a simple process to rid yourself of the
tobacco habit in any form. Just go
to any up-to-date drug store and get
some Nicotol tablets; take them as

quickly vanishes. Druggists refund
the money if they fail. Be sure to read

The Soldier Wants H1s Job Back

When our boys went away to war by enlistment or draft, their employers felt personal pride in them. They felt as if they making sacrifice. They for the moment surcharged with loyalty They hung up service flags.
 Some of them promised the departing boys their jobs when they should come back. That was quite a common thing in those enthusiastic days the employ CTS meant t-and the day has arrived to make good their worlds and many employers in the state mak ing point of promptly reinstaling the returning men in their old jobs
 The employers stayed at home and made money The for which they thought they had made so great sacrifice brought them greater profits than ever It was a money making war.
 Now, the boys are coming back; many of them have already and have not found their old jobs awaiting them, have they been able to find new jobs. Their former employers have re-arranged their working forces and getting along very well. The is over; the enthusiasm has become cold and inanmate thing
 Cannot something be done to reanimate it9 Are these employers to remain deaf not to the call of char ity, but to the call of duty?
 Patriotism is not supposed to have died with the signing of the armistce
 Is it possible that these boys who gave up their positions, who risked their lives, who endured hard ships which cannot comprehend are to be left out in the cold?
 The soldier wants his job back not as gift but as something that belongs to him. He is asking nothing because of the sacrifice he has made-onlv what is his by right.
 These boys fought for and it is up those of us who stayed at home and reaped the benefit of their service to see that these returning are given jobs without delay

 MEDAL 0N A WOMAN

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The first woman to win the American army's distinguished service medal is Miss Beatrice Macdonald, of the reserve nurse corps, who was seriously wounded while remaining at her post with wounded men at British cas- uaity station during a German night raid. Secretary Baker invited her to the war department today to receive the decoration with formal ceremonies.
 Miss MacDonald's home is in New York city. Her citation follows:
 Miss Beatrice Macdonald, reserve nurse, army nurse corps. for extraor- dinary heroism while on duty with the surgical team at the British casualty clearing station, No. 61, British area. During a German night raid she con- tinued at her post of uuty. caring for the sick and wounded until seriously wounded by a German bomb, thereby losing an eye.'
 At the same time the distinguished service medal was awarded to H. M. Adams, director of inland traffic, flor exceptionally meritorious and conspic- uous service with the army of the United States" and to nine officers of the allied armies who have rendered service in Washington in co-ordina- ton of military effort.
 In presenting the distinguished ser- vice cross to Miss Macdonald, Secre- tary Baker asserted it gave him great pleasure ito say that the army of the United States is under deep obligations to the nurses who served so gallantly and so faithfully; that our losses in this war were so slight relatively, is undoubtedly due to the fidelity, self sacrifice and heroism of the women of 1 the nurse corps who ministered to our wounded at the front"

 PROVE SEVERITY IF
 US. COURT MART|ALS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Repre- sentative Johnson of South Dakota, a lieutenant in the army, during the day, renewing his attack in the house today on the present court martial system. charged that General Pershing had refused to comply with an order of the war department demanding the re- turn of al records of court martial proceedings of cases of men sen- tenced to death. for review by the judge advocate general.
 Mir. Johnson declared that six men of the overseas forces had been sen tenced to death and that the sentences not intervene.
 He said it would be impossible to tell whether the death penalties were justified until the records of the trials were examined.
 Mir. Johnson urged passage by the house of the Chamberlain bill provid- ing for a revision of the court martial system. saying the existing military code did not permit of justice and was offensive to any enlightened sense of national justice and to fundamental principles of law
 The secretary or war haS admitted the unjust Judgments of courts mar tial during the war, Mir. Johnson said and has resorted to partial palliatior through the pardoning power.
 Many cases of soldiers being sem fenced to long imprisonment or deatr for trivial offenses, or where there were extenuating circumstances, were cited by MT. Johnson. He told of ono l case where machine gunner in France had been attacked by a cor poral. who had been drinking and was forced to stab him to defend himself ! The corporal died of the wound anc | the gunner was sentenced to thres | years at hard labor, Mir. Johnson said
 Charges are frequently the result of caprice and petty tyranny" he con. tinued. 'There is no judicial investl. gatlon or determination of whether tn, charges actually allege an offense an, whether there is prima facie proof tC sustain them. The power to take soldiers life, or imprison him for life or to other harsh punishment, can b used by any officer of the army. re gnrdless of his rank and experience There is no officer of legal or judicia training who ras authority to inter

