No thoroughly patriotic American girl
could get the maximum of pleasure out
of a bouquet of Gruss an Teplitzes, even
II their stems were six yards long.
The movement to change tie names
of such flowers was started by the
Park Garden Club. of Flushing, l.. l..
where the suggestion that roses would
smell much sweeter to 100 per cent
American noses II they didn't bristle
with German, was adopted by unani-
nous consent.
1T is quite conceivable" says Mrs.
II. A. Vivian, vice president of the club,
that as the war continues and its ef-
fects are brought home to us more and
more, rose growers will refuse to raise

YATES
OUT FOR CONGRESS
Illinois Republicans Pla
Ticket Free From Taint of
Disloyalty
Sprinxfield. Ill. June II.

Richard Yates. former Governor Of
Illinois, has announced his candidacy
for Congress The unanmity of sup
port behind Mr.. Yates. apparently YIELDS
the Republicans. outside of Chicago, be-
hind a State ticket that will be free
from any tant of disloyalty and tnat
will be of such character that Repub-
leans generally can give to it their
support at the September IL primaries.
This suggestion has been made re-
peatedly by men from all parts Of IL
linois who have been in Springfield
during the last forty-eight hours. Leader
after leader in private conversations has
deplored the entrance Of Congressman
Foss as a senatorial aspirant for the
reason that his campaign. II forced
through the downstate counties, would
tend to rekindle factional contests over
legislative and county nominations, to be
settled at the senatorial primary that
have been forgotten during the war
period. -..
Downstate Republicans deplore a pri-
mary now, which they thought had
been eliminated by the dCclination Of
former Governor Dsneen to be cand1-
GATE Tor the senate, and the quietly eX-
pressed determination is that the Foss
campaign shall not be permitted to m
balance the situation as it existed until
last week.
Evidence indicates that Medill Nc
Cormck as the party's nominee for
Senator is the desire OF Republicans who
want a 100 per cent ticket of loyal cam
didates and a peaceful primary. whh
the war as its crisis. The same is true
of Fred f. Sterling, of Rockford, chair
man of the Republican State commit
tee, who has started strenuously after
the nomination for State Treasurer.
The suggestion is made that Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction Francis
G. Blair is entitled to a denomination,

S7TH DIVISION AGAIN
in TRAINING AT DIX
Returns From Camp Pike,
Bringing With 1t Same
French Officers

Camp Dix, WriEhtstown. n. j.. June IS.
The work Of training the Eighty-sey-
enth Division is now under way at Camp
Dix The division. which is under COM
mand of Major General Samuel ID. Stur-
gis, is composed of men from Louisiana
and the southern States and consists
Of the 345th, 346th, saith and S4Sth in
fantry regiments; S34th, 335th and 336th
artillery regiments the 3l2th engineers
and various trains, together with the
3l2th Signal Corps and hospital units.
This new organization came here from
Camp Pike, Ark. and queer turn Of
fate also brings back to Dix the French
officers who instructed the early ar
rivals here in trench warfare and were
then assigned to Camp Pike, only to
come back again when the division re-
turned here.
A new system of service and drill
calls has been put into effect at Dix.
and the result is that the men will have
to work an hour earlier. as the rising
hour will be at 5:45 a. m. instead Of
o'ips bTedkIdst VIII De at o.lo instead
OF $3.50. Dinner will be served at noon,
as usual. while supper call will be
sounded at 6 o'clock instead of $3.50.
An evidence OF the speed with which
rockies are being trained at Camp Dix
was given yesterday when 5000 rockies,
commanded by Major Walton A. Green,
Of the Tenth Battalion. passed in re-
view before Major General Hugh L.
Scott and his stafr. Although the men.
who are from western New York, have
been here only two weeks they made a
mighty fine impression. Nearly all of
them wore uniforms and carried rifles.
The music for the marchers was fur
nished by the rookie band from the
same battalion. the members of which
purchased their own instruments.
