ARMY WANTS ASSURANCE

Paris, May 80. - Marcel Cashin,
one of the Russian Socialist dele
gates attending the meeting of the
National Council of the French So
cialist party writing in the Pari-
sien says:
Sure from now onward that the
war objects of the Russian republi-
can government are the same as its
own, the Russian army wishes to
feel the same certainty as regards
the allied governments. Premier Ri
bots speech in the Chamber of De-
puties will be very useful from this
point of view, but more must be
done. 1t will be necessary for the
combined allied powers in complete
agreement, to express thmselves il
| the same way"

NATIONAL GUARD
CALLED TO STOP
BIG RACE RIOT
Negroes Arm Selves For
Pitched Battle With In
furiated Whites
By Associated Press

East St Louis, ILL.,, May 3O.-The
second night of antinegro riots here
reached its climax after three white
men and two negroes had been
wounded by bullets, several negroes
beaten and half dozen negro homes
burned, then subsided suddenly and at
midnight the city was comparatively
quiet Rioting started Monday night
after meeting of the city council, at
which labor leaders protested against
the wholesale importation of negro
laborers into East st. Louis.
Small mobs formed quickly last
night but were soon dispersed. Dis
turbances began about o'clock in the
outlying districts and were confined to
these sections. Six companies of Ma
tional Guardsmen under the command
of Colonel C. T.. Clayton, Fourth Innl-
nois Infantry formed a Gordon about
negro districts and dispersed groups
of men wherever sighted, but as the
lights had been shot out, small mobs
formed and clashed with the negroes
at frequent intervals, despite their
vigilance.
Close the Saloons.
Two laborers were wounded slightly
when they entered q negro district.
Thomas Ritchie, private detective for
~ CiIo INdllTodui was
hit by charge of shot from a shot
gun in the hands of a negro whom he
had challenged in the company yards.
His wound was not serious.
One of the wounded negroes prob
ably will die, but the other suffered
only flesh wound. Whenever shoot
ing started, the guards rushed to the
scene and dispersed the troublemak-
ers. who offered no resistance to the
officers.
Several false fire alarms were
turned in, and six negro homes were
fired by whites and burned to the
ground. None 'of the negroes who
were beaten was badly hurt.
Saloons and picture shows were
closed at o'clock last night. Camps
for the six companies of guardsmen
were established to-day.

Get $16.5O Of 81 400 Back

Henry Null. of Tower City, last
evening made a complaint of robbery
in the Strawberry and Cowden sec

a round $1400. When searched he

departed apparently perfectly satis-
