FIERCE BAT TIE ARMY IN FRANCE
NOW RAGING IN DUE To RECEIVE
FORBIDDEN CITY NEW EQUIPMENT

PARIS, July 13.-Maj Gen. William
Sibert, who will command the AmerE
can training camp behind the French
front, has arrived here.
1t was announced the American Red
Cross will take over all French infirrn-
aries-relief stations-between its base
and the portion of the front where the.
American troops will be placed, sup
planting the French who will take up
other duties elsewhere
The American troops in France, ii
is made known in partial report of
Investigations made by American Off
GERS, will discard the well known pou-
clio while in service in France, ana
will adopt the French cavalry slicker
in modified form as best ADAPTED to
trench fighting.
The troops also will be equipped
with sleeveless canvas jenkins lined
with wool as sleeping bags and with
numerous other devices that have
proved effieaeious against the intense
cold of the winter.
The familiar puttee will depart in Ia
yor of cloth leggins such as were used
by the expeditionary force in Mexico
Each soldier will have a folding cloth
fatigue cap to wear under the irksome
steel helmet.
Some idea may be gained of the iIn-
mensity of the task OF supplying the
American armies when they reach fuIa
strength by the fact that each milliora
men must have ten thousand ton re-
frigeration plant, the steel and iron for
which must be brought from America
The refrigerators must be located nnt
only at the base but close behind the
fiahting line. Storage tanks with a ca
pacity of million gallons will be
needed at the bases with depots for
transferring gasoline to obviate the
necessity of using trains.
Plans already far advanced include
the construction of so-called salvage
depots for the repair of wornout cloth
ing and shoes. A pair of shoes lasts
a soldier in the trenches only three
weeks on the average. Each million
men probably will consume one million
pounds of meat daily
American army headquarters fn
Paris is rapidly proving itself too small
for the volume Of work in progress

sides.
Herded i'm Baseball Park.

After an hours wait the captors and
captives marched to the depot, where
another squad on duty had taken
charge of several hundred more men.
At $3.50 o'clock the prisoners were lin
ed up two abreast Flanked by 1000
heavily armed citizens, the captives
were ordered to march down the rail-
road tracks toward Warren. At Low
ell, suburb, about 300 more alleged
I. w. W.'s were merged into the pro-
cession.
The baseball park at Warren was
chosen for the place of assembling the
men to be deported. Word of the clean
up" had preceded the sheriff and his
ran and when the prisoners reached
the park the hundreds of spectators on
the scene set up jeers,
When the prisoners were inside the
enclosure half the armed bands formed
guard around the park, while the other
half started a systematic search of the
ntire district for men who were
identified with the Industrial Workers,
or who could not account for their
presence in a satisfactory manner
Armed men went through rooming
houses and restaurants, questioning
every one. Those who did not answer
satisfactorily were marched between
two lines of citizens to the park. For
two hours leaders of the Industrial
attempted to make themselves
heard above the boots and jeers of the
crowd When it seemed as if the park
would hold no more, six additional
squads of prisoners were packed in and
the guards were increased.
Shortly before noon a special train
of cattle cars rolled upto the park.
The prisoners were marched in sin
81 efile from the enclosure up to the
runways and onto the cars. AS each
man entered the car, according to the
authorities, he was asked if he wanted
to go to work, or if he could give the
name of a reliable citizen who would
vouch for him. Those who expressed a
desire for employment were held for
further investigation Several prom
inent citizens of Bisbee and Lowell
who openly declared they were in sym
pathy with the Industrial Workers
were forced into the cars
with the unkempt crowds. Among these
was William B. Cleary an attorney,
widely known through Arizona, who
was taken into custody when the raid
first started. Cleary was alleged to
have spoken openly in favor of the In
dustrial Workers movement.
All afternoon the citizens continued
questioning every one on the streets.
Last night hundreds of men patrolled
the streets.

THOMAS REJECTED
F Or ] JUOGESHIP

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 13.--
Judge William E. Thomas, of Valdosta,
whose nomination as federal district
judge of the southern district of Geor-
gia, which was sent to the senate We'd
nesday, was yesterday rejected by the
senate, on the motion of Senator
Thomas w. Hardwick
This is the second time that Senator
Hardwick has blocked the president S
attempts to FIJI the Office, the senate
having rejected a few weeks ago the
noI1 nation of Judge U. " Whipple,
Of Cordele, on the complaint of Mr..
dardwick that the nomination was per-
sonally offensive to him.
He made the same appeal yesterday;
first to the subcommittee of the senate
judiciary committee, consisting of Sen
ators Hoke Smith, OF Georgia; King, of
Utah, and Borah, of Idaho; next to the
full committee, which then voted to
report the nomination adversely, and
finally in an executive session he told
The senate that the nomination, be-
cause of the manner in which it had
beer made, was Objectionable to him.
On the ground of senatorial courtesy
the senate acceded to his request and
rejected the nominee.
A degree of bitterness has developed
III the relations between the Georgia
senators and the white house which
makes it extremely unlikely that an
other nomination for the office will
be sent in at any time in the near fu-
ture.
The president considers this simply
one link in the chain which the Geor-
gia senators have helped to forge to
bind and obstruct him in the discharge
Of his outies and in the conduct of the
wsr.
The situation that has arisen will,
it is feared. mitigate against any Geor-
gia applicant for any federal position
where the nomination must be submit
tea 70 the senate far ratification.

