CobIenz, Germany, April 22.-CBy NaiI.)-Since the beginning of Amer ican occupation of Germany the Knights of Columbus force has stead fly grown until today at CobIenz there is an independent headquarters of the organization with its own com plete equipment. The operations be- yond the Rhine are under the i'm mediate direction of Fred V Milan of Minneapolis. lie has under his con- trol a force of over 100 secretaries This quota would be much larger were il. possible to obtain men for the work. So great has been the need of labor that German civilians in large number are em ployed in the ware house and about the clubs in lesser capacity.
 The entire operation of the Army of Occupation is directed from head quarters in CobIenz. The city Is there fore a. leave area and daily over B. 900 soldiers have enjoyed the liberty of the city. These men come from the far districts of the army, from Treves and the camps situated far up the Rhine or the MoselIe. It is a mighty

 The men come from the outlying camps in the big fleet of river boats plying the Rhine and Moselle rivers They are met by men of the Knights of Columbus and from their arrival fin leave. center of the area. they are urged to make the hnadquarters and club of the organization their homes.
 At Coblenz the visiting soldiers are biIeted in a huge structure formerly known as the FIorient Magazine and there is~ room for 1900 men every night. In this big warehouse nearly 10000 doushnuts are fried on some days. The entire output of each day is sent 10 a given soldier unit in the occupied district. At their destination these dc-icacies are distributed by the head C. the Knights of Columbus secretaries in each club house.
 Tn Coblenz, before the war there was maintained one of the finest mu- nicipal baths in all Germany. The big structure now ts in the hands of the Knights of Columbus who are pro- viding every modern bath, needle, shower, tub, nedicated or just a plain old fashioned sponge and rub, for oyer 300 soldiers, every hour.
 At the enlisted mems club there are eight large rooms where every want of the soldier is supplied. There is also an officers club nearby.
 Across the MoseIle from Coblenz is a, large American garrison, the sol diers of which are not permitted to cross the river. Four clubhouses have been established at that post for the enlisted men and a large club has re- gently been opened for officers.

To Properly Treat
 Obstinate Wrinkles

Particularly where wrinkles are long and deep, the massage devotee Is apt 10 rub too hard and too frequent ly. This Ioosens the skin, causes mus cles to sag, aggravates the wriuzled condiuon-just the opposite result from mat sought
 Better than massage. or anything else, for the most obstinate wrinkles as well as the finest lines, is a re- marka6le formula which you may readily avail yourself of as you will have no difficulty procuring the con- stituents from your druggist. It is this: One ounce powdered saxolite Dissolved in one-half pint witch hazel bathe the face, neck and hands in this. The effect is really marvellous. not only as to wrinkles, but also in cases of baggy cheeks and chin. The application is cooling and soothing, tending to relieve fatigue. both the witch hazel and the saxolite are. of course, entirely harmless to the skin. Adv.

THE AMERICAN SAMARITANS

There is not a man in the Senate OF
the United States who knows the food
situation as does Herbert Hoover /;
there is not one member of that august
body who is as familiar with European
conditions as is the President. Yet
there are members who assert that
EurOpe's need for food is merely Hoov-
er's fancy of the need of market for
American packers.
Not one member has yet aired his
views as to why Woodrow Wilson is
with the world food director in his re-
quest for $100,O00,O00 to feed those
in want. 1t may be that Hoover has
hoodwinked the President; it may be
that the President is also in league
with the packers; it may be that he
merely wishes to assert his power" "
or it may be that Wilson actually
knows that famine and starvation
threaten millions, and that it is Ameri-
cas- peculiar duty and opportunity to
fight this confederate of death.
In the Senate is gathered, supposed
ly, the brains of the country. Each
of the ninety-six members is counted
an expert The nation will grant that
all qualify as experts in politics, but
they are not experts on food relief.
Hoover has proved to America, to
Belgium and to the Allies that he is
an expert on this vital phase of life;
Wilson has proved to the world that
he has fundamental and comprehen
sive knowledge of human needs and of
human conditions as they exist today
America must heed the voice of
these two servants of hers and stop
the wrangle of the other servants in
Washington.

