Red Gross Will Help

What Chapters should do for dis
charged Soldiers:
/. Generalization The American
Red Cross has been informed by the
War Department that demobiliza-
ton Of Military Forces at camps in
the United States has begun and will
continue at the rate of 500men q day
from each camp.
The War Department has suggest
ed that the American Red Cross ex-
press the appreciation Of the Alneri-
can people to discharged soldiers en-
route homeward. H'his a privilege
which the Red Cross should be
prompt to embrace.
2. Government Plan: Preliminary
information is to the effect that each
man will receive pay to time of his
discharge, In addition he will re-
ceive 37c per mile travel allowance.
At each camp non-transferabe tic
kets will be on sale at two thirds
regular coach rate. These tickets
will be good from camp to each mans
home, or to the point of induction.
Tickets will cost approximately &c
per mile, leaving DC per mile for ex-
penses enroute.
3. Organization of Chapter Com
mittee. In view of the nation wide
plan for welcoming home the dis
charged soldiers, each Red Cross
Chapter should organize committee
composed of the Chairman Of Chap
ter and the Chairman OF Canteen,
Home Service and Publicity. The
duty of this committee is to initiate
a movement to prepare a suitable
program Of welcome. It should "a
promote the organization Of Com
munity Welcome Home Committee
~ coordinate the activities of the
regular Chapter committees on Can
teen, Home Service and Publicity,
and 60 establish a "Welcome Home
Roll" containing the name of every
returned soldier.
4. Community Welcome Home
Committee: This committee should
be appointed in cooperation with
the Qhaass Of Commerce. other
patriotic organizations and also the
Mayor of the city. 1t is suggested
that the function OF the Community
Welcome Home Committee should be
to arrange for the public decoration
of railroad stations and other public
places, and for the undertaking of
any special community activity on
behalf Of the returned soldiers.
Red Gross Obligation: Soldiers
should be made to feel that they are
heartily welcome and that their re-
turn home is of sufficient moment to
Announce it to their fellow toWnsmen
through the press. 1t is also priv
ilege of the Red Cross to represent
the community in acting as an en-
rolling agent and caring for the sol
der and his family at the time Of
his return.

Navy Assigns ~ Ships
to Aid in Yanks' Return;
Being Fitted for Purpose

Fourteen battleshipS and ten cruis-
ers have been assigned by the Navy
Department to help bring American
troops home from France.
The work of altering the battle
ships to fit them for transport work is
being rapidly completed, and several
of them already are in service. All
Of the ten cruisers have been fitted up.
The Navy Department announces
that one has sailed from Brest with
it's first load of troops. Another is at
Crest and two of the battIeships are
reported to have left Brest with
| troops.
The battleships assigned for this
service are among the older on the
Navy list In order that they may

Another story, that reads like ro-
nance, Of how American energy, ap-
piled to the science of modern war
making, outwitted in eighteen months
the Flooding German achievements OF
thirty years, soon will be disclosed
with the publication of the American
discovery of non-inf.ammab1e gas for
use in balloons.
The prologue has its setting in
Kansas town, time 1902, where the
housewives complained that the nat

housewives, but boon to aeronautics,
which may revolutfonize the uses to
which dirigib1es may be put.

ocean. At pre-war prices that ship
ment would have represented cost
Of s240,000,000, but as the result of
applied science by Americans it was
had for only 4 few thousands.
Britain Hats z ,ppelin Activity.
But that is getting ahead of the
story. Even before the United States
entered the war England had put stop
| to the ZeppeIins' conspicuous activi-
| ties by the use Of flaming bullets,
made either of phosphorus OF mag
neSium and antimony. Hence the Yep
pelins were driven to doing their raid
| ing at night, and to patroliing the
seas to spot vessels for U-boats to de-
stroy.
The British east about for a way
by which their own balloons might
fight the German type successfully and
concluded the only means was to pro-
vide a gas charge which would rem
der the allied aircraft impervious to
! flames. Just about then the United
States entered the war, and this mark
ed one of the occasions where the al
! lies decided to "let Uncle Sam do it.
Discovery of "Records.
In searching for gas that would
not burn the records of the tests made
of the Kansas product were discov-
cred. A chemist had found the gas
that caused the complaints from Kan
sas kitchens contained what he be-
lieved to be helium. Helium is indi-
, suns minerals by spectrum analysis
and the spectrum of the Kansas gas
suggested a similar substance.
i Previously a commercial use had been
| made of the supposed helium content
| which came to be known as argon-in
electric light bulbs and in the audion,
| Or spark gaps, Of wireless instruments.
But it's production cost was from SO
| cents to 81 per cubic foot, and it takes
! IS, 600 cubic feet of gas for an ordinary
balloon and million or two cubic feet
| for dirigible.
The bureau of mines was called upon
and it reported that Texas gas wells
contained gas with a larger proportion
Of argon than those in Kansas. So
plants were started down there. and
by a process of refrigeration, worked
out by scientists of the national re-
search council, cooperating with Off
GERS of the Army and Navy. argon was
produced at comparatively low cost and
stored in iron bottles under 1000 pounds
pressure for shipment abroad. The proc
ess consists of putting the natural gas
under a temperature of 800 degrees or
more Fahrenheit, below zero, which con-
yerts the other elements into solids or

POLICE FOLLOW CLUES
IN WARREN MURDER
Four Women and Five Men Are Ar.
rested in Connection
With Case.

Four women and five men, all col
with the investigation of the murder
of Alexander w. Warren, colored pho
tographer, at sol Florida avenue. whose
partly cremated and badly battered
body was found in the woods cast of
Lincoln road near Trinity College and
Glenwood cemetery Christmas after
noon. 1t is not suspected that any one
of them took part in the murder, it is
said, but detectives believe some of
them are in position to throw light
on the tragedy.
Detectives Sweeney, Baur, Jackson,
Beckley, Grant, Armstrong and Evans
are working on the case. Last night
they were able to report having made
some progress in the investigation of
enough advanced, however, to enable
them to lay hands on the slayer, but
hope something will break to disclose
his identity in the next day or two.

Much has been learned about the
photographer and his movements the
last few weeks. 1t was learned by the
detectives that he had paid visits to
week ago, possibly only few hours
before he was slain, he was specta-
tor at game of craps in a house on
S4th street.
A companion of Warren, who was
with him that night, is said to have
left him in front of the house in which
the game was played. Warren entered
an automobile in charge of a white
chauffeur, the detectives were In
formed, and was driven away. That
was several hours before he appeared
at the house of Jesse Powell. 2022 9Th

for an automobile ride. Powell was
asleep, according to his wife. and was
not told of the visit until Sunday
morning. Identification of the chauf-
feur is being sought by the detectives.
1t seems certain that Warren was
robbed after he was killed. Mrs.
Warren told the detectives her hus-
band had about $40 when he left
home, but not a cent was found near
the body in the woods.
The fact that diamond ring worth
$3.50 was on one of the fingers of the
dead man is not conclusive evidence
that robbery was not the motive. ac-
cording to the police, Detective

Detectives say it is possible that the
murder was committed for revenge.
