GERMANS BELIZE ED SENDING;
TROOPS TO HE'LL, AIrSTRIN\S

London, England Although the
French are conducting a sustained
and somewhat formidable offensive
between the Mense and Moselle in
effort to dislodge the Germans from
St. Mihiel, the southernmost point of
their line, the demeanor of the allied
armies as whole indicates the dis
position to await the outcome or
Russia's gigantic plan to force the
Carpathian barrier.
Germany is thought to be pouring
troops into Hungary, even to the eN-
tent of weakening her forces in Elan
ders and tonight's Austrian official
communication notes the presence
and recounts the success of German
and Austrian troops in the Laborcza
valley.
There is less talk in England of the
spring advance of the allies in France
and Belgium and an increasing APP
probation of the task Russia is at
tempting This leads to the belief
in some quarters that the leaders of
the allied armies in the west, reck-
oning on the heavy cost incident to
smashing the German line there. may
perhaps seek only to hold their
ground in the belief that the Rus
slams will succeed in invading Hun
gary. ultimately to join hands with
the allied forces working northward
through Serbia.
Thus, what their opponents regard
as the weakest of the Teutonic al
lies, Austro-11ungary. would be in
vaded without the loss of life that an
attempt to drive the Germans from
France and Belgium would entail

Sons ofAmerican
Revolution Meet
At Portland, Ore,

Portland. Ore, July 19-The high
cost Of warning, when the campaigns
Of Washington are compared to the
European conflict, was emphasized in
the report Of the registrar general Of
the Sons Of the American Revolution
at the first days session Of the So
ciety's 26th annual convention here.
Thomas Jefferson, he said, reviewing
the finances Of the revolution, esti-
mated the cost Of the war at an aver
age Of $17,500,00O a year. That sum
now Is scarcely more than Great
Britain's war cost for single day.
The total cost Of the REVOLUTIONARY
proximately $140.000,00o covering a
period Of eight years-is less than the
total cost Of the European war for a
month.
The committee on Information of
Aliens reported great activity during
the last year in promoting the educa-
ton Of the alien population to the adj
vantages Of American citizenship.
With various societies and municipali-
ties, the society has cooperated in es-
tablishing courses In civil government
and other subjects tending to the en-.
lightenment Of those Of foreign birth.
The committee pointed out that Of the
three million souls which peopled the
thirteen colonies, one fifth could not
speak English, one half was Of other
than Anglo-saxon descent, and even
now in some Of the states the proper
tion Of foreign born is as great as
thirty per cent.
Detailed efforts to educate aliens to
the allegiance and obligations OF
American citizenship were described.
Personal letters have been sent to
more than fifteen hundred judges Of
federal and states courts having 3uris-
diction over naturalization, urging
that the ceremony Of administering the
oath Of allegiance be made a solemn
and impressive one. It is suggested
that on such occasions the presiding
judge or some citizen Of high standing

women Will TAKE A PROMI.
NENT PART IN THE COMING
GRAND ARMY ENCAMPMEN1

(By Isabel Worrell Ball, Past National
Senior Vice President Womans Re-
lief Corps.)
Washington, July 19.-Women will
take a prominent part in the 10th an
nual encampment Of the Grand Army
Of the Republic. which will be held in
Washington September eth to Octo-
Der I'd.
Four organizations Of women allied
with the Grand Army of the Republic
will participate in the encampment.
These are the Woman's Relief Corps,
the Auxiliary to the Sons of Veterans,
the Ladies Of the G. A. r., and the
Daughters Of Veterans. Many thou
sands Of members of the four organi-
cations will be in Washington during
the encampment and the Grand Re-
view. which is to reproduce. as far as
possible, the review Of union troops in
Wa shington by President Johnson and
General Grant fifty years ago at the
close Of the Civil War.
OF the organizations of women con-
nected with the Grand Army the larg-
est and most important is the Wo-
mans Relief Corps.
The Woman's Relief Corps is auxil-
iary to the Grand Army Of the Repub-
lie, and its only auxiliary. The La
dies of the G. A. r. and the Daughters
Of Veterans are Independent bodies,
auxiliary to no organization.
The Woman's Relief Corps is the
largest organization Of women in the
world under one eligibility clause. and
one motto. It now SAUNDERS $4,000,
with Department organizations in Al
states, divided among 2601 Corps. as
the local organizations are known. Be-
sides these there are 81 detached
Corps, which thrive in 10 Southern
and two Western sttaes where there
are no department organizations.
The Woman's Relief Corps is the
greatest philanthropic. charitable and
patriotic organization of women in the
world.
1t was organized at Denver, Col. in
1883. In response to the call of the
veterans for the organization of wo-
men that would be auxiliary to them
and which would meet with them at
national encampments, and assist
them in the tremendous work which
was becoming burdensome to the
Grand Army. that of helping to care
for the aged veterans and their de-

IMPORTANT POINTS
IN Law COURT CASE

At the law court Saturday morn
ing the case Of Nelson, administrator,
aginst Burnham & Morrill, Company
was argued.
This Is the case where the Nelson
boy. aged II years was killed while
riding on an elevator in the Burnham
& Morrill, Co.'S factory in January
1914. The administrator, his father.
brought suit under a Maine statute
which gives right of action in dam
ages up to $4,000, for instantaneous
death.
The plaintiffs contention was that
the Nelson hoy was on the premises
Of the defendant by the license and
permission Of the defendant having
been attracted there by the elevator
and machinery of the defendant COM
pany.

or not the rule of law, that a property
