Very we'll I shall vote for it. but l wouldn't hesitate so far as I am concerned to compensate the men who go to the front-nOt purchase them. not as a bounty, but that it might be the best protected field in the world. Before the house committee Secretary Baker stood firmly for the general staff plan"
 Would YOU prefer" Representative Anthony asked, authority to raise volunteer army within thirty days rather than raise the 500,000 under a. selective draft that might take six months?'
 "I prefer the selective draft system" replied the secretary.
 Mr. Baker approved a suggestion that instead of authorizing two in- crements of selective draft forces, 5OO,- 900 to an increment, the bill authorizes the president to call as many such in- crements from time to time as he deemed necessary to prosecute the war
 Mir. Baker said the only provision of the administration bill which would initiate against the continuance of national guard units as such after they had been drafted in the federal service was that the way was to be opened for national guard officers to promotion to any part of the new army. This provision was inserted in justice to the officers of the guard and to provide an elastic and homogeneous military struc- ture.
 MT. Baker explained also that the department had been unable to permit national guard recruiting to proceed beyond the peace strength of the com mands because of shortage of equip ment which it could supply immedi- ately. The departments reserve stock was absorbed by the recent border mobilization.
 In the senate the 1918 appropriation bill. designed to carry on the existing military establishment, made rapid progress. It has passed the house al ready and came from the senate com mittee carrying a total of S27S, ,00O. 900. which is in addition to the $3, 900, 0O0. 900 now asked for the army to meet the war emergency
 The bill now contains one section, inserted by the senate committee. which has a direct bearing on the war emergency It does away with the grade of brigadier general entirely, substituting a senior and junior di- vision of the grade of major general instead The grade of brigadier cor responds to the abolished grade of commodore in the navy
 The new section also proposes that the chief of staff be given the rank of general, senior to all other army off cers, while in that position. This again parallels changes in navy practice where the chief of operations has been made ranking admiral of the navy would become generals and provision is made for the recreation of the grade of lieutenant general, which van lshed from army lists with the retire ment of General Miles.
 With armies in the field of the size now in contemplation, this procedure becames urgently necessary in order that high command can be properly assigned and adjusted.

He went to the eX> pense. during the framing of the na- tional defense act, of sending to Eng land for recruiting posters and litera- trle, and used them to illustrate to the house the unreliable and ineffi- cient operation of that system. While refusing to discuss his conference wi-h the president, MT. Dent admitted that no conclusion was reached.
 When I received the bill," he ex- plained, T agreed WitG the secretary of war that I would introduce it by request if he wanted to do SO He then asked me to hold it up until after the declaration of existence of a state Of war was made by congress- After that. the committee agreed tha. the bill should not De introduced until there had been thorough hearings on the subject
 There is no chance on earth of the bill coming out of the committee in any form within a week at least The main controversy is over the question of cOnscriptiOn. There is no question, however, on the part of any one as to giving the president all the men and money needed to carry on the war. The only controversy is as to the means of doing so."
 Mir. Dent indicated that he was anx- iOus to maintain harmony within the committee. He was not ready to talk 9 +Nn na4-'~o of the compromise of which he is thinking.
 --s1ussIOn UI the regular army ap- propriation bill had been perfunctory in the senate until a section authoriz- ing advertising agencies to obtain re- crultS for the army was reached.

 Recruits have Hooked to national headquarters ever since the German ambassador was sent home" declared Senator Wadsworth, but now 1 hear the war department has sent out orders forbidding the guard to accept re- cruits"
 Senator Nelson, a veteran of the civil war, declared himself in favor of a call for volunteers.
 T venture to say" he said that if the president calls for a volunteer army of 500.000 men and says that it is going to Europe to fight, there would be no trouble at all. What the boys dread above all IS to be stationed in camp with nothing but drills and guard duty. What they want is to march and fight and to meet the enemy"
 The senator added, however, that he did not believe it necessary to send an army to Europe at present.

business from a cut hand to an attack
of intercostal neuralgia, so severe
that physician had to be called in

Omen Letter.

Ashland Ore, July 7, 1917.
To the Editor of the Tidings: In
justice to myself and to the public, l
wish to make the following statement
of facts in connection with my arrest
for serving eats and drinks on July
3, 4 and 5: AS you probably do not
know, there was license charge for
all temporary businesses conducted
on the dates Of the recent celebration,
l did not procure license as | was
doing business in my own building.
Mr.. Frohbach, who had me arrested,
demanded $40 Of me to conduct my
place, seemingly downright holdup
for helping to feed the public. Of
fered Mr.. Frchbach s. as a donation
and he would not accept 1t, as he
wanted chance to sting me for
fine. And l have heard since that
he made the statement that he was
after me and that I was the fellow
he wanted to get. It is unfair and
unjust to charge one place 81 and
another place in the same building
$40. have also heard it stated that
several of the other places did not
apply for a license nor pay one cent
toward license, but found out after
wards that licenses had been issued
to them unbeknown to them, after /
had been arrested, in order to protect
them from arrest. Why should this
be? What did do in feeding the
public that should be arrested and
put to trouble and expense? Why let
the others go free? Why. should
be made the goat?

