tails. When Ambassador Gerard
learned that one of the Ford Peace
Party was in Berlin, he sent for Ser
geant Hudson. who then spent some
time telling the Ambassador all about
the Peace Expedition and the big
fight which occurred on the ship on
the way over. Through Ambassador
Gerard, he obtained permission to Wis
it the Reichstag, which was then in
session and in the midst of a debate
pertaining to certain war measures.
The famous wooden statute of Won
Hindenburg had then recently been
erected, being about one hundred and
sixty feet high. Many of the German
people were paying large sums Of
money for the privilege of driving 4
nail, either an iron. silver, or goll
nail, into the statute; the proceeds
being applied TO the German Red
Cross. And, too, it was considered an
act of patriotism. But Sergeant Hud-
son says that when he drove an iron
nail into the head of the statute, he
did so merely to get one good blow
at the origin of so much trouble"

THE WORLD MOURNS

IL is doubtful if the death OF any
other American than Theodore RoOse-
yelt could have sent such wide
spread wave of regret throughout the
world.
II would have pleased Roosevelt
had he paised to think of it, that nc
one thought him either a ''falr sort
of chap" or a pretty poor kind oil
man." People either praised him ex-
trayagaatly or condemned him equal
ly severely. There was no halfway
stand in regard to him.
Roosevelt once described a good exc
cutiye as a man who would decide
quickly and be right at least half the
time. On that basis it is no wonder
that he made enemies by the thous-
and. But at the same time he was
making friends, and the most devoted
kind of friends.
Probably the most typically Ameri-
can of all the men in our public life
was this man. Yet he was one OF the
most cosmopolitan.
Kings and princes mourn for him.
And so do the great common people
of the United States.

DRY LEADERS ARE CONFIDENT
Declare BOne-Dry Amendment Will
Pass Within First Ten DAYS.


Governor Gardner in his message
will tell the need of legislation in
Missouri on several progressive is
sues. He will urge the submission
of an amendment providing for wom-
an suffrage Other measures which
he favors are a just workmen's COM
penSation law, a measure for the sup
port of the Missouri Council of De-
fense., the enfranchisement of soldiers
and sailors, and proper recognition
for the 100000 Missourians who en-
tered the service. He would submit a
$50 100000 bond issue TO build roads
and would have laws passed protect
ing the sheep industry of the state.
He asks consideration of a new state
constitution. He makes no comment
on the prohibition question.
Dry leaders in the Legislature de-
clare that the national bone-dry
amendment will be ratified within the
first ten days of the session. The
Senate is expected to be overwhelm-
ingly in favor of it, though the mem
bers from St. Louis will probably
oppose it.
In the House Frank H. Farris of
Phelps County, the probable minority
floor leader. opposes the amendment
and predicts its defeat, but the sup
porters of the bill say that the House
will ratify it.
Missouri would be the seventeenth
state to ratify the federal amendment.
Michigan is the state which has most
recently put its stamp of approval on
the amendment. 1t gave its ratifica-
ton January 2. No states have as yet
turned down the amendment. Thirty
two have yet TO vote on it. Ratifica-
ton by twenty of these will mean the
passage of the amendment.
War records will enter into the con-
tests for legislative positions. Lieu

who saw service at St. Mihiel, is a
candidate for sergeant-at-arms in the
