PREBLE COUNTYJAX OFFICIALS COMPLETE SERIES OF MEETINGS
EATON, O., Aug. 5 Preble county's budget commission completed its meetings Thursday with township, village and school board authorities for the purpose of ascertaining their needs in the fixing of the 1921 tax rate in the various taxing divisions of the county. Little change will be made in the rates, as compared with last year, according to the stated belief of County Auditor S. C. Hunt, member of the commission. The village of Camden may show a slight increase in the rate over last year, but probably in some of the divisions the rate will be a trifle lower, but in no instance will the rate exceed two per cent, is the expressed belief of the auditor. Absent Voters File. Seven ballots to be cast in the nominating primary next Tuesday by as many voters who will be absent from Eaton on that day were filed Thursday with Ola Potts, clerk of the election board of Preble county. The ballots, properly marked and sealed, were filed by seven members of the local company of Ohio Federal guards, who will leave next Sunday with the company" for 14 days camp at Camp Perry.

CAPTURED
(Continued from Page One.) tars is 60. As the state has fifteen members of congress, thirteen representatives and two senators, each member of her congressional delegation would be entitled to four pieces of ordnance, far less than enough to meet the demands which have been placed upon each Indiana congressman. In the sixth district each of the eight county seats, including Richmond, and the towns of Centerville, Cambridge City and Knightstown,
have asked for one of Kaiser Bill's cannon. " There will be 274 German machine guns available for Indiana, however, which means eighteen for each congressional district. There will be also 1.920 German rifles for distribution in Indiana and many thousand pieces of Small Oantnrpd war nrHHaa siirh na
Dayoneis, wound badges, reed bags, kit bags, bits, machine gun belt boxes, canteens, ammunition cases, artillery vehicles, grenade throwers and other things too nmuerous to list. Already members of congress are beginning to wonder how they will ever be able to make an equitable distribution of the firreat ouantitv nf war
relicts which will be at their disposal
m tne event the senate agrees to accept the plan proposed by the house for a division of the captured articles. The 60 Dieces Of German artillprv
ordnance available for distribution in Indiana are listed as follows: Guns and howitzers 11 75-mm., 12 105-mm., 12 150-mm., four 210-mm.; trench mortars 11 76-mm., four 170-mm., one 240-mm., and five 245-mm. Socialist Offers Suggestion. An amendment offered to the house

taining captured ordnance or materials to pay the transportation costs from the point of shipment ' to the
point or nnai delivery was rejected. Secretary of War Weeks estimates that it will cost the government approximately $550,000 to distribute the trophies, and an additional $60,000 to paint ordnance which hag been stored in the open. During the debate on the bill Representative London of New York, a Socialist, suggested that all of the ca tured ordnance and materials be dumped into the ocean. Although there were 4,764.071 men who served in the military forces of the United States during the late war only 79 of them won the most coveted of all military decorations, the congressional medal of honor, according to a report which has been made public by the war department. No Indiana soldier received this decoration. Those who were awarded the medal of honor, which is, unlike other American decorations for valor, worn about the neck, performed deeds in action "of such a conspicuous character as to clearly distinguish the man for gallantry and intrepidity above his comrades service that involves extreme jeopardy of life or the performance of extraordinarily hazardous duty."
