BOOK OUT "Martial Adventures of Henry and Me" Off Presses. It Is Written in Emporia Author's Best Style. SOUSED" IN KAN. LANGUAGE It Is First Close Up View of War by a Kansan. Famous Story of Pants That Failed Elaborated.

Author's copies of William Allen White's new war story, "The Martial Adventures of Henry and Me." are in the 1 Kansas book stores. White's new book is an ingenious and clever story of the trip to Europe last summer by the author and Henry J. Allen of Wichita. Using a characteristic White expression, the book is "soused" in Kansas language. Yet "there isn't a headache in a barrel of it." It is the first close-up view of the war by a Kansan, and is chock full of the thrills of the two widely known Kansas editors who went to the west ern front for the American Red Cross.

That the book might have immediate publication, White sidetracked the printing of a book which has been in preparation nearly two years. The new war book has much to do with the first -hand observations of the business of war and Hun brutality and inhumanity. It has also to do with a love affair which started on the boat and terminated "somewhere in France." The Eager was the heroine and Allen bet on the Gilded Youth. White bet on the Young Doctor because he was the only contender left in the race. From a Forty-third street store in New York Allen and White bought their now uniforms.

They were told Red Cross officials that uniforms were essential. So the Kansas real sports and reckless with their cash--squandered $17.93 011 each outfit. Whereupon they started across the pond "holding in low esteem the pride, pomp and circuinstance of glorious war, as exemplified by these military duds." White Allen landed in Paris at night and rode thru dark streets to the hotel. Picking a Hotel. "Wes went to the Ritz." White it seemed to me that piains, as leading American orator, Henry should a have proper European terminal facilities.

the Ritz looked to me like the proper setting an international figure. There, it seemed to me, the rich and the great congregate to invite him to would and to me, at least, who had dinners imagination, there seemed something rather splendid in fancying the gen'Ah, yes--Henry J.

Then came the hasty preparation to to the front. Those $17.93 uniforms, and were gloom unpacked. seized the Sorrow. pilgrims sadKansas. Four thousand miles from home, without their wives and from only a limited stock of tangible French stock.

Allen and White almost in missed the trip to the firing line. "When we reached our rooms that midnight, Henry lifted his voice not in pleading, but in command. For we were to start at 7 the next morning and it was orders. So each went to his bedroom and began unpacking his bundles. In ten minutes Henry appeared caparisoned like a chocolate divinity.

With me there was trouble. Some one had blundered. The shirt went on easily, the tunic went on ily, but the trousers--some one had shuffled those trousers on me. Even a shoe spoon and foot ease wouldn't get them to rise to their necessary 36. Now do me much good height.

Inspection, proved they were as a waist line. There is a net deficit of eight tragic inches and eight short in one waist line is a catastro- phe. Called in Chambermaid. "Yet there we were. It was half past twelve.

In six hours more we must be on our way to the front--to the great adventure. Uniforms were imperative. And there was the hiatus. Whereupon Henry rose. He for the valet; no response.

He rang for the tailor; he was in bed. He rang for the waiter; he was off duty. There was just one name left on the call card, SO Henry bustled me into an overcoat and rang for the chambermaid. And she appeared as innocent of English as we of French. It was an awful moment! "But Henry began slowly making gestures and talking in clear-ly e- nun-ci-a-ted tones.

The gestures were well known gestures of his validictory, Chicago to the Auditorium Republican in party, at beautiful gestures and impressive. The maid became interested. Then he took the recalcitrant trousers, placed them gently, but firmly against his friend's heart--or such a matter -showing how far from the ideal they came. Then laid on the bed a brown woolen shirt and in the tail of it marked, out dramatically a slice the shape of an old fashioned slice of pumpkin pie--a segment ten or a dozen inches wide that would require two hands in feeding. Then he pointed from the shirt to the trousers, then to the ample bosom of his friend, indicating with emotion that the huge pie slice was to go into the rear corsage of the breeches.

"It was wonderful to see intelligence dawn in the face of that chambermaid. The gestures of that Bull Moose had touched her heart. Sudspeech denly she knew the truth and it made And her free, so she cried oratory had again risen to o'clock proper she its place in our midst. At 2 returned with the pumpkin pie slice from the tail of brown shirt neatly, but hardly gaudily inserted in the rear line of the riding trousers and waist down to pleasant dreams. For we lay found that by standing stiffly we erect, by keeping one's tunic pulled down, and by carefully avoiding a stooping posture, of it one's was double possible life." to conceal the Thrills Behind Trenches.

