CONSOLIDATION OF
DRAFT BOARDS PROPOSED

Consolidation of the Boise and
Ada county draft boards, bringing
the work of both under the county
board which supervised the first
draft has been proposed to the pro-
vost marshal general, but as yet no
definite action has been taken, says
the Capital News, Adjutant General
G. s. Moody said that under such a
plan it would be necessary to call
Ada county and Boise men at the
same time, for they are registered
under two sets of numbers and there
are duplicates.
The drain on Boise city proper for
men in the second draft will not he
heavy. This statement is made on
the expectation that the basis of the
apportionment will be for 785,OO0
men, or the same number as called
under the first draft to form the mi
tial national army. Assuming that
number will be called, the quota
credited to Boise would be 141 men.
That was the number this city would
have had TO furnish under the first
draft, had it not a credit of 1919 men
in the national guard and regular
army. BY subtracting this first quota
of l41 men from the credits a credit
of SO men is still left.

BUTTE, Montana, August 1.-Citi-
zens here spent a restless night last
night, the result of threats of whole

rades of Frank Little, the Industrial
Workers of the World leader, who was
summarily executed by citizens here
yesterday before day. No disorder, oc-
Cured, however, the city being juliet
this afternoon with no evidence of an
outbreak pending.
The city authorities here have un-
dertaken the task of running the
lynchers to earth, and in their en-
deavor have the support of the best
element of Butte residents. The city
council, being called in extra session
to consider the matter, today offered a
reward of a thousand dollars for the
arrest with evidence to convict any
member of the band of seven which
lyrched Little.

War ON WEST FRONT.
TRY To ARRANGE
WADE CASE TRIAL

An effort will be made to hold the
third trial of the Walter Wade mur-
der case some time turing September,
according to the latest information
available.
Frank Hooper, of Atlanta, associated
with the counsel for the defense, is
in Americus today to confer with Hol-
lis Fort, w P. Wallis, l.. !. Blalock
and j. E. Sheppard, the other attor-
neys for the defense, relative to the
qeustion of arranging a GATE for the
opening of the third trial.
Judge z. A. Littlejohn, who starts
ON his circuit early in October is
anxious to finish the Wade trial be-
fore that time, so that the case will
not come up at the regular November
term of Sumter Superior court. He
has informed counsel for the defenes
o. his desire in the matter, and it is
expected that some definite date can
be fixed.
Since abandonment Of the plan to try
Dr.. Charles K. Chapman at a special
term of the Superior court on July
End, there have been no developments
in the case until today. The special
term had been called for that date and
the jurors summoned, when on June
29th it became apparent that the de-
fense would be unable to secure sew
eral important witnesses on account OF
their employment by the Central OF
Georgia railway, which was struggling
with heavy traffic and utilizing every
train crew available. Judge Little
john, upon receiving these representa-
tions from the defense, called off the
special term.
DR.. Chapman and W. l. Johnson are
still confined in the Sumter county
iail. while Walter Johnson, Charles
Chapman, Jr., John Etheridge and H.
A Harp are out on bond.

INCREASE PENSION
MEASURE PASSEO D

ATLANTA, Ga, August 1.-The
house yesterday passed the bill by Mr.
Mccall, of Brooks, to make vastly
more elastic the state pension provis-
ion, provided the people in the next
general election ratify the proposed
amendment to the constitution which
it makes necessary. There were written
into the bill, however, certain re-
strictions which the original bill real
~ sought to eliminate. Mr.. McCalIs
bill would have made it obligatory on
the part of he state to pay pension
to the widow Of a Confederate veteran,
nc matter when the woman married
the veteran That provision was
amended and limited to marriage prior
to 1881; the present limitation being
1879.
The original Mccall bill would
further have removed all property
ownership limitation on veteran or
his widow and made it obligatory that
the state pay a pension, no matter how
much such a veteran or widow might
be worth. That was amended fixing a
limit at $4,000 worth OF property, in
stead Of the present limit of $1,000.
The fact was hrou hit out in the
arguments on the 1oor of the house
that the enactment Of the bill will
mean an enormous increase in the
state zen ion fund The Dart bill,
which reduced the former limitations
and provided for an increase in pen
sions at the rate of $40 a year each
year until the original amount Of $50
is raised to 500 for each pensioner,
brought an increase in the then pen
sional $1,000, and there were yet Il
large number of new applications not
added to the list.
1t is estimated in some of the argu-
ments that this bill, even as amended,
will add to the amount the state will
be forced to appropriate for pensions
somewhere in the neighborhood Of
100000 a year in the next couple of
years.

OFFICERS WILL Be
NAMED THIS WEEK

WASHINGTON, D. c., August g.
Appointment of general officers to com
mand the sixteen national guard train
ing camps is the only step remaining
to be taken to get more than 100000
men of this force in training for duty
in France. 1t is indicated that the ap-
pointments will be made during the
week, as those of all other general off
GERS for the guard. The nominations
must be sent to the senate.
The war department has made public
a detailed statement of progress being
made with the preparation of the six
teen camps. The camps at Augusta,
Ga; Deming, N. M; Montgomery, Ala. ];
Spartanburg, S. c., and Waco, Texas,
were to have been ready today, but it
will take another two weeks to pre-
pare them. Troops assigned to these
camps will not be sent forward until
quarters are ready. Camps for the
second guard group called out July %,
will be ready on August Is, and the
quarters for the third or western group
will be ready September L.
The department is preparing recon-
mendations for the president as to Of
ficers to command the sixteen divis-
ional cantonments of the national ar
my, as we'll as those to command the
guard camps.
1t is regarded as vitally necessary
that each new general officer of the
national army be able to go to his can
tonment site at least three weeks be-
fore the selected men begin to arrive
and that he be accompanied by the five
members of his staff
Presumably the list of general Off
GERS both for the national guard and
the national army, will contain the
names Of the great majority if not all,
OF the present general officers of the
guard. The vacancies in that rank in
the guard, however, as well as the full
list of general officers for the national
army, probably will be filled from the
regular service, supplemented possibly
at some points by them at present in
civil life, but who have had wide mill
tary experience.

Teutons In Desperation De
Tending Line Protecting
Submarine Bases
BAD WEATHER HAMPERS
MOVEMENTS OF ALLIES
Important Operations Indicat-
ed on North Russian Front
Near Riga

NEW YORK, August 1.-(Compileo
by the Associated Press from European
cables during the day.)-The Germans
are battling with desperation un-
paralleled in the present war to hold
their Flanders line against the COM
bined British and French attacks. Des-
pite prevailing bad weather and this
desperate resistance the British report
having made good most important
gains, and apparently are only waiting
for better weather to blast their way
farther in.
Berlin's boast that the Entente
thrust failed, apparently, is based up
or an unwarranted assumption that an
effort was made to break through, and
upon the further fact that at one or two
points the Germans regained their ad-
vanced positions on the Aisne front.
1.-The British, however, regained one OF
@these positions this morning.
Despite the hard fighting in progress
on the Flanders sector, the Germans
continue their pronounced activity on
the French front. Paris reports two
attacks east and southeast of Rheims
last night and assaults on the Avo-
court wood sector, as well as south OF
st. Mihel All of these, the French
war office says, were repulsed.
Apparently, some important move
ment has been started by the Teutons
on the northern Russian front The
Russian line there has been holding
steadily throughout the Generalization
in Galicia, but today's reports tell OF
a retreat about the bridgehead near
Riga.
