every woman. 1.-The House Beautiful
Mrs. Josephine Austin led the meet

pieces in Julesburg.
Mrs Flora S. Duffield had sub
ject which she. OF all MEMBERS Of the
club. seemed the most able to discuss,
"The House Beautiful"
She took up the interior decoration
of the small house and bungalow, and
when her paper was completed each
member secretly wished that she might
have new bungalow furnished ac-
cording to Mrs. Duftield's suggestions.
Following this the roll was called.
each member responding by telling
something which had helped to make
her own work brighter. Many new
Ideas were given and the troubles of
many were solved.
Mrs. Anna Heb then told of the
homes and customs of Ceylon. Mrs.
Heb has the happy gift of telling only
the things which are interesting. She
told of the arrangement of the houses.
the meal times, and what they had to
eat. OF the queer customs of the natives
especially their marriage and funeral
customs. One very amusing incident
was related which may bear repeating.
The natives of Ceylon are very grac-
fous toward new comers and after the
Hiebs had established home in Cey-
Ion. native, who taught in the schools

Carlson's Confab Saves Taxpayers Nice
Little Sum
A conference held yesterday between
Governor Carlson and the heads of diff
ferent state departments saved Colora-
do s14,633.
II am more than pleased with the
ready response the state officers and
department heads gave to my request
for general cut in expenses" said
Governor Carlson last night II hope
they may be given full credit for the
manner in which they have met the sit
uation. And especially wish to give
credit to W. B. Fraser, fish and game
commissioner. who has materially aid
ed us in our effort to reduce expenses
to the minimum"
The cut of $14,63S is made in the
short apRTopriation bill finally passed
by the assembly Friday afternoon. The
total amount provided for in the meas
ure was about 100000. Under the law
the governor is the final arbiter of the
expense accounts of the different de-
partment heads and state officers. 1t
is yet question as to whether the
legislature must formally approve of
the changes lie has made in the bill
Attorney General Farrer having that
point under consideration.
Inasmuch as the reductions0oted were
made after Governor Carlson personal
ly had interviewed the heads of the
different departments, it is foregonc
conclusion that if the short appro-
priation bill as amended by him has
again to be referred to the senate and
the house, it will be approved by both
bodies.
How much can you cut with out
Gripping your department"
This was the question the chief exc
cutive asked of each of a score of de-
partment and bureau heads yesterday
when they answered summons to ap-
pear before him.
ut was agreeably surprising how
each and everyone of them co-operat-
ed in making the needed reductions"
said the governor. II endeavored to
make 1t plain that no department is to
be crippled by reason of any cut in
the appropriation, and that my purpose
is only to lop off every dollar that can
by economical means be saved. They
responded in most satisfactory way"
1t was the original intention of the
administration to cut off considerable
number of employees in various depart
ments. 1t was later decided that the
better plan would be to allow the pres
ent deputies and clerks slated for re-
moval to retain their positions until
the end of the first quarter of the pres
ent year. The way will then be opened
to drop them without legal proceedings
looming up to harass the administra-
ton.
Edwin V. Brake. deputy labor COM
missioner. appointed by James B.
Pearce. is supposed to hold his office
until April l. A number of other Dem
ocratic office-holders are supposed to
hold on until that date. To remove
them now might precipitate long
drawn out law suit A week from now
after full Investigation has been
made of the conduct of the different
offices involved, the way may be open
ed for declaring number of vacan-
cies.
The short appropriation bill provides
salaries for the term of four months
ending April l. of each of the depart
ment heads and employees. If way
Is found to get rid of any of them in
the meantime, the money so set aside
will rever. back to the general fund

KILL TIE WOUNDED. IS ORDER OF GERMAN GENERAL IN REPORT
Report of Investigation Brings Out Many New Phases of the Alleged
 Barbarism of Teut0ns

