Shoes of
 Doughboy Guards Do
 Damage of Thousands
By Associated Press

New York, February 25-Hobnailed shoes of 200 doughboy guards posted at the Hotel Crllon, where the Amer ican peace commission had it's head quarters in Paris caused virtually all of the damage for which the owners charged the commission $125. .S70.S2, the manager of the hotel, Henri Dequis said here today.
 It was this item of damages in the expenses of the delegation over which considerable protest was voiced re- gently in the House of Representa- tives and which among other ex- penses President Wilson was asked to itemize in a resolution adopted by the House.
 The 200 American soldiers who guarded the commission in Paris, damaged the Hotel Crillon to the ex- tent of about 1895 each" said M. De- quis, quickly adding that it was not the fault of themselves. but the shoes they wore.
 They were neither impolite or bois- terous, but they had to tramp in and out and all about the hotel all the time wearing hobnailed shoes over the polished floors and expensive rugs. It cost the hotel 650,000 francs to replace the carpets and 5.000,000 francs to put the hotel in order he declared
 NJ. Dequis thought that the boots of the French soldiers would have the same effect, and said he understood the British did even more damage to the Hotel Majestic.
 'It is very sad" he sighed, "but c'est la guerre.'

Improved Pocket Knife

A new knife, described and illustrated in Popular Mechanics Magazine, is made in various types. from the long, heavy hunting knife to the tiny watch chain knife. It may be best described as a device wherein the blade, when in use, is held rigidly in position. and when not in use is completely concealed When closed, the knife is dustproof and can be made waterproof if desired. An i'm portant improvement. from the angles of utility and manufacture, is the elimina- tion of the steel back-spring which constitutes a large part of the cost os the ordinary pocket knife. Also, blades are Interchangeable. By the simple method of unscrewing the pin holding the blade, another blade can be quickly substituted Thus a hunter can. in a moment. substitute skinning blade for the ordinary blade in his knife.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, December 19.-
Hanford MacNider, commander of the
American Legion, in a statement is
sued here concerning veteran COM
pensation legislation, said:
ut should not be forgotten that the
passage of the legion's adjusted COM
pensation bill will do more directly
for the men broken by the war than
anything that could be planned.
I'VE submit this plan: That those of
us who do not need, who do not feel
that we deserve this stepping stone
up to the economic level of those who
stayed at home; that those who want
to give our due to the cause of the
disabled, pool our allotments under
this act into a great rotating legion
fund. to be loaned through legion
service officers of each state depart
,nent at low rates without security.
that our buddies who are broken in
health may take care of themselves

LONDON, November 30.-Maj. Philip

has Just arrived in London. told the
newspaper men here that relief of the
famine in the Volga provinces was
almost beyond the capacity of chari-

Hope to Keep Children Alive.
"Our most sanguine hope is to be
able to keep 100000 children alive
through this winter. For thousands
there is absolutely no hope. and the
aggregate amount of suffering will be
something appalling.
Though we even have to feed chill
dren in the streets Of Moscow and
Petrograd, the greatest need is in the
villages, where the failure Of the
crops is most acutely felt. 1t is not
an exaggerated f1ction-would that it
