FIGURES ON INSANITY
ARE VERY INTERESTING

ATLANTA, Ga, June lois insanity
on the increase, or are state institu-
tons for the insane failing to keep
pace with the growing population?
1t is a sad fact that this alarming
increase goes ON at the Georgia State
Sanitarium, Notwithstanding the fact
that the death rate is an extraordinary
large one, due to the over crowded
conditions. In the negro department
where the overcrowding is greatest,
the death rate is 90 per cent of all
cases under treatment; while in that
for whites where somewhat better
conditions are obtained, it is only
slightly above per cent When it is
recalled that death rate of per
cent in the general population, con-
sidering children and all others, is a
very large one, it will be seen how
serious are conditions at the State
Sanitarium.
With the exception of several cot
tages for tubercular patients no new
buildings have been erected for the
Insane of Georgia since 1908, nearly
II years ago; and there now exists

NEW YORK, June Exceptional
performances have been the rule in
the intercollegiate track and field
meets during the season which closed
with the Western Conference games at
Chicago on June 3. New records were
frequent, not only from the various
association standpoints, but national
and international as we'll. Meredith,
of Pennsylvania; Simpson, of Mis-
souri,; Murray of California; DESMOND,
of Chicago; Mucks, of Wisconsin, mad
several others starred during the
spring in the role of record breakers.
With this unusual collection of ath-
letes, from the Pacific coast, East and
Middle West, competing comparison
OF the results at the championship
meets is of more than ordinary inter
est. A triangular contest between
the winners of the Pacific, Western and
EASTERN title games would produce
such close finishes that any forecast
o. the result would be at best mere
guessing. This is clearly shown by a

LITTLE BELIEF RE-
 CRUITS BE NEEDED
Only Objection Seems to be that New Members Guard Will Not be Called Into Service-Wait- ing Call for Volunteers.

Little Rock, June 26-Patriotism is now running strong in Little Rock in everything but recruiting for the Arkansas National Guard The ob- jection to recruiting seems to be that there is little belief that recruits will really be needed. Should there be a call for volunteers, and a declaration of war be made, then volunteers will fall over themselves to get to the re- cruiting offices.
 Practically all automobiles in the city now carry flags, and in Little Rock churches Sunday morning the congregations sang "America."
 Several additional companies ar rived at Fort Logan H. Roots on Sunday afternoon and Monday morn- ing, and of the two regiments only about four companies are now absent. These are expected before Wednes- day, when the Arkansas National Guard will be the guest of the busi- ness men of Little Rock at the base ball game between Atlanta and Little Rock, and for barbecue afterwards. The troops will probably entrain for the border Thursday, or the last of the week at latest.
 The Arkansas Gazette is the latest local concern to urge enlistment among it's employees. Six employees of the paper have availed themselves of the opportunity, and will receive each month the difference between the gov ernment pay and what they drew on the paper, from the accounting room of the Gazette.

EXPOSITION COMMIS.
 SION WANTS S4,5OO
Amount Required to Pay for Medals Won at San Francisco Exposition Took 313 and Only Two Delivered.

Little Rock, June 26.-The iirec- tors of he Arkansas Panama Pacific international EXposition Commission are ende avoring tc raise about $4,500 to purchase the medals which were awarded to Arkansas exhibitors, but which will not be delivered unless they are paid for.
 "Arkansas took 313 medals at the San Francisco eXposition,' says Hil- lory Jennings, secretary of the Com mission" and so far only about two of them have been delivered. The exhibitors who won these sent in the amount demanded in order to get them. Arkansas took over 30 more medals on fruit than California, and when they saw Arkansas was going to get the sweepstakes prize they made a ruling that no state that did not participate from the opening day could compete. As we opened on June 1, we were barred, but we did get the only two state medals of honor that were issued. We did this on one car of apples sent out in May that was without ice after it passed Ogden, Utah, and on another car sent out in September. Out of 2,50O sets of apples, of five boxes each, Ar kansas had five boxes in the final round of competition, and when the last of these was thrown out, only one box remained.
 "Arkansas also won the first prize or Boys Corn Clubs, for the greatest yield with the smallest cost, nearly 60 bushels to the acre, and for sev- enty days there was no rain on the crop. think this is very good showing for Arkansas with as little to make it with as any state ever had
 -I mean financially.
 "The exposition people demand the cost of the medals, and the gold ones are worth $15 each. We will raise the money if we can, for we want every Arkansas exhibitor to be satis- fed"

