Over at the small swimming hole known as "Tourtellottes there are so many in bathing these warm nights that there is hardly room to turn around. However. if there is no chance to swim there Is at least q chance to cool off This seems the ideal spot for a real swimming pool, and it could be made without any great expense. Henry Reach, who owns the property, has generously al- lowed bathers to cross and reeross his land. He at one time proposed to build a swimming pool. but the plan has never been carried out

Invasion of Deferred Classifi-
cations Not in Immediate
Prospect. :,

Washington, July 30.-Invasion OF the
deferred classes is not an immediate
danger, members of the senate and
house committees on military affairs
said today, in spite of the fact that
class one Is being rapidly exhausted.
Glass one as at present constituted.
includes no men Of the last registra-
tion. 1t was pointed out, but only men
who registered on June 5, 1917. Pro-
vost Marshal Gen. Crowder has given
arbitrary orders that at least fifty per
cent. of the 100000 men who became II
during the last year be placed in class
one. 1t is confidently expected that
class one will he increased by nearly
100000 when the new reglstrants arc
classified. ,t..
The new class one men, together with
those of the 1917 registration placed in
class one. should give sufficient men to
meet the requirements of the next two
months at least it was said. Some
members of the military affairs COM
mittce believed there would be enough
to ill all calls until the~.epd OF tho
year, because Of the limited capacity
of the cantonments. Nevertheless Gen.
Crowder has power to order quarterly
registrations Of men becoming 81 and
may set September 5 as a new regis
tration day If men are urgently needed.

RUSSIAN CRUISERS
REPORTED SEIZED
BY Czecho Slovak Forces-Ob-
ject Clouded, Probably
Friendly to Allies.

Washington, July 30.-The Szecho-
Slovak national council mere today an
nounced that they had received infor-
nation that Szecho- Slovaks have sue
ceeded in seizing two Russian cruisers
in the harbor of NovorostoCk some
time last month and that these forces
also were able to inflict considerable
damage on the bolshevik forces there.
According to the officials of the coun-
Gil this information reached them
through Bohemian newspapers which
had received the news from Russian
sources.
1t was assumed at the headquarters
here that this operation was an iso-
lated one and that the forces which
had engaged in II had returned to their
Headquarters. What became of the
cruisers taken, officials here said. they
had not been able to learn. The infor
nation regarding the operations in and
about Novorostock. which Is on the
Black sea. was more or less fragment
ary The exact date of the operations
and their objects were clouded. Off
cials said that it was entirely likely
that this force was endeavoring to find
n way whereby a junction could be
made with the entente allies sympathy
Just as the thousands of Czecho- Slo-
vaks have congreSated at Vladivostock
in the hope that they would be able
to get to France via Canada or the
United States.
The Bohemian accounts stated that
the captured cruisers were utiiizcu to
shell the bolshevik garrison at Novo-
rostock.
Other reports received by the ma
tional council here were that the
Czccho- Slovaks were continuing their
operations in Siberia with success.
Officers of the Czecho- Slovak sorces
which now are at Vladivostok, who
recently arrived IN the United States,
are enroute to Washington to confer
with DIR. T. G. Masaryk, the represent
ntive OF the orga nization here. They
will make suggestions for co operation
between the entente and the Czecho-
Slovaks along lines designed to make,
the Czecho -Slovaks the dominant force
in Russia.
