M. U. CLUB IN FRANCE
Duke Parry, B.J. '17, Writes
That Twenty Alumni Are
in One Place.
PLAN TIGER DINNER
Sees Clinton Collins, "Bobby"
Hogg and "Bobby" Lake
nan on Furloughs.
m.. fniinwlne is Dart ot a letter
from Duke Parry, a graduate of the
School of Journalism, now with
Base Hospital Unit. No. 2S. Limoges,
France, to the Missourian:
We are beginning to settle down
here and things have gotten so com
mon to us that even champagne at a
couple of dollars a quart fails to at
tract the Missouri Club's attention.
On the night of the big game we are
planning a Missouri banquet, and I
hope to get Clint Collins or one of
the older Tigers down for the occa
sion. I don't believe there's any place
In France where there's any more of
us in one place, and we have already
established the Missouri University
Club of France here. All old Mis
souri men in actual service are urgeu
to drop down here when furloughs al
low It and they will find about twen
ty Missouri I'niversity alumni raring
to show them the keys to the city.
"Clint Collins was down several
mh .-urn and while he was here
Lieutenant -Bobby' Hogg was brought
here wounded in the hip.
Of course, you remember our Tiger
diamond hero. 'Bobby Hogg, with the
never-wear-off smile? Well, he was
wounded while trying to carry one
of his own men to a dugout. He him
self was safe, but returned to get
this fellow when a stray shell hit
him in the hip. He was all fixed up
here though and is back with his com--mand
now.
Lieutenant 'Bobby Lakenan, Tiger
cheer leader in 1912, was also here
with us on a short leave.
-We are going to send you some
Missouri Club pictures and we are
wondering if you could help us out
on a cable of the results of the Missouri-Kansas
game. We want the
fastest rate possible. You can't im
agine how the old school calls over
here". Tell Schulte we' are all depend
ing on him.
"I'll enclose a poem, either for the
waste basket or for your esteemed
paper. But remember, I was sick
when I wrote it. As for the senti
mentwell. It is all straight truth:
"A WORD FROM OLD MISSOU"
"There's a bunch in France today
Over where the big guns play
And the khaki lads make music with
repeaters,
Likes to hear from you and you
And the news from dear old Broad
way to the bleachers.
"When back behind the lines
On a furlough often times
Or stationed there by orders from
headquarters
We will talk of Old Missou
And we'll wonder what is new
We will. talk ot college exploits
and exploiters.
"A Missourian arrives
Joy to several young lives
For it's filled chuck full ot all the
best excitement:
Men of politics are rushed
Crops aro good and crooks non
plussed And our Doctor Hill still points out
youth's enlightenment.
"For the town in good old Boone
We can see it none too soon
With its throb and pulsing life yet
still a welcome.
France has heard of Old Missou
She'll hear more before we're
through
It's a place we're proud to tell 'em
that we hail from."

THE EYEXIXG HISSOURLIX, WED
MISSOURI BOYS ESCAPE
CAPTURE BY GERMANS
Missouri is not only keeping a care
ful record, collecting and preserving
literature and statistical data relating
to the state's part in the present war
but is publishing this war history as
it is being made. For the next issue
of the Missouri Historical Review
which will be Issued earljr In Novem
ber, Floyd C. Shoemaker.'editor of the
Missouri Historical Review has com
piled statistics which reveal that up
to September 1 the total casualties
among the soldiers of the state were
593. The absence of data of this kind
from other states make it impossible
to make comparisons.
One hundred and thirty-three Mis
souri men have been killed in action.
One hundred and twenty-five soldiers
have died ot wounds and other causes
and 270 have been wounded in France.
Of the total casualties In France 4S
per cent are deaths. 51 per cent are
wounded and 1 per cent are known
prisoners.
"It would be Impossible in seven
teen months of warfare such as has
been waged since April. 1917," says
Mr. Shoemaker, "to have lost no men
as prisoners of war. A wounded man
can be taken prisoner without cen
sure, and thousands of England anil
France's bravest men have been forced
to surrender. Certainly, however, the
hundreds and thousands of Missou
rians at the front have kept this part
of the casualty list at a minimum. The
total known is only six."
Missouri's total casualty list is 593
classified as follows:
Killed In Action in France 133
Died of Wounds in France - 45
Died of Disease in France - 41
Died of Accidents, etc. - 10
Missing In Action In France 26
Prisoners in Germany ..., 6
Wounded in France ... 270
Died in Camps and Hospitals in
the United States 35
Killed, Wounded and Missing at
Sea 22
Unclassified 2
Thirty-nine Missouri soldiers now
wear the war cross of France, Italy,
England and the United States. To
these countries might be added Rus
sia and Roumania; for General Persh
ing wears the war cross of Belgium
and Lieutenant W. B. Hall of Higgins
ville. Mo., has been decorated with
the Russian, Roumanian and French
cross. Besides these, thirty men have
been cited for bravery or recommended
for honors.
The official figures on Missouri and
the Third Liberty Loan are full of In
teresting data. Missouri has two Fed
eral Reserve Banks, but for the sta
tisticians and historians it is contus
ing since Missouri is thereby placed in
two districts in all Liberty Loan

drives. The two districts do not pre
sent their data and figures in the same
manner. Ninety-five Missouri coun
ties and the City of St. Louis lie in
the Eighth Federal Reserve District
with headquarters at St. Louis; the
remaining nineteen Missouri counties
along tho western border lie in the
Tenth Federal Reserve District with
headquarters at Kansas City. Both
districts give quota and subscriptions
figures, but the Eighth also gives num
ber of subscriptions. The following
statements are based on the published
reports ot those two districts and the
United States Census of 1910.
Missouri's total quota was $79,599,
700, her actual subscription was $110,
S2S.300, or 152 per cent of her quota.
Missouri's per capita quota was $21;
her per capita subscription was $33j.
St, Louis and Kansas City sub
scribed $59,771,030, or 54 per cent of
Missouri's total subscription. The per
capita subscription in St. Louis was
$G3, in Kansas City $C1, and Misouri
outside these two cities, it was $22.
St. Louis was the first city in the
Nation with a population of over 500,
000 to oversubscribe its quota and win
the honor flag, St. Louis went over
the top of its quota at 4:30 p. m.. May
2, 1918.
Missouri is reported to have been
the second state in the Union to win
the honor flag. Missouri is also re
ported to have made the best record
in the United States as to per capita
distribution of the Third Loan.
All Missouii counties subscribed
more than their quota.
Twenty-eight Missouri counties, or
one-fourth of all, subscribed 200 per
cent or over their quota. Of these
twenty-eight counties, not one con
tained a city of ten thousand popula
tion in 1910, and eight were Ozark
counties with comparatively sparse
populations and little accumulat
ed wealth . The largest of these
twenty-eight counties was St.
Charles with a population of 35.73S;
the smallest was Carter with 5,504.
The three banner counties In Mis
souri with a subscription quota of over
300 per cent were; St. Francois, 301
per cent; Saline, 31C per cent, and
Shannon, 31G per cent.
The per capita subscription ot Mis
souri counties based on population
varied from $4 in Douglass to $G5 in
the City of St. Louis. The per capita
subscription in Jackson County in
cluding Kansas City was $56, exclud
ing Kansas City, it was $21.
The banner county in per capita
subscriptions (excluding Jackson
county) was St. Charles county with
its $45 for each man, woman and
child. Next came Atchison and Holt,
each $40.
