teDiuary ant. cIse Ee- sNlf 2=s,T Of March, when the Gore and McLembre resolu- tions, in the house of representatives | and senate respectively, were cast into the discard, and the president was up held in his stand. The failure of the ententt to give Germany a knockout blow fhis sum- mer resulted in upsetting thd govern ments of the three greatest entente powers, Great Britain, France and Russia, while Joseph Joffre, v,ho had led the armies of France ever since the beginning of the war, gave way to the younger Robert Nivelle, a figure
 which the Homeric struggle at Yer dun had thrown into the limelight On February p the czar visited the Russian Duma for the first time in history.
 In recalling the historic events of the year the Russian advance in Asia Minor and the capture of the big cities of Trebizond and Erzerum should not be left out.
 It appeared that the Muscovites would sweep on to the Dardanelles, but they were soon brought to stand still and pushed back in the South, where the Turks, on April 29, cap tured the whole British garrison of Kut-el-Amara, on the Tigris river Then, too, Italy became a larger fac tor in the war this year. The Aus trians attempted a great offensive on the plains of northern Italy from the Tyrol, but Count Cadorna quickly shifted forces to meet them by motor car, drove them back to their former positions and soon afterward began a victorious advance against Goritz and the Carso plateau.
 Three Big RevoIts.
 Three important revolts took place against the recognized governments of the warning nations. The Easter rev. olution in Ireland was put down in a few days. President Pearse and other leaders, including Sir Roger Easement, were executed and the Irish question was left much as before.
 In southern Arabia the natives, un- der the leadership of the Shereef of Medina, rose against the Turks, cap tured the Moslem holy city of Mecca, beat off attacks and proclaimed a new kingdom, which is now asking rec ognition at Washington and elsewhere.
 Broadly Greeks set up the stand ard of opposition to King Constantine and the Germanic powers, and on Sep tember 25 Eleutherios Venizelos, the most able Greek of modern times left Athens to lead them. Lloyd George announced to the house of commons in his historic speech of December 19, that Great Britain would recognize the Venizelist agents.

 continue it's policy of N a1,n ing" and on March 10 President son ordered General Pershing to go into Mexico and bring Villa back, dead or alive.
 March 14 the house adopted reso- lution empowering the president to re- cruit the army to 10000 men, and on March 15 General Pershing was able to gather some 5000 troops and enter Mexico.
 The loss of time between the Co., lumbus raid and Pershing's entrance enabled Villa to get far into the in terior of Chihuahua, and it was not until March 29 that Colonel Dodd with cavalry overlook the bandit leader. Dodd's men killed 6S Mexicans. and wounded the bandit chieftain, but he escaped with a few of his trusted fol- lowers.
 Two days later Colonel Brown and two troops of the Tenth cavalry, af- ter a midnight ride that will go down in cavalry history as a feat of endur- ance that has never been surpassed, surprised the MeXicans at Aguasca- lientes, killing 30 of them.
 On April 29 Minister of War Obre- gon and Major General Scott, chief of staff of the American army, met in Fl Paso with General Funston in an eff fort to arrive at some policy that would mutually benefit the border. The conference came to naught, and on May bandits again crossed the bor- der and raided the settlement of Glenn Springs, Texas, in the Big Bend coun- try.
 Major Langhorne and about half troop of cavalry entered Mexico in pur- suit of the attacking force, and sue ceeded in rescuing Jesse Deemer, q storekeeper of Glenn Springs, who had been held for ransom by the Mexicans, but the main body of the bandits es- capped.
 National Guard MobiIized.
 President Wilson on May ordered out the militia of Arizona, New Mex leo and Texas, but despite this hddi- tional force the MeXicanS Again crossed the river at San Ighacio, Texas, and murdered three catvalry- men. On June Is Carranza, through General Obregon, warned General Pershing that if his command moved least, west or south he would at- tack them. On the same day{ posters were displayed in Juarez calling all Mexicans to arms.
 The National Guard of thk United States was called out in it's entirety on June IS, and ordered to the border. Three days later two troobs of the Tenth cavalry were ambushed at Car rizal and almost wiped out. Seventeen troopers were taken prisoner by the Mexicans. President Wilson ordered their release, and on JunY 2S they ar- rived in Juarez.
 On November 24 Amerifan and Mex ican commissioners sig1ed a peace protocol at Atlantic City after weeks of deliberating, and fo4r days later, Villa, just to show that he was still

COUNTY HOSPITAL
EXPENSES DOUBLE
+ IN A SINGLE YEAR
With Only Thirty More Patients
Democrats Run Up Enor-
nous Bills to Feed the
Inmates at Farm.

Expenses at the county hospital
for April of this year were nearly
double those of the corresponding
month in 1916, while the increase in
the number OF patients was less than
thirty.
1t is not clear whether this is due
solely to the H. c. L. or in part to
the change in management after the
democrats took control this year.
For April, 1916, the expenses were
$4,476.2S. The number of patients
that month was 269.
There were 297 patients in April
this year, an increase of only twenty
eight, but the expenses leaped to ST.
06l.63.
Other Increases Shown.
Other months since the first Of the
year also show increases in expenses
as compared with corresponding pc
RODS in 1916.
Some interesting figures are shown
in the records of County Auditor An
thes and County Clerk Dewey.
For instance, the expenditures for
meat in April this year are startling
as compared with last year.
Records show that $l,l2l26 worth
Of meat was purchased for the county
hospital during April this year. For
April, 1916, the meat bilf was only
$41974.
Meat Scars High.
With less than thirty additional pa
tients the meat bill increased nearly
5O0 per cent over year ago.
Some taxpayers who also eat meat
have not found that their bills are
800 per cent greater than a year ago.
Groceries have increased in price
more than meat, but not in the county
hospital.
The grocery bill for April this year
was $l,250.27, as compared with
$923.82 for the corresponding month
in 1916.
No one can blame the soaring po-
tato for the big increase in expenses,
for no spuds have been purchased for
the hospital since March |. y

KIDNAPPING PART
OF GERMAN PLOT
TO STOP TRAFFIC
Men Who Stole Babe at Spring
field, Mo-, Planned to Alb
duct Children Of St. Louis
Mumtion Makers.

Springfield, Mo-, June 6.-Plans to
abduct at St Louis children OF manu-
facturers OF munitions as part OF a
German conspiracy to block the ship
ment OF such supplies were revealed
today to Paul O'Day, prosecuting at
torney, by c. J. Persol, one OF the
six men held in the investigation OF
the disappearance of Lloyd keet, a.
month-old son of J. Holland Keet,
wealthy banker.
The plan was given up as impracti-
cal, however, Piersol is said TO have
declared.
Authorities previously announced
that the six had confessed other plots,
including the abduction of c. A. Gle
ment, local jeweler, whom they eX-
pected to hold for ransom.
Suspects Deny Confession.
The suspects, against whom no for
NAL charge yet has been made, deltied
such confession today, despite the
continued assertions OF O'Day and
others that they had made such state
ments.
With the arrest early today Of six
persons charged with being impli-
Gated in the kidnapping last week of
Lloyd Keet, the police believe they
are on the track of the abductors and
express belief that the baby will be
returned before nightfall.
Planned to Take Other.
One of those in custody, whose
name has not been given out, is said
by Paul M. O'Day, prosecuting attor-
ney, to l,ave made confession OF
the plot to kidnap not only the Keet
child, but the children of other
wealthy residents of Springfield.
In company with the man who is
said to have made the confession,
Prosecutor O'Day and four detectives
started in pursuit of the kidnapers
who are supposed to have the child
in their possession, but early today
they had not apprehended them.
