he refused to "neighbor" with anyone.

had been several fires In the township.
Buggy-wheel tracks were seen in the

a number of sacks of wheat that were
loaded at the old keytesville landing
ready to be shipped to Kansas City
were cut one night and thousands of
bushels of grain lost. The same
wheel tracks were seen near the land

medicines from herbs of the forest and
made prophecies to the country folk
Who he was or where he came from
no one ever knew. He gave his name

true identity. His prophecies of death
and calamity came true so surely that
the people of the vicinity accredited
him with the powers of a wizard and
feared him.
1T Is said that he predicted the pres

the early seventies that "in the last
part of the first quarter of the new

stripped of their cleaners, as they will
be fighting Il foe on n foreign soil, with

That Argentina Will Soon
Break With Central Powers
Is Now Regarded Certain

Buenos Aires, February president
Irigoyen had a long conference today
with the ministers of war and foreign
relations in regard to the sinking of
the Argentine steamship Ministro Ir-
riendo. 1t was officially announced
that no reply has been received from
the military attaches in Berlin and
Vienna. who have been recalled but
the extremely long conferences and
the absolute reserve of all officials
concerned leads to the belief in po-
litical circles that the government has
news which compels grave delibera-
ton. This opinion, in fact, was general
in all the government circles tonight
II is believed by persons who have
exceptional means of ascertaining the
trend of political affairs that the Ar
gentine government at this time is
planning an actual breaking Of rela.
ticns with Germany, but they believe
that the necessary preliminaries in
the cabinet and the Congress will oc-
cupy about month. These observers
expect that rupture is certain to
take place before the congressional
elections in March

GEN. MARCH WILL
BE MADE ACTING
Chief OF STAFF
Artillery Officer, Now in
France, Said to Be Per-
sOnal Choice of
Pershing

Washin gton, February 2.-Speeding
up of general staff activities is expect
ed to follow the appointment of Mai.
Gen. Peyton c. March as acting chief
of staff of the nrmy. announcement o.
which depends only on advices from
General PershinE that the officer can
be spared from his duties chief of
artillery of the expediti0nary forces.
Secretary Baker would not discuss his
plans today, but it is known that he has
determined upon General March as the
most suitable officer to take over the
work of this important post. General
Bliss. the staff chief, will remain in
France as the permanent representative
of the United States on the supreme war
council, which determines policies to be
carried out on sthe various war fronts.
Both officers and civilians who have
returned from France recently have
brought back word of the impression
General March had created by the en-
ergy and skill displayed in organization
of his own branch of the service under
General Pershing. Private messages from
France have indicated that the American
commander approves the selection and
will not block General MARGINS appoint
ment but so far as known, no official
reply has come from General Persnlng,
Coming from many months OF close
contact with the fighting front in France,
General March will be able to put into
his task as head of the army all the
Knowledge he has acquired as to modern
warfare. He is reputed by his fellow Of
ficers to be a man of quick decisions, a
quality regarded as vital In a successful
chief OF staff Upon that official rests
tho burden of seeing to 1t that the va
rious bureaus of the department, as well
as the line of the army work out their
problems in harmony.
During the time that General Bliss and
his predecessor, Maj-Gen- Hugh l.. Scott,
were absent on foreign missions, there
has been a tendency for important pa
pers to become clogged in the general
staff office. 1t has been difficult to get
final decision on even urgent questions
as the officers acting were said to be
hesitant about going outside any policy
laid down by the actual chief.

So full of woe, so filled with pain
That soul goes CROPPING zone in place OF

To learn anew until I see

For mine own who was part of me.
