HAVE PLENTY OFBOCHE GUNS
Assertion Made That Every County In the United States That Wants
 Ono Can Have It.

Before the summer heat becomes oppressive and the patriotic Independ- ence day fervor is extinct veterans will have chance to tell the home folks gathered in the town square the mechanism of the captured German cannon or heavy machine gun that will be given the township.
 Last summer requests for such can non were so numerous that 1t was thought there would not be sufficient material for every county in the Unit ed States. But Chairman Kahn, of the house military committee, thinks differently.
 In the house the other day he said there were approximately 1900 cap- tured cannon and 4,OOO abandoned ma- chine guns to the credit of the United States army and that only delay on the part of the war department has prevented general legislation which would grant at least one piece to ev- cry township in every members dis trict. Such a measure be intimated, ought to pass both house and senate before early summer.-Stars and Stripes.

 Trachoma is found in all degrees of severity among infants a few months old, and advanced cases among chill dren from three to six. Such a condi- ton exists nowhere else, except in such lands as Egypt and India, and nowhere there is it so severe as in Aleppo at present.

One of those historic bits stranger than fiction, and one which contains the note of poetic justice too often lacking in ordinary experience, is the recent Inauguration of an effort upon the part of Spain to nationalize and rehabilitate the Jews of Morocco. The king of Spain himself is at the head of the movement, being chief of the honorary presidents and being sec onded by many of the most prominent statesmen of all parties. After three centuries of ostra cism the Jews are to be officially invited to return, as it were. and to resume their position in the evolution of the land.
