IB DUELS IS RECORD OF GERMAN OFFICER Lieutenant Gericke Carrying Many Scars, Says It Is Easy to Start Them.

KANSAS CITY. Dec. 12. The scars that mark the chin and forehead of lieutenant Hans Gericke show that he is no "chocolate soldier." Student and army life In Germany tends to mar the visage, and the sober lieutenant's face is seamed and slashed from many a repier thrust. "Lieutenant, did you ever nave a duel?" a friend asked, as the winner of the International balloon race and a party were sitting at a table in the Pompelln room of the Hotel Baltimore. "Duels? Oh, my, yes," the German laughed. "They're common at home. I've had twenty." The others present looked at each other In amazement. The German was surprised that his remark was considered unusual. "No, I'm wrong," he said. " It Is only eighteen. Kvery army officer fights duels. We think nothing of it. "Hut you havn't had one recently?" some one asked. "No, not for some time more than a year ago I had the last," he replied, lighting a cigaret. The face of the lieutenant is the face of a noldier and a fighter. HiB chin in prominent, his mustache turns up at the ends aggressively, ills manner is not boastful, tie speaks pleasantly, but there Is something about his eyes that is absent from a man who has led a simple life. One would hesitate to offend him. Across bis chin and forehead are scars that cross and recross one another. On his left temple is a long seam running down to the cheek from a wound that did not heal smoothly. But the marks do not detract from his good appearance. "Vou are interested in duels?" he asked. "They are a part of the life. It's against the law to fight, but an officer or a student who refuses a challenge is an outcast. The army doesn't want him. Promotion is out of the question. The emperor has declared against duels, but he wouldn't admire a man who was afraid to fight. "The start of a duel is simple. You are sitting in a cafe, and perhaps you glance at a young woman who is dining with another officer or student. You look at her again and Drettv soon the escort comes over to your table. " 'I don't like that,' he says. " 'Very well,' you Say, without paying much attention to him. " 'My cards,' he says. " 'And mine,' you answer. "He goes back to his table. Two or three mornings later a man calls on you. "Tomorrow morning suit you?' he " 'With sabers," you reply simply. And that's all there is to it except that you fight him until the surgeon tells you to stop. You draw blood on his cheek and the surgeon stops the bout to make an examination. " 'It's only a scratch,' he says. 'Go on,' "When one man is badly wounded, a blood vessel cut or he is killed the fight stops. I have seen noses sliced off and eyes gouged out. I see you gentlemen looking at my face. Would you think I was bragging if I told you that my opponents have many vSrse scars? I suppose you would, so 1 will not say.' But thoso who were listening knew that those who faced Lieutenant Gericke had fared worse, for he is that kind of a lieutenant. Compulsory military life in Germany la championed by the lieutenant. Kvery boy of eighteen he says, must cuter the service. If he goes into the infantry the term is two years, and if into the cavalry or artillery he must stay three years. Physical inability is the only excuse accepted. If the boy is not qualified the first year he must come back the next year and the next year and then next. If he is not improved at the last examination he is allowed to go his way. "The service teaches a boy to tell one foot from the other," he said. "The pay amounts to nly 5 cents a day in United States money. For the cavalry and artillery it is 6,8 cents, but that much means more in Germany than it does in America. Many of the men send money home, as the government provides many comforts without cost. After the term expires the soldier must report every two A Pint of Unequaled Cough Syrup for 50c The Quickest, Surest Cough Remedy You Ever Used, or Money Refunded. Stops Even Whooping Cough Quickly.

Are you keeping clean inside with Cascarets, or merely forcing a passageway every few days with salts, cathartic pills or castor oil? This is important. Cascarets work while you sleep; cleanse and regulate the stomach, remove the sour, undigested and fer-! menting food and foul gases; take the excess bile from the liver and carry out of the system all the decomposed waste matter and poison in the intestines and bowels.

