To Brig. Gen. George B. Duncan
goes the honor of being the first Amer
lean general to receive a decoration
from our allies in this war. Together
with Maj. Campbell King, he was
awarded the Cross Of War by France,
for his participation in che recent Yer
dun offensive, where both he and Ma
jor King acted as observation officers
in advanced artillery posts. They
worked under fire and piece of shell
struck the steel helmet Of General
Duncan.
The citation in the French award
to General Duncan read: "He assisted
our forces under circumstances Of ex-
treme danger during a very violent
bombardment at Verdun.
General Duncan was born in Lexing-
ton and is a graduate of the Kentucky
Military institute at Louisville, KY.
He has seen many years service in
the army, including some time in the
Philippines and on the border.

OLD WOMAN IS KILLED
Lived for Years in a Place Built for
Chickens,


J. K. Ewing, humane officer Of East
st. Louis, and Mrs. Jane Law, truant
officer, recently asked County Judge
Messick for an order to commit Mrs.
Anstea Latieur, eighty-ive years old,
to an asylum or home. This action
was taken after it was learned that
until recently Mrs. Thompson lived in
a shed in the rear Of the home Of her
granddaughter, Mrs. Inez Thompson,
at No. 1927 North Forty-ninth street.
A part of the shed was used as chick
en- house.
Since fire threatened the shed last
Monday, Mrs. Latieur has lived in her
sranddaughter's kitchen. Mrs. Thomp-
son told Ewing her grandmother was
feeble and unable to walk and had
been satisfied with her quarters in the

u. S. IS INDEPENDENT
OF GERMAN chemicals
Advance in Three Years Equiya.
lent to Progress of Ger.
many in Fifty Years.

By far the largest and most COM
plete exhibition of its; kind ever held
in the world is open to the public in
New York at the Grand Central pal
ace. It is the third annual exposition
Of chemical industries. In the exposi-
tion at the palace is presented the
greatest collection of exhibits Of chem
ical industries ever made. 1t really
represents the lifting Of the veil Of
mystery that has heretofore surround
ed the chemists work, and the dis
closure Of the secrets Of the manufac-
ture Of gunpowder, paper and pulp, as
phalt, fertilizer, dyestuffs and numer-
GUS other products Of the chemists in
genulty.
To a large extent the European war
is responsible for the exposition, which
represents the efforts that have been
made to meet emergencies resulting
from the lack Of products formerly
shipped to this country from foreign
laboratories. That the American chem
ist has succeeded in effectively produc-
ing some of the things for which sew
eral years ago we looked to the Eu-
ropean markets is now generally
granted. The displays at the palace
emphasize this fact. During the last
three years leading chemists and SCI
entists declare, this country has made
advances in chemical industries equiv
alent to the progress made in Germany
in fifty years, and America, it can now
be said, is absolutely indepel dent OF
foreign countries in this field.

for a novice to handle. But Mr.. Hur-
ley bpckled down, asked a lot Of ques-
tons and got a fair idea Of whaE 1t
meant to build ships. Then he said
something like this:
II don't know thing about build
Ing ships, but do know that the Unit
ed States has got to have them and I
am going to see that she gets them.
There are plenty Of experts to take
care of the technical side, and I will
see that the experts are on the job
and keep moving"
Then Mr.. Hurley held long con-
ference with Admiral Capps, chief Of
the Emergency Fleet corporation. The
men sized up each other, smiled In a
satisfied way and shook hands. There
was nothing said just then, but both
men understood that no clashes Of au-
thority, no technicalities and no trite
matters of etiquette would be allowed
to retard the governments shipbuild-
ing plans.
Began to Make Things Hum.
With a full understanding between
himself and Admiral Capps, the new
chairman, fairly bristling with energy,
began to make things hum. E1e sur
rounded himself with men just as
forceful and earnest as himself; he
conferred with all the big shipping
men in the country; he made new plans
for speeding up work; smoothed out
wrinkles that had retarded the old pro-
gram-in short, he was there and ev-
erywhere, giving a shoulder to the
wheel whenever and wherever occa-
sion seemed to demand. He tackled
every problem fearlessly and quickly
let the shipbuilders, ship owners, con-
tractors and labor unions know that
he was working for Uncle Sam, and
would not be bluffed or bullied by any
body.
Mr.. Hurley does not have much to
say, but when he says it he means it,
and people move quickly. If Presi-
dent Wilson told him it would be neces-
sary to dig up the state of Texas and
move it over to Europe in one piece,
Mr.. Hurley would tackle the job-and
very likely would find some way to
accomplish the task.
And that is the reason why the
United States will have something like
100000 deadweight tons Of carrying
capacity on the seas by next spring
with which to ship troops and supplies
to Europe to win the war.

Portrait Of Henry VII.

An interesting art discovery has
lust been made at Geneva, Switzer-
land, by a Luxembourg antiquarian
which, if confirmed, will fill vacancy
in England's historical records. NJ
Jean Bervard has found a miniature
on wood which he Identifies as por-
trait of Henry VII, the first of the Tu-
dor dynasty. No portrait of this mon
arch is known here to exist in any
museum or private collection.
Mr.. Bervard, without giving details
as to how or where he discovered this
unique work, says that it was painted
by Godfrey Tory de Bourges (1S40-
1888, and is the only painting known
by him, although he was an egraver
and drew Illustrations for four his
torical works.

Utilization of Waste.

The utilization Of waste in the
battle-wrecked parts of France has
been reduced to a science. All the
pieces Of shell, cases, unexploded
bombs, haversacks, helmets, canteens,
and even old rags are picked up and
sent down to the base to be utilized
in some form or another. At one
spot $4,000 old shoes were being re-
paired when q war correspondent
visited it. The upper part Of an old
shoe is often converted into shoe
laces by an ingenious machine invent
ed by an Irish shoemaker. One thou
