There was little opposition to the senate's two dollar wheat guaranty am- endment, but it was changed so as to make it apply to next years crop in- stead of. this years. The section auth prizes the president. when he finds that an emergency exists. requiring stimu- lation of wheat production and that it is essential for wheat producers to have the benefits of a guaranty, to re- quire the food administration to deter mine and fix a reasonable guaranteed pirce to assure the producers a req sonable profit, not less than S2 per bushel at the principal interior prim- ary markets. It also provides for ad- ditional customs duties on wheat. when necessary. to bring the price of the imported articles to guaranty. The s10.O0O.O00 appropriation for nitrate stocks in a senate amendment. as agreed to. authorizes the president to procure stocks of nitrate of soda for increasing agricultural products in 1918 and to dispose of them at cost.
 The conference had already agreed to senate amendments to authorize the president. if it should become nee essary for the national defense, to fix coal and coke prices.

 WASHINGTON. July 2S.-America will win the war, Herbert Hoover de clared in a statement tonight, because of it's superior resources and through the ability of the American people to organize. The success already evil dent, of the nations voluntary food conservation effort. MT. Hoover said, points to a final victory.
 Germany accomplished less in this direction in. twelve months." said MT Hoover. than our people have in four. The only need of legislation and au' thority is to curb those who would profit by this voluntary movement" More than two million women, Mr. Hoover announced, have enrolled as members of the food administration, pledging themselves to saving food within the house hold. Within sixty days. be said, many more millions will have become members.
 No one can rightly be gloomy over the outcome of the American people in this war;" said Mir. Hoover "Suc- cess in. this war is a question of ie- sources and the ability of the peo- pie to organize themselves to use them rightly and endure. Many thinking Americans and the whole world have been watching anxiously the last four months to see if democratic America could not organize to meet democratic emergency. Germany was confident it could not be done. .-,
 Contrary proof is immediately at our door and our people have already demonstrated thei rability to mobilize. organize, endure and prepare volun- tarily and efficiently in many direc- tions and upon a mere word of inspi- ration. aside from the remarkable as- cemblage of our army and finances.
 Our present prospects indicate an increase of production of cereals by $50 ,000. 900 bushels. We have the larg. est supply of vegetables ever in our his- tory.
 "The wolf is at the door of Europe anu "Ati aAi tACoC pluSStSs OuE stock of foodstufis would still have been too little for the demand upon us during the coming year if our people had not responded to the call for elim- inatio of waste. America will this year produce about 1.700. .o0o. 900 cans of fruit and vegetables. Our govern ment and the allies will require about 2O0,000,0O0 of these cans The returns we have from various state organiza- tions indicate. from the results ob- tained for the first half of the season, that the American women will pre- serve 200.O0O,OO0 jars and cans this year of fruit and vegetables. and will thus supply any dehneiensy call. ed for by the armies.
 '"The elimination of waste in the country has been more gratifying. The best index of this saving is in garbage returns from our large cities."

CTS on rules which in effect amounted to the establishment of a closed shop against switchmen not members of ihe Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen.
 The situation was further compii- cated by the Switchmen's Union of America, also largely employed by the 19 roads in the Chicago switching dis trict. The members of this union, af- filiated with the American Federation of Labor and not with the B. R. T., remained at work with few exceptions.
 Railroad officials declared late today that their switch yards were working with half of the normal force and as- serted that such a record for the first day of the strike demonstrated tnas the roads could resume normal con ditions in few days.
 Federal officials were advised of the strike and the district attorney said if conditions warranted action would be taken. Railroad officials said that government supplies and mail had not been delayed.

 the bend in the line near Fokshani in Rumania, presents the curious spectacle o fthe Rus sians still in retreat on a wide front in eastern Galicia and of Russian and Roumahian forces victorously advancing in an i'm portant secto ralong the western Moldavian frotier.
 Petrograd has little to say of the situatio min eastern Galicia, but indicates a considerable resistance by the Russian forces in the Car pathians, notwithstanding that several Russian regiments gave way.

 Artillery Battle.
 The British front in Flanders is again trembling with the shock of a great artillery battle Drum fire of the most intense character was opened this morning, Berlin reports. Several times of late there have been indications that an attack was about to be opened. apparently on the part of the Brit ish, but none of moment has yet developed. Recently the reports have indicated the German artil- lery also was very active Oh this front, possibly in an attempt to check by counter-fire any move ment the British might be at tempting.
 After an interval of more than a year and half the Germans have mane an air raid on Paris. Accounts from the French capi- tai do not indicate that the raid, which was carried out on Friday night, was one in force or that it had serious results. The Berlin announcements states that bombs were dropped on railway stations and military establishments.

College oys Active

AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP IN FRANCE, July 2S.-Two American base hospital units, organized under the direction of the Red Cross. but talk en over by the United tSates army. have just arrived in the American army zone in France and are estab- lished some 20 miles apart. Both units have taken over French hospitals. where, however, there are very few patients. The work soon will be or ganized of caring for the American sick and wounded sent back from the advanced field hospitals and the cas- ualty clearing stations.
 The first of the units to reach France was Base Hospital No. IS, organized at Johns Hopkins university, Balti- more. This was quickly followed by Base Hospital No. Is, from Roosevelt hospital, New York. the latter being organized and equipped largely through the interest of Clarence Mackay.
 Units in New Quarters
 Each of these organizations is cap able of caring for 1000 to 1500 patients. They have brought over large sup plies, but one of the great problems they will have to meet is that of keep ing warm this winter, for a serious coal shortage is threatened.
 The Roosevelt hospital unit is now established in a summer hotel, which is not provided with heating facilities for winter, but plans are already un- der way to install stoves or, if pos sible, set up a steam heating apparat- us. The Johns Hopkins unit is tenn porarily housed in a French base hos pital, but may later take up its quar- ters in barracks. which is really cas-

Adjutant General Harris, Of Arizona Guard, Is Asked by
 GoUernOr Campbell to Quit

after August 6, when the entire national guard will be in the fec eral service, there will be no duty for the adjutant general to per form. If later Arizona should be called upon to raise another res. ment of state troops I shall want another adjutant general"
 Result of Strike Talk
 The action of the governor is said to have been precipitated by certain reports which the adjutant general has made regarding the strike situation and which have been characterized by the gover- nor as ''seditious."
 Colonel Harris has been at ;.e head of the national guard of Arizona since admission to state hood. The last session of the leg islature adopted an amendment to the military code of the stase, said to have been prepared by Col onel Harris, prescribing the quail fications of the adjutant general, one of which is that he should nave had a continuous service of five years in the national guard of the state. He alone possessed that qualification. 1t is on that amendment, it is said, that Col onel Harris will resist the at tempt to remove him. It is said by friends of the governor that the amendment cannot interfere with the power of the executive to remove any appointive officer, though in this case ne may not have power to fill the vacancy.

an Australian, living in London, will

rison duty abroad, despite his consci-
entious scruples against killing Ger
mans.
AS manager of metal company
Thomas sold tons of material for the

didn't bother him.
Il admit taking a profit from NUM-
tons which are intended to kill peo-
ple," he said, but l entered the bust
ness as boy when there was no war,
That ruined his chances before the
military tribunal.
Conscientious DIRECTORS whose scru-
pies against killing are recognized by
the military authorities are no longer
compelled to work as direct war aux
illiaries. But if they are called up
they must participate In some work OF

lieved himself to be the legitimate re-
cipient of the honor
Campbell was feted by the town Of
Wareham and presented with an ad-

culated casting doubt on his right to
the honor. In surrendering the ribbon
he said he suspected his enemies in
the corps of playing trick on him.