THE OPEN COLUMN
As to a Hospital.


Editor the Missourian: In our
beautiful and enlightened city, the
home of an important states univer-
sity. it would be splendid to be the
first American city to adopt the GUS
tom of a sister American republic
(Chile) of hOnoring deceased friends
by giving gifts to hospitals Tor other
organized charity instead of placing
wreaths of flowers that must perish in
a day, ON the biers of our dead de-
parted. A similar sensible custom
obtains quite generally throughout the
Orient; they honor the birthday of
an aged parent or other relative, by
substantial gifts to charity, Christian
hospitals asking no question for con-
science sake" when confronted with
the question of accepting the proffered
pagan gift.
In passing, there is soon to be con-
sidered the question of more adequate
hospital facilities for Columbia. Given
the right to own and operate a hos
pital for the benefit OF her citizens, a
city or county must always to an ex-
tent depend upon gratuitous offerings
to make it possible to care for her

Y. VI. c. A. DESERVES CREDIT

The war work of the YMC.A. in
France seems to be rather obscure to
the general public today. This organ
izatiOn has never boasted of its work
and even in its campaigns for money
throughout the country it did not claim
to do the impossible" in caring for
our service men abroad.
Recently there have been several
attacks made on the Y.M.C.A. for prof
iteering on the goods that were distri-
buted by the "Y" secretaries in France.
Such attacks are wholly unfounded
and absolutely false.
All the tobacco, chocolate and other
things that were sold to the service
men by the ~" secretaries were sold
as cheaply as possible, in some cases
at loss. and never at a profit. The
YM.C.A. was not able to transport
these goods in large amounts as cheap
ly as the Government could do it.
hence the prices were a little higher
than the prices made by the US. quar-
termaster Here is where the reports
were started that the "Y" was prof
iteering on its goods sold
But the ~" secretaries went into
the front line trenches and gave the
boys food and smokes when the latter
were most needed. They followed the
men from trench to trench, undergo
ing the same dangers as the men doing
the actual fighting. They delivered
the goods directly to the men and at
times when they were most needed.
Does this important fact not offset
the small increase in price which the
men were asked to pay? And they
were asked to pay it only because of
the poor facilities of transportation
which the "Y' had. due perhaps part

himself alone. not thinking of others.
And it is only after he has cast off

hated and despised as much as Grant
Adams, a carpenter with fanatic
dreams, is loved.
But for all of this the judge brings
about the death of Grant and in doing
so he fails the last test of his charac-

A BONE DRY WORLD

1t is quite true that as soon as we
get one thing we want another.
Now that the Anti-SalOon League of
American has made good its slogan,
"A dry Nation by 1920, it has taken
another, "a bone-dry world"
This colossal task will require a
campaign fund of five million dollars
a year as compared to the two million
a year required for prohibition cam
paigning in this country. The anti
saloon propaganda will be conducted
through religious, educational and in
dustrial organizations. The methods
of these publicity and propaganda
campaigns will be the same as those
used in the United States.
The special efforts of the league,
however, will be directed toward the
securing of the right kind of diploma
tic representatives. AS the United
States is a prohibition country, it is
thought that her representatives
should express her policy.

THIS MILD WINTER

Most persons think of a mild winter
such as this one as being merely pleas
ant. 1t means much more than that to
many. To those who find it difficult to
get enough clothing, fuel and shelter
for the cold months. mild winter is
a godsend.
Many Americans are thankful for
the mild winter for this reason. How
much more thankful are the Armen-
ians. the Belgians and the other un-
fOrtunates of Europe, who need relief
so badly. To them the coming of
spring will mean comfort and blessing
more than pleasure.
