Only Two Men in A. E. F.
Are Unaccounted for by
Officials at Washington

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 2S-
Private Gilbert E. Brown Of Bozeman,
Montana, and William z. Taylor of
Elijah, North Carolina, are the only
American soldiers, of the more than
100000 sent to France, for whom
the War Department has been unable
to account. They are classed as mis-
sing in action" Whether they were
killed in battle, or died of disease in
some obscure place or in prison, or
whether they are still in Europe or
other foreign country, or have re-
turned to the United States, the War
Department has been unable to deter
mine.
The War Departments success in
ascertaining the fate Of every one of
the EXpeditionary Force in France is
regarded as remarkable. In the Civil
War; fought in a relatively small sec
ton of this country, the unknown
dead" were counted by the thousands.
Hardly a national cemetery but has
! hundreds of graves holding the re-
mains of Federal or Confederate sold
icrs who remain unidentified.
Relatives of men who fell in France
have at least the consolation of know
ing the way in which these gallant
Americans died, and where they are
buried. Their bodies are resting in
cemeteries that are practically Ameri-
can soil and that are to be permanent
and beautiful memorials Of the men
who lie in them.

Nation of Israel Was
First Real Democracy

[Charles Foster Kent, in Yale Review ]
The essential democracy of the He
brew commonwealth has hitherto been
overlooked because of the title borne
by Israel's rulers has been invariably
translated king, and the state over
which they ruled, kingdom" Both
translations are misleading, but it is
difficult to find an exact equivalent
for the Hebrew word melech. In the
Hebrew and in the cognate Assyrian
and Aramaic language the root from
which it is derived means to Counsel
or "advise." Gideon, Saul, David and
their successors were, by virtue of
their title as we'll as in fact, simply the
chief counsellors of the united tribes.
Their functions and authority were
practically identical with those Of the
tribal sheik, only they served a larger
and more stable social group. Their
method Of election was even more di-
rect and democratic than that followed
today in electing the President of the
United States.

Millionaires In A Year

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S-A unique love
affair has gotten into court in Nav
Jersey. William Russell Smith wooed

their friends began laying by for the
wedding presents. And then the an
nouncement came like clap Of
thunder out of a clear sky-"the en-
gagement is Off May said it was his
fault and sued William for $4,000.
William said it was Mays fault and
sued for $4,000. May came back with
another suit against William for an
other $4,000. And William countered
with another suit for $4,000. Now if
May wins all her suits she'll have
$4,000. And If William wins all his
he'll have 100000. Then if they marry
each other they'll have $4,000 be-
tween them to begin housekeeping on.
And being married to May. William
won't have to pay that $4,000, and
he'll be just that much ahead, increas-
ing their joint wealth to 100000.
When May marries William she won't

that much ahead. When added to

LONDON-A Leeds soldier who has
recently returned from the Rhine has
made remarkable statement on the
way In which British soldiers there
have been fraternizing with German
girls. says the Times. He says he
went to Cologne Cathedral, and there
say twenty-three British soldiers being
married to German women. The
cathedral was full Of people and Ger
man to whom he expressed surprise
told him it was quite common thing
to see British soldiers marrying Ger
man girls.
The soldier went on to say: lone
man who came home with me told the
| colonel that he would forfeit his graf
rity and all his pay If they would al
low him to remain in Cologne and
marry a German girl. The colonel
said he could not do that, but explain
ed that when he had been demobilized
at home he could get a passport and
| return to Rhineland. That man since
has returned to Germany. When l
told him what I thought about it he
| remarked that he had taken a fancy
to girl with plenty Of money and as
he had no ties in England he might
as well marry her. Any night in

CATERING TO oUrLAwRY.

It might seem a bit surprising that there shSuld be a holding of Ameri- -ean army aviators for ransom under threat or cesth by Mexicans so soon 5sSer the recent warning was given to . the Mexican government tha. there would be change in our policy if a : different attitude was not taken to e ward the protection Of American lives and property Such a situation would naturally be expected Ito arouse Car rauEa to greater efforts in meeting his responsibilities.
 It is true Of course that bandits arc the ones who are directly con- 7cerned in this demand for money or your life" but these bandits are Mexi- gan products. They have no regard for anyone and have carried on their operations for a. long time without calling forth sufficient efforts on the part of the Mexican government to 7 eliminate them. Thus while Carranza may not sanction them he has not recognized the necessity of wipine them out for his own good as well as the safety of foreign subjects. And that is where he has made one of his great mistakes. though he doesn't claim that he hasn't done this thing z because he is not able to. but insists that he has curbed the outlaws and made Mexico a much more peaceful state than it was.
 The seizure of the American ayia- tors is not the urzt irs-anre of this kind but the thin q within. a few weeks. In the prevtous cases the Mexican Government has urged the payment of sne ransom and pledged reimburse ment which is likely to be the course :. adopted in this instance, but it is evil dent that the bandits realize that they shave hit upon a scheme for indirectly tapping the Mexican treasury at will even if It is necessary to cross into this country to get hold of Americans But even though Carranza may be willing to tolerate this it is not likely that this country will take such a view of it.
