Government Insurance Popular

Frank FARRELL Visits Sons and
Tells of Camp Conditions.

Volunteers, However, Have No
Use for SmiIeage Books.
Poor Sanitary Condition Bars
Them From LawtOn Shows.

Every man in the both field artil-
lery, the Kansas regiment at Camp
Doniphan, holds a $4,000 govern
ment life insurance policy, according
to Frank FARRELL, publicity agent for
the Santa Fe railway, who returned
this morning from a visit with his two
sons, Archie, a member of Battery A,
and Sanford, a member of the head
quarters company of the regiment.
FARRELL said that every man in the
regiment except one purchased the
policies after the officer in command
had explained the idea. After spend
ing fifteen minutes in the colonePs Of
flee that one man emerged with a
sheepish grin and, walking straight to
those in charge, wrote out his apph-
cation for a policy.
The men in the Kansas artillery reg
lment, according to FARRELL, are getting
the best of care. The quarters are
clean and sanitary. The men are con-
charged with an idea that the troops
are to leave for overseas service
shortly.
Had Plenty to Eat.

farrell, I'VE had so much that could

Then, too, there is a variety of food.
There is not a profusion of variety, but
there is variety enough.
1.-The men have their athletics. The
men have but little use for the smile
age, books, because there is no place
to use them at Camp Funston. An or
der has been issued by the command
ing general forbidding the soldiers to
attend Lawton picture shows, because
the show proprietors refuse to comply
with rules and ventilate their theaters.
This order is enforced. A soldier

HOLD COURT MARTIAL
Medical Officers Will Be Called on
Carpet at Doniphan.

Camp Doniphan, Ok, Feb. 23.-In-
vestigation into conditions at the base
hospital at Camp Doniphan has been
finished and two reports sent to Wash
ington. One investigation was con-
Quoted by the division inspector at
the request of Maj. Gen. William M.
Wright and the other by a representa-
tive of the inspector generals depart
ment. They>covered ten days. Findings
will not be made public here. If given
out the news will come from Washing
ton.
1t is understood a general court
martial proceedings may be held as
the result of the probe, and that one,
and possibly more, medical officers
will be removed. Just where the
lightning will strike is not known pub
Hcly, but definite action is expected
soon.
Conditions at the base hospital were
brought to light by letters read before
the senate investigating committee by
Senator Chamberlain, and one specific
case, the death of Albert EASTWOOD,
son of a Kansas minister, was given
publicity. Conditions at the hospital
were bad for some time, but since
General Wright has returned from
France, and a new head has been OBJ
tanned for the hospital, improvement
has been marked.
Complaints from the base hospital
now are a rarity, while before they
were the usual thing.

By If1f7i ZUf1WALT
THE. INVASION OF RUSSIA

the German government If it were
permitted to succeed, the influence of
it's example on the German proletariat
would be highly demoralizing. From
the kaiser's point of view Bolshevlkl
government crushed by the German
mailed fist would be wholesome OBJ
ject lesson to the German masses.
Enlarging German ConqueStS.
The more Russian territory Ger
many holds at the end of the war the
more she will have to trade for con-
cessions from the western allies at
the peace council. If the war ends in
a draw she will be able to keep all she
has taken. And if she must yield in
the west the more of Russia she holds
the easier it will be to give UP Belgium
and northern France, and. if worst
comes to worst, Alsace-Lorraine.
There Is Only One Front.
In this war there is only one front
of real importance. 1t was necessary
to use some troops in Egypt to protect
the British line of communications
thru the Suez canal. Aside from that
it is quite probable that it would have
been far better for the allies if they
had confined their efforts to the Bel
gian, French and italian fronts. If
the British in Mesopotamia and the
British and French at Salonika were
nov on the line in France it would be
possible to strike a blow that would
haps end the war. 1t is an open ques-
ton whether these side issues have
not hurt rather than helped the cause
of the allies.
At any rate the war will be won or
lost between Switzerland and the
North Sea. The biggest battle of the
war will begin on that front within a
few weeks, perhaps even before this
reaches the reader Last Thursday
was the second anniversary of the
great assault on Verdun. If Germany
does not strike soon the allies will.
1t is quite possible that the Russian
campaign is partly feint to cover the
much advertised offensive on the
western front. 1t will be remembered
that an offensive against Russia has
been used several times for that pur-
pose. Only last fall the capture of
Riga was the forerunner of the sur
prise assault on Italy.
Keep your eye on the western front
with side glance at Italy, Salonika,
Palestine and Mesopotamia. But re-
member that whatever happens else
where the war will be lost and won
between Switzerland and the North

PATRIOTIC WOMAN
OFFERS HER HAIR TO
GOVT FOR MUNITIONS

Washington, Feb. 23.-Out of the
many offers of personal sacrifice
which reach the government one made
known today attracted more than
usual attention.
1t was an offer to the war depart
ment by Mrs. Bridget Quinn, of Con-
ifer, Pa, to give her hair and her little
daughters hair for use in the muni-
ton factories if the government need
ed them.
Secretary Baker wrote Mrs. Quinn
a personal letter acknowledging her
patriotism but saying such a sacrifice
was not at all necessary.
Evidently the woman had heard of
the use of women's hair for betting on
munitions machines in Germany.

He built his first working model
