GOVERNMENT BEGINS ITS
FIGHT AGAINST SHARKS
Coast Guard and Life Saving Service
Ordered to Assist in discriminating
Man-Eaters.

Washington, July II. - The federal
government has ~canvassed its resourc
es for combating the invasion of the
North Atlantic coast waters by sharks.
President Wilson and his cabinet
discussed what could be done to pre-
vent more tragedies like those which
have occurred recently along the New
Jersey shore. The coast guard and
life saving service were ordered to
assist in shark determination in every
way possible. =
The first effort will be to ascertain
whether a few individuals or several
schools Of the sea monsters are in
northern waters. A cutter will fish for
the sharks If their number is not
great. With the aid of the life saving
corps.

London, July Is. - Russian troops
have captured the town of Baiburt in
Turkish Armenia by assault. This in

ment issued by the Russian war de-
partment. Baiburt is IS miles north
east of ErZerum and about 60 miles

Allies Still Advancing.
The A~nglo-French advance has
brought the Allied troops where they
made a junction, to a point about a
mile in front of Combles, which prior
to July, when the offensive began, was
the German headquarters on this Sec
tor.
Quiet prevailed on the British front
Sunday. The detachment which had
been thrust forward to the third Ger
nan line of Foreaux wood to protect
the infantry operations now has been
withdrawn to the main position,
Watch for Next French Move.
The casualty lists as announced to-
tai 227 officers dead and 457 wounded
or missing; 597 men dead and 1882
wounded.
The British are keenly watching for
the next move on the French front
where comparative quiet still prevails.
The Germans are strongly placed ON
the Somme above Peronne under the
protection of the river and its marshy
banks. The crossing of the river by
the French will involve serious fight
ing with probably heavy losses.
Germans Lack Reserves.
The British and French armies, how
ever, are full of confidence in each
other and the result of the joint Of
fensive seems likely to be more as
sured, as there is no evidence of any
new units of reserves coming from the
interior Of Germany.
Further, significant news has been
received to the effect that the Portu-
guese government has equipped an ar
my with everything necessary to en-
able it to fight side by side with the
Anglo-French armies and that this ar
my is ready to answer the call when
ever required.

ORDERS COMMANDERS TO DELAY
TRANSPORTATION TO BORDER
UNTIL TROOPS ARE THOR
OUGHLY EQUIPPED.
SUFFICIENT FORCES TO
MEET ANY EMERGENCY
Latest Reports Show 100000 Guards
men and $4,000 Regulars Are Now
at the Frontier-New Order e.
fects $4,000 Men Still heId
In Camps.

Washington, July 18.-The War de-
partment has sent orders to all de.
partment commanders to delay trans
%portation to the border of national
guard organizations now mobilizing un.
til they are thoroughly equipped and
organized.
The effect will be to revoke a ruling
issued when the Mexican situation was
acute, waving certain requirements.
The order affects about $4,000 men
still held in the camps.
Ready to Meet Emergency.
The latest information of the de.
partment is that about 100, 900 nation
al guardsmen now are at the border.
With the $4,000 regulars there, and
5000 additional men called from the re.
serves, 1t Is estimated that there is
sufficient forces to meet any emer.
gency and will make unnecessary the
dispatch of any more guardsmen until
they are completely equipped and or
ganiZed.
Published reports that use of a gen.
eral draft was being considered to fill
the national guard ranks were denied
by the department. The following
statement was issued by the official
press bureau:
Draft Called Nonsense.
THE statement that the War de-
partment is contemplating the draft
system to recruit the national guard
is nonsense. Statements to that effect
are purely speculative and have no
basis in fact"
Reports that national guard units
are being supplied poor and insufficient
food are not borne out in preliminary
Geographic reports from the command
ers. These uniformly declare that
there has been no food shortage among
the guardsmen and that all have been
supplied normal army rations of good
quality. Detailed reports are being
forwarded and a formal statement
probably will be issued later by the
department"
Mexican Troops Sent South.
A message from General Funston
reported that General Trevino had
sent many troops south with the in
tention OF occupying the G~uerrero-San-
Borpa-Santa Rosalia line against any
possible northward advance of ban

he told friends he would pass the Brit.
