WINS BRAVERY MEDAL
Kansan Recipient of Military Honors
Conferred by French Army

Lawrence, Kan. Oct. 3.-For brav-
cry in action in a heavy attack in
September, in France, Roy Stockwell,
graduate of the University of Kan
sas, 1911, has been awarded the
French war cross
He is a member of the American
ambulance service, and has been
working in France for the last ten
months. Mr.. Stockwen writes that
most of the ambulances have to drive
along the roads at night with no lights
on account of German Smelling during
the day.
The noise of heavy artillery fire
even thrills the hardened gunners at
the front, he says, and the recent
method of gassing a trench by drop
ping gas shells on a battery puts that
section of artillery out of action, for
the men cannot work accurately dur
ing a gas attack. They formerly de-
pended on the wind currents to blow
the gas across to the enemy
Stockwell has recently applied for
a commission in the United States
artillery corps.

GET HEAT BY NOV. /
Camp Funston Furnaces Being Set Up
Rapidly as Possible.

Camp Funston, Kan, Oct S.-The
failure of the worlds biggest manu-
facturer of iron pipe and fittings to
get the necessary materials here on
time for the completion of the heat
ing system has caused Capt Fred J.
Herman, constructing quartermaster
to buy fittings in the open market.
Capt. J. S. Smith left here for Kan
sas City, where he will buy slightly
more than $1,000 worth of fittings to
be shipped Immediately by express
The lack of material has continually
held up work on the heating system
and unless certain fittings are avail
able at once more delay will be caus-
ed. All of the articles needed can be
purchased in Kansas City, where they
are carried in stock.
The fittings required Immediately
have already been shipped from
Bridgeport, Conn, and Chicago and
are now in transit, but rather than
stop the work until the shipments
arrive Captain Herman decided to
Luy what was needed out of the Kan
saS City warehouses.
A detailed report of the progress on
the heating system has been made to
Major General Wood, commanding the
Eighty-ninth division, by Captain
Smith and his assistant, NJ. E. Mil
Ter, a Kansas City heating expert. The
report stated that barring further de-
lays the heat could be turned on by

thousand persons at Abilene, Kan, at
the farewell reception given to Abb
lene's quota of drafted men who leave

Takers and "charlatans' were

he spoke about the conditions in this
country when war was declared per
sons in the crowd interrupted with
cries, Never again" and Were for
preparedness in the future and we're
for it strong"
we cannot prepare for war over
night" General Wood said. "Fakers
and charlatans who have told you a
million men would spring to arms be-
tween sunrise and sunset stand before
you now as false prophets and as
teachers of false doctrines, and at last
we as people realize how difficult
is the preparation for a great war, es-
pecfally when starting in without pre-
vious preparation.
IF you would realize how great the
task of the government is come down
to Camp Funston and look at the
great mass of buildings which are be-
ing constructed, the roads which are
being built, the supplies which are
being assembled, the men who are
coming in every day; and remember
this is where we find ourselves during
the sixth month of the war.
When you have done this and
thought the matter over, you will
realize how great is the task of organ
1z1ng people, who, altho ready and
willing in spirit, are unprepared in
the way of trained men and the vast
amount of necessary material, weap-
ons and equipment of all kinds"

PRIDE OF THE CITY
Ripley Park Recreation Building
PIeases the City Commissioners

THE best recreation center west OF
Chicago" That is what the city com
missioners have pronounced the $23,-
900 recreation building and swimming
pool recently completed in Ripley
park. The opinion was expressed
when the commissioners were taken
on an inspection tour of the park by
Commissioner w. L. Porter. The
buildings will be officially accepted
Thursday morning at a commission
meeting.
The recreation building is two
story burnt brick structure located
near the center of the park, Just east
of the old meeting place used this
summer. The interior is divided into
a large gymnasium, committee room,
shower bath apartments for both boys
and girls, and a large balcony. The
floors are of maple and promise to
be as servicea'ble for dances as for a
gymnasium floor. Equipment for the
room will include gymnasium appa-
ratus, basket ball court, vo1ley ball
court and a track
The swimming pool is one OF the IN
novations in city buildings introduced
by w. L. Porter commissioner. The
pool is oblong in form, shallow at the
edges and sloping to the center, where
the depth measures nearly nine feet
The capacity of the pool is $4,000
gallons of water. When in use the
water will be constantly changing,
thus making the pool one of the most
sanitary of the city's public swimming
holes"
A branch of the city library and
Central Y. M. c. A. will be opened in
the new recreation building. The large
rooms will be used as a community
center for the East siders. Public
meetings of all kinds will be held
there. Parents-teachers associations,
community improvement clubs and
public organizations will be given ac-
commodations in the new public
