DESERTER KILLED
 WHILE RESISTING
Shot and Instantly Killed at Home in Tennessee by Soldiers From
 Columbia

PikeyilIe, Tenn, July 14.--Thonas Walling, deserter from the national army, was shot and instantly killed this morning by soldiers from Colurn- bia, S. C., who had been sent to his home to carry him back to camp.
 The soldiers arrived at Pikeville yes terday and went at once to the cabin home of Walling, Is miles from Pike vile, accompanied by the sheriff and two deputies. They secreted them- selevs in the woods and kept close watch on the cabin until early this morning when one of the soldiers knocked at the door. Walling an- swered the summons, but hastily barred the door, The soldiers at tempted to batter down the door put were prevented by a warning from the men in the brush, who had seen WaIling jump into deep hole from a trap door.
 When called upon to surrender Waliing lifted his head above the level of the underground hiding place and pointed his automatic at the soldiers who immediately opened fire and the fugitive crumpled up, having been killed instantly. The pistol cooked and ready to fire, was picked up and carried away by the soldiers.

CRAFTY SINN FE|NERS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FUNERALS ID MARCH
Public Meetings Are Banned and Gathering to Honor Dead Only Chance to
 Congregate

Dublin, June 10.--(Correspondence of the Associated Press .)--Now that all process sions and outdoor meetings have been banned in Dublin the Sim Feiners have taken to parades at funerals, to which 1t is obviously difficult and undesirable to apply the prohibition.
 Sunday is a great day for funerals in all parts of Ireland, and scores of long and picturesque funeral processions may be seen every Sabbath making their way through the Dublin streets, some of them consisting of 50 or more vehicles of all kinds, but principally jaunting cars, each containing five or six friends of the de- ceased.
 A great display was made by the Sim Feiners at the funeral of James Francis Cullen, a young man who took part in the 1916 rebellion.
 Cullen was sentenced by court-rnartial to 10 years penal servitude. subsequent ly commuted to five years, for an active if minor part in the rebellion. He died from natural causes. His funeral pro- cesson included nearly 1000 members of the Sim rein volunteers. who followed him to his grave in the Fenian circle in Glasnevin.
 The procession through the streets drew large crowds of sympathizers. It was wisely ignored by the military and the police The Sim Fein paraders, with equal wisdom, refrained from pressing any direct challenge. such as marked the funeral of Thomas Ashe last year, when a firing party. following military usage, carried reversed rifles.
 In Cullen's funeral procession no arms were seen and it was not until the rites had been completed at the graveside that small party produced revolyers and fired a military salute. The crowd dispersed quietly. and an event which had given rise to some apprehension passed off with orderliness.

Georgians Celebrate

Atlanta, July 14.-Frances day of in- dependence was celebrated throughout the south today with patriotic parades and mass meetings and everywhere the tricolor was to be seen flying beside the Stars and Stripes. Patriotic ad- dresses were delivered and resolutions adopted expressing the sentiment of Americas millions for France. French officers assigned to southern army training camps were given places of honor. while members of French colo nies participated ill parades arranged for the occasion.
 The day in Atlanta was celebrated by a parade through the downtown streets led by Miss Mary Cohen, repre- eenting Joan of Arc. Next came the French officers stationed at Camp Cor don, followed by members of the French colony, Governor Dorsey and stayy and bodies representing the allied nations There also were in the line groups rep- resenting practically every branch of war work.
 A feature of the procession was huge tricolor carried by enlisted men repre- senting the United States army. navy and marines.

Half dozen or more French officers acting as instructors at Camp Gordon were on the stage. The French and American national airs were played and an address was delivered by one French officer, who declared "France and America are united forever.
 Lieutenant Percedoult, of the Frencn army. member of the French high com mission in the United States, was the principal speaker at mass meeting in Savannah. A resolution of congrat- uIation to France was adopted by the meeting.

RECENT DEATHS
 AMONG LEADERS
By HOLLAND

New York, July H.-(Special)-It is something of a tragic coincident that Jobn W Sterling, who was named by James Stillnan as one of tho executors of the ,arge estate left by Mir. stiliman and, furthermore, that MT. Stillman him. self, whc was named by James Gordon Bennett as one of the executors or trus- tees of Mir. Rennett's estate, should have died within a few months of each other. Mir. Sterling could not have progressed very far in his duties as one of the ex- ecutors cf NIT. Stillman's will. On the other hand, Mir. Stillrnan died shortly be- fore James Gordon Bennett passed away. and there appears not to have been op- portunity for MT. Bennett to name an- other as one of the trustees under the Bennett will.
 It sometimes happens so. Russell Sage was inspired by personal affection for and by high estimate of the abilities of Alrnon Goodwin, for the relation be- tween the lawyer and the eccentric man of large capital was intimate for many years To Mir. Goodwin Russell Sage en-

TOBACCO

Washington. July 14.-Government con trol of the tobacco industry of the Unit ed States may result from the heavy requirements of the allies and the Amer icar military forces abroad. Rationing of the American population is believed to be a possibility
 The war industries board announced today it has been conducting an inves- tigation to determine the requiremep. B abroad and the amount that must be conserved in this country to meet the situation. It estimates that approxi- mately two-thirds of the leaf tobacco
 raised in this country in 1917 will be available for American manufacturers. Out of this must come cigarette and pipe tobacco for troops not vet overseas addition to cigarettes and tobacco pur- chased here for Belgium
 The crop in 1917 was l,196. .ooo.oOo pounds, and of this the board estimated S50,UD0, ,UO0 pounds will be available this year for United States manufacturers, while 346,- 0o0,0o0 pounds of leaf will be available for export to the allies.
 Tobacco issued to the military forces of England, France and Italy amounts to approximately 159,0oo,Oco pounds q year, the board said England and France each allot 70 per cent of their entire consumption to the army and navy, while Italy allows her military forces 45 per cent. The total yearly con- sumption of the entire population of these countries the board estimates at S37, GOO 900 pounds, or 100000 more than this country is able to export.
 Persons who pointed to possible gov ernment control in order to assure to- bacco for the allies and American forces. declared it is more than probable that with the allied armies consuming be- tween 40 and 45 per cent of the total con sun pton in allied countries, American forces would use more than 50 per cent of the total amount used in the United States.
 The war industries board quotes the annual per capita consumption of the nited States and the allies as follows:
 Italy, two pounds; France, three and a half pounds; Great Britain, four pounds, and the United States seven and a half pounds.
 England France and Italy are now chiefly dependent on imports from, the United States. as their imports from other tobacco growing countries have been materially reduced through lack of shipping and inability to import from Turkey and Bulgaria
