SITE HERE GOOD
FOR U. s. CAMP

p. B. Woodwork. district inspector
for the war department, has notified
Superintendent Giles of the city
schools, that he has recommended
Richmond for a special war training
camp for 100 men.
The telegram which Mr.. Woodwork
sent in to the war department follows.
Richmond has one of the best OPP
portunities for an auto mechanics
school OF about 100. Vacant property
near the Davis motor company and the
Pilot Motor company is offered, and
these plants propose to cooperate with
the school and give assembly and serv-
ice station practice under their own
experts both in the school and the
factory"
Arrangements for the housing and
care CT the men in camps will be left
to the Commercial club, should the
plant be located here. The soldiers
will probably be lodged in the Coli
scum, and the high school cafeteria be
used for feeding the men.

STOCKHOLM, Monday, May 90
Judge Svinhufvudl has been nominal
ed temporary dictator by the Finnish
diet.
Judge Svinhufvudl was formerly
president of the Finnish diet, being
reelected to that Office on four oc-
casions In 1910 he defied the Rus
sian government and refused to sub
nit to the Finnish diet two imperial
measures. He was removed from
the presidency on Feb. 3, 1913, and
later was deported to Siberia by the
Russian government. His deporta-
tation aroused the Firms, who in 1915,
demanded his return. He was liberat-
ed from Imprisonment in 1917 and re-
turned to Finland. During the inva-
sion of Finland by the Germans he
was active in Helsingfors and during
the fighting in that city made his es-
cape and was later reported in Berlin

FAIR TRIAL FOR THE RAILROADS

United States railroad officials
promise better passenger service, now
that the war is practically over.
Government operation of the roads
is apparently to get its first fair trial
in the country. 1t has until 81 months
after peace is formally brought about
in which to make good.
Since the United States took over
the companies, passenger rates have
gone up, while train after train has
been Topped off, and luxury equip
ment" dropped from the trains that
were retained.
The increase in passenger rates
and the decrease in service are no ar
guments against Government control.
The United States was using the rail-
roads as one of its most potent wea-
pons against Germany. Individuals
could not be forbidden to use the
roads, but they could be, and were,
discouraged from using them for un-
important missions. Uncle Sam was
not running the railroads-could not
run them-for the benefit of indi-
viduals. He was running them to win
the war.

MORE FATAL THAN FIGHTING
Influenza Death Toll Greater Than
L. =. Casualties.

The recent epidemic of influenza in
the United States caused more deaths
than occurred among the American
EXpeditionary Forces from all causes
from the time the first unit landed in
France until hOstilities ceased.
That announcement yesterday by
the census bureau was based on un-
official estimates of the total casual
ties among the overseas forces and
reports from forty-six cities having a
combined population of % million
which showed S2.3O6 deaths from in
fiuenza and pneumonia from Septem-
ber to November 8.
Normally those cities would have
had 1000 deaths from those causes
during that period, it was said, leav-
ing approximately $4,000 as the num-
ber properly chargeable to the epi-
demic.
'The total casualties in the Ameri-
can Expeditionary Forces" said the
announcement, have recently been
unofficially estimated at 100000. On
the basis of the number thus far re-
ported it may be assumed that the
deaths from all causes, including dis
ease and accidents, probably are less
than As per cent, and may not be more
than 40 per cent of the total casual
ties. On this assumption the loss of
life in the American ExpeditiOnary
Forces to date is about 10000 to 45,-
OOO."
The total of deaths due to the infiu-
enza epidemic in this country is not
known, the announcement said. "as
only the forty-six cities for which fig
ures were given report vital statis-
tics to the census bureau. The great
est mortality due to the epidemic,
in proportion to population, was IA

PARIS, Oct. IS (By MaiD.-It was
one of those days when everything
had gone wrong in the convalescent
wards of a certain French hospital,
partly given over to wounded Ameri-
can soldiers.
Most of the men were getting along
nicely, that was the trouble. Heroes
don't work at heroics all the while;
and if there is ever a time when they
knock off on the job. it is while they
are cOnvalescing. Any nurse will tell
you that In this particular day men
who has distinguished themselves like
martyrs while they waited for stretch
er bearers. were acting like kinder
gartners with sore thumbs.
The curtains were too high, and
the curtains were too low. The beds
were too soft, and the beds were too
hard. The oatmeal was raw, and the
oatmeal was overdone. Only the
mothers at home, who had nursed the
husky warriors through mumps and
measles. could have thought them
heroes just then.
Presently the door opened and four
women came into the ward-American
women by every sign. The little
French nurse would have known it,
if only by the way the leader drew a
long breath before plunging into her
French question, after the manner
of one about to take an ocean dip on
chilly day. They wore the gray uni
form of the Y. NJ. c. A.
But they had another insignia which
made the little French nurse, who
knew of Benjamin Franklin only
sketchily. look at them again. Under
their arms each carried plump, crus-

by thin paper wrappings.

BON VOYAGE, MR.. PRESIDENT

When President Wilson went in per-
son to Congress to read his first mes
sage there were gasps from some per-
sons who cannot remember that the
world moves.
There's a humorous comparison to
be seen between the gasps at that
time and the shocked expression with
which some persons of the same type
of mind greet the news that President
Wilson will attend the peace confer
ence in France.
Previous presidents have written
long addresses that a secretary would
humble over for an hour or two while
the congressman read them, if at all.
from the printed copies given out.
Wilson boiled down his message to
manageable length and got the atten-
ton Of congressman while he read
II.
Previous presidents had established
a tradition of staying in this country
while in Office. If Wilson were to
continue this tradition he would be
like business man who insisted on
staying in his Office while negotiations
which would determine the whole fu-
ture of his business were going on in
a neighboring city.
No matter who the American repre-
sentative in the peace conference may
be, everyone knows that Wilson's will
be the deciding voice. His judgment
will be surer. his decisions keener.
his influence greater, if he is on the
spot than if he has to work through
5000 miles of cable and half a dozen
messengers at the other end.
And as for that tradition that a
president should not leave his coun-
try. previous presidents have gone to
Panama, taking the stand that they
were on American soil so long as they
were aboard an American naval YES
sci.
Surely France would not object If

A DRY UNITED STATES

Not until the end of the war was
the Wartime Prohibition Bill final
ly passed. Even if signed immediate
ly by President Wilson, it will not
take effect until more than seven
months have elapsed, while its ac-
ton is expressly limited to the period
preceding complete rehabilitation.
How far off the end of demobiliza-
tion may be is open to conjecture. The
life of the bill may be long or short
Yet the fast that the bill was passed
at all is a milestone in the onward
march of prohibition.
If the Nation becomes bone dry next
July l, it is inconceivable that it
should ever revert to its present part
nership with booze. The ending of
the war, with its consequent easing
of financial demands on the country,
takes the edge off the liquor inter-
ests' last argument, that the taxes on
the liquor industry are indispensable
to the war; while the problems of re-
construction that loom in the future
are warning against dissipating the
worlds food and our own brains.
The prohibition amendment of the
United States Constitution is a means
ready to hand for converting wartime
prohibition into peace-time, perma-
nent prohibition. Let US hope the Mis-
souri, Legislature will not delay in
ratifYing this measure.
