f - :.
Tokio, Nov. 25. Thel heroism of
Verdun will be commemorated by
the Emperor of Japan, who will send
to the French city a Japanese sword
newly wrought by the leading sword
smith of the nation.
The sword is of the kind known as
"Efu-no-tachi" used by the warriors
of ancient Japan solely on the bat

prisoner of war cannot be sure that

fortune of war has placed him.
The Associated Press correspon

day two senre Rumanian officers and
lien who had fallen into captivity
near Rucar, some twenty miles south
of here. No Central Power officer
within earshot.
One of the first men questioned

s:'l that he had looked for a chance
'o surrender. Questioned why, the
man almost flew into a rage. He
could hoi see why a Jew should fight
for a government whicu in times of
peace save him no vote and no part

In addition, a number of army posts
have been selected for transformation
into general' hospitals in case of em
ergency. This list includes Port Mc
Pherson, at Atlanta; Fort Oglethrope,
also in Georgia; Fort Benjamin Har
rison, Indianapolis, and other army
stations where barracks are available
for hospital purposes.
The medical corps has complete
equipment In storage for twenty evac
uation hospitals and two base hos
pitals. An vkeaHdtf hospital takes
care of 300 patients and a base hos
pital accommodates 500, so the total
reserve equipment ready for use at
a moment's notice is. sufficient for
Evacuation hospitals are
entirely under canvas and are intend
ed for use along an extended line of
communication.
The base hospitals now in service
are located at Fort Sam Houston, Fort
Bliss, Brownsville, Eagle Pass and
Nogales. Serving as feeders for these
institutions are the camp hospitals lo
cated at the' following points: Laredo,
120 beds; Lei Rio, 75 beds; Marfa, 150
beds; Demlng, 180 beds; Douglas, 300
beds; Llano Grande, 200 beds; Mc Al

beds.
Last July when state troops began
arriving at the border the only army
establishments for the care of sick
were the post hospitals at Fort Sam,
Houston, and Fort Bliss and much
smaller places at Laredo and a few
other border points. Practically the
entire system of base and Cap " hospi
tals has been built since the call on
the National Guard . was made.

was he who fashioned the
sword worif by the Emperor 6n the
occasion of the coronation or conse
cration ceremony in Kioto last year.
The sword-guard and other accesso
ries will be made of pure gold with
raised work representing flowers,
vines and other figures. On the up
per part of the hilt the imperial crest
of the chrysanthemum in gold is to
be mounted on both sides. The
sheath will be made of wood, its
outer part being covered with mother
of pearl and mounted with gold lac
quer designs. The sheath and hilt
are to be scultpured by master artists
while the sword-guard and other met
al accessories will be produced by
well-known goldsmiths.
The sword is expected to be ready
about the spring of next year when
it will be presented to the city of
Verdun through President Poincare..
Incidentally the Japanese depart
ment of education has begun the dis
tribution of essays concerning hero
ism of Verdun and other European
battlefields. The underlying idea is
that the riding generation is too
prone to think, that Japanese valor
and patriotsm is the greatest, if not
the only, real patriotism of the
world. To broaden the minds of the
young on this subject and give them
a truer" conception of world cour
age, educatibnal leaders are daily
presenting the - deeds of valor of
Europe.

Those who wish to win should start
at once in order to insure success.
There." are several urgent and ( com

should make an early start. In tho
first place it takes, only a few of the

ant a total of 1,000 votes. You can
vote just as many of these ten-vote
coupons as you can secure each, day.
In tho second plaice, the-time of
the contest has been divided into pe
riods, and each $15 worth of sub
scriptions turned in during the first
period calls for, more votes than will
be given during the ' second or third.
The difference of first period and sec
