AMERICANS FIGHTING WITH
THE ALLIES
Nearly $4,000 Former Citizens Of
the United States in the
Armies Of England,
~~ and France.

With the British forces ir
France, Feb. 2.-Nearly $4,000
Americans are estimated to be
fighting for the Allies, and in
quiry shows that nearly four
fifths of these are in the khaki
clad British Army, commanded
by Field Marshal Haig.
1t is computed that actual
fighting forces of Americans now
in France under the Union Jack
is probably larger than the Unit
ed States Army which was actu'
ally engaged i'll hostilities in the
brief campaign Of the Spanish
American War.
! Hundreds Of Americans have
given their lives for the cause OF
the Allies and hundreds of others
bear permanent scars of the
shock Of battle, but each new
battalion and each group Of re-
endorsements arriving from over.
seas brings numbers Of their fel.
low-countrymen to take their
places. All have fought with a
pluck and determination which
have won them universal respect
and admiration, although not so
much has been written about the
Americans serving in the British
ranks as in regard to their broth
ers in the French Army. British
Army traditions seldom counte-
nance the same enthusiastic, ex-
positions Of individual deeds of
hcroism and daring as are includ-
ed often in the French and Ger
man official reports.
But the American Tommies
have helped to write some bright
pages in the history Of the war in
all branches of service--the Fly
ing Corps, the Medical Corps, the
artillery and infantry.
The Canadian regiments natur-
ally attracted the greater number
Of Americans, many of the re-
cruits living in the Dominion
when the war broke out. But the
Americans also are scattered
through tho distinctly English
battaliOnS and some are found
among the Australians, South At
ricans and in the different staff
departments. Many former men,
bers of the United States Army
and Of the crack National Guard
regiments answer to the British
roll calls, but all have had to
learn the new art Of modern war;
and will be. graduated as among
the bcst-trained soldiers in the
world.

Missourian, Aged 105, Dies.

Springfield, Mo-, Feb. q
Jacob w. Hartley, 105 years old
believed to have been the oldest
living Missourian, is dead at his
home in Webster County, near
here. He had lived in the Sand
Springs neighborhood, where he
died, for IS years.
When the Civil War broke out
Hartley was then too old to en-
list, and each of his four surviv-
ing sons is past Is years old.
He is survived by more than
200 direct descendants.
He was an exponent Of the
simple life. He used neither to-
bacco nor intoxicants, advocat-
ing shifting snuff if one must
become addicted to any of these
habits.
Until his one-hundredth year
he was still active in the manage
ment of his farm, but has been
blind the last five years of his
life.

Frozen Pipes Cause Explosion.

Mrs. John Krinn was painfully
and severely injured last Thurs
day morning when the heavy
steel range on which she was
preparing breakfast, exploded
with terrific force. Wednesday
night on account Of the extreme
cold, Mr.. Krinn had drained the
pipes leading to the water heat
ing part of the stove, but some
water must have been left in the
water front which fr0zc and
when the fire was kindled a sui
ficient amount Of steam was gem
Grated to cause the explosion.
Mrs. krinn was standing near the
stove when the explosion took
place and was severely burned by
the flying ashes and cinders. be-
sides being bruised by the flying
parts Of the stove. The stove was
totally wrecked and so great was
the force of the explosion that
every window was broken out OF
that part of the house. MIR. Krinn
at once summoned physician
and while Mrs. Krinn's hurts
were being attended to it was
found that one of the lids of the
range had been hurled through
the ceiling and into the room
above the kitchen where it had
set the house Attire. The fire de-
partmcnt was called and the fire
was distinguished without much
loss. 1t was at first feared that
Mrs. krinn s eyes were seriously
injured, but the cindcrs have all
been removed and she is getting
along as well as could be expect

DEUTSCHLAND

News Agency Declares Grew of

New York, Jan. 31.-Both the

A TENTH OF FRANCE
Modified
In No American War Has That
Great a Proportion
Fought.

One day recently l heard
Stephane Lausanne, editor of the
Matin of Paris, say that one per-
son out of every ten in France is
a soldier in the war.
That is tcrrifically heavy
mobilization. In no American
war has the number of soldiers in
proportion to population equalcd
that.
During the entire eight years
of the American Revolution 309,-
600 soldiers served under Wash
ington. Had they all been in the
army at once it would have
matched the present French mo-
hi!lzation; but there were never
one hundred thousand soldiers in
the Revolution at one timc--less
than one person in thirty Of the
population.
About one in twenty, counting
militia, who never heard the whiz
of a bullet, was the best they did
in the War of 1872.
The war with Mexico required
only one in two hundred.
Mobilization in the Confcder-
ate states during the Civil War
was heavier than in the Union
states. The biggest Union army
in the field at one time was
1,050,000, or one out of every
twenty Of the Northern popula-
ton.
The war with Spain only called
out one man from each three
hundred of population.
Recently | heard a member of
the Canadian Parliament say
that Canada had raised four hum
dred thousand troops for this
war. which makes the drain upon
thu DominioTs manhood just
halfNat in France.
We're Russia to call out it's
strength as France has
done, the ears army would en-
brace II million soldiers.-Phila-
dclphia Public Ledger.

BILL WOULD PUT TAX ON
NOTES
Senate Divided on Question o
Having Them Listed.

jefferson City, Jan. 31.-The
senate is evidently almost equal.
ly divided on a revenue measure
introduced by Senator Stark of
Cass county requiring notes to be
listed with the assessor and to
bear his stamp showing that they
were listed for taxation. The
penalty provided is that notes not
so listed shall become 11on-ne-
gotiable and non-collectible. The
senate committee on judiciary re-
ported adversely on one bill and
Senator Stark sought today to
get the measure on the calendar
for engrossment in spite of the
committee recommendation. The
Cass County senator did not ex-
actly win his point, but the bill
was sent back to the committee
for amendments, and it is yet a
live issne.

U-BoAT HANDICAP TOO BIG?
Naval Experts Say Blockade
Would Not be Effective.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The eff
fectiveness of an organized sub
marine blockade in a limited
area, such as is proposed by the
last German note, is seriously
questioned by followers of naval
affairs. The belief is that with
submarines placed every twenty
miles, as suggested, the British
U-boat hunters would have far
more opportunity to sink or cap
turc them.
England says it has four thous-
and fast boats to chase submar-
ines, while Germany is under
stood to have some five hundred
submarines. That would mean
eight hunters for each U-boat,
and the handicap would be big
one in favor of the British.
1t is pointed out that the sub
marines have had little success
so far, except in desultory raids.
England has had it's Grand Fleet
within a very easy submarine
dash from Helgoland for months,
and has not, so far as is known,
lost a naval boat there recently
by undersea attack. Apparently
there is some sort of a precaution
that is proving effective there.
That shows, it is argued that the
submarine can be stopped
