French COMMANDER
Wants AMERICANS
General Petain Appeals for
Them To Be Sent at Once
to Get Proper Training

New York, May l6.-General Petain.
new commander of the French armies,
appeals for American volunteers to be
sent abroad Immediately" in an in
terview with Whitney Warren, noted
architect, published by the New York
Times today.
Asking for volunteers at once, Petain
says:
"These volunteers would at first be
organized with French units, but still
respecting the autoeraey of America. 1t
is understood that it is a moral neees-
sity that they fight under their own
flag, but there is also necessity for a
period of transition or instruction
when quicker and better results could
be obtained by the above method"
Petain points out that these volunteer
units could later be used as skeleton
organizations for the bigger American
armies.
"The foundation of American volun-
teer units" he said "will comprise two
periods. First, constitution and equip
ment in America, second, intensive in
struction in France. The construction
and formation of officers is all i'm
portant, and is especially what was lack
ing in the case of the English. Officers
should be very numerous, enough for at
least 100 divisions. They should be TAX
en- from your regular army or militia,
from among regular soldiers and young
men who have a certain amount of edu-
cation. Send at once as many colonels,
majors and captains as possible, to be
stationed with French officers at the
front"
Petain expressed confidence in Amer
lea Is ability for the herculean effort y
of raising and equipping big army by
selective service and said this huge
army must be trained both at home and
behind the lines.

TWO SEEK RELATlVES|BELEyE Lewis GUILTY
Police Sure Suicide Is Muir
derer of Maize Colbert,
Artist Model.

Philadelphia, Jan. 10. - After rum
ming down scores of clues and ques-
tioning virtually every one, who they
believed could throw any light on the
murderer of Maize Colbert, the model,
in her apartment here on December
20, the police declared tonight that
nothing had been revealed to shake
their belief that the crime was COM
mitted by Bernard w. Lewis of Pitts
burgh. Lewis committed suicide in At
lantic City several days ago after Miss
Colberts body had been discovered.
Reviewing circumstantial evidence
which they claim points to Lewis as
the slayer the detectives tonight said
that it had been definitely established
that the Pttsbureher had been ac-
quainted with Miss Colbert for at least
q year; that his body was identified
by taNi-cab driver as the man he
took to the models apartment early
on the day the crime is believed to
have occurred; that mans shirt, col
lar and necktie were found in the
girls room and that Lewis bought a
shirt, collar and nccktie on the same
day and that wounds on Lewis hands
undoubtedly had been made by teeth
The motive, they say, was a quarrel
over money. Both Lewis and the girl
are said to have been in Strengthened
circumstances.

REMEMBER LAST YEAR
AND FEEL COMMENTED

Don't swear II you get your feet wet
during the present thaw. Just think
back for space Of IL months and
then grin cheerfully. as you seek the
high and dry spots on the sidewalk.
For just a year ago the worst streak
OF cold and blizzardy weather that had
come to the Garden city and the
banana belt for many year descended
upon the unfortunate Inhabitants.
For six weeks the winds howled and
the day that the thermometer crept
above the zero mark was hailed as a
real novelty. Citizens stayed indoors
and if they had to go out they walked
because for several days at different
times the street cars were tied ND in
the suburban parts of the town while
autos would have stuck in the drifts in
quick time had any attempt been made
to- use them. The only calamity in the
way of cold that the city escaped dur
ing those six weeks of low tempera-
ture was a coal famine.
Think dY this, and then of the warm,
balmy days that all western Montana

mar the perfect days which resemble
nothing so much as the Indian summer
Of the late fall. A couple Of days more
of this weather and the snow will all
be gone. and there was lot of it. too.
So be thankful that last years history
does not repeat itself to the everlasting
JOY of the goldman and think OF the
bright and rosy future. At that, all the
wise ones are figuring how many
hours it will be before the snow starts
falling and the temperature drops.
