the license had been procured in An

students and missionaries here to-
day; delegates to the quadrennial

Nearly every large American and
Canadian university and college was
represented. The missionaries came
from all parts of the globe.
The conference was not to be
guided by any set program, leaders
said, but would choose it's speakers
daily, from its audience.
Among the prominent workers in
the missioary field to be present

French Memorial Is
Tribute to America
And Fighting Sons

Washington, Dec. 29-Soldiers OF
the American army are credited by
the French government with being
largely instrumental in winning the
victory which came to the arms OF
right and justice on November H.
1918, when the armistice Germany
begged, was granted. This appears
in "a souvenir pamphlet dedicated to
the American soldiers who fought
overseas and which will soon be pre-.
sented through recruiting officers
throughout the United States, to
every American soldier who saw SER
vice with The American Expedition
ary Forces and who did not receive
one before leaving France.
The memorial voices the feeling of
France to America and Americas no
BILE sons, who were over there, not
omitting those who gave their all for
liberty In an eloquent introduction,
appears this high tribute to Ameri-
can soldiers:
"At the most critical moment of
the struggle which has lasted for
three years against German imperial
ism, you came as strong youths into
country where the young had per-
ished. To the weeping you brought
smile, to those who had been des-
poiled your generosity restored hope,
to the fatherless children you offer
cd joy. The summing up of these
recollections must remain an inspi-
ration to you and to those who fol-
low you, in all future efforts"
The memorial in fact, is a history
in tabloid form of Americas partic-
ipaltion in the war, beginning with
Cantigny where the gallant First Di-
vision made history, to the attack on
the heights of Sedan, just before the
armistice was granted.
The soldiers of the American Ex-
peditionary Forces who wooed and
won brides among the French people
will find most interesting that por-
tion of the memorial dealing with
the home life of France.
A supply of these memorials has
been shipped Ito Colonel John G. Tyn-
dali, f. A., recruiting officer at Okla
homa City, Okla, through the recruit
ing publicity bureau Of the army in
New York, which is acting as distrib-
uting agent for she French govern
ment. On receipt they will be is
sued by the recruiting officers to
every man entitled to receive it. Is
sues will be made thru local posts
of the American Legion, branch re-
cruiting offices and all postmasters.

Country People Are
Chief Consumers of
Pork and Poultry

Washington, Jan. 1.-That the far
mers are the chief pork and poultry
consumers, when a comparison Is
made on per capita basis, while the
city dwellers eat a greater proportion
Of beef, veal and mutton is shown by
the estimates of the per capita cuT,'
sumption of each kind of meat and
poultry by the urban and rural popu
lation, which have just been com
pleted by the bureau of crop esti'
mates, United States department OF
agriculture. This is the first ade
quate information concerning the
meat consumption of various sections
of the country and of the CITY anu
country population that has ever been
obtained.
he total meat consumption per
cap;ta is per cent greater iG the
country than in the city, and excess
in varying degrees is found in every
one of the customary geographic di'
visions. Beef consumption is nearly
two-thirds greater in the city than III
the country.
In both veal and mutton consump'
ton, per capita, the city exceeds the
country, veal by 119 per cent and
mutton by 43 per cent, and there is
a varying preponderance of the city
consumption in all sections, except
t,.r II ttoa consumption per capita
IRE. .er "a the country in the
west; that is, between the great
plains and the Pacific ocean. If beef,
veal, and mutton are combined, the
city exceeds the country in per cap
ita consumption by twc-thirds.
What the country loses in compari-
son with the city in the per capita
consumption of beef, veal, and NUT
ton is more than offset by what it
gains in the consumption of pork and
poultry. These are the meats, If
poultry may be called meat, that are
more especially adapted to the coun-
try than the others. The per capita
consumption of pork and poultry in tine
country is everywhere above that IN
the city and for the United States as
a whole the country is higher by
nearly two-thirds for pork and more
than one-h'alf for poultry.
Expressed in another way, the city
consumes more beef, veal and mutton
per capita than it does pork and poul-
try by per cent, but the country
consumes more pork and poultry per
capita than the other meats by $50
per cent; and in the city. pork and
poultry are As per cent of the total
meat consumption (including poultry
and in the country II per cent.

about some OF these fish are their eyes.
They are very small and rough and have
a sort OF fog over them. The question Is
how eyes can be of any use whatever in
such great depths where all is intense
darkness OF the blacklist sort. Yet tho
fish coming from there having eyes and
having the necessity to see, at least for
finding and attacking their victims to give
them food. makes us believe that there is
light there which is sensible to these spe-
cially constructed eyes-light. the rays Of
which we know nothing on earth.
II have tried to discover what this may
be by utilizing very sensitive plates and
exposing them at great depths. 1t has not
been very satisfactory, although l have

"For fishing in the deepest waters the
proverbiai patience Of the fisherman is
taxed to its utmost. For lowering a cage
to great depths we often take a full day.
All this time the boat must be manoeuvred
to keep 1t vertical over the line. We use
