Soldiers on November IA.

The SVnflower Quartet of Topeka,
is booked to appear in concert at
Camp Funston on Wednesday even

ton made a great record last year,

of Mrs. kouns, it promises to make a
name for itself. among the musical
organizations of the state. Mrs. Kouns
already has long list of enga gements,
and from the way bookings are being
received it looks as though the de-
mand will exceed the supply.
The quartet lost its baritone singer

Headquarters Company Of the First
Kansas Field Artillery, stationed at
Fort Sill. Searle's place has been
taken by Lyman King, of the Wash

1t continues:
His views of strategy often are
superficial, unsound and incompatible
with practical conditions. But they
are courageous and obviously sincere,
and it is far better that they be stated
frankly than to leak out thru sub
terranean channels.
THE upshot of the speech is the
premier is anxious for closer unity in
the control of the a1fied armies. 1t is
an unimpeachabl BILE idea, but the point
is whether the machinery set up at
Rapallo will achieve this purpose.
Lloyd Georges instinct is sound inso-
far as he proposes to substitute a sys-
tematic council of ministers for the
past spasmodic and Intellectual con-
ferences, but he will come hopelessly
to grief unless he defines with far
greater precision than Bonar Law did
in the house of commons. the duties
of the councils military committee.
Must Clear Up Situation.
Lloyd Georges strength lies in his
ina gination and energy. His weak
ness is his failure to think out his
plans to a logical conclusion. His first
business when he returns must be to
clear up the very real misunderstand-
ing about the relation of his military
advisers"
The Daily News. while thinking that
the new council ought to be an i'm
portant gain, says that the disquiet
which has been expressed is due to
the well grounded suspicion which has
prevailed long. that there has been
trouble between Premier Lloyd George
and the heads of the army.

ertson were propagated purposely

with criticism of the new allied war
council as announced here yesterday
by Chancellor BOnar Law. Several
newspaper endorse the speech in the
main or are n9n-committal. Others
criticise adversely the new military
plan and accuse the premier of wish

Hang and General Robertson, chief of

The Morning Post connects the new
plan with the rumors and says both
nation and army are alarmed over it.
1t adds:
"A political council advised by a
