BIG WAR APPROPRIATIONS.
About $4,000, ,OOO,O 200 Will be Asked
of Congress.

Washington, July 13.-War appro-
priations of about three billion dol
lars in addition to the enormous
sums already appropriated or sought,
will be asked of congress in estimates
which administration officials have
given notice will be submitted next
week. All the appropriations con-
templated for war purposes in the
near future will be grouped in a gen.
eral deficiency bill, draft of which
already is under preparation by the
house appropriation committee. Next
week officials will appear before the
committee to explain their estimates.
The exact total is uncertain as
some big items are yet to be SUBJ
mitted, but there is no question in
the minds of the congressional lead
ers that they will foot up close to the
three billion dollar mark. That
would bring the total appropriations
exclusively on account of the war at
this session of congress, including
loans to the allies up to about ten
billions. The new measure will COW
er some estimates already submitted
including 100000 for emergen-
cy naval constructions and s45,OoO,-
900 for naval aircraft, aviation sta
tions and aerial experiments. The
pending s64O,OOO,0oo general avia-
ton measure will be handled as a
separate bill.
Information is lacking as to the de-
tailed purposes Of the bulk of the
contemplated demands for war mon
ey and it is assumed that part of it
is for carrying out projects which
cannot be revealed for military rea-
sons.

The recent death Of Theebaw, once

in the trenches. am satisfied that volunteering is the Costliest system in the long run. The volunteer system fails at the crucial moment, for there comes a time when all of the high hearted have volunteered and recruit ing dwindIeS away.
 That is what Is happening in Aus tralia, where cOnscriptiOn was defeated by popular vote. Australia already has contributed 2SOOOO men out of a total population of about 100000, but 1t re Quires a monthly quota of 12,OOO to keep this force up to strength, and al- ready there are signs that the supply of men to be secured by volunteering Is approaching exhaustion. The Aus tralians are learning their lesson, and I think that Sir William Hughes, the premier, and his supporters will carry conScriptOn.
 "England's losses in brains under the volunteer system have been incalcula- ble. Our specialists are being destroyed on the battlefield. America should profit by the mother country's mistake.

Military training among high school boys is being advocated strongly by the official school publications of the high schools of Kansas City. Mo. An idea of what this military drill Is ac- complaining among these youths may be gathered from the following extract from the Central High School Lumi- nary of the Missouri city: ..l
 'Attentionr One hundred dummies stuck out till they nearly burst, hun. dred heads flew back till the same number Of necks nearly broke, hun dred faces flushed to a reddish hue. One thousand girls looked on to the disgust of the recruits, but they bit their lips and stood the test.

 "Attentionr It was four weeks later One hundred chests arched out, Q hun, dred heels clicked in unison, and every move was one. One thousand girls looked on with eyes wide in undis guised admiration. Yes; they did look fine, but just wait till the uniforms come"

 ages to Barrett.

Mount Vernon, N. Y.-Following a contest in the courts for five years, William G. Bartlett of EatOnah has lost his claim for S1, 300 against the state of New York for destruction of poplar trees by beavers on his game preserve in the Adirondacks.
 The decision of the court of appeals reverses the appellate division, which affirmed a judgment for that amount granted by the court of claims. The case waS the first action of its kind ever tried in the state. The court of claims found that the destruction was caused by four beavers liberated on Eagle creek and their descendants that used the branches for their houses. The claimant claimed that the beavers were wards of the state.

BACK YARDS OF 1917

The City With tue Cicanest Alleys Is q dcscrirtiou which has been ap- piled to Davenport, la. since that city lnauSuratcd its annual yard and gar deu contest four years ago, says O. R. Gever in tue American City. Under the impetus If cash and honor awards sey- eral thousand citizens of Davenport are joining hands each summer in movement tD make their city one of the c,eluest and most beautiful cities in the country. This competition has succeeded to such Cu extent that it has attracted national attention, and its in- dueuce is doing much to introduce a new municipal spirit throughout the west.
 T-e GarCvu club is the outgyowth of a suggestion made three years ago that the business wsu get behind a city beautiful campaign ut some sort. The members of the Rotary club promptly subscribed S3OD for ash prizes and set about conducting 8 publcity campaign which left no one in the entire city in Ignorance concerning tue new move meut. NOyei s.o-a-s, such GS "Be It Ever So Humble, Maze It AtractLye.' "Eou Win if IeG LySc" and Make Your Nelglbor Sit Cp and Take No tee" stirred up enough interest to start the contest with big SeDdoR.
 The first contest was so successful that one out of every seven homes was entered in the contest the following suumer. One out of every i've persons in the city. or about S,GG9 persons, took part in the third annual contest last season, which not only established a new record for contests of this sort. but resulteI in untold benefits for the city. In all there were 2.%UO entries in this contest, 1.TUO for yards and 600 for gardens. All classes, from the poorest to tSe wgalLhiyst, were repre- scuted among the contestants, and there was the keeaeSt Sort of compcti- ton on all sides.
 Extraordinary steps were taken to keep the yards and alleys clean and to plant good vegetable gardens. Hun- dreds of homes which lad not been able to lay special cl&iI to beautiful surroundings have bIossomcd out each year in backgrounds which are making city life more attractive. And above all, the hundreds of new gardens which have been started in all sections of the city are doing much to cut down the high cost of living.
 The good that Davenport is doing with this contest, conducted under the auspices of the Rotary club, has been reflected in almost a score of Iowa towns and cities. Some of the Iowa towns have cOpied the Davenport plan In it's entirety, while others are using the same plan on 9 much smaller scale. The clubwOmen of the state have given this new municipal movement consider able impetus through the work of the state federation, which has IT 900 mem bers. In a number of the cities the Clubwomen themselves are conducting these contests and offering prizes. Iowa State college at AmeS in the work of it's extension department is spreading the new gospel through the medium of a special bulletin issued a year ago and by lectures which members of it's stafr are giving in all parts of the state.
