 in France
By Associated PresS

Washington, February g. Plans for bringing home the bodies of all officers, sailors and marines now buried on for eign soil are being worked out by the navy department, and the actual work will be under taken within the next few months. The wishes of rela- tives, however, will govern not only as to the return of the bodies, but also as to their final disposition. Those brought home either will be sent for ward for private interment o, buried in the Arlington or some other national cemetery, as the relatives may decide.
 The departments announcement today expressed a preference for bringing home all bodies. It was pointed out that as n result of the careful preparation made at the outbreak of the war it had been possible to return the bodies of hundreds of those who died overseas. In the case of marines and naval attachments serv- ing with the army however this was no. possible and instead a careful system of permanent marking of graves was main . tained If the nearest of kin of any of the men who gave their lives for their country desire, the dead will be lief, to rest in France. probably in special pur- chased American cemetery sites where perpetual care and recognition will De assured.
 The departments statement said that where bodies were brought home for bur- ial in national cemeteries, full military honors would be accorded and that where private interment was desired, the navy would prepay all expenses up to delivery , of the casket to relatives and that the war risk insurance bureau of the treas ury woudl refund actual burial expenses not exceeding s1O0 in each case upon presentation of the claims.

.PERSH|NC REQUESTS HELP FOR RUSSIAN
 PRISONERS 0F WAR
Red Cross Will Establish Headquarters in Berlin, Where Proper Attention
 Can Be Given

Washington, February 9-At
 the request of General Pershing the American Red Cross has appointed a commission to co
 operate with the interallied
 commission for the feeding
 care and repatriation of Rus
 sian prisoners of war in Ger
 many" which has been estab- lished at Berlin.
 In making this announcement toda, the Red Cross said it had arranged tc furnish large stores of clothing. medi- cal and surgical supplies as well as food for sick and convalescent prison CTS, who are estimated to number more than 100000. The commission will be- gin work this week under Maj. Car Taylor. who has been released from tht army for this service, and immediately will inspect the more than 200 prisor camps in which Russian risoners are held.
 At one time, said the announce. ment, Germany reported 100000 pris- oners in its camps, but by deaths and releases this number is now supposed to have been reduced 10 about $50, 900. owing to the lack of medical atten- I tion and the fact that the Russian prisoners are receiving hardly 50 pei cent of the amount of nutriment neces- sary to keep an unemployed persor alive, the death rate among them ha: been very high. The death rate ha! also been increased by bad sanitar, conditions. The Russian government is unable to provide food or care for its people and has made no provisions fo' their repatriation.

 would perhaps be moro accurate to say there there Is a lull in the storm. At least 1t is as well to face squarely all of the possibilities.
 Recent disclosures have enabled us to look deeper into the purposes of the enemy than we could heretofore It was not purely a dream of military domina- ton on the part of Prussia.

PRELIMINARY WORK SOCIETY OF NATIONS HAS BEEN FINISHED
Fourteenth Article Has Been Reached, and Commission Hopes to Conclude
 Early This Week
By Associated Prsss

Paris, February S.-(Satur- day. )-'HThe most important part of the preliminary work of establishing a society of na- tions has been concluded" said Prof. Ferdinand Larnaude, dean of the law facuiry of the University of Paris, and with Leon Bourgoise, a Frencn dele gate on the commission of the society of nations, m discussing the work of the commission to- day.
 We have reached the fourteenth ar ticleN he said. "and we expect to con eirde preliminary discussions 4early next week. The articles which have been adopted deal with the desire of the so- ciety to prevent future wars What re- tcrrational transportation. commerce and fir ancial affairs, and we expect the dele gates to agree promptly"
 Asked if the departure of President Wilson, Premier Lloyd George and Pre- mier Orlando would affect the continu- ance of the commissions work Prof, Larnaude replied "No. the work will go on the commission, Lord Robert Cecil will appear for Great Britain and Prof. Uhilloga will take the place of Pre- mier Orlando of Italy.'
 AS TO NEWSPAPER MEN
 Later in the conversation he said:
 Newspaper men need not impress on the masses that we will succeed in inn mediately eradicating the germ of war. This will have to be done gradually. My idea is that when disputes arise between two nations they would be re- ferred to an executive assembly to be foI med by the delegates from all nations which are members of the society of na- ticns This assembly would. after inves- tication, decide which of the nations was right and international forces would, if | created, be placed at the disposition of the country in the right. should such a step be necessary. In some cases the ey ecutive assembly might not act beyond giving a decision and would allow the disputants to settle matters between themselves by force, if 50 inclined" Prof. Larnaude alluded to the "oalm, perfectly natural and agreeable manner in which President Wilson has presided over the discussions of the commission. Had we at times been impatient he said. "I am sure the dignified attitude of the American President would have been sufficient to quiet us.
 l Referring to the probable capital of | the society of nations. he said that he preferred Versailles. but added that this was merely his personal choice, for the reason that Versailles is so close to the 1, 2, eat telegraphic, postal. railroad and diplomatic center of Paris

