tlon that President Wilson 10 In
England's pay: that . soldier at
Camp Funston says he receives one
slice o. bread and four beans at meal
time. and that others write they are
ill-treated.
"a person with one spoonful OF
bzrains wouldn't believe any one OF
these three stories for . minute.
There Is no need to deny the state
ment concerning President Wilson.
Ask the next soldier you meet how he
has been fed at Camp Funston. or
any other army cantoment, and how
he was treated there. That will nail
the last two lies.)

field. Mo-. writes that a story is cir
culated there to the effect that SOL
diers at army cantoments are not
compelled to eat either beef or pork
which is left from meal to meal and
thus Cause the waste of hundreds of
pounds of meat every day. Mr.. Win
kle. one-time soldier himself, knows
this story has no truth, in fact, but
he says there are lot of narrow
minded persons who believe 1t.
This lie has been nailed previous
ly In this column. There is a mini
mum of waste In all army camps.
Probably lot of persons believe one
set of cooks prepare meals for every
man in camp. AS a matter of fact,
each company of soldiers has its own
mess outfit and rations are appor-
toned according to the number of
men to be fed. This brings about q
minimum of waste,)
Lie No. 75-Word comes from Fal-
con, Mo-, that pro-Germans are cir
culating the story the Government
will compel every man and woman To
Ito buy Thrift Stamps and Liberty
and that the Government also int
tends confiscating without compen-
sation all the walnut timber In Am

| (The Government urges everyone
to buy Thrift Stamps and Liberty
Bonds. It is not compulsory. But the
man or woman who doesn't purchase
either-who doesn't lend his or her
Government every possible cent
is a traitor at heart and should be
watched. As for the walnut timber
It's too absurd to even deny. II the
Government needs walnut timber II
will buy IT. and more than likely al
the owners own fgure.)

Contemporary Dance Music

Horatlo Parker in the Yale Review
 In contemporary dance music we can
 md cause for hope and despair. Gone are the beautiful waitzes, the mazurkas, even the sprightly polkas. We see a buriy negro or his intellectual equivalent beating on bells, gongs, pans. or various other articles of kitchen furniture with weapons of different weights and mate rial, to the extinction of any possible musical sense. 1t is naked African rhythm and no more But am told that tnis phase is passing. and 1 recently heard with rather pathetic gratitude the exotic, velyety voice of tender, sax opnone among dance players. I like dance music we'll done. When the per- cussion instruments allow one to hear it, sucn dance music as we have is not with out interest or hope. Barring the saw age rhythm and the noisy battery, there IS new richness in the voca bulary of harmony and new grace in n1elodic out line. Foxing to Dvorak's "Humoresque" Is modern version Of risks taken by advanced dancers many years ago in waitzing to Nearer, My God to Thee" It IS as matter of taste undui1itably bad The common contrapuntal addition ol- the -4Suwalee River. to 9ovorak's s graceful melody. is a tribute, perhaps a grlmace, to musical erudition.

l -Guadeloupe and Martinique-early in j the war heard the call from Europe. and i began immediately to send their sons to
 help make the mother country safe for | Frenchmen. Today they stand drained of their best men.
 Visitors to these islands are at once | impressed with the many war-made crip- ples as well as with the numerous men in uniform who are to be seen about the streets of the little towns. Each
 month a transport comes from France,
 bringing, on furlough the men who have served year in France, and returning to their homes the soldiers who have been incapacitated for service. On the days when this boat comes in little
 Basse Terre, Guadeloupe, is astir with excitement
 The soldiers are met at the docks by their families and friends and given a very warm welcome back to the native land. For many days the streets are specked with groups of soldiers and home folks, one telling of experiences in France and the other deeply inter- | ested in every word. Most of the sol- diers are negroes, for out of a popua- tiop of 160,0Oo, 96 per cent are blacks. 1 More than 1900 of these native sons already have gone to France. 1 The streets of the little town are in teresting because of their quaintness.
 
