Military training camps for civilians are ris-
ing to sudden popularity in the states The
principal reason is, of course, that Americans
are beginning to see how unpreparedness in a
nation opens it to aggression and to see that
America is largely unprepared. Perhaps the
most significant feature of the establishment
Of these camps is the widespread favorable
comment upon them from educators. 1t was
only last spring that an attempt was made be-
fore committee of the Hawaiian Legislature
to show that educators in general are out
spokenly opposed to compulsory military edu-
cation indeed, to military training in the
schools at all. This position is completely ups
set by the summers developments.

appears that these spectators were too much
beset by laughter to take more than passing
note of the thousand and one contributing in
cidents TO an occasion wonderfully adapted to
the films No one, for instance, can with certi-
tudc say whether Hiku,. the redoubtable boat
steerer, was inspired by sense of humor or by
literaness when, in response to
a request that he show the party just how it
happened beforev he gave his oar a quick turn
and tipped his passengers into the watery
threefoot depths.
1t is true we have the picturesque narrative
of one OF the federal Inspectors, who tells with
feeling how he lost everything from his pockets
but beloved pipe, and all Of the party admit
that the joke was on them And the federal
inspectors returned from their trip convinced
that the first Lahaina acciaent--that tragic
happening of last May-was unavoidable And
they deny the imputation that the second spill
was prearranged. We are inclined to think
that is correct, and that if anybody turned the
trick twas Hikll- Hikll, who, says Chairman
Forbes Of the utilities commission, has been
discharged. by the Inter Island, though the
steamship company officials held him blame
less for the first accident Could it be that
Hiku thought he could !. get away with two
spills!
Yet even though Eddie Fernandez was not
in the offing to catch the comedy of the second
Lahaina accident it will not soon be forgotten
Already it is being powerfully used to point a
moral, if not to adorn tale. 1t gives promise
of figuring right along in the attempt of the
Public Utilities Commission to make the Inter
Island obey certain Recommendations The
federal inspectors now hold the first accident
unavoidable. And it is reasonable to suppose
that in case of other accidents they will with
like fortitude dare the dangers Of the deep in
similar frst-hand Investigations. Then the APP
parently irreparable loss to movie land may be
remedied. OF course Hiku IS no Charlie Chap
lin, and the attempt to visualize Capt Howe
as Mary Pickford is an effort, but Inspector
Heeney hrohgh the rescue of his pipe while
breasting the sea- has qualified in the Annette
Kellermann class. And if a repetition of these
accidents should find movie-man on the job,
he could secure a seven-reel film of fabulous
worth, providing it is passed By the censor.

NEW NAMES GIVEN WEST END STREETS
North Main Becomes West Emer- son, and South Main Changed
 to West Main Street.

Complying with petitions signed by practically every property own CT on North Main and South Main streets, the city council has passed resolutions officially changing the names to West Emerson and West Main respectively. A movement to have the names of these two streets changed was put on foot two years
 ago. but was not carried to a suc- cessful conclusion. The old names were confusing, and because of this fact the postal authorities had re- fused to extend the city delivery to the people residing on North and South Main streets. North Main street is really an extension of West Emerson street, and for this req son the latter name was chosen for it. South Main is an extension of West Main street, with the excep- tion of the jog on Seventh street. Under the resolution it becomes West Main. With these changes made, the postal authorities will now be asked to extend the free delivery service to people residing in that section of the city.

Ozark Berry Sales S4OO, 900.

Rogers, July 8.-The report of J. W. Stroud, secretary of the o. ark Fruit Growers Association. just issued, shows that the organization which handles the greater part of the strawberry crop in the Ozark regions of Arkansas and Missouri, received s294,98294 from the sale of berries this year. It is estimated that the Ozark region produced ap- proximately s4O0.O0O in strawber- ries in 1915.
 The report says the season was an unfavorable one because of the intermittent rains during the pick ing season. Sarcoxie, Mo-, was the heaviest shipper of the 22 towns where the association handled the crop. Notable records were Chas. Rausche, Monett, Mo-, 1,458 crates from six acres bringing $2.S03.45 and W. F. Rausche, Monett. 720 crates from four acres. bringing s1.521.62.

