TREMENDOUS ARMIES FACING EACH OTHER ON THE
 FRONT LINE.

LONDON, May "A military ex- pert gave out some interesting fig ures lately in reference to the num- Der of men engaged in a death struggle at Verdun. This man says that Germany after an eight weeks assault on French defenses at Yer dun, has made an advance of but eight miles. Yet he says that it is evident that Germany will en- deavor to take that stronghold at all costs. On the other hand, the French are equally alive to their condition and have increased their forces to meet the exigency.
 It is reported that there are over 2,000,000 British soldiers in France today, although they are not all cn the western front service. AS q matter of fact, the most of them are held in reserve. France has near ly 3,000,000 soldiers at the front and in reserve. Belgium has ap- proximately 150,000 Besides these Russia las brought in nearly 20H,- 900 soldiers in support of tie al lie; Thus making a grand total Of approximately 5,500,00) men en- ragged ir the defense of the allies territory With that aggr seat:u.

ALL NEIGHB0Rs IN SCOTLAND.
(By Ian May.)


 Englishmen are fond of saying. with the satisfied air of men let ting off really excellent joke, that every one in Scotland knows every one else. As we study the morn ing's roll of honor, we realize that never was a more truthful jest ut tered There is not a name in the list of those who have died for Scotland which is not familiar to us. If we did not know the man too often the boy--himself, we knew his people, or at least where his home was.
 In England, if you live in Kent and you read that the Northumber- land fusiliers have been cut up, or the Duke of Cornwall's light in fantry badly knocked about, you merely sigh that so many good men should have fallen. Their names are glorious names, but they are only names. But never a Scot tish regiment comes under fire but the whole of Scotland feels it. Scotland is small enough to know all her sons by heart. You may live in Berwickshire, and the man who has died may have come from Skye, but his name is quite famil- far to you. Big England's sorrow is national; little Scotland's is per sonal.

(Published by request of the

Civic Club.)
 In Shinytown the people cling to their belief that ill the spring all men should rise, and clean up alley, yard and lawn, till every sign of trash is gone-which scheme is wise. In Shinytown they burn old hats. and sticks and rags and bones and cats and kindred trash; all labor for thepublic veal, with ffty-seven kinds of zeal, and not for cash. This town is in class alone; there flies and germs are quite unknown. year after year; no doctors joints therein are built, and all the fell diseases wilt, when they come near. As there are no diseases nigh, the people don't know how to die; death seems a joke; and some one has to shoot them down, when they are tired of Shinytown, and wish to croak The village used to have a hearse before it killed the microbe curse, long, long ago; but now. since microbes cause no fuss, they use it for a jitney bus-fve cents a throw. This is the village of de light, where all the folks are living right, a cheerful scene; your burg might be like Shinytown if all you men would buckle down and make it clean.-Waft Mason.

BIG BUILDING PROGRAM FOR
NAVY TO BE SPEEDILY SETTLED
ADJOURN AUGUST 20
Early Date Has Been Resolved on by
Senate Democrats-Arny Bill, Car
rying $82o,Ooo,ooo, VIII Also be
Ready for Conference This Week.

Washington, July 16.-Senate demo-
Gratis, having resolved on an adjourn
ment of congress by Aus. 20 if possi-
bic, work of speeding up the urgent
legislative program outlined by the
party caucus last night will begin in
earnest tomorrow.
When debate on the naval appro-
prlatiOn bill is resumed, democratic
leaders will seek to hold republicans
to their pledge of cooperation and
will urge their colleagues to limit de-
bate. The big building program prob
ably will be disposed of in two or
three days.
Following the naval bill comes the
army appropriation measure, carrying
approximately 100000, ,0O0. Leaders
now estimate that both of these ma
uOnaI defense bills can be sent to
conference by the end of the week.
The senate then will be ready to take
up the shipping bill, which promises
to develop the only serious opposition
confronting any of the legislation on
the administrations imperative pro-
gram.
IF we adhere to the action of last
nights democratic caucus" said Ma
jority Leader Kern today. Il can see
no reason why adjournment cannot be
taken by August 10"
The democratic steering committee
will NEE early this week and prob
ably will agree upon a program, in
Guiding consideration of the following
measures in the order named: Appro-
prl2tiOns shipping, revenue, work
mems compensation, corrupt practices,
Philippine self-government, Civil war
and Spanish war pensions and Inter
state Commerce Commission enlarge
ment bills. All of these have passed
the house.
The federal workmen's compensa-
ton bill, it was reported today, is to
be given precedence over child labor
and immigration bills because of the
keen interest President Wilson has
exhibited in it. In fact, last nights
caucus was informed that the presi-
dent had urgently requested it's pass

