TRAIN BEARING BATTERY B
DUE AT R0SSYN At 4:30
District Artillerymen Will Go tc Fort
Myer at Once-Muster Out
May Be Delayed.

Battery B. y. G. y. c., which has
been serving on the Mexican border
for the past six months, is expected to
arrive at Rosslyn, Va, about 4:5e
O'Clock this afternoon. After detrain-
ing the battery win proceed to Fort
Myer, where It will remain until mus
tered out OF the federal service.
Speaking generally, Secretary Baker
says that no change has been made in
the orders for the muster out of the
$4,000 militiamen recently relieved
from duty on the Mexican border. wihcn
includes Battery Of the District Ma
tional Guard. Arrangements for the
muster out of those organizations when
either have arrived at their home sta
lions or are en- route thereto, 1T Is eN-
planned, are in the hands of the COM
manderS of che military departments IN
which the home stations are located.
In the case Of Battery Il, now under
orders to proceed to Fort Myer Va,
the questions of how and when that
organization shall be mustered out are
In the hands OF Maj. Gen. Wood. COM
mantling the Eastern Department. at
New York city.
1t is admitted that there appears TO
be some delay in the rehabilitation of
some of the organizations relieved
fror duty on the border. several of
them having been retained in Texas
and the muster out of those that have
arrived at their home stations appar-
entity having been countermanded, or,
at least postponed. If it is true, rs
reported, that Battery b is to be re-
tanned indefinitely in the federal serv
ice. or it's muster out delayed, it is be-
cause Gen. Wood, the department COM
mander. deems it advisable, and not. 1t
is declared. because Of any orders from
the War Department.
The statement of Secretary Baker
that no change has been made in orders
for the rehabilitation of the troops or
dered home applies only to the past
and not to the future. as international
developments may require a change of
plans at any time. even today or to-
morrow

government, replying to inquiries made
by tho Associated Press respecting the

ton, the feeding OF Belgium is seri-
ousI- obstructed by Germany unless the
vessels OF the relief committee are al
lowed to penetrate the zone OF block

Germany is aware OF it. If. ncverthe

destruction, without excepting the ships
OF the relief committee, she viii obiiSa
neutrais and Belgium to conclude that
. sle Is not sincere when she affirIns that
she does not wish to hinder the feeding
OF Belgium. In reality, the only way in
which the German government may prove
its sincerity, and not interfere with this
provisioning, is to guarantee complete i'm

committees ships. 1t nut not be over

snapper Abounds in Australla.

The snapper Is the characteristic Aus
tralian fish. 1t Is found all round the
Australian coasts at some time of the
year, also in New Zealand and part
of the Indian ocean, in haunts where
the ocean bed is rock strewn or rubbly.
Some think the snapper ought to have
been on the Australian cOat-of-arms,

rooms. In fact, the Red Cross work
could be more effectively carried on
under such auspices than in any other
way. The men in spare moments
might come around to give the boys a
word of encouragement and help out
wherever they could. Under these
conditions the spirit OF, enterprise and
work would hold of a community in
a way that would be a revelation to it's
inhabitants.
For the active shopwork two shifts
of four hours each would be employed,
say, 20 boys to the shift-the shifts to
work from 8 a. m. till IL and from
- 80 to 4 80. These shifts could al
ternate on morning and afternoon
work every other week. The number
that could be handled in shift would,
of course, depend upon the kind of
work, the size of the shop, and the
amount of supervision.

Improving English Through Latin
Study.

A new book designed to improve
work in English through the study OF
Latin, is being prepared by Prof. M v
O'Shea of the University of Wisconsin
and Prof. w. j. Grinstead of the Ken
lucky State Normal school. The book
presents one-years Latin English
course with the aim of helping pupils,
who cannot take full course in Latin
to get something of the spirit of Latin
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1917-08-23

and especially to see how English
words, construction, and methods are
founded on the Latin.
The book is based on experiments in
working out a. practical Latin English
course which were carried on in Ken
lucky some years ago and later at
Chicago university by Professor Grin
stead Later he spent a year at the
University of Wisconsin applying the
course in the Wisconsin high school.
The course is now being tested again in
the Kentucky State Normal school.
