open NEGOTIATIONS
FOR TOBACCO men
STATE DEPARTMENT AFTER RE-
LIEF FROM ORDER-IN-
COUNCIL.

Washington, July 24.-At the re-
quest of Representative Alben w.
Barley the State Department
agreed to-day to reopen negotiations
with the Government of Great Brit
ain to obtain relief for tobacco ex-
porters. The Kentucky Congressman
protested against the action of Eng
land in placing effective July 15 the
ban upon shipments of tobacco to
neutral nations, one of the provis-
ions of the Orders in Council, which
were raised last November
The Kentuckian pointed out to Of
ficials of the State Department that
dark tobacco growers in Kentucky
and other States have large orders
with agents in Germany and Austria
and that having gone upon the as
sumption that the order would not be
enforced after il was cancelled last
November stand to lose heavily.
Under the original provision of the
Orders in Council, tobacco shipments
for Holland. The Netherlands and
other neutrais had to be sent care of
The Netherlands Oversee Trust,
which is permitted to operate under
guarantee toGreat Britain of delivery
to proper neutrals. Last November
the order was amended to permit to-
bacco shipments to be consigned to
neutrals 'or order" In this manner
tobacco was allowed to reach the
Central Powers.

PRESIDENT WILSON
REPLIES TO PROTEST
TELLS INDIANA WOMAN GUARDS
ARE ON THE BORDER FOR
PROTECTION.

Washington, July 26.-In reply
to a complaint form Mrs. Henry
Smith. of Winamac. Ind, who has a
son in the National Guard, President
Wilson wrote to-day that the Guard
was being kept on the Mexican Dor
der to protect the country, not for
drill, and that the services the men
were performing were an honor to
them and a necessity to the United
States.
The President referred to the pre-
cautions of the War Department to
make the border camps safe against
disease. and said the health record of
both regulars and guardsmen was ex-
ceptionally good. His letter was made
public because many communications
similar to that of Mrs. Smith are be-
ing received and to answer criticisms
that the men of the National Guard
are not being properly cared for. The
letter follows:
Your letter of July 30 distresses
me a good deal because it shows that
you have not been correctly inform
ed as to the purpose of having the
National Guard at the border. 1t is
not for the purpose of drill, but for
the purpose of protecting the coun-
try. The service that the men are
performing there is an honor to
them and a necessity to the United
States. l cannot believe that the
men in the National Guard would
wish to be excused from it or would
lose heart because of the discom-
forts and Inconvenience of the ser
vice.
The War Department has the
camps on the border under the most
careful inspection and is using every
means known to make them sanitary
and safe against disease. The health
record of the men on the border, both
the regulars and the National Guards
men, is exceptionally good.
81 would not have you think that
do not sympathize with your dis
tress in the absence of your son, but
beg that you will take these larger
matters into consideration"

TOBACCO LOOKING GOOD
Ohio COunty's Prospects Look Better
Than For 20 Years.

The tobacco crop in Ohio county,
while not the largest, is perhaps the
most promising at this season of the
year of any grown for years, probab-
ly for 20 years. The crop is also
very early. which will necessitate ex-
IRENE care in cutting in order to
avoid sun burn. Sun burned tobac-
co is no better than frost bitten to-
bacco, If as good.
1t has become as much fixed rule
with tobacco growers in some sec
tions, more especially in the hurley
district, to deaden tobacco few days
before cutting as it is to sucker 1t.
This not only prevents sun burn but
causes il to wilt and start following.
This also prevents breaking and loss
of a lot of leaves and barring acct
dents, insures a first-class color.
Too much care can not be given to
the tobacco crop from this date on as
a farmer may easily increase or di-
minish the market value 500 to
$40 per hundred. or even more.

CITY EMPLOYEES
Strike at Pittsburg For Higher Wages
$50 Men Involved.

Pittsburg. July 26.-Eight hun
dred and fifty street sweepers, team
sters. park laborers and chauffeurs,
employees of the city who have been
organized into a local union of the
American Federation of Labor,
struck to-day for an increase in wa
ges, and the abolition of white uni
forms for sweepers. The statement
to the public says they now receive
an average of $2.40 for an eight
hour day and work only 206 days in
the year. They want an increase of
five cents an hour.
Soon after the men went out the
city administration made an appeal
to the drivers of street flushing ma
chimes to keep them in operation be-
cause of the presence of infantile
paralysis and the desire of the Health
Department to have all streets wash
ed regularly. The men are expected
to give their answer tonight.

NEGRO TROOPS FIRED UPON
WHEN TEXAN Is ATTACKED

San Antonio. Tex, July 24.-Four
soldiers of the Eighth Illinois lnfan-
try, a negro regiment. were shot and
wounded tonight by squad of the
provost guard which had come to the
rescue of a white man the soldiers
were attacking near the military
camp. The guard fred low and all
the men wounded were hit in the
legs. None was seriously hurt.
Hubert G.. Henne, lawyer of New
Braunfels, Tex, was the man attack
cd by the negro soldiers. He de-
clared later that his assailants had
been drinking. and this, it was said,
was substantiated by a subsequent
official investigation. The lawyer
was in his automobile driving down
a street which extends from the ar
my post to the camp and passed n
group of negro soldiers, when a rock
was thrown which struck the car.

ILLINOIS TROOPS ARE
ACCUSED OF STRIKING
SANDS OF THE DESERT TOO
WARM FOR MILITIAMEN
sNAs ON HIKE.

San Antonio, Tex, July -25.-The
rioting of certain members of the
Eighth Illinois Infantry, composed of
negroes. and the alleged Sinking of
whole squads of the First Illinois
brigade on practice march yester-
day were the topic of much comment
today.
Negro guardsmen say that slurs
cast on them by whites, both civil
ians and military. led to the attack
by Herbert Henne. Some of them
chased Henne from his automobile
into saloon, where he defended him
self until a provost guard of regu-
lars arrived and fired on the mill
tiamen, slightly wounding three of
them The incident is regarded as
closed except for trial of the actual
culprits.
Reports of regular army Observers
to department headquarters indicate
that the number of those who fell
out in the march of the Illinois bril-
gade was about the same in all three
regiments, the showing of the first
being a little better perhaps than
that of the Second and Seventh. The
exact number of those who dropped
out and waited for assistance is not
known, even to headquarters Off
GERS, since in most cases the fatigued
soldiers were ordered out of ambu-
lance and motor truck and back in
to line when they had ridden for a
time, and became rested.
Regular army officers ascribe the
large number of stragglers entirely
to the softened condition of the men.
The marching was done in light or
der, no packs being carried, and the
distance. ten miles. was made at an
average of a little more than two
miles an hour.

of the United States. II is understood
that the United States desires that
the power of the commission ap-

that the circulation in Mexico City
of an inaccurate statement of the
status of negotiations has proven an
obstacle in deciding the scope of the
proposed commissions discussions.

the results of surgical operation
so that he may again face the exam
lining physicians, LIST Lieut.. Shown
is commanding Co. II. The doctors
refused to accept Capt. DeWeese on
account of a surgical wound which
had failed to heal properly. 1t is
hoped that he will be accepted at a
denomination now that the trouble
has been remedied and after the
new wound has healed. This was
the only grounds the examiners had
on which to base their rejection, as
the Captain was otherwise perfectly
sound.
The first news that Capt. DeWeese
had been rejected cast a pail of
gloom over the entire company. He
has the confidence. love and respect
of every man in his command and to
lose him would be the greatest mis-
fortune in the history Of the COM
pany.
