ASK RESPECT FOR
THE HOSTILE DEAD

Rome, Oct 30.-Saddened by
their losses, retreating Hungarians
placed on a cross in one of their
abandoned graveyards 4 message
which after the war may grow into
a legend which will help bind Aus
tro-Hungary to Italy in peace. The
improvised cemetery is on the Low
er Carso. Each of it's 1000 graves
is marked with a small wooden
cross and buckler. On the cross
nearest the gate under the caption
"K. X. r. 1. 46 Friedhef'' is the
plea. It reads: "1talians!---If in
your heroic advance, you come on
these parts, show not profanity, but
respect to this little city of the dead.
Keep it safe, we pray you. For af-
ter this calamity, when we will
again be friends, we shall still have
tears in our eyes to water the soil,
which covers the bones of our broth
ers.'

Beer" and "Roozer."

To the Editor of the Des Moines
Register: When prosaic news
dispatch from Charlton announced
that one paul M. Beer would lead
the parade at Harding political
rally" a few weeks ago, the item
caused an extremely facetious out
burst in your editorial columns
about the eternal fitness of the
thing"
Now that one "R. r. Boozer of Ce-
dar Rapids" has Endorsed the Mere
dith candidacy, as constant reader
of your paper l am wondering if the
latter incident will cause another
cachinnative explosion or on the
contrary will produce a paroxysm of
pain?
The superficial reader and think
er might hold the query as unim-
portant, yet who will make so bold
as to argue that it is not pitched in
the dominant key of the current
campaign? c. A. Weaver.

SACRIFICE LOCKS
TO AID SUFFERING

London, Oct. 30.-Twenty-fi five
sets of female tresses were laid on
the altar of war hygiene and effic-
iency here today. The locks, in
various stages of luXuriousness,
were owned by members of the
Scottish Women's hospitals who are
going to Russia for ambulance and
hospital work. The women will aid
the Serbiaps fighting in the Ruman-
ian Dobrudja.. The Honorable Evel-
ina Haverfeld, one of the party, sug-
gested that >,ong hair would not
make for efficiency in the work to
come. Consequently and without a
murmur, the % recruits paid a visit
to the barber and emerged tressless.
Two field hospitals and a transport
motor service, equipped and estab-
lished by the Scottish Women's or
ganization, completely stated by
women, are now with the Serbians
There are seventy-five women in all

Talk N THE FIELD
OF NATIONAL GAME

New York, Oct. 30.-All over the
east baseball fans are bowling and
tearing their hair over prices charg-
ed this year for admission to the
worlds series games. Also, they
have admitted they were surprised
by the absolute calm which laid
hold of Boston and Brooklyn during
the series and before it. There isn't
anything wonderful about that calm,
nor anything high handed in regard
to the prices. The first was an I'M
avoidable fact, the latter something
that was bound to come sooner or
later since luxury has come to be
one of the requisites of such con-
tests. The east has been worlds
'sseriesed" to death. Teams on the
Atlantic seaboard have hogged the
affair ever since Detroit and Chicago
quit winning American and Nation
al league remnants. Even the Pirates
were too far east for the good of the
game. They take WOrlus series
games in the east now as as a mat
ter of course. The fans like them
and they want. to see one team or
the other win, and they spend money
to see the game, but the spirit isn't
there and it never will be until the
west has had some baseball prosper
ity. Magnates in the two big leagues
realize this fact and it will be sur
prising if some deals are not put
through this winter which Will
strengthen the western clubs to
point where they will be real pen
nant contenders. The White SoX
are contenders now and so are the
Tigers, but there are spots in each
club which badly need strengthen
ing and these will be given atten-
tion. In the National league the
same conditions prevail and it prob
ably will come. to pass during. the
winter that st. Louis. Pittsburg and
Chicago will be bolstered.

Injured in Battle.

Lehigh Argus: Me-. and Mrs. C.
w. Register Of this place have receiv-
ed news that their son, Adon Roys-
ter, was seriously wounded while en-
gagged in battle. in the great Euro
pean conflict, and that he had been
admitted to the General Hospital at
Baulogne for treatment. Mr.. and
Mrs. Register have daily watched for
further news of their son, but up I'M
til this time no further word has
been received.
Adon Register left Lehigh on July
5, 1915, and went to Ontario, Can
ada, where he enlisted under the
British flag. His company was sent
to the scene of the conflict after a
short duration spent in drilling. For
several months he has seen active
lighting and it is understood that he
was in the great engagement where
blow after blow has been directed
against the German army and the
forcing of this army back toward
Somme. The telegram was brief and
cablegram had been forwarded to
Ontario, and a telegram sent here to
his parents 1t simply said: "Adon
Register has been seriously wounded
in ting upper extremities by gun
shot wound and has been admitted
to the General Hospital at Baulogne
) for treatment" In addition to this
the name of the ward, the division
and the number of his cot was fur
