WHILE the state librarian Vas describing
w this modern feast of Lucullus my mem
ory for an instant fitted back to another
banquet. 1t was arranged and disposed of in
the space of half an hour. 1t took place
on the eastern shore of Bering sea.
With Mail Inspector Krause, Of the
Alaskan route. visited an Eskimo settle
ment near the mouth of the Yukon river
We walked a mile across the tundra. The
Eskimos had pitched their summer encamp-
ment above high water mark There were
half a dozen flimsy tents sheltering as many
families.
We we're made welcome in pantomime and
invitS.i to dinner. We Crawled through a
low opening in ono of the tents. The sand
floor was covered with robes and skins. A
driftwood fire smoldored at one side.
The wife stirred up some white -four in
water in a kerosene can and placed pan
on the fire and poured into it some seal oil.
Instantly the tent was filled with foul blue
smoke. Dropping several handfuls of the
pasty mess into the oil. she fried them brown
and rendered one to each of the visitors on a
small piece or board For forms sake I
tasted the fritter. Krause, half sick, had to
forgo the ordeal.
Our hostess next ladled out more seal oil
and fried three small slabs of STEAK fish OF
some kind. Her husband meantime had dis =
posed of the food We had declined.
This time We each managed to take a
couple of bites of the fish. 1t was torture
for the oil was rancid and the fish was not
overly fresh. For dessert we were regaled
with some termented red berries fished out
Of another kerosene can, whose contents were
frothing outside the tent in the sun.
"My God" said the wretchcd Krause as
We started back to the river, "I'll taste
that fish to my dying day."

Roscoe Peacock having written us two
letters about that story Luck" in the Au-
gust "Harper's," we got inquistiye, and
bought copy of the magazine to read on
the train. We would call it pretty good
yarn. except for the fact that the author
Wilbur d. Steele) thinks it necessary to
play up the point of his tale in italics so that
the reader will be sure to get it, This seems
a feeble cxpedient, so feeble that perhaps the
editor and not the author is responsible
Having been an editor ourseh, we know the
worst.
In the same magazine we noted that even
one of the best reporters in the world-PhiIip
Gibbs-slips cog now and then. In his
very vivid and brisk description of his ad
ventures in New York, Mr., Gibbs describes
the Pennsylvania station as having a ceiling
painted sky blue with golden stars. Now
even the most superclious PhiladeIphiap
knows that there are only two railroad
terminals with n dark blue ceiling. In the
Grand Central it is paint that makes the
vault blue in the Reading Terminal it is
SCOT. But much must be forgiven Mr.. Gibbs.
In the furious frenzy of Manhattan's hos
pitality it was only natural that he should
not always have known which station he
was in SOCRATES.

The plight Of Lieutenants Davis and

A "sharp demand" is made on Mexico.
Carranza is strongly urged to act to Sc
cure the prisoners release. Meanwhile
the United States is to pay the ransom

 ALLEN HEARIN
 ARE IMPRESSIVE
Military Ceremonies Fea. tllre Interment of Re-
 mains Of Soldier.

Draped with the American flag, the casket containing the remains of AL len Hearin, hero of the world war, who made the supreme sacrifice, was gently lowered into the grave at Bell wood cemetery yesterday while soft ly came the chimes of the bufle call ing this gallant soldier to the eternal sleep.
 Following prayer by Chaplain Darley, of the 57th Infantry, Camp Pike, the funeral escort fired the three voliays over the grave, after which the bugler stepped forward to the head of the grave, and while the escort stood rigid with rifles pre-. sented. and others ip uniform stood with bowed heads and caps over their hearts, the bugder softly called his comrade in arms to tho last sleep.
 The funeral was held at the First Methodist church at three o'clock. The march to the church began at the home of John Holman on West Barraoue street. Lining each side of the walk leading from the house was the funeral escort consisting of sixteen men from the 57th' Infantry, Camp Pike Also on each side of the walk were the palDbearers, active and honorary who were selected from returned officers and men. Non commissioned officers acted as active pallbearers. and officers, honorary. As the casket appeared in the door way, the escort came to present arms and the honorary pallbearers stood with barred heads as the casket, drap- ed in the flag. passed slowly between the lines of soldiers.
 Funeral Impressive.
 Beginning on Barraque street, the funeral procession, started east, the funeral escort marching at half step was in the lead while directly fol- lowing was the hearse, on each side of which marched the officers and men who acted as pallbearers.
 At the church, the casket was again carried between the lines of soldiers into the church. Following a short service by Rev. E. R. Steel. the ser vices were concluded at the cemetary

A POPULAR POEM.

