DRY WEATHER DANGERS
 ARE NOW ACCUMULATING

Dry weather dangers are accumu- lating at this time. It seems that every little season has a danger all it's own but none can deny that the hot dry weather of mid summer makes danger from fire exceedingly acute. Now therefore, says the fire prevention editor of the Southern Con- struction News, of Little Rock, let us get busy and thwart the fire fend.
 Drying weeds and grass should be carefully removed from proximity of wooden buildings or fences. Trash fires are common at this season. Everything has dried out until it is easy to ignite. Beware of the deadly bonfire.
 Then too Demon Gasoline is abroad in the land. The gasoline stove is saving mothers health but it's bad on fathers pocket book if not handled with respect mingled with caution and a little wholesome fear of the stuff. Never fill a gasoline stove by lamp light or while the stove is lighted or with other open flame in the same house.

 YARDS OF UNIFORM CLOTH
Substantially All Contracts Embraced in Departments Schedule on Blue Uniform Material Have Now
 Been Awarded.

The Navy Department has author ized the following:
 To meet enormous wartime require ments and provide for future needs the Navy in the past week has con- tracted for 4,500,000 yards of woolen uniform cloth, at an aggregate cost of more than SIG. 100000.
 With the placing of an order for 100000 yards with the American Woolen Co.,, of New York, substantial ly all contracts embraced in the de- partment's schedule on blue uniform cloth have now been awarded.
 The contracts constitute the largest purchase of woolen cloth ever made by the Navy, and one of the most i'm portant single contracts for woolen goods placed in the history of the trade, either here or abroad.
 The amount of wool in the grease required for the manufacture of the cloth is upward of 15,000,000 pounds. 1t has been estimated that if the cloth were delivered at one time it would require storage space of about 3O0,000 cubic feet and would weigh nearly 4,500,000 pounds.

 In addition, large contracts for trousers and overcoats have been previously let.
 The cloth will be made in about 35 separate mills, so that a supply is in- sured for the Navy regardless of any accident

te. New leadership for the Italian
army has been provided.
General Cadorna, who has been
In supreme command oi the Italian
army since the beginning Of the

the new committee.
General Diaz has been placed in
chief command Of the italians.
General Badoglio is second, and

mand.
General Foch, chief Of staff of
the French war ministry. and Gen.
eraI Wilson, sub-chief of the Brit
ish general staff. will serve on the
ntcr-alIed committee with General
Cadorna.
Among military officers the de-
cision of the allies to create per-
manent military committee has
caused great satisfaction. and it
is accepted as evident that the al
lies have awakened to the necessi-
ty for the closest union Of the
whole length Of the western front
for the political and military con-
duct of the war.
General Diaz is rated as one of
the ablest italian military leaders.
For years he was connected with
the general staff. He took part
in the libyan war, serving as
colonel, and was wounded so Sc
verey that he asked to be wrapped
in flag, feeling that death was
at hand. He has rendered dis
tinauished service in the present
campaign. He is from southern
Italy.
General Badoelio is north
crner. In the war he has been in
command Of brigade Of Berzas-
lieri, whose heroic deeds have
done much to decrease the gravity
of the disaster.
General Grandma was minister
Of war in the cabinet Of Premier
