Springfield H., August 19.-Fear and terror prevailed in the homes of Spring field negroes tonight. The departure of two regiments of infantry today and the announcement that two more organ izations will be sent home tomorrow caused consternation among the col ored residents.
 "The mob will be here sure if those soldiers go away" they said, and dele gations were hastily organized and sent to the state, county and city officials to protest against relaxation of the military regiments.
 The efforts of the authorities to quiet this feeling were only partially suc- cessful and in many humble homes call or challenge of a sentry sent quivers of alarm among the watchers.
 Scores of the terror stricken blacks sought refuge in the arsenal. Early in the evening almost twice as many ap- plications for shelter had been received there as on previous nights and about 300 negroes curled up in the corners of the balcony, sleeping on the floor or in chairs
 The exodus of negroes, which had begun to abate, was renewed, trains and trolley cars were used by those fortunate enough to possess little money, but many of the unfortunates took to the road. tramping across the country in a drizzling rain until ex- l.. corn fields or in wood lots. The chill dren and old people who were driven to the open, suffered heavily and 1t Is feared that many of them will suc- cumb to the hardships.
 Adjutant General Scott insisted that there is no good ground for fear of the negroes.
 There are plenty of troops here to- night, and the force that will be available tomorrow, about 1900 men, can certainly protect the city against any mob that may form. Then, too, the presence of the large body of soldiers was irritating some sections of the community, and there was element of trouble there that could not be overlooked"
 This opinion was indorsed in other quar- ters It was pointed out that the rioting was overcome before the last regiment had reached the city, and attempts to re- new lawlessness had occurred before the soldiers were thoroughly familiar with the territories that they are now covering. It is asserted that 150O men can easily hold the advantage that the larger body of troops has gained, and the addition of the cavalry has increased the mobility of the troops to such a degree that the presence of the full force is absolutely unneces- sary.

CRITICAL FRENCHMAN.
He Says Wright's Aeroplane Is Mere
 Toy.

Paris, August 19.-Gabriel Versn, local manufacturer of aeroplanes, was interviewed today regarding the aero plane being used by Wilbur Wright of Dayton, O., for his experiments near Lemans The Frenchman said he thought the Wright machine an admissible thing for sport, but not useful practically or commercially, chiefly because of it's great size. which does not permit it to make turns easily.
 M. Versin is of the opinion that the success of the French triplanes will be found in their stability. M Versin ex- poets soon to complete a new G0-horse- power aeroplane for Henry Farman. which will fly 60 miles an hour.

Do You Ask Why?

Does the reader ask why the necessity for all this? Where is there danger? And the answer comes, remember the bloody deeds committed by the ambushed vil- lains on this spot just a few days before. The sovereign state simply declares such deeds shall not again be committed.
 And yet It is hard, very hard that the act of ordering, fostering and encourag- ing a coal miners strike should cause such conditions to arise as to make nec- essary this burden upon the whole peo- pie. Somebody is to blame for it all.
