Washington, April 8 - Two ar my officers, enroute home on traEsr ort as stowawlys, will enjoy only a brief glimpse of home, it was learned today at the war de- partment. They will be shipp d hack immediately to face charges in France. A cablegram reported their pesence on the ship, and they will be transferred at once on the transports aival to the first east bound vessel to sail.
 Similar treatment was accord ed five officers, two captains and three lieutenants, who slowed away lmmediately after the arm1stice was signed last November. h that case, also, the cable paved the way for their immediate re- turn. Their ship docked on one side Of 9 pier, at the SeesSsite side of which lay an outbound yes sel which had been held two hours to await the stowaways. They were marched down one gang plank and up another, and arrived in France with the unique experience of hay ing made a round trip to New 4ork without any stopover whatever. The return of stowaways for trial is expected to discourage the practice.

 Without doubt America could rot have carried out her part in the conflict as she did if it had not been for the willingness and courage of nurses and others who came to care for the eick and wounded in France, and the local support of patriotic women at home" he said.
 Despite the fact that America was in the war only q compara- lively short time, her medical and hospital service was not exceeded by any of the foreign nations.

tried without success, the business
men of Verden contributed to a
fund to secure the services of me-
dunn from Oklahoma City This
spiritualist was expected to arrive in
the town yesterday afternoon but at
5 o'clock she hod not appeared on
the scene. The medium whose serv-
ices are sought is reputed as hav-
ing located drowned bodies in Ok
lahoma City.
Those in charge of the work of
attempted recovery are overlooking
no method that might lead to the
location of the body. Superstition
is being resorted to. One suggested
yesterday that a garment once worn
by the girl be thrown into the
stream from the tree in which Miss
Grizzle was climbing when she slip
ped and fell into the river The
garment would sink at point near
which the body was lodged in the
stream, he said This method was
given a trial and both times the
garments sunk below the surface
within ten feet of the same spot.
1t was around these spots that the
searchers worked yesterday after
noon but found no trace of the
body.
Another man suggested that some
quicksilver be placed in a loaf of
bread and bread dropped into the
water at the scene of the drowning
The man contended that this meth
cd would locate the whereabouts of
Miss Grizzlies body, declaring that
the hair from the girls head would
attract the quicksilver and therefore
the loaf would sink at the spot be-
ing searched for This will alsc
be given a trial, it was stated late
yesterday afternoon.
