1 liolLlLL FOR
BOYS li SERVICE
of com
Editor Standard: The suggestions
made through the columns of your pa
- per regarding a memorial in honor of
the boys of Ogden and Weber county
who responded to the call of our coun
try have all been deeply interesting
to" me. As the movement seemed to
; , be taking a satisfactory drift, I have
not felt disposed to "butt in," but there
: was just one word in Dr. Condon's ar
' tfcfc in, your last night's paper that I
' 5 want to object to.
; ' I most heartily agree with him that
;; the memorial should not be built of
; perishable material, but in both mate-
i rial and construction it should, as near
ly as possible, be made as indeslrucl
able as the everlasting hills in wliose
bosom it is set. A frame building con
taining a collection of relics would be
decidedly cheap and entirely inade
;1 quale to represent the supremo sacri
fice that has been offered by our loyal
' :ons Let it bn an eternal and impcr
; ' liable memorial, bui let it bo any
thing but a shaft, which though it may
be ever so beautiful from an artistic
$i?ndpoint, serves no other "purpose
; than to please the eye as did the monu-
nients of heather idolatry.
V'e want an imperishable record
I made of the names of our boys, one
hat will go down in the annals of the
! world, though the printed page may be
! destroyed. But aside from it being a
: work of art, there is no reason why it
v should not serve anomer purpose, es
I pcciall if that purpose is an appro
priate one
Our boys were selected for the serv
ice of our country because of their
J physical fitness. A memorial devoted J
to the interests of physical fitness, not
only of the present generationbui of!
all the generations to come, seems to j
me to be the most fitting testimonial I
i that we can offer to the young man
; hood that represented us In th great
" war.
I I believe it is safe to say that Og-
den is the only city of its size In the
United States that does- not boast a
public gymnasium. Small country
towns or less than one-tenth the popu
lation of Ogden have modern, up-to-
K date buildings and equipment for the
:fe physical training of their young men
W and women, while our boys have no
I place to go, unless they belong to a
, lodge, or are disposed to spend their
! leisure hours in a smoke saturated
pool hall
i No one will question our need of
1 such a place for our young people
whose physical opportunities are lim
ited by the nature of our city life. An j
Institution of this kind, say in Lester
park, under proper management. would
become a very popular placeand a
credit and source of pride to every citi
zen of our city and county. L-.'t it be
called Memorial hall and let it be elab
orate enough in structure and equip
ment to justify the name. A room for
war relies would be very appropriate,
and it would not be hard to find a place
of prominence for n bronze tablet con
taining the names of these who have i
I laid down their lives for the cause of j
r j made the same offering but were
' spared to return to us.
Life membership in the benefits, of
' 1 such an Institution for our soldiers and
sailors would be a substantial recog
; nltion and appreciation of their serv
, j ices and would not lack any of I he me-
morlal elements of the most artistic
i shaft that was ever constructed.
, ' Our need and our opportunity seem
I to have united themselves in this
; . proposition. Let's put it over, for now
; is our chance. The money .spent on a
i , granite or marble shaft, if put into a
1 memorial hall would serve a double
1 purpose, and satisfaction a hundred
' fold would come to those who contrib
ute. I would expect to do my share
toward the erection of a shaft, if that
Is decided upon, but I believe that I
f represent a very large percentage of
' the people of Ogden when I say'thal
; my contribution will be ten times as
i , much, if necessary, toward the cost of.
. an institution devoted to the democ
': ; racy of social relations and physical
; i fitness, as it would be toward the cost
of a memorial shaft. Furthermore, it
. ; will be given ten limes as freely.
Yours for Memorial hall,
II. M. MONSON.

The death of Mrs. Nettie Kienke
Pexton, aged 24, which occurred late
Sunday night, was also reported to
the city health office yesterday.
Anti -influenza vaccinations admin
istered during the day totalled 862, of
which 450 were given at the emer
gency hospital, while each of the in
oculation squads at the several fire
stations reported twenty-five to fifty
persons treated. Three nurses at the
j emergency hospital were kept busy
administering the scrum.
Liquor prescriptions filled at the
emergency .institution numbered 121,
which kept an- extra attendant fairly
busy, especially by reason of the fact
that many who applied failed to bring
containers. All such were instructed
to bring a bottle or other vessel before
their prescriptions could be filled,
Some Confusion Reported.
Considerable confusion has been ex
perienced by the recent change in the
quarantine regulations, which places
influenza sufferers and others living
in the same houses under the same
restrictions as those afflicted with
other contagious and infectious dis
eases. Death in Prison Camp.
One more death was reported from
the prison camp Isolation hospital at
Fort Douglas yesterday. George

