Negro Exodus Cause of
LOW Registration Here

RICHMOND, Va, June 7.-Wholesale
exodus of negroes from the south dur
ing the past three years, may result in
an apparent low registration throughout
the southern states.
As back country returns logged in
early today with paradoxical reports of
intense enthusiasm but low" registra-
ton, It became more and more evident
war department pre-registration esti-
mates had been excessive.
Based on 1910 census figures with
"proportionte" additions, these esti-
mates, it was pointed out here, fail to
account for the recent excessive deple-
ton of negro population in the south
estimated at half a million during the
past year alone.
Moreover, it is said, white youths in
unusual numbers, have migrated north
under the urge of war wages since 1914.
In probably no other section of the
country at this time, is the ratio of men.
both white and colored, of eligible age,
so low as throughout the south.
Public men here refuse to believe the
south was derelict in Offering It's men
for fighting. The universal enthusiasm
attending registration day in every sec
ton, they say, and widespread co-opera-
south did her utmost" to fill the ma
TONS need. Failure of country sections
to back city registration, it Is pointed
out, substantiates the excessive esti-
mates claim, as it is from the country
districts that the negroes have been
drawn in preponderant numbers.

.GEORG|A REGISTERS S0.4
PER CENT OF HER QUOTA
Returns in From All Except
TattnaII, Which Can Raise
1t to 81

Registration reports have been re-
ceived from every county in the state
except Tatnall
The total registration for the state,
exclusive of Tatnall county, from which
the government expected 1873 men, is
23O.637.
The total expectation from the state
based on census bureau estimates fur
nished to the war department, was 1884,
97S
This means that Georgia registered
90.4 per cent of the number of men
which the government expected her to
register
If Tattnall county, which was esti-
mated to furnish registration Of
1878 men, comes up with a total of
1900, the states percentage will be
raised to 81 and a fraction.
The figures in the table below are
taken principally from the official re-
ports to Adjutants General j. Van Holt
Nash. Where county had not reported
20 him, The Journal used the figures
sent by its correspondent in that county.
The figures sent by Journal correspond
ents were very close to the official fig
ures reported to General Nash. Hence
the table below can be relied upon.

GIGANTIC ABDUCTION PLOT
SUSPECTED BY THE POLICE
Kidnapping of Keet Baby in
Springfield, No. Believed
First Crime Planned

SPRINGFIELD, Mo, June 6.-Wlth
six arrests already made and more eX-
pected by night, police announced today
their belief that a gigantic abduction
conspiracy of which the kidnapping of
little fourteen months-old Lloyd Keet
was only the first crime planned, had
been uncovered.
Those arrested were Taylor Ames
and his wife, Allie; their two sons,
Claytus, twenty. and Make, eighteen,
and G. J. PierSol and Sam McGinniS.
The police assert two of the seXtet con-
fessed part of the kidnapping plot, but
their connection with the Keet abduc-
ton has not yet been established.
Piersol told the police, it was report
ed, that the band schemed to abduct a
st. Louis munitions manufacturer and
c. A. Clement, a jeweler, for ransom.
He mentioned an old house, just out
side Springfield, as the place where 1t
was planned to hold Clement. Police
hurriedly rushed there and found a
baby crib which showed signs of recent
occupancy-possibly by the Keet baby
but no one was found there. The au-
thorities, however, were convinced this
afternoon that the arrests and infor-
nation which they now have makes the
child's recovery certain at an early
date.
IaylOr ADAMS was drIeSlou dl Ae1li
sas City Monday. One of his sons Is
said to have been employed at down
town store in Springfield, from the top
of which mysterious lights were flashed
several days ago. These flashes were
then believed to be signals to the alb
ductors of the Keet baby.
All six suspects insisted today they
had made no confession. j. Holland
Keet, wealthy banker and father of the
abducted child. still refused all COM
ment on the case today.

SOCIALISTS AND LABORERs
STAGE RIOT IN STOCKHOLM
Several Persons Are Wounded
in Clash With Police and
Soldiers

STOCKHOLM, June 6.-Ten thousand
socialists and laborers rioted in the
Royal square here Tuesday afternoon
when the premier of the Iower house of
parliament refused the election of the
socialist leader Branting to the upper
house.
A number were wounded by sabres
welded by police and soldiers.
A big force of guards was hastily
summoned to the palace and parliament
when the mob began giving indications
of violence. The parade had started as
a peaceable demonstration but when the
crowd found its progress barred to APP
proaches to the palace and parliament
buildings their temper changed. Stones
were thrown at the police and soldiers
and there were several spirited clashes.
The guards, however, were strong
enough to repel all attempts of the mob
to rush the parliament building.

