Broken to little bits.
And the owner, and the chauffeur.

Have almost lost their wits.
The village blacksmith smiles with
glee
AS he lights his fat cigar.
He tells his helpers what to do
To straighten up the car.
And the owner, and the chauffeur,

Stand humbly where they are.
The village blacksmith puffs his
weed
And smiles smile OF cheer,
The while his helpers pump the tires
and monkey at the gear.
And the owner, and the chauffeur,
too,
Stand reverently near.
Behind the village blacksmith is
The portrait of his shop.
The shop is very large in size
With tiled roof on top.
And the owner. and the chauffeur,
At II were glad to stop.

They like to see him make his bills
and hear the owners roar.
And the chauffeurs weep as they

Good times simply means that

mean more production. II means ev-

during the colossal waste OF war.
there is business prosperity because
money is more liquid.

Bill Appropriating $64O,- 100000 Now Goes to Presi-
 dent For His Signature.
FOOD CONTROL
 BILL IS PASSED
Senate Virtually Rewrites Legisla- tiOn, Which Goes to Conference, and Leaders Hope to Finally Pass
 Bill Within Next Ten Days.

Washington, July 21.-The house bill appropriating $6lO,0O0,Oo0 to in- crease the aviation service, in an ef- fort to overwhelm Germanys air forces, was passed late today by the senate, without amendment or rec ord vote, after it had disposed of the food control bill.
 The avation measure now goes to the president.
 The senate's only dispute, with many members expressing desire to pass the bill immediately, was over an amendment by Senator Harwick of Georgia to strike out the caluse authorizing drafting men for the aer- ial service. The amendment was re- jected, G6 to 12, after Senators La Toilette and Gronna made brief speeches opposing Ire draft
 Details of expending the huge sum appropriated have been withheld, but it is known that it provides for about 22,O00 airplanes and nearly 100000 men.
 Tn rejecting the Hardwick amend ment, the dozen senators voting to strike out the draft clause were Bo- rah, Curtis, Gore, Gronna, Hardwick. Kirby, Lafollette, McKellar, Owen and Vardaman.
 In a vigorous speech opposing the draft clause, Senator LaFollette said that any war prosecuted by a democ- racy ought to be without compulsory service.

 CALLS FOR EXAMS.
Men Must Appear on Day Designated in Call to Submit tO Physical EX- axi,,ati0n--Final Figures Show
 Men in Third, Fourth Quotas.

Washington, July 21.--Desnite the fact that officers and clerks of Pro- vost Marshal Crowder's officers work cd all last night to complete the drawing that fixed the order of mill itary liability of 1O,O00,000 registrants tally sheets had been compared and corrected before dark tonight and the master list was in the hands of the printer.
 Capies will be mailed to local eX- emption boards beginning not later than next Tuesday, after which the summoning of the first draft of 697,- 900 men may begin.
 General Crowder made public the text of the regulations, for their ap- plication. which will accomptany the master lists The only new feature shown is the plan for handling cards that are found to have duplicate and also of dealing with those re- ceived June 1O, when the local boards closed their lists to begin numbering.
 Another step accomplished during the day was the appointment of the district boards in 32 of the states and announcement of the names of the i've men who will compose each of them. Some of the states have six or eight board to ease the task, fed eral judicial districts, the areas used for geegraphicas aistributnn of the boards being divided into two or three sections for that purpose, and sep arate board named for each.
 These district boards will have no functions until the local boards in their territory have tegun to certify to them the men found fitted for mill itary duty, physically. and not with dependents. The higher boards are courts of appeal either for individ-

BELGIAN MISSION
 AT LITTLE ROCK
 FOR VISIT TODAY
Tribe of Osage Indians Par ticipates in Welcome to
 Visitors at Tulsa.

