STUFF PlCKETS BARRED NOW
Washington Police Stop Blockade of
White House Entrance-TWo
Women Under Arrest.

Washington, June 23.-Police today
put an end to all suffrage picketing
of the White House. AS a result of
the rioting Wednesday and yesterday
Major Pullman issued strict orders
against permitting the militants to
flaunt their banners or to stand be-
fore the White House.
Pullman served formal notice on the
women at $50 o'clock that they could
not continue their picketing. Then he
strung a line of patrolmen and police
women from suffrage headquarters a
block away from the White House up
to and along the avenue on which the
mansion fronts.
The orders against picketing came
as a direct result of conference be-
tween Pullman, Inspector Grant and
Miss Alice Paul, slim, frail leader of
the cause"

NEW RANGE WAR IN KANSAS
Homesteaders in Western Part of
State Are at Outs With Owners
of Cattle Herds.

War is threatened between home
stead settlers and cattle rangers in
two or three western Kansas counties
along the Colorado line. Warnings
have been sent to the governor and
attorney general and they in turn are
instructing the county peace officers
to keep close tab on the situation and
de everything possible to avert blood
shed.
The range in Hamilton and other
adjoining counties on the Colorado
line is particularly good this season
and two or three big Colorado cattle
companies are running their stock
over on the Kansas range. In recent
years many homesteaders have taken
claims in those counties and they are
trying to raise some crops. They are
not in financial condition to fence
their land. AS result the big cattle
herds are overrunning the homesteads
and destroying crops. The home
steaders are furious.
County Attorney Yaggy of Syracuse
was in Topeka recently comforting
with state officials in regard to the
trouble. Aside from the law, the only
remedy offered by law is a civil suit
for damages. The homesteaders in
sist that they must have crops to live
on; that they cannot thrive on law
suits. If it were suit over just one
crop it wouldn't be so bad, but to
plant crops every year only to reap
a lawsuit is a thankless occupation.
They are insisting that the state give
them protection and permit them to
pursue the peaceful pursuit of farm
ing.
The sheriff has been cautioned by
the governor to afford the homestead
ers every protection the law provides
and to send word if the uprising be-
comes acute. If trouble should come
after the national guards are called
into military service and the sheriff is
unable to handle the situation the fed
era1 government will put some of its
troops at the disposal of the state to
Quen any disturbance But the cattle
rangers, it is hoped, will show some
patriotism at this time and take steps
to check the destruction of crops.

WILSON CALLS ON SINGLE MEN
President Issues Proclamation Urging
EnIistments in Regular Army
Before the First of July.

Washington, June 21-President
Wilson issued a proclamation today
designating the week of June % TO 80
as recruiting week for the regular
army and called upon unmarried men
without dependents TO enroll for war
service in order that the ranks of the
regulars might be filled promptly
The proclamation follows:
81 hereby designate the period Of
June % to June 80 next as recruiting
week for the regular army, and call
upon unmarried men between the
ages of Is and 40 years, who have
no dependents and who are not en-
gagged in pursuits vitality necessary 20
the prosecution of the war, to present
themselves for enlistment during the
week herein designated to the num-
Der of 10000.
(Signed) WOODROW WILSON,
The Presidents action was taken at
the request of army officials who have
been seriously concerned over the
slow rate Of recruiting for the regular
army, despite the fact that the war
departments recruiting agencies cover
every section of the country and that
the men are asked 20 serve only for
the period Of the war.
It had been hoped that the regular
service could be brought to its whole
war strength of approximately 800, 900
men by June 80, which would have
permitted the War Department to
carry out its plan in regard to the
training of all the forces to be raised,
and also as to the dispatch of armies
to France.
For several days, however, the aver
age enrolment for the army per day
has been little more than 1000 men,
instead of the 5000 or more the de-
partment hoped to secure.
Today's recruiting bulletin shows
that since April 1, 121, 1903 men have
been enrolled as war volunteers of the
1898 necessary to bring the service
to war strength.
The army, therefore, is now in the
neighborhood of 10000 men short of
war strength, and the Presidents call,
the first he has made directly for war
volunteers, is designed to fill in this
gap as quickly as possible.

FLOUR SIS ABARREL TOO HIGH
Te Bring Necessities to Proper Level,
Government MonoPoIies Are sug-
gested by the Experts

Washington, June 20-FoOd specula-
tors have been taking so million dol
lars a months for the last five months
"a total OF Il billion doIIars-from
the American people, Herbert c. Hoo
yer today told senators in explaining
the purposes Of the Food Control bill
now before Congress.
Mr.. Hoover said this country has
been experiencing unprecedented
prices and rampant speculation" cit
ing how middlemen and all other per-
sons in the distribution processes
have been purchasing increasing sup
plies to avert individual shortage.
Mr.. Hoover cited the canning trade
as an example where the entire output
OF vegetables and fish for 1917 has
been disposed of already before it has
ever reached the Gamers. He predict
ed further high prices.
Thousands of men, he said, who here
tofOre have never owned a dollars
worth of foodstuff are now specuIat-
ing in necessities.
The average prices to the con-
sumers in countries where food ad-
ministration is now in effect are lower
than those in the United States" he
said In England the price of bread
is even 25 per cent below the price we
pay 1 believe that unless some ad-
minfstration of our food is taken. we
will look back at these prices as be-
ing moderate
Mr.. Hoover denied that the bill es-
tablishes a food dictatorship He
characterized the purposes Of food ad-
ministTation as to mobilize the people
in order to carry out the advice given
them by the government officials and
to decentralize the functions of the
administration in order to centralize
the functions Of the food administra-
ton into the various states
A commission to take charge of pro
duction and distribution of flour, su-
gar, and possibly a few other principal
commodities Mr.. Hoover said, is being
contemplated
With righteous manufacturers and
distributors" he said, "the price OF
flour should not have been over SO a
barrel Yet it averages S14. In the
last five months 4 billion dollars has
been extracted from the American
consumer in excess of normal profits
OF manufacturers and distributors"
Not one national trade association,
Hoover told the senators, is opposed
TO the Food Control bill

GERS report that there seems to
be an impression that men can
not enlist after they are regis
tered for the seIectiVe draft
army. The government is anx-
ious that this idea should be cor
rected, and men between the
ages of 10 and 20 encouraged to
enlist in the army, the navy, the
marine corps, the national guard
or the naval militia, and not wait
for the draft. Men enIisting in
any Of these several branches of
the armed service will have an
opportunity of later being detail
ed for service with the new army
as non-commissioned officers, or
of obtaining commissions in this
new army.
New regiments of the regular
army are now being organized,
and men enIisting in these or
CARNATIONS will have excellent
opportunities of being appointed
non-commissioned officers in
these regiments within a very
