on-Innumerable stories have
been written about the doings of the
French foreign legion, and the heroic
deeds of the picturesque force have
employed the pens of many eminent
writer's in fiction. In an article in the
Daily Express H. j. Greenwan pays
tribute to these famous soldiers of
fortune.
"All sorts of famous men have fall

all fell for France on the battlefields
of Artois and Champagne.

fighting beside Lieut.. Alexis Com

peror of Trebizond. Bob Scanlon, the
negro boxer, is with the legion, and
Francois Faber, from Luxembourg, the
public idol who carried off many
prizes as a professional cyclist, fell
in action. So also did Alex Carter,
the famous steeplechase jockey.

MEAL-TIME CONSCIENCE.
What Do the Children DRINK

There are times when mother or
father feeds the youngsters something
that they know children should not
have. Perhaps it is some rich dessert
but more often it is tea or coffee.
1t is better to have some delicious,
hot food-drink that you can take your
self and feed to your children, con-
scious that it will help and strength
en-, but never hurt them.
A Yorkstate lady says: Il used
coffee many years in spite Of the con-
viction that it injured my nervous sys-
tenn and produced my nervous head
aches. While visiting a friend I was
served with Postum and / determined
to get package and try it myself.
The result was all that could be de-
sired-a delicious, finely favored, rich
~ colored beverage. Since / quit cot

my husband, who had suffered from
kidney trouble when drinking coffee,
quit the coffee and took UP Postum
with me and since drinking Postum he
has felt stronger and better, with no
indication of kidney trouble.

comfort to have a warm drink at

Horse Disliked Cigarettes.

A sensitive horse who has a dislike
for cigarette smoke attacked Edgar
Akers, aged twenty-five, and bit him
on the right hand. Akers was smok-

streets near the horse, which was
standing at the curb. With an angry
squeal, the horse seized Akers by the
right hand. Akers managed to free his
hand, but not until the horses teeth

evidence that Mr.. Breckenridge made
the statement attributed to him
about the postscript therefore think
can not be successfully controverted,
and if Mr.. Breckenridge made the
statement, it can absolutely be be-
lieved
1.-The whole world knows that on
June 8, 1915, the second note was
written about the LusitSnia !Scident,
which began the retreat from the
strong note of May Is, and the process
of time has shown that the strict ac-
countability' note meant nothing. The
importance of this disclosure of the
preparation of this postscript to
go with the note of May 3 is that it
proves that the note at the very be-
ginning was not intended to mean
anything: in fact, that it was COM
posed and sent purely for purposes, of
deception and merely to allay for the
moment the just indignation which the
country felt at the destruction of so
many American lives on the Lusi-
tania.'

marks connecting President Wilson
with a postscript to one of the So
called Lusitania notes. According to
the papers you state the effect of this
postscript was to vitiate the force of
the note or purpoSely to inform the
imperial government that vigor dis
played in early parts of the note was
designed for Anglo-American con-
sumption solely.
Discovered Thru Luck.
According to the press accounts
this postscript was added rather sur
reptitiously and under star chamber
proceedings ard was Withdrawn only
because the few manly members of
the cabinet happened to discover It's
existence by luck and naturally threat
ened 20 turn the government upside
down.
4 assure you, sir, I deeply regret
being drawn into this affair. but 1 can
not sit idly by and see you called
liar when 1 know your statements are
true. My friend, Major Breckenridge,
several times made to me remarks
similar to those reported by Professor
Bailey. 1 cannot swear to every mi
mute detail for my memory is only hu-
man, but the general substance of your
statement is correct, TO my personal
knowledge.
LAS l have telegraphed to Major
Breckenridge to tell him of my pro-
posed action and as his remarks were
not secret, and as Professor Bailey has
already involved the major, 1 feel
obliged to state that 1 know your
statement is true.
q With regard to Major Breckin-
ridge, he is one of the finest examples
of the American gentleman, and his
distinguished family has been famous

His statement also is unqueStionab1y

Is and Has Been
an Advocate of Rural
Credit Legislation

In conversation with Mr.. Benton re-
garding the subject of Rural Credits, he
expressed himself positively in favor Of
such { measure, and said further:
Why, do you know it was the Re-
publican party that made an exhaustive
study of the subject which is the basis
for the present bill, and the Republican
National Convention of 1912 declared in
favor of the Rural Credit measure.
During my entire life in Northwest
ern Kansas l have worked early and late
to obtain cheaper money for this part of

price for land which is of far more i'm
portance to me as large land owner, as
well as to the other farmers of the dis
trict, than anything else.

