NEGRO TROOPS RIOT FOLLOWING INSULTS Provost Guard Called Out and Fires on Dis
 turbers.

San Antonio, Tex, July 25.-The rlotlng of certain members of the Eighth Illinois Infantry, composed of negroes, and the alleged shirking by whole squads of the First Illinois bri- gade on practice march yesterday, were the topics of much comment to- day. Negro guardsmen said that slurs cast on them by whites, both civilian and military, led to the attack on Herbert Henne.' Some of them chased Henne from his automobile into saloon where he defended him. self until a provost guard of regulars arrived and fired on the militiamen, slightly wounding three of them. Tn he incident is regarded as closed except for trial of the actual culprits.
 The troubles of the First Illinois brigade composed of the First, Sec- ond and Seventh Infantry Regiments, according to the men, were due to the heat and an effort of the First Regi- ment, generally rated one of the best militia organizations in the country, to set a new record for the distance to Leon Springs. Regular army off, cers, including Gen. Funston, charged shirking. The First set a rapid pace and gained fifty minutes on the other two regiments, but finished the ten miles of the days route with forty per cent. of the roster missing. They fell out because of the heat, they said, but all were in the ranks this morn- ing when the second stage of the march, ten miles, was begun. The Second and the Seventh maintained a normal cadence yesterday and stood the heat much better than the First Altogether the showing of the brigade
 
 Funston who asserted that he knew the men were in good physical condi- ton and needed even harder work to season them properly.

 RUSSIANS PIERCE GERMAN LINE
RUNAWAY WIFE AND PARAMOUR ARRESTED Couple from Frankfort, N. Y. Charged With Steal
 ing $500.

After trailing his wife since May B, Peter Zukswicki of Frankfort Village, New York, located her in this city and this morning with Detective Ser geant Samuel Bamforth and Detective Officer A. J. Richardson the truant wife, Stella, was arrested in a house at 51 Laurel street. Later Detective Richardson rounded up Julian Groch, said to be the woman's paramour and the man with whom she eloped In May and with whom she has been liv- ing as his wife, and placed him under arrest. Both of the couple are charged with stealing $500 from the deserted husband before they left Frankfort.
 According to the story told the local police by Zukswicki he was living happily with his wife in the village of Frankfort when Groch loOmed up on the horizon. Julian sought board at his home and as the extra money was needed he was taken in. Then the trouble began. The wife seemed to prefer the boarder to her husband and on May left the town with him, not without taking the $500 that Peter had saved, it is alleged. Evidently the couple came directly to this city
 Although Peter sought far and near he could not find any trace of his missing spouse until she wrote a letter from this city to another woman in Frankfort The friend told another friend and soon the inevita ble chain was completed and the husband knew of his wife's whereabouts. A week ago he came to this city and secured work at the Traut & Hine Manufac- turing company, entirely unaware that he was daily laboring within a stones throw of the wife he was seeking He had a number of pictures of his wife and of Groch and showed them to various people until finally some- one recognized them as the people who were living at 51 Laurel street. He then sought the police.
 Gives Name of George Traut.
 As the two policemen and the irate husband were walking down Laurel street this morning they came face to face with the runaway. She turned and fled into the house where she was arrested. Groch was arrested at the North & Judd factory. Another moi dent in this connection is that Groch was going under an assumed nam9 and chose that of George Traut, the real owner Of that cognomen being none other than the president and treasurer of the Traut & Hine com

 Another speech by Emperor Will

 Comrades: It Is your especial

 up during the years before the war the combination of countries which at a given signal fell upon us, att tackled us, the most peaceful and peace desiring people in the world The English led us to believe they were our friends when they were actually plotting our destruction. English diplomacy brought the war, and now an English offensive is intended to carry the operations to German soil, into our towns and vil- | 1ages, to the peril and undoing of 1 our helpless women and children. Your duty is to break the English of- fensive; to prove once more that Ger I many Is invincible, and reduce to dis pair the relentless enemies of our country so that they will sue for peace on terms honorable and profit able to Germany

fcCted D1SII1CCS.
 New York. July 25.-In an effort to kring about greater uniformity m quarantine measures taken by other states against the spread of infantile paralysis from New York City, pr. Charles E. Banks, senior member or the federal staff sent here to cooper ate with the local authorities, went to Hartford today for a conference with the health authorities of Connecticut. Dr. Banks intends to visit Trenton, N. J.. tomorrow. He will try to ar range a working agreement between state or town authorities and the federal authorities so that travellers may be under systematic regula- ton.
 At present it is alm lost impossible for persons who wish to take children from New York City to ascertain what forms of quarantine they will encounter during the journey or at their destination. Inquiry at the headquarters of the railroads showed that methods of quarantine in differ ent communities differ widely and that individual cities and towns make frequent changes in their regulations. For this reason it was said that the railroads advised that travellers be- fore leaving New York telegraph ahead for definite information at their intended destinations.
 Beginning today federal medical in spection of children leaving the city for points outside the state is com rulsory. All railroad and steamship lines were notified to that effect.
 
 gates were instructed not to pass children holding tickets for points in other states unless they could show the federal certificates
 Both deaths and new cases in creased today in the epidemic of in fantile paralysis. During the twenty four hour period ending at 10 a. m., thirty eight children died of the dis ease and 150 were stricken.
 Since the beginning of the epidemic a month ago today there have been 647 deaths and 3.OeS cases.
 Dr. Charles E. Banks of the United States health service in charge of the interstate traffic regulations made by the government in New York city said today all railroads are co-operat- ing with the surgeons to the fullest extent. Many of the roads, he said, have instructed their agents not to sell tickets to children.
 The health commissioner warns against the use of wood alcohol for bathing children. This. he said, might cause poisoning and blindness among the patients He recommended grain alcohol.
 Because of the epidemic the Salva- ton Armys fresh air home at North Branch, N. J.. has been closed to more than 5000 mothers and children from the slums of New York city,
