HONOR ENGLAND'S
 DEAD IN FRANCE

London, Dec. 11-(Correspondence of the Associated Press)-Whatever military rank or position in civil life England's dead in France and Bel gium may have had, they will have equal treatment in their graves.
 That is the, keynote of plan out lined in report to the Imperial War Graves Commission by Lieutenant Colonel Sir Frederick Kenyon, di- rector ofe the British Museum.
 Many cemeteries will be required to accommodate the British dead. They will be of uniform design, with plots of grass or flowers, separated by paths, and set with orderly rows of headstones, uniform in height, width and shape. Wherever possible, the graves will face towards the east, and at the eastern end of each cemetery there will be a great altar stone, bear ing a brief phrase. The headstone will be two feet one inch in height, one foot, three inches in width. A simple pattern with a curved top has been approved.

URGE SUPPORT
 OF RED CROSS

Washington, DecA 19-GeneraI John Riddle, commander of the American forces in Great Britain, and General Zuppeli, Italian minister of war, in statements made public today at the headquarters of the American Red Cross praise the work of the Red Cross and urge the American people to support the organization in it's Christmas membership campaign.
 ''I really do not know" says the statement of General Riddle, what the American army would have done in England without the American Red Cross. Everywhere the Red Cross is giving the best that can be given or asked for"
 The Italian minister of war said:
 By its innumerable and marvellous activities, the American Red Cross has won the good will of the army and of the civilian population of Italy"

THE CONQUEST OF
 TYPHOID FEVER.

iMajor W. W. Keen in the January
 Yale Review.)
 Wonderful achievement in medicine comparable with the victory over te- tanus is the conquest of typhoid fever. Typhoid fever has been one of the historic pestilences of armies. The discovery n 1880 of the germ which caused it was one of the very earliest achievements of the bacteria logists. Yet even in 1898 when published a book on the "Surgica! Complications and SequeIs of Typhoid Fever" so little awas positively known about it that I had to as- semble proofs that the typhoid bac- illus could reach the blood stream, that it could cause abscesses in bones and muscles, could cause gangrene of the tissues and even of whole limbs. infections of the gall bladder, and many other surgical disorders. In that same year in the war with Spain could do. Every fifth man in our army of 1o7O0O was attacked with typhoid. It caused over eighty-six per cent. Of all the deaths Tn that war Had the same ratio held in the British army of over 5,O00,000 in the world war there would have been moro than 100000 cases of ty- phoid. Instead of that, down to No vember, 1916, there had been only 4,571 cases! In our own army or the Mexican border in 1916, among 10000 troops only one man fell il with typhoid, although 1t was pre- valent in nearby towns. In our pres ent army, from September 2, 1917, tc January 25. 1918 with a daily aver, age of 742,625 men assembled from all over the country, often from place! where autumnal typhoid was taking it's annual toll of lives, only 119 case! of typhoid occurred. Had the 1898 rate prevailed there would have beer

NEED
 URGENT RELIEF

Saloniki, Monday, Dec. 16-Charles A. Dana, former executive secretary of the Armenian and Syrian Relief Committee at Beirut and Constantino- pie and William S. Nelson, former American vice consul at Tripoli, Syria, who have returned here from Syria, declare relief is urgently needed among the survivors of the deported Armenians now in Asia Minor. The Armenians are gathering at towns and railway stations hoping to be able to return home.
 Both men agree that out of the two million Armenians deported by the Turks, 100000 survived, and that not more than one-fourth of the pres eat Armenian population can survive until the next harvest unless there is outside help.

