has been made here that complete
cures of leprosy are being made at
the Kalihi Territorial Hospital in this
city. and that within the last few
months twenty patients have been pa

NO COAL STRIKE LIKELY
IN STATE PREDICTION

Lexington, KY, Oct. 15-That the
Kentucky coal miners are not likely
to walk out even though the threaten
ed strike of bituminous coal miners
goes into effect November l, was tina
prediction made today by r. A. Hoard
secretary of the Hazard Coal Oper-'
ators Exchange, with principal Of
fices in Lexington.
This prediction is based on the fact
the majority of the Kentucky miners
are Americans and will not be influ--
enced by foreign agitators. Kentuc-
ky. however would be unable to sup
ply anything like the demand and in
case the strike is called, it is thought
prices of coal would more than treble.

TO YIELD SHANTUNG
ENDS CHRISTIANITY
Norris Says Purpose OF ia.
pan To Paganize All
Asia.

Washington, Oct. 13.-Another
three-hour attack on the Shantung
provision by Senator Norris, Repub-
lican, Neb., and a ten minutes speech
of the same character by Senator
Borah, Idaho, constituted the sum of
the Senate's progress today in its con-
sideration of the peace treaty.
Tomorrow the speech making will
continue and although some of the
leaders think a vote on the Shantung
amendment may be reached Wednes-
day, others are not so optimistic. Sen
ator Norris, who occupied most of
the two previous sessions with his
Shantung speech, concluded today
after again assailing the accuracy of
statements made by President Wilson
in his Western addresses and declar-
ing that after the President had &C
gone on misstating the facts about
Shantung.
Defeat Christianity.
Senator Borah also declared Mr..
Wilson had been mistaken in his
statement that John Hay was secre-
tary of state when the German
rights in Shantung were acquired.
Quoting from the reports of mis-
sionaries in regard to conditions in
Korea, Senator Norris declared the
purpose of the japanese government
to drive christianity out of Asia and
that the United States would be aid
ing in that attempt if it acquiesced in
the treaty proposal to extend Japan
ese rule over Sbantung.
81 can not see how Christian peo-
pie can read of conditions in Korea
he declared "and then ask us to ratify
this treaty and not protest against 4
nation that carries on such work.
1t brings us face TO face with the fact
that we can not afford to Turn over
Shantung to the hoathen country of
Japan.

fore / give official approval of an act

was placed on the retired list by the
authorities, with the usual pay un-
der such conditions. $4,000 per
month. The enforced retirement of
Capt. Bennett was sore disappoint-
ment to him, as he was exceedingly
anxious to be with his command while

PRESIDENT SHOWS
BUT-LITTLE Change
Passes Restful Night But
Still Bothered With
Headache

Washington, Oct. 15.-There was
no material change in President Will
sons condition today. The treatment
given him by DR.. H. A. Fowler, Wash
ington specialist, enabled him to
spend a restful night last night, and
he enjoyed his breakfast this morn
ing, but was somewhat troubled dur
ing the day with a slight headache.
The headache is understood to be
a recurrence of the attacks suffered
by the President while on his trans
continental trip. For ten days of the
Western tour he was bothered great
ly by severe headaches, but these
were taken to be only one element in
his general nervous exhausted con-
itiOn.
Has Good Night
Today's bulletin from the corps of
physicians at the White House had
this to say:
"The President had a good nights
rest, enjoyed his breakfast and aside
from a slight headache continues to
make Improvement. The condition
which caused the restlessness of Mon
day night, and about which DR.. Fow-
Ter was consulted, gave no trouble
during the night"

RUFFIN,
STITT.
Meantime the President passed a
calm day in accordance with the rest
and quiet prescription of his doctors,
and it is understood no outside mat
tiers were brought to his attention.
Many bouquets of flowers were sent
to the White House today not only by
personal friends of the President, but
outsiders as well.

Permanent Employment Ser
vice is Advocated.

Washington, d. C.-Represen-
tatives of the States, appointed
by Governors, after a three-day
conference with Department of
Labor officials at Washington,
voted unanimously in favor of
establishing a permanent public
employment system for the
United States. Principles of a
bill establishing the service were
agreed upon, and will be sub.
mitted to the next Congress.
The bill will provide for con-
tinuing the present Unired States
Employment Service, now existing
as a war emergency organization,
as a permanent bureau of the
Department of Labor, and for a
system of State employment
offices in close cooperation with
the Federal service
The delegates voted that Gen.
eral March be requested to give
farmers now in the military SER
vice preference in discharge
from the army in order to meet
any labor shortage in agricultu-
raj pursuits,
In an address before the con-
ference, Secretary of Labor Will
son answered the charge that
the Employment Service had
been discriminating in favor OF
union labor. He said that while
he was a labor union man him
self, there is no distinction In
law between the union and non.
union man, and the Department
has made no distinction between
them in the placement of work.

four days. On September 28 we
went aboard the great ship Livat-

our trip across the Atlantic.
After an uneventful trip across
the big pond we finally landed
at Brest, France, where remain
ed for a while. 1t was while
here that Renford Allen was sent
to the hospital, and we haven't
seen him since.
On leaving Brest we made the
trip to our next camp in side
door pullman cars, and it was
some fun too. These cars about
eight by twenty feet, with seats
along the side, and when thirty
men are crowded into one, there
is not any space vacant. We
managed to sleep very well and
had plenty of fun on the trip.
We have had some fun trying
to court the French girls, but
would enjoy more seeing some
near Gainesboro and Whitley
vile, and hope there will be girl
for us when we return.
We did not get to the front,
but guess if we had it would have
been S. o. L. for us. But still
it seems that if we had reached
there we would have got a Hun
