MURDER IS UNSOLVED
Military Board Still Investigating
Death of Richard R0ut0n.

The board of officers appointed al
Eighth Corps area headquarters to
investigate the death of Warrant OF.
ficer Richard Routon whose body
was found in a cave at Camp Bulls
had not completed its work Thursday
morning. Officers stated that it may
be several days before the board sub
mits its report.
Military police Wednesday went ia
the cave where Routon's body was
found but declined to give out any
statement regarding their investiga
tions.
Capt. +. V. Edgerton of the military
police said Thursday morning that
the case has been cleaned up" but
would not explain the meaning Of his
statement. Whether he meant that
the military police have completed
their investigations and are leaving
further investigations up to county
authorities. or whether definite con.
clusion has been reached, is not
known. The latter is not likely. in
view Of the fact that the military
board at Eighth Corps area headquar'
tiers is still at work on the case.

"WINE" WAS SPRING WATER
An Explanation Of the Split Between
Marshal WI and Gen.
eral Feng.

The Peking correspondent Of Kol-
nische Zeitung reports that everyone in
China talked of this summers civil
war as confidently as a Rhenish peas
ant talks of the next vintage.
He considers Gen. Feng Yu Hsiang
q coming man, and gives this curious
account Of his alleged break with Mar
shall WI Pei Flu, whom he supported
against Chang TsU Lin in last sum-
mer's civil war.
1t seems that Marshal WI Pei Flu
was having a great birthday celebra-
ton. His entire camp was en- fete.
Such observances are always important
in China, and in case of prominent
leaders are the occasion for political
demonstrations and the laying Of polit-
ical plans.
WI Pei Flu Is "lover of good
liquor" His Christian lieutenant, Gen.
Feng Yu Hsiang, is a total abstainer
and a prohibitionist. Indeed, his army
Of roundhead followers is as white rib
bon as himself. Among the gifts to
the marshal were naturally many cases
Of wine, and especially Of Chinese
spirits distilled from rice.
When these were opened at the mar
shars birthday banquet, 1t was discov-
cred that the offering from the Chris
tan general contained good spring
water. This caused some irritation,
and, added to other differences, has
made the two leaders enemies.

MeasIes Old a. the Race.

Measles is probably as old as the
race. In ancient times 1t was diagnosed
as a form of smallpox. Somewhere
about the Tenth or Eleventh centuries.
when Arab culture and science famed
high In a mentally dark world, Arab
physicians distinguished the difference
between the two diseases. These men
noted that having smallpox did not
give immunity to measles and having
measles did not give immunity to
smallpox. They studied both diseases
and pointed out the difference in the
eruptions. But measles continued to
be confounded with scarlet fever until
the latter half Of the Seventeenth Gen.
tury. when Sydenham, an English ply
sician, pointed out the difference in
the symptoms and the eruptions.

Character Is essentially what the

only a convenience). the chief ingre-
dent Of all literature not lyrical or
phikosophic. The characters that have

fed into art, would be worth all the

made novelists' fortunes and been our

dirty details Of suppressed lives and
more people Of blood, gristle and pas

self-sustained and convincing. which

Of psychologists terms? Can't we
have men, women and children whose
