CLOSE CAMP FUNSTON WITH END OF YEAR; TRAINED 450,000 MEN ' (By Associated Press.) CAMP FUNSTON. Kan, Jan. 1-t-Wlth the fading of the year the final scenes are being enacted in the history of this cantonment. Through this camp 450,000 Americans passed in' the process of training for the world war and here Major General Leonard Wood; labored while three complete
dirlsions were whipped into shape to
face the foes of democracy.
Abandonment and dismantling of
the cantonment under recent orders of
the war department probably will
mean also the turning of Army City, a
civilian municipality on its border, in
to a deserted village.
In the summer of 1918 there were as many as 45,000 men in training here
at one time,- but when the order to
vacate was received 3,900 officers and
enlisted men of the seventh division
were stationed here. These are being
sent to Camp Meade. Md., with the ex
. ceptton of the Eighth Field Artillery.
which is going to Hamail and the di
visional tank corps which is destined
for Camp Pike, Ark. Deserted by Jan. 15.
Officers here said today that the camp will be deserted by all except a few hundred caretakers by Jan. 15 of
the new year.

K ansas representatives in congress have presented to the War department numerous protests from Kansas organizations against this program. This state is particularly concerned in the "Kansas Building." built with $30,000 raised on popular subscription and used as a "community center" by soldiers and visiting relatives. Camp Funston, occupying 806 of the 40,000 acres in the Fort Riley government reservation, was established early in 1917 and the building plans inaugurated in June of that year. The first troops moved in the following September. Trained 89th Division. General Wood was the first commandant. Under his supervision the 89th division was trained In foar months, going overseas in May of 1918. General Wood then was returned to Funston and trained a new division the Tenth, which was ready to go when the armistice was signed. Prior to the assembling of the 89th, MajorGeneral J. C. Wynn took the Nineteenth division overseas from this camp late in 1917. Army City represented an outlay in buildings alone of several hundred thousand dollars. Its sole patronage was the Camp Funston soldiers and during the war period it boasted "the largest pool hall, the largest barber rhop and the largest laundry in the United States." It also had theaters, stores, cafes, dance halls and churches. With the dwindling of the camp population the town's business has been reduced accordingly.

(Continued from Page One) as a meance to its own peace and
freedom, will consult with the other powers affected with a view to devising means for the removal of such menace, and will, the necessity arising in the future. Co-operate with the friends of civilization for its defense." Knox Substitute. That is Knox idea of what he called "An Association of Nations." That 1 his substitute for the league of nations. The whole significance of this Knox episode is interpreted by the more mature minds among the observers here to mean that Knox does not stand alone. That he drew his statement up in consultation with several other irreconcilable Republican senators, that is in effect a declaration by these senators that they will oppose the plan that Harding has been evolving through conferences with the "best minds" outside the senate, and that going even further these senators propose to insist upon and fight for a larger share in the management of American foreign relations encroaching as far as they can on the customary prerogative of the president in that field. . Two questions now arise. The first is, how many other senators are back of Knox. Our guess here in Marion is that Knox has got behind a considerable force, a force measurably larger than the irreconcilable group was last winter. Before I left Washington I knew of more thaD one convert the irreconcilables have lately recruited. The second question, obviously is, what course will Harding now follow.

MURRETTE Although Lloyd Hamilton has appeared in but one Mermaid Comedy, "Dock Inn, he has received letters addressed In care of the producing company from nineteen different countries, a record which is remarkable. A goodly share of these writers recall that they followed his humorous adventures through many of the "Ham and Bud" comedies which he made for the old
Kalem company. Several of the correspondents are not quite certain whether he is the same "Ham" because he has discarded the bushy mustache that he formerly used. Hamilton is to be seen in "Dynamite," his second two reel Mermaid comedy, at the Murrette theatre, for the last time Saturday. It is described as an explosion of laughter. It i3 said to establish him firmly in the very front rank of comedians who rely on straight ability alone, without resort to tricks of make-uo. Hamilton is mak
ing six comedies a year, restricting J his output to assure the utmost in
quality. Gilbert Pratt is directing;
them. MURRAY If - you have" ben ' prevented from seeing William Russell in the Fox production, "The Challenge of the Law," which has enjoyed a most successful run at the Murray Theatre, your final opportunity to witness it is here today, for the engagement closes with Sunday's showing. This is a picture which you or your family cannot afford to miss for it is Russell at his very best. E. Lloyd Sheldon, author of the story, is noted- for his successes on the screen MURRAY VAUDEVILLE If you are beset with the "blues" or old R. E. Morse has been talking to you, and you wish to forget your troubles, go to the. Murray next week and you will forget it all at seeing the four big comedy acts which have
been booked for the first half opening
Monday matinee. Every act on tho bill is given to producing laughter - and dispelling gloom, and we will guarantee that when you . leave the theatre the sun will be shining brighter and the birds singing more sweetly. , The biggest laughing act doubtless will be Harrison's Comedy Circus, an offering consisting of animals, clowns, a bucking broncho, red lemonade n'everything. This act will entertain and delight the grownups as well as the kiddies. Princeton and Watson, a man and woman comedy team who are wellknown comedy purveyors will come here from the Palace Theatre, Fort Wayne, and present .their laughing rkit "In Brownderbyville." This is a standard Keith big-time act and big favorites in the larger cities. McCormack and Winehill are two young
comedians who also are sure-fire laugh producers winning gales of laughter with their "nuttisms." Then for good measure we also will have James Lichter, a clever young man, in his comedy pianologue which he has offered in all the leading vaudeville theatres. Buck Jones will be seen upon the screen in "Just Pals," showing this popular star in an entirely new role. Those in the front seats are liable
to be splashed with real water when Lottie Mayer and her Diving Beauties open Thursday matinee for the last half. This act created a sensation last season when they played " here, and while several of the girls have been retained, a number of new diving feats have been incorported since they were here. Preceding the diving exhibition in an immense ' tank, the girls make their appearance singing congs in transparent bath houses before executing their barefoot dance upon the sands. Beside their diving and swimming ability, these young ladies have good looks and can dance and sing making their offering a decided novelty. This act broke all attendance records last season and no doubt will break their own record here next week. Also on the same bill comes Frances and DeMar, a comedy man and woman team in their laughing skit, "Making Good"; Nina Esphy, "The Saxaphone Girl," and Max York's Pupils, consisting of a troupe of trained fox terriers who are put through unusual feats. Sessue Hayakawa, the Japan
ese actor, will be seen on the screen the last half in his latest production, "Li Tang Lang," Immediately following the Mayer act after the first show Friday evening, a diving contest will be held open to any boy or girl under fifteen years of age. Three worthwhile prizes will be given to the three best divers selected by the audience. All contestants will please report at the Murray stage entrance at seven o'clock Friday evening with their own bathing suits.
