astation by the Germans one OF the
happiest regions in all OF France,
tail by Judson c. Welliver, in a story
appearing in the June number of
Munsey's Magazine on sale today.
Graphic and sympathetic, this story
alone sets forth the horrors OF Ger
manic ruthlessness as practiced on
an occupied country. and portrays the
savage cunning OF the Teutonic
strategists in a way that might well
justify the entry OF the civilized ma
tions into war though no other facts
were available. Courcelette, Ba-
psume, Pozieres, Nesle-each was
martyr to the cause for which the
United States has taken up the
sword, and their martyrdom is set
forth by Mr.. Welliver, who traversed
practically the whole of the territory
recently regained by our allies on the
Western front.
Another timely article in the same
magazine is that by Richard H.
Titherington on The Rise and Fall
of the House OF Romanoff," which
traces the unhappy career OF that
dynasty from the time OF the election
OF Michael Romanoff by the Musco-
wife mobiles in 1913 to the abdication
OF the Gar IN the stirring days OF
last March.

PROVIDE FUNDS
PARIS BUREAU FOR ITS
SOLDIER BOYS.

When the Sovereign Camp Of the
Woodmen of the World meets in At
lanta on July 10th, Hon. H. f. Sim
rail-, of this city, delegate from Mis-
slssippi, will introduce and press be-
fore the body resolution providing
that sufficient funds be appropriated
from the general fund of the order
to establish and maintain in Paris a
general bureau of information for
the period of the war.
VI the proposition meets with the
approval of the Sovereign Camp as
it is almost sure to do, the bureau
will be centrally located and be de-
signed to meet in every possible way
the needs of the members of the
Woodmen of the World for a Euro
pean headquarters, and bureau of
information, advice and help, 1t will
be of special service in enabling par
ents and friends at home to keep in
touch with members of the order at
the front. Through card system
of information, registration and iden-
tification, originating in the twelve
thousand local lodges of the order and
perfected from the records in the
Sovereign offices in Omaha, COM
plete copies of which will be on file
in the Paris bureau the company
regiment and brigade of each mem
Der can be known and his condition
from time to time be ascertained and
reported to his family in America.
All the details of the plan will be
worked out before the convention as.
sembles next month.
The Woodmen Of the World had
an income of S13,622,618 during
1916. 1t will be much greater in
1917. Ten per cent OF this vast sum
can be used for expenses, in the way
OF salaries and running expenses, but
only small part is actually so used,
for during the past three years, un-
der the wise and economical man
agemeht of Sovereign Commander
Fraser $2,677,254 has been saved
and placed in the emergency fund.
This money is at the disposal of the
Sovereign Camp. Certainly no bet.
ter use can be made than the expend.
iture of small sum cor the purpose
in view.
The Woodmen have about one hun
dred and fifty thousand members out
of total membership of eight hun
dred and fifty thousand, between the
ages of twenty-one and thirty, and it
is safe to predict there will soon be
many thousands in France.

WAR BILL IS READY
FOR THE PRESIDENT
WILSON WILL SIGN MEASURE
CARRYING TOTAL OF
$3,2s1 100000

Washington, June 49, President
Wilson took hand yesterday in the
congressional controversy which has
been delaying final passage of the
$3,2Sl 100000 war budget bill, and
the measure probably will be sent to
him for his signature tomorrow.
In letter to Chairman Padgett of
the House naval committee the presi-
dent transmitted and unqualifiedly
indorsed communication from Sec
retary Daniels emphasizing the nee
essity of naval base on Hampton
Roads, Soon afterward the House
adopted conference report on the
budget measure with a modification
Of the section in dispute providing
for the acquisition of the old James
town Exposition site for the naval
station. The senate is expected to
concur tomorrow.
The exposition site provision has
kept the bill in conference for a
week, all of the other great appro-
prations carried having been agreed
upon. The House objected to tho
price Of s1,400,000 fl,
property as exorbitant, and there
was talk on the floor of graft. The
modification written into the bill pro-
vides that the president shall take
over the site at price satisfactory tic
him, not to exceed S1,200,000.
