ST. LOUIS, Mo, May THE mid
die vests unrivalled reception Of the
great French warriors and states
men is at an end and with the last
| long cheers of the flag strewn crowd
which watched the special out OF
sight here today, echoing in the dis.
! tance. Premier Viviani and General
Joffre turned their steps toward the
grave of Lincoln.
Perhaps the most impressive and
significant moment of the French
commissions tour of the west will
come when, in the presence OF a
great gathering OF those common peo-
pie for whom all three have the best
Efforts Of their lives, Rene Vivian1
and Joseph Jofree, leaders in the war
for the emancipation Of the world,
do homage before the tomb Of Abra'
ham Lincoln, emancipator of nation.
That the heart of the west-and its
sword and storehouses have been
pledged and are being taken back to
France and the allies by the baltic
commissioners, there is no doubt.
"A million Americans-th
of German birth among them-stood
along the two days line march IN
Chicago-and at stops cheered them
to the echo. The progress Of tho
party thence through corn and wheat
belts to Kansas City and back TO
st. Louis, was a blazed trail OF tri-
umph for allied arms.
"The stars and stripes and the tri-
color have been inextricably mingled
in the middle west in the last five
days" said member of the party as
the train left ST. Louis today.
In all the millions of mixed citi-
zenry along side the line Of march as
the Frenchmen passed it has been all
"Vive La France" and not one
whisper Of "hoch der kaiser"
And if there is any one incident
that has touched the hearts of the
French more than any other among
countless Incidents by which the mid
die west has attested its devotion to
the allies' cause, it was that Of a
little farmer lad who stood alone 10
the midst Of rolling fields beside the
track, far out in the black fields of
Illinois, bravely waving flag three
times as large as he, while the train
whizzed by.

But for the moment, the eyes Of
the world are turned toward three
great figures in history, who meet
in spirit today in the shadowy sill

resting place
These three have much In common.
Men of few words, all of them; and
Of great deeds.

COPENHAGEN, May ANY Ger

imendously organized and still power

clared American Minister Maurice
Francis Egan today, in a warning to
the people of America, voiced through
the United Press. He appealed to his
fellow countrymen not to be deceived
lby German peace duplicity and not to
slacken their war preparations under
the mistaken impression that the Ger
mans are really ready to quit.
No American official is more con-
yersant with German conditions than
Minister Egan. A veteran diplomat.
long and brilliantly serving the United
States at Copenhagen has made spe-
cial study Of Germans and Germany
no less than the ramificattons Of the
Teutonic chicanery and propaganda.
How strong he feels the insincerity
of the German "peace feelers" which
have been flooding Europe recently, is
indicated in the fact that he decided
to violate diplomatic precedent which
forbids an envoy expressing personal
views OF granting luLeISle"S. bu,
Egan decided the exfgenofes Of the sit.

Relaxation of American prepared
ness would increase the contempt Of

in Germany prove that although food

ton calling for the selective draft OF

ance awaits only action by congress
on the conscription bill.
The urgent demands for an. army
accentuated by appeals from the

hoped to obtain agreement on the
bill before tonight and report 1t out

There are wide differences on the
three important features of the bill
covering age for draft, army prohi-
bition and the Roosevelt division
amendment A compromise will be
reached on the age Question-prob-
ably fixing the age for draft between
81 and 80 years. Undoubtedly, how

prohibition and Roosevelt division
amendments.

will detail fully what is expected OF

the selective draft bill.
All young men between the ages
agreed upon between the conferees

TIMES-ECHO GIVES A CLUE

The following article, printed in the Times Echo yesterday, brought the first clue to friends in Eureka Springs of the strange disappearance of r. M. Bricker, whom relatives and friends have been using every means they thought of to locate him.
 MT. Rricker had been living in Eure- ka Springs for several months. rooming at the Glenwood near Little Eureka spring. On October 2, he bads his friends good bye here, and they sup posed he was going to Wichita. Kan. |, his former home. Time passed and friends began to get letters, asking about him and as no information could be vouchsafed, a brother and sister came (" investigate, but fonnd no clue to lead them to their brother. On re- turning home they sent friend here who stayed several days and made every endeavor to find some clue of MT. Bricker's strange disappearance. This gentleman said the family was willing to spend $50,00 in locating him.
 When the Times Echo came out yes terday, telegrams were sent to his brother and sister and papers bought to send them.
 All concerned, are sure in their own mind the Mr. Bricker spoken of in the above article is the same Mr. Bricker who is so much wanted.
 If this is the much wanted gentle man, we are wondering how much the Times Echo is going to get out of this business. If there is a bonus we will divide up with Editor Russell of the Boone County Headlight, who first printed inform ation about Mi. Bricker. Saturday'f Eureka Springs Times Echo

Man Starved in Woods 27 Days

After starving for twenty-seven day in the woods not far from Pine Top station, four miles north of Omaha, r. M. Bricker, a mining prospector, was rescued by party of men last Sunday in dying condition, and is now being nqrsed baek to health by pr. Cox of Omaha.
 MT. Bricker, who is sixty-seven years old, came to Pine Top on October IS to look for mining lands. He struck out through the woods to go to Ed Weayer's. After getting opt into the dense portion he says he became deirous from ovef- heat and when he regained himself he was lost and i'll. Wandering around he found sort of cave in bluff in which he took shelter, and unable to get away, he remained there all this time, he ayers, without any thing to eat. A nearby spring furnished him water with which he quenched his thirst.
 He says he could hear the rumble of the trains and an occasional whistle of a saw mill and also hear people in the woods hunting, but vas too weak to make himself heard. ''' \ ''''
