can hardly tell your how got on the casualty list. We were going forward when we began to inhale mustard gas. A second later was unconscious and I remained that way 43 hours.

P. Morehouse. We Breathed Cold, Then Hot in War Sentiment. George P. Morehouse, retiring president of the Kansas State Historical society, in his address Tuesday afternoon before the forty-third annual meeting of society had for his topic "Kansas as a State of Extremists." It departed radically from the usual address on such occasions, which is generally eulogistic of Kansas and Kansans, in that it dwelt upon and criticised some of our freaks and uncertainties.

In part he said: 'Avoid extremes' is an admonition which Kansas has never followed in the past will probably never obey in the future. "Our Kansas historians have been extremists. Once they claimed in a satisfied way that Kansas could not boast of a remote antiquity; that her soil never witnessed stirring events until its settlement by the white man; but now it is known that prehistoric man lived and flourished within our borders thousands of years ago. "And what extremists, we have been as advertisers, to the world our good crops when we had them, and our poverty when the drouth grasshoppers destroyed them. In politics, to what extremes we have gone, and with what lightning changes.

Extremes in Politics. "The tendency of Kansas to go to extremes along political lines is one of its well known traits and was never more fully demonstrated than its attitude regarding the present great world war. From a condition of German worship and apology for her early warlike acts and an opposition to the part off America, Kansas people any form war preparedness upon have changed to enthusiastic support of a vigorous war policy. We have almost forgotten and even now try to conceal the fact that most of our citizens started off upon the wrong foot. We are really ashamed of our tardiness in getting into the war game against the unspeakable Hun and preter.

to deny, as the charstarted In 1914, most Kansas papers and public men of every party became leaders in all kinds of visionary ill-advised peace movements and followers of milk a and water enthusiasts of the Henry Ford school. "During 1916, even the little patriotic. enthusiasm we experienced, when the Kansas National Guard went to the Mexican border to protect American interests, was neutralized by the activity of peace league movement, which condemned any military. preparedness. The Kansas pulpit, many newspapers and public men advocated a 'peace at any price and even Kansas educational institutions hindered National Guard recruiting by advising the students not to enlist.

All of these agencies of pacifism, which then advocated the policy of nonresistance and opposed an enlarged army and navy, did not realize thatthey were following out a German propaganda plan especially designed to keep America in a weak and uncertain condition while the Huns plundered the world. "But nothing better illustrates the position Kansas people took, at that time, the resolutions and Kansas Peace and Equity league, held speeches ether the state meeting of the on the 30th day of January, 1916, in the city of Topeka. Altho that meeting was largely attended by delegates from all over the state- -among which were some of the leading editors, preachers, educators a and public men of Kansas -it marked the lowest ehb to otism which red-blooded American ever receded in our common- wealth. If the false and visionary doctrines advocated there had not been challenged within a few days by the president of the United States and some subsequent events, it is doubtful to what extremes they would have led. At the present time, ARMY GETS BOTH Twin Brothers Ask To Be Inducted at Same Time.

One Was Drafted and Other in Deferred Class. A wheat prince from the grain belt of Kansas entered the office of the draft appeal board, followed by his two husky sons who looked so much alike that the man who watched them enter thought he was seeing double. The father introduced his twin sons and explained his errand. One of the boys, he said, had been drafted and the other had received a deferred classification. That meant that they would be separated for the first time in their lives.

"Wherever one of the boys goes," the father said, "they both go. When one gets a job of work away from home, they both go and finish it up half time. They are always together, and one of them would be pitifully lonesome without the other." Both Ready to Go. "Are you asking for the exemption of both these husky, healthy, giant young men?" the appeal board man inquired. "No." the father replied, "we have come to see if both couldn't be accepted.

We want to do our share, I am willing to offer both the boys, and they are willing to go, if only they can together." So it was arranged that the sons should have a few days longer at home to assist in getting in the remainder the crop, and then both set out to camp together. Whatever renunciation of each other's society their future military destinies may require of them, when last seen by their fond father, they were marching side by side, one trim, khaki-clad figure, the exact duplicate of the other. NO FAMINE THERE Italy Will See No Food Shortage This Winter. Washington, Oct. is one of the foes Italy will not be called upon to face this coming winter, altho she still depends greatly upon America to keep people from want.

This cheering message from the Italian food controller has reached the department of commerce. "The food shortage of the past will not come again," it reads. In explaining that there is still a food shortage, the food controller declares that "the allies can well count on the United States to supply what may be necessary." Bread composed of 85 per cent wheat will in all probability be available for all. the Italian food controller said. Crop shortages have been made up by the vast supplies of food stuffs that have poured in from America.

"If the rules of baking are observed, the country can count on bread of excellent quality, appeasing and easily digested," he said. A poor olive crop has resulted in a shortage of this important product. Butter is also likely to he scarce. Lard and fats. however, the communication explains, will be available in "more reasonable quantities" and the outlook for meats, fish and vegetables is bright.
