NO HOME CAMPS FOR GUARD
State Troops to Be Sent South ~
Soon az Mustered.


Washington. June 2o.-Shifting its
original plans the War Department
announced today that instead of
holding national guard troops in
their home quarters in the North af-
ter they are called out, they will be
sent directly to Southern camps.
Calls are arranged for July IS and IS
and August S, but it may be neces-
sary to make the general cali Aug
ust S.
As originally arranged, the nation
al guardsmen were to be held in their
home quarters for perhaps several
weeks. Now there will be practical
ly no delay in getting them into
Southern and Southeastern depart
ment camps.
The reason for. the possible delay
until August 5 is that officers are
rated for rank according to the actual
time they are in service. Hence.
some of the officers coming on July
IS, for instance, would have oppor-
tunity to get higher rate than equal.
ly efficient officers called later. The
matter of having joint call August
S is still in allegiance, and the three
dates originally announced stand for
the present.

NO TRACE OF SHIPS CREW

Base of the American Flotilla in
British Waters, July 2.-One of the
American destroyers in the patrol
flotilla reported this morning that she
was unable to find any trace of the
fifty members OF the crew of Brit

by submarine when the American
craft snatched the Britisher's wire

first message the destroyer picked
up. The position showed the Brit

TEST A NON-SINKABLE SUIT
Clad in One of These Garments a
Person May Float in the Ocean
Week.

John R:>Walker, chairman of thu
Federal Lumber Trade Commission
recently tested the efficacy of new
ly invented 1ifesaving suit by. don
ming it and leaping into the swirline
current of the Mississippi River from
the deck of the dock boards tug
Samson.
The garment which Mr.. Walker
tried out is a complete I-piece suit
Of rubber, wadded with a material
known as Ilana-silk, a woven fabric
which is more buoyant than cork.
Snugly encased in the suit one floats
upright in the water, the head well
above the surface, and the body warn,
and, dry. Pockets are provided in the
suit for canteen of fresh water and
for tins of condensed foods and it is
estimated the wearer of one of the
garments can keep himself alive
though adrift in the ocean. for a
week.
AS a test Mr.. Walker decided to
make the experiment one against
time. A few hundred yards upstream
from the naval training station the
Samson was rounded to, Mr.. Walker
standing in readiness with the col
lapsed anti-supmarine suit on the
deck beside him. The word go
was given by one of the guests who
held a stop watch, and twenty-nine
seconds after the signal Mr.. Walker
hit the Mississippi with a splash.
This suit will make being sub
marined or striking mine positive
pleasure" he declared.-New Orleans

County, announced today that there
had been at least forty-seven deaths
from entcrocolitis, or summer COM
plant, in New Madrid county since
the latter part of May, and that at
least one hundred others now are ill.,
This brings the number of known
deaths in Southern Missouri from the
malady. known to have been caused
by flies. up to 1I8. while there are
at least three hundred still i'll.
The disease. which first became
prevalent near this town in Scott
county, has in short time spread
to Dunklin, Butler. Mississippi, Penn

bringing with it many deaths. and
from indications tonight it will con-
tinue to spread rapidly unless e%
traordinary precautionary measures
are taken Immediately. ...
The county board OF health will
meet at Benton Monday morning to
determine the advisability of calling
on the state board of health for as
sistance.

Raemaekers Is
Edited in the
Hearst Papers
But Rumor That the Car
toonist Had Quit Work
Is Denied

1t has been rumored that Louis Rae
makers anti-German cartoons in the
Ncw York American were stopped.
and that the famous Hollander's asso-
citation with Northumberland there
upon came suddenly to an end.
The last wildly anti-German draw
ing was published on the front page of
the american August 15. 1t depicted
the Belgian Prince incident-s group
OF sailors on the deck of a U-boat wait
ing to be drowned and the caption
was: Shall There Be No Punishment? ?"
Previously there had been one each
day. Since that one there have been
only two, both Of them quite harmless.
This was bound to cause comment. es-
peclally IN view of the flourish with
which Raemaeker's connection with the
Hearst papers began and the amaze
ment with which it was generally re-
garded.
Inquiry yesterday elected the su-
thorltatlve statement that Mr.. Rae
maekers is still working for the Amer
lcdn. II Is admitted. however, that re-
lations are not as they were at the be-
ginning. The contract under which the
cartoonist went 20 the Hearst papers
stipulated that no captions or drawings
should be changed, yet captions have
been changed and drawings have been
suppressed
One Of the imprinted cartoons shows
the Pope holding out peace terms,
labelled, Made in Germany" Another
imprinted one presents Germany as a
monster that has just slain child.
The mother is France. burning for re-
venge. The Pope kneels between them
saying, 81 cannot take sides" Christ
is seen coming up behind France, say
ing: "I can"
Several captions have been changed.
In one case the name of a French ad-
miral was substituted for that of John
Bull to identify figure receiving the
American expedition.

