NEGROES IN BRAWL
At THE Army CAMP
One Badly Cut In Fracas Last
Night
TWO OTHERS ARRESTED
William Cooper Taunted George Morris
While Latter Was Cutting
Bread for deal

There was furry OF trouble
among the negro laborers employed
at Camp Meade at Admiral. Anne
Arundel county last night as a result
of which two of the principals were
arrested and are now lodged in the
county Jail here. while third is un.
der treatment in hospital tent at
the camp

got into a quarrel at their mess shed.
and William Cooper-was badly cut
about the arm and in the left side of
the abdomen. His injuries are not re
garded as serious, however. George
Morris did the cutting. and George
Slaughter, who, it appears. also was
implicated in the trouble both are
confined in Jail The ARRAY il is
stated occurred about 10 O'Clock. Nor
ris was engaged in cutting braed al
the time, making ready to prepare
something to eat for the rest OF the
men although another version is that
the trouble was the result OF crap
game. Norris was cutting the bread
with knife of the barlow type He
asserts that Cooper taunted him, and
that he advised him to desist under
threat that he would cutu him, but
Cooper persisted. Slaughter's par
ticipation in the trouble il is said, was
due to his holding Cooper while Nor
ris did the cutting. Slaughter denies
this, stating that he attempted TO sep
arate the two men.
While the affair created more or
less excitement at the camp the sol
diers on duty there did not interfere,
although Lieutenant NJ. Il. Lilley.
commanding Company X of the Fifth
Maryland regiment, finally decided TO
communicate with the county police
officials here.
Deputy Sheriff William ID. X. Lee
hurried to the scene from Annapolis
and arrested Morris and Coooer and
secured good bit of evidence pertain
ing to the affair. Cooper, the injured
man, will be taken as soon as he re-
covers from his injuries.

to the doing of more work at Camp
Meade yesterday than on any other
day since the authorities began oper-

This combination consisted of fine
weather conditions the disappearance
of much of the dust that has made
life miserable for the men employed
there and the arrival of more than
100 railroad cars containing lumber
and other building materials. The
drop in temperature was welcomed,
but not more so than the disappear
ance of th1 dust.

German Guns Pouring
Shells on Coastal Lines

With the British Armies in France,
July 29.-Numerous raids, which TO-
days British official communication
mentions as having been conducted at
various points along the front by both
combatants, undoubtedly appear to
distant readers as inconsequential in
this greatest of world wars. But these
tiny reconnoitring thrusts, which daily
have been growing in number of late,
are in truth highly significant in them
selves, for they are a surface indica-
tion Of the great tension existing along
these nerve centres Of the Western
theatre. :,
The material damage which small
,aidine parties infict is OF little conse-
ouence, comparatively speaking, to
either side, but the information that
these intrepid adventurers into No
Mans Land may bring back is invalu-
able. The war along this front is far
from being at stalemate, but these are
not days for prophecy.
DESPITE the inactivity OF the infan-
try. destructive artillery duels OF great
violence continue and are ever increas-
ing in volume. Along the coast region
the guns have been pouring an unpre-
cedented stream of shells into Nieu-
port and neighboring places, and the
British have been no less vigorous in
reply.
Further south, Vimy and other points
overlooking Lens as well as Armen-
tiAres are the object of unrelenting
Teuton wrath, and the shelling from
the guns of both sides at times reached
the intensity of drumfre, which is
heard for miles back of the lines.
A concentrated attack was made Mt

Americans Lay
Rails Behind
Battle Front

Behind the British Lines in France,
July 81 correspondence Americans
and Canadians from the northwestern
part of the American continent-men
who have played an important part in
the railway building out around the
Rockies-are to be found among the
men in khaki, laying rails right up to
the fighting front along the British
lines in France. Here and there is a
man who has worked on the New Haven
or the Boston & Maine Railroad, but
the vast majority come from the great
western part Of the United States and
Canada.
There is one whole battalion from
the Canadian Pacific Railroad now at
work on the British front. II was or
canized by Lord Shaughnessy. In
charge of this and other battalions Is
a brigadier general, a widely known
contractor, from British Columbia,
whose motto is, "See everything, hear
everything, but keep your mouth shut"

light, narrow-gauge railroads are run
up close TO the battle front. But this

The engineers make their appearance
within n few hours of fresh British
advance. The men have to wear steel
helmets and keep their gas MASKS
handy, so close are they to danger
from bomhardment by the German
heavies or from bombs dropped oy a
stray German aeroplane. In fact, so
close TO the actual lighting front are
these lines that most OF the really
advanced work has to be done under
cover of darkness.
