It is to be noted that three states in the southeastern division shared equally in today's awards. It is learned that three other tented camps are to be located Should Alabama again draw It's share the third camp would certainly be placed in Birmingham.
 It is learned today that sometime ago General Wood recommended that all nine of the tented or National Guard camps be located in the state of Georgia When this informtion was

 The activity of the police, who ar rived too late to prevent banners from being demolished yesterday as the Rus sian mission was approaching the White House and twice today, appar- ently solved the problem growing out of President Wilson's refusal to make s.martyrs" of the women by ordering them removed.

Washington, June 21.-Pros- pect for passage of the admin istration food control bill by July 1, as earnestly desired by President Wilson, appeared brighter tonight after the House had rejected important amendments which promised to delay final action, and Senate leaders had tentatively agreed to compromises designed to greatly expedite consideration.
 Rejection in the House on point of order of proposals to include shoes, clothing. farm machinery and cotton seed under the regulation food provis- ions cleared the way to passage to such an extent that final vote is ex- pected sometime Saturday. Prohibi- tion proposals and Representative Len roots amendment to strike out the licensing feature of the bill constitute the only apparent obstacles to a final vote at that time.s -s45
 FEW CHANGES WANTED
 To pass the measure with as few addi- tions to the original draft as possible in order to expedite conference consideration is the plan of Representative Lever, in charge of the measu-e. He told the House today that minor changes could be made at leisure while it now is of the utmost importance that the big control machin- cry be started. House republicans are rallying generally to support the bill, one of the speeches today in its behalf being delivered by Representative Gillette of Massachusetts, acting republican leader.