peculiar usefulness 20 be seriously i'm
paired. Therefore. ne submits. His
view of the situation. according TO

U-Boat War
Is Attacked
In Reichstag
Centrist, Socialist and Bava-
rian Leaders Question
Its Success

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 25.-The sub
marine controversy again has been
raised in the Reichstag committee in
connection with the governments ef-
forts TO convince the members that
the unrestricted U-boat campaign is
great success.
Press dispatches, both for foreign
and home consumption, have been
printed, giving in great detail the ar
guments and statements from DR.. Karl
Helferich, Secretary of the Interior
and Vice Chancellor, and Vice-Admiral
Edusrd Won Capelle, Secretary Of the
Imperial Admiralty.
These dispatches, however, careful
ly refrained from mentioning the skep-
tical attitude of Matthias Erzberger,
Clerical member of the Reichstag;
Philip Scheidemann, Socialist member,
and Conrad Haussmsnn, Bsvarian Rad
ical.
Scheidemann took issue with DR..
Helfferich, questioning his account OF
the workings of the unrestricted CAM
paign, and warned the government tina.
it must not deceive itself regarding the
effect of the snkings on England.
Scheidemsnn said that nothing had
been brought forward to change his
party's attitude on the submarine
question.
Erzberger said that Admiral Won
Capelle's figures were based on an an
tiquated assumption, and in nowise
were they convincing, and he was still
skeptical in regard to these calcula-
tions. Haussmann declared that the
situation had, in certain quarters, beer
pictured exaggeiatedly as good, and
that expectations had been raised al!
too powerfully.
Vice Chancellor Helferich and Ad-
mirsl Won Capelle spoke repeatedly in
rebuttal to their critics arguments,
but apparently without success.

on Result
Especial Corr.spondencel

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-Herbert c.
Hoover, Federal Food Administrator.
came TO Chicago to-day "to look into
the meat situation.
He went away carrying in his pocket
a formal request from the packers
adopted unanimously in advance of his
arrival-that he appoint Federal die
tator" at once to take entire control of
the livestock industry.
Before leaving Mr.. Hoover extended
an invitation to the packers. commits
sion men and livestock producers to
meet him in Washington on September
5 and 6. at which time there will be a
general conference. in which the Secre-
tary of Agriculture will participate.
The packers did not meet Mr.. Hoover.
who was in the city but FIVE hours.
They did business with his representa-
tives, NJ L. Requa and Z. c. Lacaster,
OF the United States Livestock Indus
tries Commission, with a luncheon at
the Saddle and Sirloin Club at the
stockyards.
Here is the proposal formulated by
them:
Appoint a big man, experienced in
business, to act as absolute dictator Of
the livestock industry. Let him CO.
operate with an advisory board which
will consist of packing men. livestock
producers and railroad representatives.
Let this dictator work out an equitable
plan Of distribution of livestock sup
plies. Let him dictate the plan we
should follow and we will abide by IT
without question"
In a statement issued tonight Mr..
Hoover denied that there was any foun-
dation for a statement that the food
administration has any intention to hX
prices of beef or pork products.
"The administration hopes to de-
velop, by discussion with representa-
tive committees of the hog producers,
the cattle producers, the commission
men and the packers the statement
says, greater stabilization Of the in
dustry during the war, and in such a
way as 10 encourage production, 10
eliminate speculative profits and risks
so far as may be, and by so doing TO
protect the consumer. These discus
sions will take some time. Action will
be taken only after mature consider

groups concerned"