BOY IS BITTEN
 BY RATTLESNAKE
Nine Year Old Son of John 0'Steen Residing Near City, Had Close
 Call for Life.

Dr. W. R. Owens this morning reported that the nine year old son of MT. and Mrs. John O'Steen, re- siding three miles southwest of Paragould, was bitten by rattle snake last Friday and that for sev- eral days the condition of the lad was so serious that his life was al- most despaired of. The boy was on the bank of a creek trying to catch a young rabbit and when he made a grab for the object of his pursuit a rattlesnake bit him on one of his fingers. The boy ran to the house and informed his par ents. Medical aid was summoned and antidotes administered. In spite of the treatment, however, the boys arm, chest and back became fearfully swollen and his condition grew alarming. During the past two days the swelling has been go- ing down and pr. Owens thinks he has his patient out of danger.

DECREASED RATES
 CAUSE HEAVY LOSS
Statistics Show Losses to Railroads Where Two Cent Passenger
 ates Are Operative.

Chicago, July S.-Failure of predictions made in 1907, when passenger fares in many states were reduced to 2 cents per mile. that the lower fare would be more than offset by the stimulus to travel, was described in figures before the interstate commerce commission yesterday. by 46 western railroads which are asking permission to in- crease interstate passenger fares.
 L. E. Wettling, statistician for the railroad, continued the intro duction of evidence begun Tuesday. He presented figures showing that the return on property devoted to passenger service is only 2.37 per cent. while many roads operate at a deficit.
 "The reduction to 2 cent fare" MT. Wettling said, brought no stimulus to travel such as was anticipated. Efforts at efficiency, although they have brought con- spicuous results, have not been able to succeed.
 "As result of the decreased rates and higher expenses" MT. Wettling continued, "the profit from passenger service is excessively small and on some of the roads, es- pecially in the southwest, the pas senger service is operated at de- ficit.
 "Only about one half Gf the es- timated increase of from $20,00,- 900 to $25 100000 in passenger revenues from the proposed ad- vance in passenger rates would ac- crue unless state fares as well as interstate are ad"alHl, for almost one-half of the total travel is whol. ly within one state.'

ITALY'S BIGGEST
 BATTLESHIP SUNK
German and Austrian Submarines Begin Active Operations in
 the Adriatic.

New York, July 8.-(Special to The Press. )-The Amalfi, Italy's most powerful battleship, is report ed to have been sunk this morning by a submarine operating in the Adriatic sea. The brief dispatches received in New York fail to state whether the loss is attributable to a German or Austrian submersible. It is known, however, that Ger many has recently dispatched at least two of her latest pattern sub- marines to these waters, and the belief exists that this is the begin ming of a campaign that will be carried on jointly by Austria and Germany to inflict severe punish ment upon Italy for what is con- sidered by the Teutonic allies to have been an unpardonable breach of faith upon the part of the 1tal- ian government in aligning itself with England, France and Russia.

TO SET DATE FOR COUNTY ELECTION
Central Committee to be Called in Meeting to Decide on Question
 of Fall Primary.

T. E. Haley, chairman of the democratic central committee of Greene county, has been requested to call a meeting of the committee at an early date for the purpose of fixing the time for holding the pri- mary election for the nomination of candidates for county offices. When seen this afternoon MT. Ha- ley said he had not decided upon a definite date for the committee meeting, but would probably fix the time for Saturday, July 31. He admitted requests had been made of him to get the committee to- gether for the purpose of setting the date for the county primary, and further said the prevailing sentiment seemed to be in favor of holding the primary in the fall of 1916.
 The matter has been the topic of discussion on the streets for some time. Several members of the committee and others prominently identified with democratic affairs in the county say they want a change in the date from March 25, the time fixed by the state central committee, to September, perhaps the first Saturday in that month.
 The hard winter campaigns have proven very distasteful to the can didates and to the people of the county. The farmers do not relish winter political campaigns because they are not prepared to care for the candidates at that season of the year. If the date for the primary Is made in September, the cam- naign can be made after crops are laid by and at a season when it is little trouble to care for the candi- dates when they make their rounds over the county. Since the last leg islature passed law consolidating the state and national elections, the general state election cannot be held until the first Tuesday in Mo- vember. It is argued that by hold ing the county primary in Septem- Der, ample time will be given be- tween that date and the date for the general election in November. In order that this matter may be settled and that prospective and avowed candidates for county of fices may be given an opportunity to shape their affairs along defi- mite lines, Chairman Haley says he will get the committee together within the next two or three weeks and let that body act on the ques- tion.

