SEEK CHANGE IN. GREEK CATHOLIC UNIONS BYLAWS
Delegates Would Provide For Re Election of Pres
 er1t Officers.

According to an announcement made by Supreme President Michael Rushin of Minneapolis, head of the Greek Catholic Union of America which is holding it's 14th biennial iconvention in Sokol hall here this week, the organization now has a membership of 90,oo0 in the United States and Canada. Auditors were en- gagged today in checking up the re- ports submitted by the treasurers of the various subordinate branch of the Union therefore the report on finances was delayed.
 The session todsy was principally taken up with a discussion of a pro posed amendment to the bylaws which will permit the reelection of the present officers. Delegates who desire to change the bylaws claim that officers scarcely become familiar with their duties urIa-, changes are suffers by the delay in the payment of death benefits, acknowledgement of receipts of per capita tax, etc A number of delegates from Middle West states are opposing the proposed change in the bylaws.
 Several changes regarding the nec- essary proofs for death claims rnak- ing a simpler method for procurine death benefits have also been propos- ed.
 It Is likely that the nominatiO on and election of officers will be delay ed until tomorrow. There will be another dance tonight and an enter tainment in Sokol hall.
 A new bylaw was adopted at the session yesterday afternoon requiring that in the future all delegates to the conventions of the union shall be cit
 izens of the United states. A resolu- tion was also adopted urging all mem bers of the organization to become | citizens as soon as possible. It was voted to have a number of religious and historical books printed in the Slayok language and circulated among the families of the members so thai the children will not forget the mother tongue Most of the members of the

 Millions of Tons of War Steel.
 The extent of the absorption of steeI for shells by the war. if the total could be expressed in tons. would stagger the average mind. While side and Germany and her allies on the other are converting many hum dreds of thousands of tons Of their own steel into various kinds of shells, the United States Is contributing enor- mously to the total, says the Iron Age
 The exports of steel bars from this country have probably gone mostly to France, while those from Great Bri- tain, to France have exceeded all pre- vious records.

 The newspapers today refrained from any comment on the latest develop ments, merely mentioning Ambassador Gerard's departure. The general situa- ton was not referred to by the news papers except the Tages Zeitung, which printed its usual article laying empha- sis on the statement that the under water boat is a necessity in Germany s warfare against Great Britain.
 A Berlin dispatch to the Cologne Gag ette again calls atteItion to what it to bring about d breach in German American relations. This dispatch says the press of the entente powers is seek ing to hammer the conviction into the whole world that the conditions as laid down by the American government will not be acceptable to Germany and that an effort is being made to discredit the German answer in advance, no matter what it may be.
 The purpose of these efforts is clear says the dispatch. England and France are longing for German- American complications"

American officers have been in- detail military plans for the cooper ation of the Mexican and American troops in the dispersing of bandit bands including a division of north ern Mexico into spheres of activity for the two forces, it became known here tonight.
 Generally speaking, the aim of Generals Scott and Funstan at the Juarez conference will be to secure the consent of General Obregon to the employment of the American troops in the territory immediately south of the border, and to the or sanitation of Mexican forces along different lines in order that all oi northern Mexico may be secured thoroughly for Villa and other out | laws.
 General Obregon will be told thai the United States is not yet satisfied l that American border towns will b, 1 free from raids similar to that or Columbus is the American troops ar. withdrawn.

 The soldiers left Columbus upon orders of General J. J. Pershing ex- peditionary commander. and it was stated at military headquarters here tonight that no reasons had been out lined. Persons in constant touch with the border situation offered various solutions, one belief expressed was that General Pershing feels that his shortened line of communication which extends from Columbus to San Antonio, a distance of about 325 miles is in need of further strength ening. Another was that the ex- peditionary commander fears that one of the stipulations In the con- ference between Generals Scott, Fun ston and Obregon, will be that no more American troops shall cross the boundary and is anticipating such ar agreement by bringing his command 1 to a strength that will enable it to cope with any emergency.
