HELD FOR HAVING
 MILITARY SHIRTS
Officers Are Making Special Efforts to Locate All Property of
 National Guard

Charged with the unlawful possession of government property, N. R. Taylor, white. was given a hearing yesterday before Judge R. B. Watts. United States commissioner. He was arrested on a warrant signed by Sergeant A. M Mill Ter of Company B, Second Infantry regi- ment Alabama National Guard. which charged that Taylor had eight military shirts in his possession which he could not account for. Owing to the disap- pearance of government property from the armories of the several companies of the national guard, the officers are making an effort to locate the missing property. Under the federal law. a per- son is as guilty if he has government property in his possession unlawfully as though he had stolen it, and the local officer states that warrants will be sworn out against all persons having such property who will be required to show how they came in possession of it.
 William Martin, negro, charged with a violation of the anti-narcotic law, was bound over to the federal grand jury under bond of sSOO by Judge R. B. Watts.
 Judge w. T. Grubb will leave for New York today to preside over the United States district court at that point in some important railroad litigation. He will be absent about a month.

LLOYD-GEORGE APPEALS FOR MORE
 WAR MUNITIONS
Says Germans Would Not Be In France Now Were Allied Troops Proper
 ly Equipped

Manchester. Eng, June 3.-Q0.S0 D. m) Declaring that the German, victory in Gslicia was due to an overwhelming su- periority in equipment and that if the allies in the west had been as well equipped the Germans long ago would have been driven from France and Bel gium, David Lloyd George, the new min ister of munitions, made stirring appeal tonight to employers and workmen to supply the British armies with the neees- sary munitions.
 Tie speech was delivered before em- rloyers in the engineering trades and trade unionists Mr. Lloyd-George re- ceived a remarkable ovation which was in striking contrast to the manner in which he had been received in this city on previous visits of political nature. particularly when he appeared at the time of the Boer war as an opponent of that struggle.
 T come" he said, "as an emissary of state to carry the most urgent mes sage ever told to the ears of Man chester audience Our country IS fighting for it's life, for the liberties of Europe. Upon what it does, upon what it is prepared to sacrifice. de- bends the issue It depends more upon the masters and men running work shops than upon any part of the com munity, whether Great Britain will emerge from this colossal struggle beaten, humiliated, stripped of power, honor and influence and a mere bond slave of cruel military tyranny, or whether it will come out triumphant free and more powerful than ever for good in the affairs of men.
 q come here to tell you the truth Unless you know it. you cannot be ex- pected to make sacrifices. Our Rus sian allies have suffered severe set back The Germans have achieved a great success, not because of the su- perior valor of their soldiers oi strategy of their generals. The German triumph is due entirely to superior equipment and overwhelming super fority of shot and shell and munitions and equipment. It was a battle won bS the use they made of their skilled in- dustries, and especially by the superior organization of German workshops
 Two hundred thousand shells wer concentrated in a single hour on the head of gallant Russians. Had we been in position to apply the same process t the Germans on our front, the German would have been turned out of Franc and driven halfway across the devastat ed plain of Flanders. They would hay been well out of the country they ha tortured and tormented with dastard cruelty.
 More than that. we would have actual 1V peretrated into Germany
 For the moment we have more tha plenty of men for the equipment avail able. More men will come to the cal but we want the workshops to equip ther with weapons. The state now needs tn help of all and I am, perfectly certai that British engineers can do what tn French engineers have already done"

To man even this insuffi- cient material we have an enlisted per sonnel insufficient even for that, even In time of peace and no trained re- serve; and no general staff, or similar agency to direct the whole.
 New Vessels Needed
 This means that, reasoning on the as- sumption that the United States desires that the navy shall be able to guard our coast effectively against the only kind u dtidck lHdt WOulu pc made, the navy must obtain several types of vessels and instruments that we do not now possess Cor possess in only insufficient measure); must learn to use them, both as units and as members of one great unit, with a skill at least equal to that with which foreign navies already use them; must enlist and efficiently train a large a force of enlisted men, active .and reserve as loul probable enemy would send; and must | dtatralon a ctaf Ia r agency as skillful and experienced as theirs
 .'We, as naval officers, realize all this, l but this will accomplish nothing unless we make the laymen realize it too. If we I fear to do this, lest we incur displeas-

 are not worthy of the uniform we wear
 and we fail our country in her hour of need, just as etfectually as if we deserted her flag in war
 We must make the laymen realize that | the naval profession has developed greatly within the last 10 years in Europe be-
 cause of the imminence of the awful wal i for which her navies strenuously pre- pared; while we of the United States feeling secure behind the bulwark of the

