THE WET BAY STATE

Al time when the national W. C. T. |. was meeting in Bost on delegates had an opportunity to be come acquainted with the final off, cjal figures in connection with the victory of the vets in Massa chusctts which d writer for th" Boston Herald charactcrizcs as the most smashing victory to be recorded by the vets in amendment was added to the Consti- tution."
 Tn" voting WAS oli q referendum. when the voters went on record as favoting 'h" repeal of the 18th amendment. The referendum carried in A out Of 3f districts-thcre hav- ing been no voting on tn" referen- duln in the four remaining senatorial districts. The popular vote was 6@7.735 taroring repeal of the pro- hihition amendment and 414,512 against r'p"al-a margin Of -S3.223 wei votes in the 36 districts.
 This vote was surprising for two reasons: Tn" r"fcrendum was for an outright appeal of the 18th amend Uont. which some observers previous | 10 the election had claimed would not meet with the approval Of many who favored mere modification , rather than repeal: and ii r.sulted during an election when the largest number Of women voters who eyer | took part in an election had voice in deciding the referendum. The in- pr"sSlon had been current that q big woman vote would mean q certain dry vote. The referendum showed that tn" contrary WAS trtr. in th Bay stat".
 There can he no qu, .tiou that Mabel Walker Willcbrandt's warm campaign had no influence ill Massa- chpsetts.

ADAM FIT CN!

By Raymond NOENack
 The pale moon hung low over the Garden of Eden, and the leaves of autumn, red color of maiden cheeks, carpeted the land.
 It was night Of romance! A night which. in our time, brings fluttering hearts and cooing doves. which in that time brought TO- nance into Elen.
 Eva. the moon is beautiful to- night, and my heart is sa:ing strange things to me-"
 And what. mine own. does the moon and the heart say unto you:'
 Adam caught Eva. embraced Ter with strange and uncouth reckless ness. "This is what the moon and my heart are saying" kissing the fair Eva full upon her maiden lips. Eva gasped for breath. "Oh Adam. where did you learn that?' T am the originator. Not bad idea. is it ?'
 "Well. if you must know the truth your kissing is rather amateurish.' | What's that. woman? And 'yha do you know about kissing"
 Not much. out I am willing ts learn." responded Eva. evasively.
 And so it came about that Adam and Eva left the Garden Of Eden went to the big city and signed [ Big Time Contract.

FRENCH TOWN DEEDS
GRAVES FOR u. S. DEAD
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Through the gift of the French village
of Moyenmoutier of the ground occu-
pied by the grave of Lieut.. Thomas r.
Plummer of New Bedford, Mass, con-
troversy of 10 years comes to an end.
Unlike most American families whose
sons fell in France the Plummers
strongly desired that Lieut.. Plummer S
body be left in the little French ceme-
terry where it was buried two days be-
fore the Armistice was signed and a few
days before the Croix de Guerre award
ed him by the French government was
received.
This caused the unwinding OF much
red tape. Lieut.. Plummer, althought
SO years of age when the war broke out,
enlisted in the American Red Cross and
was assigned to the French village OF
Moyenmoutier Just behind the French
lines. There he did such valiant work
that he was beloved by the entire pop
ulation of the village. They buried him
with highest honors in their own VII
lage cemetery. His death was the result
of unselfish devotion to sick. and wound
ed French soldiers.
When the work of removing American
soldiers bodies to government cemeter-
les in this country and France began
Lieut.. Plummer's grave was one OF the
few isolated ones marked do not dis

The Government could not leave
soldiers bodies without definite title to
the land or without assurance that
graves would be properly cared for.
however. After much interchange Of
correspondence between the town coun-
Gil of Moyenmoutier, the cemetery di-
vision of the Quartermaster Corps OF
the United States Army and the family
of Lieut.. Plummer, the problem was
solved with receipt of the title to the
ground occupied ht the grave. ..4----.

STUDENT BATTLERS
ASSAILED BY COURT
Pair Accused of Intoxication Are
Referred to Probation officer
for Report.

Apparently oblivious of bandages in
which their heads we're swathed, Will
liam S. Jackson, %, and Frank McKain,
25, college students, accused of intox-
ication, today endeavored to convince
Judge Gus A. Schuldt they merely had
INDUCED in friendly tussle."
Speculation as to what might have
been the result had the pair been really
mad led the court to question the de-
PENDANTS and disclosed that their
friendly tussle" had so disturbed oc-
cupants of the apartment in the 100
block of Seventh street, where the stu
dents live, that police were summoned
Policeman L. StarkWeather, who re-
sponded, took the men to Emergency
Hospital for treatment prior to locking
them up at the third precinct. He said
the men began fighting after departure
of several guests who attended a party
at the apartment.
When the students told of their plans
to study for the foreign service, Judge
Schuldt expressed doubt as to whether
they would be fitting representatives of
America in foreign country. Moved
by the holiday spirit and by the pre-
vious good record Of the defendants,
however, the court ordered the case re-
ferred to the probation office for report.

VETERANS DECRY
SHORTAGE OF BEDS
Inquiry Is Launched Into Sit
uation Caused by Nation
wide Influenza Epidemic.

Acting on recommendations of the
Presidents Own Garrison, No. 1O4, of
the Army and Navy Union, Mai. w. L.
Peak, national commander of the or
ganization, has launched an inquiry
into reports that the influenza epidemic
may cause IAN acute situation" among
veterans, due to shortage of beds in
Government hospitals.
The American Legion already has
placed before Congress a request for
1900 more beds in hospitals, under the
United States Veterans Bureau, and
claims that the situation is urgent, as
regards regular patients.
Maj. Peak has written to Watson B.
Miller, chairman Of the national re-
habilitation committee of the American
Legion, concerning the matter and
asked whether there is lack of facili-
ties for proper disqualification of ex-
service men,"
Fears for "an acute situation" were
expressed by the Presidents Own Gar
rison, which said in a communication
from Comdr. A. j. Renoe that reports
indicated "a tremendous shortage of
beds in the United States Veterans
Hospitals throughout the country"
