QUARANTINE ON AT
 CAMP BEAUREGARD
Everything Closed Down As a Result of Spinal Meningitis, General Health Conditions Showin Improvement.


 Camp Beauregard, La, Jan T. There is in effect here a sure enough air-ti2ht, proof quarantine. Not only is the camp in quarantine, but the city of Alexandria is also under ban. Q trains are running between town and camp except the necessary mail express and freight cars. Of- ficcrs who have been living in town either have to remain in camp or town-there is no more going ba f and forth And there is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth among the merchants of Alexandria, In the camp the men are confined to their company streets and there are no gatherings allowed-and the canteen is barred.
 This quarantine is not due to an increase of sickness among the sol diers, as there really is less than for some time. An outbreak of measles and spinal meningitis in Alexandria, resulting in two deaths, was the cause of the state health officers closing things there while the camp was shut up as d precautionary measure. The usual crop of wild, unfounded rumors at once began to circulate through the camp, the most popular one being that the quarantine was put on in or der to move the soldiers on their way to France without anybody knowing it. There is no foundation for such ideas, although 1t is generally believed that the artillery regiments will go before the other units.

GUILTY GO FREE
Germans Responsible for Atroc-
tiles May Escape Now.
Article 6 of the Armistfce
Terms May Aid Them.

Washington, Nov. 14.-Germans re-
spensible for unspeakable atrocities in
Belgium and elsewhere may go scot
free, under amended article six of the
armistice.
Without having definite information
of the purpose of this article, some
state department authorities so inter-
preted the sentence therein reading:
mo person shall be prosecuted for
offenses of participation in war meas
ures prior to the signing of the arm
istice.''
This was held by some to mean that
if any Germans were left behind in
France or Belgium, the governments
or peoples should not take retribution
on them for crimes they committed
beyond the pale of war laws. On the
other hand, some interpreted the laws
to mean the peoples Of evacuated ter
ritories should not be punished in any
way for participation in the war,
either actively or in sympathy with
either side.
The clause has aroused indignation
in some quarters on the theory that
it means those who ravished Belgium
will escape any punishment. The
clause was the result of American
allied deliberation evidently and i. the
Interpretation given here is correct. it
means that the Versailles conference
has struck a new note in its idea of
a stern, just peace.

into service of the government. He
WI commissioned a brigadier general

tieth brigade, composed of the 13sth
and 140th infantry regiments. The
14Oth regiment was a Missouri unit,
while the 139the regiment was COM
posed of men from Kansas and Mis-
souri,. General Martin went to France

nous Twentieth Kansas as a captain
and came home with the rank of ma
jor. He was elected to the state SEN
ate from Bourbon county and in 1910

tions include the former First and
