Holds the Record for Decorations

When Secretary Of War Weeks
pinned on his breast the distinguished
Service Medal, Maj. Edgar Erskine
Hume, q. S. A. Medical corps, became
the most decorated man in the United
States army. His collection Of war
medals now numbers %, and he has
earned them all by his bravery while
exposed to gun-fre and to the danger
Of contracting the deadly diseases
against which he worked.
For time during the World war
Major Hume was stationed on the
italian front. Later he was sent to
Siberia, where he organized the Ameri.
can sanitary service and combated the
dread typhus fever which was raging
there. As evidence Of the danger Of
his work and the value Of his services
as H. physician It was pointed out in
the War departments citation that 80
per cent Of Siberla's doctors had been
killed BY the fever.

Helped the Italian Women Get Suffrage

Premier Mussollni. having been
induced to abandon his opposition to
universal suffrage, Italy has granted
to women the right to vote and to
hold office, with certain restrictions
1t may we'll be that this result was
brought about largely by the holding
Of this years convention Of the Inter
national Woman Suffrage alliance in
Rome. Delegates from nearly every
country on the globe were present at
this gathering and they displayed an
earnestness and enthusiasm that could
not but have Its influence on the pre-
mler and leader Of the Fascist.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait Of the
United States (portrait herewith),
president Of the alliance, presided over
the sessions and was. as always. one
Of the most active participants in the
discussions. However, she refused to
stand for reelection as head of the

The British and Greeks there are turn
Ing against the French demand that
the Turks pay their bonds on gold
franc basis, which Is three times more
valuable than the paper franc. The
English call this unreasonable" but
the French reply that the pound ster-
ling Is nearly normal, so the English
bondholders will be paid almost on a
gold basis. France Is now willing to
leave this matter out Of the peace
treaty with Turkey and to settle 1t
later by negotiations. The Turks are
lnsistent that the bonds be paid at the
present rates Of exchange and their
delegates at Lausanne have been In
structed to quit the conference II the
allies do not yield.
In order to test Russla's willingness
to "come back into Europe" the allies
decided to invite the soviet govern
ment to sign the Turkish straits con-
ventIon when the treaty Is completed.
The representatives Of England and
Turkey settled the controversy over
the Mosul region by accepting the
boundaries Of British influence In
Mesopotamia as agreed upon by Lord
Curzon and Ismet Pasha. Any further
disputes concerning Mosul which may
remain unsettled nine months after
the signing of the treaty will be re-
ferred to this council Of the League Of
Nations, though the Turks preferred
that they should be submitted to the
Hague tribunal.

DRESIDENT HARDING has repeat.
1 edly dIsclalmed that his speeches
on his trip through the West and to
Alaska are designed as campaign mate
rial, but It Is probable that the glst Of
most Of them will be found In the next
Republican national platform. After
his address on American membership
In the world court, In which he sug.
gested dlvorcing the court from the
League Of Nations by making 1t prac-
tically self-perpetuatlng. he told the
farmers of Kansas what the national
government has done to rescue Amer
lean agriculture from the depression
that came with deflatlon In 1920. Incl
dentally he shocked some wheat and
operated a binder. In Kansas City he
insisted on compulsory consolidation
Of the railway systems as a solution
Of transportation problems. Sundays
address at Colorado Springs was in the
nature Of sermon, urging the Golden
Rule as n panacea for the Ills Of the
world. In Denver and Wyoming the
President made two most important
pronouncements. First he declared alb
solutely for enforcement OF the Vol
stead act, by each and every state as
well as by the federal government. He
denounced the action of the new null
lIfcationists" who have repealed or
tried to repeal the prohibition enforce
ment acts Of various states, referring
especially to New York and Governor
Smith. OF this he said:
Instead Of being an assertion of
state rights, It Is an abandonment Of
them; 1t Is an abdicatiOn it amounts
to confession by the state tina. It
doesn't choose to govern itself, but
prefers TO turn the task, or a consider
able part Of 1t, over to the federal
authority. There could be no more
complete negation Of state rights"
And this was his warning to the
"nulliflcationists" III the burden Of
enforcement shall continue to be In.
creasingly thrown upon the federal
government. 1t will be necessary. at
large expense to create a federal po-
lice authority which In time will In.
evitably come to be regarded as an
Intrusion upon and Interference with
the right Of local authority to manage
local concerns. The possibilities OF
disaster in such situation hardly
need to be suggested" He said fur.
ther that they "will discover that they
have perpetrated what Is likely ia
prove one Of the historic blunders in
political management"

Hates dead husband Dan Ward, was
father Of Alice's child, Dorothy. The
latter falls i'll and Kate offers aid,
