The report credited to Nafarrate follows
 Today, in the late hours of the afternoon, two launches of the American warships lying at the en- trance to the port, attempted to re- move some of the mines that have placed at the bar. Since they did not obey signals made to them to suspend their efforts I ordered that a Volley be fired at them. The crew of the launches returned the fire. the exchange of shots continuing for some fifteen minutes. The launches then retired.

ivT NEEIl Tfir IRATNIrN.ii...

The Census bureau estimates that the United States contains 2i mil lion men between tbe ages of is and 45 years, or what is termed the military age This apparently, would make so vast an army as to be lnvineiple if equipped and trained. and is being much com mented upon as proof of the power of this country. But there is an un- happy feature that stands out like a sore thumb, and that is that prohah- iy not as much as one in seven of these men would pass the phyi- cal examination that is required of men that are deemed iit to be ad- mitted to the army. In a lessor de- gree too. these same men are handi- capped in their everyday life by the infirmities that would bar them from army service. It is to overcome this condition that many advocate universal raining for all, beginning in the school days. We very prop erly deprecate the militarism of Germany, but we must admire and honor that country for the strength and efficiency of it's men, as proven over and over again in hoth peace and war.

CUT GIRLS HAR IND FLED.
Miss Kathryn McCaffrey Lost Her
 Braid in Kansas City Store.

Kansas City, July 9.-After an ex- citing chase up Main Street and down Twelfth at o'clock yester- day afternoon Miss Kathryn McCaf- frey of Parsons, Kas., decided that it was useless to attempt to find the man, who, a moment before, in a Main Street store, had cut off her hair. Miss McCaffrey, with her aunt, Mrs. John J. Shelley, 4OOS Campbell Street. and her cousin, Miss Margar- ct Shelley. had been shopping on the first floor of the store when suddenly Miss McCaffrey felt someone iostle against her rather roughly. Thinking it was just someone passing by in the crowded store she paid no attention to ii un- til moment later she heard her cousin cry out. "Stop that manl'' Miss. Shelley had seen a man, about 2i years old, and well dressed, step up thru the crowd, and with some sharp instrument clip off Miss Me- Catfrey's hair which she wore in a long braid down her back.
 Mrs. Shelley and the two girls fol- lowed the man to the door and there Mrs. Shelley caught him by the arm Pushing her back, he ran up main to Twelfth and then east to Wal hut where the women gave up the chase
 Miss McCaffrey said last night that she had never seen the man before. She is fl years old, brunette, and lives at Parsons, Kas. She has been visiting the last week at the home of her aunt.

ALL WOULD BE WELL 'TF."
Eggs Good Substitute For Meat, but
 Too Scarce in Germany.

From the London Globe
 Prof Rubner of the Berlin Phy- siological Institute, featuring at Leipsic, said that from now on the quantity Of meat available would steadily decrease. so that other forms of nourishment must be found.
 The lack of meat ec,sld be made good if each persoe vyss able to eat four eggs every day but un- happily there was also d serious shortage of eggs, which would like wise grow from week to week.
 The deficiency in meat could also be nulliiied by eating seven plates full Of spinach, but here again, there was a shortage, which would hardly be diminished during the war 4 ration Of one and One-half pounds of apples might also com peIsate for the loss of meat, hut there would not be enough apples in Germany 10 go round
 Elaborate arrangements must therefore be made to conserve ex- isting supplies and to prevent un- dernourishment of the nation Among other suggestions. Professor Rubner said that Germans could learn to dispense with fats
