Frank H. King. a Columbia boy. who

BOONVILLE MARINE 4 HERO
For Heroic Action Near Very Pri-
yate LOtSpiech Was lIOnOred.

When the Allies were making the
great counter attack near Very, July
10, that was to lead to the gradual
rolling up of the entire German fore
es, Private Orr Lotspiech, a marine OF
BoOnyiIIe, Mo, was called upon to act
as a courier. Hiss field of endelvOr
ranged between the farthest advanced
front line and the support position.
The machine gun bullets were driv-
ing across the terrain like sleet be
fore a gale. The heavy artillery was
crashing.
He made trip after trip. Then a
cry-that faded to nOthingness in the
thunder of the artillery and the rat
thing whine of the machine guns. y
machine gun bullet caught him in a
leg. He was out of action. but his
message had been delivered Up there
in front they were obeying the orders
that he had carried them. But back
at the post command they did not
know, would not know until Private
LOtspiech could tell them. Slowly
painfully he raised himself on his
hands. Then. foot by foot, he began
to drag himself back to the post com

Three Missouri Men Now Stationed
There.
Lieutenant r. p. Brandt. graduate of
the School of journalism of the Uni
yersity, is now stationed at Camp
Lewis. Wash. In a letter received
here today he tells of two other Mis-
souri, men at Camp Lewis. One of
these is Robert Simpson, second lieu
tenant in the 44th Infantry and divi-
sional instructor in grenade throwing.
Another is Leland Rea, a former stu
dent in the School of Journalism. Rea
is graduated from the School of Fire
at Fort Sill, Okla. He is in the 37th
Regiment.
Lieutenant Brandt writes that army
life is sure great" He says he has
gained about twenty pounds. Camp
Lewis, he says. is an ideal camp ex-
cept for the rain. There is no infiu-
enza in the camp. Every precaution,
however, is taken against il. Even
Seattle is barred to the soldiers.

FIGURE COST OF SOLDIERS
At Home II Is 1922 and Overseas Si23
a Year for Each Man.

Statistics have been collected by the
clothing and equinge. Subsistence,
conservation. reclamation and hard
ware and metals divisions of the quar-
termasters corps. United States Army,
to indicate just what it costs year
to maintain a soldier overseas and in
the United States, says the Army and
Navy Journal,
These show that the cost is S423.4I
a year TO equip and maintain a SOL
der overseas and $327.7S to equip and
maintain one in the United States
Subsistence. figured at sixty-nine
cents a day, amounts to $251.S5 yearly
for each man overseas; figured at fiji
ty-twO cents day in the United States
it amounts to $iS9,S0. The cost Of
the initial equipment for the soldier
the first year in the United States is
Sll5.30, while the cost of his addi-
tiOnal equipment for the first year
overseas is $4241.
Thus it appears that if the soldier
going overseas did not take with him
great deal of his equipment already
supplied in the United States the con-
traSt between the cost of equipping
and maintaining a soldier in this cOun-
try and abroad would be much more
marked. Not only is the amount of
equipment needed abroad greater than
that needed in this country. but the
statistics of the conservation and re
clamation division show that equip
ment and clothing overseas are sub
Jest TO much harder use, wear out
more quickly and are less effectively
reclaimed than similar material,
clothing and equipment used in the
United States The amount of re
clamation of each individual soldiers
equipment in this country is $3.50 a
year, while the amount of reclama-
uon Of similar material abroad is but
1891.

requires that the authority of the pub
lie law must be reasserted with a pun
ishment so memorable. because so
dreadful, that the offenses will not be
repeated.
For the correction of specific in
famies. he adds, international law does
not exclude the castigatiOn of guilty
individuals, however highly placed.
Material injuries may be made good
by the payment of a pecuniary in
demnity. and if it be objected that an
impoverished nation has no money
with which to make good the conse-
quences of its crimes. il may be ans
Wered that the claims of the guilty
nation to be paid interest on money
supplied for the purpose of those
crimes may be justly postponed to the
compensation Of the victims. The
doctrines of international law afford
abundant warrant and precedent for
both these standpoints.
Finally. the attorney general SAYS,
the assumption that the Central Pow
ers will be represented at a pence
conference in the sense that the Allies
are represented would seem to re
duire very considerable qualification.
The Central Powers. he suggests.
should be present in the later scenes.

possible. every farmer and poultry

of eggs. and to sell one case to a
nearby consumer to preserve. This
plan, when put into operation. the de-

The water-glhss method Of preserva-

eggs should be put down In water glass
