G. A. R. Preparing
for Encampment

COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 23.-(By
United Press. THE 53rd national
encampment of the Grand Army of
the Republic, looked forward to by
the veterans as the ''last big meet
ing" of their glorious organization
will be held in Columbus during the
week of September 7-13.
SpGnish-American and World War
veterans, in addition to the various
allied organizations of the G. A.. R.,
will also participate.
President Wilson, General Perish
ing and Secretary of War Baker are
expected to be present. Other prom
inent men invited include Secretary
of the Navy Daniels, General James
H. Wilson and General Nelson A.
Miles, of Civil War fame; General
John L. Glen, known as "the drum
mer boy; Major General Leonard
Wood and General H. L. Rodgers,
acknowledgement.
Columbus churches will throw open
their doors to the veterans, Septem-
Der 7, when patriotic services will be
conducted. September 9, a campfire
will be held at Memorial Hall. The
encampment parade will be the first
in which veterans other than those
of the G. A. R. have been invited to
participate. The Spanish-American
and World War veterans sections will
be an important feature.
Former Governor James E. Camp
bell, director general of the encamp-
ment, said the reunion will practically
be the last flicker of the candle, as
far as the "boys of 81 and '65" are
concerned, as they are rapidly an
swering the last roll call, and it will
not be long until taps are sounded for
those who remain. IN view of this,
he said, every effort is being made
TO make the encampment as complete
as possible.
A one-cent-a-mile rate to the en-
campment has been granted by the
United States railroad administration
to members of the G. A. R., allied or

WASHINGTON, July 30.-Homer s.

 Chairman Cummins said he told the president the country was overwhelm- ingly in favor of immediate ratification of the treaty and it's league of nations covenant without change or reserva- tion. As to the political situation, Mir. Cummings was understood to have been emphatically confident.
 In the states he visited Mr. Cum mings informed the president if the people had an opportunity to vote on the question today, a ten to one ma- jority would be given for the imme- diafe ratification for the league cove nant and without reservation.

They have cut off the American relief supplies and threaten all the remaining Armenians with ex- termination unless additional military protection is afforded, according to dis patches from Major Joseph C.

 Major Green. under date of July 2S sends the following from Tiflis:
 Had a long conference with the Armenian president today. The situa ton is worse. The Turkish army. well prepared. and Tartars are advancing from three sides. If military protection is not afforded to Armenia imme- diately the disaster will be more ter rible than the massacres in 1915, and the Armenian nation will be crushed to the everlasting shame of the allies.
 Relief work is impossible in the present situation unless order is re- stored.
 Cannot something be done to have the British force in the Caucasus in tervene to save Armenian"

 The president saw Senators Gilling- ham. Vermont; Harding, Ohio; tern- aid. Maine and Lenroot, Wisconsin.

WIRE CONTROL
 G0ES BACK TO
 PRIVATE HANDS
Order to Relinquish Federal Supervision of Telegraph and Telephone Lines at Midnight Tonight Signed by Burleson
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, July 30-Govern- ment control of telegraph and tele- phone properties will end at midnight tomorrow night. Orders for their re- turn to private ownership were issued today by Postmaster General Burleson and signed by President Wilson ten days ago.
 MT. Burleson. in a statement accom- panying his order, said sound public opinion ultimately would determine how this trust has been met" and that he was content to abide by the results. Besides this reply to the criticisms of his management of the wire companies the postmaster gen. eral also took a parting shot at the Postal Telegraph company, most of the officers of which were removed several months ago because of what he termed interference with government manage ment.
 The postmaster general did not men, tion the company by name, but said that with one notable exception, the reason for which is thoroughly under stood by those who have kept in- formed" every wire company had given him loyal cooperation
 Under the resolution of congress directing the return of the companies, government fixed intra-sta telephone rates are to remain in force for a period of four months, unless sooner changed by state commissions, but no provision was made as to telegraph rates. Clarence H. Mackay, president of the Postal company, in urging con- gress to provide for speedy return of | the properties, said his company could reduce rates 20 per cent and still earn a profit.
 Control of the wire companies was taken over by the postmaster general as a war measure on Juuly 22, 1918 under a resolution of congress and a proclamation by the president. Administration of the affairs of the companies by the postmaster general led to sharp criticisms in recent months and this found expression in con- 1 gress when the resolution for their re- turn to private management was con- | sidered.
 l In his statement today the postmas 1 ter. general said his labors were Drought to an end with a conscious ness on his part of having at all times i administered these wire systems with | justice and fairness to the employes and owners of these properties, and | in such way as to render the best service possible to the general public | under abnormal conditions"
