AUDUBON COUNTY SOLDIER
DIES FROM HIS WOUNDS

Arthur Ballou, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Ballou, of Audubon township,
died at the hospital at Railway, N.
j., last Monday afternoon. Private
Ballou was among the first young
men from the county to enter the
service. He landed in France on
July 4th and Immediately went into
the trenches. The latter part OF
July he was wounded while in ac-
ton and was taken to the hospital
Later when it was found that his
wounds were serious he was brought
back to the United States and
placed in a hospital at New Port
News, Va. Later he was taken to
the Red Cross hospital at Railway,
N. j., where he remained until his
death.
His remains were shipped to Extra
yesterday and this afternoon at $3.50
O'Clock funeral services will be held.
He was about % years of age, and
was born in Cameron township. He
was a splendid young man, highly
respected and loved by all.
He answered the call to his coun-
try and entered the service soon after
the United States became involved
in the world war. He was eager to
go. He evidently was with the thou
sands of Americans who were rushed
to the front late in July to stop the
German on-rush which threatened
Paris. While he lost his life in the
attempt, he had done his country
and the civilized world a service that
can never be repaid. All honor him
for his glorious deeds, and all join
in Borrowing with the parents, one
brother. John four sisters, Mrs.
Oral Jones, Haywarden, Ia; Mrs.
Erne Everets, of Audubon. and Sadie
and Ella, at home, in the loss of one
who gave his life that others might
live

PARIS AWAITS THE
ARRIVAL OF WILSON
HE WILL LIVE IN A NAPOLEONIC
ATMOSPHERE AT MURAT
MANSION.

When President Wilson starts
work in his study in the Murat man.
sion, Paris. all parts of which are
now ready to receive the dis
tinguished guest from the United
States, he will be surrounded on all
sides by the likeness of Napoleon. A
marble bust of Napoleon is on ped
estaf directly in the rear of the desk
at which President Wilson will work.
Eve wall panel has upon it paint
ing either of Napoleon or one of his
generals or of their families. The
simplicity and elegance of the study
are impressive.
MANY of the priceless works of art
and other ornaments which were re-
moved during the long range bonn
bardment by the Germans of Paris
have been returned to the mansion.
In every room, in every hall. there
is some object to recall the days of
Napoleon
The presidents study on the sec
ond floor has a large bay window
and a massive mahogany desk, and
a few chairs which sit in the window.
The room is furnished in red and
contains a low row of book cases on
one side. In the center on heavy
wood pedestals are large golden
eagle and bronze statuette of a
charging French Dragon.
The presidents bedroom adjoins
his study. 1t is large in size and
it's walls are of blue. The three
quarter size bed which President Will
son will occupy is mahogany, inlaid
with brass and is shaped like a gon-
dola. The bedroom also contains
pictures of Napoleon. principally
when he was emperor. Hanging over
the bed President Wilson will occupy
is a silver crucifix.
At the side of the bed is an Ameri-
can electric light and modern
American telephone. These modern
instruments look strangely out of
place amid the furnishings of the
room. many of which came down to
the Murats from Napoleon and once
we're used by Napoleon.
In the presidents suite in the
dressing room adjoining the bOudoir
is large bath. 1t is not the kind
Americans know. Instead of tile the
floor is covered with carpets of great
thickness and there are pictures on
the walls. The presidents suite oc-
cupies nearly the entire second floor
of the house.

WANTS ALL ENGLAND
ON FIRING LINE
Lloyd George Expresses
Confidence in Seeing Fru-
ition of Peoples Sacrifice
SENDS MESSAGE OF
HOPE TO ALLIES

LONDON, Jan. premier Lloyd
George. in his New Years message to
the nation. appeals to all at home to
do their utmost for the cause for which
the democracies Of the world are
leagued together, especially by practic-
ing economy and saving money to lend
to the government.
His message concludes:
To every civilian | would say that
your firing line is at the works or Of
flee in which you do your bit; the shop
or kitchen In which you spend or save:
the bank or postoiilce where you buy
your war bonds. To reach that firms
line and to become an active combatant
yourself, there are no communication
trenches 10 grope along, no barrage to
face, no horrors, no wounds.
The road Of duty and patriotism is
clear before you. Follow II and II
will lead ere long to safety for our own
people and victory for our cause"
The New Years message sent by the
premier to the United States and made
public last night is similar in tenor to
messages sent TO all the Entente ma
lions except Russia The premier
thanks them all for the fortitude OF
their military and naval forces. The
communication to the United States
is the only one which mentions the
league Of nations standing as tie guar
dian OF justice and liberty. The dis
patch to Japan is somewhat shorter
than the others, mentioning only that
nations naval services. All Of them
except the ones sent to America and
japan close thus:
No words of mine can adequately
our sense OF what we owe TO
the forces which are lighting and suf-
fering so that those behind the lines
may enjoy liberty and peace. We can
only thank them from the bottom Of
our hearts, in full confidence that the
new year will see the frultion Of their
sacrifices in victory"
In his message to Italy Mr.. LLOYD
George adds the following:
The successful stand made durine
he last month by the Italian troops.
1espite the recent reverses, against the
and desperate enemy as
iaults, filled the world with admiration.
am confident Italy will not only with
stand all further attacks, but will ere
ong strike another mighty blow for
he liberation not only Of their own
country, but Of Europe, from the mill
artist domination which has menaced
