"UNRECoNsTRUcTED REBEL" IS FOUND IN
 MEXICO
(Birmingham Age.HeraldJ

Among the numerous problems with which the State Department is wrestling just is that of getting John Raymond out Of Mexico. Raymond ad mits that he has no legal standing as citizen any where on earth He Is man without country pos sibly the only "unreconstructed rebel who survives the Civil War He was Confederate soldier in Mary land regiment At the end Of the war he refused to take the oath of allegiance and moved to Mexico where he has resided ever since.
 Raymond is 79 eyars old now and almost destl- tute He was offered enough money by the Ameri- can consul at San Luis Potos to pay his travelling expenses to the border, but refused to accept aid from government which he has eternally foresworn.
 Living away from home so long has given Ray mOnd the wrong perspective With the possible ex. ception of himself the "unreconstructed rebel" is more. He should permit a kindly government to as- sist him in his need and back to the United States where the spectacle of Confederate veterans would do him a world of good and perhaps take some of the bitterness out of his heart.

Russian shells were dragged up to
the trenches and frantically unload

sawdust! Other shells were found
to be too large or too small to fit

Consequently, last winter, while
the whole allied world looked to
Russia to confirm her victories, she

STORY Of RUSSIA
AND HER FAILURE
To Meet Expectations In
Year 1915.
INTERNAL NATIONAL AFFAIRS
Gave Her Much Trouble In Her
Effort To Meet Wars
Obligations.
LITTLE JAPAN TO THE RESCUE

Russia has men enough. food
enough, holy zeal enough to con-
quer a world of enemies. Her prep
aration for her INVASION of TeutOn
lands was more deliberate and thor
! ough than is generally believed. In
her new COMMUNICATIVE Chief. Grand
Duke Nicholas, she possessed a mil
itary genius. Yet Russia failed,
could not help but fail; the bureau
cratic ban on enlightenment, the
wholesale piracy of public funds,
the blight of official immortality
all inevitable concomitants of gov
eminent by Observation-Disclosures
her industrial life-thereby causing
the shell shortage-ravaged her
splendid energy and rotted her very
vitals.
During the first months of the
war, three millions of our brown
coated peasants marched singing be-
meath the banners of God into hos
tile territory. AS each reviewing
General swept by them they saluted
briskly and eagerly chorused their
stirring. Glad to try. Your High
Born Excellency!" While the sup
ply of ammunition lasted they bat
tied gluriously in Galicia, Poland
and East Prussia. They overwhelm-
ed one of the most impregnable
forts in Europe; they drove hun
dreds of thousands of their enemy
before them. They were the only
Entente warriors who overran and
held whole regions of Teuton soil.
Then with the first snow that
winter came the terrible news of ex-
plosions of vast stores of ammuni-
ton. Accidents" said the official
reports; German spies" said those
who knew. The songs OF victory
died down and finally ceased alto
gether as week after week the
events of that disastrous winter be-
came known. With dismay, officers
and soldiers at the front learned
that the German element was still
dominant at court and that the
Grand Dukes appointment to the
post Of Commander-in-Chief had not
pleased them. We heard how the
Chief of the Corps of Special Gems
darmes in Petrograd. which had
been ordered to unmask German
spies. had been himself convicted
and hanged as a German spy, d.,
There was no heavy ammunition.
Through hours of despair the peas

lines of field guns remained cold

loosed upon US millions of shells
which literally blew our soldiers out
of their trenches. annihilated them.

old, of New London, Conn, swan

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Represen-
tative Ben Johnson, who has a rec
ord FOR discovering and causing to
be collected large sums Of money
' due the Treasury, has within the
last few days added $2S2,754.26 to
his record.
According to Mr.. Johnson fines
and foffeituTes i'm some of the courts
amounting to 1882. 754.26 never had
been paid to the Treasury. Recent
~ Mr.. johnson called upon Secre-
tary Of the Treasury McAdoo for the
purpose Of enlisting his assistance
n collecting this money and having
it paid into the Treasury.
About three years ago, after very
extensive research, Mr.. Johnson as
eertained that there was owing to
the United States Government more
than 81 100000 on account of board
and treatment of residents of the
District OF Columbia in the United
States Government Hospital for the
Insane. MIR. Johnson says that as
result of his efforts in this direction
there was paid into the Treasury Of
the United States three years ago
the SUN OF 9,536.09.
During the present session of Con-
gress Mr.. Johnson has continued his
work relative to the local patients
who did not pay for their board and
keep IN the lunatic asylum, and as a
result of his work succeeded only a
few days ago in having paid into
the Treasury on this account the adj
ditional sum of $2S2,754.26. There
fore, Mr.. Johnson has caused to be
collected and paid into the Treasury
IN account of the lunatic asylum
atone the large sum of $l,002,-
290.35.
In addition to this Mr.. Johnson
has dug up other amounts aggregat-
ing considerably more than $1,000
600 and has actually had the money
collected and deposited in the Treas
ury Of the United States.
For a number of years the people
throughout the country have been
taxed to pay part of the current ex-
peEses Of the city of Washington.
About Eve years ago Mr.. Johnson
inaugurated a fight in Congress to
relieve the people in the States from
paying this tax. When he commenc-
ed his fight the taxpayers in the
States We're paying annually about
80 per cent. of the current expenses
OF the city of Washington. During
the fiscal year which ended on June
80 last the proportion paid by the
people of the States toward the ex-
penses Of the city of Washington
had been reduced to about "a per
cent. and the indications are that
this proportion will be materially
reduced during the fiscal year which
will end next June.
