David Fairchild. president of the Peo-
pies Garden Association, and Mrs C.
W. Wetmore, president of the Capital
Garden Association, requested that the
board ask for an appropriation of $1,000
TO carry on garden work through the

charge of the work. This matter will
be brought before the committee on
ways and means of the board.

the fullest extent through the schools.

LIBERIA ASKS FOR LOAN

Appears Here as War Mis-

Earnest Lyon. colored, consul general
of Liberia in the United States, pre-
sented himself at the State Department
Yesterday at the head of Liberian
mission. consisting of himself. and
asked the United States to give the
black republic material assistance as
one of the allied belligerents.
This assistance may be described in
terms of money. but ammunition, guns
and other munitions, Lyon said, would
be welcomed. When asked what Lii
IBERIA proposed to contribute to the al
lied cause in return for the assistance
it asked. Lyon spoke in uncertain
tones. He did not know whether a
Liberian army would be dispatched to
France or a Liberian navy would be
sent against the U-boat menace.
In fact. Lyon seemed more interested
in getting something from this govern

ment than in promising something in
behalf Of Liberia. He announced that a
German wireless station in Liberia had
been taken over by the Liberians, also
that certain German ships interned in
the ports of that country had been
seized. but he did not know how many.
Lyon had a talk with Assistant Sec

he said he had a favorable conference.
He said he expected to see the fiscal
agent OF his government in Washing
ton later and take up with him the
procurement for immediate expenditure
of sum of $4,000 held in trust in
this country for the Liberian govern
ment.
Liberia is the newest Of the belliger-
ents. The announcement that the Afri-
can republic had thrown the weight of
its power into the balance was made
several days ago. Lyon was at one
time minister to Liberia.

Story of Execution Unfounded.

ST. FRANCISvILLE. ILL.,, May 17.-In-
vestigation Of a report that Mrs Ka-
trina Couch, wife of Rev. James Couch
of Wante. Okla, had been shot as a
spy in Germany. indicates that the
story was gossip. The story as told
here by friends of the family was sup
posed to have come from a relative of
Mr.. Couch at West Salem. ILL.,, and this
relative was supposed to have re-
ceived the information from the min
ister.. The fact that the latter knew
nothing of the story. when questioned
at Pauls Valley, Okla. is considered
here as evidence that the report was

Its request was brought before the

the schools.
mo society in Washington today is
doing more for education than this So

Mrs. Margarita Spalding Gerry asked
that methods of instruction in cooking
different from those commonly used in
the schools at present should be tried
experimentally at one school so that
the results might be compared with
those now being obtained.
The present method allows only one
girl to do the work, the others merely
observing" said Mrs. Gerry. Il should
like to see each girl given an oppor-
tunity to take an active part"
Ernest l.. Thurston, superintendent of
schools, said he thought the plan might
be tried out in at least one of the grade
schools. The John Eaton School, Mrs
Gerry explained, had made arrange
ments to do this. The plan was ap-
proved.

sheik saad Facilities Excellent.

Sheik saad is the jumping-off place
for troops, stores and ammunition
brought up, and for the transfer from
rail and light vessel to larger ships
of sick and wounded going down to the
base hospitals. Sheik Saad itself has
two large hospitals, one for Indians
and one for Europeans, and also
large casualty clearing station. Elabo-
rate arrangements exist for feeding the
wounded all along the line, and on
arrival at Rail head. and though the
sojourn at this point of casualties is
mostly of quite brief duration, the IA
cilities are as complete as those OF
hospital in England.
During the storming of Sanna-l- fat
the first roar of bombardment began
at 10 o'clock; the first wounded were
in the field ambulance at noon. and at
o'clock in the afternoon were on
their way down stream, their wounds
dressed. their stomachs well filled,
their cigarettes alight.
The hottest of the hot weather is
now at hand, with all its attendant
horrors and all the obstacles which
nature in Mesopotamia filings in the
path of the military commander. The
soil. the rain. the climate, floods, the
flies and the heat combine to make
the conduct of a campaign in the
Tigris valley during the summer
months a task of stupendous difficulty.
The difficulties are being tackled and
overcome with success.
