ALLIES TO DEMAND THE
KAISER AND 1877 GERMANS

Berlin, July 14.-The allied and as
ISOLATED powers, according to the vi
emma newspapers, will demand the ex-
tradition of Count Leopold Won Berch-
told and Count Czernin, both former
Anstro-Hungarian foreign ministers.
This is for the purpose of ascertaining
to what extent the p~rolongation of the
war was due to their policies.
Count von Berchtold was foreign
minister when4 Hungary declar-
ed wal Oh Serbia in 1914. He resigned
in 1915 and was succeeded by Baron
Burian. Count C%zernin followed Bur-
ian in the ministry in December, 1916.
The T%ageblatt says it learns that
the allies and associated powers will
not ask Holland to give up Former
Emperor William for trial, but they
will request Germany to demand from
Holland that he be delivered up.
The same procedure, the newspaper
adds, will be taken up with regard to
German statesmen who fled to neu-
trail countries. 1t says 1877 persons will
be asked for, including leading gen
erals, admirals, the commander of the
raider Moewe, which sank numerous
vessels on the high seas; the command
err of the submarine U-53 which visit
ed Newport in October, 1916, and, or
leaving, sank a number of vessels off
the American coast; and DR.. Won Beth
man-Hollweg, former imperial chan
cellor; DR.. Alfred Zimmerman, form.
er foreign minister; and DR.. Car
Helfferich, former secretary of the in.
terror and vice chancellor.

WOMEN'S FEDERATION WILL
SOLVE HOUSING PROBLEM

The National Federation of Bust
ness and Professional Women will
tackle the problem of inadequate hous-
ing at %exorbitant rentals. They pro-
pose to establish a plan by which bus
mess and professional women can live
in maximum comfort at minimum en-
pense. Miss Florence King, Miss Ma
ME L. Bass, and Miss Lena Madesin
Phillips, leaders of various groups of
business and professional women agree
that unless a business woman is COM
fortably housed she cannot render her
full value in the business world.
The solution that the national fed
Grafton will offer will include plans
for apartment houses and hotels to be
erected in various cities which will
return an income of from four to six
per cent on the investment. The no.
tel will probably be modelled after the
hotel for women which is now in pro-
cess of erection at Washington, D. C.
This hotel will be finished next year.
1t will house 1926 guests and will re-
quire a staff of 100 assistants, most

General Pershing rode at the head
of the American troops which We're
separated from the French by a space
Of three hundred yards. General Per-
shing's personal flag, a scarlet field
with a row of four white stars, was
displayed for the first time. 1t was
borne by a mounted sergeant riding
directly berind the American COM
mander in chief.
Colonel Babcock commanded the de-
tachment of American troops that fol-
lowed.
The American troops in the line con-
sisted of a complete battalion select
ed from all the regiments of the Amer
lean army of occupation, formed in
four companies. The first two com
panies in line were separated from the
second two by a detachment of men
carrying forty regimental flags. The
color bearers and guards numbered
about two hundred.
Last in the American section of the
procession came a company of $50 ma
rines commanded by Lieutenant Myer.
Altogether there were in line a few
less than 1900 Americans.
The parade was viewed from advan-
tageous points by about 5000 Ameri-
can army officers and enlisted men.

MONTANA CHAPTERS
CITED FOR PRODUCTION
Valley County Unit, Glasgow, and
Yellowstone County Workers,
Billings, Honored.

Two chapters Of the northern divi-
sion have been cited as the best pro-
duction units in the American Red
Cross, says the Northern Division
Bulletin, a Red Cross publication pub
lished at Minneapolis. They are the
aVlley county chapter at Glasgow,
Montana, and the Yellowstone county
chapter at billings.
1t has already been announced IN
these columns that the northern divi-
sion led the United States in average
monthly production per 100 popula-
ton during the year 1918.
These figures covered only standard
articles. There has now been prepar-
ed at northern division headquarters
complete production figures including
all articles turned out by chapters,
standard or otherwise. This raises
the per capita production figure for
all states and chapters. South Da-
kota, which was second in the divi-
sion on standard article production,
is now third on total production.
Montana's monthly average per 100
population is $13.61, North Dakota's
$3.50 and Minnesota's $685..
This indicates that, on production,
Montana is the best state in the best
division in the United States.
This shows that the two chapters
having the finest average of produc-
ton in the best state in the best di-
vision are the Valley county and the
Yellowstone county chapters. The
former, situated at Glasgow, has a
slight edge on the latter, situated at
Billings.
hits information has been commun-
icated to Washington and the follow
ing is the general managers telegram
of congratulation sent to Major iHel:
81 appreciate and am much inter-
ested in your letter bringing to my
attention the splendid record of the

tana chapters in chapter production

CONQUERORS IN GREAT
PARADE IN PARIS

Paris, July 14.-The conquerors in
the great war marched today in a vic
tory parade under the Arc de Tri-
omphe, through which only victors
may pass. Picked units and individ-
ual heroes represented each of the al
lied armies. t,@
Several million persons, mostly
French, but with many thousands of
their allies, struggled for an oppor-
tunity to wave and shout their graf
itude to the men who saved them from
German Imperialism.
The great triumphal arch, conceiv-
ed by Napolean to commemorate his
victory at the battle of Austerlitz,
took on new historic Importance when
the allies marched through the mas
sive pile of masonry which dominates
all Paris and moved down the Champs
Elysees toward the Place de la Con-
corde.
The place of honor in the process
sion was given to a thousand mutilat-
ed soldiers who passed under the arch
in front of the reviewing stand where
stood President Poincare, moving
haltingly and out Of step, as best they
could. Some were blind, some We're
in wheel chairs and others on crutches
or limped along with the aid of canes.
Few of them were uniformed. They
represented all the provinces of France
as was indicated by the variety of
their civilian attire.
