 On the floor in the middle of the room, long -barreled A caliber Colt revolver loosely clasped in the right hand, bullet wound beneath the left breast, lay Mrs. Hazel McDaniels Will son, wife of Thomas Wilson. The woman was dying. only a twitching of the face showed that life was not en- tirely extinct.
 Room in Disorder
 The room, cheaply furnished, was in great disorder. Eleven full quarts of whiskey and many half f-emptied bot ties were strewn about the room. Silken finery hung on clothes hooks in a wardrobe, but the dying woman was clothed in a rough cotton waist, cheap gray petticoat and black oxfords with large bows. A green sweater lay ou ha the only attempts at wall decoration. There was an oil stove and an opened box of crackers. On a table was a dust had fallen. Above it, in the wall, @ bullet hole was found.
 Mrs. Wright ran to her own house at the rear of the lot and alarmed her husband, who was at luncheon. Re turning to the room where the tragedy had occurred they found Mrs. Wilson dead.
 The police were at once notified officers Grove and McGrath of the po- lice department were most active in the investigation of the shooting, and valuable assistance was given by Deputy Alfred De Witt of the sheriffs office.

 But Corny preferred to tell his own story.
 Down on the other side of our street is nice little woman that has three babies. One is five and one is three and one is one.

William s. Nelson and Charles

ST. LOUIS, May 17.-Instances
in which Presbyterian missionaries
in foreign lands sometimes sacri-
feed their lives or suffered the loss
of their liberty while engaged in
their work in behalf of the OPP
pressed nationalities during the war
are related in the annual report of
the Board of Foreign Missions to
the Presbyterian church presented
today to the Presbyterian General
Assembly.
MANY missionaries died as a re-
suit of the diseases contracted in

age of the American army. One
chapter of the report gives a short
history of the events which led the
government finally to take over the
domestic wool clip and to com
mandeer the output of practically
every factory.
Interesting statistics are given OF
economies effected by changes in
design. For instance elimination OF
lacings and eyelets in trousers
saved 100000 and redesignins
of the coat cut the cost of these
garments $5,000,000. Expert cut
ting reduced the consumption OF
cloth 23-100 of a yard and saved
$500, 600 yards on the total order,
Cotton textiles produced for the
army would furnish a stripe three
feet wide and of sufficient length
to wrap Is layers around the equa-
tor.
Innovations resulting from short
ages in material included the sub
stitution of American dyes for the
German product and the use Of
vegetable "'ivory" in button making
The activities of the q~uartermas-
ter corps (afterward taken over
largely by the bureau Of purchase,
storage and supply, included also
the furnishing of hats, shoes, boots,
fuel, oil, paints, tools, harness and
harness equipment and even music
Prominent composers volunteered
for the work of selecting a "ba,-
ance ration" of jazz and more re-
strained orchestrations for the army
bands.
To give the American aviator the
surest fuel possible, the depart
ment took over every drop of 1857

Conservation of shipping space
resulted in the revolutionizing of
packing methods. Clothing was
compressed into bales, shoes shipped
in bags and trucks were dissembled
and Grated. The New York baling
plant, according to the report, saved
the government $55,000,0O0 in tom
mage and expenditure.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 16.--
Soldiers who fought against Spain
in 1898 lost in weight on an aver
age Of % pounds each; the average
American soldier at the end of the
fighting in 1918 weighed IL pounds
more than he did when the select
i've service act or his W volition
brought him into the army"
Thus the success won by the
army's subsistence branch In the
great war is epitomized In chap
tiers of the official wal material
history made public today by the
war department.
The food problem of an army of
100000 Americans Is visualized
in the history by considering the
force as a single man and the en-
tire war period as one dinner hour.
Articles comprised in the army ra-
tion assumed these tremendous to-
tails:
Roast beef, 500, 900, 900 pounds,
bacon, $50, 90, 200 pounds; flour
(bread) 1000, O0O.0 900 pounds; but

onions, 100000 pounds; corn,
beans and peas 150,000.000 cans;
tomatoes, 190.000,000 cans; prunes,
peaches and apples (for dessert)
100000 cans; sugar, $4,000, 900
pounds; coffee, 100000 900 pounds.
evaporated milk, 100000, 900 cans.
The bill for this meal" amounted
to $727,000,00 600 to December l.,
1918, the per capita cost having
risen from 4 cents in 1897 to 4S
in 1918.
At the time of the armistice,
American soldiers in France were
consuming 10000 900 pounds of food
daily. Moving this stupendous
quantity over the 5000 mile line OF
communication was the principal
obstacle to be overcome. This
and the necessity for conserving
cargo space led directly In m
later months to the shipment of
dehydrated vegetables to the Ameri-
lean expeditionary force.

