"a part of the personal service
feature of the United Charities is its
reference of cases to the county
agent of Cook county, the report
continues.
Knowing full well the county
agent is restricted in his method of
relief and whom to relieve, the United
Charities tries to get rid of cases and
passes them along to him."
The summary of relief by Cook
county agent on the reference Of the
United Charities in period of one
year showed a total of LBS applica-
tons referred; 1,036 given relief and
159 rejected.
The report, summarizing the enor-
nous expense of administering char
ity by organized charity makes this
statement as the strongest argument
against charity thus administered.
"Our attitude throughout our in
vestigations had been against exces-
sive expenditures by charity organi-
cations for salaries, rent, etc. This
attitude was not an arbitrary one, but
was created through a series of in
vestigations that show conclusively
that, while an enormous amount of
money was collected by charitable or
ganizations, a totally Inadequate
amount was left after expenses were
deducted to be distributed for chart
table purposes. This attitude is not
changeable. Accordingly, the chart
table organizations that meet our
hearty disapproval in this respect are:

HOBBS COMBINE TO START
HOTEL DE GINK
Jeff Davis, hobo king, and the rep
resentative of James Eads How,
millionaire hobo, have formed spe-
cial Chicago coalition.
Jeff came to Chicago weeks ago
to found Hotel de Gink to care for
unemployed. How came a week
later. How started a Hoboes' Home,
10 Congress st. Some of the hoboes
complained of the service.
jeff, who spent a bunch of coin on
a Thanksgiving dinner for the no.
boes and who has been caring for as
many as 80 a night at his lodging
house, went to the Hoboes' Home to
investigate the kicks. There he met
Manager CruZe, How's representa-
tive. The two agreed in everything.
The result, it is understood, is that
jeff will become sort of an advisory
minister to the hotel.
The advent of Jeff into say Of
the running of the Hoboes' Home
will probably mean the installation of
features that made the Hotel de Gink
so popular in New York with the
boes last winter. Already plans are
completed for the starting of tailor,
barber and shoe repair shops in the
home, where the hoboes will do their
own work. The Commonwealth
Edison has promised jeff to wire the
building for electric lights.

"FIFTY YEARS
FROM APPOMATTOX'
TWenty-Fiftf Annual Reunion United
Confederate Veterans at Rich
mond June to 3.

Richmond, May 1.-THE second
week in May finds plans for the twen-
ty-eig:th annual reunion of the United
Confederate Veterans, scheduled to be
held in Richmond June 1, 2 and 9, all
but whipped into perfect shape. Work
of preparing for the handling of the
reunion and the vast crowds u1at are
expected to attend has been so thor
oughly distributed by the committee
syste employed that Richmond will
be ready to receive the visitors weeks
before the actual opening date.
Tie 1915 reunion, which comes fifty
years after the fall of Richmond
and the end of the War Between the
States, is expected to be of the utmost
significance and solemnity. To Rich
mond in June will come the greatest
gathering of survivors of tie Confed-
crate arms that has perhaps ever been
seen. With them will come thousands
of visitors, relatives and curiosity
seekers, who will find much OF inter-
est during tie week to repay them for
the trip.
Acceptances from many Southern
governors of the invitation to attend
the reunion as the guests of the Con-
federates have been received. The
presence of so many State executives
will lend much to tie Importance of
the occasion. President Wilson's re-
ply to the invitation of the general
committee is still in allegiance That
he also will attend is the expectation
of those in charge of tie reunion.
Richmond, almost to the last man,
is animated with the desire to make
the twenty-ffth reunion the greatest
federates. For one week the great
event in the memory of the old Con-
city will be turned over to the visitors
in strict truth. Each person seems
determined that business and private
affairs are to give place to the greater
duty of entertaining the reunion.
Great plans I5ave been made for the
decoration of the city and of the court
of honor, in particular. The court of
honor is to be located at Lee Circle,
in Monument avenue, a situation ideal
ly suited to such purpose. Brick
and mortar in all Richmond is to be
covered with flags and bunting during
the first week In June and the city
will indeed present beautiful ap-
pearance.

LOVE YOUR WIFE.

If you love your wife let Ter know it
now and then by acts and words OF
praise and kindness. Don't wait until
she is sick or dying to bring the TACT
to her notice If your wife has an in
strument ask ner to play for you some
times, and sit by and turn. the leaves,
and when finished thank her. You
were not backward to confess your
love once. You did not think it silly
or sensual to do so then. Why should
it be so now? Go home some times
and press kiss upon ner lips as ten
derly as you were wont to do in your
lover days, and see if the tellta1e blood
don't rush to her cheeks and happy
tears to her eyes. We wonder row
many wives there are in our land today
that have not heard their husbands say
for score of years, "I love you Oh,
we know there are some that hunger
and thirst for love tokens. Husbands,
if yor have happy home Keep the
Foundation of your love pure and sweet.
She left all to join her DESTINY with
yours, to make your hcme happy and
meet your wishes. So treat your wife
with TIE tenderness yon Were wont to

Maybe she is weaving ous her lie to
make your Gome coZy AMI comfortable
and pleasant for yor. Let her knew
sometimes you appc=c;a:e her services.
Think Of the ma l:y tenderness that in
youth gaic4l h:r affec&lo1s. ilrr
charms may not be SO great as then,
but remember the thousand acts of
kindness that ought to have strength
ened your friendship. A true wife
wishes to feel sure she is precious to
her husbend, not useful and conven-
lent, but dear. Your wife will stand
by you through storm and sunshine,
if you will let her. We say to you,
husbands, love your wives as you. do
yourself; continue thru life the same.
Take this as your part and do better.
Do not wait until too late. Give
kind words while they are here.

London. July N.-u1.3s A. M)).-The
magnitude Of the German enveloping
movement in the eastern field is absorb

General Won Buelow's 5000 cavalry have
turned southwark from Riga and are
within 50 miles OF the railway connecting
Petrograd with Warsaw.
In this way the northern German line
is closing in on the main northern rail-

the southern army similarly is approach
ing the main southern artery running to
Odessa.
Unparalleled in History
The Times declares human history can
show no parallel to the tremendous ex-
tent of this enveloping movement, which.
it says, involves results to Russia and
the western allies comparing with Rus
sia's resistance to a Mongol Evasion.

1t is now apparent that the Germans
are planning to envelope the entire Rus
sian army in this region. The newapa-
per points out that the fall of Warsaw
will have a grave significance for the
west as it will mean that Russia's lower

have been indefinitely postponed and
that the principal bases for offensive OPP
erations will be in the hands Of Germany.
Russian Resistance
Today's Petrograd official statement
saying that the Germans have been
thrown back at one point Of the Ma rev,
river brings some relief to London. as the
military observers here hold that the fl
