The lilies of France are blooming
BY the little white crosses today,
Where Americas sons are sleeping
The years Of their manhood away.
They died on the altar of Freedom
For liberty, right and truth;
They sleep in glory immortal
In the beauty and splendor Of youth.
The soldiers Of France are marching
BY the fields where our loved ones lie
Each one lifts a hand, salutng.
As he silently passes by.
The children of France are singing.
While the bugles softly play,
And the lilies Of France droop lower
Ger the little white crosses today.
The women Of France are kneeling
By the graves they lovingly tend.
And the breezes murmur gently
AS the Stars with their Tricolor blend.
The women Of France are kneeling
Mid the graves SO far away.
And our hearts are kneeling with them
BY the little white crosses today.

In France, too; and on the dike-cut

Fear not that these boys of ours, who
are so far from us today, will be
neglected or forgotten. France. saved
from utter destrut tion, is still dumbly
grateful for the miracle, and genera
ton after generation will weep at the
graves Of the men who came from
afar-and stayed in France forever.
There, where they made their high sac

FOR HOME
Woman Says Husband and
Father-in-Law Conspire.
Try to Eject Her From House
at 1884 West street.

Asserting that her husband had in
vited her to commit suicide and that
he is now in conspiracy with his aged
father to eject her from her home,
Mrs. Lillian WARWICK 1874 West
street, today appealed to the district
court for protection. She asks for
separate maintenance in the sum OF
500 a month, together with the Gus
today of their two children, ROLAND,
IA. and Robert, u, and $25 month
for their support. She names as de-
PENDANTS in the suit her husband, Rob-
ert s. Warwick, jr., and his father,
Robert S. Warwick, ST..
This is the second time Mrs. War
nick has brought court action against
her husband. Her first petition was
filed May %, 1921, and dismissed by
her July %.
Would Prefer Death.
Mrs. Warwick said she had expressed
a desire to die rather than live with
Warwick under the circumstances. He
then invited her to go for an auto
rdie, she says, and when they arrived
at the west end of Gage park he pro-
duced a revolver and handed it to her
stating that "she had expressed de-
sire to die and now her time had
come" He urged her to shoot him
and then kill herself, she ASSERTS
Mrs Warwick says that in 1915 they
purchased the property at 1874 West
street and entered into "a contract
whereby the elder Warwick was to
live with them and that the property
was to be shared equally by Mr.. and
Mrs. Warwick at the time of his death
But either Warwick or his father, the
wife declares, later destroyed the con-
tract. She. asserts that about Feb
ruary they entered into a conspiracy
to defraud her of her share of the
property and served notice upon her
to quit the premises.
She alleges that for years her hus-
band has cursed and abused her and
failed to properly support her, so. that
she was compelled to keep roomers in
order to pay her household expenses.
Warwick recently went to Christs hos
pital, she declares, from whence many
of her roomers came, and told them
that they could not room at the War
nick home any longer.
Deprived of this income, she says
she started baking cakes and dough-
nuts to sell, but that her husband at
tackled her when he found 1t out and
would have injured her had not their
Oldest son interfered. She charges
that on one other occasion he flew into
a rage, jumped on her, crushed her,
threw her violently and-sprained her
neck to such an extent that she had
to call a physician. He has also
warned the grocer not TO send her any
more groceries, she AYERS.

sions at the parks during the summer

AID BRANCH lines
, Gasoline Propelled Motor Cars
May Take Place of Trains.
Chairman Reed Calls Confer
enee to Consider Cheaper Plan.

Plans for maintaining passenger
service on some of the branch lines
in Kansas, by substituting gasoline
propelled motor cars for steam trains
which the railroads claim are losing
money, may result from a series Of
conferences of railroad officials and
manufacturers of the cheaper equip
ment which have been called by clyde
NJ. Reed. chairman of the pubic
utilities commission.
Several branch lines have appHeu
to the commission to be allowed TO
suspend passenger train service be-
cause there isn't enough business to
maintain, it. Working. on the theory
that no one would think of running
a high priced limousine over milk
route, Reed believes that the branch
lines could put on motor cars and OPP
crate at a profit. AS an example Reed
calls intention to the Leavenworth &

steady profit since the installation of
a motor car on its line between Meri-

INSURE AGAINST AIRCRAFT

George Godfrey Moore OF Topeka
today shatched at the honor of being
the first Kansan to buy aircraft prop

Moore has insured his home, 1924
Topeka boulevard, against damage by
airplane, dirigible or balloon. If any
rart or occupant of an aircraft falls
upon his home and damages a shingle,
chimney or even goes on thru to the
basement and damages any portion
or valuable therein, Moore calls up
the insurance office and collects on
his policy. A

today "but there is a time coming

classed with fire, tornado, burglar and

LINCOLN HELPED THE U. P.
Union Pacific Magazine Tells of His
Association With That Road.

The Lincoln birthday number of the
Union Pacific magazine, the new pub
LEGATION of the Union Pacific System,
tells of Abrah ham Lincoln's association
with the railroad. on July 1, 1852,
he signed theeact authorizing its. con-
struction. The object of the road was
TO effect a Pacific Union, which name
reversed is the title of the railroad
President Lincoln fixed the eastern
terminus of the road at Council Bluffs.
Before his connection with the
Union Pacific. Lincoln was attorney
for the Illinois Central and Rock Is
lend Lines. IN the belief that he
would be opposed to government own
ership of railroads. the editor of the
Union Pacific magazine has>composed
a paraphrase of the Gettysburg ad-
dress entitled IF Lincoln Were Alive

-Four score and ten years ago our
fathers brought forth on this continent
a. new industry. conceived by private
invention and dedicated to the quasi

we are engaged in a great economic
war. testing whether that industry or
any industry so conceived and so dedi-
Gated can long endure. We have
reached a crisis in that war. We have
come to the point where we must de-
eide whether our great steel highways

at is altogether fitting and proper
that we Should discuss this. But in a
large sense, we should discuss it only
with full realization of it's economic

that private enterprise under public
