Another white Girl Shot.
1t was discovered today that an
other white girl. Miss Ruth Daniel
was shot. She received a bullet in
the abdomen, but her condition Is not
serious.
Military men, after examining the
bodies OF the victims, said the band
OF negro troopers are. probably re-
enforced by negro citizens armed
with shotguns. Many buckshot
wounds were found, and the troopers
were armed only with Springfield
rifles.
Searching parties are still looking
for bodies, and 1t is believed the total
casualties of last nights race battle
will reach twenty.
All the dead are white civilians,
policemen, or national guardsmen.
Among them 10 Capt. ]. W. Mates, OF
Battery A. Second Illinois Field
Artillery, whose HutIlsted body was
found In an automobile. He was sit
ting upright in the car. When found
he had been scalped and bayonet
wounds were found IN his left shoul-
der. A bayonet had been thrust into
his right shoulder and q charge a.
bucksiot fred into his left leg pear
the thigh.
Captain Mates was savagely at
tackled by the negroes when he at
tempted to quelI the disturbance
while it was in Its incipiency.
RiOt In Wake Of Wonan LOIterer.
Investigation today disclosed that
the riot started when a policeman
attempted to arrest q colored woman
found lettering around Camp Logan,
which the negro soldiers were guard
ing. The black troopers objected to
the arrest OF the woman, and when
two of them tried to take her from
a policeman the latter brought his
club into play and feIled them.
-Four detectives were rushed to the
camp to assist the policeman. Their
appearance was the signal for the
bloody battle which was waged al
most all night. The negroes met the
detectives with a volley Of shots.
Two OF the detectives fell dead with
bullets in their hearts.
Citizens living near the camp armed
themselves and went to the rescue OF
the policemen in the early stages OF the
night The mob spirit spread TO Houston
and the crowd grew to thousands.
The white soldiers were hastily formed
into fighting line. the white force being
made up Of Illinois and Texas militia
men with some regular army men.
The negro troops were in possession
OF the camp arsenal, and the white
men had little ammunition.
Most Of the mutineers finally left
camp and marched through the city.
As they passed Washington avenue
and Sandman street they shot down
pretty Thelma Reiehert, the fifteen,
year-old daughter Of a small confoc-
toner. She fell with bullet through
her stomach
when an ambulance was summoned
to take away the wounded girl the
black troopers nred upon the vehicle.
Police reserves and Texas guardsmen
were rushed to the scene.
The guardsmen attempted to break
into a hardware store to obtain weap-
ons with which to attack the troopers
and other negroes who participated in
the rioting. The white soldiers, how
ever, were driven away. Guardsmen
attacked the negroes without weap-
ons, and a number OF them were
CLAIM by the armed negro troopers.

ercise the authority necessary to
manage a war, yet preserve the
Liberties of the people.
Some people have been afraid
that the enormous powers now
exercised by the President will
render Congress Of less import
ance. They recall instances
where the President has secured
legislation from a grudging or
contrary Congress. But does not
this very fact illustrate the
strength of democracy? In each
and every instance, and there
have been many, the President
has had his way only by appeal
ing to, the people. He has placed
his policies before them in pub
lie appeals, and the response Of
the people has Deen such that
congressman were obliged to
yield. But if he should attempt
TO force a law from Congress
that the people did not want,
congressman would be quick to
resist his demand. 1t is because
the members ksow the people are
behind the President that they
back his policies.

WHY WE MUST SEND MORE
WHEAT

England, France, Italy, and
Belgium, taken together, import
in peace time forty per cent Of
their breadstuffs. But now,
with their reduction in harvest,
they must import sixty per cent.
We must increase our normal
export surplus Of 100000
bushels to 22O,OOO,OO0 bushels.
1t can be done but in one way:
by economizing and substituting.
The people of the Allies can not
substitute corn alone for bread
as we can. They are usisg other
cereals added TO wheat flour to
make war bread, and can thus
use up to twenty-five per cent of
corn for wheat. We have plenty
Iof corn to send them but, except
in Italy, whose people normally
use it, our Allies have few corn
mills, and corn meal is not dur
able enough TO be shipped by us
in large quantities. Moreover,
the Allied peoples do not make
their bread at home; it is all
made in bakeries, and corn bread
can not be distributed from bak-
cries. There is but one way: we
must reduce our use of wheat
We use now an average of five
pounds of wheat flour per person
per week. The whole problem
can be met if we will substitute
one pound of corn or other cereal
flour for one pound of wheat flour
weekly per person; that is, if we
reduce our consumption of wheat
-four from five pounds o week to
four pounds week.-United

TEST OF GOVERNMENT
(Stoughton Cooley in The Chi
cagO Herald

(Stoughton Cooley in The Chi
cago Herald
II almost makes one rub his
eyes these days Of big events TO
make sure he is not dreaming.
No more than a few months ago
we were haggling over a few dol
lars to be put into shipping, into
interior water ways and into
reclamation projects. Now we
are pouring hundreds Of millions
into the various schemes that
promise to serve the nation in
its needs.
A year ago political partisans
were most bitter in charging
their opponents with trying to
ruin the country; yet the session
Of Congress just closed saw life
long antagonists united in the
most momentous legislation in
history.
Nor has the change in the
point Of view of the average citi-
zen been less remarkable. Men
and women have called them
selves Americans and they ap-
peared to have a certain pride in
their country, but they did not
take their citizenship seriously.
Even the buying of votes was
looked upon as minor offense.
Government to many meant an
institution Of oniceholders by
ofhceholders for ofIiceholders.
And now millions of people are
tingling with pride as they begin
to comprehend something of the
real worth of their country.
Learned men have speculated
on forms Of government and
carried on endless debates as to
whether the American system
would survive in its present
form or suffer such modihca,-
tions as would correct or avoid
this or that abuse. Some thought
the states should be the real
units of authority, others looked
to the nation. Many would re-
tain ultimate power in Congress,
while some would place it in the
hands of the President. And all
manners of predictions were
made regarding the breakdown
of our government when the real
stress should come. 1t might
serve in a limping way in time of
peace, they said, but never
could survive the shock of war.
1t must now be apparent to all
these croakers that they over
looked the prime essential in the
case, the people. Democracy
means the rule of the people.
The particular form of the gov
eminent is of comparatively
little Importance as long as the
ultimate power rests with the
people. Doubtless some forms
allow more direct and easy ex-
preston of the popular will than
others, and it is the duty of po-
litical philosophers and states
men to discover and apply them
but the main thing is the prin-
oiple.
The government may have as
its nominal head a president
chosen by deputies, as in France,
a hereditary king, as in Great
Britain, or a president chosen by
the people, as in the United
States; but it is recognized in
them all that the power rests
with the people.
sss
Should it not be reassuring,
therefore, to those who think the
present assumption of powers by
the President may result in a
curtailment of our liberties, to
see democracy functioning under
so many forms and conditions2
The President has been clothed
with autocratic powers because
it is only thus that a war can be
fought; but every shred of this
authority, it should be noted, is
conferred upon him by an agency
that can recall it at will. Therein
is the solution of the question
