DRAFT IN CANADA SEEMS SURE
House of Commons BY Vote Of 118 to
SIS Favors CONSUMPTION.

Ottawa, Canada-The house of
commons, by 118 to So, adopted
Premier r. L. Bordens resolution
passing the draft bill to second read
ing.
The bill still has to run the gauntlet
of detailed consideration in the COM
mittee stage, and final confirmation at
third reading. Then it will go to the
senate for final action. With the ma
jority sentiment prevailing in the two
chambers the success of the bill at
all future stages is regarded as as
sured, but it will be the end of the
month before it becomes law.
Predictions that an attempt to ap-
ply conscription and take men for mil
itary service by compulsion, will re-
suit in resistance to the point of blood
shed in Quebec have given a decided
ly serious aspect upon the situation.
English speaking Ontario represen-
tatives and many from Western Can
ada belonging to both parties insist
that compulsion must be applied even
if disturbances follow.

GOLDMAN, ANARCHIST, JAILED
Sentenced to Prison for 2 Years for
interfering With Draft.

New York-Emma Goldman and
Alexander Berkman. anarchists, Mon
day were found guilty of conspiracy to
obstruct the operation OF the selectiye
draft law by jury in federal court.
Judge Mayer imposed the maximum
penalty of two years in the federal
penitentiary and fine Of $4,000 on
each prisoner. The jury deliberated
only 40 minutes.
The swiftness with which the jury
found them guilty was surprise to
the arch-anarchists. Each had made
an impassioned plea to the jury, urg-
ing acquital on the ground that the
government had not established the
charge of conspiracy to defeat con-
scription.

Evolution Of the Collar.

1t is interesting to trace the evolu-
ton of the modern collar from those
ancient ruffs that filed all the space
between chin and chest with a mass
of white ruffles. In the seventeenth
century the rufus gave place to the
wide collar of lace or plain linen that
rolled out over the coat. Under King
James ii, in the seventeenth century,
the coat, which had been for hun
dred years evolving from the loose
tunic, became well established, but II
was much longer than that worn to-
day and was buttoned down the front
to the knees, and along with this coat
came into fashion the large cravat with
laced ends. The frilled shirt front
and the white cravat tied in a great
bow at the chin, followed. This gave
way, early in the last century, to the
shirt with rolling collar attached.

TRAIN KILLS THREE GUARDSMEN
Were Crossing Tracks Near Fort and
Did Not See Danger.

Detroit-Threc members of Co. A,
Engineers of the Michigan National
Guard, Arthur Smith, "a years old,
George Schneider, "a, and Joseph Bull
lock, %, were killed by a passenger
train early Monday night at the Cav
airy avenue Wabash railroad crossing,
near Fort Wayne. All three soldiers
enlisted at Calumet, Mich.
Cavalry avenue crossing is without
gates or fiagman. The only warning
given of approaching trains is ringing
of a bell. When the soldiers arrived
at the crossing on their way down
town from Fort Wayne, a freight train
was going west. They waited till the
cars passed and, thinking the track
clear, started forward.
Arthur Smith was at the Mexican
border with Company A, and, although
he enlisted in Calumet, he is a native
of Spokane, Wash. George A. Schnei-
der was a resident of Rockland, Mich,
and Joseph Bullock lived in Calumet.

$4,000 PRISONERS ARE TAKEN
Russian Onslaught Menaces HoIlcz,
Gateway to temberg-Rapidly
Being Hemmed In.

London-New and powerful blows
are being struck by the Russians in
Galcia. Apparently they have broken
the Austro-German line west Of Stanis-
lau, south of Halicz, as Tuesdays Off
cial report from Petrograd not only
reports important gains for the Rus
slams in the Stanislau area, but de-
clares the Russian cavalry is pursuing
the retreating enemy. This pursuit
already has reached the Lukva river.
Halicz, the gateway to Lemberg
from the south, seems doomed to fall
unless the Russian onslaught is quick
ly stopped. A Russian push north
west from Stanislau would result in
Halicz being hemmed in on three
sides.
The renewed Russian onslaught
brought with it capture of 1000 men
and As guns, including a dozen large
calibre pieces. The total Russian cap

Turkish Towels.

Turkey exports more towels than
any other country, which is largely be-
cause the average Turk has no use for
a towel himself. When the first Turk
made towel he couldn't imagine what
to do with 1t, so he sold 1t to a tourist
and in this way the Turkish towel in
dustry arose. A Turk has no patience
with towel. AS soon as he makes
one he wants to have II out of his
sight. He doesn't mind Turkish rugs,
and he will even smoke q Turkish
cigarette, but Turkish towel gets him
going. The leading feature Of Turk
ish towel is that you can dry yourself
on both sides, which makes 1t of spe-
cial value. Operating a Turkish towel
Is quite knack and most people de-
velop their own style of play. A man
can get more vigorous exercise after
a morning bath in drying his back with
Turkish towel than In hustling
trunks. The only objection to Turkish
towels as an exercise Is that 1t doesn't
get you out In the open air.-Illlnois

STANDARD OF MINUTEMEN
Farmers Who Fought at Lexington
Had NO National Emblem, but
Had Banner of Their Own.