Paris August 2.-d1 55 a. m.)-Evi- dence supporting charges of alleged cruel and inhuman acts on the part of German soldiers is contained in the final report of the investigation of the commission presided over by George Pavello, president of the French court of accounts.
 This report gives in detail the evidence gathered concerning the use by German troops of military and civilian prisoners as shields against the fire of French troops and the employment of cartridges in which the bullets were reversed in or der to cause more serious wounds; split bullets. and other bullets cut to make them more rending
 The report cites orders given by General Stenger, commander of the Fiftyeight German brigade. directing his soldiers to
 kill the wounded enemy and to take no more prisoners. Evidence confirming this order was obtained from German prisoners
 of the One Hundred Twelfth and one Hundred and Forty-second regiments. The report contains also evidence of the mas sacre of French soldiers as a result of this order as well as the massacre of
 wounded men after the battle of Fethe in Belgium. It represents the allegations Of many individual soldiers who declare they saw their wounded comrades put to death by rife shot, a revolver shot, the thrust of a bayonet, or a blow from the butt of a musket by German soldiers, subaltern or commanding officer. The alleged inhumanity of the Ger
 mans to their prisoners of war" the
 report says, lis proved by the evidence
 of the victims
 I,,. ,.ic ,.l,& while the skulls of others weres crushed | by blows from the butt of musl>et, At St. Die, 30 French prisoners were assas- sinated in this manner by Bavarian l troops. The truth of this is vouched for 1 in confidence by five men who, more
 over, witnessed the executions. Other
 witnesses declared that they had found the seven dead bodies of French pa trol, an infantry corporal and six privates. with their hands tied behind their backs and dead from rifle shots. This incident was further supported by evidence taken
 before a justice of the peace,
 The report concludes with three columns
 of evidence to prove the hombardng of
 ambulanees by the Germans the firing upon stretcher bearers and the taking
 prisoner of surgeons In some cases, 1t
 is said French surgeons were arrested by be lnterned.
 Several cases set forth are cited in which German wounded succored by l F'renchmen, are alleged to have killed
 those going to their relief.

 J. B. Cassels. district manager of the Southern Bell Telephone company, with offices at Decatur, has just returned from a trip over Winston county. He says that the farmers of that county have the best crops in many years: that the corn is especially good in that county. He says the farmers of Winston county are not worrying over the low price of cotton, as they have plenty of meat and
 
 kinds at home to eat and some to sell He says the farmers of that county, as general thing, are practicing diversi- fled farming.
 MT. Cassels reports that farmers tele- phone exchange. with 151 subscribers, had been established at Rogersville and that this exchange has connection with the ex- change at Athens. He says that the mer- chants and business men of Athens do- mated most literally to the establishment of the Rogersville exchange, thus show ing the cooperation in that section among the merchants and the farmers.
 MT. Cassels also stated that his company had just established an exchange at Lola, in Limestone, county, with 50 telephones He is now working on farmers lines out of the two Decaturs, and is meeting with much encouragement.

ment of commerce through his subordi- nates makes q report which year ago st this time. would have been deemed Impossible. The report shows that the money value Of our oversea trade for the fiscal year just ended was slightly under A,45O' '0G00o0. These figures surpass any earlier record. It was in 1913 that the experts discovered in the figures of our international de good evidence that we were rapidly approaching the record made by Great Britain.
 The Reason for It
 In July of last year the expectation was commonly held that our exports in the fiscal year which began with that month would fall off greatly while the money value of the imports would be likely to exceed any previous record. The reverse of this has taken place. The money value Of cur exports is in round numbers S2 TO- oOo,o00 and that is an increase of a little over $S00000,000 in comparison with the best previous record we have made. On the other hand, the money value of our imports was, again using round numbers. $i,e75,0 ,000,0O0. The year before the mosey value of imports was nearly $22lO00. GOO larger than the figures for this year and nearly $140,000000 greater than the figures fer 1913. Of course, this swift and very great change is explained chiefly by the war orders which have come from Europe and by the demands made upon the United States for commodities by some of the neutral nations. The figures as a whole will probably be found to be equal approximately to the record made by Great Britain in her international trade in the 12 months ending June 30. We shall be able to congratulate ourselves that at last we have reached and probably passed Great Britain in international trade. But after all the chief question which arises from the consideration of the subject is this: Shall we be able to maintain this pre-eminence after the war is over?
 Another feature of the report made by Secretary Redfield is one in which he must take some pleasure, for it yerifies the prediction he made sometime ago. He was quoted as having said in the early spring that the apparent or visible trade balance in favor of the United States for the fiscal year of 1915 would be some what in excess of $1,000 900, GOO. It was nearly Si0o000,00o in excess of s1,OO0, 600, 900. In another department of the govern ment there may be less qualification in the reading of these figures than is felt in
