In the Matter Of 1Iendicancy.

The figures above given concerning
national taxation throw light upon the
question whether the average congress-
mans average constituent is really
robbed. as so often alleged, to ease the
tax burdens OF the mendicants residing
in the District Of Columbia, and are q
fair Offset to the statistical table which
brings home to each citizen Of a state
a specific donation Of beggar's aims to
the capital.
1t appears that the contribution Of
such constituent to the national rev.
enue is often inflnitesimal. and, in the
cases cited, far exceeded by the contrl
button of the Washingtonian himself.

Washington, June 17.-America has
100000 men now overseas, is planning
for an army of 100000 men by Aug
ust, but it's navy is inadequately Off
ceredsand unready to cope with sudden
changes in the character of naval war
fare.
These facts were disclosed here by
Chief of Staff General p. G. March,
Provost Marshal General E. H. Crow
der and Rear Admiral Leigh G. Palmer
in statements before congressional
committees and newspaper correspon-
dents.
Pleas for increases in navy personnel
were made by Admiral Palmer in a
letter to Secretary of the Navy Jose
plus Daniels and forwarded to the
house naval affairs committee. Twen-
ty-seven new rear admirals are need
ed at once, he said, and SO will be
needed by July 1, 1919.
Indicating the rapid enlargement of
the army, General Crowder told the
senate military affairs committee that

hausted early next year and it would
be necessary to begin taking men from

STUCK IN MOUNTAINS
Americans Play Important Parts In
Resisting German Attacks on
West Front-Sammies Now
in AIsace.

London, June 17.-Austria's mighty
offensive on Italian front is "stuck"
in the mountains but has made head
way on the Piave. The Italians, how
ever, are counter attacking vigorous
ly, and the impression gained from
both Vienna and Rome official reports,
as well as from dispatches from cor
respondents at the front, is that Cen
eral DiaZ has the situation we'll in
hand. Nowhere, apparently, did the
Austrian smash catch the Italians nap
ping. The "drive" became almost i'm
mediately battle, and it is still rag
ing fiercely on 1O0-mile front.
Fighting in France since the failure
of the fourth German offensive to
make further advances has become a
series of local operations, battles of
no small Importance in themselves in
that they are preparatory to resump-
ton of hOstilities on vast scale. In
these operations, the Americans yester-
day played their part on at least three
different sectors.
In the Toul sector, Americans repuls-
ed a raiding battalion Of German shock
troops, who had penetrated the town
of Xivray, only to be driven out by a
smashing return blow of the Ameri-
cans.
In the newest part of the line held
by the American forces, in German
Alsace, down near the Swiss border,
Yankee machine gunners and riflemen
yesterday repulsed another deter
mined German raid.
Northwest of Chateau Thierry three
raids by Germans on American out
posts were defeated.

Termed "spIendid."

London, June 17.-German subma,
rine activity off the coast of the
United States should not be taken too
seriously, as the Germans probably
will not attempt a blockade of the
American shores. This is the opin.
ion of Vice Admiral Sir Rosslyn
Wemyss, first sea lord of the Births

marine is operating off the American
coast and that Its purpose was to
brighten the Americans.
German ruthlessness at sea, the
first sea lord declared. must be met
by centralized warfare in the North
sea and the Mediterranean.
Defeat OF Plan Seen.
"1n sending so-called submarine
cruiser TO the American coast, the
Germans thought to raise an outcry
in the United States against the
policy of fighting the submarines id
the narrow seas.
"Well, 1t looks as though they had
merely brought the war home to the
American people. That represents
another defeat for the Germans.
Praises U. s. Navy.
"You know. of course" the first sea
lord continued, that for more than
a. year American men of war have
been operating from Queenstown
American ships also are in the Medi.
terTanean.

markable testimonial to the strategic
insight of the American naval author.

opportune moment. Our men had been
in the mill for many weary months.
Possibly the American people can
hardly appreciate what It meant when
these American officers and men
crossed the Atlantic.
"They have been splendid, simply
splendid. The most cordial co-opera-
tion exists. 1t was no slight matter
for so many ships to come 5000 miles
across the Atlantic. There has never
been anything like 1t before in the
history of naval warfare. The modern
man Of war is dependent on a con.
slant stream Of supplies of fuel,
stores, food and other things and ia

Transport Service Unframed.

"Those results have been achieved
by concentration of effort"

Early Egyptian Wills.

Precious little is known about the
manner of settlement of disputes pos
sible to arise from disagreements con-
nected with the execution of wills ut
the earliest date in Egyptian history.
That there were law courts, disputants
and judges is beyond doubt, although
exact pictures of law courts are ex-
ceedingly difficult to imagine. Since
Wills were perhaps common only
among the most wealthy mobiles, there
would be little reason to believe that
trials which might result from them
did not sometimes take place.

Foe VIII Regret, Says Miner.

Rome, June 16.-Pope Benedict
Lord Miner, speaking at the Y. M
G. A. headquarters on the coming OF
the American army, said: 1--WE are
at the climax of Germany's power
and therefore have to fight as never
before. like the noble French until
the great reserve which the cause of
freedom possesses is modified. l
see the German war minister is sheer.
ing at those reserves, saying they are
uncomfortable. He laughs best who
laughs last. think he will live to

ment from Berlin published by the

view of previous unpleasant expert

Two More Vessels Sunk.

Washington, June 17.-Germany's
sea wolves have sunk two more neu-
trail vessels in American waters. The
latest victims of raiders which first
made their appearance off the Atlantic
coast some three weeks ago are the
sailing ship Kringsjaa and the bark
Samoa, both Norwegian. The crew of
the former has been picked up by an
American warship, which is bringing
them to an Atlantic port, and that Of
the latter was landed at Norfolk.

Do Something You Dislike Every Day.

A writer in the American Magazine,
says: There is only one way to keep.
the will active, and that is by exer-
cising it. The will is like the mus
cles, for even the finest of athletes
soon gets out of condition unless he
exercises. A man ought to do every
day something that he does not care
to do, just for the sake of exercising
his will. That sort of exercise keeps
it in condition ready for the harder.
things of life when they occur, and,
above all, prepared for emergencies
that may spring up"
