Dear Folks: As I am back in the good old U. S. A. I will try and write more often, and I should hear from your more often than I have. Our commissary finally closed and we were ordered home. "The ship on which we made the return trip surely was a rough and unof the men got their arms and legs broken. At night I generally tied myself in bed.

Pon landing in America we were first sent to Camp Merritt, and after two or three days, were sent to this camp. "I do not know just how long I will be here, I am in the hospital now but don't worry, nothing serious, I think I will be home by the last of this month or the first of December.

RESERVATIONS DO ! NOT KILL TREATY! WASHINGTON", Nov. 17 The res-j ervations being written into the peace j treaty by the senate largely represent1

a compromise between tne original Lodge committee reservations and reservations proposed by fifteen Republican mild reservationists. including Senators McCumber, Lenroot and Kellogg. The mild reservationsits are all friends of the treaty and, to their credit, they have used their balance of power to tone down reservations to such an extent that the American point of view is being made plain w'ithout destroying the USetUineSS OI the treaty. Some of the reservations being adopted go just a bit farther than the mild reservationists prefer, but not one is drastic enough to satisfy Sen tors Borah, LaFollette. Johnson and I other "bitter-enders," who plan to vote against the ratifying resolution and hope to kill the treaty. The reservations voted on so far are commonly referred to as the Lodge reservations, though as a matter of fact most of them are in language suggested by mild reservationists. Rejection Threatened. Although the league, with reservations included, is a mighty step In the right direction, administration senators threaten to vote for a rejection of the ratifying resolution and thus for the defeat of, the treaty because a majority of the senate, including as many as nine Democrats cn some roll calls, has declined to accept the covenant just as It is written. The Borahs, the Johnsons and the LaFollettes will welcome a chance to vote with administration Democrats in killing the treaty in its entirety. Hagerstown, Ind.

Through the Widow's Lorgnette

BY HELEN ROWLAND (Copyright, 1919, By The Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.) VANITY, VANITY ALL IS VANITY! "That's the fourth mirror I've

caught you looking Into, in the last 'shaking her head sadly, Jr wofifteen minutes," exclaimed the Bache-: men only had a little real vanity, lor, accusingly. j self-esteem, self-confidence, conceit. The Widow stopped, and continued aplomb, the 'cluck-cluck' spirit, or with unperturbed serenity to gaze ', whatever it is, and a little less selfinto the milliner's window, while she doubt, self-consciousness, and all that, adjusted her "beautv veil", with a i they'd be as irresistible as as "

"Yes," she admitted, smiling frank-! Widow, smiling up at him, captitulatly up at' him, "I wish I had a little ingly. as she turned into the door of

more vanity." MORE vanity!" the Bachelor almost dropped his cane, as he turned , to gaze at her in blank amazement. ; "Haven't you haven't women got all , the vanity there IS?" he demanded.) The Widow shook her head, until it gleamed and sparkled in the after-j noon sunlight. "Not even HALF of it!" she declared regretfully, as she resumed her ' place beside him, and they continued I their stroll . down the Avenue. "If! women were only half as vain as men. tney would spare tnemselves bU much effort, and agony, and worry, j and discomfort, and self sacrifice, j Women haven't any real vanity " "Humph!" and the Bachelor gave! his swagger little cane a vicious snap on the pavement. "Of course not. that's why they spend their days and their dollars at the beauty shops, and half their lifetime powdering their noses " "Yes, and why they totter about in high-heeled shoes that torture their toes and threaten them with sudden death, every few minutes," agreed the and white and pink false faces, and give up sugar and sweets, and starve themselves in order to take off a few pounds of flesh "And why they carry lip-sticks, and string themselves with beads and ear-1 rings and gew-gaws like Hottentot belles, and wear snippy Pomeranians' on their arms, and think up new styles .artle us w.th every few days! finished the Bachelor, with fine irony All because they haven t any real ; vanity!" '"Certainly!", asserted the widow. with cheerful finality, and a surreptitious glance at the fifth window-mirror, "All because they don't think they ar fascinating enough, just as the Lord made them, to charm a man!" "Wh-what! Well. I'll be " and the bachelor stopped speechless. "But no man is ever troubled with any such doubts and qualms about his fatal fascination," continued the Widow hastily, "For instance, no man w-ould walk the whole length of the town, as I am doing, in a torment of doubt, as to whether his hat was, or wasn't becoming. No man ever tortured his soul and persecuted his flesh. because he happened to be two pounds or even forty-two pounds overweight. It never even occurs to a man. ihat a little thing like an elephantine girth, or a triple chin, or a red nose could possibly dim the light of his radiant and eternal charm for women! "No," agreed the Bachelor, scornfully, "and no man ever rushed to the "Well." admitted the Bachelor with , a shameless grin, "they do love us, just the same, don't they? No matter' how grotesque or feeble-minded a man may be. he can always get somebody to love him! " "Yes," and the Widow sighed. "Faith moves mountains why not feminine hearts? It is your beautiful child-like. Imperishable faith in yourselves " "And because we're so scarce and so coy!" suggested the Bachelor maliciously. "And. because you're so VAIN!" finished the Widow, with a triumphant wave of her silver vanity-case. "So vain about so many things, that have nothing at all to do with beauty. If it isn't his mighty inte'leet. or hi.-! brilliant wit, or his wonderful judgment, a man can get all 'fussed no' over himself just, because he can lift a few pounds more than another man, or make, the eighteenth hole in fewer strokes, or beat up another in a prizefight, or make a little more money in Wall Street. And, if he hasn't anything else on earth to be vain of,--why, he is vain, just because he is a MAN! It's that, perfectly beautiful cock-a-doodle-do spirit, that is born in every man and never dies out of him' Why. I've actually known dear, old, doddering things of eighty or ninety, to imagine that I was flirting with them " "Well, perhaps you were," put in the Bachelor, accusingly. "You'd flirt with

