just returned to a so-called rest
camp after having been in the trench
es three weeks, during which time we
went over the top quite frequently on
various patrolling and raiding parties
which we carried out with great sue
cess. As a matter of fact, the past
couple Of weeks have been mcst glo-
rious for US fellows, for we certainly
did hand the Dutchmen an awful beat
ing all a,ong the line, taking thous-
ands cf prisoners, s1aughter.ng them
in drovcs, besides driving them back
a good fnany miles.
Life on the firing line is quite Differ

cows and chickens, horses and mules,

nothing compared to ducking bullets

A GREAT ARTIC EXPLORER
RETURNS AFTER FIVE YEARS

Juneau, Alaska, Aug. 28.-Vilhjal-
mur Stefansson, Arctic explorer and
discoverer of the Blonde Eskimos",
was at Circle City Monday night on
his way up the Yukon and to the out
side via Juneau and southeastern
Alaska, according to advices received
here today.
Stefansson has spent over five years
exploring and studying barren Arctic
wastes for the Canadian government.
A new continent or large island was
found by Stefansson on the trip just
closed. The new land is north of
Prince Patrick island and was found
in 1914.
Stefansson last saw the outside
world when he sailed from Victoria,
B. c., June II, 1918, at the head of an
expedition in search of new lands
which had been reported to have been
seen far to the north of any eyniore;
area. He also intended to study the
topography and ocean currents oI tl4e
north and gather flora and fauna.
For almost two years nothing was
heard from Stefansson and it was b.
lieved he was working his way east
ward. Suddenly he appeared near
Herschel island, off the Canadian Arc
tic coast, in 1918, and reported h. had
found more new islands.
One of the secondary objects of Ste
fansson's trip was to navigate the
northwest passage to the Atlntic and
end his rip with an ascent Of the S..
Lawrence river to Montreal in 1917
1913. In this he failed for reas-
ons not clearly determined.
Although the war had not started
when S.efansson left, in 1913, he
plans to enter war work, according to
reports, and will tour the Uni+ct,
States and Canada giving lectures for
the benefit of the Red Cross. Al
though he hopes to go back to the
Arctic, he has no definite plans.

arguments to the effect that he has
no real power and that our president
has far more, etc, but our president
is the head Of our government because
the people elected him, while George
is king of England because he was the
son of Edward who was king before
him. From our point of view that is
mighty poor reason for man being
the nominal head of a great people.
Not so many years ago, if our memo
ry serves us right, Alfonso, of Spain,
wanted to abdicate and run for presi
dent of his country. He wanted to be
the ruler by the will of the people in
stead of by circumstance. of birth.

BLUE GOWNS ARE BUSY
Restoring Manned Soldiers to
Trades, Their Job.
Reconstruction Aids" Coax Wasted
Muscles Back to Their Nor.
NAL State.

Observation-Disclosures, nurses and
healers too, are the "Blue Gowns" Of
the army medical corps, at work now
in the hospitals of the United States
and ''over there"
Reconstruction aids is their official
name, but the CHEEKY hue of their dis
tinctive uniform already has won a
handler name for the special corps of
seventy women whose membership
treats and teaches among the manned
soldiers brought back from the battle
front. Theirs is the work Of coaxing
back the wasted muscles and disused
limbs of wounded men, and later by
patient tutoring instilling deftness in
new arts and vocations which the hos
pital schools are planning for the re-
turned soldier.
Most of the "Blue Gowns" were re-
cruited from the instruction staffs Of
manual training schools and civilian
hospitals.
Beside table young fellow in
uniform was carving a conventional
flower border on a wooden picture
Frame" says an official description of
their work. "The design was his own
and the work was his first piece. He
.Yas inclined to be clumsy because he
was Using his left hand. A Blue
Gown was ready to guide and advise
him. AS he becomes adept in left-hand-
ed carving he is preparing for the time
when he again will begin to draft, this
time with his left hand. This mental
concentration upon new task is be-
lieved by doctors and psychologists to
be a valuable antidote for discourage
ment.
AT the same open-air workshop one
man was knitting scarf. One group
of men, temporarily crippled, were
carving designs upon wooden blocks,
and several were learning to weave up
on hand LOOMS"
In the treatment rooms inside the
''Blue Gowns" were guiding electrical
appliances and administering the COM
plicated series of treatments that per-
feet the restoration work started by
the surgeon at the front.

comrades of the Potsdam garrison
to place themselves at the disposal
Of the new government in Germany.
.Maarn, Holland, Saturday, Nov. IL.
Count Charles Won Betinck, son of
Count GODDARD, in an interview today
declared that his father was unaware
of the intended coming of the for
mer German emperor until last Sat-
urday when the Dutch government
telephoned asking him If he would
receive the exile. The count acccded
to the request as q duty to the
Dutch government.
The former emperor's host seems
somewhat embarrassed over the
delicate charge given him. as his
family has considerable English con-
nections. Count Charles said that
he asked the former emperor:
'Well, how long will you remain"
"That depends upon the Dutch
government" was the reply.
There are no indications that the
former crown prince intends to join
his father.