From Andernach, Germany, to
Little Rock, Ark, is long leap, but
that is the jump made by The Watch
on the Rhine, an eight-page weekly
newspaper that the men of the
Third u. S. Division edited, printed
and supplied regularly to 10000
readers during the six months
previous to the departure of the
division from Germany in August.
The publication, besides recording
matters of interest regarding the
troops still with the Third Division,
which is located near Little Rock at
Camp Pike, aims specially to keep
fresh the memories of the days with
the. A. f. f. and to echo the spirit of
all those who have at any time been
members of the division.
The new office of The Watch on

the first issue of the paper at it's new

"Chddbdnd" Found

One of the most interesting semi
literary hobbies is the search after
the origin of Dickens Names" 1t is
specially interesting, no doubt, be-
cause nobody can prove to demon
stration that his particular "solu-
ton" is the correct one, and, as a
consequence, the long list of po-
tcntial discoveries is seldom re-
duced, much less exhausted. One of
the latest Strikes is q possible
origin for the old favorite, Chad
band"
A recent writer tells how, a few
years ago, in one of the small
hamlets between Sutton and EPSON,
there stood small tailor's shop
bearing in large letters the name
"Chadband." And he goes on to
wonder whether Dickens, "going
down by road to Dorking noticed
the name, and kept it for future
use," for on that route he would
have passed the very door of the
shop.
The writer seems to think it high
ly likely; whilst, in proof that Dick
ems actually made the journey, was
1t not in the town of Dorking that
there stood the Marquis of CRANKY? ?
And was it not the hostess of the
Marquis of CRANKY who ultimately
became Mrs. Weller?-Christian

Ambergris a Perfume

Ambergris, which forms a basis
for nearly all the best quality per-
fumes and scents, is found in an un-
attractive looking mass floating on
the sea or lodged upon the shore. II
is not known how such an unlikely
substance suggested itself as a per-
fume, but it has been in use for
centuries. Its origin, however, has
only been discovered comparatively
recently.

and touch, it gives off a fragrant
musky' odor when warmed, even in
it's raw and unprepared state. In
this crude form it is subjected to
chemical action to extract the active
principle, called amberine, from
which the perfume is actually de-
rived.
This peculiar substance is also
used as a remedy for catarrh and

May Drop Mooney Case

[From the San Francisco Bulletin. ]
Indictments pending again S t
Thomas J. Mooney, Mrs. Rena
Mooney and Warren X. Billings in
connection with the Preparedness
Day bomb outrage will be stricken
from the calendar in Superior Judge
Wards court unless the cases are
ready for trial by the district at
torney's office December 1.
This startling declaration, which
fell like a bombshell in District At
torney Fickerts political camp, was
made the other day by Judge Ward
in reply to request for a further
continuance of the so-called bomb
cases"
The ultimatum of the court swept
aside the plea of Alexander O'Grady,
assistant district attorney, that the
indictments, which have been held
over the heads of the defendants for
the last two years, be continued for
60 days. Maxwell McNutt, appear
ing for the defendants, opposed the
motion on the ground that there was
nothing to indicate that the prose-
cution ever intended to try the cases.
McNutt ended his argument by in
voking the 60-day rule.
1T is my intention to hear all
cases pending in my department as
soon as possible" said Judge Ward.
"The cases of Mooney, his wife and
Billings are the same as any other
to me. There is no reason why they
should be kept on the calendar by
continuous postponements."
Judge Ward denied additional
postponement and instructed the
prosecution that the cases would be
dropped on December 1 if the dis
trct attorney did not bring them to
trial

Army Blanket Top Coat Now

If it is necessary to go back to
the Indian custom of blanket wear
ing to beat the tailor's bills the
American man is going to wear
blankets. In the East many are
wearing blankets now. Prevailing
colors in blankets are blue and
khaki, because those are the colors
Uncle Sam used in army blankets.
The style is a la overcoat.
One thrifty Brooklyn woman
started the idea when she paid Sc
for an army blanket and converted
it into an overcoat for her husband.
She had enough material left for
a jacket for her little girl.
Quartermaster officers say the
fame of the blanket overcoat is
spreading. They urge the tailors to
get into the new idea by advising the
purchase of these blankets for coats.
The blankets have wide stripes at
either end. but way has been de-
vised to work these stripes into the
pattern. Possibly the overcoat and
the stripe will set Fifth Avenue
fashion before the winter is over.

If healthy rivalry is to be accepted
as a token of virility, ambition and
progress, America is easily the most
virile, ambitious and progressive
country in the world. National
pride is indeed sometimes in danger
of being eclipsed by pride of state,
city or community. 1t is a very
fierce and jealous emotion which
brooks no question. Beyond doubt
it makes for efficiency.
The strongest and fiercest rivalry
is that between East and West. The
East, secure in her traditions, her
has but q tolerant forbearance for
the noisier, more hustling West, not
yet socially or intellectually out of
her swaddling clothes. The West,
on the other hand, has her own
strong contempt for the airs the
East gives herself
The Middle West stands out like a
clear cut cameo in my gallery of re-
membrance. In sense it interested
me perhaps more than any other
part of the country. 1t is individual
and apart in n quite strong, con-
scious way, not loud mouthed or as
sertive, but simply fully aware of it's
power and its destiny.
From various remarks and criti-
cisms heard in the East I seemed to
sense an uneasiness regarding the
growing prestige of the Middle
West. 1t is creating rapidly a
standard of life which is going to
matter, and which will ultimately
influence the whole life of the Ma
ton. One felt the pulse of material
power in the great, vivid, progress
i've cities and the steady growth of
a finer standard in quieter places,
even out to the foothills of the
Rockies.
