We reachsd Ger. Miles In Porto Rico
by cable. and he was able through ths
military telegraph to stop his army on
the fring line with the message that the
United States and Spain had signed .

Tor old age and disability. That all I'M
people are participating In this grea
prosperity Is seen In every American com
nunity and shown BY the enormous ane
unprecedented deposits In our saving
Banks. Our duty Is the care ana securit,
