tents into "huts." Wooden floors are
being put in. the sides are being
boarded up, cracks sealed, and the
little homes of the men. each of which

conical tent stove, which burns wood,
and which has pipe sticking out

tent hut warm. The mess halls have

New York. Nov. 10.-The national

by our victory in New York, have
made it easier for the presiden. to

No More Women Office Holders.
There is no doubt but that the
amendment will go thru at the next
session. A reputation of suffrage
now would be a reputation of the
ideals we are fighting for in this war

Washington, Nov. 10.-A balance of

Russia may not be turned over by the
United States if the Lenine-Trotsly
peace faction gains complete control.
The American government declared

have been with the provisional gov

HOLD POLL TAX CASE
Supreme Court May Not Decide Mat

The supreme court may not decide
the poll tax case until the December
opinions are sent down, according to
reports today. Briefs have mo- been
filed by the defendants in the case
and there is little probability that the
constitutionality of the tax law will be
decided this month.
Arguments in the case were pre-

sumed the case would be decided
when the November decisions are rem
dered Saturday. The November de-
cisions. however, will cover cases pre-
scented in October.

Wood piles a quarter of a mile long
are heaped up at the south edge of
the camp, part of the winter supply
of fuel that is being accumulated.
Each tent is allowed one cord of wood

Learn Gas Tricks.
Every man in the Jayhawker divi-
sion is being taught how to use the
gas masks All men within eight miles
of the trenches lover there" must
wear the masks, and the soldiers here
are being familiarized with the masks.
Schools of instruction are held each
day, in which details of men, wearing
tie masks are sent into sealed cham
bers filled with deadly gases. There
they remain for eight or ten minutes,
and they learn how to get about and
do things with the masks on, and
breathing the poisoned air. More ini-
portant than all, they are taught how
to quickly adjust the masks. for they
must be put on within six seconds.
The deadly gas turned loose from a
boche trench will reach the opposite
trenches in less than ten seconds time.
1t is a grim experience to go into
this sealed gas chamber, for one Whit
of the chlorine gas within it would
prove fatal. Therefore the student
soldiers of this gas school are veHy
careful to see that gas masks are
properly adjusted before entering. Be-
fore the division departs for France
every man of the 10000 will know all
about the operation of the gas mask,
and each will have one.
