 It has been reported since the ar rest of many negroes Monday, that the officers would also make arrests of white men on the same charge, but when Tuesday passed with no such arrests, it was felt that perhaps the report was unfounded. Yester- days action, therefore, came as a big surprise.

An Important Item Of Preparedness.

An adequate reserve Of medical and
surgical supplies In the scheme Of pre-
paredness which is now being worked
out by our authorities is Of the utmost
importance, because II this country
were to he engaged in war the first
action of the enemy would be to block
ade our ports and IN this manner re-
strict the very necessary medical sup
plies which are now obtained from
foreign sources to the extent Of about
50 per cent.
That the result Of such a blockade
would be destructive to our means OF
defence goes without saying. Though
not engaged In war, we are to-day
suffering from a scarcity of chemicals,
medicinal and otherwise, by reason ~
our inability to import them. Unless
we manufacture and import in time Of
peace large quantities Of these sup.
plies we may he seriously handicapped
In our plans for defence, because the
war demands for these articles are so
enormous that II would be impossible
to manufacture a sufficient quantity
to supply the army and navy.
This fact Is Illustrated In the matter
OF surgical gauZe. OF which the manu-
facturers of the United States have
been unable to furnish an adequate
supply TO the Allies. according to q
