looked forward with much satisfaction to
quiet and restful summer For some years

member of the United States Senate since

committee Of the District of Columbia in
that body and was also a member of the
committees on appropriations, naval affairs
relations with Cuba, commerce, coast and
insular survey and corporations organized
in the District of Columbia. AS chairman
of the district committee. Senator Mcmillan
was identified with district affairs and be-
came very we'll known TO the citizens of
Washington, by whom he was highly re-
garded. He took a lively interest in the
welfare of the district and was one of
the foremost advocates in the efforts that
are being made for the improvement Of
the city.
Senator McMllan's family was prominent
in social circles in Washington and the
senator himself a member of the
Metropolitan and the Chevy Chase Clubs
If the family desires it, a congressional
committee from both houses of Congerss
will be appointed TO accompany the remains
10 their last resting place. The designa-
tions will be made by Senator FRYE the
president protein of the senate, who now
is in Maine, and by Speaker Henderson

SUBSCRIBERS ADVERTISING

The plan briefly suggested here is
practical one. Thousands of comrades will
patronize each other if they are shewn
the way. The only way is to advertise.
This is n good time for developing the
plan, because comrade may have ad
vertising without cost if ne will get up
club. For every dollar sent to the paper
as a club-raiser he may have 81 worth Of
advertising.
The price of this advertising has been
fixed at cents n word, which is n very
low rate. You reach a quarter-mllion
readers and will often get hundreds of re-
plies from a single ad.
All the world deals now through the
mails or by express or freight. Try it
yourself.
Write us the substance Of what you
want to say, and we will arrange it in the
fewest possible words.
Regimental historians and Secretaries
of Survivors Associations will find these
columns very useful.
An enterprising comrade who sees busi-
ness in this should send 50 at once for sub
scription coupons. This will get him
guesses in the next contest. enable him TO
yet 50 back from subscribers, and, under
present terms, give him So worth of ad-
vertising. Direct letter to Adv. Dept,

Great Britain DepeTuerce upon american
Fo d.
William II. Stead in the course of an
extended discussion Of the economic rcla
tions of Great Britain and the United
States, in Golfers Weekly, calls special
attention to the fact tiiat the former coun-
try cannot exist without bread and meat
from the latter. He says:
The first ana by far the greatest wea-
pon by which the Americans have made
The economic conquest Of the Old World
is in tine supply Of foodStuffs. The old
saying that it is i'll luck to look gift
horse in the mouth surely should be borne
IN mind by those who are fed from day
TO day by the produce of American
"heat-iields and the slaughter-yards of
Chicago.
With the exception Of the Russian Em-
uirc and Hungary, there is hardly a
.ountry in Europe which is capable of
feeding its own population with the pro-
duets Of its own fields. Lancashire has
hoastcd. and still boasts, of its achieve
ments in clothing the naked, but man
needs to fill his stomach even before he
lOthes his body, and the feeding Of the
hungry takes precedence, as an act of
,harity, of the clothing of the naked.
''Thc ingenuity Of American mechanism
and the skill of American engineers have
h"en employed for Il generation past in
reducing the bread bill Of the British
workingman. incidentally, this has
brought in its wake agricultural depres-

III IT is an evil thing to have chean

alternately filling the air with execra-
tons against the spcculator who had cut
of our supply of food from the United
States, or implorinG him for the love of
God to relax his interdict and allow our
people once more TO profit by drawing
supplies from the American store.
1T may be replied that if American
supplies were cut off there would be a
great revival of agricultural prosperity in
this country: but if the price of the quar-
tern loaf were doubled and quadrupled
we should not be able to supply sufficient
food to feed our population. We are alb
solutely spoon-fed from day to day by
the Americans.
Possibly in time TO come, from India.
from Australia and from Canada we may
hope to render ourselves independent of
