WAKE UP AMERICA
Pershing Says o. s. Must Ac-
cept Brunt of War.
Place Man in Fight for Every
One of Allies Slain.

Washington, May 25.-With a SOL
dier's blunt directness, Major General
Pershing, who will lead the first
American troops to the French
trenches, told America she must
awaken quickly to realization of what
the war means to the country.
Upon America" Pershing told a
Red Cross meeting, us to rest the
brunt OF the terrible burdens to
come"
France is under terrific DRAIN he
said THE United States must meet
the deficiencies caused by this drain.
1t is the United States that must re-
hebilitate France. We must help her
orphans, her widows.
yet, 1 am sorry to say that the
feeling among our people is lax. They
do not realize the depth, the horrors
of this war 1t is we'll for editorials
to be written to bring them to a reali-
Zation. But this is not sufficient. 1t
is our duty, you of the Red Cross and
we of the armyto impress upon the
people that we are indeed at war.
America Deciding Factor.
Americas entrance into the war is
the deciding factor.
The war has not yet been i'm
pressed upon the people out west -
said Pershing. Il have just come
from Texas, where they say, oh, well,
we haven't lost anybody. None of our
vessels have been destroyed and we
don't really feel that we are at war.
IT put this question to such men DO
you realize that we must fill the place
of every man who is killed among the
allies -
France Needs Billions for Relief.
Herbert c. Hoover told of the total
destruction of many villages in north
ern France, the restitution there and
declared the cost of restitution would
''startle all other than Americans
He placed the figure for supplying
makeshift relief for one year to the
people in a section sixty by twenty
five miles at from $1,000, 900 to
SO. O0O.00O,000.
The orphans and six hundred thous-
ar1 added tubercular persons, he said,
offer another problem.

Husband Who Lost All to Wife
in Divorce Suit, Didn't.
He Talked Turkey With Her
and the Day Was His.
Then HE PULLED OUT HIS PIPE
"That Rotten Old Thing" She
Complained to Her Hubby.
Last Seen Going Down the
Street Arguing the Case.

c. A. Wiburg, the man who couldn't
understand how he had won his case
when his wife got the divorce de-
cree, plentiful alimony, part of his
property and court costs, and who
switched lawyers in the midst of his
litigation, won his case after all.
Easiest thing in the world. once he
thought of it. He simply discharged
all his legal force and took matters in
his own hands. He sidled up to his
former wife, pulled a stray curl, called
her by her first name and talked tur-
key. They got together, just how is
nobody's business.
The main point is that they went
back to the court house before Judge
G. H.. Whitcomb and had the divorce
decree set aside. They wanted the
slate washed clean, but the court re-
fused to do that. Wiburg must still
pay his wife's attorney fee and the
shifts of lawyers.
Everything looked rosy to Wiburg
after the court had set aside the de-
cree. His property was fairly intact.
OF course his wife had told the court
some harsh things about him, but
the court some harsh things about
his wife. In fact they had taken turns
showing the court that each was to
blame for their trouble. But all that
was to be forgotten when they locked
arms and left the court room.
Once in the court elevator, Wiburg
felt the need of a smoke and he
| dragged out his athletic pipe, filled it
and started to light it. The match
did double duty. 1t lighted the to-
! bacco and caused Mrs. Wiburg to
| flare.
Down the Street They Went.
| what do Won mean by smoking that
rotten old pipe?" she demanded.
Now, now, now said Wiburg with
both hands and mouth; you can't ex-
pect to reform me in half an hour.
pipe long time"
1T certainly smells like it," retorted
his wife
| Then they left the elevator and
headed for the street. Wiburg con-
tinued to explain. but he also con-
tInued to smoke and Mrs. Wiburg con-
tinued to talk AS they passed out of
sight down Fifth street Wiburg was
still walking sideways waving his arms
while Mrs. Wiburg marched straigh,
ahead.
| 1t was Wiburg who told on the stand
how ne took his wife to a claim in
western Kansas in state. He declared
he bought a team and cab and drove
thru, he riding on the drivers seat
while she rode inside like a queel
from Russia
1t was also Wiburg who declared his
wife was SO Jealous of him that she
once kept pace with horse he was
riding in order to be at the home OF
a widow when he got there.