WHEAT BILLION |S GRANTED AT
 MIDNIGHT MEET

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-The ad- ministration bill appropriating $1,000, 100000 to fulfill the governments guaranteed wheat price to the farmer for the 1919 crop was passed at 12:30 o'clock this morning by the senate without material amendment and now goes to conference
 No changes was made by the senate in the house provisions for import and export restrictions, or in the limita- tion to June 1, 1920 of the operation of the act. Efforts to reduce the appro- priation and to strike out the licensing provisions failed.
 After adopting an amendment to deny benefits of the bill to growers of 1919 spring wheat, who did not grow 1918 spring wheat, the senate reversed its action and by vote of 31 to 23 struck out the amendment. The only important amendment adopted by the senate was a rider amending the cotton futures act so as l to restrict speculation in cotton and give the government larger control over exchanges.
 Upon motion of Senator Reed of Mis- souri, democrat, who denounced as 'barbarious" the penalties for violation cA thc piil liSSilSluS anu OllleE ItSu lations, the senate reduced the pen alties to a maximum fine of s1,000. Efforts Of southern senators to add a rider to the bill calling for the re- moval of all export embargo restric- tions against cotton failed, the senate voting down the amendment S6 to 2S after a long debate in the course ot which Republican Leader Lodge saiC adoption of the amendment would vio. late the armistice terms, which call fol maintaining the status quo with Ger. many until the peace treaty is com pleted.

NJ RE0PENONC 0F DISCUSSION
 ABOUT LEAGUE
 AT PARIS N0W
President Believes Only Fundamental Principles Would Warrant It - Hitchcock Consumes Much Time Defending Constitu- tion-Answers All Oppon- ents- Debate Shows Signs Of Being Lively.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Further important expressions of opinion on the league of nations came today from President Wilson in his conferences at the capitol, from Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee in an ad- dress to the senate, and from senators and representatives who attended the dinner last night at the White House.
 President Wilson, in discussing the league with members of congress and also at a conference with newspaper correspondents, expressed confidenca in the success of the plan. He also let it be known that he has every expecta- tion of conclusion of peace within few months, and in this connection said that territorial adjustments presented the most delicate problem remaining. Work on all other questions he stated, is rapidly nearing completion oy the commissions appointed to handle them.
 The president was emphatic in ex- pressing his belief that in no particular did the proposed constitution of the league conflict with the American con- stitution or with the Monroe doctrine He also said he had in mind only one amendment. designed to clarify the clause dealing with enforcement of ter ritorial frontiers, and reiterated that he would not address congress before it adjourns and would not ask any formal expression from the senate on the league.
 Not to Reopen Discussion
 MT. Wilson is said to have indicated that he was reluctant to reopen the league constitution before the peace conference. He was represented as feeling that with the document ap- proved unanimously by If powers, after many weeks deliberation, it would be inadvisable to reopen the negotia- tions unless changes proposed were fundamental. The change he has in mind was not so characterized by the executive.
 Senator Hitchcock, in addressing the ! senate, replied to critics of the plan. He declared that the alternatives be- | fore the world were peace with the | league or war and preparations for war without it; the internationalism of na- | tons or that of the socialist, the an- archist and the bolshevist-" The sen- ator flatly denied that the league vio- ] lates either the Monroe doctrine or the principles enunciated by Washington, and charged opponents with magnify ing what they regarded as dangers and with "conjuring up a scare crow.
 Senator Hitchcock answered in de- | tail the recent criticisms of Senators Borah and Cummins of Iowa, republi- cans, and Reed of Missouri, democrat. l Some of their contentious he charac- | teriZed as ridiculous and absurd" He ] said it was not true that the league plans would destroy the Monroe doc Urine or depart from Washington's for eign policy, and like President Wilson he took the position that the worla powers would add to the Monroe doc, trine's guaranty.

 was tentative and still subject to amendment, MT. Hitchcock praised the plan for an executive council con-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Pennsyl- vania avenue re-echoed today for the first time in many years to the tread of victorious American soldiers, men who fought in Europe under the stars and stripes, to help clear the way fN the spread of democratic ideals.
 President Wilson, back only a few days from the peace conference in Paris. led the parade on foot and after marching through cheering thousands from the capitol to the White House, took his place in the reviewing stand with Mrs. Wilson. surrounded by his cabinet, judges of the supreme court, the diplomatic corps and high officers of the American and foreign military forces.
 The parade was organized as a tribute to service men-soldiers' sail ors and marines-from the District of Columbia, but it soon became appar- ent that this first review in Washing ton since victory was won, had more than local significance. Men from every state and every service took part. but especially the presence of hundreds of wounded, who at Chateau Thierry. St. Mihiel and the Argonne helped write the stirring chapters of the American participation in the war made the parade a testimonial of the
