Washington, Feb. 29.-The
campaign for national prepared
mes will enter on a new phase
in congress next week, when in
all probability bills providing
for increasing the army to an
extent never before contemplat-
ed in time Of peace will be in
troduced in both the house and
senate.
The house military commit
tee will begin tomorrow its final
review OF the measure tentatively
agreed upon last week and
which it is stated will be altered
only in minor details before it is
favorably reported. The final
vote probably will be taken
Thursday but it will require
several days for Chairman Hay

Former Pastor is Called
to Pulpit Of West
minister Church.

Westminster Presbyterian
congregation, which has been
without a pastor in 81 Paso,
since the resignation of Rev.
John f. Abbott, shortly before
Christmas, has extended a call
to Rev. Watson M. Farley Of
Fayetteville, N. c.
Mr.. Farley was pastor Of
Westminster church II years
ago, serving for a year and re-
signing to 60 to then larger
field. He is remembered by
many of the congregation as a
remarkably forceful speaker and
earnest worker.
The offer Of the pastorate Of
Westminster was sent to Mr..
Farley by telegraph. and was
followed by formal call by
mail. The officers Of the church
expect to receive his reply with
in a few days.
Since the departure Of Rev.
John 3. Abbott, former pastor
of Westminster, for Missouri,

pulpit Of the church has been
filled by chaplain John T. Ex-
ton, Of the Twentieth y. S in

atively few of US appreciate their
great economic value. Crops,
fruit and trees are constantly
preyed upon by insects. In the
United States insects cause loss
to agriculture OF more than half
a billion Of dollars each year.
Birds more than any other
agency hold these pests in
check.
The foundation for the set
ting of the bird question lies in
education. Legislation is hard
to get; even the best laws are in
constant danger Of being re-
peald, and even the enforcement
Of laws in uncertain. With edu-
cation comes the appreciation Of
the value Of birds, and the pro-
blems is solved.
Considering the attitude Of
the General Federation Of Wom-
ems Club concerning birds, it is
inconsistent for any Of the mil
lion women Of the Federation to
wear feathers, with the excep-
ton Of ostrich feathers; but it is
even more inconsistent for mem
bers of Conservation Committee
who are working for the protec-
ton of birds to wear them.
Think of the inspiration it would
be to the women Of America if
the two million women Of the
General Federation refused to
wear hats trimed with feathers.
Every States should have its
birds preserves and all parks
shoul-. be make bird and will
flowers preserves. We must urge
property owners to post their
lands and prohibit shooting.
Encourge the construction Of
bird houses in all manual train
ing classes in schools and you
have done a great benefit TO
agriculture.

German officer Turns Pts
toll on Self and Ends
Own Life Quickly.
Story First Published in a
French Paper but Not
Vouched for BY It.

London, Eng, Feb. 26.-A
highly sensational story has
reached London from France a
circunstantial account Of an at
tempt by a German general to
assassinate the kaiser. This ac-
count is printed in the "Alsa-
cien-Lorrain de Paris" which
does not vouch for the truth Of
the story.
The following is a translation
Of part Of that article:
"A compatriot who had been
expelled from Alsace took refuge
in the south Of France. He has
just received a letter from . re-
lative in Alsate, who declares
thar 10 precise fact, has ever
transpired as to the exact nature
Of the malady from which Will
liam II is said TO be suffering.
REMAINS OUT OF SIGHT.
However, this may be, it is
quite sure that, reports to the
contrary Notwithstanding, the.
kaiser has not been seen at any
front but has remained indoors
for some weeks past. Neither
cancer nor any other malady is
accountable for this compulsory
retirement on the part Of the
Prussian monarch.
ATTEMPT MADE BEFORE
CHRISTMAS.
"As a simple matter OF fact,
the kaiser was the victim Of an
attempt made upon his august
person just before Christmas by
German general, who, as the
result of a violent dispute with
his sovereign, fired his revolver
at the emperor and then turned
the weapon against himself with
deadly effect. This story is at
any rate generally accepted in
Germany as a true story.
"The ball is said to have en-
tered his majesty's neck, which
explains the hypothesis Of an
operation for cancer.''
