In 1898 the death rate in the
regular army from all causes was
2O.14 to the thousand. By 1900
it had been reduced to 7.78; by
1916 to 5.13; and by June of this
year it has been cut to Ala. That
is probably the lowest army death

is better than the record of the

IN TRIPLE TRAGEDY
Jap Farm Hand Kills Two Women
and Himself.

Hutchinson, Kan, Dec. 23.-Mrs.
Glenn Smell and her 15-year-old
daughter, NNla, living near Lerado,
Reno county, were murdered some
time Saturday by NJ. Takashishi,
Japanese farm hand employed by
Glenn Smell, husband and father of
the murder victims.
After Staying the woman and girl
the Jap went to his own bedroom and
blew out his own brains with a shot
gun, He had removed his left shoe
and fired the weapon by pulling the
trigger with his toe.
Glenn Smell had been hauling wheat
all day Saturday and returned home
after dark. Upon entering the house
he first discovered the body of his
daughter lying in a pool of blood in
the dining room. In the kitchen. be-
side the stove, he found the body of
his wife. Suspecting the Japanese.
Smell went to his room and found him
beside the bed with the top of his
head blown off and the gun beside
him.
The coroner was called from Hutch
inson and after viewing the bodies, de-
cided that it was a clear case of dou-
BILE murder and suicide and that 1t
was unnecessary to hold an inquest.
1t is believed that infatuation for
the young girl was the cause of the
Jap's crime. He had been employed
by Smell as farm hand since last

Third American Army Gets

American Army of Occupation, Dec.
23--The German authorities began
turning over to the American Third
army large quantities of war material
which will require several trains to
transport. Included in the artillery
given up by the Germans aye 76O guns
of large caliber and nearly three thou
sand machine guns. 1t will take one
train to carry the machine guns alone.
The other guns, ranging from 1908
to 21O's, will require at least three

been sent into the interior for re-
pairs, as the terms of the armistice
require that all the artilley be turned
over in first-class condition.
This is the largest amount of ar
tillery turned over to the Americans
under the armistice and it is esti-
mated it will require a week to inspect
and receipt for all the equipment.

845 PLANES DOWN
American Aviators Sent Mary

491 of the Number Were Gaa:

Washington, Dec. 23.-AmericaR
aviators downed S45 enemy planes
during the war. Of which 491 were
confirmed and 354 were not, accord-
ing to information reaching the war
department today.
Major General Harboard, in a cable
to the director of the air service thus
summarized the work of United States
flyers and the scope of the operations
Of the air service.
On the day the armistice was signed
thirty nine American aero sQuadronS
were in operation on the west front.
Compared with the enemy's loss
271 American planes were brought
down.
Casualties suffered by the service
total 442: of these 100 were killed, 103
wounded, 200 missing, 27 prisoners
and 3 interned. This was considered
low in view of the fact that there
were 24,512 men of the service on the
actual front. The total air strength
in France was 5000, including those
brigaded with the French. English
and Italians.
The report shows that 6.472 planes
were received by the A. E. F. FROM
September, 1917, to November, 1913.
Eight schools of instruction were
established in France, designed to
train $500 officers and II, 100 men.

BLOCK The PLAN

Continued from Page One.l
as one Of the elements in the proposed
machinery for preserving world peace
but this reference to the plan in his
Sorbonne speech has set public men
to talking.
No announcement has been made
as to how far the conferences between
Mr.. Wilson. Premier Clemenceau.
Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister
Sonnino have gone but French public
men have declared that their pre-
mier's talks with the president were
entirely satisfactory. 1t is also be-
Leved Mr.. Wilson has made substan-
tial progress in his conferences with
Italian statesmen.
Speaks to People.
President Wilson, pursuing his pol
icy of the freest discussion of peace
covenants. will deal directly with the
people of the allied countries. Thus
will millions participate in the pre-
liminary conference and make their
influence felt at the Versailles con-
gress.
To reach this vast audience, the
president will make public speeches
in England and Italy, 1t became known
today, in addition to speaking thru the
medium of the press. He will pursue
this course while comforting with the
allied statesmen.
That President Wilson already Is
getting the ear Of the allied peoples
is indicated by the hundreds of letters
he has received from all classes ex-
pressing sympathy with his policies
and promising him support.
Clarity American Position.
The president believes such a course
will clarity the American position and
make plain Americas peace aims. He
is confident that my this means he can
show the people that the American
program will be developed so as to
assure a just peace for all. This pro-
gram, he believes, will appeal particu-
larly to the liberals and thinkers of
Europe.
The situation of the small Euro
pean nations is deeply perplexing..
Many factions are seeking the presi-
dents ear, believing he can best serve
their particular interests. The presi-
dent will adhere to the principle of
self-determination pointing out that
these factions should get together and
determine their united aims.
The conflicts between the aims of
Italians and Jugo-Slavs and the Poles
and Lithunfans stand out as perhaps
the most unsettled conditions in
Europe. The president is expected to
discuss the situation in these countries
with all concerned during his visit in
Rome. While there the president will
call upon King Victor Emmanuel and
Pope Benedict and will visit the
Methodist college.

Of framing the terms, and the final

Congress Will Hear From Sol
diers of Equipment Lacking,
Said Some of the Charges Are
Extremely Serious.
18th DIVISION HIT HARD
Lost 1000 Men Due to Insuffi-
cient Battle ParaphernaIia.
20 Per Cent Officers, 80 Per
Cent Men Out in ) Days.

Washington, Dec. 23.-Congress is
beginning to hear from soldiers re-
turning from the battle front circum-
stantial accounts of numerous num-
ber3 of casualties suffered by various
divisions of the American army be-
c u of lack of proper Equipment for
offensive warfare.
Some of the charges are extremely
serious and their authors have been
requested to reduce them to writing
for presentation to the senate by a
number of the committee on military
affairs. 1t is not unlikely that the re-
suit will be an investigation by the
senate committee of the entire ques-
ton of the equipment of the Ameri-
can divisions that were on the firing
line up to the signing of the armistice
on November IL.
One member of the committee said
today he has been informed that thou
rificed for want of a sufficient supply
&C ordnance and machine guns.
35th Was One Case.
One of the cases cited is that of the
S5th division, composed of Kansas and
Missouri National Guards.nen, which
broke the Hindenburg line in a bril-
liant operation costing 1000 casual
ties, it is alleged. In this advance
1t is asserted the division had prac-
tically no tanks and went forward
without effective artillery. machine
gun and airplane protection.
THE men of the 35th were simply
moved down by German artillery and
machine guns" said this senator's in
formapt, who was with the division at
the time. THE Germans were out of
renge of such artillery as the 35th had
at it's disposition. The division was
also short of tanks aId machine guns.
The 35th lost 70 per cent of its Off
GERS and 80 per cent of its enlisted
men in five days.
LAS soon, however, as our men came
to grips with the enemy it was all
over with the Huns. They had gone
thru a perfect hell of enemy fire. UNI
able to protect themselves, but when
they came to close quarters, American
bayonets soon routed the Germans.
So fierce was the onslaught of the
Yanks that they went five miles be-
yond their objective and had to re-
treat upon finding they had created
a salient and were receiving fire from
three sides"
Equipment Was Lacking.
The lack of proper equipment of the
division was attributed in part to the
fact that the Americans had taken
over a complete sector of the line and
were compelled to rely upon their
own supplies and such as the allies
could spare. When brigaded with the
French and British, the American
units had had the benefit of allied
artillery and airplane protection.