Not a Drop Of English Blood In the

Not a Drop of English Blood In the
Kaiser's Veins.
(By Henry G. Gilmore)
An article emanating from the
New York Times and copied largely
by the newspaper press OF the coun-
try, claiming that the Kaiser was
half English and the other part Ger
man, is in direct conflict with the
actual facts of the case az set forth
in the genealogical tree of the four
Georges and all that follows in its
wake Historians, in as polite terms
as possible, have always regarded the
four Georges as unsavory morsels at
the best, and while the American col
onies-sooner or later-must. very
properly, have established themselves
as a nation, q wise Victoria instead
OF a crazy George III on the throne
would have acquiesced in a separa-
tion based upon common sense and
mutual good will. What does un-
disputed history say upon this point
of blood relationship? 1t says that
George I (166O-172O was full.
blooded German; that he was born
in Hanover and that he married a
German wife. Much the same thing
can be said about George II (16S3-
1900. He was a full-blooded Ger
man, born also in Hanover and had
a German spouse as a partner in
life.
A great deal may be said about
George III (17SS-1S20). He was
born in England; both parents were
German and he married a German
wife. This George is the George of
Revolutionary fame-or rather DE-
FAME. Concisely and precisely stat
ed, he was full-blooded German-a
strong believer in "Divine right
and thoroughly crazy with 1t all, He
is associated in history as the mad
King and, lamentable as 1t is to re-
late, this self-same George III spent
the last years of his life in lunatic
asylum! Three facts stand out prom

inently in the career of this unfor-
tunate monarch that point to any
thing but happy and refreshing con-
ditions in kingly life. First that
while the privileged George III was,
through and through, German, our
great and universally beloved George
Washington had nothing but English
blood coursing in his veins. The sec
ond point is that the bulk of the Eng
lish people would not be invelgled
into fighting during the Revolution
airy war and so the Hessians and
other "barbarians" had to be called
in to do the business. Thirdly, 1t
should be stated that government
for the people and by the people"
was so completely ignored that only
2 per cent of the British nation were
voters at that time. About George
", William w and Duke of Kent
children of George Hit may be
said that they all married German
wives.
Now in regard to Queen Victoria
(loved the world over for her many
gracious and womanly qualities), she
was the daughter Of the Duke of
Kent and had German mother Her
husband was Albert Of SAKE Coburg
and Gotha. highly esteemed for his
support of the arts and sciences
throughout the British Isles and ad-
mired for his abstention from politi-
cal entanglements of any sort.
Now We come to the meeting of
the why's and wherefores. which en-
phatically declare against the Eng
lish blood relationship of the Kaiser
as traced through the marriage Of
the Princess Royal-eldest daughter
of Queen Victoria and Albert of Sake
Coburg and Gotha to Frederic of
Prussia-the idol, In many ways, OF
the German people and known every
where as "Our Fritz" Victoria
the Princess Royal'-was the moth
er Of Kaiser William.
1t will be seen from these historic
facts that Queen Victoria had not a
drop of English blood in her veins
or, at most, a very small drop. She
married German, so that her chill
dren were as nearly full-blooded
Germans as one might naturally ex-
pect.
Now would the New York Times
and sundry other papers please sit
up and take notice and let the people
of two continents know that the
Kaiser is without a drop of English
blood in his veins, and that the en-
tire world repudiates with scorn and
indignation-never to be forgotten
the execrable acts in his insane at
tempt to dominate all things on this
little planet of ours? The penalties
for all this evil doing will have to be
paid sooner or later, by the Kaiser
and his emissaries, and OH what an
accounting that will be! It may
prove heavy burden, but, from

Planting the Lawn and Border.
Prepared by the u s. department
of agriculture.
THE chief consideration in
J. the planting plan for roses
for landscape effects Is that the
plants should be so spaced %hat~
when they reach maturity they
will come together without over
crowding. The habits Of growth
of the particular varieties cho-
sen will be the determining fac
tor. The spacing should in gen.
eral range from two to six feet.
Early spring planting is best in
the extreme northern part of the
United States and on the west
ern plains. where there are
strong. drying winds in winter,
In other regions fall planting is
advantageous. but not sufficient
ly so to warrant postponing
planting from spring until au.
tumn. When possible. however.
It is well enough to push plant.

wait until spring. Spring plant
ing should he done as soon as
the ground is dry enough to
work or when It springs apart
