The committee as appointed by the mayor Is a citizen’s committee al- though at the same time it contains members of the common council and veterans of the Spanish-American war. The committee as named is as fol- lows: Aldermen O. F. Curtis and H. P. Richards; Charles F. Smith, Judge B. F. Gaffney, William F.| Brooks, George P. Spear, Howard L. Platt, E. Allen Moore, Manlius Norton, E. W. Pelton, Judge William F. Mangan, Burton Moore, Samuel Magson, Barl Kisselbrack, and Leon A. Sprague. Since it was learned that something ¢ definite has been done in preparing for a memorial in the city numerous suggestions have been heard. Many are in favor that this city have some- thing original in the line of a perma- nent memorial. The planting of trees for each hero has been taken up by several towns and citles and would probably be a fitting memorial to this city’s dead. There would be a small placard at each tree bearing the name of the soldier and giving his career and as far as possible the manner in which he met his death. Just how the project will be financed is a matter still to be de- termined. There are those who think | that the entire thing could be paid for by popular subscription. Still others think a plan of small taxation would be better and would permit many of the city’s residents to feel that they have done a little toward erecting the memorial. The latter plan seems better as all the people in the city are interested enough in the erection of this memorial to Stand the small tax which would be called for. 1 i 1} ecver seen.

Saloniki, Dec. 20.—The opening up | of Bulgaria to the Allies has caused the release of $6,000,000 worth of American-owned tobacco in the towns of Seres, Drama and Kavalla on the Greek coast of the Aegean Sea bor- dering Turkey, occupied by the Bul- { gars until their surrendor. The trans portation of this supply may materi- ally affect the shortage in high-grade tobacco. Since the beginning of the war huge new acreages in Greek Macedonia have become the principal tobacco source of Burope. The Greeck crop | has increased 75 per cent. during the war. The lahor = skilled Turkish growers who escaped from Smyrna and European LTua produce tobacco in Greece for the tente armies. comas main L En- MILK PROBLEM SOLVED IN ONE ITALIAN CITY Milan, Dec. 20.—Milan, Italy, has adopted municipal milk control as an emergency war time measure.
