the 133rd infantry, of the American
army, is now officially in Europe.
Captain Chase sent message to
his wife stating that he had arrived

The company as it left Keokuk
long ago has been badly disarranged.

pany were transferred to the old
third regiment, Iowa national guard,
in August, 1917. This regiment after
ward became the 16Sth infantry, and
this year won a place in the history
Of the world war by its fighting In
France.
Men were transferred from the
company, a few at time, until it
had lost most of those who left Keo-
kuk with it. 1t has been at Deming
most of the time, and lately started
for Europe. The arrival there of
Captain Chase places 1t officially on
foreign soil.

HOW RUssIA's RICH ARE LIVING.

Westminster Gazette. The question
is often asked how the dispossessed
rich are living in Russia. The answer
is that most are reduced to absolute
beggary. A few who have had large
deposits in the banks are allowed to
draw a very small sum, but since the
banks have been nationalized" that
is entirely at the discretion Of the
government and the amount permitted
to them is not sufficient to support
life literally at present prices.

LONDON, Oct. 81 British Admir-
atty Wireless) .-Resolutions unani-
mously passed last week at the con-
ference of French, Italian, Belgian
and British sections OF the inter
allied parliamentary committee were
as follows:
First, that it is essential that the
nations now united in the fight fo-
| liberty should maintain their close
and cordial association until the dan
gers still threatening have been re-
moved by complete overthrow OF
the enemy powers, and the risk OF
recurrence in the future of disasters
such as have now befallen mankind
has been averted.
Second, that 1t is of paramount
Importance that the governments
now associated in the fight for lib
erty should forthwith proceed to pre-
pare in consultation schame for
the establishment after the war OF
machinery designed to secure and
develop a society of nations as a
proper means for attaining a durable
peace, guarded by the Joint action
of free nations.
Third, that the reconstruction OF
central Europe must be on the basis
of nationalities, regard being had
both to the right of the peoples to
determine their own destinies and
to safeguards essential to the peace
Ct Europe.
Fourth. that the losses OF mercan-
tile tonnage due to the submarine
warfare should be made good as tar
as possible by the transfer OF enemy
tonnage. ~'fs'
Fifth, the committee urges upon
the governments associated in the
war the necessity Of constituting an
inter-allied Independent air force for
the purpose of overcoming, If need
be, the last resistance of the enemy
by a campaign of raids over his ter
ritory, and suggests that the most
effective method of accomplishing
this would be by common industrial
control of the production Of aero
nautical material.
Sixth, that the committee requests
the associated governments to set
forth with a commission to make
proposals for the international aerial
legislation with the object of organ.