Arctic ocean not very far from the
Siberian boundary, to the scarcely
less frozen country of Omega bay,
west of Archangel, where they con-
meet with the Murmansk, or Kola
forces.
Each of these columns has peno-
trated inland, along railroad, high
road, river or forest trail, into the
territory of the Bolsheviki and, on
most of them, Yanks have been at
the far-front, where the trouble is
thickest. And, as most of the
Americans who have met John Boil
shevik face to face will tell You,
as a troublemaker, John is active
especially when he has n out
numbered and outgunned.
Back in the early days of sum-
mer, before they really knew very
much about it, the powers-that-were
who planned this expedition had a
very poor opinion of the Bolshe-
viki's fighting qualities. When the
original Archangel expeditionary

largest country in the world con-
sisted of 400 men. Fifty Ameri-
can bluejackets from the u. s. s.
Olympia who were among these
Russian "Old Contemptibles" were
the first to set their feet upon the
dock at Archangel. When the
allies landed the Bolsheviki had
gone.
This original expedition of 400
included British sailors and ma
rines, French soldiers and sailors,
American sailors, Russians, Poles

also of complications caused by the
Japanese demanding the separation
of education and religion in mission
as we'll as in government schools, a
problem which is not yet adjusted.
Concerning Latin America the
board finds mot for a generation
has the feeling toward the United
States been so sympathetic and
kindly as it is today" In India the
board reports notable loyalty and
order, but deep Inducements
which no one is able to estimate.

to be an Increasing measure of au-

SUPERIOR RUSSIAN BOLSHEVIK FORCE PROVES
} STUBBORN FOE ON ARCHANGEL Fighting front

ARCHANGEL, May 16.-The tab
lOid warfare that the American
doughboys and a miscellaneous col
lection of allies have been waging
against the Bolsheviki up in Aurora
Borealis land since the landing of
an allied corporal's guard at Arch
angel, on August 3, has had most
Of the thrills of the big war in
France, with a few pet perils all Of
its own.
In the summer, it was a game of
bushwhacking, boy scouting, hide
and seek and Indian fighting in the
with the added attractions
of eirplanes, %.shrapnel, high explos-
ives, trench mortars, gunboats and
armored trains. In winter when the
thermometer registers around 80
degrees below zero, it is something
like an Eskimo tribal feud, the
Eskimos being equipped with all
modern devices for putting their
opponents out of the combat.
The allied north Russian exped.-
t..onary force, whose backbone is
the Yank doughboy, has been fight
ing during the winter against
double, or triple, or quadruple odds.
These Yanks and Tommies and
poilus and half a dozen varieties or
Russians and Poles have been scat
tered out in thin columns operdt-
ing over a territory about as large
as Germany and colder than Medi-
cine Hat or Moose Jaw. There
we're seven or eight of these COT
umns and they branched out like q

by the assistance Of the American
food industry" the report says, and
while instances were found of food
specifications being violated, these
are declared to have been very few
and in most instances not inten-
tional.
The emergency ration of the Am
erican soldier. designated to be used
only in cases of extremity, was per-
fected during the war to consist of
three cakes Of beef, prepared with
a bread compound of ground cooked
wheat, each cake weighing three
ounces; three one-ounce cakes OF
chocolate; three-fourths n fine
salt and n dram black pepper.
A special ration was designed for
the use of invalid soldiers, includ-
ing potted chicken, dried eggs, pud-
dings, etc.
Importance attached to the sup
ply of fresh coffee for the men
is evidenced by the decision to ship
the bean in the green form and
have it roasted near the front. This
led to the invention Of portable
roasters capable of handling several
tons a day.
Noting that tobacco has estab-
lished its claim to q recognized
place in the soldiers life," the re-
port says probably 95 per cent of
the American expeditionary force
used the weed in one form or an
other. Monthly shipments averaged
20, 900, 900 cigars and 5000, 900
cigarettes.
The soldiers sweet tooth was sat-
isfied by a monthly shipment of
100000 pounds of candy during the
early part of the var but this in
creased, in November, 1918, to l.
$4,000 pounds, and in the follow
ing month the wal department made
candy a part of the regulation is
sue, 1h pounds being issued to
each man every month. A close
companion in popularity was chew
ing gum, more than 3,O0O,0 900 pack
ages a month being consumed.

six other nationalities, IL in all.
1t was all cluttered up with officers.
There were two British generals,
colonies and lieutenant colonies ga
lore, a horde Of majors and great
flocks of captains-the idea being
that one would need plenty of Of
ficers to direct the Russian forces
which were eagerly awaiting 10
spring to arms. Most of these Off
GERS are quite busy at other jobs,
while they are still waiting for the
Russians to spring. And the Rus
SLAMS do not seem at all eager to do
so.
This force split itself up into two
or three columns that set out to
take Vologda, on the railroad, and
Ketlass, on the Dvina. The Boil
sheviki, it seems, were expecting
a much larger landing force, and
they scurried very fast at first. In
the past six months of hard fight
ing in the swamps and snow the
entire North Russian expeditionary
force hasn't gone much farther
than this little expedition of "Old
Contemptibles" went in two weeks,
and at times it has been a hard
fight to hold what the originals
took in a walk away. a
When the Bolsheviki started re-
treating, they expected to make 4
stand at Vologda. Instead, when
they found the allies were only a
handful, and in~adequately equipped,
they just turned around and fought
us. They've been fighting us ever
since, and probably will keep on
fighting us until we get a force OF
somewhere nearly equal numbers.
