SUBMARINES IN
 CHANNEL CAUGHT
Many German U-Boats Sent Down Unique Death Traps Prov
 ing Effective.

A British Port on the Southeast Coast, June 30.-(By Mail. )- Across the eastern mouth of the English channel there still stretches the barrier, which is one of the principal defenses of the allies Vi tai channel traffic against the visits of German submarines.
 The "barrage," they call the bar rier in naval phrases. It consists in general terms of a series of lob structions" stretched from huge steel buoys, shore to shore, 2O-odd miles. Any craft which strikes one of these Instructions straightaway explodes group of mines which spell finis to the intruder.
 A whole fleet of naval shipping is constantly engaged in maintain ing and patrolling the great bar rier. It's existence is no secret to the Germans, for they are constant ly sending over airplanes to chart buoys and mark any changes that may have been made since their last visits. And changes are constant ly being made.
 Here and there along the line are secret openings through which naval pilots may guide legitimate craft on their way, but these open ings are frequently altered and not even the airplanic eye of the Ger man can tell which buoy marks safe passage and which marks de- struction If his mine laying sub marines wish to enter the channel they must take their chances. They must cross submerged, for the pa trol boats are on constant duty, and if they escape the traps while submerged it can only be said that another miracle has happened.
 Such miracles seldom happen. Sometimes twice a week, sometimes oftener, explosions are heard at might from the great barrier, indi- eating that something" has touch ed off a group of mines. lmmedi- lately the patrols hurry off in the direction of the explosion. What

RUSSIA TO USE
 BLOOD AND IRON
Premier Kerensky Declares He Will Beat Nation Into
 Unity For War.

Petrograd, July 25.-"A blood and iron policy" will be put into effect if needed to save Russia by the government of Premier Keren- sky, to which unlimited power has been granted. In an interview yes terday the premier said:
 "Relyng upon the confidence of the masses and the army, the gov Iernment will save Russia and Rus sian unity by blood and iron, if ar gumcnt and reason, honor and conscience arc not sufficient.
 "The situation at the front is very serious and demands heroic measures. But 1 am convinced the organism of the state is sufficient fly vigorous to be cured without a partial amputatiOn."
 Premier Kerensky, who gave the interview to the Associated Press, announced that he would return to the front when the constitution of his government had been completed.
 PREMIER URGES UNITY. He continued: "The first prob lem of the present moment, which 1 is exceptionally heroic. is the con- centration and unison of power. The desertion of the constitutional democratic members of the Prince ILvoff government, which assertion is the cause of the recent revolt, gal forces and how small is the sum of our political consciousness. But I am convinced the misfortune through which we are going will awaken the conscience and sense of duty in our nation.
 'The new governments funda- mental task is the defense of the country from ruin and anarchy. In Ithis we rely upon the masses of the people and the army. My government will save Russia, and If it's motives of reason, honor and conscience prove insufficient, II will beat her into unity with blood land iron.
 MUST STOP RUSSIAN RETREAT
 "No one will dare take advant- age of the present situation in or der to attempt to restore the old regime. l find ridiculous the talk about the coming counter revolu- Ition under my leadership.
 "The new government must i'm mediately stop the retreat and the economic dissolution and restore the country's finances"

STILL SEARCHING
 FOR MISSING GIRL
Deputy Sheriff Goes to Hollywood, Mo, Ill Effort to Find AL
 legged Relatives.

Deputy Sheriff John Farrell left this morning for Hollywood, Mo-, to work in connection with efforts that are being made by officials of this county and citizens of near Marmaduke who are concerned over the continued absence of little Miss Flossie Smith, who disappear ed from the Burroughs home about July 10th. Information had been received at the sheriff's office here that the girl had relatives at Holly wood, and it was considered possi- ble that she had gone unannounced to visit them.
 Sheriff Elmore spent the forenoon near Marmaduke seeking informa- tion that might be of value in fol- lowing up conclusions already ar rived at. Young Daniel Burroughs. who is being held in the Paragould jail charged with murder, refuses to make any statement that will in any manner shed light upon the strange disappearance of the girl. He did admit to officials that on the afternon when she was last seen she dressed roughly, putting on ans old sweater, apparently for the purpose of going into the fields and woods to pick wild berries. It has been reported that the girl has relatives at Senath, Mo. Efforts tq locate such relatives by the use of telephone connections have failed.

