SMALL BOY adopts"
SOLDIER FOR NIGHT

Nine-year-old Leoline Klus has a
brother in the service. That is one
reason why he is interested in any
lad who wears khaki. Another reason
is the fact that Leoline is regular"
hoy. whose ideal of a perfect existence
is to wear uniform and go about
shooting the enemy.
When truck train of soldiers went
through the city recently, Leoline was
al their camping place in the l. O. ..
f. hall watching them prepare mess. "
They were what his ideal of a soldier
should be, and he thought how fine
II would be to have one in his home
even for a night. He said something
about it to the officer in charge. Strict
ly construed the military rules of dis
cipline might have forbidden a SOL
der from going home all night with
n small hero-worshiper, but the officer
was good scout" He assigned one
of the soldiers to go home with Leo
line, the only provision being that he
was to get him up at four o'clock in
the morning.
The boz kept his promise, and to-
day he received letter from "his''
soldier, Corporal Frances, saying that
he had arrived safely in Baltimore.
and that he might return in week
or two when he hoped to see Leoline's
hospitality once more.
The other night Leoline was per-
mitted to stay all night with the sol
diers. He got up at four, had mess
with the men in khaki and was ready
for work when they were.

Ceneralissimo.

TREvES, Jan. 1S.-It Is the convic.

Germany and France
He expressed this clearly today
when he received American newspaper
correspondents.
The Marshal is here in connection
with the meeting concerning the ex-
tension Of the German armistice.
Marshal Foch points out the diff
culties that had been overcome. and
said that peace must be commensur-

HENzOLLERN HAS
APPEARANCE NOW OF
Man OF SEVENTY
tBy Associated Press,

AMROGEN, Holland, Jan. 1S.-Wil-
liam Hohenzollern's illness. which
manifests itself principally in the form
of chills, is being aggravated by his
constant worriment, the effects of
which are plainly visible in his feat
ures and his general physical condi-
ton.
The former German emperor looks
to be perhaps fifteen years older than
when he crossed the frontier of Hol-
land. Although he is only about to
complete his sixtieth year, his birth
day coming at the end of the present
month, his appearance suggests man
of seventy. He wears short gray
ish beard and a dropping moustache,
and his hitherto firm flesh is now
sagging.
The guards around the castle are
maintaining the strictest vigilance in
consequence of the revival Of rumors,
| which. however. do not seem to be
well founded, that an attempt might
be made to kidnap the ex-emperor.
Dutch airplanes from the aviation
camp near Utrecht occasionally fly in
the vicinity of the castle and the roar
of the motors is not calculated to di-
minish the nervous tension of the in
mate.
The ex.emperor, who had always
been accustomed to smoke a consid-
cradle number of cigarettes daily, now
has become greater consumer of to-
bacco than ever. AS soon as one Gig
arctic is finished, he starts another,
his smoking continuing virtually from
the moment he arises until he retires.
Herr Hohenzollern's meals with his
wife are of the simplest possible sort
Water is the only beverage taken at
table. but in the forenoon the ex-ruler
drinks small glass of light red wine
and in the evening a half glass be-
fore going to bed

her chamberlain to Amsterdam over
week end to order a birthday pres
ent for her husband

TELLS OF FEDERAL
WORK FOR SOLDIERS

THE United States government took
American civilians when war was de-
clared and made them soldiers; now
the federal board of vocational educa-
ton and placement is taking those
soldiers and making them civilians
again." said John M'Keown, general
manager of vocational work in the dis
trict, who was in Richmond Saturday.
Mr. M'Keown explained that the
work will be done in cooperation with
the home service department of the
Red Cross, and will not be directly
affiliated with any other organization.
The first case in Richmond to be
taken care of by the board Is that OF
Frank A. Routh, of POI Randolph
street, who saw active service with the
Marine Corps, and received his hon
orable discharge for disabilities. Routh
was sent to Valparaiso, Indiana. last
week, where he will be given a full
course in Commercial work. He was
an enlisted man, having been in the
service since September %. 1916.
"Of special interest to some Rich
mond people will be one of our main
problems, but one which we are not
going to have a great deal of trouble
in answering-that Of caring for the
blinded who are going to return from
Europe. There will be about 200 OF
them from the United States, and a
majority of them will be placed in
piano factories. 1t may be that some
will be sent here to your town. There
are many openings everywhere, and
these men will be capable of doing a
large number of things

headquarters in the State.

THE answer to the problem of shoe

For five months, says MI. Evans, Il
have been wearing the same pair of
Neolin-soled shoes at my work at the

my work takes me to all parts of the

the question to buy anything else to
take the place of Neolin Solos,
You too-and your whole family-will
