In Excess Of Estimates.

Of the Army during May show that
333,303 officers and men were en-
barked during the month. This was
considerably In excess Of recent esti-
mates by department officials.
Generalization has returned 2.39l,-
$50 officers and men to civil life. and
on June 3 had reduced the American
forces in Europe to less than 100000.
The speedinE-up process has pro-
ceeded to the point where the War
Department has found 1t necessary to
put on brakes. Commanders Of de-
mobilization centers were told that
instances had been reported of SOL
diers being sent through the camps SO
swiftly as to prevent the finance and
quartermaster officers properly check
ing their records.

HIS COSTLY PLUNGE LASTING
MiIIionaire's Bath In Champagne Pos
sibly Has Made Him Disdainful
Of Humble Water.

A Kansas City man with extensive
interests in the new Texas oil fields
has come back with a new story con-
corning the fOibles and follies of oil
milliOnaires.
''There's a fellow down in the
Ranger field who made couple of
million or so. He never had pos
sessed much money before; probably
had had trouble meeting his grocery
bills and rent. Just as soon as he
got hold Of those millions he made a
firm declaration of his intents and
purposes.
"'Pm gonna 60 over into Louisiana
and take champagne BATH tits new
made millionaire declared.
"And he did. Took bath in the
finest champagne he could buy. Had
cases Of the bubbling stuff brought up
to his hotel suite and dumped into his
bathtub. And now he tells every
body he meets about 1t.
"But the funny part of 1t is that
he seems to have sworn off bathing
altogether after that $1,000 ablution.
Maybe he disdains bathing in mere
water now"

KILLED IN TEXAS STORM
Tornado Sweeps the Lower Rio Grande
Valley of Texas, Doing Great
Damage.

Corpus Christi, Tex.-Fifteen per
sons, including three Americans and
IL Mexicans, were killed Thursday
night when one of the worst tornadoes
ever experienced In Southwest Texas
swept the lower Rio Grande Valley,
demolishing farmhouses and doing
great damage to growing crops.
The storm took its heaviest toll OF
life at Mission, where a shed in which
Mr.. Wick, his wife and four children
and number of Mexicans had taken
refuge from the hurricane collapsed.
Mr.. Wick and two of his children were
instantly killed when the structure
crumpled up from the wind, while
Mrs. Wick was seriously injured. Mr..
Wick and his family were travelling by
automobile when the storm forced
them to seek shelter in the sheet iron
building.
Six miles west of Mission, at Made
70, several adults and two children
are known to be dead, all of whom are
Mexicans.
A Mexican and two children were
killed six miles north of Donna.
The wind was accompanied by heavy
hail, which did great damage to crops
Many farmhouses and other buildings
in the path of the tornado were I'M
rooted. The damage to property in the
upper valley, where the storm spent
its greatest fury, is estimated at close
to 100000, while it is impossible tt
estimate the damage to crops.

Mexico to Use Old Palace.

Mexico City.-The palace of Cortez,
in the suburbs of Coyoacan, is to be
reconstructed by the government and
used as a museum for relics of the
Spanish conquest. The structure, 400
years old, has been allowed to fall into
ruins. In the courtyard are ancient
trees, under which Herman Cortez and
his family were wont to rest. These
are hundreds of years older than the
ancient building itself.
