MORE GUARDSMEN
TO BE SENT SOUTH

Washington, Sept. 17.-All National
Guard organizations, which have been
held at state mobilization points since
they were mustered into the Federal
service, are scheduled to start for the
Mexican border soon. Officials indicat-
ed Saturday that they probably would
go within two weeks.
One thing may alter this policy,
though officials now think it will not.
That is lack of funds for transporta-
tion
Although no account of the expen-
ditures incident to the border situa-
ton has been made public, reports in
dicate that the department virtually
has exhausted its funds and will face
a heavy deficit before another appro-
priation can be secured from Congress
to meet the expenses of the border
campaign. If the guard movements
continue it will be necessary to have
an urgent deficiency appropriation bill
put through as soon as Congress
meets in December. Exclusive of the
North Carolina organizations ordered
to the border Saturday there are 49,
600 guardSmen who have been held in
their state camp. Reports to the War
Department received during the last
few days show that these units have
been properly equipped and recruited
and are prepared for duty.

j. s. NAVY LETTERS
OPEN Ed BY THE
BRITISH CENSORS

Washington, Sept. 17.-British CEN
sorship of United States mail has ex-
tended to official letters to the Navy
Department from the far east. On the
eve Of the arrival of Great Britain's
note replying to State Department pro-
tests regarding the mail censorship it
as learned Saturday at the Navy De-
partment that censors at Vancouver,
B. c., have opened several letters ad-
dressed to the department from navy
officers at Hong Kong, some of whom
have the diplomatic status of naval
attaches.
Admiral Benson, acting secretary,
said the interference with official mail
had been called to the attention Of
the State Department in each instance
and protests had been made to London.
The censorship, he explained, appar-
emily had not been general, as many
similar letters had been received un-
opened and mail going east had not
been disturbed.
The post office department recently
cancelled contracts for transportation
of mail to Orient on vessels plying
to British Columbia ports in favor Of
ships going direct to Seattle and San
Francisco.

THE CAPTURE OF
MOUQUET FARM

With the British Army in France. Sept
T.-(Via London. Sept. 1S(.-The British
today took the Mouquet farm. On two
former occasions they had been on ths
premises but were unable to remain there.
1t was a strong point on the right of the
British battle line where a garrison Of
Germans and their machine guns seemed
proof against shell fire.
They had the usual deep cellars and
runways underground, and driven from
one exit by shell fire them would emerge
from another. The British got entirely
around their burrows and called down the
stairs for them to surrender. The Ger
mans thought that a counter attack
would come to their assistance as beforA
The British, however. assured them that
none would come as they had the trench
all the way around the farm to prevent
their exterior aid from coming to them.
Still the Germans refused to yield and
the final result Of this grim colloquy was
the British blew in all the cellar doom.

Crockett is on his way through by

Mass
Alton Tobey of Augusta is visiting
his grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. F. b.
Tobey.
1t begins to look as thought there
would be a pretty fair crop of apples
in the town of Winthrop this year. For
some parts of the town apples were
badly damaged by hail stones and
some farmers lost their seasons crop
in just a few minutes. But these
losses are confined to very small
area of the apple section and will not
make any large reduction in the
amount of fruit available for the buy
ers. Although there is a light crop of
apples reported in the West, the buy
ers as yet have not offered any at
tractive prices to the farmers for their
apples. Although of course it is a bit
early to talk prices on winter apples,
as a month or so may greatly change
the transportation service of fruit
across the water.

Helen and Edith. returned Friday to

IS THREATENING
new YORK CITY

New York. Sept. 1.-THE Tidewater
Boatmen's Union with q membership, 1t
is said. Of 5000. tonight voted to go OIL
strike. No date was set for the men to
quit work. this being left. it was an
nounced. until after q conference between
delegates of the union and the executive
board Of the Longshoremen's Union to-
morrow night.
The strike, 1t was asserted, will be in
no way a sympathetic one with the car
men who quit their places on Sept. 6, but
will result from demand for better
working conditions and increased pay.
Although the men claim to handle all the
coal received in the city at tidewater. the
fact. they said. that the coal supply Of
the local transit companies may be en-
dangered was only incidental.
Heads Of the transit lines declared to-
night that the strike OF the car men was
ineffective. Service on subway and ele-
waited lines continued normal and steady
improvement was noted on all surface
roads. Few attempts at violence were re-
ported by the police today. Several mass
meetings were held in various parts OF
the city but there was no disorder. At
one gathering the financial and moral
support Of the Socialist party was as
sured to the striking car men.

BOGUS ART MEN
SEEK TO RETURN
ARTIST TO ASYLUM

New York, Sept. 17.-After every
thing had been done to make Lyn-
wood Lodge. Snglewood. N. j., a place
where Ralph Albert Blakelock could
again paint as he did before his con-
finement to the Middletown insane
asylum, Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Adams.
who directed the fight that won the
artist his freedom, announced Satur-
day night that she had brought Blake
lock to New York Saturday to make
this his permanent home. Fear that an
organized effort, now being made.
would result in Blakelock's recommit-
ment to an asylum, caused her to take
this step, Mrs. Adams said.
THE 'Wallingfords' among the art
dealers who have spurious Blakelocks
to sell are greatly concerned over his
freedom" Mrs. Adams said. with Mr..
Blakelock going about the country GER
tifying those paintings which are
bona fide. it has become exceedingly
difficult for the dishonest dealers to
dispose of their fakes.
Il am not ready Just now to state
Just who are behind the movement to
embarrass me in my attempt to keep
Mr.. Blakelock Free" Mrs. Adams add
ed. but 1t would seem they are being
aided from quarter where one would
least expect It,"
Mrs Adams declared that on the
day Blakelock was released he visited
the Rheinhardt gallery where an exhi-
bition of his works was being held and
pointed out a small canvas which he
declared was a forgery. Ever since
that time Mrs. Adams said, obstacles
have been thrown in her path.
A studio. probably in the suburbs.
will be fitted out at once. Mrs. Adams
said, where Mr.. Blakelock, Elliot Dain-
gerfield and Harry w. Watrous, secre-
tary of the National Academy Of De-
signs, can begin Immediately the GER
tification of the artists paintings. Ac-
cording to Mrs Adams, a vigorous
campaign will be waged against deal
ers who attempt to sell imitation
Blakelocks.
