K. OF 6. LOOKING FOR OWNERS OF
 LOST BAGGAGE
Have Luggage of All Descrip- tions With ''Beaucoup" Highly PriZed Souvenirs.

A general invitation was extended yesterday by the Knights of Colum- ous to all former service men and officers of the A. E. F. to claim any barrack bags, trunks, bedding rolls, suit eases and other nondescript pieces which they may have lost during the great homecoming of the 100000 Tanks from France. Uncle sam is at present the custodian of something like half a million pieces of unclaimed personal baggage con laining "beaucoup" souvenirs, heI- n1ets, German Army sabres, cartridge belts, shells. love letters, pictures of ,he home folks and France and thou sands of other mysterious gifts and souvenirs.
 What the gOVernn ent is now trying to accomplish Is the safe delivery to each and every man his 'lost' bag gage which, in very many cases, con- tains some prized souvenir of the war. Most of the bagge has been carefully sorted out under the direction of Col. R. R. Pickering and a staff of army men. The Knights are cooperating with Col. Pickering and hope to land some several hundred thousand pieces of luggage to their proper owners within the next month. There
 
 the Hoboken piers of the government and elsewhere.
 In order to get the "lost' barrack bag or trunk, the owners must comply with the following directions: Send all the markings and writing on the baggage, the name of the Regiment to which attached, and the last place where baggage was seen either in this country or France. Enclose the blue stub detached from the declar- alton papers and write to the Knights of Columbus, Lost Baggage Depart ment. No. 461 Fourth Avenue, New York City"
 The Knights announce that if every soldier and officer complies with the above directions, from somewhere in the great mass of baggage, the ''lost' piece will be forwarded promptly no matter where the owner may reside.

ers called attention to the fact that
this candidate for county Judge had
himself introduced the enforcement
Of prohibition into his platform.
They stated, furthermore, that he
had not based his candidacy on fit-
ness for office or on q platform Of

had merely announced his intention
to enter the primaries on q "wet''

unusual meeting last Wednesday,
when Comtesse d'Ursel, Lady-in-

talked on her struggles with home
restoration and social civics during
the war. A transition overnight
from life in a palace to one in

museums, art treasures, books and
celebrities, to a twenty-hour day
struggle to feed and clothe and
house and nurse the needy, with no

the Comtcssc said would have been
much more effective and much less
strenuous had some Of her life been
spent In Il HON" efficiency school
instead Of palace!

1.-THE new mother Is the old
mother grown up" explained Mrs.
Iaidlaw last week. During Colo
NAL days the mother kept house for
hsr family, swept the floor and
pun the fax, fashioned the clothes
and baked the weekly supply Of
bread. Her interest in life was CEN
tered chiefly and solely in her home
and her family. For generations
the. Colonial type mother lived her
complacent life. With woman's en-
trance into the business world she
learned that events of national i'm
urtance were pertinent to her, 80
she became interested, in time, in
the politics Of her country. En-
ianchisement gave her a voice in
her own government and then alone
cane the war, in which she played
W important a part as her husband
and her son.
To Mother

"All kinds Of women, no matter
what their differences may have
been, worked together for a COM
mon cause. They eliminated all
thought of themselves; they were,

Internationally, for, like the women
Of the other countries at war, they
we're working for one purpose. With
what result?-a new mother, with
greater and more humanely ma

"She could no longer mother only
her family and her country; she
learned that the whole world needed
nothering, TINT her work could not
Be confined within domestic OK ma

1T Is no longer possible for any
one-nan or woman-to think in
terms Of nat;onalsm alone to-day"
added Mrs Laidlaw earnestly. "a
mother can no longer think of her
children a. being the only children
In the world that matter Other

count just as much. The note of
