Although boosting of a long line of American ancestry, he did not favor the United States enter ing the war on the side of the allies and immediately began to agitate in way that was distinct help to the enemy.

GENERAL WOOD
 STATIONED AT
 CAMP FUNSTON

WASHINGTON, D. C., June IT, The war department has announced that General Wood has been as signed to Camp Funston. This is in compliance with the request of Gen. eral Wood, who was rendered the command of the western department with headquarters at San Francisco. The service in the western depart ment is not very active, and Wood asked the department to give him more active field, which was done.
 In a recent speech if the senate Senator Hiram Johnson of Califor- mia called upon the administration to explain why General Wood was being kept in the United States in stead of being sent to France with his division. The senator's desire to see General Wood in more ac. tive service or to have the country know why he was not in it has been partly gratified by the recent action of the war department.
 General Wood at one time had the command of department in the south and before that had great responsibility as the head of the eastern department.

COURT MARTIAL
 OF 0BJECTORS
 NOW APPROVED

WASHINGTON, D. C., June IT, Recent court martial sentences rang ing from IS months to 20 years, which were imposed upon conscien- tious objectors, have received the approval of Secretary of War New ton D. Baker In statement is- sued by the secretary in reference to these men he stated that he fa- vored the return of such men to the countries of their preference af- ter the war.
 The majority of the conscientious objectors who have been tried and sentenced by court martial gave as their excuse for not wishing mili- tary service that they had relatives in Austria and Germany. These req sons were not considered sufficient for these men, who have enjoyed the privileges of the United States, to refrain from helping America in her need.
 The secretary has said that he does not consider the sentences too lenient for the crime and that in his opinion the men should not be allowed to enjoy the freedom of the United States if their heart and patriotism is still with the central powers.

WILL PROTEST
 0NACCOUNT OF
 SHORT RATI0NS

AMSTERDAM, June IA politi- cal strike is arranged for today at Nuremberg as protest against re- duced bread rations. The postpone ment and hampering of the Prus- sian suffragette reform is also brought up and used to promote the strike.
 Since the peace with the Russian Soviet government at Brest Litovsk the Germans have been promised supplies from Ukraine and other Russian provinces in such quanti- ties that the food situation would be improved. The supplies have not met the demand and the situ- ation is steadily growing worse ln- stead of better.
 Nuremberg is one of the largest cities in Bavaria, one of the largest and most important of the German states. It was the last province to accept the Prussian domination and has long been the seat of dissatis- faction.
 Any suffragette movement in the German empire has been blocked by the government Whenever such movements are strong enough to be- come a factor to be recognized the reform has been postponed.

THE WARS COST.

About thisteen billions of dollars
a year are expended by the country
to prosecute the war. Two means
are employed in raising this money
borrowing and taxation. There
is no question as to what the gov
ernment will do; it is a question OF
what it must do. If it needs money
for war purposes, it must have the
money-=-if the people will not lend
it, they must pay it in taxes. And
there is a wide difference in lending
money to the government and in
paying taxes. In the first instance
the money is returned to you with
interest, in the second, it is gone
forever.
The government has raised CON
siderable money by Liberty. bonds
and some by taxation-enough for
the, time, but not enough to keep on
Z If our men in France were to put
up one good fight and stop, refusing
to fight again, they would lose the
J war. We have put up good fights
on teh occasions of thre Liberty
loans, that Of two Red Cross cam
paigns; we must put up another
good fight and another every time
the government calls upon us. We
must fight our part of the battle
here at homie to finish. just as our
men in France are fighting it to a
! finish--to Germany's finish.