AMERICAS THIRD ARMY

washington, Nov 18.-PreSs dis
patches last night from Paris brought
the first definite information that Gen.
Pershing had organized the ThEd
American army. At the war depart
ment 1t was said that there was no in
formation as to this organization of the
expcditionary forces.
In the absence of specific information,
it was assumed that the Third army Is
composed OF troops lately sent to
France and those who have not seen a
great amount of active service at the
front. If such is the case, 1t is made
up largely of national army men. Since
more than 100000 American troops
have been sent overseas. 1t Is to be ,ex-
pected that this army numbers at least
500, 900 men, as the First and Second
armies have about 100000 men each.
AS soon as the occupation of the Ger
man territory assigned to the American
forces is completed, the First and Sec
ond armies probably will begin to pre-
pare for the return journey to this
country. Secretary Baker has said that
the war department desires to return
the units home in the order Of the
length OF their service in the fighting,
and. II this plan is followed. the First
army will be the first to return home.

PARLEY OVER PEACE
T0LASTLO TIME
INFORMAL CONFERENCES
BEING HELD DAILY.
Allied Chieftains Marking
Time and Watching Inter.
nal Developments.

Paris. Nov. 1S.-The peace con-
ference will be in session for two
or three months, according to
authoritative opinion expressed here
today. The delegates will meet In
France. but II Is not yet decided
whether the conference will be held
at Versailles, on account OF its his
toric associations. or Paris, which is
the more convenient for the transac-
tion OF business.
That the parley will last for some
time Is made evident by the COM
pleXity Of the problems involved.
At the present time informal con-
ferences are being held daily. but
the allied chieftains are generally
marking time. meanwhile watching
closely the internal developments In
Germany and waiting to see that
Germany carefully carries out the
conditions of the armistice.
1t seems probable that the next
session of the inter- allied council at
Versailles will examine the internal
situation In Germany carefully.
The exact portions OF the line to
be held by the troops OF the allies
and the United States when the Ger
mans fall back have been determined
though no official statement has
been made on the subject. It Is
probable that the advance will be
generally forward from the lines
held at present, though 1t Is believed
here that the French will exclusively
advance through Alsace- Lorraine In
order to begin as soon as possible
after peace Is declared. the work of
rehabilitating the French institutions
there.
The exact program OF the peace
preliminaries is not yet certain.

MAKE WORLD FORGET GER
MANY'S PART IN WAR.
Eckhardt Doing Utmost to
Make Mexico Hostile-Not
Past Dangers.

Washington, Nov. 18.-G0vernmen'
agents see evidences that German
propaganda machinery in the United
States Is being put in working order
again to promote sentiments Of le-
niency toward Germany in peace
terms. Consequently department OF
Justice officials today warned that
the public should remain watchful
against resumption of organized
propaganda by interests formerly ac-
lively pro- German and for the past
year passive.
Concerted movement is apparent,
officials say, in utterances of many
individuals and a few organizations
formerly active for German interests.
and some newspapers. There Is no
organized leadership. 1t is believed,
but local interests have taken their
cue from official pleas from Germany
for lcniency In armistice and final
peace terms.
'Il Danger Considerable. .
In the interest of the government
agents combating enemy propaganda
at this time 10 not to suppress free
expression OF opinion, 1t is explained,
but to fight any concert of propa-
gandists whose purpose would De 10
confound the authorized spokesmen
of the nation in the forthcoming ne
gotiations. Officials say during the
reconstruction period there may be
considerable danger from enemy
propaganda working to make the
nation forget Germany's course dur
Ing the war.
illustrating the attitude that the
war and it's dangers are not yet over,
it Is stated that department of JUS
tice agents have ordered the intern
ment of some Germans since the ar
misticc was signed week ago.
Still Actively Engaged.
Official reports show German rep
in various parts OF the
world still actively engaged IN
spreading propaganda to create and
a feeling of hostility toward
the United States and the 9llied
countries. Eckhardt. the notorious
ambassador at Mexico City,
again Is reported doing his utmost
to make Mexico hostile to the United
States. and is able TO have mislead-
Ing articles published in the semi
official Mexican papers. Recently he
had published throughout Mexico
hat the German army had not been
and that the German navy
was still fighting the allied navies.
