The majority could not decide with

were no victors to command. no van

agree in translating the consciousness

expression to world opinions.
And you have agreed in spite of all

There has been no baby famine in
the Volga valley. Even during the
six months just passed, when hun
dreds of thousands OF adults and
children have died, the stork has
made a valiant fight to keep apace
with the Reaper. Accurate statis-

an observer in the famine districts
finds on every hand evidence that
the peasant mothers have been

The Samara district, despite the
ravages of famine among children
last autumn, literally swarms with
infants.
Thousands of newborn babies,
thrust upon famine stricken COM

! Strenuous efforts to retain a rev

are being made by citizens and re-
venue department officials. The
office, which has been operated
here for some time, closed at noon
today, under orders from head
quarters delivered Thursday.
An inconvenience both to the
postoffice department and the tax

by the closing of this office, as or

10 YEARS REQUIRED
TO CLOTHE FRENCH
TROOPS IN KHAKI

Paris.-It will require 10 years
to clothe all the French troops in
khaki despite the efforts of the
higher council of war to equip all
branches of the French army in
uniforms OF that color as quickly
as possible.
The delay is due to the fact that
the ministry of war has enough
horizon blue and steel gray cloth
on hand to equip some branches of
the service for 10 years and those
stocks must be used up before
khaki can be adopted. Therefore
the home troops must continue to
wear horizon blue and the I'M
mounted chasseurs steel gray while
colonial and African troops will at
once receive khaki uniforms.