RAY GILL WILL ASSUME
 NEW DUTIES SUNDAY

Little Rock, June 26.-Ray Gill, who has resigned from the Depart ment of Education, where he was deputy commissioner, will leave for Fort Smith next Sunday to enter upon his duties as secretary of the Border City commercial organization. MT. Gill is one of the best speakers in Arkansas, and will represent Fort Smith on the Arkansas on Wheels train, insuring his city of excellent representation.
 One of MT. Gill's first ventures will be fall festival, which will have many unique features. He proposes to scatter the exhibit and make use of all vacant buildings in the business section for the purpose MT. Gill also figures that the street fakirs so com mon to fairs and festivals are not essential to the success of such a Ven- ture. He argues that they only take money out of town, and what they pay for privileges is immediately paid out for extra police protection. Mr Gill will endeavor to have the merchants of Fort Smith conduct soft drink booths in front of their stores, and also sell novelties, this keeping all profits at home.

until the Mexican government had been given an opportunity to reply.
 The president told those at the con ference tonight of the note from Gen eral Carranza avowing the attack on American troops at Carrizal and of the reply that he had directed to be sent. Senator Stone was very em- phatic afterward in regard to the de- mand for release of the prisoners.
 We must have those men, he said The senator believes that war Vir- tually is here.
 "If they are going to attack our men without cause" he said, there is only one thing to do. We will never have peace down there until we use force enough to compel it."
 The military situation may be in- fluencing the Administrations diplo- matic course, as we'll as the desire to make it clear that the United States is being forced into warlike measures by the hostility of General Carranza.
 Speeding Mobilization.
 The War Department is making every esort to speed up mobilization of the National Guard. A few com panies have been mustered in. Others will take the oath tomorrow In AS hours, probably, a substantial force will be en route to the border to back up General Fusston's line. It may be four or five days before War De partment officials will feel safe in withdrawing regulars from the bor- der patrol to form the cutting edge of whatever force they may hurl to the support of General Pershing's column should aggressive action be ordered.
 It seems doubtful that a formal diplomatic rupture will be forced be- fore adequate military precautions are possible, particularly as it has been indicated that quick, drastic ac- tion is President Wilson's desire should General Carranza force the use of the army against him.

STAN 0RIDGE LEADS
 BREAK AT TUCKER
Eighteen Convicts Hold Up Guards, Gel Guns, and Els cape From the State Farm at Midnight.

Led by Yates Standridge, notorious criminal, and armed with guns and re- volvers smuggled from the outside, F convicts held up two guards, forced them to open case of guns and re- volvers in the office, then escaped from the state farm at Tucker, lief ferson county, at midnight.
 Some of the men, according to the early reports received at the pen1ten- tiary here at 12:55 o'clock this (Mon- day) morning, were: Charles Meyers, Jim Hayden, John Needham, Shorty Williams, Joe Johnson and Clayton Patrick. Two hundred and fifty other convicts in the stockade slept through the delivery.
 Night Watchman Stout, employed by the Penitentiary Commission, and trusty guard were held up by the men and forced at the point of guns to unlock the stockade door and to open the gun case in the office.-Ar- kansas Gazette, June 26.

