TO RETAIN OFFICERS

A statement has been issued from
the war department at Washington,
saying that steps to retain permanent
ly in the army officers commissioned
from civil life who have displayed
marked ability in the service are be-
ing considered by the general staff.
Plans for the rehabilitation of Off
GERS, it was learned today, are being
shaped with this end in view.
The first of the approximately 16O,-
900 men in the officers corps released
will be those who are anxious to sever
completely their connection with mil
itary life. Applications from these
men for release, officials said, will be
acted upon promptly.
Consideration, it was said, next will
be given to applications from of1cers
who wish to return to civil life, but
70 retain their status as reserve Off.
GERS subject to call for a period OF
wears. General staff officials believe
that a large portion will follow this
course, thereby giving the United
States an adequate supply Of compe-
tent reserve officers for the first time
in history.
In passing officers back into the In
active reserve list care will be taken
to hold to the last officers who desire
to apply for commissions in the reg
ular establishment and whose records
show them to be n.ted for regular
army life.

CAN'T SUE STATE
WITHOUT CONSENT

WASHINGTON, d. c., NOV. 22.-
Suits cannot be 'rought against the state
OF Ohio without the states consent. not
Withstand Sec. 10, Art. /, of the new
state constitution provides.
Suits may be brought against the
state in such courts aud in such manner
as may be provided by law.
This decision was handed down by the
United States supreme court in the case
in which Albert Palmer and other cIti-
zens of Mercer county sought to sue the
state for damages for flooding lands BY
elevating the spillway of state main
tanned dam. The defence to the suit
was that the state had not consented to
be sued.
The Ohio supreme court held that the
to the state constitution
quoted above was not self-executing and
that the general assembly, having failed
to designate the courts and manner in
which the suits might be brought effec-
tive consent to ue had not been gwen.
The United States supreme court in
the appeal for want of juris-
diction says:
THE rights of individuals to sue
state in either federal or a state court
cannot be derived from the constitution
or laws of the United States. II can
come only from the consent of the state.
Ohio gave the required consent
must be determined by the construction
to be given the constitutional amend
ment quoted and this is a question of
local state laws as to which the desicion
Of the state supreme court is controlling
with this conrt, no federal right being
involved.

AFRAID OF ICE CREAM
French Children Taste New Dish
and Cry, ut Is Hot"
But Young France Soon Learns to Like
II and Hangs About American
Camps.

Paris.-Ice cream is a new dish
to the inhabitants Of France.
Some Of the big city dwellers may
have had passing acquaintance with
1t, but the rural folk and those in the
villages saw their first ice cream made
in the American army camps.
Many Of the permanent American
camps in the service of supplies have
made ice cream regular feature, the
regimental canteens turning out the
frozen delicacy for several hundred
men.
The introduction of ice cream to
the French peasant children has been
productive of much amusement to the
American troops. The youngsters think
1t is hot.
One of the men of an engineer regi-
ment took a mess kit full of Ice cream
to a French farmhouse. One of the
small boys took big teaspoonful. A
look of panied amazement came over
his face, and, emptying his mouth of
the frozen cream, he ran screaming
to the protection Of his mothers
skirts crying: "Chaudl Chaudr"
(Hot HotD
The other children who had watched
rather horror-stricken the fate of the
first became convinced that the ice
cream was some sort Of a white fire
and they would have nothing to do
with 1t. The mother had to eat virtu-
ally all Of the cream in order to in
duce them that it was cold rather
than hot and that when not taken too
fast was good to eat. Eventually, the
children ate the last Of the dish. But
they partook Of it gingerly, evidently
greatly mystified that anything which
first seemed hot then cold could be
good to eat.
But In time the kids got to liking
ice cream and they became as great a
nuisance around the camps asking for
ice cream as they had been before
in seeking chewing gum.

TABULATEO BY MARCH
Total American Casualties to Nov. II,
When HostiIities Ceased.


Washington, Nov. 25.-Total Amer.
can casualties to Nov. II, when hos
tilities ceased, were 236,117. This in
cludes killed and died of wounds, died
of disease, unclassified deaths, wound
ed prisoners and missing. General
March. chief of staff, gave out the
figures.
While the total casualties suffered
by the American army in France at
first glance appeared to be almost
double the total estimated by officers
here as probable, analysis of the ta-
BILE, it was pointed out, shows that
among the $4,000 wounded are in
cluded the names of thousands of
men whose injuries were so trivial
that they never were admitted to
hospitals. The final total of killed,
died of wounds or disease or on the
unclassified list, the seriously wound
ed and the prisoners and missing,
officers believe, will work out not in
excess of $4,000.
Casualties sustained by the Amer
leans were tabulated by General
March as follows: Killed and died of
wounds, S6,154; died of disease, A.
S11; deaths, unclassified, 2,204;
wounded, 1855; prisoners, 2,163;
missing, 1,160 Total, 236,117.

