Farewell to Horse
Will Be Said at
Kansas Convention

Independence, Kan, Oct. 15.-The
equine family is scheduled for vale
dictory appearance at the annual con.
vention of the Anti Horse Thief asso-
citation, which opens here today and
Gov. Henry j. Allen slated to lend
the oratorical effect to this final ova-
ton to "Old Dobbin," at least one
more inning is to be staged in specta-
cular fashion in form of horse
back parade. 1t is expected that
hundreds Of members will appear in
the mounted pageant. The governor
will speak, following the parade on
the 10th. The subject assigned him
is Farewell to the Horse
The meeting is Of two-fold nature
Both the four-state ASSOCIATION. in
GLIDING members in Missouri, Arkan-
sas, Oklahoma and Kansas, and the
Kansas state association will meet
and officials estimate that between
1000 and 5000 delegates will be pres
ent. Charles w. Frear of Joplin, is
president of the four-state associa-
ton and B. J. Taft of Parsons is
president Of the Kansas organization
Important matters are to come be-
fore the business sessions The four
state organization will devote efforts
to further perfecting the Interstate
working of the order, particularly in
it's mission of running down criminals
and preserving law and order in the
rural districts. While this feature
also will be pressed in the meetings
of the state association, officials say
plans for extending the membership
and neacting certain desired legisla-
ton also will be taken up.
Despite the passing of the horse
official announcement has been made
to the effect that no movement with
a view to changing the name of the
order will be maintained. It is pointed
out that there is traditional
strength and meaning in the historic
name, linked so closely with the de-
velopment of pioneer Kansas, that il
must be preserved; also that the orr
ginal constitution of the order speci.
fled that the purpose was to protect
all kinds of property.

there is an unusual noise when one
of the four cylinders explode that is
quite annoying.
Answer: Sometimes an exhaust
leak from one cylinder gives this eff
feet. 1t may be leak past faulty
gasket at this cylinders exhause pipe
connection, or one through the worn
out guide of it's exhaust valve stem
or at some other point. An exhaust
valve that leaks badly, may give rise
to noticeable noise due to the es-
cape through it of gas at high pres
sure, as soon as the charge has been
fired. If you put some kerosene into
each cylinder and run the engine, you
may find the exhaust leak by noticing
where smoke escapes. If any one
cylinder has poor compression, it
may be that it's exhaust valve is the
cause of the disturbance.

Answer: A light grease, contain
ing as little animal fat as possible.
Most of the large oil companies put
up ball and roller bearing COM
pound, escepcially intended for this
purpose. A grease somewhat of the
consistency of vaseline is about right
and indeed vaseline has been largely
used for the purpose. The chief re-
quirements Of such a lubricant are
that it shall flow readily enough to
prevent the parts from cutting per-
manent channels through it, that it
shall be sufficiently adhesive to cause
it to cling to the bearing surfaces.
that it shall. never become fluid
enough in hot weather to cause it's
rapid escape and that it shall not de-
velop acids that will attack the balls
and races. A very light cup grease
or fairly heavy transmission COM
pound, if of good quality, can be
used.

OFFICERS IN
GERMAN army DESIRE
TO serve UNCLE SAM
Many Applications Are Received
Through the Spanish En-
bassy at Berlin.

| Berlin, Oct. 1.-THE Spanish en-
bassy in Berlin, which is in charge Of
American affairs pending the ratifi-
cation Of the peace treaty, has re-
ceived so many applications from
regular German army officers who
want to serve in the American army
that it has posted big sign on the
outer door announcing that such ap-
plications will not be accepted and
that is useless to apply. The number
/ of applicants since has gradually de-
creased but still there are some.
Some of those seeking commits
sion in the American army urged
that they could be of value in "teach-
ing the Americans how to fight"
There has been a rush also of Ger
man officers to join other former
enemy or neutral armies. The ap-
1plicants were ready to serve in eth
er the American, British, Japanese,
Argentine or even the French for
ices.
Every correspondent in Germany,
regardless Of his nationality, has been
bombarded with queries and person
Ial applications. In vain did they as
sure the officers that their armies
would under no circumstances accept
German officers. In vain the ex-
PLANTATION was made that all the en-
tente armies were overburdened with
officers and were making every eff
fort to demobilize them. Argentina
has become more or less the mecca of
the would-be emigrants from Ger
many because it has advertised thru
it's consulate for agricultural laborers
and has offered inducement in the
way of free land. However, those
who want most to leave Germany
want leave to go to farming. For
those who really want to take up
agriculture the Argentine invitation
is still attractive.
Others determined to reach the
United States by a round about route
see in Argentina an opportunity to
realize their ambition by first going
to Argentine and then taking a
chance Of going on to the United
States.
Those who contemplate this ruse
overlook the possibility of trouble
both in Argentine and the first
American port they reach. A young
German woman sat in a Berlin hotel
lobby last night telling her COM
panion in voice loud enough for
by-standers to hear that she intend
ed to get to America through the
Argentine if necessary by swearing
that she had been in the United
States before. She admitted that
this was untrue, but added that "a
little white lie could do no HARM"
Many German writers on immi-
grafton urge that Germany can ill
spare single man, the taxes he
paws or the labor he does. They also
point out that hotel keepers of Bel
GUM and Italy have resolved not to
employ Germans for 10 years and
that 5 years must elapse before the
German may live in China or Singa-
port They declare that the Ameri-
car workmen will oppose German i'm
migration to the utmost because of
the possible effect of wages and say
similar inimical spirit exists in
Australian and other British do
minions.

