DIXIE SOLDIERS ARE INVITED Great Preparations Made to En tertain 300,000 Visitors at Historic Battlefield. CHATTANOOGA, Aug. 30.—On thP very spot that veterans of the Con federacy celebrated their twenty-third annual reunion Just three months ago the Grand Army of the Republic will hold Its forty-seventh encampment, and the land on which the meeting takes place has been hallowed by the blood of men who wore the gray and soldiers of the blue. For the first time since the close of the struggle between the States the Grand Army holds its encampment on Southern soil. It is regarded • s typically fitting that the place is Chattanooga, around which many of the most spectacular battles were fought. It is held as no less fitting that the time will he September 19-20, the fif tieth anniversary of the battle of Chickamauga, whir' came so near halting the invasion of the South by the Army of the Cumberland, Great Reception Planned. Chattanooga has made mammoth preparations for the entertainment of the veterans of the blue. As soon .<s j the Confederate reunion closed last j May and the G. A. R. bad accepted j Chattanooga's invitation the people j the Tennessee city began making I their arrangements. One hundred thousand persons at tended the Confederate reunion. T > I care for them was a gigantic task, and it is expected that at least 300,000 i will attend the encampment. Always from 200,000 to 000,000 peo- ' pie have attendee these meetings of the G. A. R., but never has a meeting J been held in a city so ripe with his- l toric interest as Chattanooga, or a 1 city where the personal viewpoint ap- ! peals to so many. In view of this enormous influx of visitors, ih*- execut ve committee of the Incorporated Encampment Asso- ■ elation is composed in large part of j the leaders who served in similar ca- I parity in May. The records, proper- | ties, employees and experience are all carried forward into the new organi sation, thus assuring that blunders due to inexpeirence will be obviated. Many Historic Scene: Of the historic scenes around Chat tanooga Chickamauga may well be placed at the front. On this field there fell, in round numbers. 35.000 j meip which, when divided, shows about 25 per cent of each army and 33 per cent on each side for the troops actually engaged. Then there are Lookout Mountain, the scent of a thrilling charge by the Federal troops j against obstinnte defense; Missionary Ridge, stormed by the Northern troops j without orders, and taken. Casual ties in all the battles of the Chatta nooga district numbered about 47,000. Part of the field of Chickamauga Is now occupied by a garrison of United States regular troops, this post soon to be increased for a brigade. Many thousand acres form a Govern ment reservation, the Chickamauga- Chattanooga National Military Park, on which there are 2,000 memorials and monuments. Silent testimony to the military op erations around Chattanooga is found tn the National Cemetery, where lie buried about 12,0 0 soldiers; and in a well-ordered Confederate cemetery, where an attractive entrance ani large monument mark the South's devotion to her beloved defenders. Dozens of special entertainment features are being arranged. Chief among the events w be a sham bat tle between regiments of the regular army on Chickamauga field, conclud ing at historic Snodgrass Hill. This Is sure to be of intense interest to the old soldiers. Signal fires will be lighted every evening on Signal Point, reproducing the beacons that burned during the long campaign of 1863. “Battle Above Cloudy.” Another spectacular feature will be a reproduction of the “Rattle Above the Clouds” in fireworks on Lookout Mountain, 2,500 feet above the sea level and 1,500 feet above the vallev in which Chattanooga is situated It is planned to be one of the great est fireworks spectacle ever staged in the United States. A collision between two passenger trains, a steamboat reception and dinner to visiting officials of the G. A. R. and hydroplane flights will also be features. There also will be a number of regimental and brigade re unions during encampment week. Wilder’s brigade will hold a reunion, as will also the Army of the Cum berland. Many of the regiments that fought in the Chattanooga battles will hold reunions, the dates to be announced later. * While the encampment is in no sense a Joint reunion of the blue and gray, as was held July 4 at Gettys burg. title soldiers of the North are anxious that the veterans of the South fraternize with them during the meeting Colonel Adam Foust, of Warren.

