We are pleased to report that prac- tically every subscriber of the Daily Independent whom our collector has been able to see this month has CO., operated with the paper in the mat ter of paying one month in advance, which is strictly a government re- quirement.
 We shall be unable to send the pa- per to those who refuse to pay in advance. This ruling has not been made by the editor of the Independ- ent, but by the government, because of the great shortage of paper. They require us to keep our circulation down by fifteen per cent in order to conserve paper, and the amount of our monthly allotment of print paper is based on our report of the number of papers printed every day and whether or not they are paid for in advance. They order that no papers be delivered to delinquent subscrib- CTS. We have lost only four subsrib- CTS so far, and trust that none others will quit, as we shall endeavor to see everyone by the 10th of the present month. Those who cannot be seen will receive mailed statements before the 18th.

EXTRA GUARDS FOR
CAPITOL URGED TO
FOIL BOMB PLOTS

1t was revealed in House debate
yesterday that no measures have
been taken yet by Capitol police TO
prevent a repetition of the Franz
Holt plot OF July =. 1915, when part
OF the Capitol was blown up by q
bomb.
After admitting this crime and the
shooting OF J. Pierpont Morgan, jr.,
Holt killed himself.
Congressman Foss OF Ohio and
Cooper OF Wisconsin demanded II
any steps had been taken TO prevent
cranks finding their way into the
building. Democratic members ad-
mitted that while the building is
guarded nights, anyone is admitted
daytimes without examination.
Congressman Fess said he thought
this a serious mistake, reminding the
House that both branches Of Con-
gress, the Cabinet, and President and
Vice President sometimes are con-
greEated in one Capitol room.
Closer supervision is understood to
be under way.

language. even for private and in
innate matters. is strictly forbidden.
The BUlgarians are nursing this
policy in old Serbia and Macedonia
as well as IN MOravia.
Serbian churchmen have suffered
most under this regime. In many vii

Provost Marshal General Crowder,
in telegram sent to all governors,
congratulates the country for the
teachers in the District OF Columbia
in completing the files OF the 10000
draft registrants. He does this that
an appeal to the county and city su-
perintendents TO pursue this work
and speed 1t up where it is now under
way may be made. His telegram
reached the District building this
morning and is as follows:
1.-The school teachers OF the District
OF Columbia, answering the Presi-
dents call. have completed the occu-
pstional cards Of the thirty thousand
registrants.
These men and women have work
cd night and day. Unhalted and un-
paid.
MANY OF them were stationed in
the District. but were impelled by
the call of the school teachers to the
colors. Far behind the battle line
they have unconsciously forged the
weapons OF victory.
"If they will watch the results OF
their labor as it is transformed into
the army of American effectiveness
which our Government viii use in
crushing German efficiency, they will
feel repaid for their sacrifice.

SURPLUS OF BEEF

A big surplus OF beef cattle will be

that steps be taken Immediately to

"The poor quality OF the corn and
other foods that farmers have been
compelled to use as feed is decreasing
the weight OF the beef cattle, and
naturally the cattlemen are making

The body of the grand duke was
found In canal near Strelitz. and not