DICK HEADS MOVEMENT
League Would Run General Pershing
For President.

Columbus, Nov. ga movement
to make General John j. Pershing,
commander of the American expedi.
tionary forces in France, the next
president of the United States, was
formally launched in Columbus when
Charles Dick of Akron, former United
States senator, submitted to Secre-
tary of State Fulton papers for the
incorporation of the Pershing Repub-
lican league. These papers set forth
that the league is formed for the
purpose of nominating and electing
John ]. Pershing president of the
United States. Headquarters of the
league will be at Akron.
Secretary of State Fulton, in doubt
as to his authority to issue articles
of incorporation to the league, has
asked the assistance of the attorney
generals department in determining
whether he may legally accept the
papers for incorporation.

CHAPLAIN DIES OF WOUNDS
Fatally Injured While Going to Rescue
OF Two Men Who Had Been
0assed.

Pittsburgh, Pa.-Rev. NJ. Wilson
Keith. chaplain Of the One Hundred
and Eleventh infantry, died in France
Of wounds received while he was res
cuing two of his "bOys," according to
letters received here. The action in
which the clergyman received his
death wounds was after the repulse Of
a German attack. According to his
custom Reverend Keith was In the
trench distributing chocolate and Gig
arettes. When the soldiers leaped out
to attack the Germans difficulty was
experienced In keeping the chaplain
from going along. Two Of the boys
did not come back, after the Huns
had been repulsed. Gas had left them
helpless in ''NO Mans Land" When
volunteers went out for them the chap
lain went along. 1t was while engaged
in this work that he was wounded.

INSPECTING GERMAN FLEET
Warships Turned Over to the AIIIOS
May Be Sunk.

London, Nov. 26.-After an inspec-
tion of the German battleships and
cruisers held by the entente and
final settlement of their ownership
by the peace conference, all the YES
sells probably will be sunk, as appar-
emily there is no disposition on the
part of the entente to risk the con.
troversies which would be likely in
case of an attempted division of
them. Entente naval experts will in
spect the German craft carefully to
learn whether they contain features
unknown to the entente.
The ships are in a deplorable state
through want of paint and general
neglect. The internal state of the
bOttleships is on . par with their
external appearance. They smell
moldy, owing to the electric ventila
zion system on them having been
atopped.

END OF week
First Units Of the ExpsdltiOnarJ

ward Movement Of Yankee Soldiers
In France.
Washington, Nov. 26.-First units
of the American expeditionary forces
to return from overseas are expected
to arrive In New York at the end of
the week. General March, chief OF
staff, announced that 3S2 officers and
6,614 men of the air service and
other detachments training in Eng
land now are homeward bound on
the Minnekahda, Lapland and orca,
British liners.
This announcement means that the
movement of the American troops
now in England, the majority of
whom are in air service detachments,
will continue steadily until all of
them, some 10000, have returned to
this country.
There are no regiments or units oil
other troops in Great Britain. The
first movement of the larger units,
such as brigades and divisions, will
come from French ports, it is as
sumed, as the British cross-channel
service undoubtedly is completely oc.
cupied with the transportation Of re.
turning British forces.
Before General March's announce.
ment Secretary Baker had discussed
with correspondents the return of
American troops from France. Their
homeward movement, he said, is de-
pendent almost entirely upon the
limitation of transportation facilities.
both at sea and in France.
Besides employing in this work the
German liners still In this country,
such vessels taken over and all other
available transports, Mr.. Baker said
some part Of the British transport
tonnage employed in carrying troops
to France viii continue to be used in /
getting the men home. He pointed |
out, however, that Great Britain will
need many of her ships to carry home
Canadian, Australian, New Zealand !
and other colonial forces which have |
been in France longer than the Amer
ican armies.

PRICES ARRANGED

After consultation with the sub com

the special swine producers representa-
tives and with the packers, 1t has been
arranged that the November price basis
for hogs shall continue through De-
cember.
1t is highly desirable that the lighter
weight hogs be held back for the next
thirty days. If withheld at this time
the possibility of breaking down present
price levels because of excessive receipts
of the lighter hogs will be avoided.
All available hog products that can
be spared will be required for foreign
shipment in December and January and
thereafter. "
