NEWS IN BRIEF

New York was given taste of
something new when the bosses of
the cloak industry told the concila-
tors to get them hence. Hitherto. ac-
cording to the capitalist press, ii has
been the workers who have been "de-
fiant" and "unruly", and all that.
Well, this time, gentlemen, it is the
bosses.

1t is estimated that fully 10000 en-
gineers are more or less affected by
the stagnation which for three years
has existed in water power develop
ment. Up to three years ago plants
under construction, begun before the
operation of the new laws had put a
stop to planning new enterprises,
gave work to these engineers and to
hundreds of thousands of skilled and
unskilled workmen, Today engineers
of long experience are haunting the
offices of power companies and con-
tractors begging for jobs.

WASHINGTON.-The Department
of Labor has issued statement show
ing that manufacturing industries in
the United States are expending gen.
orally from 20 to 60 per cent more
for wages than they were a year ago
Much of the increase is accounted for
by the additional number of men en-
ployed, but a considerable amount is
credited to higher wages.

BORDEAUX, France. The retail
price of Glasgow and Cardiff coal
here has reached $24 and $25, re-
spectively, per toi anthracite $29 per
ton. These abno NAL prices are due
primarily to tha Unprecedented rate
on ocean cargoes! Before the war,
during the first part of 1914, coal sold
at Bordeaux for $3.50 per ton plus the
freight, which averaged $1.16.

LATEST RAID Is PROBED
Little Probability Washington
Will Consider Further Ac-
ton Till Late in Week.

Washington, July s. Sunday
brought no important developments
here in the Mexican situation. The
only official dispatch received during
the day aside from routine repOxxs
was a message from Gen. Funston
transmitting information reacfdrsg
Gen. Bell at Ell Paso regarding Tire
Mexican raid near Fort Hancock. II
said that raiders took two horses Szf-
urday night near Old Fort EarEp,
Tex, and escaped into Mexico Az
investigation was in progress AND
Gen. Bell said he would take any
necessary steps. The order to Arnezxs
lean commanders to follow into Mess
co any ''hot trail" they find, remains
unchanged.
Neither the state department rE1f
the Mexican embassy had any Va0CNT
as to when Carranza's reply to ms
American demands, awaited by Pres
ident Wilson with some impatevsee
might be expected. There seerszI
little probability that the Washington
government would consider further
action until late in the week.
While the administration will ralzs
any necessary defensive step in event
that Gen. Pershing's column was III
tackled no aggressive movement wnulfi
be undertaken until President Wilsu
had advised congress of his purTE,se
and definite authority had been graEsi-

Officials profess complete ignorawce
as to the time President Wilson'S v-iH-

HOOKWORM RAVAGES SEEN.

The chief disabilityis that of weight.
The federal requirement is a mini
mum of 100 pounds. Other prevalent
causes Of rejection are defective eyes,
flat feet deficient chest expansion and
general physical weakness. Some OF
the companies are largely recruited
with men from the eastern section OF
the state where hookworm is prevalent
and these, according to the examining
officers, are almost sure to lose heav
lily in the examination.
Rejection by the federal officers al
so eliminated the men from the state
guard. They will be issued disability
certificates and sent home.
All officers in camp are making ar
engagements for recruiting in the
various cities. They are determined
to be ready to go to the border at the
earliest possible minute and the only
way tney can do 1t is TO NIL their units
with men who fit in the eyes of Major
j. w. Grissinger, of the United States
army.
1t was estimated by one of the ex-
aminers that one of the companies
would emerge with no more than five
men left, and that another company
would lose as many as seventy-fve
percent
Despite the fact that this was visi-
tors day 1.-THE fort, it was work, work

and medical The second and third
were inoculated for typhoid.

REJECT FOURTH
OF KY. MILITIA
Feared Majority Of Companies
Will Be Reduced to Less
Than Peace Strength.

Fort Thomas, Ky, July 3.-Re-
lection of the federal physical exami-
ners of twenty-five per cent. Of the
state guard, something over one
thousand men, is the prospect staring
the general staff of the Kentucky
militia in the face tonight.
This would reduce the majority of
the companies on the guard to a
fgpre lower than the minimum or
peace strength. After two days Of
federal examination, it became appar-
ent tonight that virtually every com
pany in camp stands TO lose heavily
when submitted to the rigorous re-
quirements OF the federal govern
ment
Today the regimental hospital corps
of Louisville filed into the gymnasium
with an enlistment standing nine men
above the required peace strength,
and a little later emerged with a
strength one below minimum, having
lost nine men and one officer, Captain
T. M. Dorsey.
The Regimental hospital is the sec
ond unit to meet disaster at the hands
of the federal examiners, the signal
corps from Lexington, suffering re-
duction of approximately twenty per
cent.
Staff officers said tonight that with
this situation confronting the guard,
the matter of recruiting new and bet
ter men becomes the urgent BUSH
ness of the minute. There was no
indication tonight Of the standard re-
uire ments.

In connection with the operations
now going on, aerial activity was
marked. Berlin reports eight British
and three French machines were
brought down within the German lines
and four others were shot down.
TAKE so MILES OF TERRITORY.
The battle of the Somme, is now in
full progress, marks the opening of
the Franco-BritiSh offensive, long ex-
pected as critical if not the decisive
stage of the war.
Early reports today show that the
entente allied forces are sweeping
along 25-mile front. The allied lines
have enveloped within the last twenty
four hours nine villages and fifty
square miles of French territory held
until now by the Germans.
The great offensive was expected
and eagerly awaited for the last ten
days, but the exact point where the
blow was to be delivered was care
fully concealed. 1t was believed that
1t would be north of Arras, with Lille
for the objective, but it was finally
decided no strategic, rather than for
sentimental grounds, to execute the
move south of Arras at point where
the piercing of the line would operate
more seriously in the dislocation fc
the German forces.
The German lines in some places
have been penetrated to a depth of
two miles and the prisoners taken by
the French armies make many thou
sands. North of the Somme, where
the French and British armies make
contact various points Of tactical value
have been taken.
