"As well as could understand IT,"
said Calvin, "the plan was to cut
down the high cost of living. Ths

away from the big land owners and

he said that he had not Asked II
Governor Stuart was one Of the men

gave of the territory, the eonspirator5
intended to cover, however, and the
fact that Governor Stuart's great

Young Mccoy talked freely OF the

he had signed 1t at his fathers re-

French Expert Gives $4,000

PARIS. June 2s.-General de Ia
croix publishes in the Temps the re-
suits OF his study, supposedly from
authoritative sources, OF the pres

estimates that the grand total Of Ger

that this total was depleted by losses
Of 1880, 900. 1900, 900 rendered unit
through wounds and 10000 resi-
dent in foreign countries.
General de la Crolx estimates that
Of the balance nearly 100000 are
employed as nrst line, rear line, and
interior troops, leaving q movable
balance OF reserves OF about 766,O0O,
OF which 10000 are attached to front
depots, $4,000 In interior depots, and
10000 In process OF formation
This number will be increased in
November by 100000 Of the class OF
1919. These troops will not, however
be available before that for any ser
vice, any more than those in form
ton.
On this basis General de la CT n

NEW YORK, June 2S.-Cartooa,
the big male elephant at the Bronx
Zoo, has gone mad.
So reported DR.. William T. Horna-
day, director of the Zoo, to the menu
bers OF the Board of Estimate yes

Cartoon, who has been in the Zoo
nine years, had a record for ex-
emplary conduct until a few weeks
ago, when he developed an ugly
streak. He has grown worse daily.
Even his keepers are afraid of him.
He is such a splendid specimen that
DR., Hornaday said II would be ad-

HUGHES IN "PLATE" CASE
viii Ask Permission to Sell "a. p
A." to Newspaper Union.

CHICAGO, June 2s.-An appeal
from a ruling by Federal Judge Lam
dis, who refused the American Press
Association permission to sell its
property to the Western Newspaper
Union, will be argued in the appel
late court today by Charles z.
hughes.
The sale Of the American Press As
ISOLATION to the Newspaper Union was
forbidden by an injunction issued by
Judge Lands, which In a recent de-
cision he declined to dissolve on the
grounds that 1t would make the News
paper Union a monopoly. Both con-
Germs now deal in newsplate supplies
to newspapers.
The Press Association which Is
petitioning for the sale, argues that
the transfer is necessary to preserve
any Of its assets.
