MAI. GEN. PARKER
-
TO LEAD BADGERS
DIVISION COMMANDER HAS REP
UTATloN OF BEING MAN
OF ACTION.
KNOWN IN ARMYAS LONG JIM
Was Colonel of Volunteer Regiment In
the Philippines and His Rise tias
Been Rapid Troops to
Travel in Large Units.

Camp Douglas Maj. Gen. James
Parker, who will command the Elev
enth division composed of Michigan
and Wisconsin troops, is known in the
army as Long jim" because his legs
are lengthy and none too straight
President Wilson has promoted him
from the rank of brigadier general to
major general, and he will join the
Badger state troops at Camp MacAr-
thur, Waco, Tex.
Col. E. N. Jones, mastering officer
here, knows Gen Parker intimately
and Gen, Charles r. Boardman has
met him on several occasions. He is
described as tall, rangy and soft spo-
ken. He is striking in appearance, and
has the reputation of being man of
action. He was colonel of volunteer
regiment in the Philippines, and his
rise has been rapid.
Under his command, the Eleventh di-
vision may be subject to experiments
during the encampment in Waco. His
record shows that he is a man Of ideas,
and is not timid about experimenting
to improve the efficiency of his com
mand, although he may see little that
needs changing in the Wisconsin
troops that will come to him.
1t seems almost certain that when
the guardsmen move from here that
they will be sent TO Waco by regi-
ments. although no announcement to
this effect has been made. Any at
tempt to move all the units would tie
up more equipment than any railroad
could probably spare.
The soldiers travel one man to a
seat, which gives some idea of the
number of cars that would be neces-
sary If Uncle Sam asked that about
$4,000 men be moved in day.

London, May 1.-The British dipio-
matte and consular services seem like

to be filled by ex-officers of the army
or navy and the feeling seems To he
growing that the chief qualifications
should be service in the war.
At present these sevices are either
not operating at all. as for instance
In enemy countries. With the close of
the war, there will be the big task of
refilling the vacated embassies. lega-
tions and consulates of the belligcrent
countries and to find new men to re-
place the over worked and harassed
officials in the latter.
Those who favor the infusion Of new
energy into the diplomatic and con-
sular services after the war and who
believe that the men who have offered
up their lives on the firing line should
be given preference, advocate starting
preliminary training for them at once
There is a movement on foot to make
preparations to draft a selection of Of
ficers into embassies and consulates
without delay for immediate service

HALF-FORGOTTEN RACES
REMEMBERED IN WAR

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Petrograd, April 29.-The war has
brought into Petrograd, for the first
time in their existence, some of the OBJ
scure half-gotten races which inhabit
the Trans Caspian regions, the frozen
reaches of the north, and other remote
provinces of the Russian Empire. Most
Of these savage people are as FAR re-
moved from civilization as their an
cestors of 1000 years ago and, though
nomically belonging to Russia, nave
enjoyed none of the privileges OF gov
eminent protection conferred upon the
other foreign races which occupy re-
gions in the central portion OF the En-
pire.
Appeals are now being made to the
government to take all possible meas
ures to preserve and protect these
tribes, who are fast becoming extinct,
leaving some of the most fertile and
richest parts Of Russia untenanted ana
neglected.
Among these races are the Votiaks,
Tungusi and the Samoyeds all Of which
occupy lands rich in varied produce
and which contribute considerably to
the resources Of the country. 1t Is ar
zued that IL no precautions are taken
to prevent the extinction Of these races
which is being FASTENED by scuryy and
other disease, lands which they occupy

ter of c. c. Burke of Stetson. was in
Bangor on her way to Castine, where
she is a student at the Castine Nor
NAL school, She was to leave for Cas-
tine on the 2 o'clock boat. There is no
knowledge that she took the boat for
Castine. In any event she did not ar
rive at the school and naturally her
relatives are very much worried as
they have received no information con-
corning her and no word from her.
Mrs. Burke accompanied her daugh-
ter to this city from Stetson and they
were doing some errands on Main

or heard from by her relatives. 1t is
believed that shortly after leaving
her mother she entered the jewelry

tine do not remember any young wo-
man answering the description Of Miss
Burke making the trip on that day, al
though as many Of the Normal school
girls were returning to school, they
are unwilling to state absolutely to
the contrary.
completely. There seems to be no trace
Of her at the hotels or at the hospitals
and her relatives are absolutely at a
loss. They state that she appeared to
be in excellent health and contented
They supposed that she was at Castine
until they received a telephone mes
sage from the school authorities ask
ing why the young lady had not return

Miss Burke is 80 years of age and has
been engaged in teaching for a number
of years. including schools at Richmond
and at Lee. She gave up her teaching
at Richmond year ago in order to take
some special courses at the Castine
Normal school, which she entered at
the beginning of the present school
year.
The missing young woman is tall and
slender, five feet and seven and one
half inches in height and weighs about