Greek Poet and
Journalist Dead

Athens, Oct. 18.-George Souris
the Greek poet and editor of the
journal Ron1ios, died yesterday. He
was accorded a state funedal today
Souris' death is regarded as a loss
not only to the literary world, but to
Greece as whole. In his writing
which were always in verse of pop
ular character he dealt with polite
al subjects in vein Of bitter sar-
casm. He rendered immense serv-
ices to the Venezelist cause and to
allied interests. Souris refused all
honors during his. life time, but since
his death has been awarded the cross
of commander of the order Of the
Saviour.

that it also goes down into the cylin-
ders and into the oil? How can I
tell?
Answer: You can let out some of
the engine oil, by removing the draw
off plug in the oil pan and see if
there is water in it. The water, if
any is present there, will be at the
bottom of the pan, it will escape first
and will be readily recognized. If
water were escaping into a cylinder,
you would probably hear gas bubbling
from the cylinder into the radiator,
the engine would not start running
on all cylinders for some time and
there would be great deal of moist
ure and later steam escaping with the
exhaust. If you have not already
done so, you should have the head
bolts frightened and, if this does not
stop the external leak, you may have
to install a new gasket. Of course,
the outward leak does no great harm,
so long as you make sure that the
water in the system does not become
low.

AlbanianS Fear
Greek Occupation

Naples, Sept. 15.-Thousands Of
Albanians are fleeing from their
homes in fear of the occupation OF
their land by the Greeks, according
to the statements of refugees who
have reached this city by way OF
Brindisi, on their way to the Unit
ed States. The territory where the
exodus is described as taking place
is mainly that of southeastern Al
bania, near Kortcha, where the
American missionary, Phineas 3
Kennedy resides, or Koritza, which
is at present under French military
control. The movement, however,
is said to be extending from the
Greek border as far as Elbassan.
Some weeks ago it was rumored that
the Greeks were to take possession
OF the country, and the resultant ter
ror of the Albanians is ascrlbed by
the refugees to their vivid memory
OF Greek cruelties during the Bal
kan wars. -

Americans Send
Many Thousands to
Italian Relatives

Naples, Sept. 10.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. items of thousands of
checks amounting to millions of dol
lars each months are being sent to
relatives here by the Italo- Ameri-
cans who served in the American
army. Therefore the money receiv-
ed from American soldiers allot-
ments, war risk insurance benefits,
and United States government COM
pensation constitutes one of the chief
sources of income for southern Italy
lat the present time, OF the thou
sands of ltalo-Americans in the
American army, the great ajority
were from southern Italy, which has
furnished the bulk of Italian emf
grants to the United States.
Al the present rate of exchange of
almost 10 lire to the dollar, these
checks yield profitable revenue to
Italy. 1t is a widely known fact that
that thousands of families in south
ern Italy today are being largely
supported by such contributions from
the treasury of the United States.

field and saved the air machine from
wrecking itself against the side OF
a hangar.
Private Neumeyer was cleaning his
motorcycle near one of the field han
gars when a Curtiss Liberty-motored
plane espied skipping asross the
field with no one in it. At mile-a-
minute spsed the derelict plane was
headed straight for a company OF
soldiers who were out drilling on the
field with their backs toward it. The
noise of an approaching aircraft
would never have attracted their at
tention inasmuch as dozens of air
planes were soaring about at various
elevations overhead.
Entirely unmindful OF risking his
own skin. the motorcycle soldier
jumped on his machine and sped af-
ter the runaway aircraft. He tore
over the field at sixty miles an hour
until he caught up with the plane
as it bounded over the field in grass
cutting leaps. At last he succeeded
in dropping behind the plane and
sprang from the saddle into the
fuselage of the air machine. In an
other instant he had shut off the
powerful Liberty motor. applied the
brakes, and brought the airplane to
a stop within fifty feet of the backs
of the company of soldiers. who con-
tinued to drill without knowing OF
their danger until informed of the
incident some hours later.
Back near the edge of the field
from which the derelict plane start
ed its mad dash was found the body
of Cadet Flyer Walter Franzen with
the top of his skull torn off. To all
appearances he had landed on the
field with his motor stopped. After
landing he had evidently gone in
front of the aeroplane, started the
motor, and was killed by being
struck by the propeller. The ma
chine then started across the field at
full speed unpiloted.
