WILL ATTEND MEETING 0f FOOD
 ADMINISTRATION
Goes to Washington In In. terest of Gas Distribu-
 tion.

Little Rock, Jan. 25th-In order that he might personally urge the na- tional food administration to take up the distribution of gas over the pipe lines of the Arkansas Natural Gas Company, and also the conditions under which the gas is handled at the producing fields, H. c. Couch, state fuel administrator, and president of the Pine Bluff Company, left Fri day for Washington, it was learned. Before Mir. Couch arrives in Wash. ington, it is expected that the national fuel administration will have received his letter enclosing the petition from the II gas using cities.
 The visit of MT. Couch to Wash ington, and the meeting of the gas using cities of Arkansas, is probably the result of the meeting of mayors held at Little Rock some time ago, growing out the several stoppages of gas which gas using cities have been subjected to this winter.
 Senate Bill Amended.
 F. Senator Emory went further in the matter, and introduced bill into the state senate which sought to penalize gas, water and electric light compan- ies to failing to furnish adequate supplies of the utility for which they accept franchise to furnish, The bill was passed by the Senate yestN- day morning and immediately trans mitted to the House.
 Much of the force of the bill was eliminated, Senator Emory IS deciar-

NO MORE MONARCHY
 IN GERMAN AUSTRIA

of the Associated Press. etaoi nshr
 Vienna, Dec. 1S.-Return to the monarchial system of government i'll German Austria is out of the ques- tion in the opinion of some of the government leaders here. One high official who is believed to represent tn viws of govrnmnt circles is quot ed as saying that the dynasty has lost nearly all it's popularity even in the most remote parts of the cOun- try. Besides, he said, the mass of the people certainly are not inclined to contribute to the cost of main tainins an expensive royal court after the enormous financial sacrifices en- tailued by calamitous war.
 Vienna is the heart of German Aus tria and all that relates to the com. merce and prosperity of this part of the old Austrian empire is of burn ing intrest, Government officials point cut that the German-Austrian industries arc in need of raw mater ials and machinery which only Ger. many can supply. The paper mills, ries. agricultural machinery and en- gineering works, especially the elec- tro-technical establishments have beer conductd on scale to fulfill the re- quiremants of a great empire. The manufacturers now see that their markets will be less extensive than
 under the empire. It is expected thu. the Czecho-Siavs will erect customs barriers tending to exclude from these separated countries German Aus trian goods. Besides, Austria will have to make formidable Czech com petition in Poland and expects to be excluded from competition in the Be- hemian market owing to the cheaper cost of living in Bohemia and the proximity of coal supplies there
 Apart from the magnesite ores in Styria, German Austria is poor ir ' natural resources, while her stocks Of raw material are said to be more depleted than those of any of tht former great nations of Europe.

 With robust health as basis, and with the knowledge that we possess more than the average strength and endurance, we must teach how to val ue the former and how to use the lat ter to the best advantage. By doing so we will unwittingly developed self reliance, which, after all, is physical quality, as it induces us to dare be- cause of the consciousness to do.
 Smartness, activity and precision are the physical expressions of men, tai activity All are essential quali- ties, as they make for self-respect, neatness and grace, which combined spell discipline.
 Precision and exactitude should, therefore, always be insisted upon in the performance of all exercises pre- scribed.

CLAIM MILITARY
 PRISONERS WERE
 BRUTALLY TREATED
Theo Lunde of Chicago Makes Statement to Com
 mittee.

Washington, aJn. 25.-Theodore H. Lunde, of Chicago, today has made to the House Military committee a statement in which he charged that twenty military and political prison CTS, most of them conscientious ob- jectors, had been "brutally treated" at Federal Penitentiaries and deten- tion barracks. He gave what he said were details in each case; declared that conscientious objectors had been subjected to particularly inhuman treatment and asked that an investi- gation be made.
 MT. Lunde asserted that the prison CTS had been "placed in solitary con- finement for weeks at time, forced to go without sufficient food and wa ter, strung up to the bars of their cells, beaten unmercifully by their guards and otherwise brutally treat ed," and that as a result "some of them are dead, others are dying by inches, while all are more or less in constant jeopardy of life and health" " Citing the case of his own son, Erling H. Lunde,- "a graduate of the Univer- sity of Chicago, MT. Lunde said the young men had resented "coercive measures and intolerable conditions at Ft. Riley, put in solitary, court mar. tialed at Camp Funston, sent to t't Leavenworth for life, commuted to 25 years in detention barracks conditions (which are so dangerous and intoler- able as to cause a yearning for soli' tary again." He said his son had beer declared a sincere conscientious ob. jector by Judge Mack's commission
