MILITIA OPENS FIRE.

The machine guns were hardly in
positions before a large gang Of Ne
groes appeared in Central street all
of them armed with rifles and revolv-
ers. The blacks refused to halt and
the troops opened up on them with
rifles and machine guns, Several Ne
groes were killed by the fire and 9th
crs wounded, were seen crawling in
TO alleys.
During the fighting at this point
Lieut.. James w. Payne Of the United
States Army, an instructor assigned
to the National Guard, and Private
Henderson Of the Fourth Regiment
were killed. They were stationed
across the street from one Of the ma
chine guns and are believed to have
been killed by the first burst Of fire
before the gun had been accurately
trained upon the advancing Negroes.
rms was the last fight of any con
siderable proportions, although tho
roting continued throughout the
night and several other Negroes and
whites were killed. Several had been
wounded in the fighting at the jail
between the mob and deputy sherifrs
but they were taken away by their
friends before their identity could be
learned.
Many Of the militiamen were caught
by mobs Of Negroes before they
could use their rifles and we're bad
~ beaten, In many sections Of the
city windows were shot out and doors
battered down by mobs of both
blacks and whites hunting for each
other.
Mrs. Lindsey whose murder caused
the trouble was killed as she was try
ing to leap from a window in her
bedroom after a Negro had entereS
the house and tried to attack her.
Maycs had been arrested several
days previous for proving about q

was placed in line across the street.
Squads Of troops were sent up the

SOLDIERS PLAN FOR
FIGHT BACK HOME
disturbed by Reports Of High Cost Of
Llving-Y. M. C. A. Offers
Help.

Fluctuations Of the political barom-
eter back home" are watched with
interest by the American troops In
France and Germany. according to re-
ports coming from Paris. From men
who have reached America they have
received reports concerning the cost
OF living which have caused wide un-
rest. This has sharpened the soldiers
determination to equip themselves
with increased efficisncy for the re-
turn to Industrial life.
To offset the growing apprehension
the Y. M. G. A. has introduced a new
business system In its program with
the army. Secretaries have been In
structed to take up with the men the
question Of work after the war.
Signs reading, "What are you going
to do when you get back homer" are
prominently displayed In the Red
Triangle huts In Germany. No matter
what profession or what special work
soldier wishes to pursue he will be
able now to develop that bent by en-
rolling at the "Y" hut. There he will
be placed In direct touch with the
people back home who need and can
use his services.
The Y. III. G. A. will give men every
opportunity to study books that con-
tain professional and technical infor-
nation so when they do reach home
they will have obtained a rudimentary
knowledge at least of the enterprise
on which they desire to embark. Com
ment made by the soldiers on condi-
lions Is indicative Of the fact that
they intend to take pronounced in
terest in the affairs of the nation once
they are again on this side Of the At
lantic.

The battalion reached the Vesle

across the river by various units to

There was terrific fighting all along
the line. A platoon of Company D
was hurried over to help in holding
the narrow strip that had been taken
at great cost by the American soldiers.
It was surrounded on three sides by
the bOche, who tried every means in

shells, machine-gun fire and snipers.
1t was a difficult matter to get food
over to them, for men with supplies
bad to cross the river, which was ex-
posed and under heavy fire.

BATTLE BALL." NEW ...

Two Hundred and Fifty Men on n

"Y" Man.

Military officials at the head Of the
Camp Travis athletic council, Camp
Travis, Tex, are much interested In
new game Of mass athletics which is
the invention Of Lu Ringsmuth, an
Army Y. M. G. A. secretary. The game
combines much Of the science Of rugby
football, soccer ball, volley ball and
basket ball, and games have been
played at Camp Travis with as many
as 800 men on side.
Using five ordinary footballs and an
ordinary football field, with goal posts
ut the ends, the game brings into
play "skirmish" line and defense"

on O line at the center Of the field,
and at q given signal the "skirmish.

the ball. 1t is then kept in play by

the aim Of each side being to get all
five balls through the opponents goal
posts or over the goal line. To get the
ball through the goal posts means
score Of four, but to get it over the
goal line means score Of two

tary athletic council of the camp has
become an enthusiastic booster for the
game, and 1t Is likely that the game
will be carried to other places as the
men leave Camp Travis. Organized
teamwork in this, as In other games
which the Z. NJ. G. A. steadily encour
ages, wins out, and this has beer
proved by the progress made by the
Thirty-fifth infantry team, which has
won the championship Of Camp Travis
