Soldier and Citizen CO-OPeration.
/ throughout the war there was
hearty cooperation between the peo-
pie of the United States and the Army.
Not only did the country back the
Army in carrying the war through to
n successful conclusion. but in every
community near which troops were
stationed public-spirited citizens made
the soldier welcome. opened their
homes to him, provided him with en-
tertainment and proved generally
their interest in his welfare and work.
According to War Department bull
letin. the authorities of that depart
ment desire earnestly that such spir-
tied intercourse, such friendly rela-
tionship between the private citizen
and the soldier citizen. between the
community and the camp, shall not be
allowed to lapse with the close of the
war. Soldier-civilian friendship and
co operation are built on too solid a
foundation of common patriotic affec-
tion and interest ever to lapse in any
real sense. But there is danger in
some quarters that the value of and
the need for such cooperation may
be slighted. There exist few COM
munities in the neighborhood of
Army stations whose citizens have
made little endeavor to maintain and
to continue the wartime friendship
for their uniformed neighbors.
soldiers are no. less social beings
than other citizens: their service is
no less valuable now than during the
period of the war. and it is a duty in
cumbent upon every community near
which they are stationed and upon
every officer in whose command they
are placed to encourage by every dig
nified means proper spirit of CO.
operation between the civilian and
the soldier.
I'm many towns and cities that end
has been accomplished to gratifying
degree. Rotary clubs, chambers of
commerce. city clubs and other civic
organizations are active everywhere
to bring together informally the SOL
dier and the civilian. These activities
indicate the seriousness OF co-opera-
tion and the necessity for it. They
make plain the fact that our nation
must be a union in friendly inter-
course of soldier and civilian"

Although there was no quorum

speaker of the evening, outlined in
an informal manner the purposes of
those seeking suffrage in the Dis

Mr.. Suter explained that what is
wanted and badly needed in the Dis
trict is representation in Congress
and a vote in the electoral college
In order to correct the many ills to
which the people Of the District are
subject. He said so many projects
altogether unfair to District resi-
dents have been put upon them with
out their consent that 1t fs high time
they had something to do with cleo
ton Of their own representatives.
He said if he had his way the
campaign for suffrage for the Dis
trict also would include a movement
for election Of municipal officers
Claiming that residents OF the Dis
trict have no standing in the fed
eral courts. Mr.. Suter said 1t is a
crying shame that 100000 people in
the heart of the nation should have
no voice in their own affairs, Will.

SEEKS FOE OF JAP BEETLE
Specialist Has Been Detailed te
Bring to This Country Enemy Of
Horticultural Pest.

The japanese beetle is going to have
Its old enemies on its trail In this
country. The United States depart
ment of agriculture has sent a man to
Japan to find those enemies and send
them across the ocean. They will
then be established in the sections Of
New Jersey where the beetle has
gained foothold, and they are ex-
pected to aid greatly In the control Of
the pest
The agent employed in Japan is
familiar with Japanese conditions and
is a specialist in this kind of work. 1t
is expected that the task will require
his sojourn in Japan for two or three
years. While something is known Of
the parasites of the Japanese beetle
a great deal is still to be learned only
under field conditions where the
beetle lives with all the enemies that
prey upon 1t. The beetle reached this
country with importations of green
house plants, and thus far apparently
has been comparatively free from mo-
lestations by natural enemies.

GOT MARK TWAIN STIRRED UP

of Remarkable Stories, Rose
to the Occasion.

A naval officer said at banquet in
New York:
"Some of the war stories that hear
remind me of Mark Twain. Mark. you
know. once sat In the smoking room
of steamer and listened for an hour
or two to some remarkable lies. Then
he drawled:
Boys. these feats of yours that
you've been telling about recall an nd
venture of my own in Hannibal. There
was a fire In Hannibal one night, and
old man Hankinson got caught in the
fourth story of the burning house. 1t
looked as If he was a goner. None
of the ladders was long enough to
reach him. The crowd stared at one
another with awed eyes. Nobody could
think of anything TO do. Then all of
a sudden, boys, an idea occurred to
me. "Fetch me rope!" yelled. Some
body fetched rope, and with great
presence of mind flung the end of 1t
up to the old man. "Tie her round
your waistp' I yelled. Old man Han
kinson did so and pulled him