Then came the thrills behind the endless processions of trenches motors, spectacles of 'killed and wounded soldiers, the bombing of Red Cross hospitals by Hun airplanesand the genuine sensation of tae first meeting with big shell from the German lines. "As we stood by the automobiles at Recicourt, kicking the wrinkles out of our cotton khaki riding breeches--and sideration in the house committee. mine, alas, had to be kicked carefully to preserve that pie slice cut shirt tail that expanded the waistband from 36 to 44 inches- -little did it seem to Henry and me that we should first meet a German shell face to face in a place like Recicourt. The name did not sound historic. "But we had scarcely shaken hands around the group of American ambulance men who gathered to greet us before we heard a awful sound.

It was as if some one suddenly had picked up the whole Haynes hardware store--at Emporia -tinware, farm implements, nails and shelf goods, and switched it with an awful whiz thru the air and landed it upon the sheet iron roof of Wichita's civic forum which seats six thousand. We looked at each other, in surprise. but each realized must be casual to support the other. 80 we said nothing to the ambulance boys, and they being used to such things, let it pass also. We went 011 talking, so Major Murphy, being a soldier.

So did Mr. Richard Norton, being head of the American ambulance service. In a minute there was a fearful whistlelong. piercing and savage. And then they had taken the Peters hardware stock in Emporia and dumped it on the Wichita Union station.

Still no one mentioned the matter. It seemed to Henry and me to be anything but a secret, but if the others had 110 notion of it. far be it from us to blab." White's book is full of Kansas language and Kansas color and Kansas names--the Murdocks, Henry Lassen. Henry Ganse's golf scores, Commercial street in Emporia, Cortege Hill and the Beacon building in Wichita. And lots and lots of two men and a maid--the Gilded Youth, the Young Doctor and the Eager Soul--in France.

GEN. MARTIN IN FRANCE Kansas Military Commander Arrives Safely "Over There," Brig. Gen. Charles Martin has arrived safely in France, according to a cablegram received by Mrs. Charles I.

Martin at her home in Topeka. The well known army leader is now in France in command of the Seventieth brigade of the Thirty-fifth division. Brigadier General Martin left this country one day after the 137th regiment of Kansas sailed. Information coming from France concerning new arrivals of Kansans brings the war much closer to the people of this state. Brigadier General Martin was formerly adjutant general Kansas, and served as an officer of Federick Funston's famous fighting Twentieth Kansas during the SpAlmost at American the war.

same hour which single word from overseas brought a Mrs. Martin, a cablesstie came to the C. G. Blakley home, 1434 Polk street. "Safe." was the message.

It was from the son, Sergt. Victor Blakley, attached to the headquarters detachment of the fifth division. The message is assumed to mean that Sergeant Blakley arrived safely in France with one of the units under command of Brigadier General Martin. TO BEAUTIFY FUNSTON General Wood Starts Systematic Landscape Work at Camp. Camp Funston, May the plans of Maj.

Gen. Leonard Wood, commander of the 89th division, are realized, Camp Funston is to be the garden spot of the river flat on which it is situated. The commander has begun an intensive campaign of beautifying the camp site. Twelve-foot walks are being laid out in front of the barracks, to be used in forming for inspection, and other company ceremonies. A complete system of six-foot walks also is being built.

Both are to be constructed of the crushed stone dust from the camp rock quarry. Between the walks and the barracks and in the company and regimental areas, grass has been planted, and walking on these plots is forbidden. From the hills north of the reservation, evergreen trees have been transplanted to border the parked areas. And even flowers and shrubbery have been purchased and planted alongside the barracks.

C. A. Bismarck's "Nation of House Servants" Now Becomes A Nation of Army Worms Turned from Domestic Peace Ideals to a Ravaging War on Their Neighbors The following article by Harvey, D'Higging is issued by the Committee on Public Information: "The Germans," their beloved marck said, "are a nation of house servants." His successors seem to have made them a nation of army worms. All their fine qualities of loyalty and service which Bismarck summed up so contemptuously -have been turned from ideals of domestic peace and labor to the ravaging of their neighbors in a devastating war. A nation of army worms, led by imperial locusts, they have advanced upon the world in their famous mass formations, a gray-green swarm of devoted loyalists, at once admirable and horrifying.

World Banded Against Them And the world has banded against them. One by one a score of States have been forced to arm and defend themselves. Not even the peaceful traditions of China or the determined Isolation of the United States could save them from the unprovoked assaults of this submissive people led by ambitious maniacs. The war has become a war to rid Germany and the world of Germany's Mud Mullah. And just as there would be no peace a hundred years ago in Europe, and no freedom in France until Napoleon had been caged.

so now there can be no security for any nation and no liberty for the Germans until their Hohenzollern has been crushed and his loyal victims awakened from their national hypnosis. The free peoples of the are battling against the last serfs of military autocracy not only to protect themselves, but to liberate their enemy. America is Righting to establish among the nations of Europe another such peaceful league of self-governing States as our War of Independence founded on continent. It is a war against war---against international injustice, and predatory ideals of empire, and the slavery of willing slaves assaulting freedom. Again and again the nations made terms of peace with Napoleon.

