have known all along that Frank Rushton, our gallant field marshal and great Rotarian, was one of Birmingham s pest assets.' said Hale Tarrant, "and now that he is sick, the whole city is in- terested in his recovery.
 Pneumonia is treacherous disease, but we hope that the skill of his physi- clans and careful nursing will soon put nm on his feet ready for service. He Is born leader and we need him to lead us in other great war campaigns yet to come"

No Increase in Taxes


 Tt seems mighty hard to get some peo- pie to understand that three 3-mill tax proposition to be voted on Monday does not mean any increase in the sum now being paid by Birmingham property own ers,'i said Commissioner John R. Hor- nady.
 Yet it is a very simple proposition. The facts are that the people have been paying 10 mills in the city, mills for general purposes and mills for sinking fund purposes. If the election carries next Monday, the people will continue to, pay only 10 mills, but it will be di- vided as follows: Five mills for general purposes, mills for the sinking fund, and mills for education. It's merely taking money out of one pocket, where it is not needed, and transferring it to another pocket, where it is badly needed I am glad that the greater part of the voters are beginning to see that it does not mean any extra burden of taxation but does provide means necessary to carry on the grammar schools and build the high schools. I think large ma jority will be piled up for the 3-mfll tax if those who understand it will take the trouble to explain it to those who do not"

 T left Birmingham. a mighty patriotic town, to take up work in south Ala bama,' said Rev E. G.

 We are good way from the firing line and we don't have as many great men to come and stir us up as do the Birminghamers but Samson and Ge- neva county are behind President Wilson and can both be counted on to do their parts when Uncle Sam needs anything they have"

This is very personal war for DR..
Anton Rubin of Chicago. a represen-

company. who was in Topeka on BUSH
ness today. For Doctor Rubin just
received word few days ago that his
brother and sister had been killed nv
German soldiers in their home in
Lithuania. Their deaths occurred sew
eral months ago.
They were killed because they re-
fused to give food to German soldiers.
when they had no food for them
selves" said Doctor Rubin. why
should the Germans expect the world
to feed them?"
Doctor Rubin's mother. more than
eighty years old. was deported many
months ago by the Germans. and he
has not heard of her since,
'That Is the kind of treatment we
can expect here If the Germans should
| come to this country" said Doctor
Rubin. Many of you do not prop
erly appreciate your own country, but
we foreign born people who have come
here have learned to love it and
would die for it,"
Doctor Rubin Is well over the draft

the army and wants to avenge his
murdered relations.

FIGURES GIVEN OUT BY BAKER
"We Are Returning Aid Given

We're Secretary's Words in Ad-
dress to "Blue DEVILS"

Washington, June 11.-More than
100000 American soldiers have gone
overseas to carry back to France the
encoura cement and assistance which
Lafayette and Rochambeau brought
to America Secretary Baker told the
French Alpine chasseurs in bidding
them farewell here Monday at the
base of the Washington monument.
The war secretary's last announce
ment some weeks ago concerning the
size of the American forces abroad
was that 100000 men had sailed for
the battle front.
The Alpine chasseurs, better known
as the Blue Devils of France, came
to America last month to assist in the
third liberty loan campaign and since
have toured the south and middle
west They were reviewed and re-
ceived by the secretary of war before
leaving for Baltimore, Newark, New
York and Boston on their way back to
their native land. Attending the ex-
ercises were NJ. Jusserand, the French
ambassador, representative OF the
French high commission, Mr.. Bakers
staff and many government OFFICIALS
In a few more weeks he VIII be
able to announce the passing of the
million mark and it is assumed he
will withhold his next statement until
he has reached this good round num-
Der.
The secretary had intended waiting
a while longer before making his an
nouncement, but under the inspiration
of a talk to French Blue Devils here,
he decided to publish these figures.
Men in charge If transportation de-
clare the U-boats have had absolutely
no effect upon June shipments Their
coming only made these men grit their
teeth and say "go ahead" And this
is what they are doing. Their theory
was that any relaxation in troop and
supply transport would be a confess
sion of weakness. merely playing into
Germany's hands.
However. more June tonnage is
taken up with supplies than was the
case in May. This means that the
June troop figures will probably be
somewhat lower than May figures
tho it was stated that the advance
schedule contemplated making May a
banner month and June a lower one

strength and that she will stay In it
until Germany and the kaiser have
been whipped to their knees.
