted persistently by
detachment of American cavalry. In
spite of the presence in the country
of q. large body of Carranza troops, a
detachment of American cavalry num-
bering Is men was attacked while
patrolling the Mexico Northwestern
Railroad few miles south of Temos-
achic, which is southeast of MADEIRA.
One American was wounded. The
casualties among the bandits are not
known. After firing in answer to a
volley fired by the bandits the Amer
leans retreated, owing to overwhelm-
ing numbers of the enemy.
A small group of Mexicans is
falling in behind the American col
umns as they move northward, always
keeping out of sight, but telling the
natives that they are chasing the
'gringoes" from Mexican soil. They
stop whenever the Americans halt and
hide or disarm if Gen. Pershing's men
approach them.
Men Perhaps carranzistas.
Two suggestions are prevalent re-
garding the identity of these men. One
is that they are Carranzistas, trying
to give the American movement the
appearance of retreat. The other is
that they are bandits, seeking to an
noy the Americans by sniping. The
latter conjecture is the more favored.
This is the first intimation received
recently that American soldiers were
stationed SO far to the south. All re-
ports have placed their southernmost
point at Namiquipa, which is con-
siderable distance to the north of
Temosachic, from which it is also sep
arated by a range of the Sierra
Madres.

NEW CONSTITUTION
oRUMMERs CIRCULATE PETITION
FOR NEW INSTRUMENT FOR
MISSOURI.
HELPING TEACHERS OF STATE
Present Document Written in Days Of
Reconstruction Does Not Permit
High Degree of Progress or
Development.
Jefferson City.

A resolution favoring convention to
frame new constitution for Missouri
that will answer the needs of modern
progress adopted by the Missouri's
Drummers' Association in convention
recently, has been forwarded to the
Missouri State Teachers Association.
The association resolved that the
present constitution of Missouri, writ
ten, as it was, in post-bellum days,
when the state was yet in the throes
Of sectional feeling and before the
present stage of progress and develop
ment was fairly begun, is inadequate
as the fundamental of the state"
The association also expressed it's
commendation of the Missouri State
Teachers Association in its move
ment to bring about such a conven-
ton.
