 BEING INVESTIGATED

NEW YORK: Dr. Frederick A. Cook, who started some talk in tho newspapers about the noisE' pole. has returned to his native Brooklyn home bringing fresh disco yertes to a palpitating world. ,' '
 The docter' declares that the wild men of Borneo are not wild. and the docter ought to know. as he has been pastiming among them for several months. Instead. frcm his story, they appear to have reached q high stage of development, in which the women do all the work.
 The docter arrived on t:'e Nor wegian-American liner Kristiania- fiord via Bergen. "I have discover ed." he announced, "the will! men of Borneo. They are not wild" .
 'I found them to be race of tall well-built folks of fair complexion. Their only uncivilized traits are head-hunting and polygamy."
 To prove that the wild ren are not wild at all the docter went on to say that the women have taken things into their own hands in Bor- reo. It is a Utopia of femini m. They have taken over the management of the tribal governments. as yell as building, the fires and putting out the cat. They refuse to let the men do the work.

WAR HEAD EXPLAINS ENTENTE
 SOMME OFFENSIVE
Maurice Says Purpose of Recent Fighting Was to Relieve Pressure on the
 Verdun Front q

London, November 2.-During the course of an interview with the Asso- ciated Press correspondent today, Maj. Gen. F. E. Maurice, chief director of military operations at the war office. was asked what he thought of Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's statement that the entente allies could not break through the western front in 30 years. General Maurice replied:
 "0ur recent offensive was not de- signed to break through. Its purpose was to relieve the pressure on verdun and kill as many Germans as possible. will not undertake to say whether it will take 30 years to get the Ger mans out of France but the allied strength constantly is growing and the German strength constantly is declin- ing. The effect of the allied, offensive is accumulative. When the weather per- mits it's resumption the results will be greater than ever. Torrential rains in the past week have prevented actions of any great consequence.
 Tt is no doubt true that the Germans in recent fights have been short of ammunition. During the winter, with it's short days, limiting the use of ar tillery, they were able to replenish their stores but, despite the bad wealth CT, We have no intention of letting up on them.
 Our offensive will continue through out the winter when conditions are at all favorable.
 From documents recently found on prisoners there is no question but that there is a great deterioration in the enemy's morale and material, al- though they have been able to main tain the number of their divisions. drawing regiments from old divisions to form new ones. You see, in defense warfare, eight or nine battalions can form an effective division, whereas Il or 12 are required for offensive work. On the defense a smaller number of battalions can hold a great amount of line. This is possible through the use of machine guns, whereas on the offensive the men must be individually armed with rifles.
 q am confident the actual new or ganizations of the Germans are not more than 10 divisions. Others were formed as indicated by withdrawing battalions from old divisions"

country's neutrality was vanishing. Later, however, the semi-official Overseas News agency announced that the imperial gov- ernSnent did not consider the volunteer ing of Americans as breach of neutral ity.
 The complaint to the state department followed a recent inference to the Ameri- cans in an official communique from the French war office. Precedent for action was set early in the war, when at the informal request of the Washington gov ernment, Great Britain had the name "American Legion withdrawn from a Canadian contingent that was being re- cruited from the United States.

'sUndertaker's Hardware" Goes Higher in Price
 and Big War Is Blamed

New York, November 2-The European war is held responsible for the increase in the cost of burial supplies and con- sequent advance announced today by un- dertakers for funeral services Owing to the war, it was said, "undertakers hard ware," name plates and coffin handles, has risen in price from 20 to 30 per cent due to the fact, the supply men claim, that the chemicals used to give the nickel effect is not now being imported. It is estimated that even the cheapest collins cost $5 more than formerly. ..
 Wholesale dealers 1n burial supplies have notified undertakers throughout the city of a general advance in the trade. To offset the advance the undertakers are considering the advisability of en- tering upon campaign in favor of cre- nation.

American ADit Title WiU Be
 French on

Washington. November 2.-The famous American aviation corps of the French army probably soon will lose officially its distinctive title as result of protests to the state department that use of the name is not compatible with American neutrality. There will be no formal ex- changes between the two governments on
 the subject. but the state department will suggest informally to the French foreign office that mention of the American" corps in official communiques places this
 country in an embarrassing position.

FAVOR AMENDMENT

Considerable spice was put into the conference session when Dr. J. w. John son of Birmingham presented resolutions of indorsement to the proposed educa- tional amendment to the state constitu- tion. Drs. G. w. Read, s. L. Dobbs and R. I. Walston opposed the proposed ac- ton. They stated that while being favor able to the amendment, and while pro- posing in the exercising of their rights as citizens to vote for it, they were opposed to the conference considering the matter on the ground that there was in 1t an element of politics, and hence the conference as such, should let it alone.
 It was contended on the other hand by strong men that this was matter of very scant political quality, and hence it was proper for the conference to speak. The resolution was adopted.
 The following visitors were introduced: Dr. Haynes, president Birmingham col lege: Dr. E. B. Chappell, Sunday school editor and pr. E. H. Rawlings, mission ary secretary of Nashville; the Rev. J. A.
