WALCOTT DESCRIBES
CANADIAN ROCKIES
Secured 100 Photographs of Live
Wild Animals on 7S-day Trip.

A seventy-eight-day camping trip
in the widest part of the Canadian
Rockies was described by DR.. Charles
d. Walcott. secretary of the Smith
sonian Institution at lecture given
in the auditorium of the New Museum
yesterday afternoon.
DR.. Walcott's trip through the
mountains of British Columbia and
Alberta was made for the purpose of
collecting geological, Photographic
and natural history specimens for the
museum Among the animal speci-
mems brought back was one OF the eN-
ceedingly rare mule deer with full
horns. a wolverine. a black bear and
number of wild goats and noun
tain sheep.
Even more difficult to obtain than
the natural specimens, the lecturer
declared. were the hundred or more
photographs of wild animals in their
native haunts taken on the trip.
About sixty of these pictures have
been converted into lantern slides and
were used by DR.. Walcott to illustrate
his talk.
Yesterdays lecture is the first OF a
free series to be given in the New
Museum auditorium on scientific sub
jects every Friday.

U. s. To HASTEN
BIC FORCE HOME
Pershing. Ordered to Ad-
wise Foch Most Of Troops
Will Return Rapidly. .

So that Gen. Foch may make his
plans accordingly, Gen. Pershing
has been ordered to advise him that
American troops will be taken out
of France as fast as possible.
The only Limitation on speed wilt
be the limit of available tonnage,
and "our international obligations"
These obligations will depend upon
deliberations, now proceeding in
Paris. as to how much of a force
America must maintain abroad.
Whatever the determinations are
in Paris, they will cut the Ameri-
can force to far below the thirty
division mark, which Gen. Pershing
set tentatively as the basic figure
for the overseas group.
These facts developed today from
Chief of Staff March's press confer
cnce.
Gen. March made it clear that the
War Department is doing its utmost
to hasten the homeward movement of
troops.
March has ordered the last half r
the combatant divisions in the Unit
ed States demobilized. making a total
of 1,177,Oc0 slated for discharge. In the
United States 7s,626 men and 81 ,593
officers have been dismissed. From
abroad 10000 men have returned.
March intends to keep a certain
amount of permanent personnel in
service, such as the regular infantry
nuclei of divisions. a heavy medical
personnel for reconstruction, demob-
ilization and embarkation personnel.

Plan to Use Returned Men
as Scoutmasters.

Boy Scouts OF America have asked
the War Department for aid in Sc
curing the services of returning Off
GERS and enlisted men as scoutmasters
for branches of the organization
throughout the country.
Officials of the organization call the
attention OF returned officers ana SOL

young boys of the nation. The War
Department has expressed itself
through Gen. Peyton c. March. Chief
of Staff as in full accord with the
purposes of the movement. and de-
Clares that instruction by men who
have seen service overseas will be an
inspiration to the boys.
1T is felt" the message to the Boy
Scout commanders states, that the
cooperation of a large number OF
officers and enlisted men who have
seen service in France will inspire the
boys with patriotism ard a spirit OF
devotion to their country as nothing
else can do"

SCENT FARE FIGHT
CALLED CAMOUFLAGE
War Board Hears Dispute with
Kansas City Railway.

Act II was staged yesterday
when attorneys for the Kansas City
Street Railway Company and law
yers representing the union appear
ed before the War Labor Board.
The union flatly charges that the
company has wilfully delayed grant
ing the raise in wages authorized
by the board by seeking to "camou-
flage" the issue by attempting to
put through an Scent fare when
secretly they know such a price
is impossible. but which issue in the
meantime keeps the scale Of wages
at the old price"
Reporters from Kansas City pa
pers were, put on the stand who tes-
titled that the president of the street
car company had said he wouldn't
waste a nickel to come on to WASH
ington 10 obey a summons from the
War Labor Board"
There are some curious contrasts
in argument for the street car COM
pany." commented Chairman raft.
I'm the first hearing they paid glow
ing explanation to our judgment.
Now their encomium OF US is SEEM
ingIy below par. We try to hold the
good will of all, but unfortunately
our hopes are not always realized.
This IS not a case OF whether any
one will waste a nickel to come
here. but it is an issue in equity
and counsel will proceed"

The Kaiser himself. Coudray thought,

American soldiers heard from the
peasants near the line. all art treas

A piece of German paper money

In a letter to young Coudray's $

commanding officer, says:
He is a type of soldier that has
made itself a credit to the country

of Argonne forest he came to me and
calmly reminded me OF some work

Honoring Roosevelt.

TelegraSis urging all State and coun-
ty Councils Of National Defense to do
everything possible to make success
full the nationwide memorial service
on February 9 for Theodore Roosevelt
were sent yesterday morning from the
Office Of Grosvenor B. Garrison, direc-
tor of the National Council.
Chairmen of the local branches OF
the council are instructed to COM
municate with their State governor.
kilograms have already been sent to
all governors from the committee in
charge OF the memorial services in
Congress, asking their cooperation
and suggesting that they officially rec
ommend the holding of memorial serv-
ices in their respective states.
The kilograms to the State and
county chairmen point out that the
action by the Council of National De-
fense is singularly appropriate owing
to the nonpartisan character of the
organization.
The reference to Roosevelt in the
telegram is as follows:
All Americans Honor Him.
He lived greatly for America, and
that is enough to justify even those
who opposed him in mourning his
death. With iron. courage he per-
formed a major operation on the pub
lie morals of his country at a time
when public ethics had become dulled.
and with daring and unfailing dignity
he measurably increased the prestige
of America abroad. OF no American
can it be more truthfully said that his
heart was incarnadined with the flag.
For these things alone all Americans
who have lived in his time should
hold themselves in his debt. and
should turn aside on the 9th day of
February to honor his passing from
the national stage.

CONSTANT ITCHING AL
MOST UNBEATABLE.

Only those afflicted with Ec-
zema, with its terrifying irritation
and ceaseless itching know what
constant torture this disease can
cause. The disease appears in diff
terent ways, sometimes with a red
dening and irritation of the skin,
sometimes in the form of blisters.
Other cases of Eczema take the
form Of a dry, scaly condition of
the skin that cracks and peeIs. But
no matter in what form the disease
appears. it is a source of constant
fiery irritation that is well-nigh un-
bearable.
Eczema is very often considered
a skin disease. This, is a natural
mistake, as it attacks the skin and
it IS through the skin that it causes
50 much discomfort and suffering.
But the real seat of the disease is
the blood. The germs of Eczema
are in the blood. and the irritated
and diseased condition of the skin
5 the result Of the germs trying to
break out Of the system. Beyond
he use of antiseptics to promote
cleanliness. there is no local treat
msnt that will accomplish a perma-
r mt cure of this disease. And
iFose who have been relying alto
ge,her upon salves. soaps. oint-
r1ents and other local applications
% the skin will find that no per-
nanent good will come from such
treatment by itself.
Read how Basil M. Lanneau,
.ho resides on Confederate ave-
rue, in Atlanta. Ca. found relief
rom this terrifying disease. after
lll local treatment had failed. He
writes