Sunday, Mother's day, we had two especially fine attractions; the Wichita Philharmonic orchestra in the morning and an address by colonel Bispham in the evening. The crowd for the morning service while not as large as was expected, heard probably the finest music that has been given in camp. The orchestra of fifty pieces under the direction of Mr.

P. Hans Flath, with Mrs. Flath as soloist pleased everyone. Colonel Bispham, commander of the Medical officers' training camp, left a real message of help for the boys. While he has been a wanderer himself most of his life, as he says, yet he knows what the influences of home and Mother can mean to boys.

"Your mothers are proud to loan you to the government in its need," he told them. We welcome Ben H. Smith of Highland. Kansas, to our staff of secretaries, hope he can remain with us permanently. He makes friends rapidly with the fellows.

Athletic Secretary Evans is managing the camp ball tournament this week. It keeps him hustling to do all of his work with the added job of umpiring two games each morning. The first evening of boxing and wrestling in the airdome was given last Wednesday with a good program. Several live, active bouts were put on In both lines and the spectators were truly entertained. Anyone over the camp who wants to see some real fun can find it here on Wednesday nights at 8.

His apt stories were humorous and illustrative and helped make the boys happy. KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS Friday, May 10 Bishop John Ward of Kansas City, Kansas, visited the K. of C. buildings in the camp.

The bishop had come to Flush, Kansas, on official business. and from there he drove over to Funston. On Friday evening, May 10 a concert was given in building No. 1 by Miss Clark, soprano; violinist and Mrs. Clark, accompanist.

They are Junction City ladies, and gave an enjoyable program. Thursday evening, May 16th an entertainment consisting of musical numbers and readings will be given by ladies from Topeka, Kansas. The dances given in the K. of C. buildings the first Saturday of this month were so successful that they will probably be repeated each visiting day in the future.

A la large consignment of baseball, soccer and lawn tennis equipment has been received from headquarters. The baseballs, bats, gloves, were put into immediate use, and definite arrangements are being made for tennis courts. Secretary Casey will in future devote most of his time to work at the base hospital. For some time past Secretary Ryan has been located at the receiving station when the men were coming into the camp, mend Secretary Alexander has been dividing his attention between similar work there and at the Detention camp amongst the negro soldiers.

There was a burst af shrapnel near the Dayton boy. His life was saved by his tin hat.

They were amazed at the immensity of the American metropolis. "Some city," was their enthusiastic comment. KANSAN IS HERO Lieut. Cassidy of Wichita Wins War Cross. Takes Hun Position--Brought Back Four Prisoners.

BOCHE UNEASY IN LORRAINE Americans Instill "Fear Into Enemy Soldiers. Germans Now Leave Front Trenches Every Night. BY FRANK J. TAYLOR. With the American Army in Lorraine, May Germans opposite the American lines in Lorraine tinue to show evidences of uneasiness.

They are speeding up their machine gun and artillery fire and increasing their pas bombardments, evidently seeking to forestall any aggressive action by our men. Despite the fact German officers tell their men that the Americans here are few in number--according to enemy prisoners--the boches have become absolutely unaggressive, SO far infantry combats are concerned. They retire from their front lines every night, our patrols have discovered. German deserters are continually coming into the American lines. Lieutenant Cassidy, of Wichita, has been decorated with the croix de guerre.

He conducted a patrol, under cover darkness, 400 yards inside the German lines. The patrol captured a German position, killing several and bringing back four prisoners. The crawled all the way back to their trenches on their stomachs, owing to the flares sent up by the Germans. The raid was made without assistance from American lery. Companies I and of the Ninth infantry also received the French war cross.

They beat off a German attack April 14, north of St. Mihiel, when enemy troops entered the American trenches under a barrage, dressed in French uniforms and yelling "gas alarm" in French and English. The ruse failed and the attackers were driven off, leaving a number of prisoners and sixty-one dead. Every dough boy and officer is writing to "mother" in observance of Mothers' day, May 12.

