House Passes Defense
Council and Consta-
bulary Bills
Senate Adopts Tick, Bridge
Protection and Sediion
Measures

Baton Rouge, La, July 16.-The
House of Representatives tonight,
at the beginning of the second week
of the extraordinary session of the
General Assembly, passed the Jones
bill creating State Council of De-
tense and the Schexnayder bill pro-
viding for state military reserve,
or constabulary.
Both bills were passed by over
whelming majorities. The Council
Of Defense bill went through by a
vote of 95 yeas against 6 nays,
while the constabulary bill was pass
ed by the decisive vote of 80 yeas
against 18 nays.
The Senate, by vote of % to II,
passed the Williamson tick eradica-
ton bill tonight, carrying with it the
provision requiring the dipping Of
cattle every fourteen days.
The Senate also passed the Do
mengeaux bill protecting bridges
used by troops and the Boatner bill
penalizing sedition and insurrection.
The House passed another war
measure-the Schexnayder bill re-
quiring the registration of aliens in
Louisiana.
The action of the House and Sen~
ate tonight in passing the Council
of Defense, constabulary and tick
eradication bills, three measures that
had aroused contests in both branch
es, had an important effect in clari-
flying the legislative atmosphere.
The passage of the bills in the House
where they originated, bu such deci-
sive majorities, was taken to mean
that the three measures would be-
come laws Although the opponents
of the tick eradication bill in the
House and the opposition to the con-
stabulary bill in. the Senate are still
showing fight and say they have not
given up, the indications are that
both bills will finally pass.
When the Senate and House con-
vened after the weekend recess,
were impending over eight
bills, namely, the Upton bill, prohi-
biting the sale of liquor within ten
niles of Camp Stafford; the Will
amson tick eradication bill; the
Alexander highway bill; the Barret

Smashing Teutolic Lines
At Many Points
Terrific Struggle on Long Line
Between Russians and
Ausho-Cermans

Again the Teutonic allies have
suffered reverses-in the loss to the
Russians Of part Of the village Of
Lodziany, in the Lomnica river re-
gion of Galicia; in the repulse Of an
attack by the Russians northeast of
Kalusz, and in the Champagne re-
gion of France, where the French
drove them from their positions they
had recaptured, inflieting heavy cas-
ualties on them.
From Riga on the Baltic sea to the
Rumanian frontier the Russians and
Austro- Germans along the entire
front are engaged in battle, but ex-
cept in 'Galicia, where the Russians
continue to develop thrusts of the
Teutons, little has yet become
known concerning the operations.
Not alone have the Russians, in
their drive in Galicia made consider
able gains Of terrain, but their cap
lures of men, guns and material
have been enormous. From July /
to July 13, according to Russian
official communication, 36,643 Off
GERS and men of the Teutonic allied
armies have been made prisoner by
General Brussiloff's forces, and 90
heavy and light guns, % trench
4O3 machine guns and 81
guns Of other descriptions have been
taken.

ARCADE TONIGHT

The fight q man and woman make
against the lure of sin forms the dra
matte action of "Sou1s Triumphant, y
a Triangle play featuring Wilfred
Lucas and Lillian .Cish, which win be
shown at the Arcade tonight.
Lucas appears as a young libeg-
tine who has always satisfied his de-
sires in night 'revelry. Among his
associates is a scarlet woman with
whom he has been infatuated. i
In company with her and other
ceIebrants he visits a roadhouse one
morning following an all night car
ousal., He quits the company and
goes for a stroll through the woods,
where he meets Lillian Gish, the
daughter Of country rector. A new
sort of love is aroused in him and he
resolves to win her respect. Eventu-
ally they are married and their hap
piness seems assured until the hus-
band feels the lure of the past and
returns to former pleasures.
But the all forgiving nobility of
his girl wife and the part she plays
inaverting tragedy that threaten
ed them wins the husband to a finer
of his home life.

Entire Shipping Building
Comes To A Halt
Delay Caused by Differences
Between Gen. Coethals and
Chairman Denman

Washington, July 16.-The gov
ernment's merchant shipbuilding
program was halted today when
Major General Goethals, manager
Of the Shipping Boards Fleet Cor
poration, postponed his plan to re-
QUESTION all steel merchant ships un-
der construction and to let contracts
for building two government-owned
shipyafds for fabricating steel ships.
At General Goethals' Office it was
said the postponement was due to a
request by Chairman Denman, Of
the Shipping Board, for a short de-
lay to give the board time to go over
the program. This was denied at the
Shipping Board; although the state
ment was made that General Goeth-
ais had been asked to supply addi-
tional information concerning his
plans.
Development today was regarded
as bringing to direct issue the
question of who is to have supreme
authority in carrying out the build
ing program-Chairman Denman or
General Goethals. Authority to
spend $3.50, ,000,00 for acquiring a
great merchant fleet has been divid-
ed in an executive order between
the Shipping Board and its corpora
ton, the board being authorized to
acquire vessels by purchase and the
corporation to take charge of build
ing. -
In announcing his program last
Friday General Goethals apparently
assumed that as manager Of the the
corporation he should be given
free hand, but Mr.: Denman, in a
statement tonight, assumes response
bility for the Shipping Board, whose
members are directors and stock
holders of the corporation.
