SALVATION ARMY
"LASSIE" OF 60
RETURNS HOME

New York, May 2.-.'Ma" Burdick
so years old Salvation Army "lassie"
mother to thousands of doughboys
with the A. E. F. returns to New
York today on the NEW Amsterdam
from Brest
At the front she worked under
shell fire, her silvered head protected
by a steel helmet. She cut off the
rain and mud soaked tails of the
doughboy's long coats and fashioned
the remnants into fatigue caps. She
fried flapjacks over a stove fashion
ed from scrap metal and turned the
toothsome batter cakes with a scrap
of tin roofing. Her hostel was some-
times a shell hole and sometimes a
cellar or barn. She moved her
headquarters as the army moved and
found time to hold gospel meetings
and song services at which many
conversions were reported. She fin
ally worked herself into a condition
of extreme weakness and was found
lying i'll in the loft of a shell torn
stable. She was taken to a military
hospital in Paris. When she recuper-
ated she returned to the front.
Mrs. Burdiek was among the first
women war workers to arrive in
France.

AMERICAN TROOPS

War Department Plans The
Early Return of Expedi-
I tionary Forces.

Washington, May 2.-Determinatio
of President Wilson, indicated in press
ladvices from Paris, that no American
troops shall continue on German soil
for longer period after the signing
of the peace treaty than may be neces-
sary to embark them for home, is
borne out by present plans of the war
department which contemplate the re-
turn OF the entire American expedi-
tionary forces by September. Be-
cause of this, General March, chief
of staff. is making every effort to
speed up the rehabilitation in this
country.
An official announcement issued to-
day as to the accumulation of surplus
clothing for the troops stated that
the estimates were based on troop
withdrawals to be completed in Sep

The statement also said that "if an
army Of occupation is maintained aft
er September, portion of this sur
plus will be needed"
This computation was taken to re-

The September date represents esti-
mates by embarkation officials as to
the maximum possible speed in with
drawing the entire force in Europe,
including the troops holding the Cob

If anything, officers anticipate that
the movement will be accelerated
rather than retarded.

No Important Happenings

citation.
(By The Associated Press

! Aside from discussion by the coun-
! Gil Of three of minor articles of the
peace treaty, Friday, in the peace
conference circles in Paris was a
quiet day. Likewise at Versailles,
where the German delegates are
awaiting the pleasure of delegates of
the allied and associated governments
to hand them the terms of peace,
there We're no extraordinary happen
ings.
With the controversy between Italy
and the council of three still unset
tied, and the Chinese delegation re-
ported to be disposed to protest
against the award of Kiao- Chau to
the Japanese, Belgium now is de-
clared to be dissatisfied with the
terms of the peace treaty as regards
her territorial desires in Germany.
Apparently, no great attempts are
being made by the council Of three to
bring about a reconciliation in ideas
with the Italian delegates. The French
ambassador to Italy, however, has

Nearly Every Person In The
Country Reached.
MOST DISTRICTS
RUNNING BEHIND
st. Louis District Leads The Nation
Will, @.Gs Per Cent OF Quota
Already Taken.