GREAT OFFENSIVE BY
ENGLISH IS FORECAST
BY GUNS IN BELGIUM
New Attack Near YpreS Is In
Dictated by the Familiar Pre-
IiminarieS of Artillery Fire
and Trench RaidingS

LONDON. June 5.-Of1cial announce.
ment is made that an aeroplane raid is
now i'm progress over the Thames
estuary.
NEW YORK. June 5.-(By Foreign
Cables from European Capitalist All
the familiar signs which herald a great
offensive are reported from the British
front in France The thunder of the
British guns increases day by day in
volume while trench raids. and other
Jennings for positions multiply in
Eumber.
The most interesting feature in the
meager official reports is the repeated
announcement of a tremendous artillery
duel in progress around the little Bel
sian village of Wytschaete,. about five
miles south of Ypres. From this point
as far south as Vimy ridge, thirty miles
away. the guns are roaring day and
night, apparently indicating that Gen
eral Hais has chosen this wide sector
for his next big blow. General Maui
rice, director general of military opera
tions. predicted some weeks ago that
the next British offensive would be on
a vaster scale than any which preceded
il.
Wytschaete marks the head of a
sharp salient held by the Germans
south of Ypres. This salient is rough
ly three miles deep and averages about
the same extent in width. Its great
Importance lies in the fact that ii is
the only high land between the British
and Lille Once in the possession of the
British their guns would command the
broad plain between the plateau and
Lille, a distance of about ten miles
In the field of politics where events
are moving rapidly, the opening of the
Austrian parliament has caused some
thing akin to CONSERVATION in the Ger
man press and the pan-German organs
especially are filled with gloomy predic-
tions based on the fact that the Ger
man party is in a very marked minority
i'm the Austrian chamber of deputies,
while the fall of Count Tisza in Hun
gary has given renewed confidence to
the Czech and other anti-German ele-
ments.
In Russia the situation remains con-
fused by conflicting and sensational re-
ports. Two events, however, have given
fresh heart to well-wishers of the In
FAINT republic. The first is the nearing
arrival in Petrograd of the American
commission. and second is the appoint
ment of General Brussiloff as COM
mander-in-chief of Russias army. Cen
eral Brussiloff enjoys the reputation of
being not only a brilliant field COM
mander but a strong and self-reliant
man.
The Prussian junkers are still putting
forward extravagant programs of an
nexations and indemnities. They have
apparently abandoned the idea of a sep
arate peace with Russia and are dis
GUESSING the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of that
country. Their boasts have been met
with the passage by the French cham
Der of deputies by an overwhelming ma
iority, of a resolution declaring that
peace can only be based on the return
of Alsace-Lorraine to France and the
evacuation and restoration of the re-
gions invaded by Germany.

Says Husband Kept
Lights Burning To
Prevent Her Sleeping

Complaining that her husband would
not let her go to sleep at night, and
that he would sometimes keep her up
all night by refusing to turn off the
lights, and otherwise annoying her, Mrs.
Marie V. Merker Tuesday filed suit for
a divorce from Henry r. Merker in the
superior court.
William V. Watts, in filing suit for
divorce from Mona L. Watts, said his
wife refused to cook his meals, and that
on one specific occasion he could not
find her anywhere, but that when he
went to go to bed she was discovered
beneath the bed with a long stick and a
pair of heavy shears.
Watts said when he asked her what
she was doing under the bed with the
stick and shears that she said she was
going to kill him when he went to
sleep.
Both asked for total divorce.

REVOLT MOVE IN CHINA
TENDS TOWARD MONARCHY
enforcement of Old Chang
Dynasty Seems Imminent,
According to Toxic

TOXIC. June 5.-The Chinese revo-
lutIonary movement today is tending
toward restoration of a monarchy and
the enthronement OF the old Chang
dynasty.
Latest reports received here from Pc
king deny that President Ii Yuan Hung
has resigned under pressure of the mill
larists. who have established a provi-
siOnal government at Tien Sin. Hsu-
Shi-Chang. head of the revolutionists'
provisional government. is known TO
have monarchistic leanings.
Hsu-Shi-Chang has assumed his du-
tic preparing to demand the resigna-
ton of President Ii Yuan Hung.
The disruption of parliament today
threatened to block the plan of Presi-
dent Lii to rush through an immediate
declaration of war against Germany.
Eighty members of parliament have
resigned and several members of Ii
Yuan lungs administration have fled
from Picking. according to cablegrams
received here. This leaves President
Lis government practically paralyzed.
The movement toward a monarchy is
emphasized by the fact that General
Chang Hsun, military governor of the
province of Anhwei. favors reviving the
old Chang dynasty. 1t was General
Chang who placed Hsu-Shi-Chang at
the head of the provisional government
in Tsien Sin. Two rebel troops from
province of Anhwei belonging to the
command of General Ni-Shi-Chun have
arrived near Tient Sin on a special
train. Two thousand more are report
ed to be en- route to Tient Sin from an
other province. No other movement of
troops is reported. The belief in Toxic
is that China will be plunged into an
archy.