a ghost, if there were nobody else i handy. But if you admire our 'cock-a-: doodle-do' spirit so much, why don't ; you women work up a little of t li. j i 'cluck-cluck' spirit, and a little self- j satisfaction to offset ours? A woman;, is never satisfied with anything about j herself the color of her hair, tho ', shape of her nose, her weight, or her j photograph! What woman ever ad-i j mitted that her photograph did her j justice?" r "Not one of us!" acknowledged the j Widow, promptly. "She wants it to flatter her, to idealize her, to glorify j ! her. to improve on her. But a man is ; i perfectly satisfied, if the photographer!1 can only make a picture of him, that j looks anywhere nearly as attractive i as he thinks he does. "No retouching", j he insists complacently. "I want it to ' look LIKE ME!" What man ever! thought it was necessary to improve ; on himself, in a photograph or out of it? He will stand before the

camery, m anything from running trunks, to his fishing clothes, and never even stop to smoothe his tophair. His aplomb is simply wonderful. That's why I envy men so!", and thft Widow sighed again. "Why?" inquired the Bachelor. "Because a man never allows a little thing like beauty, or grace, or art, or the horror of embanpoint to! , interfere with his comfort or his fun ; said the Widow. "He always eats what . caiu Liicr mu . lie: ai n a; cao n nai j he wants, wears the most comfortable clothes, sits in the most comfortable

Jack Dempsey is said to have signeJ tentative articles of agreement for a twenty-round battle with Jo Beckett for the heavy-weight tile at New Orleans on March 17, but it is decidedly doubtful whether the men face each other in the ring on that date.

asset that will be worth a fortune. He would be able to take things easy meeting the third and fourth raters of England and France for large purses. Return battles with Carpen tier and Bombardier Wells and bouts with some of the clumsy lesser lights would keep him busy for a long time to come. So there really is no great incentive for him to come over here and take a licking from the hard hitting Dempsey. However, there is a chance that

Beckett will take himself as seriously i By 1918 this had been increased to as some of the English boxing critics 6000 tons per week, or an increase of do.

sure that Young Aheara w as a for-i midable candidate for the world's heavyweight title. They dubbed him I "John Bull's Boy" and went into ecstasies over his science and hitting ability. Just about that time Gunboat Smith went to England and made a very poor showing with Georges Carpentier. The Gunner was a rough house fighter, whose ring tactics were altogether different from what the conservative English thought a real boxer should display and so their opinion of American heavy-weights in general was still forther distorted. Not having seen Beckett in action, it may be as hard to judge him from this side of the Atlantic as it is for the English followers of boxing to get a true line of Dempsey's ability, but it seems safe to predict that he would be able to make Dempsey ex tend himself. Beckett is nothing more than a novice and even though he may be of good material, he entirely lacks experience. Beckett has yet to meet a good second rater. Therefore he has had no chance to learn what real fightin? means. He has not even seen a time in an ammunition dump explosion in France last June, has received his honorable discharge from the army at Camp Sherman, O., and ha? accepted a position in Indianapolis.

Carpc-ntier himself has always been more or less of a mystery to American boxing followers, although so much has been print ed about the ring prowess or th1 Frenchman.
