SHOOTS SELF IN HEAD.
With Bullet Wound Through Brain,
Boyle Man May Live.

Memphis. - With a bullet hole
through head and the front part of
his brain, according to his physician,
Oswell Ward Of Boyle, Miss, has nov
req led consciousness and may re.
cover. Ward shot himself with a re-
volver in his room at the CASTOR Hotel.
He was rushed Immediately to the hos
pital for treatment.
Unless complications set in Wards
recovery is expected. If he does re-
cover, he will owe his life to modern
medical science.
Ward shot himself between the right
temple and the ear, about half an inch
from the ear. The bullet came out on
the opposite side in a corresponding
place. If he does live 1t seems doubt
full just nov whether his eyesight will
be restored, for 1t is feared that some
optic nerve may be severed.
When Ward shot himself he was in
a with his wife and four children.
The children were asleep. Telling his
wife to stand back, he placed the muz-
zle of the revolver to his head and
fired, Dependency over a mental
trouble, which he thought would bring
on insanity, was responsible for his
act. He was a merchant in Boyle until
a few weeks ago, when he sold out
on account OF his failing health.

AUSTRlANS RETREAT HASTILY
Divided Army Seriously Endangered
Following Split Of Forces When
Czernowitz Is Surrendered.

London.-The Russians are pressing
close on the Austrians' zeal In Buko-
wilma. The Austrians were compelled
to retreat hastily after the fall Of Ger
nowitz. According to q Petrograd cor
respondent, the Russians advanced -
miles in one day southwark from Ger
nowitz, and the army Of Gen. Pflanzer
is believed to have been split into two
or more segments.
1t Is stated that the Austrians and
Germans have sent re-enforcements to
the southwestern front from the Ital.
ian, French and Balkan war zones, as
well as from the Pinsk and Baranovi.
chi regions. The Germans arrived too
late at the Lutsk front to relieve the
A%ustrians, having reached this region
three days after the beginning of Gen.
Brussiloff's drive.
Gen. kaledines is pressing westward
to the south of Vladimir. Volynski with
the intention of cutting his opponents
communications between Kovel and
Lemoerg. His advance, if maintain
ed, would enable him to block TIT

CONSIDER VOLUNTEER CALL
Administration Has Plan For Puttinu
100000 Extra Men in Field-Rush
Guard To Border.

Notwithstanding administration is
considering a call for 100000 volua.
teers.
Secretary Of War Baker, who attend.
ed the cabinet meeting June 20, de-.
cllned to make any statement on the
subject, but high officers said an.
nouncement of the plan waits upon
news from Gen. Pershing's headquar.
tiers.
Officials declared there are only two
alternatives for Carranza. Either he
VIII submit tamely to threats Of phys
zeal force contained In Secretary Lans-
ing's note or he will call on all Next
cans to make war on the United
States.
In the first event the federal army
now in Mexico or along the border.
supplemented by the 100, 900 or more
national guard troops to go there, will
be sufficient to carry cut any fur
ther waiting and watching policy.
In the second event, officials have
decided, 1t will require probably half
a million more men to face the situa-
ton In Mexico. Reports from Gen.
Pershing stated that Mexican people
within the sphere of influence of the
American army are opposed to Car.
anza This condition does not OBJ
tain, 1t was admitted, in territory real
ly controlled by Carranza.
Secretary Of War Baker will confer
with President Wilson on the dispo-
sition of the national guard.
1t was stated by a high authority
that the national guard Of New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin and
possibly Illinois, will be the first to
be sent to the border.
The militia Of those states was Sc
lected, 1t was stated, because of their
perfect equipment and readiness for
moving.
Maj.-Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, chief Of
the mobile army division, and Brig.
Gen. H. p. Mccain, Acknowledgement,
held a conference at which it is
believed they planned orders fer por-
tions Of the militia to start for the
border at once.

misunderstanding to advices re-
ceived here, Judge Chambers, head Of
the federal board of arbitration, media
ton and Cancellation, will come to Gulf
port from Washington to take up the
question Of arbitrating the differences
between railway labor unions and the
management of the Gulf & Ship Island.
1t has not yet been determined
whether the board of arbitration will
sit in Jackson or Gulfport, but it Is
probable that several sittings will be
held in this city.
In some respects the recent strike
on the Ship Island was the most re-
markable in the history of railway
labor troubles. 1t was the first time
that a railway system has ever been
completely tied up, all employees of the
operating department joining in the
walkout. Second, its adjudication by
agreement to arbitrate was the quick
est on record, lasting from June 16 to
June 20.
1t is understood that during the ne
gotiations about to be made, should a
formal contract be signed between the
company and its employees, the COM
pany will insist on a special clause
providing that, in event the general
railroad strike now threatened is
called, it must not apply to the Gulf
G. Ship Island road, Unless the agree
ment covers this point it will of course
be worthless.

WAR CLOUD GROWS DARKER
Carranza Garrison at Juarez Dig En-
trenchments TO Repel U. S. Force
Mexican Troops Are Moving.