 Frenchmen, possess bits of architectural 1 features that are suggestive of certain | thoroughfares in the French capital. I he stores and the windows follow designs
 and decorations popular in the country 1 towns in France.
 i During midday Basse Terre ceases ac- { tivities for two hours, The terrific heat
 makes everything unbearable, and the
 wise citizens leave their shops for homes to rest there in the cool comfort of the shade All the Basse Terre residents who can afford such homes have their residences in the mountains at the back of the town. The governor of the Guad- eloupe has one of the show places of | the island, 200o feet above the sea. The
 American consul also lives in the noun 1 tains, where there is escape from the annoying heat of Basse Terre. 1 Few islands in the Caribbean exceed l Guadeloupe for natural beauty. Along 1 the military road, which connects Basse
 Terre and Pointe-a-Pietre, nature has | been extremely generous The woods shade the highway for miles, while in other spots the highway runs along the sheer edge of the mountain, permitting a long view down to the sea, and then along the shore for miles.
 | It was from Martinique, sister island l of Guadeloupe. that Josephine, the wife ! of Napoleon, came. In Guadeloupe lived l the sister of Josephine. She came rrre,

| 1t IS recorded, after quarrel with the famous Josephine. In the little hamlet ] or BaSSe Terre she established a home, | later marrying retired French officer, who had come to Guadeoupe on a ms sion from Paris The beauty of the young woman was irresistible, and the
 French officer resigned his position and settled down in the mountains, near Basse Terre. Today guides of Basse Terre are anxious to show visitors the little home where Mary Chis was the
 name of Josephine's sister, passed many years in the happy atmosphere of her husband and family of six children. Guadeloupe, discovered by Columbus in 1493. was named by the great navigator as compliment to the monks of the monastery of Guadeloupe in Estrema dura. The island has had an interesting and, at times, very exciting existence. It was first occupied by the French in 1635, and, in 1759, after much fighting ill which hundreds of lives were sacrificed, it was captured by the British. For
 many years after 1765 there was con stant fighting for possession of the is- land, first the British being defeated and driven off, and then the French, after getting control, being served in like ma nner.
 Today there is much demand among citizens of the island for annexation by
 
 acquired the Danish West Indies, many of the other islands would like to come under hts rule. The natural position of the United States with respect to the Caribbean sea makes this country the natural guardian of the islands lying therein. Any of the Atlantic ports Of the United States are nearer to the
 French and British possessions of the Caribbean than are the home harbors of France and England. Because of our proximity to the Caribbean, therefore, it would be much easier for us to care for these none too prosperous islands. We could feed them better, use their pr oGucts more quickly and give them every assistance in greater quantity and more generously than. the European powers Perhaps. after the war. France and England will reward Uncle Sam for his aid in whipping Germany-perhaps we shall receive certain desirable islands as gifts.

Crook Who Took a Chance on the Rope" We'll Paid

Would you take a chance on the rope for real dough?"

Selexart production teemng with thrills to be distributed by Goldwyn, which will be shown at the Alcazar Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
 Dolan, a corrupt political leader, who had long lived on the proceeds of vice, is stunned by the news that the dis .trict attorney has raided some places under Dolan's supposed protection. Des- perate, he turns to his aid in crime and delivers himself of the startling ques- tion as clamly as though killing pros eoutors was an ordinary function for a thieving politicians assistant
 After moments thought. DoIan's lieutenant is seen shaking his head in assent. but makes his chief understand that though he can hire man, to mur- der. it must be at the sIayer's price Fearful lest he be overheard, DoIan writes S20,000 IS the payment for the murder. Knowing he has Dolan at his mercy, his slave in crime is shown pen ,ciling ss5O.0oo' as his price. Without the slightest argument. Dolan agrees to the figures. adding that he wants the job done quickly-that night. if possible
 Here is shown the district attorneys office, with the prosecutor questioning group of men and women caught in the raid. In an empty loft of a build- ing adjoining the district attorneys of flee, Dolan's assistant is seen with rifle in hand aiming through the open win dow. He fires and the prosecutor falls with bullet in his arm. Believing he had committed murder. Dolans man es- capes. Later he is suspected when the police fail to find him in his usual haunts. He is captured and confesses that Dolan was the instigator.
 The latter is arrested at his home by detectives led by the district attorney whose tarmless sleeve is mute evidence Of how close the criminal came to "the rope for real dough-
