THE BLACKS
ARE FLEEING
EXODUS FROM EAST ST. LOUIS
BEGINS FOLLOWING RIOTS
DURING LAST NIGHT.
.sWARM|NC ACROSS RIVER
Scores of the Negroes Are Crossing
the River into st. Louis-Many
Injured In Last Nights
Rioting.

EAST ST. LOUIS, ILL.,, May 20
Hundreds OF negroes are fleeing East
st. Louis fearful OF repetition OF
riots last night which resulted In
the injury OF at least score OF
blacks A mob estimated at several
thousand swept through the down
town section wrecking saloons, pawn
shops, restaurants and other places
where blacks were known to con-
gregate and beat every negro In the
path OF the throng. Street cars were
stopped and negroes dragged off
and slugged. Five were SO severely
beaten, cut and shot that they will
probably die.
The rioting started Immediately
following a meeting at the city hall
protesting the importation OF blacks
from the South to work In the pack
ing houses and munitions factories
here. A report was received that
two white men had been held up and
that a white woman had been insult
ed by a negro. The meeting was ad-
journed Immediately by Mayor Moll-
man.
Some one shouted. 'get the
skunks," and the crowd was on its
way to reinforce mob that was pa
rading the downtown streets In
search of negroes. The riot ended
after midnight when six negroes
who tried to cross the Eads bridge
| into st. Louis were dragged into an
empty house and kicked into uncon-
sciousness.
! The crowd then started for anoth-
er negro settlement. but a police ser
geant said he knew the name OF
every white man in the throng and
would cause their arrest unless they
dispersed. The leaders called OF
the men and went to their homes.
When Mayor Mollman's appeal tC
the mob was answered with cat call:
he ordered all saloons and othel
places used by negroes as meetins
houses closed. Scores OF blacks wer'
held by the police for safe-keeping
Mollman telephoned Governo
Iowden and General Dickinson a
Springfield asking for troops. bu
was told they could not be presses
into service. An appeal to the com
: mander OF the companies of the I'LL
: nois National Guard stationed her
met with the same result,
Blacks are swarming across tn
bridges leading into st. Louis an
scores departed earlier on freigf
and passenger trains for othe
points.

AUSTRIAN LINE
BEING TURNED
HEAVY ITALIAN PRESSURE BE
ING EXERTED AGAINST THE
SOUTHERN WING.
BATTLE TOWARD TRIESTE
The Italians Attempting to Open a
Way Along the Coast to Import
ant Austrian City-Wili BE
Aided BY British.

ROME, May 29.--The southern
wing of the Austrian line is being
slowly turned today under the tre-
mendous leverage of General Cador-
mas full force OF arms, exerted west
ward on the Hermada plateau, north
of Duino.
Dunno itself IS bounded on one
side by the gulf OF Trieste and is
now surrounded on two other sides
nv Italian troops. The Italian fight
ing line Is In sight Of the towns
ruins.
The capture OF Duino is momen-
.tarilv expected. With this point in
the Italians possession the way Will
be along the coast itself for an ad-
vance on Trieste, a way which Is
comparatively flat as opposed to the
towering craigs and rocky Businesses
tn the north. In that advance guns
from the British monitors In the gull
will be OF great help.
The Italian advance was concen-
trated on this salient and the fight
ing Is continuing with great violence
nm the remainder OF the front the
hattie is mostly OF Austrian counter
attacks.
Tho enemy is striving to relieve
tho pressure on the south by men
oce against the Italians hold else
where on the line.

APPLICATION MADE FOR INJUNC-
TION AGAINST ENFORCEMENT
OF THE LAW.
IS BACKED BY PAC|F|sTs
Application Made BY Attorney For
So-CaIled Federation for Demo-
cratic Control-Eariy Dccis-
ion Expected.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May pa
request for an injunction to prevent
the state. county and city authorities
from enforcing the draft bill registra-
ton June 5, was filed today with the
circuit court by Judge ]. B. Shewal-
ter. attorney for the so-called fed
Grafton for democratic control, a
racifist organization.
The petitioners for the injunction
are Thomas r. Sullivan and Raymond
I. Moore. Moore is the husband OF
the late Miss Lenora Warneson, the
school teacher whose pacifist aetivi-
ties among her students brought her
considerable publicity last fall.
The men have been counselled by
the United States attorney against
following the advice of irresponsi-
bles in regard to the operation OF
the draft bill.
1T is claimed by federal authori-
ties that Judge Shewalter in bring
ing this action is merely courting
rotoriety. "Of course there is moth
ing to prevent any one from filing a
legal action against the enforcement
of the new law, but 1t is one thing to
file an action and another to win it,
said District Attorney Wilson. He
expressed doubt that the injunction
would ever get out of the lower
courts. Unconstitutionality is the
chief grounds named by Shewaltei
for restraining the registration

COTTON GROWING PROFITS

The Pima variety of Egyptian cot ton is the most profitable crop ever grown in this region. It is acknow- ledged Co be the finest cotton pro- duccd, and destined to make this region famous the world over, and will bring high prices for many years to come. The labor shortage due to the working of the Draft Law, makes it imperative that em- ployers of farm help get the max mum returns from their employees. In growing cotton, this means the pest labor saving tools and equip ment. Nearly the entire output of steel is being taken by the govern ment leaving a big shortage to sup ply the domestic use of this country and the foreign demand. All au- thorlties agree that next year will see a big shortage. If you intend to grow cotton. it is important that you buy your machinery and equip ment now. We can supply you with the goods on orders placed now but do not know what we can do in six months.

SATAN WRITES
 ID KAISER BILL

A letter, clipped from the Doug las Island News, was handed to the Daily Alaskan recently by one oe our well known and respected citizens, only part of which we print. The epistle is supposed to be written from Hell by Luciter H. Sa- tau and addressed to Kaiser Bill. My Dear Wilhelm:
 "I can call you by that tamiliaT name, for l have always been very close to you, much closer than you could ever know.
 "IR the days of Rome I created roughneck known in history as Nero: he Yas 8 vulgar character and suited my purposes at that particular time. In these modern dayA a classic demon and efficient super criminal was needed; and as l know the HohenzOllern blood, l picked you as my special instru- meat to place on earth an annex of he'll
 "I sowed the seed in your heart that blossomed into the assination of the Duke and his wife, and all hell smiled when it saw how clever ly you saddled the crime onto Ser bia. .,
 Bells of Hell Are Ringing
 "Ycur opportunity was at hand; you set the world on fire and the bells Of hell were ringing; your rapa on Belgium has caused much joy; you made war on friends and foes alike, and the murder of civil iaos showed my teachings had borne fruit. Your underses warfare is master stroke; as 8 war Lord you stand supreme, for you have no consideration for the baby clinging to it's mothers breast as they both go down into the deep together, only to be torn apart and be leisurely deYoured by sharks down among the rorals.
 You are liar, hypocrite and a nluffer of the highest magnitude You are partner of mine, and yet you pose as a personal friend oi God. An, Wilhelm, you are a wonder.
 "When g Prussian officer can witness a nude women being dis embowled by g Swarthy Turk, committing 8 double murder with one cut of his saber, and calmly stand by and see 8 houseful of in nocent Armenians locked up. the house saturated with oil and fired, confess my satanic soul grew sick and there and then knew the pupil had become the mas'er, and l am a back number, and My Dear Wilhelm, ! aodicate in your favor. l am satisfied with what l have done; that my abdica- tiou in your favor is for the very best interests of hell-in the flu ture am at your majesty's service "Affectionately and sincerely Iyours,
 "LUCIFER H. SATAN '
