RETURN OF BODIES
 FROM FOREIGN FIELDS

Washington, January 15-(Special. l. Peter C.. Harris, adjutant general, in the following letter to Senator Harris of Geor. gIa, gives information of interest to thousands throughout the United States relative to the plans and hopes of the government to return to the United States bodies of all American soldiers inferred in France:
 Authority has been obtained to re- turn to the United States the remains of all soldiers of the expeditionary force buried in Great Britain and other Flu rcpean countries except France With ref erence to that country, the minister of the interior advises that the council of
 ministers has authorized the immediate
 removal and shipment of bodies of Amer lcan soldiers in France outside of the
 old zone of the armies, but pending the
 grouping and identifica tion of bodies of
 French dead the French government has forbidden the removal of. the bodies of French soldiers from the old zone of the armies and consequently it is obliged to delay the authorization for the exhuma- tion and removal of American dead from the old zone of the armies, so long as such privilege cannot be extended to fam flies of French dead.
 The ministerial decree referred to above specifiec that this prohibition will eStend over period of three years. How ever this department, through our state department, has urged the removal of this prohibition, or at least it's material modification. Information has been re- celved that encourages us to hope that the French Parliament may modify the ministerial decree to permit removal or nodies of American dead at an earf1er date.
 Almost immediately after the armis- tice was signed the work of removing the bodies from hastily made graves on the battlefields to carefully prepared cem- eteries was begun and is still under way The department Is actively engaged in making preparations for the return to the United States of the remains of American soldiers as rapidly as possible. Parties are now at work in England and or the continent preparing the bodies for shipment. Additional personnel is being sent over as rapidly as it can be collected an dequipped. The bodies of oyer 100 American dead have already been re- moved from Russia. The department hopes to have shipment from England within the next 90 days with others fol-

MARTENS CASE MAY BECOME FAMOUS

Washington, January 15.-(Special. 1.-The investigation by subcommittee of the foreign relations committe of the Sem
 ate into the activity in the United States 1 of Ludwig c. A. K Martens. self-styTed ambassador from the soviet government | Of Russia, *may develop into a cause celebre.
 In the beginning it was anticipated That the investigation would reveal simply
 that Martens has no business in She
 United States, and that the United States,
 having failed to recognize the soviet
 government, had no desire longer to har-
 Tor the Ambassador" But Martens has displayed keen spirit, if not desire for fight. And his desire is sustained by what appears to be an abundance of funds.
 He has employed learned and astute co,fn- sel headed by ex-Senator Thomas w. Hardwick of Georgia, who while a mem- Der of the Senate was conspicuous in hfs opposition to war measures, and whom the people of Georgia recently defeated on urgent request of President Wilson.
 That most intricate problems of state Will be injected into the investigation ap- pears certain. This fact was revealed when Senator Moses. chairman of the subcommittee Investigating asked the Senate for permission to employ legal counsel. He plainly stated that no mem- Der of his subcommittee, without sac rificing all his time. could give the case the attention it deserved, and he gave an idea of the seriousness of the situation by referring to the lawyers the Russian had employed. Senator Hitchcock, in ob- jecting to the immediate consideration of the resolution, declared the Attorney Gen eral should designate some member oe his staff to aid in the prosecution. Then it was that Senator Pomerene of Ohio gave an accurate indication of the com piicated nature of the affair:
 T can see. said he, why the depart ment of justice might be embarrassed to take part in an investigation which might go further than the department Of its own accord, and on it's own initiative would go. I am aware of the tremen- dousness of the questions which will come before the Investigating subcommittee"
 He advocated the employment of coun- sel.

Among the, distinguished speakers al the state conference of the near east relief, which convened here Thursday was Mrs. Florence Spencer Duryea, sec retary of the women's organizations and one of the most attractive and cul- tured of the prominent visitors to Bir- mingham
 Mrs. Duryea bears most enviable reputation for her work in various pub lie spirited and splendid enterprises and she is one of the most convincing speakers and magnetic personalities in the personnel of the near east relief work.
 Previous to taking up near east relief work, she was affiliated with the Fed eratfon of Professional and Business Womens Clubs and acted as field or ganizer for them. She travelled more than 10000 miles and lectured before the women's clubs of most of the large cities of the United States.
 Mrs. Duryea began her career as sec retary to the Rev. S. Parks Cadman, later entering the advertising field and becoming New York advertising man. ager for the Ipswich Mills. the oldest

 and largest hosiery mills in the coun- try.
 At the present time she is chairman of the diner committee of the New York League of Advertising Women. one of the directors of the Salesmanship club of New York. and a member of the Gamut and Buyers clubs.
 WELL EQUIPPED FOR WORK
 From this 1t is plainly seen that Mrs. Duryea is well equipped to carry on the splendid work she is engaged in, and outlining why the near east relief. which was formerly the American com mittee for Armenian and Syrian relief, Is continued and undiminished relief in the near east is imperative, Mrs. Duryea said yesterday:
 The war is not over in the near east. Peace is not signed with Tur- key and conditions today are much the same as before the armistice. except that in some regards they are worse.
 Another year has added to the de- pletion of the resources of the refu- gees.' she continued, "and repatriation of the Armenians is as yet impossible.

Between these Palmer and McAdoo- the most cordial relationship exists, and neither the one nor the other would knowingly attempt to estrange the sup porters of his friend. Champ Clark might be added to the three, but the conviction grows that the former speaker will rfot be a candidate. W. J.

HOW TO USE CALORIE TABLES

Other things than body fuel are
necessary III human food Not all of
the necessary fuel may safely be taken
from potatoes nor yet all of it from
becfSteak. Scientific Investigations
have shown that of the 100 100-calorie
portions necessary for the family of
five, about "a should come from vege-
tables and fruits, SO from milk, eggs
and meat, 80 from cereals and legumeS,
10 from sugar and sugary foods, and
IS from fats and fatty foods. If these
amounts are used as a guide in plan
ming the meals of n healthy family,
there Is little need to worry about
their getting the right kinds of guam
titles of foods,
Now a 1O0-calorie portion of some
meats cost a. good deal more than a
1OO-calorie portion Of other meats.
This is the case too with vegetables,
and fruits, cereals, fats, and sweets.
The cheapest food per pound is not al
ways the cheapest food per 100-calorie
portions. In this day of high prices,
the housewife is interested in know
ing what foods that will adequately
feed the family can be bought cheapest
figured on sustenance basis rather
than on a pound or pint basis. And
that is what the tables prepared by the
Department of Agriculture do for her.
BY using the tables, she can de-
termlne the price of 1O0-caiorie por-
ton Of a particular food. All she has
to do Is to insert the price per pound
or bushel at the proper place in the
third column and divide 1t by the cor
responding figure in the second
column.
Here's An Example.
To illustrate: Suppose the meat
market man tells her that sirloin steak
sis 80 cents pound. She writes ago.
opposite sirloin steak in the third
column. Then she looks In the second
column and finds, opposite sirlOn
steak, 40 per pound" She divides 80
by 10. The quotient is s. Five cents,
therefore, is the price Of a 100-calorie
portion of slrloin steak. In exactly
the same way, she can find the cost
per 1O0-calorie portion of any food.
And what is more, if she gets in the
habit of thinking in 100-calorie pOr-
lions as we'll as in pounds and bushels
she will very soon know how much
such a portion of steak or apples or
macaroni represents and then she will
be able to estimate easily whether or
not she is getting what her family
needs ara az she best prices.
