Paris Aug. 29 - The hearing of General Pershing by the war expen- ditures investigation committee of Congress has been postponed until tomorrow. It is understood that, in addition to questions of general character regarding the disposition of surplus stocks. General Pershing will be asked about attacks made on the Germans by some American troops the day after the armistice was sign ed and some other features relative to military operations.
 The committee yesterday inquired Into the burning of $1,000,0 900 worth of aviation stock at Colombey-La- Belle and the destruction of motor vehicles at Romartin, of which the French have complained officially.
 There seems to be a difference of appreciation between French and American officials as to the value of the material broken up at Romartin. It was generally considered worthless by American army officers while the

 The Fleet could not use their guns efficiently at night, as they had no star shells and no proper means of using their searchlights. That is why Jellicoe could not follow up the Hun Fleet after the Battle of Jutland.
 Our torpedo was faulty, as 1t went under the German ships instead of hitting them-a sad disappointment to our gallant submarine officers, who risked their lives to get near the German ships.
 A man of war is a floating platform to carry guns, and the accurate use of those guns Is the adl-inportant question.
 At the commencement of the war Sir John Jellicoo had only eight shiDs Of his fleet that were fitted with an efficient method of using their guns, and no ships of his fleet were fitted with an efficient method of using their smaller guns.

OVATION FOR
CAPT. THOMAS
When He Returned From Overseas
Service Last Saturday-Met
By Band.

The ovation accorded Capt. F. p.
Thomas on his arrival in Hopkins
vile from overseas service last Sat-
urday morning, was perhaps the
warmest and most enthusiastic yet
given any returned Hopknsville vet
Gran.
Capt. Thomas reached Hopkins
vile over the L. e. N. at 1905 a. m.
where he was met at the station by
representative body of Hopkins
vile citizen accompanied by Leb-
kuecher's band AS the train slowed
to stop the band played "My Old
Kentucky Home" and when Capt.
Thomas descended to the platform
he was met with welcoming hand
clasps and greetings from a great
crowd of old friends.
The Captain then joined his fam
lily in their automobile and was es-
corted down Ninth Street and out
to his residence on South Main, by
procession of automobiles, headed
by Lebkeucher's band Capt. Thorn
as has ben one of the city's most
prominent physicians for nearly a
quarter of century. He was COM
missioned in the Medical Corps of
the United States Army last sum-
mer, and has since seen service in
hospitals of the A. E. F., both in Eng
land and France.

U. S. HAS BIGGEST
HELIUM PLANT

Washington, D. C.-The only he'll
ium plant in the world is being estab-
hshed by the United States Govern
ment at North Fort Worth, Texas.
1t will cost 100000. Helium. de-
veloped as means of aiding aerial
warfare, removes the danger of fire
in filling gas balloons. 1t is claimed
to have 90 per cent of the lifting
power of hydrogen, and in non-in-
tiammable. The product of certain
gas wells in Clay county, Texas, has
been found best fitted for the ex-
traction of helium, and it will be
piped to North Fort Worth. When
helium is manufactured in large
quantities, experts say it will be pos
sible for large passenger and freight
vehicles to become vehicles of daily
use.
