of the advisory board, indicate* a SIO,OOO reduction In costs for May as compared with April. For the month ended April 20, Miss Noone reported she spent $60,000, and for May the outlay totals $50,810.52. Despite these reductions, advisory board merfibers that expenditures still are too high. Every effort must be made to pare the predicted 1931 relief debt, set probably at as much as $700,000 by County Auditor Dunn, to as low a figure as possible, officials declare. Center township's decrease over the last month comes naturally, it is declared, because of the practical elimination of expense for coal for needy- families. During the winter this was one of the largest items in poor relief. Six machine guns can be carried by anew single-seater fighting plane recently tested fn England. It will do 200 miles an hour.

WAR GUILT PURE GUESSING, SAYSEXPERT Secret Report for Senate Holds No One Nation Can Be Blamed. By United Press WASHINGTON, June 11.

-JUNE 11,-1931

pert, prepared In 1925-28 by Dr, C. C. Tansill, noted historian, have been made available to the United Press. Access to the document itself has been denied by Dr. Herbert Putnam, librarian of congress, but Tansill’s three-page introduction summarizes his views - He has & copy of this introduction, and from this the United Press was able to glean the gist of the report. “Nationalism, imperialism and militarism" were given as the underlying causes of the war. After discussing the development of these three forces in Europe prior to the war, he said: “It seems futile, therefore, to attempt to assess the war guilt of the respective nations of Europe. Such attempts would be purely speculative. and would possess no definite value. In recent discussions of this question, many publicist* have abandoned the idea that any particular nation is wholly responsible for the catastrophe of 1914."
