This is particularly interesting in

where it was decided to require each
member to pay 81 per year into the
national treasury, in return for which
the member will receive the weekly.
The printing of more than a million
copies of this magazine per week will
be one of the biggest contracts of its
kind in Washington, outside of the
government printing Office.
AS a result of this expansion in it's
circulation the magazine will in
crease it's size to meet the increased
demand for advertising space, and
will broaden its editorial department..
Able writers and editors of more than
ordinary ability have made this pub

The increased dues, which include
a subscription to the weekly. will be-

issue why there is troubles in regard
to the delivering of mails. Last De-

454,700 letters to the folks back home,
as this number was received at the
forwarding station at Bordeaux. The
post office service had 80 experienced
clerks at this station alone sorting mail
ON account of uncertain addresses, A.

much of the trouble in the slow deliv-

where some one in this country cabled