Connolly Attempts
to Prejudice the
Voters

By the way, don't the voters think Mr.. Con-
nelly pretty hard up for campaign material
when he resorts to the "extravagant use of
money by having expensive plate matter pre-
pared with his picture, to publish the statement
that Mr.. Benton stands well even outside the
Sixth Congressional District? In addition to the
generous and universal Endorsement that Mr..
Benton is receiving from all classes of people at
home Missouri banker also thinks well of Mr..
Benton as congressional timber. What ter
rbe charge The time WAS when bankers
Endorsement would prejudice the voters, and Mr..
Connolly is resorting to this old stuff. But when
the farmers and everybody else are riding in
automobiles, many owning bank stock and all
getting rich BY the sale of our livestock and ag
rieultural products at WAR PRICES, no one
will be fooled by such methods. The question
naturally arises, has Connolly ever done any
thing at home or abroad to receive such praise?
Mr. Connolly has been in Congress four years.
Will he or his friends name one bill that he ever
even offered to say nothing about it becoming
a law while he has been Congressman, for the
benefit of single man. woman or child of the
Sixth Congressional District of Kansas? His
salary during the four years, say nothing about
his mileage and extras, will amount to over
$4,000, and what has he ever done to earn the
money ?-Oberlin Times.

was that after the note of May Is,
generally kno-7n as the strict account
ability note in regard to the s1nklng
of the Lusitania, had been formulated
and agreed upon there appeared a
postscript or second note to go with
it in which he declared in substance
that he would be ready, if the Ger
man government objected, to put the
whole matter over for arbitration I'M
til after the war. The one point OF
Importance in Mr.. Breckinridge $
statement to Doctor Bailey was that
this postscript or additional note had
been prepared by the president TO go
with the strict accounta bility' note OF
May IS.
Does Injustice to Self.
Mr.. Breckenridge has published one
or two kilograms in which he refers to
Mr.. Baliey and myself in a very angry
manner, which is not important, but
ne charactelizes his own conversation,
which Doctor Bailey reported, as back
stairs gossip He does himself a great
Injustice by this. because he was a
member of the Wilson administration
and a most excellent assistant secre-
tary of war.
He denies that there was any
threat of resigning by Mr.. Garrison or
others but he entirely fails to deny the
essential which was that the postscript
was written and that he and Mr.. Car
rison saw it
mr.. Garrison said in Washington:
I am not being interviewed on any
subject. 1 have no statement of any
kind to make So that he also re-
fuses to deny the existence of the post
script which he certainly would have
done If it had been q mere fabrication
by Doctor Bailey. Doctor Bailey is a
gentleman of the highest character,
standing and veracity I have no
doubt that he stated the conversation
in substance with absolute truth. But
I have additional evidence if it were
needed that Doctor Bailey spoke truly
thru the following letter:

the Senator's Charges.

Fitrhhurc. Mass. Oct. 31.-Senator
Lodge at a rally here submitted addi-
flonal proof that Henry Breckenridge
former assistant secretary of war, had
-aid that the first Lusitanis note con-
tained a multiplying postscript which
was Withdrawn by President Wilson on
threats Of cabinet members to resign.
The senator read a letter from John
Temple Lloyd Jeffries of Boston, a
friend OF Mr.. Breckenridge. saying that
he had heard Mr.. Breckenridge say in
substance the same things about the
note as Professor Charles II. Bailey of
Tufts medical school had attributed TO
the former assistant ~ecretary of war.
