AMERICAN ARMY TRANSPORT AN.
TITLES HoMEWARD BOUND
ToRPEDoED.
SUBMARINE WAS NOT SEEN
War Department investigating Alleged
Leak To Germany Of Troop Move
ments-kimzey Of Mississippi
Did Not Lose Life.


The sinking Of the transport In
titles with the loss OF 20 lives is
believed 70 have followed another
leak of information into Germany
with regard to troop movements.
The war department took Off
cial cognizance OF this with the is
sue of the following order:
ITO the commanding generals Of
all national guard divisions:
Communicate orders to each or.
ganization commander in your d.
vision that during the time they
are In federal service they are pro-
htbited from making any report to
the governor or authorities, civil or
military, of their respective states,
relating to any movement OF their
organizations, or Of any other fed
eral troops or personnel"
1t was recalled in this cOnnec.
thon that some days ago a colonel
Of a national guard regiment le-
ported to the governor Of his state
the arrival of his force in France
with request that the governor
publish it. This was done and the
papers of the state in question an
nounced the arrival OF its contin-
gent extensively, despite the pro-
tests OF the war department to the
governor.

COLOMBIA PROTESTS AGAIN
Bitter Feeling Being Developed in
South American Country Toward
the Allies.

Washington.-Th Colombian sen
ate has passed a resolution protesting
against Germany's ruthless submarine
warfare, the state department was ad-
vised by Perry Belden, the American
charge at Bogota.
Officials view the action OF the Co
lombian senate az signifying the de-
velopment Of a better feeling toward
this country and the allies Failure
Of the United States senate to ratify
tho treaty to pay Colombia for the
partition Of Panama had aroused con.
siderable feeling in the South Ameri-
can republic.
The adoption of the resolution was
especially gratifying to officials here,
because German business interests in
Colombia, which have been very in.
tluential with the governmental party,
had been conducting an energetic
propaganda to prevent Colombia from
joining other South American coun.
tries in condemnation of Germany's
methods OF warfare.
The action also was regarded as i'm.
portant because Colombian territory
had been under suspicion by this gov
ernment AZ a possible location Of Ger.
man wireless plants and as OF pros.
pective value to the central powers
as 4 submarine base.

artist, woodsman and guide, who was
drowned in Canoe lake. July s, 1917.
"He lived humbly but passionately
with the wild 1t made him brother
to all untamed things of nature. It
drew him apart ard revealed itself
wonderfully to him.. 1t sent him out
from the woods, only to show these
revelations through his art. and II took
him to itself at last.
His fellow artists and other friends
and admirers join gladly in this trib-
ute to his character and genius.

Fuel Gas as Petrol substitute.

The shortage Of petrol. Us gasoline
ia known abroad. Occasioned by the
enormous quantities needed on the
battle fronts, has resulted in England.
In the introduction OF a fuel alterna-
tive. In England the use of motorcy-
cles for private use necessarily came
to a standstill when the gasoline be-
came acute. But 1t Is reported that
motorcyclists there soon discovered
that coal gas would serve just as well.
A gas container in the form of bal
loon Is hoisted on steel supports
above the machine, giving the whole
outfit the appearance Of zeppellp
pup.
They are popularly termed balloon
bikes and are said to operate much
more cheaply on coal gas than on gaso
line. The possibilities that might re-
suit from meeting between this new
contraption and good broadside gale,
can only be imagined, but there woulG
undoubtedly be no lack of thrills.-Ex-

CROWDER SOLVES
BIG DRAFT PROBLEM
SECOND DRAFT TO BE DIVIDED
INTO FIVE DIVISIONS ACCORD
ING TO DEPENDENCY.
TO SIMPLIFY SECOND CALL

Neutrality-suspicious. Marshal Gen
eral Crowder has solved the problem
OF getting registered men without
cause for exemption first into the
army and calling last those with de-
pendents or industrial need for them
at home.
All tho men in the second draft
will be divided into five classes.
Those in the first class will be
without dependents or industrial de.
mand FOR them at home.
Those in the fifth class will be Grip.
pies and Others who could not serve
under any circumstances.
In the second, third and fourth
class will be those who are needed
at home or in the trenches in varying
degrees.
The second call will not be called
until the first class is exhausted; the
third class will not be called until the
second is exhausted, etc.
This will not only simplify the draft
machinery, hut meet the objections
of farmers and munition makers.

the first army Of $4,000 men 4 new
system will be installed for the crea.
tion Of succeeding armies. which will
greatly lessen the labors of tie local
and district boards. SO far has this
been accomplished that it is believed
that under the new system so per cent
Of the work will be eliminated, while
the forms to be used will not exceed
20 in number, as compared with ap-
proXimately 1S2 forms, which the
present system requires.
