An American Heroine

The other day New York's highest
military honor. a distinguished serv-
ice medal. was pinned upon the breast
of Camilla Treadwell. Miss Tread
well wears decorations from every
one of the allied nations, having given
nine years of her life to service in
the hospitals of France and of other
countries of Europe.
Not only does this American heroine
wear the white and gold decoration
of the French legion of honor, but she
is an honorary corporal Of the 18th
Battalion of French Chasseurs.. and
has no, less than eight medals of
honor from that country. 1t was in
France that she spent most of her
seven years Of service abroad and
was a hospital nurse during many
of the most important engagements.
Frequently she was in the front-line
dressing stations, I'M territory which.
as a rule, was closed to women
BY her courage, fortitude and be-
nef1cent toll. Miss TreadwelI has
added another star to the bright
galaxy of American womanhood.-

Protests Rebuilding
of KnickerbOcker
To lie Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Within three weeks of the ami
yersary of the most terrible disaster
that has befallen this city, and one
of the worst of the country at large,
the collapsing OF the Knickerbocker
roof. and while the hearts of those
afflicted are torn with @rief and
anguish as the time approaches. an
article appears in your issue of jan
nary 6 announcing the rebuilding of
same at once. This plan still further
evidences to the general public the
calIous Indifference displayed to those
who have pleaded against the re-
building project A few weeks ago
a monument to the ninety seven chill
dren that were killed on our streets,
in a year. was unveiled with appro-
priate devotional exercises. A fine
thing. But what of the ninety-seven
lives lost in single night and in a
place in which they, at least, believed
themselves safe? !,
Shall their memorial be the, new
home of mirth and their devotional
exercises the noisy din of workmen
welding chisel. hammer and saw?
Why not make a picnic grounds of
Flanders field?

HERE and THERE in WASHINGTON
BY THE MAJOR"

broke in a little sob, thank YOU.
Ngood--
With sigh the secretary went
back to assist in tying up the beauti-
full gifts to be sent to brilliant sociat
leaders and ladies whose husband
were high in official circles. Her
heart was rather sore. She herseii
could give no presents, and she hal
missed the joy of planning and
scheming over the individual EiftS.
After the long illness with its attend
ant expenses which even nov
weighed her down. her slender sal
airy would permit of no such indui
gence, and her Christmas giving had
perforce been limited to the not very
large contribution poked into the
Salvation Army kettle on busy cor
ner.
Not even the luxury of the DAY

Her throat frightened a hit as she
pictured that gathering. The hiaz-
ing open fire, the delicious odor "t

had been hung for all the years she
could remember. For, men and wo-
locks and frost-touched temples, with
the coming of Christmas the wears
fell away, and as in childhood stock
ings were always hung.
1t was hard not to feel blue, espe-
cially as the kindly mother and
daughter. in whose apartment the
secretary had one small room aad
gone away for their family reunion
and there was not even CHEEKY
greeting to be received on her return
at night,
But the debts and doctors bills
must be paid, and, thank God, she
was we'll again. and even the meage"
salary she was receiving from tha
mistress of millions was at ledSt

laws was put before the committee in
a resolution by Representative Long
worth, republican. Ohio. and was
adopted by virtually unanimous
vote. Members agreed with the view
that in the short time remaining be-
fore adjournment. March 4. IT would
be unwise TO take UP the general run
OF pending revenue measures.
An excellent decision. Not only is
time lacking. but there is no necessity
for taking UP revenue measures at
this session. The laws on the books
are working as well as could be ex-
pected in the circumstances that exist:
and incidentally it may be mentioned
that late reports from the Treasury
Department compliment the Fordney
tariff on the record it is making. 1t is
producing a gratifying amount Of
revenue, and not hampering business.
Revenue measufes--some Of small,
some Of large moment-are certain to
be presented to the next Congress,
whether that body meets in special
session in the spring, or next winter
at the regularly appointed time. Taxa
ton we shall always have with us;
and however near together the two
old parties may have drawn on some
subjects, they are still far apart on
the subject of raising the wind for the
governments support.
Besides. next year is presidential
year, and, as usual every subject
carrying politics will be drafted for
service. And the tariff always has car
ried, is now carrying, and always will
carry, politics. The moon could as
easily be taken out OF the sky as the
tariff out of politics.

CARL RICHTER HAS
NARROW ESCAPE
Chief Gunner on Woodbury. Afloat
For Sixteen Hours on
Frail Raft

o. Richter writes the Courier-Re-
porter from Tacoma that his son
Carl who was chief gunner on the u.
S. destroyer Woodbury. spent 16 hours
floating on a frail raft in the open
sea, following the wreck of his ship
on the southern California coast.
The first direct news received by
Mr.. Richter was a wire from Admiral
Kitterlle stating that all officers and
men of the Woodbury. had been saved.
A letter received later from Carl told
of his experience. He was picked up
by fisherman's boat and carried to
a destroyer and was landed in San
Diego Thursday following the wreck
on Saturday. He was clothed in his
night clothes
Mr.. Richter writes that Mrs. Rich
ter is still very i'll from her recent
operation and has not yet been told
of the destroyer wreck.

GAS SURVEY
is ORDERED
Council Authorizes CONNER
cial Club To Engage
c.. r. Collins

The city council Tuesday night au-
thorized the Commercial Club to en-
gage C. R. Collins, of Seattle, to
make preliminary survey of Kenne-
wick to ascertain the cost of install
ing a natural gas distributing system.
At previous meeting the council
voted to make a thorough investiga-
tion of Eugene Enloe's offer to pipe
gas to Kennewick and Pasco from
the Rattlesnake wells, provided the
Commercial Club would pay the ex-
pense. Since that time both the coun-
ell and the club have made extensive
inquiries regarding competent engin-
eer. Answers to these inquiries indi-
cate that Mr.. Collins is practically
the only experienced gas engineer in
the Northwest and is highly recon-
mended by those who know him.
Mr.. Collins was here Sunday and
Monday and made a trip to the gas
fields. He was sent here to measure
IiC 1lOW VI IIlc WcilS dIiQ Iu6kc IcSIS
of the gas for an oil refining company
in which Frank Goodwin, of the Seat
tle-Inland Oil Co. is interested. The
company is looking for a location for a
large refinery in which crude oils
from the Montana fields are to be
reduced by new process.
While here Mr.. Collins stated that
30 days would be required to make
a detailed survey and prepare plans
for gas distribution system for Ken
newick and Pasco. The Commercial
club will request only a preliminary
survey at this time to ascertain the
probable cost of construction, the vol
ume of consumption and the cost of
distribution. When this data is avail
able it will be known whether it is
practical for the city to accept Mr..
Enloe's proposition.
Mr.. Collins will not be able to un-
dertake the work here before Septem-
ber Is.

bile. When near Touchet Mrs. Des-

many years but during recent months
had been stronger than usual.
After arriving at the hospital, Mr..
Desgranges notified his son Mckinley

and he arrived in Walla Wala be-
fore she passed away. He returned
this afternoon bringing the infor-
nation that while his sister is SER
iously i'll the tonsilitis attack is yield
ing to treatment and an immediate
operation Will probably not be neces-
sary.
Mrs. Desgranges body will be taken
to their former home in Rockford,
Washington, where funeral services
will be held Saturday afternoon at
2 o'clock. The Order Of Eastern Star
will be in charge.
Mr.. and Mrs. Desgranges have