eight other members of his crew who
put off in a small boat but who could
not be found by the Jose. 1t is pos

NEW BATTLE CRUISERS
OUR FIRST NEED
They Come Before Dreadnoughts, in
Rear Admiral Knights Opinion.

Washington, July 16-In response to
a request by Secretary Daniels for an
opinion on what lessons might be
drawn for the naval expansion pro-
gramme from the Jutland battle be-
tween the British and German fleets,
Rear Admiral Knight of the naval war
college has replied that far from dis
crediting the battle cruiser, although
vessels of that typ bore the brunt of
the losses in the engagement, the
fight added a new area to the field of
usefulness of the fast fighters.
gramweetaohsy ton wi sthe time for
Battle Cruisers First.
The battle has not changed the ad-
miraIs opinion that dreadnoughts are,
and will continue to be- the backbone
of any fighting fleet, but it has caused
him to recommend that If congress
decides to add only four capital shis
to the first me al suOuld be battle
cruisers.
Changes in Naval Recommendations.
The admiral expressed the belief
that the battleship would continue to
be the backbone of every efficient
fighting fleet, but added that develop
ments in battleship design had been
so rapid that he was glad of an op-
pOrtunity to make a change in recon-
mendatiOns for naval building made
by him some months ago, the change
being that
If the number of capital ships TO be
provided for this year is four I re-
commend that all be battle cruisers.
If the number is six, I recommend
four battle cruisers and two dread
nOughts.
If the number is ten I recommend
six battle cruisers and four dread
noughts."
United States Navy's Need.
He pointed out the difference be-
small North Sea and those under
which the United States navy would
have to operate over a much larger
marine area against an enemy be-
yond the seas. He said that one re-
spect in which the navy as it exists
today is hampered or would be hamD-
cred, in the even of war, is that it has
no battle cruisers and no scout Cruis-
erS- In other words, we have no
means of gaining information as to
the location or the movement of an
enemy force or of denying to the en-
emy information as to our location or
movements. Our fleet if it We're sent

the chief and everv-
body under his command practically

that the very first thing that the
commander of an army or a feet
needs is information of the enemy, it's
where abouts, its movements. the CON
stitution of its force, and f possible,
information as to it's plans.
High Speed With Great Gun Power.
The letter sums up the value Of the
| battle cruised as follows:
They are ideal first, because their
| very high speed enables them to
search out an enemy force and get in
formation back with regard to that
force and second, because if they meet
an enemy force they have great pow
er Of resistance, if the force is one
which they can properly resist and
great power of avoidance if the force
which they meet is one which calls
for avoidance. The characteristic of a
battle cruiser is that it has very high
speed associated with very great gun
power ard especially very long range
gun power"

War Departments Sunday Order At.
fects $4,000 Still in Camps.

Washington, July 16.-The war de-
partment sent orders today to all de-
partment COmanders to delay trans
pOrtation to the border of nationa.
guard organizations now mobilizine
until they are thoroughly equipped and
organized. The order affects about
$4,000 men still in the camps.
About 10000 guardsmen now are at
the border. With the $4,000 regulars
there and $4,000 additional called as re-
serves, officials estimate there is suf-
icient force to cope with any present
emergency.
Published reports that use of a
general draft was being considered
to fill the national guard ranks were
denied by the department tonight.
Food Shortage Denied.
Reports that national guard units
are being supplied poor and insuff1c-
lent food are not borne out in pre-
liminary telegraphic reports received
from all the department commanders
today. These accounts uniformly de-
clared there is no food shortage among
the guardsmen and that all have been
supplied normal army rations of good
quality.
