Since Sir John Jellicoe has been
living at Mall House, which is his
official residence as First Lord or
the Admiralty, Lady Jellicoe's great
love for children has manifested it
self even more than in the past by
her interest in the orphans of the
men who lost their lives fighting
under her husbands command. Lady
Jellicoe is a great favorite with the
children, both boys and girls, and is
always at home when she calls at
the big Hampstead School, where
sailors daughters are cared for. All
of them are orphans, many made so
by the last big naval battle of Jut-
land N. Y. III. Special

Copenhagen, July 17.-Count Ulrich

The reichstag's proposed peace resO-
luton, which, according to the Berlin

the center, radicals and socialists de-
cided TO introduce unchanged upon the
reassembling of the relchstag, reads as
follows:
"As on August 4, 1914, soon the
threshold of the fourth year of the war,
the German people stand upon the as
surance of the speech from the throne,
1--WE are driven by no lust of conquest"
Germany took up arms in defense
Of the liberty and independence and
for the integrity of it's territories. The
reichstag labors for peace and a mu-
tual understanding and lasting recon
Citation among the nations. Forced &C
auisitions of territory and political,
economic and financial violations are
incompatible with such a peace.
THE reiehstag rejects all Iians aim
ing at an economic blockade and the
stirring up of enmity among the peo-
pies after the war The freedom of the
seas must be assured. Only an eco
nomic peace can prepare the ground
for the friendly associations of the
peoples.
The reichstag will energetically
promote the creation of international
judicial organizations. So long, how

not accept such a peace; so long as
they threaten Germany and her allies
with conquest and violation, the Ger

In computing the number of men to
be required from the various states
the government put to the credit of
each state every man It now has in

war volunteer to the regular army.
Computation Method.
Placing on the debit side of the led
ger the national army of 100000, the
entire National Guard at war strength
and the number of war volunteers
needed on April l last, to bring the
regulars up to the war strength, the
grand total was apportioned according
to population.
This gave a gross quota for each
state, from which net quota was COM
puted by checking off the number OF
National Guardsmen available for fed
eral service and the number of men
given by the state TO the regular army
since April I.
The apportionment was made on the
basis of an estimated grand total for
the United States and its possessions
Of los ,366,O56 inhabitants.
This is paper estimate. computed
from registration returns, which comes
within the law requiring distribution
of quotas by population, but which
equalizes in a great measure the bur
den that is 10 fall upon the 4559 eX-
emption districts
Total of 1,152,e85.
Each will furnish under this appOr-
tionment the men its total registration
would Indicate as n fair proportion,
rather than the number the actual pop
ulation of the district would indicate.
The total of these gross quotas is l.
152.9S5 men.
Credit is given to the various states
for a total of 465.9S5 voluntary enlist
ments In the National Guard and reg
ulars. making the total net quota for
all states $4,000 men.
Illinois, which was the first big state
to fill its quota for the regular army,
reduced its gross quota Of 1904 to
