PROVOST GUARD FORCED TO
FIRE INTO Mob BEFORE

GAN ANTONIO. Texas. July 25.--
ro,r negro soldiers. members OF the
Eiehth illinois Infantry of the Ma
,,onal Guard. we're shot last night
ne n squad OF the guard that had
c1me TO the rescue of white man
tho soldiers we're attacking near the
,,,,;t,a camp. None was seriously
injured. all the bullets striking in
.he legs.
The trouble began when Herbert
q Henne, q lawyer of New Braun
;e,s Texns. was on his way early
last night to the militia camp. He
passed a group OF the negro soldiers
IN the street tina. xtends from the
army post to the camp. An in
slant af.er, ore of them threw a
rock af.er him. It struck the rear
q. his car. Mr.. Henne directed his
driver to step and he alighted.
Turning toward the advancing group
OF guardsmen, he was met with in
yectIve, and he instantly changed his
direction coward the nearest open
door. that of a saloon.
As he ran, Henne claimed he
heard one of the men call out Come
on. he's unarmed. Let's get him. !"
Inside the caloon, he shouted to
the bartender ard his helper, .he
ONLY other occupants of the place,
fer assistance, but they remained
behind the bar. leaving Henne to
face the negroes, by that time crowd
irg through tie doorway.
According to his story, he kicked
tie first man out of his way, and
cleared wider path by knocking
dewn another.
Henne said he asked the bartend-
er for a pistol, but was told there
was none there. He seized big
krife that was used in cutting to-
bscco, and with that weapon faced
the negroes. enc of whom, he said,
was furnishing knife.
The little group of his assailants
had been increased by ten or fiji
teen of the same regimen. when !
detachment of the proves. guard Of
the Nineteenth Infantry rushed up
the street and poured into the sa-
loon. Ordering The men to quarters,
the guard began using their guns
a. clubs. They forced the negroes
cut into the street wneve. reinforce
ed until perhaps the number was
twenty-five or thirty, the negroes
turned on the regulars. They NUT
tered their defiance and began reach
ing for stones and clods to throw.
Again they were told to move on,
ard failure to obey was followed
by the order to fire.
What is known as guard ammu-
rition, was used. 1t will carry but
little more than 200 yards. That
the fire of the regulars was careful
and concentrated Is indicated by the
fact that four of the mob went
diwn, and so far as was ascertain
able last night, none of the many
soldiers off duty and civilians both
walking. and driving on the street at
that time was hit. The regulars
aimed low, all the. bullets striking
below the waist line.

PRESTON OF NEWS.

Washington, D. c., July 3. Army Of
ficers were puzzled today deciding how
stringently they shall attempt to en-
force censorship on troop movements
and location at the border. They had
before them copies of newspapers from
over the country publishing stories
from special correspondents with local
national guard units. In most cases
the correspondents specified the des-
tination of their troops.
The war department has objected to
the publication Of this information, yet
officers admit privately that under
present circumstances they do not
blame the newspapers. They point out
that the Mexican government has not
sufficient agents in the United States
to gather these reports published in
such scattered localities and to con-
struct from them a comprehensive
schedule showing strength OF troops at
various points along the border.
Oficially the destination of all ma
tional guard units Is supposed to be a
military secret Officials thought 1t
improbable that any step would be
taken at this time toward more COM
plete censorship. They will rely on
newspapers not to publish future shift
ing OF forces from one point to anoth-
er on the border.

RESULTS SATISFY ALLIES.

Paris, July 3.-"General results ex-
cellent," is the verdict Of the Partisan
press on the achievements of the Sec
ond day Of the great Franco-British Of
fensive. All the newspapers assert
that what has been accomplished Is
rather substantial than sensational.
They say the mistake made in the
Champagne battle will not be repeat
ed. that, men can not fight materially
until the ground has been prepared by
artillery. No section of the Franco
British forces was advanced beyond
the line assigned to It., they say, how
ever tempting might have appeared
the chance of smashing further lines.
The story Of an artillery corporal who
was woundedt while in an observation
post at Maricourt is cited to show that
this method is sound. The corporal
said: r. 49,.
II was able to see for myself that
our losses we're quite small and I am
certain that our means of action will
enable us to forge ahead without much
wastage of men. This is due to the
prodigious accumulation Of munitions
of all sorts made by the allies along
the whole northern front.
IT witnessed the first bombardment
Of the German trenches and works.
The effects were terrifying. It is not
possible that any work of defense,
however strong and ingenious, can re-
sist such an avalanche OF fire and
steel. s. H.. .-N
1.-THE German reply is no less ter
rible and the most stubborn resistance
may be short of men but certainly does
not lack munitions. Yet he offered
feeble resistance to our first shelling.

officers will not crowd them. A great

EvACUATE CAMP
ON SHORT NOTICE
EVERYTHING IN READINESS At
MOBILIZATION CENTER FOR
QUICK MOVEMENT.

Camp Dodge, Des Moines, July g.
The beginning of the third week un-
der arms Of the Iowa national guard
found the guardsmen ready to move
to the Mexican border within three
hours after the order had been re-
ceived, according to statement today
by Gen. Hubert A. Allen, commanding.
"The work of mastering and medical
examinations OF the men, save the
cavalry, is completed" he said. Should
the order be received from the presi-
dent today this camp could be
evacuated and everything made ready
for departure in three hours. The
work of mastering in the cavalry will
be rushed so that the delay In entrain-
ing should be very short"

orders finally come continued
to be shrouded in mystery by orders
Of the war department, but 1t was
learned from representatives of sew
eral railroads that cars we're being
held available for an immediate en-
trainment 1t was pointed out that II
the order was not urgent the guards
men would wait a short time for the
arrival of tourist sleepers. II urgent,
they will be moved in day coaches.
With the work Of organization COM
pleted, army officers today concen-
trated plans for getting the troops
out Of the camp Immediately upon re-
ceipt Of the order A plan was dis
cussed to march the guardsmen twelve
miles to Des Mofnes. or some other
nearby point and ship them from
there. The single track interurban
railway facilities, 1t was pointed out,
would delay entraining and by the
time the order arrived the men would
be in shape to make the twelve mile
hike easily.

WAR SUM MARY,

Gains for the allies are reported on
the three principal fronts, the French
British, the Russian and the Italian,

Notwithstanding the great offensive
against them in the Somme river dis
tr1ct, the Germans continue assaults
on Verdun. Berlin claims that the
French attacks on the famous Thiau-
mont work were repulsed but Paris
official reports say this strategic posi-
ton has been recaptured by the
French forces.
Berlin admits that German division
was withdrawn from the Somme sec
tor and that the allies were able to
advance.
In connection with the gigantic bat
ties on the ground, air fights have been
numerous, Berlin claiming to have
brought down fifteen machines Of the
allies.