The following poem has been re- ceived from Sergt. Eugene A. Smith, formerly of the Riley Auto Tire com pany, of this city, who is serving with the End Regt. M. M., Air Service, at St. Nazaire France In his letter he states that it is one of the most popu- lar contribution to the camp collect ion of vagabond- verse.
 A Reply To
 "Only a Volunteer" Why didn't you wait to be drafted?' The answer is simple enough. You didn't need brass band to lead
 you, You're made of the right kind of stuff. Your banquet will come when it's over That's when you want to be cheered And then you will know you deserve
 it
 Because you had volnteered. Don't get discouraged so quickly For what I've seen I've hunch That out of the millions of soldiers Uncle Sam likes you best of the
 bunch.
 1Ou uOH COHIP1ohi VI yVNA N~SAS~ Or hardships you have to bear You march right along with your
 head up Because you have volunteered. You weren't dragged in by numbers As though you were nothing at all. You didn't go round with frown on Afraid that your country would call. You didn't buy every paper And scan each column with fear That your name would be printed. Because you had volunteered. What if the little draft "Willies" Do get little more praise? Praise won't whip the kaiser It's real men we're needing these
 days
 Just keep your mind on Berlin--boys Never mind the brass band and the
 cheer
 The glory will go to the heroes And they will be volunteers.

with the full military ceremonies.
 Though Allen was not the first, or only, Pine Bluff boy to lose his life in the service of his country during the past emergency, he was the only one who lost his life as result of wounds received in the great strug- gle, and those who were present at the church and at the cemetery to pay their respect to this heroic son of Pine Bluff were numbered in hum dreds. There were many possibly, who did not know him, many who had never seen him, but the same spirit which has actuated the American peo- pie to stand firmly behind the boys at the front, and give their all in every effort to- aid, them in the face of the horrible he'll of battle, prompt ed many to stand with bowed head and quivering lips yesterday as Rev Steel pointed to the golden star in the Methodist church and said flowing and thoughtful hands have placed a golden star besides his name here. but the angels have placed white star besides his name on the book of final judgment"

GEN. WRIGHT IN CITY
Former Thirty-Fifth Commander
Praises kansans In Two Divisions.

Praises kanSans In Two Divisions. -
Gen. w. NJ Wright, who trained the
35th division while it was stationed at
Camp Doniphan, spent two hours in
conference with Governor Allen and
Gen. c. 1. Martin at the state house
General Wright is reported to have
discussed the details of the governors
charges in the Argonne case. He left
Topeka without making a public
statement as to the governors charges
or actual conditions confronting the
national guard division.
In the service overseas General
Wright commanded the seth division.
which was trained at Camp Funston
and is composed of several thousand
Kansans. as well as national army
units from other states. High praise
for the 353rd-the all-Kansas regi-
ment with the seth division, was given
by General Wright.
I'VE learned many lessons at st.
MihieI," he said. Thtn the general
told how the Kansas national army
regiment had gone into the first two
days of fighting and was followed by
the 354th regiment. Each regiment
furnished two battalions for the front
line. The surplus battalion in each
regiment took up the fighting the
second day. The third day new units
were provided and the danger of mix
ing units was overcome.
1t is probable that General Wright
will aid in the reception to members
of the seth division, who are due to
arrive in the United States soon. AL
tho he spent nearly two hours in con-
ference with the governor and adju-
tant general, no statement was made
as to the character of the interview.

REDS SWELL UP
Regard Ordered Halt of Rumanians
rs Hungary Victory.
(By the Associated Press)

lby the ASSOcl1IeO ffeSSt
Vienna Monday. May 12.-Reports
the Hungarian Communist govern
ment appears to have grown stronger
in the last few days.
The halt of the Rumanian advance
has encouraged the Communists who
believe that the Rumanians under
took more than they were able to &C
complish if their intention was to
reach Budapest. (Official announce
ment has been made that the allied
troops moving on Budapest were or
dered last week to halt their advance
by the peace conference).
The Rumanians, however, have eff
fected a junction with the CZecho-
Slovaks and have cut off communica-
ton between Budapest and Russia by
way of the Ukraine.
The peace negotiations at Paris are
being watched closely by the Com
munist government. The Volkes
Timme and other newspapers in
Budapest denounce the peace treaty
"capitalistic," and aiming at the
enslavement of "our noble German
brothers"
Because there are no cloth factories
in operation, the Hungarian govern
ment has ordered further acquisitions
of cloth, cotton, linen goods and the
bed and personal clothing of the men
and women of the bourgeoisie for use
in making white underwear for the
red guard army.
Religious schools in Hungary have
been seculariZed and theological semi
naries are closed. Representations by
the allies have saved the converts.
The Communist government has
made an announcement that there is
neither drunkenness nor begging in
Hungary.