Tulsa, Okla, July 21.-The Bel gian war mission was welcomed in the southwest today by some of the original Americans. A tribe of Osage Indians resplendent in gay shawls and beaded clothes comprised an 1m- portant part of the municipal com mittee that greeted the visitors. Chief Bacon Rind, head of the tribe, spoke the words of welcome in an Indian monotone that sounded like small automobile engine just getting start ed. His speech was interpreted by another respelndant Osage with the characteristic Indian name of Nc Carthy. Chief Bacon Rind told the Belgian visitors that he welcomed them as members of the great brotherhood of man whose lives and customs had been different from his, but those ideals and sentiments were the same. He also wished them a prompt restoration of their devastat- ed nation and said he prayed for a speedy ending of the war.
 The Belgians were greatly inter- ested in the Indians. Baron MOncheur replied to Chief Bacon Rind through the interpreter, and all of the mem- bers of the mission were introduced and shook hands with him and other tribesmen.
 Tulsa oil industry was not less in- teresting to the visitors, and after the Indian reception they were driven about the city to see the wells and the great tanks where the oil is stored. iFq
 This afternoon Baron Moncheur and General Leclerq addressed pub lie reception, telling again of the de- portation of the Belgian workmen that have followed the invasion of the Germans. The mission will leave to- night and spend tomorrow in Little Rock, Ark.
 Baron Moncheur has a special sem timenta] interest in his visit to Ar kansas, it being the former home of his wife, daughter of General Powell Clayton, once United States senator from Arkansas.

ID MAKE ND PEACE
 WI1H AUTOCRACY.
 DECLARES PREMIER
Lloyd George Says War Become Struggle Between
 Become Struggle Between

London, July 21.-"We can't make peace with a Germany dominated by autocracy," declared Premier Lloyd George.
 'The war now becomes a struggle between two definite groups of na- tional ideals. Significant in this re- spect is the news announced today of the accession of that brilliant Rus sian statesman, Kerensky, to the leadership of Russian democracy"
 q don't wish Germany to harbor any delusion," MT. Lloyd George con- tinued, that Great Britain will be put out of the fight until full liberty has been established. I predict it will not be long before the German chancellor delivers different speech and that is the one for which we are waiting"
 The premier said the statement of Mr. Michaelis contained phrases which would be understood only by the military powers of Germany. Un- less these were wiped out, he added, they would again plunge Europe into a welter of blood.
 The chance]lor's speech, Mir. Lloyd George said, offered no hope for Bel gium. The determination of the allies was that Belgium must be re- stored as free and independent people, not a German protectorate.
 At another point in his speech, which was delivered in London, the premier said:
 "Regarding the submarine menace, I must disagree with Chancellor Michaelis. Gradually we are increas- ing our protection and diminishing our losses"
 Speaking of the shipbuilding pro- gram, MT. Lloyd George said Great Britain this year would turn out four times as many ships this year as last year. In the last two months of 1917 as many ships will be finished as in all of 1916. In conclusion, the premier said the entente allies would go on fighting to the end, knowing that the future of mankind was in their: trust to maintain and defend

Teutonic Commander on
 Eastern Front Takes Ad- : vantage of Disaffection
LEADERS CHECK
 RUSS RETREAT
Rumanian Front Now Scene of Spirit ed Infantry Actions, With Adyan- 
 tage to Rumanian Forces in First Clash With TeutOnS.
Associated Press Summary


