COUNTRY WILL SUFFER

While city officials were considering the effect of possible shortage of coal
 and foodstuffs. tug owners expressed the opinion that Greater New York would not suffer from the strike as
 much as New England, the south and European countries. With the tying up of transatlantic and coastwise traffic, they pointed out that immense auanti- ties of food were. being held here, City officials, however, are display ing anxiety lest New York suffer milk or coal famine. Health Commis- sioner Copeland declared that if neces- sary milk would be delivered by air plane to orphanages and hospitals. As for the coal situation, it was said that none can be moved from New Jersey while the strike is on and that if cold wave came the city might suffer.

 as those which appeared today be- tween 4:30 and 5:30 D. m., when Jersey commuters sought the only means Of egress from Manhattan.
 The situation was described as more critical than even the most pessimstic can imagine and could be saved only by intense action by those in command of transportation facilities, It was de- elared that .the very lives of thousands of people depend at this critical hour upon the men who are rearranging the schedules of the railroads with terminals at this port"

JUsTIFIEs INTERVENTION

Chairman Hitchcock Justified interven ton in Russia. denounced the bolshevils government as German. and declared the expeditions in both northern Russia and Siberia were purely defensive and entirely friendly to the loyal Russian peo- pie
 Reports of fighting by American forces in Russia have been grossly exagger- ated," Senator Hitchcock declared, as only 126 Americans have been killed since the land at Archangel. From VladivostolS to the ural mountains, he said, there has been no fighting for months, and the interallied forces have been received by the Russian people with "open arms
 Senator Borah, in reply, opposed any intervention with Russian internal af- fairs. Without criticising the sending of troops to Russia, Senator Borah said re- tention of American forces there now is Justified only in holding military stores from the Germans or in carrying out the general purposes of the war against Ger many
 JOINS IN DEMAND
 Senator Borah said Russia should be permitted to work out her own govern mental affairs and he joined with Sen ator Johnson in demanding an official statement from the administration re- garding it's plans and purposes in Rus sia.
 Senator Swanson in defending the ad- ministration's course, cited President Wilson's statement in his 14 peace prin- ciples and declarations in the armistice terms imposed on Germany as assurances that America is friendly to the Russian people and that Russian territorial and political intergrity and independence are assured ss <ss 44g.sss ss-si4.. ge
 POLICY TOO SECRETIyE
 The administrations policy was at tackled by Senator France as "suspi- cfously secretive.' The Maryland sena- tor also contended that Russia was a neu- tral when her soil was invaded by the allied and American troops and de- clared that that invasion, like the Ger man invasion of Belgium, was most unexplainable and inexcusable"
 Senator Nelson of Minnesota. republic an, asserted that bolshevism is losing ground gradually, while Senator King ex- pressed regret that greater vigor had not been exercised by America and the allies for the purpose of ''walling in the bol- sheviki-those murderous madmen.''

SERGEANT BEEBY SPEAKS HERE

Sergeant Albert Edward Beeby, a
former student of the Fort Hays Kan
sas Normal School whose home is in
Hill City, spoke to the Hays Chamber
of Commerce at its weekly luncheon
Tuesday. He at first related some of
his experiences on Armistice Day,
1918. Then at the special request of
those present, he told something of
the methods of presentation of war
honors in France.
On July Is, 1913 Sergeant Beeby
went across no mans land in the Sois-
sons region to carry back a wounded
marine. For this he received an off
cIal citation for valor on October 18th
of that year, and on November Both
he was decorated with the American
distinguished cross by General John
J. Pershing, himself.
On October 9Th Sergeant Beeby
was in an engagement to drive a
wedge in the German line which was
to be equally done by the French and
American troops. The French troops,
OAO AlOI Op Will IIO
American soldiers and the Germans
started counter attack in the open
space left between the American and
French troops. Sergeant Beeby,
against the advice and consent of the
Second Lieutenant in command, led
his platoon into the gap which made
the whole engagement a success. For
this he was cited by the French gov
eminent and on March II, 1919 out
side of Coblenz, Marshal Ferdinand
Foch himself decorated Sergeant Bee
by with the French Croix de Guerre
Sergeant Beeby described to the
Chamber of Commerce the formalities
and the etiquette on occasions when
soldiers receive citation from COM
handing generals. He did not in any
way elude to the winning of those
citations but referred entirely to Off
cial conventionalities in the presenta-
ton of thescrosses. He said laughing
ly that being kissed on each cheek by
Marshal Foch was not so very bad
because the Marshal had just kissed
an American Red Cross girl previous
to his own osculatory benediction.

Weeds and Snowdrifts

Since most of the Russian Thistles
are now loosening up and drifting on
the east and west fences, these fence
forders should be burned free from
weeds, grass and other material that
will later cause the drifting of snow
onto the roads. It is very much
cheaper for the farmers now to rid
these fences of such distractions
than it is to break out a road through
the snow that may drift in as a result.