He reports for this practice twice and then he reports each year for a few days' : practice and exercise. That is kept up until he is thirty-five years old. However each ex-soldier must report his address every six months. "Every man in Germany has his service papers, but after he is forty-five years old he is exempt. In case of war this vast body of trained men are subject to call to arms. There is little complaint because the. men are loyal, they are serving their emperor, which means a lot to a German. "The enlisted men never have a chance to become officers. The officers are men whose parents are able to educate them at the gymnasiums or high schools. These men serve in the ranks a year and if they are capable they are made officers. However, rich or poor every man must serve his time and wealth will never bring a commission. No man who is not a gentleman is a German officer."

of the governors of the Aero Club of,and the ten day Durbar ceiebration

America to appoint a committee to i make plans for the inernational avia-1 lion mrei Ul in tTu.uaui the conditions prescribed by the International Aeronautic Federation at the Rome congress. There is said to be a disposition to give the event to the West. It was declared today by Henry A. Wood, a vice-president of the club, that the organization is content with the requirement that the race for the Coupe Internationale d' Aviation be Increased from 150 kilometers (87 miles) to 200 kilometers (117 miles.) The result, he declared, would be to stimulate the makers to produce machines that will stand the test of the strain of flying the greater distance at high speed. The club, he explained, favored the greater distance for this reason. Chicago is Favored. Concerning the location of the meet in 1912, the desire of Chicago men interested in aviation to take it to that city finds the ojcers of the governing body in a very favorable attitude to consider western claims. Robert J. Collier, president of the Aero Club, recently declared in favor of holding the meet in the West. "We are a national club," said Mr. Wood tonight, "and have no more interest in holding the meet in New York than in any other city. If it is held in a broad way. we shall be glad to see it go to the West. The East has had the meet, and the West is entitled to have it next year, provided that proper provision be made for it. That is if the safety of those participating shall be safeguarded as It should be. Mr. Wood who was appointed a committee of one some time ago to arouse interest in the contest among the builders of machines, said that he had received assurances that America would make a good showing in the next international contest. From other sources, it was learned that there was much criticism of the ground used at the Chicago meet of last summer among aviators who found the course unsafe. If this objection be removed, and a course obtained meeting the International Federation's requirements, there will be no lack of entries, it was said. The right of holding the International contest in the United States in 1912 was won by Charles Weyman, who defeated all foreign rivals in the 1911 holding of the event in England. Tact.

King George V. and his consort were formally '!aimed TJmperor and Empress rl India today. The reading of the proclamation was so timed that It reached throughout every city, town and village in the dePendency through heralds appointed to make the mandate known to the populace. Although the actual ceremonies did not take place until noon, Delhi was astir before daybreak in anticipation of the great event. Long files of elephants, fantastically decorated with brilliant colors and howdahs of gold and ivory, bore the native princes and their suites to the scene of the ceremony. Thousands of soldiers and government secret service men guarded every approach to the royal encampment, while a hundred thousand of the King's native and English troops surrounded the tents of King George and his suite to guard against a repetition of the mysterious fires that have broken out from time to time in the Durbar encampment. Children Crowd Streets. Shortly before noon 25,000 school children were marshaled in the streets of Delhi where they received floral decorations and flags and marched to the larger of the two arenas, in which the Durbar was to be held. While the spectators were assembled in this vast amphitheater, the royal pair were receiving the loyal homage of the heads of the provinces, the rul ing princes and the representatives of jth egovernment of India in the royal tent in the center of the smaller of the two arenas, in the royal encampment. The Royal bodyguard accompanied the King and Queen to the royal pavilion in the larger arena where they bowed and smiled their acknowledgement to the cheering spectators. The royal standard was raised as they ascended the throne amid a salute from the artillery. Brigadier General Peyton, chief herald, and his twenty-three assist- ! ants announced the imperial proclama tion declaring Their Majesties Emperor and Empress of India, with a fan fare of trumpets. After the reading of the proclamation a salute of one hundred and one guns was fired. The guests were then dismissed and the new Emperor and Empress retired to the royal tents. Flamed With Colors. The throng about the royal pavilion flamed with bright tcolors. The uniforms of the officers, and the state dress of the foreign representatives to the Dunbar, were dotted with the white turbans of the native princes and sparkle of jeweled orders and headdresses. The tiaimpets that announced the reading of the proclamation were made of solid silver and will be presented to the guests as souvenirs of the occasion. The celebration will continue all day, with hockey finals in the afternoon and a state banquet, followed by a reception in the evening. The formal investiture of the Emperor and Em press will take place on December 14, c,oge tWQ days ,ater ,Q Qtner pans of ,nd,a equal,y ela. hnrnto r-elhratlnns will imnrou the populace with the magnificence of the English sovereign.

