Are Backing Up
England.

Troops Reach Destination in Good
Health-Delay in Getting
Settled.

Washington, July 25.-That the
British commercial black list was
not published until the approval OF
certain wall street magnates had
been gained is reported here today.
It is believed that interests which
are being benefited by the black list
will attempt to prevent the govern
ment from taking action against the
British order. Information reaching
the department indicates allied ma
lions are planning for united action
along the lines of the trading with
the enemy act. officials realize that
such a development would greatly
aggravate the difficulties confront
ing firms placed on the blacklist and
complicate diplomatic negotiations
on the subject.
Des Moines, July 25.-The First
infantry and General Aliens staff

special trains en- route to the border.
Camp Dodge is now deserted except
for the presence of few recruiting

I Third Iowa is in camp on eastern
outskirts of Brownsville about a
mile from the business section. The
Second and Third battalions under
Majors Stanley and Brewer arrived
at 2 p. m. but did not get to camp
for two hours.
The First battalion under Major
Worthington arrived soon after
noon.
"The camp is IDEAL" said Colonel
Bennett, except for being covered
with cactus; the first job was to re-
move enough of this to permit the
tents to be put up"
The tents except those of the Of
fcers were up at 1880 O'Clock. The
Third is less than mile from the
First and Second Virginia where
several cases of measles were report
ed today.
Eight men were taken to the hos
pital and quarantined. The Third
will spend today fixing the camp and
then begin stiff drilling program.
The men are in good shape.
From the time our train crossed
the Brazos river bridge $50 miles
from Brownsville Sunday night, a
patrol of troops along the railroad
has been continuous.
All along the line Mexican section
hands waved at and ,cheered the
Iowa soldiers on the way to guard
the border.
Last night ammunition was dis
tributed to the officers and men.

SENATOR HARDW|CK'S
AMENDMENT To ARMY
BILL PASSES SENATE
Provides That Male Students
in Schools and Colleges
Shall Constitute Reserve in
Certain Cases
ny RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April IS
The senate this afternoon, by vote
of Sc to 4, passed, without material
change, the Hardwick amendment TO
the army bill, after three hours de-
bate. in which Senator Hardwick and
Senator Hoke smith took leading part.
Thew were assisted materially in the
discussion by Senators McCumber, of
North Dakota, and Reed, of Missouri.
Chief oppositon to the amendment came
from members of the military commit
tee, under the leadership of Senator
Chamberlain, it's chairman.
The adoption of the amendment is
regarded as quite an achievement, par
ticularly for the senior senator from
Georgia.
1t is unuuestionably one of the most
important changes that has been made
in the army bill, and its advocates be-
llieve that it adds much strength to the
measure as a whole.
The Hardwick amendments provides,
briefly, that the male students IN
schools and colleges, fifteen years of
age and over, may constitute reserve
army, to be called by the president
only to repel invasion, or suppress in
surrection. 1t is provided that every
school and college that has fifty or
more students willing to enlist and re-
ceive military training as a part of
their education shall be furnished with
an officer from the regular army to
give the military instruction
1t is a noteworthy fact that the three
amendments Of consequence to the army
bill that have been adopted were
sponsored by the Georgia senator's.
The senate unhesitatingly adopted SEN
ator Hoke Smiths amendment propos-
ing that postmasters shallbeco me re-
cruitng officers under certain regula-
tions. 1t also adopted Mr.. Smith 5
amendment providing for a course of
education in the regular army along
vocational lines, so as to better prepare
the private soldiers for better citizen
ship.
A proposal for increasing the regular
army to a peace strength of 100000 men
was agreed to by the senate late today,
43 to 81

Canal Committee
Reports No Fear
Of Further Slides

WASHINGTON, April 1s.-A report
on the work of the special committee of
scientists appointed by the National
Academy of Sciences at the request of
President Wilson to investigate the
Panama canal slides was presented at
today's session of the academy by
Charles r. Van Hise. president of the
University of Wisconsin and chairman
of the committee. The committee's
findings, made to President Wilson in a
preliminary report also prepared by DR..
Van Hise, have already been made pub
lie.
Today's report refterates the conclu-
sion reached in the previous report that
navigation through the canal Is not
likely again to be seriously interrupt
ed by slides and that realization Of the
great object for which the waterway
was constructed is assured in the near
future.

Indians DO Not
Want to Be Left
Alone By y. s.
(By Associated Press.)

PENDLETON. Ore, April 1s.--Indian
tribes of the Pacific northwest have
prepared to protest against the propo-
sal of the government to issue patents
to Indian lands, abandon the bureau of
Indian affairs and leave the individuals
of the race to work out their own
salvation. AS a protest against such
legislation the Indians. 1t was announc-
ed today, have arranged to send to
Washington one of the leading men OF
the Yakima tribe. They assert that the
experience of the government in the
issuance of patents thus far demon
strates that the Indian can not cope
with the white man and that protection
is necessary.
The lands Of the majority OF those
who have received patents in the pasS
are either mortgaged or alienated, ac''

not come TO the attention OF many OF
our readers. some suggestions relative

The pig clubs have been established

from the consumption Of restricted

are the neglected factors. Hence, it is
OF the utmost importance that the rising
generation be taught how to produce
