of defense that will be formulated
 President Wilson has not indicated whether or not he will call congress in special session. That depends largely on developments in the inter, national situation. The dispatch to Germany of what is generally regar- ded as the strongest note yet writ ten to any of the European belliger- cnts accentuated the possibility of special session in the event that American rights are again violated by German submarine commanders.
 While there is widespread discus sion of the administration plans for the national defense, the prevailing interest is in the probable size of the appropriation to be asked Army and navy officers familiar with the latest developments are enthusiastic over the backing the president is giving the program as so far devel- oped. and the belief prevails that a military budget practically double that of last year will be presented.

LAss0cIATEn PREss nIsPATCHl

LONDON. July 24.-The Belgian army is going to don khaki uniform in the course of the next few weeks. The khaki is of grecnish shade and comes from the United States. Uniforms and caps for the men are now being dis patched to the front and the officers are being measured for their uniforms by the refugee staff of a big Antwerp tailoring shop.
 Another product in the Belgian fight ing line is the automobile truck, of which considerable deliveries have rec ently been made. according to a core spondent The trucks are of the heaV- jest and most durable type with the feature, somewhat novel on this side of the water. of steering and driving on all four wheels.
 The Belgian medical and surgical stores have just been replenished by large purchases in the United States and Japan More than 125.000 respira- tors of a simple type have been served out to the Belgian soldiers

One of the most difficult problems has been the prevention of the spread of disease. Notwithstanding stout resistance and innumerable subterfuges 10 avoid it, the authorities have forced 10000 of ! these civilians to submit to vaccina- ton against typhoid. Such systema- tic work has been done in this line that the typhoid has practically been conquered and the war time death rate kept down to the normal rate
 of peace time. in spite of such handi- caps as the scarcity of pure water. When the allies advance" as every
 Belgian expects them to do. the wa

Water lies only q yard below he surface in the lower part of Flanders and is all polluted The Belgian and English sanitary depart Inents, working together, have pre- ared means of analyzing the water SO that the presence of poisonous matter may be instantly detected
 For the supply of the army. well as for the civilian population, it is proposed to install large filters in oats which could follow the canals and from which water-tanks could take their supply and distribute it to the population. This formidable un- dertaking will require q vast organi- zation and a considerable outlay
 Monsieur Berryer has rendered probably the greatest service to hisI country in looking after the war babies Many of them born in a manager during the confusion of re- treat, are carefully sought out and placed where they may have every care. The little ones that have no controlling hand to keep them out of the streets are sent to the Belgian schools in France. and those of fam lilies along the battle front, where a stray shell is likely to fall. are no longer allowed to take the risks of their elders.

The Venetians have wisely taken measures to pro tect against the possibility of injury during the war the celebrated quad riga of SL Marks, and the horses have accordingly been brought down, with no little difficulty, it may be imagined. from their lofty position. and placed underground beyond the reach of either shells or bombs.

 We are fighting above a Greek cemetery of great antiquity and in digging our latest lines of trenches We found stone sarcophasi which are certainly more than 2000 years old probably nearer 250o years Ire walls are thick and the collins very big. They are filled with fine earth which has slowly irtruded through the cracks of the lid With great care we sift out from this the skele- ton, more or less preserved, and in the bottom we find vases, bowls. lamps. and sometimes statues.

RANGE LIFTED"
 |S PRODUCTIVE
Average Range Animal Now Can Live on Less Than Third the Acreage of II Years Ago-tfovelnment Tests Show Progress

That remarkable improvement can be noted in the ranges of Arizona is the statement of Wm Harper Dean in an Illustrated article on Arizona in recent issue of the Country Gentleman Harper makes the statement that the range is now at least three and a half times as prod uctive as it was eleven years ago.
 Exhaustive tests at the beginning of the governments work of lifting the ranges, showed that an acre of ordinary range grew under average conditions, 1869 pounds of vegetation Of this amount, but 176 pounds was edible by cattle.
 At that time, it took the product of thirty seven acres to sustain one range animal year. Now, the vegetable product of the range has been so built up that ten acres are sufficient to keep an animal a year
 The work was done largely through conservation, proper grazing and in some places the careful planting of proper range grasses. Fire preven- tion, another factor. has been looked after by the ranchers themselvs.

the war.
 Nearly 300, 900 shells were fired at the north of Arras on June r. This was almost as much as the whole fire of the German artillery in 1870. On the German side we used our ammunition more sparingly, because the American factories can not add to our supplies. How costly the bombardment of Arras was for the English may be gathered from the fact that the very smallest gun shoots a projectile costing at least $6.00."

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT
TO LOUIS PARIS
Local Physicians Do Fine
Work.

The ten year old son, Louis, Of
Mr.. and Mrs. T. N. Paris, a
Cobb county farmer located in
Ben Hill county, was kicked by
a mule Thursday, over the left
eye, breaking the skull and
crushing it into the brain. Drs.
R. M. and D. R. Ware, W. D.
Dorminey and E. j. Russell were
summoned and decided upon an
immediate operation, it being the
only chance to save the little fell
lows life. The physicians picked
the fragments of bone out of the
brain where they were imbedded
and filled the opening, which is
probably two inches long and an
inch wide, with celuloid. The
little sufferer stood the operation
manfullv, and the physicians re-
port him doing fine this morning,
having recovered consciousness,
and boy like, the desire to eat. The
operation is a very similar one
to the one recently performed on
Ralph Herring at an Atlanta
sanitarium and is a scientific
achievement for our local physi-
clans. DR.. R. M. Ware is in
charge of the case.
