GUARDSMEN TO TRAIN
IN THE NORTHWEST
American Lake, Near Tacoma, to Care
for $4,000 Men-Have a Good
Chance of Fighting.

Washington.-That portion of the
war department statement is signifi-
cant which says, in regard to nation
al guard organizations ''the neces-
sary arms, equipment and clothing
for recruits is not at present on
hand"
This probably accounts in meas
ure for deferring the calling of con
scripts to the colors until September
1. 1t will be seen from the forego-
ing that there is abundant opportu-
nifty for those who desire to get in
early before even the work of calling
up the national army is started
Also that Pacific Northwestern
guardsmen and selected men are to
be trained approximately in their
own country, unlike those in the
east. While all the war department
said was that American lake has been
designated as concentration camp
there are many indications that it is
to be occupied before winter by at
least $4,000 men.
Furthermore, it should be made
clear that the men trained in the Pa
cific northwest have just as good a
chance of getting to the fighting front
as those trained in any other section
of the country.

GRAIN MEN AGREE TO
SYSTEM OF FOOD CONTROL
Statement From Committee Declares
Administration Should Be Limited
to War-UpheavaI Predicted.


Washington.-After conference
between Herbert G.. Hoover and
special committee of the council of
grain exchanges and a committee from
the Western Grain exchange, the fol-
lowing statement has been issued on
behalf of the committee:
"The conclusion was reached by the
representatives of the grain trade
that the abnormal conditions existing
today as regards the necessity for
conservation of the food supply of
this country called for the creation of
a food administration clothed with
the necessary powers to work out
the unusual problem resulting from
the world war and that the existence
of such food administration should be
limited to the duration of the war.
"The representatives of the grain
trade are convinced that with the
elimination of waste and proper con-
servation in this country an ample
supply of grain will be available for
domestic consumption as we'll as to
PROVIDE Tor the requirements OF our
allies, and that the problem therefore
is one of administration"
Predictions of social upheaval I'M
less the rising prices of food are
checked, were made by George w.
Anderson, United States attorney at
Boston and special assistant to At
torney General Gregory in coordina-
ton of food Investigations, before the
house agricultural committee, in con-
nection with the administration food
control bill.
Mr.. Anderson, with great emphasis,
made this statement:
Something must be done. That a
social and political upheaval is threat
ened can not be denied or disregard
ed. see the signs of it. Any one
with his ears to the ground knows it..
There will be phenomenon in Amer
lea inconsistent with law and order
unless something is done to prevent

Sail Moment Details Are Com
pleted-Wide Power Given
to the Chief.

Washington.-All three arms of
Americas fighting forces, the army,
navy and marine corps, soon will be
represented in the war zones. With
American destroyers already in Euro
pean waters, and army regulars con-
centrating to carry the flag to- the
battle lines in Belgium and France,
a regiment of marines was designated
Monday to join the expeditionary force
and round out the nations representa-
tion in the field
Force to Total 10000.
The marines will be attached to the
army division under General Perish
ing, which is under orders to pro-
coed abroad as soon as practicable.
Although details are not being made
public, it is calculated that with the
marine regiment the total Ameri-
can force now designated for land
service in Europe is close to 10000.
An army division at war strength
comprises about $4,000 men, and up
ward of 10000 are expected to be in
the nine volunteer regiments of en-
gineers now being recruited. The for
stry regiment and the marine regi-
ment each will number more than
1000. The strength of the naval
force in European waters has not
been revealed.
Wide Power to Pershing.
General Pershing and his staff will
sail for Europe ahead of the troops
to pave the way for final training of

as rapidly as men can be trained and
equipped. For obvious reasons no in
formation as to the time of the
American commanders departure or

A similar table of geographical dis
tribution of divisions for the new Sc
lective army also was given out. 1t

tional guard divisions. For purposes
of distinction the war department
has named the new forces the ina

Atlanta, Ga.-Fire that started at
noon in an obscure negro section swept
broad path through the residential
section of Atlanta, devastating scores
of blocks and destroying scores OF
blocks and destroying many of the
city's finest homes and hundreds of
negro houses.
First estimate of the damage
placed it at between 100000 and
100000. So far as could be learned
the only life lost was that Of WON
an who died from shock.
The blaze started in the Skinner
Storage company's plant, which is al
most surrounded by small frame
houses.
For blocks on all sides of the area
of destruction household goods are
piled in every open place. These were
guarded in most cases by national
guardsmen.
The presence of the soldiers direct.
ing traffic, guarding household goods
and keeping people from the danger
zone gave the appearance of martial
law. AS far as has been reported good
order has been maintained.
The fire har swept only few blocks
before relief measures were under.
taken by the Red Cross and the AS
sociated Charities, who joined forces.
Provide Food for 5000 People.
Food was provided at the armory for
5000 people. Army trucks, express
wagons and private automobiles were
pressed into service to handle food.

they were "going to feed everybody
who is hungry"
Some of the most serious losses were

used, scores of pretty homes in com
paratively new district Of the city be
ing blown up.
Aided by wide Ponce de Leon ave
que and the slowly dying wind, sol
diers, firemen and private citizens
and then a home on the north side OF
the avenue would catch fire, but for
almost two hours these outbreaks
were stopped. Then the flames gained
foothold across the street, swept on
block to Vedo way, and late at night
were moving slowly on in a north
easterly direction.
The fire was confined to the north
westerly part of the city and the only
business houses burned were severa
warehouses.
