FRANCE TO ISSUE
MEMORIAL TO
j. S. TROOPS
AIRY FORCES TO RECEIVE
PAMPHLET

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 49,
France will soon issue a memorial
pamphlet to every man who served
in the American expeditionary
forces. Distribution will be made
through the army publicity bureau
in New York at some future date.
This is the Information received
from the war department today by
the army recruiting news service,
go Market street, Sau Francisco.
1t is contemplated that the pamph-
let will be kept by the recipients as
a Souvenir de Ia Guerre." The
memorial voices the feeling of
France to America and her noble
sons. who were over there, not omit
ting those who gave their all for
liberty. In an elegant introduction.
appears this high tribute to all
American soldiers:
the struggle, which has lasted for
three years against German imper-
ialism, you came as strong youths
into a country where the young had
persisted. To the weeping you
brought a smile, to those who had
been %despoiled your generosity re-
stored hope, to the fatherless chill
dren you offered joy. The summing
up of these recollections must re-
main an inspiration to you and to
those who follow you-in all future
efforts.
"Often, marching toward dusk,
along some valley road in France,
you have watched the tights as they
began to shine out from the win
dows of the little farm house, while
the mists gradually enveloped all
but the shadowy forms of objects
almost indistinguishable. Let it be
so in your minds when you think of
France; remember the innumerable
small houses which almost two mil
lion men have died to save, and
those hearths where a fire still
burns, though the poilu who left it
will never return. II any harsh
thoughts remain, let the mists un-
fold all that is not the a of
this Withdrawing together in fra
ternal love of those who have suf-
fered. This is the prayer of France.
Together with the gratitude of
her living, there is a stirring mem
DRY of her dead. 1t carried it's mes
sage to you as a blessing from those
who, because of your gallant sacri-
flee, shall not have given their lives
in vain"
The pamphlet is a tabloid history
of Americas participation in the
world war, beginning with the Can
tigny operation where the gallant
First division made history, to the
attack on the heights of Sedan, just
before the armistice was granted.
American soldiers who married
French girls, will also find some
very interesting reading in the por-
ton of the book allotted to the home
life of France.
These pamphlets are not available
for distribution at the present time,
but a supply is expected before the
first of January. The process of
distribution to discharged men is
not yet known. Publication will be
given details when they are learned.

SEATTLE Wash, Dec. 16.-
Atavism explains the discovery of
blonde Eskimos" in Victoria Land
in the Arctic, reported by Viljhal-
mar Stefansson, in the opinion of
James r. Crawford, a member of
the second Stefansson expedition,
who has come out OF the north for
the first time in Is years.
The blonde natives are throw
backs" Of early white explorers,
Crawford believes. He expressed
surprise that the existence of an
entire tribe of blondes was generally
believed. He was with ~StefanssOn
when the blondes we're discovered.
"In Victoria Land Crawford
said, there are probably three
tribes or villages, comprising sew
eral hundred natives, in which these
light Eskimos r found But
there are fewer than a dozen of the
blondes, SO far as we were able to
learn, in the entire land. They had
gray eyes, light eyebrows, reddish
brown hair, and their skins are
slightly lighter than that of their
brothers, although not noticeably so.
THE natives made 1t known that
they had never seen white man be-
fore, and probably they had not"
Crawford said. But their ances-
tore did see white men. probably
looking for a new land, who never
lived to get back to civilization.
There was one little girl who
possessed the most pronounced
markings of blondeness. the daugh-
ter of two dusky natives, whose hair
was black and who had black beady
eyes. The parents knew of no
a for the reddish hair and
gray eyes of their offspring"

shortly after he had returned to
civilization on the steam whaler
Herman. which had picked him up
on a floe near Victoria Land, in

him when the ice breaks in the

CHAMP OF EUROPE
MAY Be EASY
FOR DEMPSY
LITTLE HOPE THAT FRENCH
FLASH WILL HOLD UP
AGAINST DEMPSEY

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Georges
%fpentier's stock as a heavyweight
battler of class has risen skyward
since he flattened Joe Beckett in so
seconds.
The shifty Frenchman proved be-
yond the shadow of a doubt that he
is a long, long way from the pugilis-
tic boneyard, and he deserves the
praises that are being showered up
on him.
His victory was popular because
he was the under dog. He was out
weighed by Beckett and went into
the ring a second choice in the bet
ting. Then, before a minute of the
first round had passed, he delivered
the punch hat put the Briton down
and. out and kept Georges crown as
heavyweight champion of Europe
nicely balanced on his brow.
This battle, however. sensational
LuOukn IL was, uiu hot my
thing that looked like a test for the
Frenchman. Beckett might just as
we'll have been occupying a seat at
the ringside for all the opposition
he furnished.
Georges, therefore, cannot be
hailed as a world beaten, and so far
as the American fistic fan is con-
cerned he stands just about where
he did before. The fact that he
proved that he is not in the has
been elass is a source of satisfaction

The public can now feel reasonably
sure. that Jack dempsey will meet a
worthy opponent in the Frenchman,
regardless of whether or not he
sizes up as an opponent of danger
u capacity
Joe Beckett's showing against the
French idol indicates that England
must look long and hard for a
worthy successor to Jem Mace.
Beckett was the best of the British
heavyweight lot. He Won his right
to the British title by knocking out
Frank Goddard, an eve slower pugi-
list than himself. whereas he proved
as putty in the hands of the fast
moving, hard-hitting Frenchman.
When Carpenter ultimately faces
Jack Dempsey he will come in con-
tact with a veritable whirlwind OF
action embodied in a fighter who is
er and heavier. Carpenter may
! a better boxer than Dempsey, as
some contend. He may have more
science. Yet the fact remains that
Dempsey has never been marked up
by any of his opponents and his
style of attack is SO terrific that
science on Carpenters part will
very probably be devoted to protect

HAD PREMONITION THAT
HE WOULD BE KILLED

PILOT, Ark, Dec. 12.-The be-
lief was expressed by j. NJ. Hubble,
postmaster, minister, physician and
farmer here to his wife a few days
ago that he would be murdered.
That night Hubble was found dead
with his throat cut, his jaw broken
and his head crushed.
1t is believed robbery was the
motive for the crime, as Hubble was
known to have recently sold a farm
for $4,000.

