ris. all white, were Sloghtly injured.
Cause of Trouble.
The trouble started shortly after 9
o'clock when the negro troopers,
massed before Il negro picture the
atre refused to permit whit ccitizcn
tC pass. Police reserves cleared the
street and the disorder subsidized.
About two hours later hostilities
broke out again when a group of II
negro soldiers left their camp for
town.
EniSting the aid of provost
guard of the negro troops, Night Cap,
tain James encountered the rebellious
soldiers before an alley on North Sec
ond street. A volley was fired into
the group by the police and members
of the provost guard with the injury
of Jones, one of the recalcitrants, the
invaders fled at the first shots The

military and were joined shortly af-
terwards by Captain Higginson and
Lieutenant Cromley, officers of the

SAVE YOUR TINFOIL.

Mrs. C. E. Storm, chairman of the
ways and means committee of Red

ages of tinfoil from interested friends
and good many people have notified
her of their willingness to help in this
collection and from various parts of
the county they are saving tinfoil.
Miss Lille Mae Gregory has do
mated some beautiful crocheted lace
which will be sold for the Red Cross
work and several other contributions
have been made for this work.
Mrs. Storm wishes to ask that you
save everything you can for the rum
mage sale and sent it to the Edisonia
theatre or The Times office.
Don't forget that chickens, eggs,
fruit, vegetables, lace, tatting, hem
stitching, embroidery, crocheting and
anything of that nature can readily
be turned into money and the chapter
needs the money to buy material. The
demand for hospital supplies is very
great and the time is short for us to
work. Help the Red Cross and down
the Iron Cross" should be the slogan

VERY FEW TO BE EXEMPTED.
Civil Service Men Not Excused From
Draft.

Washington, July 28.-Very few
employees of the civil branches of the
government will be exempt from the
draft, according to an official ruling
published today by Provost Marshal
Gen. Crowder.
At the White House, Secretary Tu
multy is the only employee named as
exempt. He was over the rcgistra-
tion age anyway, but all other en-
ployes of military age are liable for
service. The line has been drawn as
closely in all other depar' lents. In
all the executive departments none but
the executive heads are exempted by
the ruling. Clerks, stenograhpers and
many others who expected to be eX-
empt because of their government SER
vice will be disappointed

GODMOTHERS FOR ORPHAN
SOLDIERS OF UNITED STATES

Washington, July 2S.--Introducing
Americas first two volunteer war god
mothers for our Sammies in France:
Mrs. A. N. Schwctzer, 1852 Third
street, Milwaukee, Wis, and Mrs
Bessie b. Mendenhall, 2911 Avenue G.,
Birmingham, Ala.
They're the first to offer to write
to the 'lonely boys in khaki" who
stand aside "when the mail is handed
out way over there where the guns
are never STILL"
The two first god-mother volunteers
names will be given to Adjt. Gen. Nc
Cain. Before long they may receive
the names of their new god-sons
among Americas Sammies at the
front in France.
Others Hoped For.
Army folk here hope Mrs. Schweit-
ger and Mrs. Mendenhall are only the
advance guard of an army of big
hearted American mothers who will
volunteer to write their Sammie god
sons letters.
Therell be hundreds of these army
orphans in cantonment camps in
America this fall and the leaders of
training camp activities is interest
ed IN the godmothcr idea too.
The Y. NJ. c. A. and the Knights
of Columbus. both of which will have
big buildings at each cantonment
camp, may be offered the handling
of the draft SammicS yod-mothers.
The plan would be for any lonely
Sammy to give his name and address
TO The proper authority at the camp.
A volunteer god-mothcr would be
notified and "adopt" that Sammy.
Both of the first volunteer god
mothers have boys of their own, but
they're ready to take on some more
sons" for Uncle Sam.
Il would like to be god-mothcr to
one Of those lonely boys" wrote Mrs.
SchweitZer today.
Sons Too Young.
My two boys, 10 and II, would be
in the army if they were old enough.
But as they are too young they think
and so do |, that the next best thing
would be to adopt a brother sammy"
81 would be so glad to write to some
American boy in France without a
mother" wrote Mrs. Mendenhall.
81 have four of my own, but / love
all boys. And certainly would ap-
prcciatc having some good woman
write to my boys if they were away
from home and motherless."

PEACE TALK WILL NOT
GO IN THIS COUNTRY

Washington, July 30.-Germany's
proposals of peace will be considered
by the allies when the Teutonic war
machine has been driven to the wall,
and no sooner.
This, in brief, is what the State De-
partment today thinks of the three
German peace incidents that have
come to the front within the last 48
hours.
Chancellor Michaelis' utterances
that "the war will end sooner or later
in peace by understandings; Foreign
Minister CZernin's declaration that
Austria is fighting with Germany be-
cause she is forced to do so by Ger
many'S enemies, and Matthias Err
berg's appearance in Zurich as a
peace negotiator, are regarded by of
fetal Washington as propaganda.
To Weaken.
Germany hopes to weaken her enc
mics by stirring up peace sentiment in
various other countries, the State De-
partment believes. The direct effect
of such a policy has been seen already
in the United States. The American
Union Against Militarism yesterday
asked Senator Stone to introduce a
resolution in the senate declaring
Americas peace terms. Today the
same organization appeared at the
State Department asking that their
position be transmitted to the reich
stag.
II can think of no place less likely
to communicate with the rechstag
than the United States State Depart
ment," said high official, after the
demand had been received. at will not
be forwarded"
Allied diplomats see an attempt on
the part of Germany to cover up
weakness of her principal ally, Aus
tria.
In Harmony.
Another view is that Germany also
hoped to impress upon the Russians,
on the eve of calling their constitu-
tional convention, the thought that
Germany and her allies are in har-
mony with the Russian pronouncement
Of peace without annexatiOns."
