FOR HISTORICAL FILE

tionnaires, which have been filed out
and returned to local draft boards.
are to be kept az historical records
In war department vaults here.
Practically every man in the Unit
ed States, between the ages of Is and
45, has filled out one of these blank
forms, thereby placing himself at the
service OF the government in the past
emergency. The only exceptions are
those near the age limit OF 45, who
were the last to receive the question
naires. Those which were not filled
out before the armistice was signed
have been returned to the provost
marshal generals office.
All questinnaires are to be sealed
and kept for reference, 1t was stated
today. Chief among the uses to
which they will be put are:
First-Will be used in connection
with other data to aid war risk in

soldiers due to receive allotments for
injury or service.
Second--Will provide a record for
men eligible to enter organizations

The missionaries will not be used
to keep the government informed as
to the occupation, earning capacity or
character of registered men. 1t was
pointed out. Nothing of this sort is
or has been contemplated by the gov
eminent.
Reports have been circulated at va
rious times, since the seleetive service
act was put into effect. that the infor-
nation gained through the filling out
OF the missionaries would be used
to public advantage. This would be
impossible, 1t was stated at the pro-
vost marshall generals office. be-
cause the records are to be sealed and
only opened at the request OF the 2 ar
son whose record Is In question.

the balance went for other activities
OF the organization.
This wide distribution OF relief was
made possible because in less than
eleven months the American people
gave more than $500 900 900 to the
American Red Cross, by far the great
est sum ever contributed by any
nation for humanitarian work. This
total represents the proceeds OF the
two Red Cross War Fund and one
Membership Drives. In the 1917

added $24. 500 900 to the grand total.
The cost of collecting the amount
raised in the 1917 War Fund was but
seven tenths of cent for each dol
lar. It Is believed the expense OF
collecting this years War Fund will
be in the same ratio.
The report concludes with a state
ment of the precautions taken to
safeguard Red Cross funds. An in
teresting part of that statement fol-
lows: There ia a provision in our
charter which requires that we shall
make each year to the Secretary OF

TWAS A HAPPY BUNCH
WHEN FIRING CEASED.

W. G. Harding OF Battery b. 146th
field artillery. in writing from France
to a friend in this city, under date
Of Nov. 21st, says:
Just few lines TO tell you how
happy and how glad we are that the
war Is over and how anxious we all
are TO come home. However, it is
not all over. We have big mission
to fulfill and / can't tell how long 1t
ID going to take, but / don't think 1t
will be longer than six months. al
though that is a long time to wait
over here. We sure were a happy
bunch when we received the news
that the armistice had been signed
and that the firing would stop at IL
O'Clock. We were all singing and
dancing and doing everything else
l that men would do in happy time
of this kind, for we had been doing
some hard fighting and wonderful
work. We were in some fierce fight

are certainly thankful and fortu-
nate bunch.

escaped. Although we are through

days. How did the folks at home

ing, / guess. received two of your
letters on the 18th. and was very
glad to get them as they helped to
make the day happy one.
We sure had the Huns on their
way back home when we received
he good news. 1t has seemed strange
worry about where the next shell is
going to hit. The sun has been shin
ing for three days and 1t looks good
to see the moon at night through

THE FLU.

Here are two poetical illusions on
the flu, which viii no doubt be APP
preciated by thoes OF our readers
who have had it, Tne authors are
unknown, but il lis evident that both
have had a tussie with the mysteri-
Gus and dreadful disease:
When your back Is broke and your
eyes are blurred,
And your shin bones knock and your
tongue is furrsd,
And your tonsils squeak and your
hair gets dry,
And you're doggone sure that you're
going to die,
And you're skeered you won't and
afraid you will,
Just drag to bed and have your chill,
And pray the Lord to see you thru,
For you have got the flu, boy,
You've got the Flu.
When your toes curl up your belt
goes fat.
And you're twice as mean as a
Thomas Cat,
And life is q long and dismal curse,
And your food all tastes like q hard
boiled hearse,
When your lattice aches and your
heads a-buzz,
And nothing Is as IL ever was
You've got the flu. boy,
Here are my sad regrets to you
You've got the Flu.
What is II like. this Spanish Flu?
Ask me, brother, for I've been thru,
It Is by MISERY out Of despair.
II pulls your teeth and curls your
hair.
1t thins your blood and breaks your
bones,
And fills your craw with means and
groan.
And sometimes maybe, you get well,
Some call &c FIu,-
I call IL He'll.

Suits the La Nacion.

Suits the La Nacion.
BUENOS AIRES. Argentina, Sep
TENDER 30.-Commenting editorially
on President Wilson's speech. La
Nacion says:
President Wilson's speech is a new,
solid statement of the principles he
has repeatedly proclaimed. But this
may be considered more important
than any of his other speeches be-
cause it constitutes direct, binding
answer to Austria's recent peace
drive. and therefore it will be useless
for Berlin and Vienna to again sug-
gest a peace by compromise. Presi-
dent Wilson's statement is conclusive.
Another portion of his speech that
is worth particular notice. is the ref
erence to the world struggles pres
ent meaning, whereby the President
shows that no nation, whatsoever,
may continue to regard the situation
indifferently after taking into con-
issues. The most important OF these
issues must be the guarantee to weak
peoples that they shall receive the
same rights as the mighty. But the
greatest enterprise of the conquerors,
and President Wilson has not the
slightest doubt who the conquerors
will be, is the organization Of the
league Of nations.
"Is the Presidents ideal, perchance,
too beautiful, too difficult of realiza-
tion?, May be SO, but mankind has
suffered so greatly as result Of this
such sufferings were not followed by
new organization, which would
carry with it the promise of a future
less darkened and less painful"

tigation Today-Recently Was

Secretary Lansing Warns Ger.
many Not to Garry Out Threat.
q. s. to Continue Use.

Brief. prompt and to the point was
Secretary Lansing's reply to the Ger
man threat to execute American SOL
diers found with shotguns or shot
gun ammunition.
IF the German government should
carry out its threat in a single inr
stance" says Secretary Lansing's re-
ply. cit will be the right and duty of
the United States to make such re-
prisals as will best protect the Ameri-
can forces. and notice is hereby given
Of the intention Of the government of
the United States to make such re-
prisals."
Useless Suffering, Theory.
The Swiss legation had handed to
the Department Of State q memoran-
dunn from the German government
protesting against the use of shot
guns as violating The Hague conven-
ton prohibiting the employment of
arms designed to cause useless suffer-
ing.
With characteristic one-sided argu-
ment, the Germans failed to note that
the article of the convention upon
which they relied also forbids cruelty
and terrorism, in which may be in
cluded the use of chlorine gas and
the saw-toothed bayonets of the Ger
mans.

Analogous to Machine Gun.

In point of fact, the shotgun is held
to be analogous to the machine gun
and to shrapnel.
So far as is known here. shotguns
have been employed by American
troops in France only in police work
and in repelling trench raids. officers
say they have been very effective in
meeting enemy attacks because they
furnish a scattering fire at point
blank range and the roar of them
