GREATEST LIVING AMERICAN
Georgian Who Served Under Wood in
Philippines Is Sure Of His
Nomination.

Leonard Wood is now, since the
death of Theodore Roosevelt, the
greatest living American, according to
Thomas Reed of Atlanta. Ca, who
served under Wood In Cuba and the
Philippines. Reed was In business In
the Philippine Islands while Wood was
In command there. Consequently he
had opportunity to observe the gen.
eral from the position Of soldier aud
a business man.
"Slnce the death Of the great Colonel
Roosevelt" Reed writes. 1T Is my
opinion that there Is no doubt what
ever of his nomination. and that
means his election. merely recIte all
this TO show that am In q position to
know the great character of General
Wood"

WOOD CALLS FOR THRIFT
Demands That Nations Expenses
Shall Be Put Back on
PreWar Basis.

Leonard Wood, who cancelled his
Eastern tour on account of the rail-
road strike, called attention in Bos-
ton to the tremendous expenditures
being incurred by the government and
asked that the nation get back to q
pre-war basis of economy and thrift.
"We have been spending money
during the war with both hands like
drunken Sailors" he said. 1.-THE time
has come TO cut out all unnecessary
expenditures and get down to bed.
rock conditions. We want to speak
of our congress again as million
dollar congress and not as billion
dollar congress. The burden of taxa
tlon is weighing heavily upon us, We
must spread the war burden over a
longer period of years. We must take
the strangle hold Of the excess profits
and other war taxes off the throat OF
American business and American
initiative"

WOODS CHANCES INCREASE,

Leonard Woods chances for the Re.
publican presidential nomination were
greatly increased last week as re-
suit Of his victory In Illinois. A mum.
Der oi prominent politicians In the

Governor Lowden In Illinois, and a
good showing .gainst Senator Hard.
ing IN Ohio. he would fall heir to the
delegation of IS from New York.
That delegation 'is going to ride d
winner' and If Wopd can show the
same strength against Harding as he
did against Lowden, he wifi be the
man 1t will support.

Bryan and Wilson

The promoter Of the telegram from
the Democratic meeting at Joplin TO
Bryan conGratulating him on his selec-
tion as delegate 10 the Democratic
convention at San francisco must have
been lacking in sense Of humor.
The convention declared for Wilson
and his leagus with its abject surrender
to Europe and its pledge to have
America jump into every cat'and dog
scrap that comes up in the old world.
BRYAN has said that it would be suicide
for the Democratic party 10 follow the
lead Of Wilson on the League, yet the
Missouri Democratic convention says
that We must take it as Wilson says.
We believe Bryan is right. We have
enough faith in the good sense and
patriotism Of the American people to
believe that Bryan has correctly judged
the issue. II Wilson in his sutocracy
demands the complete surrender Of
our national rights and sovereignty, then
there will be thousands oil patriotic
Democrats who will make common
cause with patriotic Republicans TO
down the autocrat who insists that he is
the sole arbiter Of America. He may
dismiss cabinet officers at will, but the
senate and the American people he
can not dismiss,
It is difficult for US TO understand
the type Of mind that can accept VIII
sons illusions as gospel and at the
same time congratulate Bryan, Mr..
Bryan does not have, 10 paraphrase Mr..
Wilson, "A mind that goes along the
more willingly with mine."

SULTAN URGING TURKS ID MARRY
 ID SAVE NATION

CONSTANTINOPLE. - The sul- tan, Mohammed VI, has issued an imperial decree proclaiming May 1 as marriage day" throughout Tur- key, in an effort to promote we'd dings and to arrest the decline in the birthrate. This action was talk en on the request of Hazim Bey. minister of the interior, who as- cribes the decreased number of births in Turkey to the frivolity of young women.
 ] In the sultan's decree, all en- gagged persons who have been un- able to marry earlier are urged to do so or May 1. As an inducement, no charges are to be made for mar .riages performed on that day, guests at weddings are to make no gifts. the first children of those who wed on May l are to receive the names of the children of the sultan and to receive the gift of bracelet from the governor of the province in which the child is born. The sultan'S son is named d'Er- toghroul and his daughters are Rou- kie and d'Ulvie.
 The edict is especially directed to the province of Broussa, in Ana tolia. which attracted much unfa- vorable comment in the Moham- medan press because of its greatly reduced birthrate and the tendency of its population to violate the Mos lem prohibition of the use of in toxicating beverages. Government officials allege that people of Ana tolian villages. men and women alike. indulge in what they call burning nights" of music and feaSting.
 Indulgence in modern dancing has aroused the protest of a member of the chamber of deputies from Anatolia, who has introduced bill authorizing officials to prevent wom- en from participating in the antics and capers of the ballroom"

COUNTY NOT RES
POND|NG TO RED
CROSS ROLL GALL

Previous reports of the fourth an
nual Red Cross roll call in Audain
County have been to the effect that it
was progressing very well. When an
actual count was made by the execu-
tive committee of the chapter, it was
found that only $219.5O Of the amount
had been turned in. This will not
be used for the maintenance of the
county Red Cross, but for the COM
munity room, after half has been
turned into the National Red Cross.
No reports hae come in from the
county, and the Executive Committee
issued statement Thursday that if
the people in thecounty did not res
pond more freely, the activities of the
Red Cross here will have to cease in
very short time. This means that
there will no longer be public health
nurse for the county or an executive
secretary to take care of the disabled
ex-service men and to do the social
work which is so much needed in the
various districts. Other counties are
continuing their Red Cross work,
which are not so wealthy as Audrain
County. The people in Audrain are
asked to consider this matter care
fully and renew their memberships.
Both Miss Corinne Markley, county
nurse, and Miss Burhl Hibbs, execu-
tive secretary, have accomplished
much good work in the county since
they have been here. Disabled sol
diers have been cared for, cid ladies
have been sent to homes, children and
families have been looked after, work
has been secured for those who need
ed it, educational work in child well
fare has been done in the schools, and
many other important things. The
county needs someone to do this work
but those who do it have to be paid
and the roll call is the only means Of
getting money to do this.
