ASK FRANCE TO DROP PHRASE
Note Says Use of american Flying
Corps" Puts Country in False
Light as Neutral Nation.

Washington, D. C.-The French
government has been asked to discon-
tinue referring to American aviators
in the French army as members of
the American corps, because of the
false light in which such reference
places the United States as g neutral
nation. A large number of Americans
are now serving in the French flying
corps and all have taken an oath OF
allegiance to France.
Americans who have taken an oath
of allegiance to Great Britain or to
France or to any other warring nation
of Europe are no longer citizens of the
United States and ure not entitled to
receive passports from the state de-
partment or to protection from the
government
This ruling became known when the
state department recently refused 10
issue a passport to Theodore Marburg,
j., Of Baltimore, member of the
British royal flying corps. Young
Marburg's father was formerly Unit
ed States minister to Belgium and if
an exception was to be made in any
case it doubtlessly would have been
made for him.

Galicia Also to Gain Independence
Polish Nation to Control Its Desti-
nies, Govern Itself by Chosen
Representatives of Nation.

Berlin. 1.-THE Polish provinces
occupied by troops of the central pow
ers," says the Overseas News Agency,
were the scene of a great and mo-
mentous historic event. Germany and
Autsro-Hungary have, by joint action,
proclaimed Warsaw and Lublin the
Kingdom of Poland and reestablished
the right of the Polish nation to con-
troll itself by chosen representatives
of the nation.
"a few days ago Polish delegation
called upon the imperial chancellor,
DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg Its mem
bers were representative Poles of all
classes, all parties, all ranks of So
ciety and all creeds. They transmit
ted to the German government the
wishes of the Polish nation, which has
now been granted to them"
The manifesto issued at Warsaw
and Lublin reads as follows:
"His majesty, the German emperor,
and his majesty, the emperor of Aus
tria, and apostolic king of Hungary,
inspired by firm confidence in final
victory of their arms and prompted
by a desire to lead the districts con-
quered by their armies under heavy
sacrifices from the Russian domina-
ton toward happy future, have now
agreed to form of these districts
national state with a hereditary mon
archy and constitutional govern
ment. The exact frontier of the king
dom of Poland shall be outlined later
on.
"The new kingdom will receive the
guarantees needed for the free de-
velopment of its own forces by its IN
innate relations with both powers. The
glorious traditions of the ancient
Polish armies and the memories of
the brave comradship in the great war
of our days shall revive in national
army. The organization, contraction
and command of this army, shall be
arranged by common agreement.
THE allied monarchs express the
confident hope Polish wishes for the
evolution of Polish state and for the
national development of Polish king
dom shall now be fulfilled, taking due
considerations of the political condi-
tions prevailing in Europe and of the
welfare and the safety of their own
countries and nations.
THE great realm which the West
ern neighbors of the Kingdom of Po-
land shall have on their eastern from
tier shall be free and happy state,
enjoying its own national life, and
they shall welcome with joy the birth
and prosperous development of this
state"

Must Weigh Potatoes.

At meeting Of the Housewives
League at the Carnegie Library res
olutlon was adopted pledging the
members to make purchases of gro
GERS of the city who sell potatoes,
turnips and other vegetables of that
nature by weight rather than by
measure
The statement was made by one of
the members that the difference be-
tween the measured peck of potatoes
and the weight was as high as five
pounds to the advantage of the weigh
ed tubers. This created much discus
sion and the resolution which was pre-
sented was adopted without a dissent
ing vote.
Application will be made to the
proper state authorities to help them
get what they are after.
The action was taken because of
the increasing cost of all eatables and
naturally the humble potato feels the
increase first. There are go pounds
to the bushel of potatoes and full
peck should weigh Is pounds. 1t was
reported by one of the members that
certain grocers would sell either by
weight or measure as the customer
desired Another grocer it is reported
sells exclusively by weight. It was
stated that all grocers bought by
weight and there was no reason why
they should not sell in the same way.
A proposition was received from the
Metropolitan Life Insurance company
that it would pay SIS per month to
sustain a visiting nurse in the COM
mnuity. This matter will be taken up
later by the league for action. It has
been agitated for several months. The
necessity for visiting nurse for the
families who need such attention, but
cannot afford it, is said to be very
great The visiting nurse in the com
munity was abandoned couple of
years ago after trial of about three
years. The abandonment was caused
by reason of a lack of funds to pay
the salary.

, Jefferson CITY,

Jtil6TbOu Olly.
The steam heat has been turned on
in the new capitol building for the
first time. One of the five big boilers
in the power house was started up and
in few hours steam was flowing
through the pipes in the tunnel into
the big building.
The steam is turned on at this time
in order that the walls may not be
frosted, which would delay their dry
ing out. The new capitol building has
been entirely enclosed and from now
on the rooms will be kept at sum-
mer temperature. Some so radiators
have been installed, which is suffi-
cient, but not all that will be placed.
F. w. Graham, mechanical superin-
tendent for the Gill Construction Co.,
was in the power house when the fires
were placed under the boilers, and he
gave it his personal attention. The
boilers are stocked automatically,
which means that coal is furnished
the fires without the necessity of hav-
ing q lloiu SuON6l IL Ill, Inc i've DlS
boilers will generate enough steam for
all the power to be used as well as for
the heat, and the coal consumption at
the maximum will not exceed 10 tons
per day. The coal used is nothing but
slack" which is the cheapest quality.
The big smokestack will not belch out
great quantities of smoke, as do the
other stacks in the city, because of
the complete combustion in the boil
ers.
The capitol commission went down
to look the power plant over. It was
we'll pleased with the way the ma
chinery operated and at the prospect
of keeping down the expense of warm
ing the great building.
Chairman Stephens said the exterior
of the building would be completed by
the first of December and only the in
side work will remain to be done. All
winter long the men will be employed
inside.
