NickeIs in London.

A letter in the Times of London
points out the advantages England
should gain by substituting nickel coins
for bronze. To one who has merely
visited Switzerland, this proposition re-
quires little argument. In weight, bulk
and convenience nickel Is unquestion-
ably preferable. With what ease can
Swiss 2O-centime pieces to the value
of, say, 2 shillings, be carried, as
compared with 2 Shi1lings' worth Of
"COPPER"" And how this reform would
tighten the bus conductors burden
The combined weight of the 20-cen-
time, 10-centime and 5-centime Swiss
nickels is, writes the Times cor
respondent, only 1877 grains, against
the SIS grains, which 3h pence
weigh. Apropos of this subject, the
London chamber Of commerce has de-
cided to recommend that the govern
ment prepare for issue, when required
to supplement the silver currency.

But the following afternoon when

Clemantine. "Aren't they pretty p
"They are very beautiful" said
Zoe. "You have done wonderfully
we'll, girls. Your mother has been
very kind, Minnie"
In dim uncertain way, Zoe felt
that she was losing her hold upon
her daughter. This feeling was in
creased later in the evening when
Clemantine asked to go over to
Minnie's again as Minnie's mother
had offered to teach her to crochet.
Zoe remembered that the little girl
had begged to be shown at home
many times but had always been
refused. 1t had not occurred to her
that the child would seek the covet-
ed knowledge of others.
That evening after the children
were in bed Zoe thought over the
problems which confronted her. 1t
was plain that she must arouse her
self to the needs of her family if
she would keep them satisfied with
their home life. The time had come
when an immaculate house, altho
desirable, was of secondary consid-

sNHERC1FUL GOD. It's all true

whole truth! Nobody could'"
Thus Eleanor Franklin Egan in the
Saturday Evening Post, quotes How
ard Heinz of Pittsburgh, Herbert
Hoover's representative in the Near
East, on the real conditions in Arme-
MIA as he saw them with his own eyes,
Mr.. Heinz had been one of those
who had believed the stories of star
walton and death in Armenia had been
exaggerated. Not until he went him
self to the Caucasus did his views
change. Then he was shaken to the
foundation of his soul by what he saw.
Fearful Awful! Horrible Unbe-

ing of conditions in the Near East,
where Near East Relief, ! Madison
Avenue, New York, supported by con-
tributions from the American people
is conducting the only organized effort
to save the lives of these utterly desti
tute millions. Everything she saw and
heard justified the necessity for quick
and generous aid from America. Her
story of what she witnessed re-en-
forces the call of the Near East Re-
lief for aid for stricken Armenia.
"'The Hunger grin is everywhere

When America entered the war Mr..
Wallace was sent to Spain where
he filled the position of vice consul.
Last fall he returned to the United
States and took an examination for
a consularship. Passing a success
full examination he was named for
the post of consul at Jesusalem. 1t
was to this post he expected to go
as soon as he had recovered from
his operation. Because of his long
residence abroad and also because
of the nature of the work in which
he was engaged, Mr.. Wallace was

BRUCE WALLACE
DIED OF PNEUMONIA
Named for Post of Consul
at Jerusalem, Where He
Expected to Go

Bruce Wallace, member of one
of Cass county's oldest and most
prominent families and for many
years in the American consular ser
vice abroad, passed away Thursday
February 10Th about Z 80 p. M, at
the Atlantic hospital. An attack
of pneumonia following an opera
tion was the immediate cause of
death. He was SO years old and
unmarried. News of the death of
Mr.. Wallace was fearful shock to
his friends. 1t was not generally
known that his condition was des-
perate. Mr.. Wallace went to the
hospital February End, for an oper-
alton for hernia. He was making
satisfactory recovery when he was
taken with pneumonia. In his weak
ened condition he was unable to
successfully battle the disease.
Mr.. Wallace arrived in Atlantic
in the early part Of the winter for
q visit at the home of his brother,
Ross Wallace of the Atlantic post
Office. 1t was the first visit Bruce
Wallace had paid to his old home
IN many years. Upon completing
his visit here he was to go to Wash
ington for a conference with the
state department and then proceed
to Jerusalem to take up his new du-
ties as American vice consul.
Mr.. Wallace was born November
5, 1882. Reared in Atlantic and
educated in the schools of the city.
Bruce Wallace went as secretary to
his father, Thomas R. Wallace,
when the latter was appointed
American consul at Crefeld, Ger
many. That was nearly twenty
years ago. He later became vice
consul under his father at Crefeld
and on the Elder Wallace's appoint
ment to the consulship at Jerusalem
the son remained in Germany. AT

All through the spring and summer
months their MARBLE is heard.
Sometimes during the spring mi

been called the preacher as his
notes have been interpreted as
"You see it--you know lido you

he seems never to tire of asking these
questions. He never tires, singing
all day in the hottest weather. Rain
or shine, at all hours of the day, in
the forest or the village grove, from
May to August, his notes ring out
their cheerful strains.

numerous during the summer

WILSON FRAMES
NOTE ON TURKEY
Polk Expected to Forward
Message Soon.

WASHINGTON, March 17.-President
Wilson has stated his views on tho
Turkish question in a communication
to Under Secretary of State Polk.
1t is understood this communication
will be used as the basis of a communi-
cation which viii go forward to the
allies in reply to their message inform
ing this government of the tentative
agreement for the settlement Of the
Turkish problem.
It is probable the president is IN con-
lict with the proposed settlement. The
agreement provides that the sultan shall
remain in Constantainople although
Turkish military forces shall be with
drawn. The president has heretofore
been of the opinion that the sultan
should not be permitted to remain In
Europe.
Provisions for the recognition Of the
independence of Armenia met with the
approval Of the president. The pro-
posed settlement, however, draws no
boundary lines for Armenia and 1t is
likely the president will offer some sug-
Gestions along these lines
