 WASHINGTON May 30.-Consistant pruning of the billion eight hundred million Revenue Bill has within tho last few days reduced it by approxi- mately three hundred million.
 The State Finance Committee have now completed their work along this hne with the result that as it now stands the Revenue Bill calls for about one billion five hundred million.
 Their report is in and opinions are expressed that the full amount will stand at the present figure, apparently it being taken for granted that the above amount fully covers all needs in the line intended for it's use.

 My message to the troops is the same, said the Kaiser. The unshake- able will to victory of the German people. who are prepared for every sacrifice of blood and treasure, will, I trust to God, preserve the Fatherland from the ruin contemplated by its enemies and will force by the sword the peace necessary for the blessed de- velopment of the world

GOVERNMENT READY FOR
 DRAFT REGISTRATION


 Patriotic organizations are being formed who will march with great bands and hundreds of thousands of flags are to be supplied these by vari- ous orders throughout the nation.
 These throngs will form an escort for the youths who have registered and they will be made to feel that in doing their duty they have gained the respect and gratitude of all good Americans.
 In Boston the plan is to do this all at night in good old fashioned torch light parade, and they have obtained the permission of the authorities to have fireworks at many of the larger parks. In fact the plan is spreading with such rapidity that even the small towns throuhout the country will un- doubtedly fall in line and make this day one of celebration.