"We were in a bad position in a strip of woods just north of the Verdun sector. The Germans had lots of artillery and so did we, but we had to get them off the hill they held. I went over the top three times in four days The orders came and we had to start old Fritz going and away we started. They were the best fighting Germans we met since we were in the lines. They certainly stuck to their lines and our troops had to wade through streams and through bushes and it was tough go- ing.
 we threw away our packs and kept going and all of a sudden the fellow next to me called that he was hit and when I turned to help him 0 sniper hit me"

JUDGE WEBSTER CAMPAIGNS
WITHOUT MENTIONING
POLITICS

Judge Stanley Webster, candidate
for the republican nomination for
congress, has been letting the people
of the Fifth district look him over
and size up his qualifications to an
extent that perhaps has never be-
fore been their opportunity in the
case of any other candidate for con-
gressional honors.
He has never in a single speech so
far ever mentioned politics or even
the fact of his own candidacy for
congress. On every occasion he has
told his audiences that this is not
a time for partisan politics but that
Americans must get down to the
more Serious problem of winning the
war and the equally serious prob
lens of peace.
Last week he addressed four
splendid patriotic meetings at Col
vile, Northport, Marcus and Col
welah in Stevens county, closing the
week with speech at a Red Cross
festival at Entiat in Chelan county.
Sunday he made two addresses, one
before the Methodist congregation of
Chelan at eleven o'clock and the
other in the evening at the Meth
odist church at Pateros. Tuesday
evening he spoke at Twisp, Wednes-
day evening at Winthrop, Thursday
evening at Okanogan, Friday even
ing he speaks at Tonasket, and Sat
urday evening at Pine Creek. Next
week he will start his tour with a
meeting on Monday night at Loomis,
and Tuesday night will speak at
Wauconda, Wednesday evening at
Nelson, Thursday evening at Aeneas
and Friday night at Republic.

DERANGED GREEK BROUGHT
HERE TUESDAY NIGHT

A Greek machinist helper was
brought here Tuesday evening by a
G. N. engine crew. They picked
him up at Chiwaukum, the first
station west of here where he had
acted queer. 1t appears he was a
passenger on No. and jumped off
the train there earlier in the day.
From papers found in his possession
it appeared he was a machinist's
helper. He had war savings stamps
and bank book showing he had an
account in a Seattle bank. He ap-
peared to be under great mental
strain and obsessed with the idea
that sombody wanted to do him bod
lily harm and begged Marshal Love
not to allow anyone to do him harm.
DR.. Judah examined him and said
he was suffering from very high
blood pressure. Sheriff McMannus
was advised and came here in the
night and took the man to Wen
atchee. Marshal Love says he
started to Oroville and Monday
Jumped off train near Pateros.

FIRST CHAUTAUQUA EVENING
DREW GOOD SIZED CROWD
Promises to Be Success-Interest
Growing as Program Develops
Good Program for Saturday
and Sunday

The tent of the Ellison White
Chautauqua was raised on the school
grounds Wednesday afternoon just
in time to admit the crowd which
had gathered to hear the first pro-
gram. The crowd was truly "she-
tauqua," for scarcely was a man to
be seen among the women and
children. Despite the warm weather
and the still warmer atmosphere in
side the khaki canvas, everyone was
most enthusiastic over the first pro-
gram.
The main feature of the afternoon
and evening program was the Apollo
Concert company. Arthur Wells
truly lives up to his reputation of
800 pounds of harmonious avoirdu-
pois and his company gave a splen-
did varied program.
The popular saxophone music of
lighter strain more than delighted
the audience. The program was
varied with quartets, viola numbers,
readings, duets, banjo and vocal solos
The main feature of the evenings
program was the "Apollophon," a
sort of "glorifed" marimophone
built especially for the company.
Both heavy and lighter selections
were well received and the audience
would gladly have joined the play
ers with "The Whistler and His
Dog"
All the programs are character
istic of war time and many war
songs were sung. Everyone present
truly felt the spirit of the song,
Don't Weaken" The Chautauqua
will emphasize war problems and
there are many prominent lecturers
who will tell us about the aims of
the government in this crisis. Ev-
cry loyal American will wish to
know the vital issues of the day
that each one may spread the right
propaganda. And as Mr.. Wapato
says: "Work a little harder and
little faster"
The program for Saturday and
Sunday promises to be unusually in
teresting. The course will close
Monday evening The local commit
tee cooperating with the Chautau-
qua manager worked increasingly to
make the course a success.
