Vice President Thomas r. Marshall
had a busy time in Moscow and made
a deep impression while he remained.
He and Mrs. Marshall were guests of
honor at delightful luncheon and
reception at the university in the
early evening; Mr.. Marshall delivered
an able address later in the evening;
this morning he reviewed the cadet
battlion, planted tree on the uni
versity campus and delivered an ad-
dress at a special student assembly
This morning he and Mrs. Marshall
left for Spokane on the Northern Pa
cific.

Mr. Marshal insisted that this is not
a rich mans war. He said that con-
scription had taken into the army as
many rich mems sons as poor ones. He
said the rich were doing all in their
power to win the war.
1t is no time for party politics in
the opinion of the vice president. He
said he had declared a moratorium
on all his political debts; that from
this time forth while the war lasts
he is just a plain, unvarnished Amer
ican: that the only question he has to
ask of any man is, Are you an Amer
lean and are you back of the American
flag?"

er startling illuminating facts concern

Of the American Medical Association.
"The total number Of rodents cap

writer. "Some idea Of the immense Ia.