A. B. Hays this morning and was held to await the action of the grand jury under bond of $1,OO0. Mrs. Wiggins told the prosecuting attorney that Lynn enticed her daughter away from the fair grounds Monday afternoon, got her in a buggy and drove to the woods in the country club grounds and abused the child.
 It is understood Lynn denies al the material points in the allesa- tion. He says there were S1x couples at the country club, that they were together, that nothing improper transpired and that the charge is without any foundats6A. but is inspired by malice. He de nies having enticed the girl or hay ing made any indecent proposal ts her, and says he feels confident a grand jury investigation will com pletely exonerate him.

GONE TWO MONTHS; BUT WAS NOT DEAD
Harrisburg Man Comes Home and Expresses Surprise at Appre-
 hension of His Family.

Harrisburg, July 8. R. C.. Nichols, who so mysteriously disap- peared from Memphis some time in May, has returned home, and his family and friends, who had just about concluded that he had met with death in some mysterious manner, feel much relieved.
 Some time during the latter part of May. Nichols left this city for Memphis, ostensibly to consult a physician. It was known that he did go to the Baptist hospital after he reached Memphis and was heard of during the same day in other parts of the city, but all at once he disappeared and if the ponderous jaws of the earth had opened and swallowed him he could not have been more completely lost to his family and friends.
 When Nichols failed to show up here and no word had been receiv- ed from him, the family at once commenced a search and extended it to every nook and corner of the country that they could possibly reach, and whenever a dead body was found in any place within a radius of several hundred miles of this place they either wired, phon- ed or wrote a description of the missing man, but each time were informed that the description did not fit. But perseverance will win. Monday morning a short message on a postal card notified the weeping and almost frantic wife that her husband was not only in the land of the living, but right. here in good old Arkansas, and so close that he could almost cover the distance in a days walk. He was soon located by telephone. and the first train coming in this direction brought him within few rods of his home and the rapply family that was waiting for him. Nichols says that during all this time he thought his family knew his whereabouts, as he had written them, but no letter ever came, so his family says. Mich ols also says that he has been spending the time during his ab- sence at Eureka Springs, recuper- ating his broken health. Anyway, he is at home with his family now, and they are happy.

EXPLOSION OCCURS
 ON ATLANTIC LINER
Minnehaha, Loaded Heavily With Ammunition for the Allies,
 yorced t> Dstarn.

New Ysrk, July s.-(Special to The Press. .)-As a 6EAmatic climax to the assertions nale by Frank Holt, setting forth tAe claim that bombs had been Dasssd aboard the transatlantic liners Saxonia md Philadelphia, came the news early this afternoon that . terrific ex- plsaion had badly srDpled the liner Minnehaha, came the news early tion destined for the allies. The wirsless dispatch abstsd that while it was not expected that the vessel would sink, she vss Afire and every effort was being Ist forth by the crew ts ssatrsl the flames before they .prsad szff1isaaay to still fur ther salanyer tAe veDel by an ex- plssisn of the taAsuse quantities of annAaitsn asard. The acci- asut essurred m nA-ssean, and at . time when the vessel was far from assistance. Wireless calls were i'm mediately begun and it is expected that assistance will arrive in time to render any aid thought neces' sary.
 Whether the explosion was caused from a bomb placed on the vessel by Holt, or whether an accidental concussion of explosive shells was responsible, is not known. The message received merely recited that an explosion had occurred and that the ship would be brought ir at Halifax.
