encouraging returns. Several persons
have written requesting supplies of

volunteers at one booth yesterday aft

entirely sold out Fresh supplies were
rushed to them to meet the demand.
The Washington Electric Railway

BRITISH CASUALTIES IN MAY,
flsures for Last Month Show Heavy
Toll in Arras Battle.

London, June 1.-British casual
ties as published in May show total
of 5,9O2 officers and 06,3Sl men. i
The British offensive on the Arras
front, involving some OF the severest
lighting Of the war, naturally has
resulted IN large increase in casu-
aities over the inactive winter sea-
son. Casualties for the last few
months have not been received, but
IN FEBRUARY the total reported was
only l,243 officers and 1916 men.
The assertion Of the British that
thelr losses are SO per cent smaller
than in the battle of the Somme. not-
"ithstanding the fact that larger
forces are engaged, is not borne ont
by the May figures, although in the
absence Of the casualty report for

REV. W. II. BELVIN ARRESTED,
Charged With Dis0rticrly Conduct
Dispute Over Young Child.
tSumter Item, May 30.)

Rev. W. +. Bclvin, OF Walhalla, Il
member OF the Upper South Carolina
Conference, Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, was arrested by the
city police at the Atlantic Coast Line
station at II o'clock this morning,
the charge against him being disor-
derly conduct (cngaging in fight
with his wiie) and carrying conceal
ed weapons, to wit, pistol OF un-
lawful size. He was taken to the
police station, his gun confiscated.
and he was placed under bond for
appearance for trial on June 7.
But this is not all Of the story, nor
the beginning Of the row that culmi-
mated in free fight at the station
for.the possession of their two-year-
old child, during which Mrs Belvin
was knocked down and rendered un-
conscious for several minutes. While
the fight was in progress the station
agent telephoned for the police, but
before they arrived the fight was
ended by Mrs. Belvin being Knocked
down, and Mr.. Belvin started to
board the train for Columbia that
came into the station just then. In
the excitement occasioned by the un-
usual spectacle Of a man and a wO-
man fighting a crowd gathered, and
as some Of them seemed to block the
way to the train, Rev. Belvin drew
from his pocket pistol OF large
size and busincss-lle appearance
and ordered the crowd to clear the
road--and the road was promptly
cleared. But the police arrived ON
the scene Just then and Rev. Bclvin
WAS taken into custody.
But this is not all Of the story. 1t
seems that Rev. and Mrs. Belvin
have had some differences and could
not live together in peace and amity,
so Mrs. Bclvin, taking their two
year-old child, left her husbands
home at Walhalla and came to stay
with her sister, who lives in the coun-
try near this city. This morning Rev.
'>,''' '''i'SN "l lllc uOlHc OI HIS
wifc's sister. EIe walked in and
took the child in his arms, got into
the automobile and came to this city.
His wife followed quickly, and as
soon as she reached town applied to
Magistrate Moore for warrant for
Rev. Belvin's arrest for abduction of
the child and carrying concealed wea-
pons. The warrant was issued and
Rev. Belvin was arrested. He gave
bond and was released, Magistrate
Moore placing him also under bond
to keep the peace. He then proceed
ed to the depot. where he pl}~.sesed
a ticket for Columbia. Mrs. Belvin
followed, and, ascertaining from the
ticket, agent that her husband had
bought a ticket for Columbia, she
purchased one to the same point.
Immediately thereafter the struggle
for the possession Of the child took
place.

commission yesterday, after an ex-

The following trains will be dis

Trains Nos. 45 and 4G. between

The railway petitioned for permis-

chat the trains should be operated to
such points. The petition for discon-

in the judgment Of the war board
the inconvenience to the government
and to the public in curtailing Of pas

policy Of the war board concerning
the reductions In passenger service.
Excursion trains were recommended
to be abandoned, FOR instance. lie
said that petitions for tho discontin-

filled In other States in keeping with
the request of the war board.
Mr.. Jeffries called attention to
the reductions in service Of English