 :. Prince Leo&,2 of Bavaria IS mak- ing the most of the disaffection that under Extremist influence developed in the Russian army in northern Ga licia, and is pressing into the Russion line along a 25-mile front, from Zlochoff to Tarnopol.
 :. The Russians were in retreat in this sector all day Friday, according to their own accounts, which lay the brunt of the blame upon the failure of certain commands to obey orders. The Russians burned villages and wrought havoc in the countryside as they fell back, the Berlin statement reports
 Apparently toward evening the Russian commander was able to rally his forces and check the retrograde movement, as Petrograd reports a Russian pause along definite line. Saturday evenings supplementary German statement, however, said the advance had reached the vicinity of Tarnopol
 The Russian front also failed to- hold firm against Teutonic assaults in other sectors, Berlin declares. It an nounces the recapture of positions north of Brzezeny, lost at the begin ming of the Russian offensive on July l, and the capture of the village of Babin, south of the river Dneister, and of heights near Novica, on the front of General Korniloff's advance on the Lomnicka.
 The Rumanian front now is wit messing active infantry operations, although as yet not on large scale. Austro-G German troops attacked the Rumanian line at one point, but found their temporary success in piercing the position aimed at nega- tived by Rumanian counter attack
 The situation on the FrancO-Bel- gian front presents much the same features as for some time past, with frequent German attacks on the French line, particularly along the Chemin des Danes, in the Aisne re- zion, and continuous play of the heavy artillery on the British front, notably in Belgium and the sectors to the south of the Franco-Belgian border Yesterdays official state ment recorded no changes of ground.
 The Russian internal situation seems to be resolving itself satisfac- torily to the forces of order. The chief powers of the government now are in the strong hands of Kerensky as premier and minister of war and marine, and the authorities appear to be grappling more boldly than previ- ously, and with entire success, with the Exeremist forces which caused the recent turmoil.

Results of U.Boats.

Washington. July 21.-Figures in the possession of the government make it appear that since the begin ming of the German ruthless subma- rine warfare the destruction of mer- chantmen hitherto available for en- tente commerce has been at least four times the amount of tonnage built.
 The figures show the losses to be averaging about one million tons "dead weight" monthly, this including the weight of cargo, whereas the weekly statements from London arc based on registered tonnage.

FOOD BILL PASSES.
Measure Now Goes to Conference, for
 Final Revision.

Final Revision.
 Washington, July 21.-The adminis- tration's food control bill, virtually rewritten after five weeks bitter con- test, was passed today by the senate, 81 to 6.
 Conferees from house and senate will begin work early next week and leaders are hopeful the measure may be in the presidents hands in ten days.
 As revamped, the bill gives the president broad authority over food, feed and fuel, the latter including kerosene and gasoline: provides for administration by food board of three members, instead of by an tncW vidual; authorizes federal fixing of coal prices, requisitioning and opera tion of mines; and authorizes min imum guaranteed price of not less than $2 per bushel for wheat at pri- mary markets.
 The senate prohibition section. pro- hibiting manufacture of distilled bev- erages during the war and directing the president to buy all distilled spir- it's in bond, was substituted for the house "bone dry" provision. and will be one subject of difficulty to the conferees.
 Senators voting against the bill were France, of Maryland, Hardwick, of Georgia, Penrose, of Pennsylvania. Reed, of Missouri. sherman. of Illi- nois, and Sutherland of West Vir- ginia.
 Scores of amendments were dis posed of today, but the principal features were the incorporation of the amendment authorizing the mn- imum wheat price, and another, by Senator Pomerene, greatly broaden ing government powers to handle the coal situation. The government guar antee for wheat would be payable at all principal interior primary markets until July 1, 919.

Taking Middle Course.

Berlin, July 20, via London-Yes- terday's speech by Dr. Michaelis, the imperial chancellor, before the reich stag, is interpreted as an indication that he is for the present steering a middle of the road course.
 The speech may be said hardly to have aroused pronounced enthusiasm. The new chancellor upon the tribune does not present the heroic figure that Dr. Bethmann-Hollweg did. Furthermore, he did not reveal him. self as an equally impressive speaker, in this speech at least.

Kerensky Is Critical

Petrograd, July 21.-The cabinet meeting at the announced resignation of Premier Loff sat until dawn yes terday and was somewhat stormy. Minister of War Kerensky criticised the ministers and military authorities for not rising to recent events and for not using their powers to suppress mutiny.
 M. Kerensky was particularly se- were toward General Potovtzeff, gov ernor of the Petrograd military dis trict, wohm he had proposed to re- move from the Petrograd command but reconsidered the decision after the ministers had assumed responsi- bility of changing the original orders of General Potovtzeff, which they considered were fraught with danger. It was made clear that General Potovtzeff's hands were tied.
