In the animal cage hauled through
the streets in the wake of the MethO-
dist carnival parade last night we no
ticed among others three banker ami
mails: E. NJ. Richardson, A. R. Kane,
R. f. Dresser. Bill Wyatt had evi-
IDENTIFY escaped. Probably he belong
ed to another specie more or less car
niverous and perhaps, untamed. But,
withal, banker is used to being be-
hind u cage and these fellows looked
appropriate in the parade and were
quite a feature of attraction. 1t is q
noteworthy fact that after being lib
Grated from the cage the bankers
mingled with the crowd without harm
ing anyone or making any manifesto
tions of their pound Of flesh" eating
characteristics, which all goes to show
that the banker animal may attain
quite Il degree of civilization.
Leslie Gallagher, Of Columbus, who
is a nephew of Phil. C. Metzler, of
Baxter Springs, in u letter written
home the other day from the front
lines in France says a German pris-
oner made the following statement:
1--WE had been told that this time
that nothing would stop US from 60
ing into Paris. We were getting
along fine until all of a sudden we
stopped. We did not know what had
happened until three days later we
saw the Americans" He says further:
"The orders we received before going
into action we're, In this, the bloodiest
battle the world has ever seen, the
-divison does not retreat"
Enlisting October Sth, with only one
desire-to get to France as fast as he
could-getting in one of the best
trained regiments in the regular
friends of some past experiences.
After being on almost every French
battle front in the past eight months,
his division helping TO stop the Hun
on their march to Paris, in one Of the
bloodiest battles the world has ever
known, he advises his boyhood friends
to follow in his footsteps. He scores
the slackcrs and strikers and says if
they could only see for one month the
heroism of real men as he has seen it
on the battle fields, they would surely
he ashamed of themselves.

NEVER TOLD OF HONOR.
British King Extends Thanks &c
Modest American Ambassador.


New York, July lit was re-
vealed for the first time today that
Ex-Governor Myrop r. Herrick Of
Ohio, chairman of the National FL
nance committee of the War Camp
Community Service, has received
from the British government "a piece
of old English plate together with an
appreciation from S4r Edward Grey
Of 'the great assistance rendered by
you when, as ambassador to the
French Republic, you remained in
Paris after the departure of the
French government and the British
embassy. and extended your protec-
ton to the many British who turned
to YOU for aid and advice"
Although the message was trans
mitted by the former British Ambas-
sador Sir Cecil Spring Rice in May,
1915, Gov. Hcrrick never consented
until now to have this honor made
public The message of transmission
said in part:
Ills majesty's government desires
to ask your acceptance of this piece
Of old English plate which they hope
viii serve to you and yours as me-
mortal of the eXertiOns which you SO
lcyotediv and generously employed
on behalf of British subjects, both
soldiers and civilians, in that time Of

MAY RATION TEA.
England Considering Working Out
Nation wide Scheme of Conservation.

London. July 17.--Thc British food
controller is considering the advisa-
bility of rationing tea on a. national
scale.
Tea is now rationed under local
schemes in Great Britain covering
about hale tho total population Of
the country. The question of extend
ing it throughout the nation has
arisen in connection with q change in
the distribution scheme. Tea is at
present being distributed on the basis
of the trade done by retailers and
wholesalers in the year ending June
80, 1916. Owing to movements of the
population and other causes, this
system is no longer satisfactory, and
a new one is to be installed this
month. based on registration Of GUS
toners with retailers, in order to ad-
lust supplies accurately to local re-
quirements.
Since March, 1918, all the tea dis
tributed in England has been Ma
tional Control Tea, bought on gov
eminent account in India and Cey-
lon and retailed throughout the coun-
try at the fixed maximum price of
sc cents q pound. AS part of the
new scheme of distribution it was
necessary OH May W hAtlNc JIG
present maximum price of tea q
fixed price below which it may not
be sold, in order to prevent customers
now registered with the dealer from
changing to another who may have
cheaper tea. - If it proved possible to
reduce the retail price in the future,
the reduction will be made universal
and will benefit the whole popula-
ton.

MI ST CURTAIL SUGAR.
Hotels and Restaurants Ordered to
Remove Open Bowls From Table

Hotels and Restaurants Ordered to
Remove Open Bowls From Table.
Washington, July 17-Once more
the sugar bowl must come off the
hotel and restaurant dining room
table. For several months the food
administration has observed that, one
after another, public eating places
have gradually been restoring the
open sugar bowl which was taken off
in a hurry last winter when the sugar
shortage was at it's height.
Because of the foresight of the
food administration, it's sugar certiti-
cate distribution system will prevent
any extreme recurrence of q sugar
stringency this summer At the same
time, however, when everybody is be-
ing practically rationed for their
sugar, bottlerS, cOnfectioners, ice
cream makers, hotel and restaurant
keepers, bakers and merchants, Fed
Cral Food Administrator Robert SEQ
Vile is determined there shall be no
open invitation for the unnecessary
spoonful of sugar in a cup of coffee
To this end the food administration
made it known today that restaurants
and lunch rooms that have turned in
exceptionally large acquisitions for
diners to help themselves to as much
sugar as may be left in the open
bowl, are running the risk of having
their sugar allowance radically cur
tailed, if not cut off alt0gethcr.
