general order Of Gen. Joffre, the
French chief, support

claim of the Germans that much Of the

by the retiring French soldiers them

Of the crown prince during the first
few weeks in French territory de-
clared that the French were their own

of this is one which is said to have
fallen into the hands of the German
soldiers in France 1t reads:

an unwonted rate.
The worst thing about the pest is
, that he isn't even a native of these

stopover for the moths is declared to
be Brownsville. Tex. where Mr.. Moth

Canvey Island, which is now aiming
to usurp some of the trade Of the
Thames by providing deep sea wharves
for the unloading of the worlds riches.

fashion. 1t provided jumping OF
place for Danish pirates. who boarded
up the stolen wealth of Essex until the
wind was favorable for a voyage home.
Canvey, should 1t ever become a great
entrepot, will probably lose one of its
distinctions. that Of having only one
church within its borders. Another dis
tinction is the possession of a house
that has no likeness anywhere else in
England. This is a six-sided Dutch

ParIey at White House Tonight
to Outline Democratic
Campaign.
SUBJECTS OF SPEECHES
ARE TO BE Determined
Burleson, Doremus, Pence and Tum-
ulty Will Give President Out
line of Political Situation.

Plans for the democratic congres
sional campaign this fail will be out
lined to President Wilson at a confer
ence at the White House tonight. al
which there will be present Postmas-
ter General Burleson, who is the pO-
Gtical general of the administration
Representative Doremus, chairman OF
the democratic congressional commit
tee: Thomas Pence of the democratic iC
national committee and Secretary Tum-
ulty.
The President has not had time te
confer on political matters up to this
time. and wants to know the outlines
of the democratic fight and the situa-
ton in the different states He has
talked at cabinet meetings with cabi-
net members who are to make speeches
this month, but has not gathered from
responsible officials the program of the
fight to be made by the party for the
retention of control of the House and
the election of as many democratic
senators as possible.
The Presidents advice will be sought
as to the line of speeches to be made
and the subjects to he emphasized to
the voters. The achievements of the
administration will be forced upon the
attention of the voters by all speakers.
but in different states stress will be
laid upon certain things.
Wilson to Write Letters.
The President himself is to hand a
big bouquet to the democrats of Con-
Eress who are candidates for re-elec-
tion by writing a letter strongly point
ing out their fidelity to duty, their
presence in Washington for practically
a year and a half without let-up. and
their earnest efforts to pass legislation
of benefit to- the masses of the people.
The enactment of beneficial legislation
without serious differences within the
party and the hearty cooperation of
the legislative and executive branches
of the government will be dwelt upon.
1t is candidly admitted by democrats
that the situation is not as good for
the party now as it was month ago,
but there is no division of opinion as
to the party being successful next
month. The only question now is as to
how large will be the democratic ma
jority in the next House and Senate.
The imposition of war taxes, owing to
the falling off in customs revenues,
will be seized upon by the republicans,
and the democrats will be charged with
having brought about this deficit by
passing a tariff bill that did not meet
conditions.