 MT. Emil Levy played the entrance march as the group of new nurses, dressed in all-white frocks. filed into the hall. The Rev. J. A. Bryan opened the exercises with prayer. Dr. R. F. Lovelady. president of the board of revenue made the general address. He dwelt at length on the good work which the graduate nurses were des- their noble calling.
 At the conclusion of Dr. Lovelady's $ address, Mrs. R. T. Williams rendered an alto solo, which was beautiful. Dr. J. Ross Snyder made an address to the
 class of 1915, and MT. Clyde Lovelady
 rendered a violin solo of rare charm The presentation of the diplomas to the post graduates was made by Dr. E. P. Hogan, at the conclusion of which Mrs. Ellen c. Turrentine rendered a beautiful solo.
 The address to the post graduates was given by Dr.. James S. McLester and the Rev. J. A. Bryan gave bene- diction After the exercises were over the nurses and their friends repaired to the lawn where refreshments were served
 Miss Lucille Dugan. superintendent of nurses, in speaking of the exer- cises said: This is the eighth year the Hfllman hospital has turned out a class | of graduate nurses under the supervi- | sion of the board of revenue. Until 190T | the hospital was run as a private in stitution. I mean by that, the hospital was not county one. This years class | is an unusually bright one and I an gratifed at the number which received | their degrees It takes three years fol
 a nurse to receive her certificate, ther l if she continues in training for an other year-she is awarded a diploma 1 At this years exercises we had foul who received certificates and six wht received their degrees. I am of the opinion that most of them will continu' | in the service of the hospital. The Hill
 man hospital has a great work to d' and thus far I believe everyone ha. done the work conscientiously. It Il certainly great pleasure to see st
 many charming women reach the eli
 max of their profession. and to know | that they are fitted to go out and earl
 their living in this busy old bustlins world. I wish to state on behalf o | the class of 1915 as well as myself
 that we are greatly indebted to Mrs R. T. Williams, Mrs. Ellen c. Turren tine, MT. Levy and MT. Clyde Lovelad! for their lovely music which they wer so kind as to furnish for the occa | sion"

Shasta Limited Hits Automobile;
Kills -Four Children, Injuries Driver

Creswell, Or. - The northbound
Shasta Limited of the Southern Pacific
company Sunday strucklan automobile
driven by F. E. Sly in front of his
home here, smashed it to fragments
and killed four small children who oc-
cupied the tonneau, besides injuring
Mr.. Sly so badly that, it is thought he
cannot recover.
The dead: Beulah Morss, aged IL;
George Robinette, aged 8; Vincent
Treanor, aged 8; Dorothy Treanor,
aged 6.
Mr.. Sly is an elderly man. He had
just brought his automobile from the
garage and alighted to open the gate
leading to the Southern Pacific track,
intending to cross the Pacific High
way, when the four children came
along on their way to Sunday school.
They were invited to ride and clamb-
cred into the car. 1t was apparent
that neither they nor Mr.. Sly saw OF
heard the approaching train, for Mr..
Sly got in and ran the automobile onto
the track directly in front of it.
The Mortified witnesses heard {
crash and saw the automobile hurled
high in the air and fall at one side Of
the track. The tr ain sped on without
stopping, its engnie crew unconscious
of what had happened.

What They Sang.

A North side Sunday school teacher
with a class of little girls was trying
to get them to rehearse some songs
for an entertainment. She wanted to
find out what part they sang. Now.
what do you sing?" she asked little
blue-eyed maiden, who replied: well.
brother says sing terrible and papa
says sing horrible, but mamma says
| sing lovely" The teacher tried to
suppress a smile, but the pupils all
looked serious, and especially so
when the little girl next to the blue
eyed maiden got up and said, That's
what l sing, too" However, the class
was organized and their singing
promises to be one of the treats OF
