Washington, July I4.-Sixteen suf
fragists OF the woman's party, at
tempting to stage a -picke1ingg denen
stration at the White House gates
today in celebration of the annver-
sary of the fall of the Bastle, were
promptly arrested and taken to Jail
Each of the women gave SIS bail
at the police station to appear Mon
day for trial on the charge OF imped-

There virtually was no disorder,
the crowd of about thousand peo-
pie gathered for the widely adver-
tised show contenting itself with
hooting and jeering as the police es-
corted the women away.
The women approached the White
House gates in three groups, one
heading for the east gate. another for
the west gate and the third arriving
too late at the east gate to replace
the members of the first section
when they were arrested. In each
instance the police endeavored to
persuade the marchers to move on"
before making arrests.

Eleven of our airplanes flew over

Missourians to Back Up Pershing.

The fact that the man chosen by
| President Wilson to lead the advance
guard of the Army of Liberty into
the fields of France, Gen. Pershing
is a Missourian, will lend additional
interest to all military matters as far
as Missourians are concerned. Gen.
Pershing and his men will be par
ticularly dear to the hearts of all
Missourians, and it is the purpose OF
Missouri and the state fair to do all
in their power to back up Gen.
Pershing and his men on the front.
Not only will this come \ about
through increased production at low
er cost of production, but through
the patriotic support that will be Civ
en- the soldiers at the front.
With view to increasing the mil
itary and naval interest that is being
shown in Missouri a big military
naval and Red Cross display will be
put on at the State Fair Sept. 22 to
20. Adjutant Gen. II. T. Mccain at
Washington, D. C., will detail the
articles and men that are to take part
in the military display and the navy
department those things that will go
to make up the navy display. The
Red Cross will maintain an ambulance
and hospital corps on the grounds
during fair week. The aviation and
motor branches of the military ser
vice, including a tank" will be shown
in all their terrible military effect
