One can we'll believe that they will not survive if we with draw the relief which has heretofore been so generous from the private American purse.

The Story of Our States Dy JONATHAN BRACE XIII.-RHODE ISLAND
 }: } < < : : ; ]: '| ''' ' ; ] M NTV NA name of this Ns NNI RU state. As can MM NA~ be seen from
 &S~W the state seal,
 .oss the official name is the "State of Rhode Island and Providence Planta- tions." It originated from two distinct settlements. The first was made by Roger Williams in l636. He was the pastor of a church in Salem. AS he advo- cated radical reforms he was ordered to return to England, but fed to the Narragansett tribe of Indians. From them he obtained a tract of land and called the town which he estab- lished Providence, in token of Gods mercy which had so far provided for him.
 About the same time Mrs. Anne Hutchinson and her fol- lowers were expelled from Mas sachusetts on account of theo- logical dispute. She made her way to the island of AQuidneck, which she purchased from the Indians for 40 fathoms of white wampum, 20 hoes and 10 coats. The name of this island was changed to the Isle of Rhodes, probably after the famous Greek island in the Mediterranean. B. common usage it became ] nown as Rhode Island. In 1862 Charles II gave Rhode Island a very liberal charter, and this re- mained in force until 1S41, when new state constitution was adopted by mass conventions, and two years later another new constitution was legally voted. The change in constitutions caused what was known as Doris rebellion.
 The entrance of Rhode Island into the Union in 1790 completed the list of the original thirteen states. Though Rhode Island is the smallest of all the states, with only 1,248 square miles, 1t is very thickly populated and has five presidential electors, which is more than those of a number of states of much larger territory.

ARMY MOVESOUT

Only Four Cantonments Will
Be Used by Reduced
Forces.

The requirements of economy,

to vacate seven of the war-buili
cantonments. Abandonment of these
camps will involve extensive de-
mobilization er transfer of troops
In outlining this new policy, Sec
retary Weeks announced yesterday
that by the end of July the army
would be reduced to 10000, the
strength set by Congress. That
number practically mas beeen reach

The cantonments to be retained
are Camp Dix. n. J.: Camp Travis,

BRITISH PROPOSAL
THOUGHT TO HAVE
FEDERATION PLAN
Ireland Would Thus Elect
Three Parliaments,
One National.
Especial Cable to The Washington Herald
and Chicago II '5une.)

Especial Cable to The Washington Herald
and Chicago II 'Sune.)
LONDON, July &C. No official an
nouncement has been made yet as
to Prime Minister Lloyd Georges
proposal to Eamonn de Valera for
an Irish settlement. but from a re-
liable sarc IL is learned his plan
involves the Setting up Of fed
eral system In Ireland on the plan
of the United States.
1t is said two parliaments in Ire
land are provided for. one in Ulster
and one in southern ireland, each
mana ging it's own affairs. but sub
iect to an all-lreland parliament in
Dublin, in VIII ch the members of
the lower house are elected on
basis of popular representation and
in the upper there are to be equal
numbers from the two provinces.
This Is said to h> the safeguard
for Ulster so much emphasized by
Lloyd George.
News received in official circles
here from Dublin indicates increas-
ing confidence that there will be a
settlement. Michael Collins, COM
mander-in-chief of the Republican
forces. is said to be in favor of
acceptance and is doing all in his
power to restrain the more ardent
spirits of the Republican army.
The truce is being scrupulously
observed everywhere. De Valera is
reported to have expressed conf
dence in eventual settlement. but he
predicts long negotiations.
Yesterday a thief who was cap
tured by the Republican police was
turned over by them to the regular
Dublin police and II is now sug-
gested that police liaison officers
take the place of the military in
certain districts where the feeling
has been most bitter.