(By The Associated Press) De

out this morning from tho frontier to

main of militarism now Is furnishing
billots for tho "contemptible little
army'" which roused German scorn in
1914.
Tho correspondent went forward
with the forces advancing from Ver

surrounding territory whero they
paused for the night. Hero they are
In the course of their methodical
march toward the Rhine. Some of the
people gathered by tho roadside to
pay their respects or to welcome the
troops, but for the most part stolid
indifference or glances of hatred were
encountered as might be expected
from a race conquered but not yet
humbled.
Once over the bordor tho contrast
has been strange the same kind of
beautiful country of neatly kept farms
but a land of gloom and distrust.
Thousands of German families kept
indoors rather than enduro seeing the
hated British.
It was repeatedly necessary for tho
correspondent to halt his car and ask
his way, for all the signboards had
been dofaccd in order to give tho oc-
possible. A courteous rosponso in
variably was given to questions but
evidently through fear and not friend

MARES ATTACK
01 PRESIDENT
WASHINGTON, Dec. I Creation of
a loaguo of nations to maintain peace
not a super-government to dominato
and interfere with nations' internal af
fairs but" a world tribunal for arbitra
tion of international disputes was ad
vocated by Senator Kellogg, of Min
nesota, Republican, in an address to
day in the senate.
In tho course of his remarks Sen
ator Kellogg expressed regret at what
he characterized as the lack of dispo
sition of President Wilson to deal moro
frankly with the peoplo and the senate
regarding his views on problems com
ing before tho pence conference.
"I believe the time has come," ho
said, "to try to establish a league to
prevent war and enforce peace which
may not be entirely preventive, but,
backed by a world public sontlment,
will have a tremendous influence to
ward maintaining just and equitable
relations between nations and prevent
ing the horrors of war.
"No league of nations can succeed
unless it Is originated in and sustained
by an honest public sentiment of the
peoples Involved and unless the gov
ernments Joining in such a league are
responsive to tho people The condi-
ASTORIA-

tlons exist today to a greater extent
than over before."
Turning to concrete plans for a
league 61 nations, Senator Kellogg said
unless Germany evolves a government
responsive to popular will and with a
people having ideals and aspirations
different from those of the past regi
me, there must be a league of nations
to "see that Germany is rendered pow
erless to renew the contest."
Another important step. Senator
Kellogg said. Is abolition of the sys
tem of secret treaties and alliances.
The new treaties, he said, should bo
"made in the open."
TOMATOES AfiE BEING
RUSHED TO ARMY
A telegram was received yesterday
from Washing! on by the Utah Packing
Corporation saying "shipment on to
matoes should be rushed with all pos
sible speed," and orders for 101,902
case? of Utah tomatoes have been re
ceived for shipment overseas.
According to A. J. Hall, manager
of the corporation, "the order very
clearly shows that the United .Slates
army will take the entire quota of 15
per cent of the Utah canneries pack."
President Herrington of the Utah
Canning company says that nearly tho
entire 45 per cent of that company's
order has already been shipped, the
balance will bo ready for export in a
few days.

UGATI COURSE
AT LOGAN COLLEGE
A detailed description of tho subject
matter to bo covered in the Irrigation
management course that will bo of
fered at tho Utah Agricultural College
during tho two weeks following Feb
ruary 10, 1919, hns just been prepnred
by Professors Isrnolson and Winsor,
who will havo direction of the course,
and Is being mailed to all asking for it.
This description outlines tho general
topics to bo discussed as follows: (1)
Water measurement, (2) capacities of
different soils to absorb and retain
water, (3) Irrigation of porous upland
soils, (1) water requirements of dif
ferent crops, (5) preparation of land
for Irrigation, and (7) water right doc
trines and problems.
Of particular interest is ytho last
topic dealing with the logal phaso of
Irrigation practice. A clear under
standing concerning the many complex
problems presented by the present
Utah water legislation will be arrived
at and a constructive criticism offered
One important result that those giv
ing this course hope to accomplish is
the wide spread of rational ideas con
cerning irrigation practice which will
come from an intermingling and ex
change of views of men who have had
much practical irrigation experience.
ACCEPT BARUCH'S
! RESIGHATIOH FROM
THE IR BOARD
WASHINGTON. Dec. i. President
Wilson has accepted tho resignation
of Bernard M. Baruch as chairman of,
the war industries board, effective (
January 1. and has agreed that the
war industries board cease to exjst!
as a government agency on that date.!
In the correspondence made public!
today, the president expressed the
hope that Mr. Baruch would remain
in Washington so that the government
might continue to have the benefit of
his advice.
Mr. Baruch gave as his reason for
resigning the fact that with the sign
ing of tho armistice "and the conse
quent cancellation of contracts, there
i was no longer a shortage of materials
I and the war Industries board imme
diately removed its curtailments." In
I liko manner the necessity for maxi
1 mum prices is disappearing except in
a few isolated cases which can best
be regulated through the war trado
board."
Mr. Baruch said the facilities of the
board had been put at tho disposal
of tho various contracting agencies of
the government and that the activities
believed to bo of lasting value are
being transferred to permanent de
partments of the government whero
they may bo carried forward.