SEVERAL SPEEOEPs IN
POLICE COURT TODAY

Quite an array of traffic ordinance
violators faced Mayor Council this
morning when he convened the Re-
corder's Court in the absence of Recor-
der T. O. Marshall. The motorists
hailed before the bar of justice were
charged variously with speeding, ex-
cessive noise and other infractions Of
the city traffic regulations.
J. E. Mathis, who was the complain
ing witness in most of the cases, re-
ceived permission to address the court
and made brief statement in which he
deplored the necessity which compell-
cd him to file the charges against sew
eral of the offenders, but declared that
unless the traffic ordinances are en-
forced the safety Of the public is en-
dangered. to say nothing of the nuis-
ance caused by unthinking and ire
sporsible motorists. Mr. Mathis, in
concluding his remarks, requested that
the cases be dismissed, but asserted
that if he had occasion to prefer sim

LIGHT GUARDS To
GET ARMS SHORTLY.

Arrangements are now being com
pleted whereby it is thought that ri
nes used by the Americus High School
Cadet Corps may be also used by the
Sumter Light Guards recently organ
lied for the purpose of affording mill
tary protection to this community in
the absence of the Americas Light In
fantry
1t is expected that the Americas
Board of Education will hold a meet
ing within the next few days and the
matter will be definitely decided 1t is
understood that several members Of
the board have already signified their
assent to the proposition.
There are 81 Krag-Jorgensen car
bines in the custody of the local board
which secured them from the war de-
partment last year when the military
feature of the Americas High School
was inaugurated. There is also a
sufficient supply of ammunition. 1t is
proposed that the Guards use the guns
regularly until September 18th, when
school opens, ard after that date the
cadet corps and the military organiza-
tion of the city will use the rifles
jointly.
Efforts have not been abandoned to
secure rifles for the company from the
Wer Department and the most recent
from Washington, D.
c., are much more encouraging in this
regard.
The question of uniforms is also
under consideration and several man
ufacturers have been requested to
quote prices
On Monday night every active mem
Der of the Light Guards is expected to
be on hand for at this time the non
commissioned officers will be named
and the company permanently sized
into squads.

OFFICERS IN DUEL
WITH LIQUOR MEN

ALBANY, July 13-Four strange men
in touring car, pursued by Lee
county officers in another automobile
made their escape yesterday morning.
after a running fight between the two
parties with pistols and shotguns. Two
of the fugitives' bullets made holes in
the officers" car, and the officers be-
lieve they scored hits also. The fight
occurred in the edge of SmithviIIe, af-
ter the officers had captured Ford
car and its driver with two suitcases
Of liquor from Jacksonville, that had
been put off the Seminole Limited
there.
The car of the four strangers was
also searched by the officers, but as no
whiskey was found in it, no arrests
we're made.
The four men, however, followed the
officers with their prisoner and cap
tured car to Leesburg, and after the
negro had been placed in jail there
the officers pursued them back toward
Smithville. The fugitives escaped al
ter they had fired at the officers and
the officers had returned the fire The
officers found three additional suit
cases of whiskey in the road between
Smithville and Leesburg, where it IS
supposed the men threw them during
the chase.
The captured Ford car and the tour
ing car had Alabama license tags ON
them, and the officers believe they were
from Girard, Ala Messages were sent
out in an effort to head the men OF.
but at last reports received here they
had not been captured 1t is said the

CHILD INJURED BY MOVING
MACHINE IS RECOVERING

The two-year-old son of MIR. and
Mrs. Howard Countryman, who was so
seriously injured by moving machine
a short time ago, is recovering nicely,
and it is said that the bones have
knitted together perfectly.
Both bones of the child's right leg
were cut entirely in two, just above
the ankle and only the tendon held the
foot to the leg. 1t is a subject of
great qualification to his parents that
he did not lose his foot, and that he
&.ll probably not even limp as a re-
suit Of the accident.

AMER|CUs ELKe To
PURCHASE HO NE.

The Americus Lodge of Elks, No.
752, has taken definite steps looking
to the purchase of permanent home
and committee composed of w. j.
English, W. ]. Jcsey and C. H. Burke,
is now investigating available proper
ties in this city suitable for this pur-
pose.
Thus far two sites have been con-
s'dered, the Thornton Wheatley prop
erty at the corner of Lamar and Hamp-
ton streets, and the residence of Mrs
D. NJ Borum, on Church street.
Both of these properties are locked
upon as very desirable for the pur-
pose intended, but no definite negotia-
tiors have been entered into as yet,
the committee desiring to make a
thorough canvass of the available
sites.
For several years the Americus Elks
have been agitating the question of
purchasing permanent home, but va
rious circumstances have arisen from
time to time to prevent definite action
on the matter. At present, however,
the lodge is in excellent condition, with
about $50 mmebeTs enrolled and the
need for an Elks' Home has become
more apparent.
The committee has been given full
to enter into negotiations for
the purchase of a suitable property,
and it is expected that within short
time announcement will be made of the
conclusion of the transaction.

30 BALD HEADS MAKE MEN
IMMUNE FROM TUBERCULOSIS?

ATLANTA, Ca, July 13.-Did you
ever hear of a bald-headed man dying
of tuberculosis? An Atlanta physic-
ian who has treated many consump-
tives, declares that he doesn't recall a
single bald-headed man in the list,
and the interesting question arises as
to whether bald-headedness is not a
sign that a man is immune from the
white plague. At first glance it
might seem absurd to argue that the
corGition of a mans scalp has any
thing to do with the condition of his
llngs, but statistics seem to prove that
there is real connection.
