That Marshalltown would be a desir-
able place for the Iowa encampment Of
the G. A. R. in June, 1915. is the opinion
of Mrs. Lillian Clark Carey, Of Du-
buaue, department president of the
Ladies of the G. A. r.. who is visiting
at the Iowa Soldiers Home in this city.
Mrs. Carey said that because of its
central location and good hotel facilities
this city would be well fitted to enter
tain the veterans at their annual meet
ing. The executive committee of the
G. A. r. will convene within few
weeks 10 decide on the city in which
the 1916 convention will be held, ac-
cording to advices received by Sidney
Johnson. secretary of the Marshalltown
Club.
At the recent encampment in Sioux

of Sioux City with Il portrait of Lincoln,
as is their custom in every city in
which the annual encampment is held.

listen to them. It's progress is evil !
dent, it's glory is known. Fine streets, |
lights and buildings attest the former |
sublime beauty and grandeur are
products Of the latter.
Warrenton has fully ten miles of
broad concrete sidewalks, it's macad-
am streets seem endless, and fine,
well-kept macadam roads lead into
it from every direction; it's lighting
system is municipality owned, is paid
for and yields a handsome profit; it
owns the Warrenton railroad, a three
mile line connecting the town with
the Seaboard main line, and gets q
big revenue from it's operation; it
owns an ice plant. which, also, yields
a profit; $4,000 of it's surplus is
loaned out at interest, it owes moth
ing and has the lowest tax rate ac-
credited to any town of its size in
North Carolina-35 cents on the 500
and it's commissioners are considering
a reduction to 25. There are three
| tobacco warehouses in WarrentOn,
one cotton factory, q box factory, one
| of the biggest cotton gins in the coun-
| try, and several smaller enterprises
! which give employment to hundreds
| of workmen. It's educational facili
| ties are excellent. Besides a finely
| equipped public school it has two
| private schools of national reputation,
| and there are upwards Of 800 visiting
| students enrolled there every year.
Warrenton's last and only bond is
| sue was for the construction Of its
| railroad. That issue was retired
several years ago. Its streets and its
lighting system were paid for out of
funds in it's treasury.
To Vote on Bond Issue.
Though the Warrenton district is
an unusually healthful locality and
it's natural drainage is perfect, there
is much talk among the townspeople
at present about the installation of a
sewerage and water system. Plans
for such a system have been drawn
up by Gilbert White. A $4,000 bond
issue for this purpose is to be voted
upon this month, and. while there is
little doubt that the measure Will be
carried, it's consummation will not
come without the overcoming of con-
!, siderable opposition. The older, more
| conservative element contends that
with perfect natural drainage, sewer
f age is not needed, and that no new
5 water system can offer any improve
ment over the present method en-

CAUSES MUCH SPECULATION
holIander Visits Washington in the
Interest Of Peace.

Washington. June s.-Van Ghell
Geldemeeser, son Of the religious ad-
wiser to Queen Wilhelmina of Holland,
has, by brief visit to Washington.
after conferences in Berlin with high
German officials, set in motion much
speculation in official and diplomatic
quarters here about the possibility of
peace in Europe.
Mr.. Geldemeester. it became known,
saw DR.. Won Jagow, the German for
eign secretary, and other members Of
the imperial ministry shortly after the
Lusitania was sunk and received GER
tain impressions concerning the Ger
man attitude toward the war and the
ultimate making Of peace. With the
knowledge, though not with the au-
thority of the German officials. he
started for Washington in the hope
that informally he could portray Ger
man feeling in official quarters.

SHORTAGE OF AMMUNITION
Had Much to Do With Recent Russian
Reverses.

aeverse0.
Washington, June S.-Reports from
various sources have convinced mill
tary experts of the truth Of claims
that recent Russian reverses have
been due in large measure to short
age of ammunition.
Until the harbor of Archangel was
opened by ice breakers late in May
Russia was without a port through
which ammunition could reach her
shores. Russian factories are limit
ed and unimportant, so the only ave
nue. through which munitions were
reaching the country in quantity was
the Transsiberian trailway.
Japanese ammunition factories sup
piled practically all their output to
the Russians early in the war, but the
disagreement between China and
Japan over the japanese demands and
the prospect of war in the Far East
caused Japan to hold its war supplies
in reserve temporarily, reducing traf-
fic in munitions over the Transsiberian
route to the products of American
factories reaching the Far East.

In the sector to the north of Arras

following up our progress. There has
been an artillery engagement of vio-
lent nature In the Fond de Buval, ut
Ablain, at Souchez, at Melville and

London, June S.-All the new minis
tiers of the British coalition cabinet
appeared on the front bench in the
house of commons. Premier Asquith
and the new secretary for the colo
MES, A. Bonar Law, and others were
cheered by the whole house when
they rose to answer questions.
Premier Asquith announced that
the response to Field Marshal Earl
Kitchener's appeal for 100000 recruits
had been satisfactory.
A full announcement Of the govern
ment's policy regarding recruiting
will be made later, the premier said.
Home Secretary Simon moved the
second reading of the bill establish
ing a ministry of munitions. He ex-
planned that the new department
would concern itself with the supply
of munitions, but that the fighting
departments would determine the ma
ture. extent and urgency Of their
needs. The home secretary said the
army wanted as many shells as organ
ICED industry was capable of produc-
ing and as quickly as possible.
The munitions bill evoked some op-
position. w. H. Pringle, Liberal mem
Der of the Northwest division of
Lanarkshire, advanced the argument
that the bill gave the new minister
unlimited power. He was virtually a
dictator and to supply munitions he
could, if necessary, take the most
radical steps in the coal fields.
Philip Snowden, Socialist member
for Blackburn, announced that if any
attempt were made to thrust forced
labor on the country, he would oppose
1t at every stage.
Will Crooks, the labor leader, in op-
posing the measure, said the house
could not make greater blunder
than to believe the country would
submit to conscript labor. Secretary
Simon replied that the bill had no
such aim. If such powers were de-
sired 1t would be necessary to ask the
consent of parliament.
Despite the opposition the house Of
commons gave a second reading to
the bill and then sent 1t to q COM
mittee OF the whole.
