a few weeks ago the details re-
fr,rcd to In this dispatch would have
been almost within the prescribed
area of military secrecy, but recently
the War Department has permitted

danger attendant upon publicity.
These details are that Mny will see
the transport of about 100000 men
abroad. That ia practically assured
by the present rate of flow.
Even better news remains to bo
told and that is that June will cover
the sending Of fully 100000 men. The
plans, fully worked out, with possi-
bilitics Of failure guarded against as
we'll MS may be, call for the move
mcnt of 900 men to France and
Britain.
AT TINT rate Christmas will be cell
ebratcd over there by something like
2,000,O0 of our fighters, large num-
bcr Of whom will be actually in the
trenches with the others in training
camps. And each man who goes will
cary his full personal equipment, the

When Canine for Market.

Housewives and canning club MEM
bers who wish to sell their canned
products are urged by the bureau OF
markets, United States department Of
agriculture, to study their markets at
the beginning of the season and pack
according to local demands for differ
ent products. Secure orders for canned
goods before putting them up, is the
advice of the specialists. Small lots
of nonstandardized products are diff
cult to sell except among local buyers
and are not purchased by the army,
navy, commercial dealers, or any de
partment of the government.
Home-canned food can be kept over
from one season to the next, and those
who have not sold their goods have
reserves to draw from for their home
table. 1t is good policy, say the spe-
cialists, for the housewife TO provide a
reasonable surplus beyond the prob
able home consumption for the next
crop year. While the bureau Of mar
kets is giving aid TO producers on mar
ketfAg problems, it says that it is diff
cult to place producers of small guam
titles OF different kinds OF products in
touch with buyers.

CITYS GLORY LONG DEPARTED
Ruins Testify to Existence OF Once
Mighty Metropolis in Southeast
ern Africa.

In n far-off corner Of southeastern
Africa are hidden the ruins Of a once
mighty city, called in present times
the Zimbabwe, or buildings OF stones.
The more fanciful Of the scientists de-
clare that the time of Moses may have
seen the building OF these crumbling
walls, but the weight OF evidence
seems to prove that the city is only
about ten centuries old. Whatever the
true dates of the city's history, certain
" its ruins today are in appearance
very old, very moss hung and very pic
tureSQue.
There is nothing sad about the slip
ping away OF these relics OF the past,
so gradually they have sunk into the
soil and broken down with the pres
sure Of time and weather. Their day
OF glory and prosperity was ever some
centuries ago, and they rest dreamily
in the sunshine. Bright flowers deck
the walls as Of trying TO hold the re-
naming stones together; and tall trees
spread their branches wide TO temper
the heat OF the midday sun and shell
