rapidly increasing production has
strained the capacity OF the manu-
facturers OF raw materials TO such an
extent that there has been serious
difficulty In securing sufficient
gauze and other materials used In
making dressings.
Our department OF supplies In
working In close cooperation with
the government TO see that regular
quantities OF these materials are
secured for Red Cross work. All
necessary orders have been placed

 July Fourth
English Minister Says it Ought to Become a Re
 ligious Celebration.

London, June 29.-The fourth of July celebration in England this year may become the neuclus of something even more wide reaching that mere demonstration of Anglo-American friendship. Rev. Joseph Fort Newton, famous preacher of the London City Temple, thinks that it ought to be- come great annual religious con- memoration in which all the entente peoples of all faith, Protestants, Catholics, Angelicans, Calvinists, Lutherans and Jews could join.
 "We wish," he says, Ito strike a great prophetic religious note, the moreso because our people are so re- sponsive in religious appeal and doub- ly so now that they going down with their allies in the valley of sorrow and the American mother is feeling today what her English sisters felt threeand a half years ago."

Memphis, June 29.-Robert L. Tenn ple, travelling salesman of Chicago, was shot and killed here late today within an hour of the time set for his marriage to Miss Lena Graham, of Meridian, Miss, by J. R. Graham, father of the young woman.
 Graham, railway conductor, sur rendered after the shooting and, ac- gcording to the police, claimed he wa forced to kill Temple in self-defense. The young woman was standing with in short distance of the men and one of her fingers was shattered by stray bullet.
 According 10 the police Graham de :clared that Temple just before the ceremony was to have taken place admitted that he previously had been married and that his wife was still living, from whom he had not been divorced.
 Held Blameless.
 A coroner's jury after an inquest to- night returned a verdict of justifiable homicide. It was stated that Gra- ham probably would be released on bond tomorrow
 Graham and his wife came to Mem phis today from Meridian ond con- ference was arranged between the young woman, her parents and Tenn pie, at which it was stated plans for an immediate marriage were made. A license was secured and a minis ter summoned when Temples alleged disclosures brought the ceremony to an abrupt end.
 Efforts were being made tonight to locate Mary H. Temple, said to have been named as the beneficiary in an insurance policy which Temple car ried.
 Temple was apparently about 40 years old and Graham only few years older The latter is an employe of the Mobile and Ohio railroad.

Exodus of Negroes from Train When U. s. Dep
 utv Marshal Embarks

United States Deputy Marshal A. H. Reed and several fellow officers boarded a north-bound Missouri Pa cific train coming into Pine Bluff yesterday evening and simultaneously half a dozen or more negroes left the car, via windows.
 The marshal and his men found six suit cases, believed to contain whis- key, and three packages of the same contraband. No one on board would claim ownership, so the federal off cer had the whiskey removed to the police station and will convey it to Little Rock, to be used as evidence should those who imported it into the state be arrested.
 The marshal evidently had receiv' ed "tip" that the train was coming .'loaded," but the "smugglers" were on guard, and readily abandoned their contraband rather than face Federal Judge Jacob Trieber.

The campaign to obtain in Pine Bluff thrift pledges and subscriptions for War Savings stamps is not pro- ducing the results hoped for by local leaders in the work nor the results expected of Pine Bluff by the national government. Tho reports are far from complete, the pledges already tabul- ated indicate that the amount expect ed will not be obtained. Small sub- scriptions where large ones were ex- pected explain the shortcoming.
 Employe sof the Cotton Belt have subscribed more than half of the en- tire amount of stamps signed for in the First ward, J. w. Blackburn re- porting pledges fer $5,76O, while the total for the ward is $9,405. Pied ges Friday in this ward aggregated $6,135, according to reports made to r. T. Pickney, secrTtary of. the ward organization, while reports up to last night to~J. Frank Franey, chairman for the ward, covering Saturday. work. totalled $3,27O. Included in these was one subscription of $1,O00 by c. F. Barnes, a Cotton Belt con ductor, which increases by that amount the sum pledged by the Cot ton Belt men.
 In the Second ward 445 subscrip- tions total $21,588.25, about one sixth the amount expected. Some cards are yet to be reported upon in this ward, but apprehension was ex- pressed that they would not bring the total to anything like the amount il should be-"

Washington, June 49.-- ticns for extending ecohomiC T
 tance to Russia went ahead tou : disturbed by reports that the c mans contemplated military nterven@ tion in that country. Officials declin- ed to comment on the latest report of developments in Russia and it was apparent they thought there would be no change in this governments plans.
 The extent to which Germany may be able to exert military force on Russia will depend as much on events on the western front as on Teutonie willingness to assume further control in the east. Inasmuch as they have done their worst so far unhampered by their peace treaties, there is no in clination here to look for any decided change in the attitude cf Germany.
 Talk of American military inter- vention in Russia is not welcome in official circles. In preparation for any possible contingency q survey of the situation has been made so that the United States may not be taken unawares. The question of tonnage is believed to have been settled. Suf- ficient ships in the Pacific trade could be mobilized along with transports new being built there to take care of any initial expedition.

 BIG ARMY BILL WITHOUT PROTEST Emphasizes Sentiment for Enlarging Army Be
 yond 5,000,000 Men MEASURE MAY BE
 ENACTED MONDAY Upper House Approves COngression. al Clause Giving President .Un. limited Authority in Increasing
 the Military.

Washington, June 29.-In passing the 2,Oo0,000,000 army appropria- tion bill today the senate emphasized sentiment for enlarging the army be- yond the 3,O00,000 men provided in the measure but declined specifically to direct the president to raise an army of 5,000,000.
 Without roll call or dissenting voice the large supply measure was sent to conference with view to its enactment next Monday when the ap, propriations are needed.
 None of the appropriation for the army's part in the war for the fiscal year beginning July 1, was reduced by the senate. Instead it increased many items approved without chang ino the house clause giving the presi- dent unlimited authority to increase the army by further draft calls and added scores of important legislative riders.