"A voice from the trenches" is the way Sergeant Empey's great story, "Over the Top," has been described by critics. As a drama with the fighting sergeant in the very role he enacted in the trenches, it I' will be shown May 30, 31 and June at the National Army theater on The Zone. The soldier with this play the mirror up to human private nature holds as he found it in the English soldier. His story will appeal to old alike, all who love pathos and humor, great deeds and young manly men. The New York Times in commenting on the story, "Over the Top," said: "Prospective soldiers can learn here pretty nearly just what is awaiting them, in both incident and sensation, while their folks at home will be heartened." Like the book, this Vitagraph drama is filled with anecdotes that will bring the smile and laughter.

Empey proves that life in the trenches is not all gloom by any means. He says: is not a pink tea, but in a cause like ours, mud rats, cooties, shells, wounds death itself are far outweighed deep sense of satisfaction felt by the man who does his bit. There is one thing my experience taught me that might help the boys who may have to go. It is this--anticipation is far worse than realization. In civil life a man stands in awe of the man above him, wonders how he could ever fill his job.

When the time comes he rises to theoccasion, is up and at it, and is surprised to find how much more easily than he anticipated he fills his re- sponsibilities. REGIMENTAL BALL POSTPONED Teams Will Play Saturdays and Sundays Hercafter. Baseball in the inter-regimental leagues took the grade on "low" last week, all of the games for this period being postponed from Tuesday and Friday to Saturday and Sunday. As a result, no reports of games last week have been turned in and the percentage column in the athletic office stands exactly where it was a week ago. Hereafter all games will be played on Saturdays and Sundays.

Thousands of American soldiers are studying French under auspices of the National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A. It is a part of their army training.

SAWDUST DOLLY SOLDIER BROUGHT TO LAND OF FREE after Waterloo. The French of his day were an admirable, a wonderful people; but led by his military ambition they became the conquering of mankind. It was his wars enemies that imposed militarism on Germany. It is his tradition that now animates the Prussian imperial buzzard. Useless to talk of terms of peace with this new Napoleonism.

Useless to plead the virtues of the German people. They have, become the outlaws of civilization, surrounded by a posse of nations and fighting desperately at the mouth of their cave. There can be no enduring peace till they have deposed their robber chieftian and renounced their creed of blood and iron. Forced Upon the United States The United States has been compelled to join the posse. After en-! during outrages with a patience that exasperated mankind, we have enrolled in the league of peace against Germany.

Our Navy is fighting in European waters to protect our own shores. Our Army going to the trenches in France that we may not have to dig trenches in America. We have organized for war because we have been denied peace. We have accepted conscription against conscription We given our Government the powers of a military dictator to save ourselves from the military dictatorship of the Most High of Potsdam. We have surrendered all peaceful liberties in order to organize our country for purposes of war, because war can be efficiently waged in no other way.

Only with blood and iron can we save ourselves from the devotees of blood and iron. When death comes into a dispute there is no answer to it but death. The "War Lord's" Peace Offer Now that the German war lord sees the sword at his throat, he is willing to use another argument. He offers to talk of "peace without punishment." He is willing to forget our dead, to forgive our wounds, to overlook our injuries, to bow us out of his fortress and repair his defenses, and fit a new blade to his old hilt. His agents assure us that our allies are not our friends; that this Y.

His activities consisted in a boxing and wrestling match pulled off before an audience three thousand, the organization of competitive baseball games between the second and third units, games which are now in progress at the red-hot stage, and a track meet for this week.

Mr. Graves will continue to give us a part of his time until our new physical director arrives. And he came back. We refer to Dr. C.

N. Clark, of Kansas City, who spoke at this camp some weeks ago. The occasion of his first visit was to preach, this time to deliver an educational address. He delivered, too. The kaiser would kick on paying the expenses of Doctor Clark's trip, and may now have one of his imps negotiating with Uncle Sam for his exile during the period of the war.

Anyway, the frequent applause during the and the round of it at the lecture, indicated keen appreciation of value of educationalresand inspirational A program in two parts was put on last Wednesday evening. The first by Secretary Rassweiler of No. 5, who gave a dramatic narrative of "The Three Things." This interesting reading was followed by a concert given by a quartette from the Ninetysecond division, under the direction of Mr. Guthrie. The field hospital recently established at this camp furnishes us a new opportunity for service.

The feature of the week was an entertainment given Sunday afternoon before an audience that nearly covered the hillside. Secretary King on very short notice provided a program real merit that will not soon be forgotten by any who had the privilege of being present. This program consisted of numbers by a band composed of men from Detention Camp No. 2, under the leadership of Sergeant Cohen of the Twenty-third company, the Jazz orchestra, and songs Recruit Grant and Privates Arnold and Halligan. The band has, been organized but a short time the program put on was equal to that of the best.

The windstorm of last Thursday played havoc with "hut" 15, and the following morning, at the regular time, business was opened in the small living tent occupied by Secretaries Marley and Goodwin.