Take this harmless compound as directed, with the knowledge that there is no other medicine, made anywhere else in the world, which will cure your cold or end grippe misery as promptly and without any other assistance or bad after-effects as a 25-cent package of Pape's Cold Compound, which any druggist in the world can supply. den's Flats,' the foremost of all comedy productions, which will be seen at the Gennett theater Wednesday night.

CONSERVATION Of LIFE INSURANCE Subject for Discussion Executives Meeting. at (National News Association) NEW YORK, Dec. 12 Conservation principles as applied to life insurance will be the topic discussed tomorrow and Thursday at the meeting here of the Association of Life Insurance Presidents. Insurance commissioners f all the states have been invited to attend and a majority of them are in the metropolis today, ready to participate in the opening meeting tomorrow. The purpose of the meeting as outlined today, by officers of the organization is summed up in the following statement of one of their number: The question presented for your consideration is the necessity for extending the principles of conservation in their application to the business of life insurance. It is well known that in life insurance many remarkable economics have been effected within the last few years. This has been done in the spirit of conservation, though not perhaps in the name of it. These economies have reduced the cost of insurance and have contributed to a better quality of business. It is doubtful if much more can be done along this line without the cooperation of the polI " , , ,A , the control of many items of expenses This must be made apparent to them and their influence invoked in behalf of better practices. Therefore, our fifth annual meeting will be devoted in part to a conference on Application of the Principles of Conservation to the business of Life Insurance. Under this head the public can be told of the danger of policy loans, evils of lapsing, folloy of twisting, injustice of taxation, expense of dissimlar laws, and advantages of intensive cultivation. "These topics are mentioned merely as being suggestive of how comprehensive we shall try to make the discussion. In fact the scope probably will be broad enough to cover most of the present-day problems of life Insurance trustees."

COIIVICTED'S RUSE WORKED 11 YEARS Uncle Sam, Touched by Ap peal, Waited for Visitof Stork Never Ccffle. GUTW-Ii;, Okla., Dec. 12 A wait

Vi twenty-two years for a visit from i the stork and the bird has not arrived yet is the record of the United I States in the case of Cap Cahay. Cahay w as convicted of being a "sooner" in Oklahoma territory. A "sooner" was a person who settled in the territory prior to the official opening of the territory to settlement on April 22, 1889. Chris Madsen, now chief deputy United States marshal at Guthrie, arrested Cahay, now more than twenty-two years ago. Madsen took Cahay to Wichita and was the officer in charge of the "sooner" during his trial in the federal courtroom there before Judge Williams. The case against Cahay was strong and conviction was assuered from the start. Cahay's attorney, however, was not to be defeated so easily, and also he knew the soft heart of the presiding judge, a man of religious temperament. Mrs. Cahay was one of the main witnesses for her husband. She was on the Oklahoma claim when her husband was arrested and followed him to Wichita. She played her role, too, admirably by her conspicuous appearance in court. Cahay, as forseen, was convicted, and Judge Williams gave him a sentence of two years in the penitentiary. The attorney for the prisoner did not ask for a new trial, nor did he file a motion for an" appeal. He requested solely that sentence be deferred until the expected arrival of the stork in the Cahay family. He made an eloquent appeal for mercy. There was no good reason why the request should not be granted, and Judge Williams consented. The attorney for the defense had bonsmen ready, and immediately Cahay was released on bond to appear, according to the court order spread on the records, whenever the stork should arrive. Several years passed and no stork came. Every year regularly an inspector appeared in Oklahoma territory from Washington to investigate the Cahay case and to learn when Cap would be ready to begin serving his two years' sentence. Evidently the stork was not a welcome visitor at the Cahay home, however, for it has never even hovered To Get Its Beneficial Effects Always Buy the Genuine PhHFigs ana manufectured byihe (p0Of(G$MI?(0l Sold by all leading Druqqists One Size Only, 504 nLVrtiie GET YOUR XMAS PHOTOS NOW The A.
