GENERAL GARMENT WORKERS STRIKE
 MAY BE DECIDED ON

New York, July 1S-An important de veopment today in the local strike of 10000 pantsmakers was the announce ment that Sidney Hillman, president of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America who is directing matters here had sent telegrsms to all the principal clothing centers in the country detailing the course of the strike here and calling on the union leaders to hold themselves in readiness for united action. The tele- grams went to Amalgamated organiza- tions in Baltimore. Chicago, Rochester, St. Louis and Cincinnati, with a mem Der ship of 250e00 persons.
 The pantsmakers' strike here was called because 1t has been stated, their de- mands for better sanitary shop conditions and increa sed wages were refused by the manufacturers. One manufa cturer, employing 300 men, today acceded to the demands and the men returned to work. Other offers from individual manufac- turers to arbitrate differences are under consdera tion.

ENGLAND HAS 420,000
 MEN ON WAR FRONT

London, July 13.-(s D. m.)-"The six divisions of the British army that went out at the very outset of the war have been followed by others. and yet others. and unless I am mistaken we have 22 or 23 divisions" approximately 42o,o00 to 44o.OOO men at this moment in the European theatre"
 Lord Lansdowne made this statement In moving the second reading of the national registration bill in the House of Lords tonight He added that all the time Lord Kitchener has been recruit ing his armies and the stream of men has been flowing in volume, the stream of equipment did not flow so satisfactorily, but prodigious efforts had been made to remedy the errors and he was glad to think that these efforts had been attended with a con siderable amount of success.
 The bill. said Lord Lansdowne, was rot intended to introduce compulsory service but if compulsory service ever became necessary a national register would assist in introducing it. He ex- pressed the opinion that voluntary system would not much longer be tol- erated by the country. A third of the men now serving were married men,

TALK ON THRIFT
National Economy

Perhaps there never was time In the history of the United States when the utmost possible stimulation of the saving habit meant so much to in dividual and national prosperity as 1t does now"-Elmer H. Youngman. Edi- tor of the Bankers Magazine.
 If our people all work harder and save more money the United States could soon become the worlds banker That is the opinion of the Bankers Magazine and other authorities on finance
 Even if the European war speedily closes it will leave In It's train a vast burden of debt to be provided for, so that London, Paris and Berlin will have on their hands all they can han dle for d good while to come. The United States should be in a position to take it's place as international pur- veyor of capital
 It must not be forgotten that we shall require a large amount of money to finance our own enterprises which hitherto have been accustomed to go abroad for loans. To meet this demand. io ldht DdCh our SttuIllitS lTOHl Tt rope and to provide for the interna- tional financing already coming to us as a result of the war. and which is bound to come in an ever-increasing volume, we must bring about a prompt and material addition to the saving capacity of our population.
 The idea that prevailed in Europe previous to this disastrous war was to use everything that was available and to throw away nothing that could be used to great or small advantage On account of the scarcity of land in the producing sections, intensive farming had been brought down to an exact science, with the result that in these times of stress there can be enough produced upon a limited acreage to keep the people from starvation. If this habit of saving were practsed more in this country our people would be in far better condition to take care of themselves should some dan gerous emergency arise in the future
 We repeat, there never was time when so much of individual benefit of national welfare, and of public profit, could be derived from the general adoption of the saving habit by the people of the United States
 Do 1t now.

SEEK TO DEVELOP
 POTASH DEPOSIT

Washington, July 1S.-With fertilizer famine threatening American farmers as a result of the cutting off of supplies of German potash, state and commerce de- partment officials have undertaken to arrange. for the development by Ameri- can capital of a potash deposit recently discovered in southern Spain. A conces- sion contract from the Spanish govern ment already has been laid before inter- ested firms.
 The world supply of potash has been dominated by German government con- trolled combination. who since the war began has declined to release exports. Three cargoes of the product already loaded on ships for the United States have been held up.
 American commercial representatives abroad recently directed attention to the Spanish deposits. with information that capital for their development was not available in Spain.
 Experts of the department of com meroe have investigated several possible sources of a supply In the United States but none have been found to offer com mercial possibilities.

SECURITY LEAGUE
 MAKES REPORT

New York, July 13.-The development of the National Guard to the full limit of efficiency making 1t serve as an eff = fective school for officers a course of study in the public schools calling at tention to the need of public service :; sports and physical drills for school children; theoretical training in the are of maneuvers as part of the col lege curriculum; an official classifica ton of all those fitted for military en- rollment, and requirement of some military duty from all persons between IS and 45 years of age, are among the day by the militia committee of the National Security league. The commit tee has just concluded its investigation of the military needs of the United States, and the best method of supply ing them, insofar as they relate to the state militia
 The better judgment of all those who join in this report" according to the statement issued by the commit tee, is against efforts to give military instruction to the children of America in the public schools"
 Physical training and manly sports, 1t states should be a prominent fea.. ture of child education. but the responsi- bility of actual military preparedness should begin at the age of IS and con- tinue during military age.
 Legislative measures for national de- fense should embrace all persons liable to militia duty the committee recom- mends. The object of these measures IL says should be to prepare proper material out of which, when required greater army and navy may the more speedily be created

THE WAR SITUATION

Two momentous announcements have been made by the British government. The first Is that Great Britain's latest war loan has met with great success. subscriptions amounting to nearly B, 900, : Ooo,OOO The second is that the munitions of war act will be applied to the coal mining industry. marking 1t an offense for the miners who have threatened to strike, owing to disagreement with the operators over wages, to leave the mines. strike of the miners probably would seriously affect the navy, which uses coal from the Welsh mines and also the plants which are manufacturing arms and am- munition for the army at the front
 All factories in Italy are being trans formed into ammunition and shell mak- ing plants. A suggestion has been made that all capable factory workers with the army shall be sent home and that the mechanical schools shall be used for teaching men how to make munitions

they took their marks. Georges s.

said he tipped the beam at 121 pounds,
while George weighed 155, but what
ever Cummings lacked in the essen

anced by his superb style of covering
the ground.
After listening to the instructions
OF the referee the pistol cracked and
with a bound Cummings darted into
the lead. George was on the alert
and when dozen yards had been
left behind he assumed command and
took the little man along at fast
clip. Only few feet was between
the pair and the first lap took So IL
seconds. The halfmile was reached
in zoo. the positions being unchanged.
Without an apparent slackening Of
pace the three-quarters post was
passed in 3.07 "a, but here Cummings
spurted to the front
Immediately he tried to open up q
gap on George, but the effort was
without avail. George hung on down
the backstretch and gradually but
surely Cummings came back to him.
As they Strengthened for home George
drew up to Cummings shoulder and
then came the crucial struggle. For
about IS yards both dug In. Sudden
" Cummings stumbled and rolled over
on his back dead beat and run clean
on his legs. AS Cummings hit the
ground. George turned his head around
and. seeing his opponent down, eased
on trifie, yet he finished in 4.12 ga.
How much George lost by Cum
mings not fighting it out for the last
hundred yards can never be figured,
but that he lost something is GER
tainty. Previous to that date Cum
mings held the professional record
with 4.16 Is. The four miles and 10
miles were also won by George and
he earned the title of professional
champion OF the world.
