or nothing can be accomplished ex'
cept by concerted action.
Conditions are now similar to
those which prevailed before the pas
sage of the Reclamation or Newlands
Act. A few far seeing, earnest men
were then actively at work, but the
great body OF the so.called practical
politicians were skeptical regarding
the importance Of the bill.
1.-THE Federal government already
has in the Reclamation Service an et
fective organization Of engineers who
have built some Of the largest works
of water control in the country. Il
also has in the department OF Agrt
culture a body of expert advisors on
farm drainage and on the work OF
drainage organization and districts
It would not require much effort to
bring them together and to make
doubly effective the experience al.
ready gained. It is appreciation OF
this that has induced Senator New
lands to push forward a second great
bill for reclamation and conservation
which he has been advocating since
1902, designed to bring about better
cooperation among governmental and
other agencies and to provide bus
iness.like procedure by which work
on the rivers can be taken up in an
orderly manner. !.
whether the pending Newlands
bill in all its broad, scope is finally
adopted, or the more direct provis'
ions OF the Clark-Williams bill (pre-
pared through the efforts of this or
ganization) we should fully appreci-
ate and utilize the inestimable advant'
age of the precedents afforded by the
Reclamation Act and its amendments.
"This Congress has before 1t three
distinct, though closely related prop
ositions for national or cooperative
effort.
First, the Clark-Williams bill.
Second, the more general and In
elusive Newlands bill.
Third, the commission plan. This
last was initiated by President Roose'
welt in his appointment OF the Inland
waterway Commission in 1907, which
was followed by tho National Water
ways Commission in 1912. This pro
cedure Is in the line of continued in
vestigation and is opposed to the
views of those who believe that the
time has arrived for action"

PAUL PHELPS NOT
EXPECTED TO live
Thebes Man Shot Self Through
Lung-Bullet Passes
His Heart.

Paul Phelps, who shot himself at his
home in Thebes, H., about $50 o'clock
Tuesday morning, last night was not
expected to live, according to informa-
tion received here.
From the position of the bullet
wound it is believed the young man
attempted to shoot himself in the
heart. The ball passed through the
left lung, just at the side of his heart.
He regained consciousness for the first
time yesterday morning, after the
shooting.
Young Phelps shot himself while in
a fit of dependency. He is % years
old and has been employed as a barber
at Thebes. He is son of DR.. Phelps
of Thebes, and resides at his fathers
home. It is understood that he is
married. Miss Ruby Phelps, his sis
ter, was a student at the Normal last
winter.
Last week, from Thursday to Fri
day, Phelps quit work and went on a
picnic at Rock Springs, mile below
Thebes. On his return home he was
despondent. Tuesday evening he went
to his room and closed the door but
did not lock it.
His parents were downstairs, and a
short time after their son has retired
they heard a muff1ed report in his
room. Doctor Phelps ran to his sons
room and found him lying on the floor.
He was unconscious and the revolver
was clutched in his hand.
DR.. Bondurant of Cairo was sum-
moned to Thebes to aid the father in
saving the young mans life. Yester-
day morning when the son talked to
his father, he declared that he wants
to live. He has one brother.

London, June 14.-Russian and Ger

night. The Russians drove off the
Germans. 1t is reported that eight
armored German trawlers, one auxili-
airy cruiser and two destroyers were
conveying IA German steamers when
they were attacked suddenly by six
Russian destroyers and several sub
marines.
Kovel, next to Lenberg the most
important railroad center back of the
Eastern Austria line, is now, with
Lemberg and Czernowitz in Bukowina,
one Of the immediate detectives of the
Russian drive. Its capture would
prove a serious embarrassment to the
lines of the Germans toward Riga, and
those Of the Austrians to the south.
The Russians nave approached KOvel
closest in the territory west Of Lutsk.
Further indent&tion Of the Austrian
line here would give them an oppor-
tunity to gain their objective by both
a frontal attack from Rafalowka and a
fani<ing from the south.
CzernOwitz is still in the hands Of
the Austrians, but its evacuation is
hourly expected. Russian cavalry has
driven past it about 10 miles

DECLINES OFFER
TO GO TO ENGLAND
T. G. Bair, Ten-Cent Store Man,
ager, Don't Fancy U-Boat
DOdging.

That F. C. Bair, local manager of
the Woolworth Ten Cent store. was
offered an opportunity to go to Eng
land to engage in the ten-cent store
business and declined to leave the
Cape, became known last night.
The offer was extended to Mr.. Bair
from the main offices of the Wool
worth concern in New York. Fifteen
young American store managers were
wanted to recruit the staff of store
managers in England.
The Englishmen who have been en-
gagged in the ten-cent store business
have been taken out of the stores to
fight for "king and country" the let
ter to Mr.. Bair pointed out, so that it
became necessary to obtain store man.
ayers from the United States.
The offer was made three weeks ago
when a call was sent out to several Of
the store managers asking them if
they desired to go to England. The
proposition was an attractive offer
from a financial viewpoint, Mr.. Bair
declared, and it meant the opening of
great possibilities for advancement in
the merchandising business there.
Mr.. Bair said he was not anxious to
leave Cape Girardeau to take chances
on getting safely past the German
submarines, especially since the repu-
tation of the mighty" English fleet
has been somewhat lowered since the
affair at Skagger-Rak.
Mr.. Mair came to the Cape two
years ago to open the local ten-cent
store and he has been its manager
since.