LONG REACH, CAL., Aug. 30.—In an effort to accomplish what has j heretofore been declared impossible by scientists, bringing to maturity a baby devilfish, will be attempted by I>r. W. S.

Girl Sunday School Teacher Also Forger Dual Life of Pittsburg Young Woman Is Bared in a Remark able Confession. Halt Tariff Amendment That Would Admit Plumage From All Species Outside America. Friends of bird protection won a victory in the Senate when the feath er provision in the tariff bill was re ferred to the Finance Committee for further consideration after that com mittee had amended it to permit the admission of feathers of all birds killed as pests and feathers of game birds The provision originally barred feathers of all wild birds, except os trich feathers, and feathers of do mestic poultry. “Inasmuch as practically all birds are killed as pests in some parts of the world, due to ignorance of their value, and ns most birds are like wise killed as game birds, somewhere or other, by different races of men. the passage of this amendment would remove protection from all the birds of the world which live beyond our bounds, ’ declares James H. Rice, Jr., field agent of the Audubon Society. “The Audubon Society seeks to bring about such legislation in all civ. I lllzed countries as will prohibit the I ' use of feathers taken from any w r ild bird as an article of commerce. Insects’ Toll a Billion. “The United States loses $1,000,- 000,000 yearly through harmful in sects, Georgia $40,000,000, and birds are the only check to the insects. It requires 250,000 bushels o$ insects a day to feed the birds of Georgia. In sects are largely migratory. The boll weevil came from Guatemala; the cabbage butterfly from the Malay Ar chipelago; the gypsy moth from Eu- tope. “The destruction of bird life in any I part of the world will affect every | other part, because the insects, if not checked, will multiply enormous ly and must migrate for food. Kill 300,000,000 in Year. “The objection to the slaughter yearly of 300,000,000 birds for their plumage becomes stronger by reason of the fact that most of the birds whose plumage is used in commerce are killed during the nesting season, when they are tame and their plum age has an added luster. Many, like the snowy heron, known as aigrettes, have a special nuptial plumage bridal dress. “So heavy has been the agricultural loss of the w'orld that every civilized government has been forced to pass laws conserving the birds within their boundaries.” WILL»CITI Municipality Adopts Charter Plac ing Responsibility for Affairs on One Man’s Shoulders. plan of government is the short non partisan ballot and the elimination of ward lines. At the same time a long list of petty offices are taken off the ballot and made appointive. Under the new’ plan the commissioners are chosen for a four-year term, half of the body being elected every two years. This feature of concentrating responsibility in the hands of a few men was desperately fought by all of the old party machines. The administration of the city 19 divided into five departments, the heads of -which are appointed by the Manager. All remaining city officers are subject to civil service appoint ment. A unique feature is the creation of a department of socle’ welfare, which, in addition to supervising the depart ments of health, parks and play grounds, must makj inquiries into the causes of poverty and disease in the city, and make recommendations to the legislative body. The new charter Is also unusual in providing for the complete adminis trative machinery of the city, de signed In harmony with the most ad vanced Ideas of city management. Plans are made for a scientific bud get, complete auditing of city ac counts. a modern accounting system, purchasing agent, standardization of city supplies, time and service records and many other advances. These in novations are the result of investiga tions made by the Charter Commls sion into the government of New York, Philadelphia ;.nd Cincinnati. The new charter will take effect January 1, 1914. The charter is said to be the most advanced ever adopted by an Ameri can city. Dayton is the first city of any size in the country to acquire a city manager, and the first to com bine the best features of the old com mission plan with the manager ldso.

DAYTON, Aug. 30.—Following the adoption of the decidedly new form of city government, Dayton is now looking about for a competent man to assume the position of “City Man ager,” upon whom will devolve the whole duty of managing the affairs of the municipality when the charter becomes operative next January. In addition to the City Manager, the charter provides for five commission ers, but their duties will be purely legislative. There is no diffusion of responsi bility as seen in the straight commis sion plan w’here each commissioner is active charge of a department. To complete the balance of power, the people are given the right to the ini tiative, referendum, protest and re call.