! Washington, May 2.-The need of
the government for funds to bring the
war to successful conclusion, today
was. carried directly to every per-
son in the United States who could
be reached, as result of the slow
ness Of the public in volunteering
subscriptions to the Victory Liberty
! loan.
Latest figures compiled by the
treasury department tonight showed
81 ,497 "a ,6O0-less than one-third Of
the loan quota-subscribed. Indivi-
dual subscriptions in nearly every re-
serve district were said to be run
ming far short of those in previous
loans apparently indicating that the
people were not awake to the neces-
sity for raising the full $4,5OG,0O0, 900
asked for, in order to bring the men
back from overseas, complete demob-
iliZation and care for those wounded
in the service. Plans Immediately
were laid and kilograms sent to every
state organization in the country to
max the last seven working days of
the loan campaign productive of suf-
ficient individual subscriptions to put
the loan "over the top" without call
ing on the financial institutions and
tying up credit.
st. Louis Still Leads.
The st. Louis federal reserve dis
trict leads the country, in having
subscribed 59.6S per cent of it's quota,
and two other western districts, Chi
rcago and Minneapolis rank second
and third, respectively. The south
west or Dallas district, was at the
bottom when ithe latest tabulation of
subscriptions was made. 'l,--
The amounts subscribed by the
federal reserve districts. together
with the percentage of quota attain
ed by each district, as officially re-
ported to the treasury tonight in
cluded:
Subscription Pct
St. Louis $116, 1885 ,050---59
Kansas City - $3.50, 90O---35.8
Richmond -.$ 70,337 ,050---33.4
Atlanta $ 81 $50 5O0---24.0
Dallas ---$ 1884 ,S50---l 1913
The Richmond district today report
ed the largest gain of any single day
since the campaign began, increasing
it's subscriptions nearly $1O,OO0,O0O,
taken by 1928 persons.
In the Dallas district, 1902 counties
are over the top. Subscriptions in
Texas alone comprise $16.000,000 of
the districts total.

JEFFERSON COUNTY
GOES over TOP
1....lAa ML0AN DRIVE
Final Drive Nets $4,000
More Than County's
Quota. ..,n.

Jefferson county once more demon
strated it's 100 per cent Americanism,
when yesterday afternoon at $3.50
o'clock, the full quota, and $4,000
over the quota, was subscribed to the
Victory Liberty loan, making .the to-
tai amount subscribed 81 ,138, 900, and
also making Jefferson county the first
large county in the state to subscribe
it's quota. 1t a A.
1t will not be attempted to enumer-
ate those who are responsible for the
drive going over the top. That would
require almost complete register of
the citizens of Jefferson county Yet,
the work of those on the committee,
who gave all of their time, and all OF
their energies deserve unstinted
praise, while the banks of the city,
which, as the vice-chairman of the
campaign said last night, make 1t
possible to go over today" were high
ly responsible for the success of the
drive. -14
The following telegram was sent
yesterday afternoon to. the headquar-
tiers OF the Eighth district at st. Louis.
Jefferson county over the top at
$3.50 o'clock. Quota fully subscribed.
Jefferson county believes in keeping
the faith with the boys who died in
Flanders fields. Please record the
fact that our county has never failed,
and was among those that finished
the job, because such a record will
be worth while in the years to come.
"W. B. SORREIlLS,
'.Vice County Chairman
In answer to that, the following
telegram was received from William
Thompson, federal director at st.
Louis
wv. B. Sorrells, your message an
nouncing sale of entire quota is deep

county in the Eighth district would

vey to your associates and to the peo-
pie of Jefferson county my apprecia-

of Arkansas, last night sent the fol-
lowing telegram .4

Several Radicals Are Under

DETAILS OF WORK
ARE WITHHELD
Dynamite In Bombs Are Soaked In

department of justice, postoffice in
spectors, and New York detectives
under Inspector Faurot, continued to-
day their hunt for the anarchists who
deposited in the mails more than
score of deadly dynamite bombs ad-
dresses to prominent men in all parts
of the country, but no arrests have
been made thus far. 1t was minated
however, that several radicals were
under suspicion.
Details of the progress made in the
inquiry were not disclosed on the
ground that undue publicity might
enable the reds sought to escape.
Captain H. d. Trounce, explosives
expert Of the bureau of mines, arriv-
ed here today from Washington.
With experts of the police and fire
departments, he made a close exam
nation Of the bombs. 1t was found
that the dynamite used in them was
of the ordinary commercial variety,
but that it had been soaked in nitro
glycerine to make it more deadly.

The bombs which have not yet been
examined were hastily removed from
the postoffice today when it was dis
covered that the acid in the phials
designed to explode illuminate Of
mercury caps, was eating through
the corks, threatening an explosion.
Officers at work on the case are
virtually convinced the Internal ma.

expressed satisfaction at their sue
cess in finding the plant which
manufactured the paper used as a
covering fot the bombs. Only small
quantity of the paper has been dis

It was said tonight there appeared
to be no connection between the bomb
conspiracy and the finding of