FL Paso, TeXas-The warlike suarl
from tle Mexican side q the border is
growing louder and more msnacing as
the hours 30 by ~Carranzista troops
have worked hard, throwing UP earth
Qualifications at the south end Of the
international bridge. Another large
force has eutrenched across the Rio
Grande from Ysleta, 10 miles south Of
FL Paso.
An American believed to be a sol
der was shot by snipers from Juarez
while bathing in the river near tho
Santa Fe bridge. Gen. Bell has or.
dered an investigation to establish
the identity Of the victim.
A refugee train from Chihuahua
brought out a number Of foreigners,
who reported passing seven troop
trains loaded to the guards with MeX.
lean soldiers at Montezuma on the
Mexican Central. The trains were
moving In the direction Of Juarez and
are expected to arrive during the
night.
Gen. Francisco Serrano, chief Of
staff to Minister Of War ObrcEon IN
Mexico City, has established headquar-
tiers in Jnarez and assumed full com
mand of the Carran2a forces in this
district.
The Mexican Northwestern railroad
from Chihuahua City to MADEIRA, has
been c0mmandeered by Gen. JacintO
Treyino for troop movements to the
westward. This is accepted by the
American military authorities as veri'
fication OF the plan to attack Gen.

in the vicinity of Namiquipa.
The Mexican column, estimated at
S 600 men, which started through the

Of the American line of com.

feet Mexican Situatlon-Rush Ma
tionaI Guard Mobilization.

Washfngton.-Both the United States
government and the de facto authori-
ties OF Mexico apparently hope to treat
the clash at Carrizal as an incident
a~ggravating gravely strained relations,
but not of itself likely to p~recipitate
general hostilities. This fact stood
out Of many developments in the Next
can crisis.
So far as the Washington admins
tration is concerned, no final decision
can be reached until President Wilson
has received a report on the fight from
American army officers. All informa-
ton so far has come from Mexican
sources.
Secretary Baker has telegraphed the
state governors asking each how soon
the national guard organizations in his
state called out by President Wilson
would be ready for muster into the fed
eral service.
Orders have gone from the War De-
partment to Gen. Barry at Chicago
commanding the central department,
and Gen. Bell at San Francisco, com
handing the western department, di-
recting that as soon as 5000 national
%guardsmen have been mustered into
the federal service in either depart
ment they shall be dispatched to the
border.
Events are moving swiftly. Prepa-
rations by the War Department for
possible war with Mexico are going
forward rapidly. At the same time
there came hints that Gen. Carranza
had been almost persuaded by Euro
pean influences not to persist in a
cause certain to bring on a conflict.

GREECE YIELDS TO
ALLIES ULTIMATUM
ENTENTE POWERS AS PROTECT.
ORS" MAKE STRINGENT DE-
MANDS UPON KING.
CABINET MEL BERS RESIGN
Foreign Premier Zamais ls To Form
a New Ministry-EVery Demand
Of the Allies VIII Prob
ably Be Met.

Athens.-Under heavy pressure from
the entente powers, Greece has &C.
cepted without reserve demands pre-.
scented In a joint note by Great Brit.
ain, France and Russia.
At tho most critical moment Greece
was without a government, Premier
Skouloudis announced to the chamber
OF deputies the resignation Of himself
and his associates in the cabinet and
the failure for the present to obtain
successors to them.
NJ. Skoul0udis refused TO receive
the communication from the entente
powers on the ground that no Greek
cabinet existed, as the note was de-
posted at the foreign office while he
was on his way back from the resi-.
dence Of the king, where he presented
the resignation Of the ministry. On
this account, he explained, he could
not discuss the demands.
Before 1t became known that Greece
had decided to yield, 1t was said in
government circles that it would be
an impossibility to accede to the de-
mands.
The action Of the entente came on
n Of the hottest days in years. The
king was at Chateau Tatoy, shops were
closed and the ministries were desert
ed when the blow fell. The people
were unaware what had occurred un-
I'll well on toward evening, when news
papers and hand bills made known
the text Of the demands.
Meanwhile King Constantine return
ed hastily. All troops in the city were
ordered under arms. The deputies
were summoned to the chamber,
where Premier S%kouloudis announced
that he had resigned. The chamber
adjourned Immediately, cheering the
retiring ministers.
Former Premier Zanias Is to form
q new ministry.
The text of the note delivered to
Greece by representatives Of Great
Britain, France and Russia, which
under the protocol Of London assumed
protection of the kingdom Of Greece,
In part, follows:
THE three guaranteeing powers do
not require Greece to abandon her
neutrality. They give striking proof
of this by advancing primarily q de-
mand for demobilizat' fThey have,
however, certain CO. Ants against
the Greek government, whose attitude
is not one of loyal neutrality"

successful attempt to take out a pas
senger train June II on the Gulf &
Ship Island Railroad. was shot three

killed while returning from the train
under the escort of the city police. A
mob was following the strikebreakers
and although a large crowd had as
sembled on Thirteenth street and
Twenty-seventh avenue, where the kill.
ing occurred, the evidence before the
coroner's jury was of a conflicting ma,
ture. Several witnesses testified that
Alfred Jenkins, an extra police officer,
shot Trigg in self-defense.
The mar was left to die in the mid
die Of the street. A lady who had
alighted from a street car was his
only attendant in the last few mo-
ments of his life. She advanced and
raised his head from the pavement as
the man expired.
Not a single train has arrived in OF
