INTERESTING STORIES TOLD
Thirty-Fifth Boys Retained
SidearmS in Berlin.
Huns Were Shocked, but Yanks
Did Not Mind.

Camp Mills. N Y. April 22.-Mem-
bers of the 35th division now awaiting
entrainment for Camp Funston are
the first and only American soldiers
armed. A number of 35th men who
were assigned to patrol service in Ger
many were sent to Berlin. But the
former Kansas and Missouri guards
who shocked and Mortified Berlin by
carrying sidearms and rifles on the
streets of the German capital.
1t was generally understood that al
lied troops would leave their arms
at CoblenZ. But Lieut.. Charles A.
Grimes, secretary of the general staff,
did not follow all the provisions of
the armistice agreement. Berlin was
shocked and Inundated when the SOL
diers from Kansas and Missouri
walked down the streets armed for
immediate action.
Did Not Take Off Arms.
For a week the men of the 35th
division who had been assigned to pa
troll duty in Berlin were the subjects
of the most earnest discussion in Ger
many. Newspapers printed columns
about the temerity of the horrid
Americans. International complica-
tons were limited at. But the former
tensive publicity campaign which they
had started and which for time
promised to attract attention in the
councils of the allies. Not only did
the 35th members wear arms while
on patrol service, but they failed to
disarm when paraded thru the streets
of the city. 1t was the latter offense
which caused German high officials to
threaten demand for an investiga-
ton. Typical Kansas Missouri luck,
tho, seems to have been working even
! on German soil. So far as the Incl
dent was concerned, it seems to have
been forgotten in military circles and
no mention of the affairs has come
from Washington. But the proud
honor of being the first and only al
lied troops to parade the streets of
Berlin armed is another of the war
prizes which the fighting 35th has
brought back to America.
Anxious to Get Home.
! No definite date has been assigned
for the entrainment of 35th units now
| at Camp Mills and at Camp Stuart.
| The men are anxious to leave for
home. They want to see the folks
and see if the old home town really
looks natural. They want to march
down the main street of their home
town. But they want most of all to
get Monochrome to ma and pa and
| Mary.
1t is the desire to leave camp that
| has upset any plans for local celebra-
| tions before entertainment. The men
| are looking toward Kansas ana MIS-
souri, and they want to start.
| A number of men in the various
| organizations will come home carrying
service medals. Four members of Co.
A, 10th engineers. are returning to
Kansas with distinguished service
crosses. The engineers company is
dear to the hearts of Topekans and is
a strictly Kansas unit. Corp. John c.
Light and John Mcintyre of Topeka

machine guns. Sergt. Hugh Caywood

ALLIES SEE BAD FAITH
French Press Brands Hun Dele
gates as 'Couriers"-Next Word
With Foch if They Don't Sign.

Paris, April ga statement issued
here by the Havas News bureau, a
semi-official agency. says that surprise
has been manifested over the fact that
Germany did not select more impor-
tant men for her peace delegation
than Minister Won Haniel, Herr Won
Keller, Ernest Schmidt, Herr Reimker
and Herr Luders, and also that, ac-
coIding to the German note. they will
have power only to receive the text of
the terms and not to sign the treaty.
1t is declared, the statement adds.
that ''in these circumstances the send
ing of these delegates TO Versailles
would be useless"
This mornings newspapers see in
Germany's sending "couriers' instead
of delegates of proper standing to
Versailles nothing but evidence of bad
faith and a transparent maneuver to
gain time.
The Echo de Paris says:
THE allied and associated govern
ments are determined not to accept
subordinate personages. and Germany
will be Immediately notified that she
must send delegates equipped with
full powers to conclude peace. Upon
their arrival at Versailles the first
step will be to demand from them evil
dence that they hold those powers"
The Gaulois, indignant at what it de-
scribes as the impertinence of Ger
many's coup de theater," which it re-
CARDS as a refusal to sign the treaty,
says:
1.-The next word will be with Mar
shall Foch."

Glen Ellison, the popular Scotch
baritone, will be heard in an unique
recital at the high school auditorium
the evening of April %.
There are few men who have made
such a success both in concert and
vaudeville as Glen Ellison. In Europe
and Australia he is better known as
a. singer of baritone opera roles. What
ever he sings is rendered with Won
derful understanding of the require
ments of the selection. deep feeling
and in a wonderfully appealing voice.
1t is when he sings the lovely old
songs of his native Scotland that Mr..
Ellison rises to artistic heights. He
sings them with rare effect. He has
sung leading roles in grand opera in
England and Australia. His concerts
are generally entirely different from
the stilted orthodox kind for he gem
orally includes a few rollicking tunes
that appeal to everybody.
Admittance to the recital will be by

between the two is dead. The worms
were found in the roots of the plant.
