Aug. 30.— On the 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 haR 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 be September 19-20. the fif tieth anniversary of the battle of CThickama uga, whir' came so near halting the Invasion of the South by the Army of the Cumberland. Great Reception Planned. Chattanooga has made mammotn preparations for the entertainment of the veterans of the blue. As soon as the Confederate reunion closed last May and the G. A. R. had accepted Chattanooga's invitation the people of the Tennessee city began making their arrangements. One hundred thousand persons at tended the Confederate reunion. To care for them was n gigantic task, and it is expected that at least 300.000 will attend the encampment. Always from 200,00a to 000,000 peo ple have attendee these meetings of the G. A. R., but never has a meeting been held in a city so ripe with his toric interest as Chattanooga, or a city where the personal viewpoint ap peals to so many. In view of this enormous influx of Visitors, the executive committee of the Incorporated Encampment Asso ciation Is composed In large part of the leaders who served in similar ca pacity in May. The records, proper ties, employees and experience are all carried forward into the new organi zation. thus assuring that blunders due to inexpelrence will be obviated.

S. SENATE 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 v\as re ferred to the Finance Committee for further consideration after that com mittee had amended it to permit the admission of feathers «»f aJI birds killed as pests and feathers of gtone 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 Rome parts of the world, due to ignorance of their value, and as 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 llized countries as will prohibit the use of feathers taken from any wild bird as an article of commerce Insects’ Toll a Billion. "The United .States loses $1,000.- I OOO.OOCT^yearly through harmful in- se< ts, Georgia $40,000,000, and birds are the only check to the insects. It requires 250,000 bushels of 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- i ope. "The destruction of bird life in any 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 arc- 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 world that every civilized government has been forced to pass laws conserving the birds within their boundaries.” DEED DATED 1756 IS FILED; HANDED DOWN IN FAMILY PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 30—A deed that was recently recorded in the Re corder's office in Lancaster shows how old country families cling to ancestral acres.

Municipality Adopts Charter Plac ing Responsibility for Affairs on One Man’s Shoulders. 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 in active charge of a department. To complete the balance of power, tha people are given the right to the ini tiative, referendum, protest and re call. An intergral part of the Dayton 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 cho»en 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 is 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 socir’ welfare, which, in addition to supervising the depart ments of health, parks and play grounds, must make 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 Commts sion into the government of Nev/ York, Philadelphia and Cincinnati. The new charter will take effeot 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 Idea.
