why Rand Did Not Appear.

why 6dnd Di0 MOT Appear.
To the Editor of The Gate City:
There have been many questions
asked and much criticism evoked be
cause of the failure of the Peoples
Institute band to appear at the union
station Thursday evening to escort
the returning soldiers.
AS manager and director of the
band | feel that some explanation is
due the soldiers and the general pub
lie.
The fact of the matter is that with
in the past three or four weeks the
band (for the purpose of strengthen
ing many weak places) has under
gone a decided change in instrument
tation and this being true has never
in it's present lineup played q
marching engagement.
The director did not receive word
until about noon on Thursday, when
it seemed a problem as to notifying
the members; besides, there were four
members on the sick list.
The director sorely regrets the in
cident, but realizing that the band
has always made fairly good show
ings on public occasions, deemed it
under the circumstances
to attempt something that seemed a
sure failure.

To the Editor Of The Gate City:
In the March 10 issue Of The Gate

club has given the Keokuk Concert
band the entire credit for rendering
services on patriotic occasions.
We wish to call the attention of
the general public, as well as the
Commercial club, to the fact that
there are two other Keokuk bands
who also participated in patriotic
work, namely, the Keokuk Commu.

Problem for Ethnologist.
How so many different types
OF people located there is a problem
for the ethnologist," resumed DR..
Beech. "One theory is that they
represent all the warning tribal ele-
ments, that have come into the
continent of Asia and driven by the
Mongols and Tartars, made their
last stand in this natural refuge
between India, China and the
northern partof Asia.
Each tribe is independents OF the
other, all speak a patois OF Thib-
etan and Turkestan. and their re-
ligion seems to be animistic or that
OF the Llamas. The most numerous
are the Lolos, which, again are sub
divided into smaller tribes. Others
are the Miaos, who are polyand-
rous or polygamous. These people,
| believe, are responsive TO Chris
tian influences and kind treatment
and $50 missionaries would bring
to them The enlightenment they
SO much need. Nothing has ever
been done for them by civilization.
"All OF the natives are farmers or
herdsmen. The latter raise huge
numbers OF goats. hundreds OF
thousands OF which can be seen
on the mountain sides. Recently,
or since the Shincse have equipped
their army with modern rifles, the
Chinese have opened up trading
with the 'tu-ren' and now vast
quantities OF raw wool and hides
are being exchanged. The Chinese,
too, are utilizing some OF the val
leys to raise opium, but this is done
without the approval OF the Peking
government"
Speaking OF the possibilities for
expanding trade in the Orient DR..
Beech declared China alone could
enable the great powers to recoup
their war losses. They are hungry
Tor American goods" he said, "and
the field is unlimited, The Chinese
people arc highly cultured, even the
poor coolies, and they desire only
the best things. China is rich in un-
told undeveloped resources. Make
it possible to develop the resources
OF China and the Chinese people
will become the greatest aggrcga-
ton OF purchasers in the world"

THEY CAN'T PUT IT OVER

T1RlENDS OF Dr. Leonard Wood maior.general
l in the American army, remain peeyed because
the doctor was not sent to France ir place OF
General Pershing, so that he might be in line for
the presidency. All through the war they made
much ado over the failure OF the war department to
recognize DR.. Wood the only general who could
fill the bill Apparently there no other generals
in the United States army fit and fine enough to go
to France and take charge of the expeditonary forces
Only DR.. Wood
We had supposed, now that the war is won and
lmperishable glory has been shed upon American
arms that the Wood faction had subsidized But now it
breaks out in fresh spot, with democratic CON
GRESHAM from Massachusetts reading in the house OF
representatives letter signed by forty wounded Of
f!cers' who appear to imagine that il DR.. Wood had
been in General Pcrshings place they might not haye
been hit so hard by the Hun bullets-or something
like that. Representative Gayan read letter CON
tanning this:
"Whcn General Wood visited the front he was
treated more like German spy than an officer OF the
United States, We have the word OF several coonels
that know him well for this lie was ordered back
from his visit here without being allowed to vis! the
Italian front, yet he was kept in a corner all the time
Who did it,
The forty wounded officers may he answered by
saying that whatever was done to or with Dr.. Wood
as a general in the army done by the war depart
mcn in the regular course OF conducting the military
affairs oi the nation. The war department switched
around many very able generals, Dr. Wood being
amongst them. The switching around was done TO
ut pegs into holes where the pegs were needed. Dr.
Wood did very valuable service at home camps where
he was needed.
There was a comparatively small party OF admin

AS NAVY COMMANDER IS

Washington, April 17.-Designation
of Admiral T. Mayo, as commander-m-

disclosed today. was part of a plan for
unity of command in the navy worked
out by the bureau of operations on the
basis OF experience in the world war.
The complete plan, however. has not
been approved by Secretary Daniels.
Under the pre-war system three sep
arate commands were maintained for
the Atlantic. the Pacific and the Asiat-
ic fleets. with each fleet officer having
equal rank. The commander-in-chief
of the Asiatic forces now is a rear
admiral and when Admiral Caperton
relnquishes command Of the Pacific
fleet ON April 30, Admiral Mayo will
be the ranking fleet officer