AMBULANCE MEN
 UNABLE TO ENLIST
Americans in Paris Claim They Are Virtually Men Without A
 Country"

New York, July 24.-The New York Sun prints the following cable gram:
 Paris, July 23.-Large numbers | of American field ambulance men are arriving in Paris. Sixty per Icent of them are of the draft age. Several ambulance men have applied to American army headquarters for positions in the supply corps, but have been told they must enlist and take their chances on being as signed to the service.
 Many of these men when they Iarrive in France realize their duty to their country demands great CT sacrifice than enlistment in the ambulance, and they hope the war department will accept their enlist ments in France.
 SOME TRY FOR AVIATOR POST
 Some are trying to enter the French aviation service. They would prefer to enter the Ameri- can aviation service, but are told they must return to America to join Since most of the men are paying their own expenses, they face a situation in which they must enter the ambulance service or go destitute.
 q have been trying join the Am erican army" said one of these men today, ''but it looks as if l must join the French. Seven of us arrived with the Norton Harjes unit and we have been in Paris ten days We refused to go out with the ambu- lance service because we all are of the draft age and we wish to avoid criticism Besides we now realize what we did not realize while in the United States-that we are needed here in the army.
 ALL ANXIOUS TO FIGHT
 eve applied first to the aviation service and then to the transport service, but the American head quarters said their orders did not permit them to accept our enlist ments. Many of us came over, not to dodge military service, for we had joined the ambulance corps be- fore war was declared, but because we wanted to be the first to the firing line. We are not afraid to fight, but we want to serve under the United States flag.
 we realize that the ambulance service is not the place for us, but the only opening left is with the French army.
 MEN WITHOUT A COUNTRY.
 Even there we may be refused, because we are of the draft age in an allied country. We are men without a country"
 "The life of an ambulance driver is not altogether safe. Several have been killed or wounded in the Am erican service already this month. Sometimes they are exposed to the fire of the enemy without protection Tor weapons.
 Many former ambulance drivers are joining the French army. Pres ton Lockwood, a Chicago newspaper man, was an ambulance driver for "a year until he learned French. Then he entered the French artil- lery school, and he soon will be ready for the front. He says he knows twenty other young Ameri- cans who are doing the same thing."

WILLIAMS STANDS
 BEHIND PRESIDENT
Mississipian Refuses to Present Peace Resolution-Does Not
 Favor Soft Soap"

Washington, July 25.-Senator John Sharp Williams, whose sup port of the administration and whose loyalty to the cause of his country have not wavered in a single instance since the congress declared "that state of war ex- ists between the United States and the imperial German government, " has refused to present to the senate a set of resolutions in the shape of a memorial signed by a number of citizens of Webster county, Miss, asking that congress repeal the se- lective draft act and declaring in favor of negotiations with Germany for the restoration of peace. In his letter to J. B. Scott of Embry, Miss, Senator Williams said:
 "I send the papers back to you because 1 am not in sympathy with your position, and I advise you to send them to some senator or con gressman who is in sympathy with it"
 Elsewhere in his letter to MT. Scott, Senator Williams said:
 'I do not believe that this is the time to talk peace because l do not believe there could be obtained peace advantageous to the world until Germany realizes that she can not win this fight. She has not realized it. The minute she comes to her senses 1 am i'll favor of ne gotiating peace with her and in a general way along the lines of your memorial, with two exceptions. If YOU mean by mo forcible anneXa- tion of territory that the country of Schleswig- -Holstein should not be restored to Denmark; that Alsacc and Lorraine should not be restored to France; that the people of Bos- mia should not be permitted to align themselves with the Servians who are co-racial, colin gual and correlated with them that oppressed Poland should not be taken from Prussia and Austria and set free; that the gallant peo- pie of Bohemia should be left to the tender mercies of the flaps burgs, and that Turkey should still be left in possession of her territory in Europe and of the Christian Ar menians, to oppress and slaughter and rape them. then I emphatical- ly do not agree to your first prop osition.
 "Concerning the second proposi- tion, if you mean by mo punitive indemnities' that Germany shall es- cape scot free without paying one dollar for the barbarous and ruth less destruction of property and life of civilians in Belgium-a neu- tral country who had committed not even an alleged provocation, put was SlHlplN WdlhCu ONcl dhu destroyed I do not agree with you about the second proposition.
 q would advise, therefore, that you have your petition presented through somebody who is sympa- thetic with your views. I want to fight this fight to a finish--to a finish which shall secure for dem ocracy a place on the globe, and when we make peace with Germany I want the treaty to be signed by those representing the Germpn democracy and not by a member pf the house of Hohenzollern, which house has announced that treaties are but scraps of paper, and which therefore cannot be trusted, a house which has made a pride of break ing its publicly pledged word of honor and whose word of honor therefore can never be accepted

 Last week the Germans tried a new plan to break the barrier. They sent over three seaplanes with or ders to descend low over the bar riers, at any risk, and shoot their machine guns into the buoys, thus sinking them and the barrier with them. But the patrol boats were on hand and two of the three sea- planes never returned to their Ger man home.