Washington, Feb. S.-Printing OF the
official transcript of testimony OF
Captain E. G.. Lester, Of the army it,
telligence service before the senate
committee Investigating German
propaganda has disclosed an error in
the Associated Press reports of state
ments lby Captain Lester regarding
the employment of j J. Dickinson in
Washington by George Sylvester Vie
reck before the United States entered
the war. Captain Lester testified that
Dickinson was employed in 1916 and
in response to questions stated there
was nothing in his investigatio to
show any German coectios or German
activities by Dickinson after Febru-
airy. 1917.
The error, occurring in the report
of a discussion by Captain Lester,
of letter written to President Will

war, in which Viereck proested 10y

statement that i was only short time
after writing this letter that Viereck

ASKS OBSERVANCE
OF SCOUT SUNDAY

One of the strongest and most
highly valued endorsements of the
Boy Scouts of America has been Civ
en- by the Hon. Philander P. Claxton
Commissioner of Education of the
to the Churches" issued by the Com
missioner from the Bureau of Educa-
ton in Washington, he tells of the
great problem of looking after the
leisure time Of boys while they are
not at school or under the direct SUI
pervision of home or church, and
points out that especially during the
period of early adolescence it should
be the object of the modern educa.
tional ideal to have the entire wax
ing life of the body filled with super
vised, directed activity. hTe available
ity of the Boy Scout program for such
purpose, he says has been fully tested.
This endorsement, say national Of
ficials of the Boy Scouts of America
presents strong reason why pastors
should act on the suggestion that they
preach special sermons on this great
national boy welfare movement on
the specially designated Scout Sunday
February 8.
Commissioner Claxton's letter fol-
lows:
Persons of vision declare that we
are entering upan renaissance in
education. Let us hope that this pre-
diction finds its justification in the
awakening to the consciousness of
teachers to the infinite possibilities
of development of the educative pro-
cess
In the particular unit of secondary
education, which we are beginning to
call the Junior High School, and which
covers the period of early adolescence,
the modern educational ideal con-
ceives the entire waking life of the
boy as filled with supervised, direct
ed activity. The School, the Home and
the Church has each it's responsibility
for the development of the boy in
this, his most impressionable period.
Granting that each discharges it's
obligation to the boy, there still re-
mains residue of unemployed leisure
sufficiently large to menace all the
accomplished by these three great

AGENTS WILL AID
FARMERS TO GET
NITRATE OF SODA

Owing to the fact that many farm
ers did not get their orders for nitrate
of soda to the County Agents before
January 25, our Agents have secured
an extension of time from Washing
ton permitting farmers to order nj
trate up to and including Saturday,
February 18th.
Congress authorized the Secretary
of Agriculture to use $10,000,000 for
the purchase of nitrate to be sold to
farmers direct at actual cost, to in
crease food production and to relieve
the fertilizer situation. The nitrate is
shipp in 200 Id bags and sold at the
rate of $81 per ton plus freight
charges from port Of entry.
Nitrate of soda is generally used
as top-dressing on cotton, corn, and
all truck crops at the rate Of fifty to
one hundred pounds per acre. Farmers
of jefferson County last year secured
seven thousand pounds of nitrate
from the Government. This year or
ders for over thirty eight thousand
pounds have already been placed with
Messrs Lambert and Thomas. Any
farmer desiring to take advantage of
this opportunity to save thirty dollars

THE, VICTORIOUS FIFTH.

The Victory Loan-thar Is the
name by which the fifth and last of
the great series of Liberty Loans will
be known. It will come this spring,
along in April, and will be for an
amount that will be made public by
Carter Glass, Secretary of the Treas
ury.
No matter what amount, it will be
subscribed as willingly and as cheer
fully as were the other loans The
need is as pressing now as it was
when the great guns were laundering
their messages of war, and the Nation
was Juggling at the leash ready to
spring at the German throat.
There is even a greater incentive.
now than there was on other loans.
Then there was always the chance,
but it must be admitted it was most
remote, that Germany might win the
war. But it was American dollars and
American Drawn that actually made
the German quit.
But our victory is not won until the
last khaki clad soldier is home from
foreign lands. And then the honor of
our Nation is at stake. We have con-
tracted billions of dollars of war
debts. They must be paid, or the war
will have been won in vain. The re-
venue of the country will not meet
the obligations that have piled up.
If the people do not buy Victory
Liberty Bonds then the money must
be raised by taxation. 1t is good
business to buy bonds. Then the pur-
chaser gets fair rate of interest for
the money he lends Uncle Sam. If he
pays the war debts in taxes he gets
nothing in return.
1t would be unthinkable to have the
Victory Liberty Loan fail It will not
fail. Every loyal American will back
his country once he realizes that his
Nations honor is at stake and that
it can be saved by simply making
the best investment on earth-a bond
backed up by the wealth of all Amer
lea the richest and most powerful
country on earth.