Washington, June 25.-A demand for the immediate release of the American troopers taken prisoner at Carrizal, coupled with notification that the United States expects an early statement of the purposes of the Carranza government was tele- graphed to Mexico City today by Sec retary Lansing.
 The state department received yes terday a communication from the Carranza government stating that the Carrizal fight was the direct result of orders to attack American soldiers moving otherwise than toward the border, personally issued by General Carranza to General Trevino and by the latter communicated to General Pershing.
 Requires Definite Statement.
 In reply Secretary Lansing requires that the Carranza government trans init a definite statement "as 10 the course of action it has determined up- on through the usual diplomatic channels land not through subordin- ate military officers"
 The Mexican communication is con- strued as a formal avowal of deliber- ately hostile action against the forces of the United States now in Mexico and of the purpose to attack without provocation whenever they move from their present position, despite the friendly mission on which they are engaged and which is re-affirmed in the American rejoinder.
 Force Will Meet Force.
 The intimation lies behind the re- strained language of Mir. Lansing's communication that force will be met with force. Apparently, however. the Washington government is determined the Carranza government shall not evade responsibility before the world if war is forced upon the United States.
 The note and the military situation of the United States were talked over at the White House tonight by the president, with Chairman Stone of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Lodge, ranking Republican member, and Chairman Flood of the house Committee on Foreign Affairs.
 
 President Wilson had felt it neces- sary to acquaint Congress with the state of affairs and the action taken, through the Foreign Affairs Commit tees. He may address joint session of the house and Senate in a day or two, but will not take this final step

 Rochelle, La, June 25th, 1916. Editor Prescott News, Prescott, Arkansas. Dear Sir

 Vapt. A. N. c. MT. Smith was captain of the com pany during his residence here and it was one of the best in Arkansas.

IMMIGRANT FLOOD
AFTER WAR LIKELY
Unfair to Americans and New
Corners, Too, Says Commits
sioner Caminetti- Shows
Wages Are Low.

Indianapolis. May 15.-The tide of
emigration will flow so strongly after
the conclusion Of the European war
that 1,O0O.O 600 foreigners will pour into
America within the first IL months Of
peace. according to a statement made
at the general session of the national
conference Of charities and corrections
by Anthony Caminetti, commissioner
general of emigration.
"A government commission has found
that between o~ne-fourth and one-third
OF the workers of this country are get

said MIR. Caminetti. ut has also been
established that the living wage for a
small family is SIS a week. Considering
this fact. is 1T justice to the people al
ready here, or to the emigrants, to per-
NIT a great flood of emigration without
adequate preparation?
ut is hard to tell o just what will
be the effect Of the close Of the war up.
on unemployment. 1t is certain that
immigration will be greatly increased.
There were $4,000 immigrants in Janu-
airy last and $4,000 las month.
1T is safe to say that there will be
a million immigrants in the first year
after peace is established. The peo-
pie coming in from the outside will de-
ermine the veal or woe of his coun-
try"
Mr.. Caminetti continued:
Think Of the injustice of this great
government which expects so much Of
the people in war and in peace, but
which lets the local community bea1
the burden of educating III future
citizens of the nation" he said.
The problem Of unemployment, he
said would be solved by the orpora-
ton of the federal government, the
state government, the city government
and every organization and individual.
The proper place for solving the prob
lem Mr.. Caminetti said was in the

GERMAN Note DELAYS
PROTEST TO BRITAIN
Next Step Complicated BY Tone
of Acquiescence to Amer
lean Demands.

Washington. May 15-America's next
step in the negotiations with the entente
allies regarding treatment of neutral
will be delayed on account
of implied threats contained in the
German note Of May 5. in which the
imperial government expressed conf
dence that in view of new orders issued
for the submarine warfare the German
government would insist ION Great
Britain following the rules in dealing
with trade" n "reserving to itself
complete liberty of decision" unless
this end was accomplished.
1t was stated authoritatively today
that Germany's note had complicated
the situation, making it Impossible for
the United States to press it's demands
upon the allies at once without appear
ing to do SO at the bidding of the Ber-
lin government and consequently it was
uncertain when a reply would go forth
to the latest British communication.