Under what flag did the "embattled
farmers" fight? There was no ma
tlonal flag then, no state or provincial
flag even. But, says Peleg ID. Harri-
son, according to the Boston Globe,
there was flag, nevertheless.
The farmers Of Lexington carried
the cornet or standard Of the Three
County troop. That banner was de-
signed for a local company of cavalry
raised In the counties Of Essex. Suffolk
and Mlddlesex, Massachusetts,, in 1859.
The office of color bearer Of this troop
was n kind Of inheritance In the Page
family. The standard was carried In
King Philips war in 1876. When the
minutemen were organized, Nathanlel
Page III of Bedford carried the old
flag TO the drills. At the midnight
alarm Captain Page snatched up the
standard and carried 1t with him to
Concord, where 1t waved above the
smoke of that battle"
The flag is now preserved under
glass In fireproof safe Of the public
library at Bedford, Mass. and can be
seen by arrangement with the libra
rian.

GUARD DRAFTED INTO ARMY
President Announces They Become
Federal Troops August 5.

Washington-The last step neces-
sary to make the entire National
Guard available for duty in France was
taken Monday by President Wilson
with the issuance of proclamation
drafting the state troops into the army
of the United States August 5.
To make certain the purpose of the
national defense act is carried out,
the proclamation also specifically de-
clares the men drafted are to be dis
charged from the old militia status on
that date. In that way the constitu-
tional restraint upon use of militia
outside the country is avoided and the
way paved for sending the regiments
to the European front.

American exports, authorized in a pro-

dered put into operation July 10, by
President Wilson, in a proclamation
putting under license shipments to all
countries of the most important export
commodities.
In a statement accompanying the
proclamation, the president declared
the governments policy will be first
to give consideration to American
needs; next, to supply the neutral
countries wherever practicable 1t is
made clear that every effort will be
made to see that no supplies reach
the central powers.
Through control of coal and fuels
the government intends to take a
firm grasp on shipping. An arrange

American and British governments

Primarily, the embargo was issued
to check the export of foodstuffs to
neutrals adjacent to Germany. The
president is determined no more sus-
tenance shall reach enemies of the
United States through these mediums.
The proclamation does not mean
that none of the commodities named
may not be exported. They may be
exported only in such quantities as:
l. To relieve the stringency and
high prices in our own country.
2. To effectually prevent neutrals
from sending any possible surplus
into Germany.
g. To provide, so far as possible, an
equal distribution of the food, fuel and
iron supplies among the allied ma
tions.
The first effect of the proclamation
will be the immediate organization in
London of the buying council of the
Allies. Once established, this council
will proceed with the purchase of
wheat through one central agency and
its allotment to all the countries of
the world outside the central powers
The council Immediately will estab-
lish an agency in the United States
for the purchase of our wheat. 1t is
probable the federal food administra-
ton will be asked to perform this func-
ton under the direction of Herbert G.
Hoover.

GERMAN PLANES RAID LONDON
Kill 81, Injure 141-Teuton's Lose
Three Machines.

London-A second descent upon
London by squadron of airplanes
was made Saturday morning between
3 and 10 o'clock, when the business
section was most crowded.
Although the German contingent
was larger, more daring, more deliber-
ate in its movement and descended
much lower than on the visit of June
IL, the number of killed and wounded
was, according to the first official roll,
roughly one-third the previous casual
ty list. Thirty-seven were killed and
141 injured. The destruction of prop
erty may have been greater, but that
is impossible to estimate.
The flight of the Germans over Lon
don lasted about 30 minutes. British
airmen engaged the 20 or more ma
chimes of the enemy for several min
utes over the metropolis and anti-air-
craft guns were going briskly, but
without success.
The admiralty was able to report,
however, that naval airmen, who fol-
lowed them to sea. brought down three
machines.
East Enders Start Riots.
Rioting started in the East End of
London when the people took into their
own hands retaliation for the raid
made on the city by German airplanes.
Great crowds, mostly women, par
AIDED the streets attacking shops bear
ing German names. The fronts of
these shops were demolished. Includ-
ed in the crowds were men and wo-
men whose children had been manned
or killed by the German bombs.
At two places, the furniture was
dragged from the shops after the doors
had been burst in, piled high in the
street and burned.
German Towns Bombed.
In reprisal for German air raids
on open British towns. "a French air
planes made raids on towns situated
far in the interior of German territory.
Eleven French airplanes flew over
Treves, on which they showered $3.50
kilos of shells. Seven fires started,
one of great violence in the central
station. Six other machines lombard

Another airplane pushed as far as
Essen and dropped projectiles on the
buildings of the Krupp factory.
