On Tuesday H. W. Bailey's prem ises on River street were getting so smoky that he was moved to call Captain Stowe over from the engine house to investigate. It was found after some search that a stove in con- nection with the pool room overhead had been so careiessly set up that there was an opening in the pipe, causing the mischief. The affair was not at all serious but might have be- come so.

shopmen, yesterday afternoon fatly rejected the program recommended by President Wilson for the estab- lishment of federal commission to adjust wage disputes and to dictate rates, and served notice on the pres ident and Director General of Rail- roads Hines that unless congress pro- vided the money for a cash settlement of their demands, the railroad sys- tems would be tied up by a strike not later than September 2. MT. Hines told the men that he did not have the money with which to pay. the in crease. The president, according to the railroad representatives, did not definitely state his position.
 The shopmen's representatives, after conferences with President Wilson and Director of Railroads Hines yesterday afternoon, were in d bellicose frame of mind and spoke plainly of their attitude. E. NJ. Jewell, acting president of the rail- way employees department of the American Federation of Labor, who acted as their spokesman, said the temper of the men was such that he did not know whether they could be controlled until the strike vote now being taken was completed.

Even chronic cases of 20 to 30 years standing. with profusc bleeding, have been completely cured
 in from three to ten days.

No discovery of recent years in the field of medicine has caused such stir amongst the medical profession as the recent discovery that piles can be successfully treated and cured at home by a wonderful prescription known to druggists as Miro Pile Remedy.
 It has been proved that so called external remedies applied or inserted into the rectum cannot cure piles and at the best only give temporary re- lief. This is also true of surgical operations which simply remove them after formation, but in no wise act on the source of the trouble.
 This prescription, although taken internally, is not digested in the stomach, but is rapidly passed on un- changed to the intestines in short time. reaching the exact place where bv it's soothing, healing action, it first allays all inflammation and then , hv direct contact with all ulcers and niles. causes them to heal and dis appear forever.

THREE GIRLS ARE
 ARRAIGNED IN COURT
Two Placed on Probation While Third Is Committed to House of
 Good Shepard.

At the morning police court ses- sion Beatrice Josefiak, aged 19 years, and Stella Piorkowski, aged IS years, were put on probation in the custody of their parents, while Anna Gazda, aged IT was, committed to the House of the Good Shepard by Judge Jam es T. Meskill.
 The trio were charged with vio- lating probation and were arrested yesterday by Detective Sergeant Richardson, who caught Beatrice and Stella out motorcycle riding, while Anna was walking the streets. Sev- eral weeks ago the girls were in court for misconduct and were placed on probation. Each was given a se- were reprimand and told to report weekly to Probation Officer Miss Cora Beale. Miss Beale reported this morning that the girls failed to com- ply with the orders that had been given them, and had not been going regularly to the doctors assigned to treat their poor physical condition The girls also stayed out of work at least one afternoon week, Miss Beale stated. Mrs. Piorkowski and Mrs. Josefak, mothers of two of the girls, appeared on behalf of their daughters and asked the judge to be lenient with them, stating that the girls in the future will be well taken care of.

ORGANIZED LABOR
 LAUGHS AT WILSON
R. R. Men Reject Program-
 Wage Increase or Strike

Chicago, Aug. 5.-The strike of federated railroad shopmen which started last Friday continued to spread today and, according to off cials here of the district council di- recting the walkout, a complete tie-up of the railroads of the country will result within a few days unless their demands for higher wages are met at once.
 While the Chicago district is the center of the strike, reports from the northwest, southwest, southeast, Ohio, Indiana, and as far west as Colorado, show that the men continued to join the walkout. In a number of in stances, however. local unions voted to remain at work until the order to strike came from the officials of the grand lodge in the regular way.

would bring the total asked to at least $500, 1000.
 The leaders of the employees frankly state that they do not see how the Railroad administration can meet the emergency unless there is an imme- diate appropriation made by con- gross. Mr. Jewell said that, in his opinion, such an appropriation was the only way in which a strike could be averted, and that the employ eS were beyond the stage where prom iseS would satisfy.

 Control Half Million Men.
 The shopmen claim to control 500,0O0 men in the United States and .0OO in Canada, and their spokes- man, MT. Jewell, said last night that the other unions connerted with rail- way operations, including the four brotherhoods, were in sympathy with their attitude and were definitely lined up against the legislation which President Wilson has recommended to congress.
 Absolutely mo-" he replied, when asked if the legislation would prove satisfactory. We will tie up the railroads so tight that they never will run again if that legislation is passed. We are all opposed to it. That much was agreed to among the 14 branches of organized labor which called upon Mr. Hines today"

american army was four machine guns
per regiment. The present army plans
provide for an equipment of 1856 ma
chlne guns per regiment, or eighty
TOUR times as many. During the war
the Browning automatic rifle and the
Browning machine gun were developed,
put unto quantity production and used
IN large numbers in the final battles
IN france. The Browning machine guns
are believed to be more effective than
the corresponding weapons used in anv

men war was declared the United
States had sufficient, light artillery to
equip, an army of 100000 men, and
shortly found itself confronted with
me problem of preparing to equip
o,o0o,oO0. men. To meet the situation,
1t was decided in June, 1917, to allot
our guns to training purposes and to
equip our forces in France with arti
1ery conforming to the French ana
British standard calibres 1t was ar
ranged that we should purchase fron,
the French and British the artillery
needed for our first divisions and shin
them III return equivalent amounts Of
steel, copper ad other raw materials
so that they could either manufacture
guns for us in their own factories or
give us guns out of their stocks and re-
materials.
Up to the end of April, 1919, tho
number of complete artillery units
produced in American plants was moro
than 5000, or equal to all those pur
chased from the French and British
during the war. The number Of rounds
OF complete artillery ammunition pre-
duced IN American plants was in ex-
cess of 100000, as compared with
100000 rounds secured from the
French and British. In the first TWEEN
ty months after the declaration of war
by each country, the British did bet
ter than we did in the production of
lleht artillery, and we excelled them in
producing heavy artillery and both
llght and heavy ammunition.
Fought With U. S. Powder
SO far as the Allies were concerne1
the European war was, in large meas
ure. fought with American powder and
nigh explosives. At the end of the war
American production of smokeless DOW
der was as per cent greater than the
FRENCH and British production com
blned At the end of the war the Amer
lcan production of high explosives was
40 per cent greater than Great Brit
ans and nearly double that of France
Durlng the war America produced TO-
600 tons of gas. much Of which was
sold to the French and British.
Out of every hundred days that our
combat divisions were in line in France
they were supported by their own ar
tillerv for seventy-five days, by British
ertillery for five days and by French
for. one and half days. Of the re-
naming eighteen and half days that
they were in line without artillery
eighteen days were in quiet sectors.
and only one-half of one day in each
hundred was in active sectors. In
round numbers, we had in Franc
5000 pieces of artillery, of which near
~ 800 were made in America, and we
used on the firing line $3.50 pieces. of
which over 100 were made in America.

States raised twice as many men as
did the Northern States in the Civil
War, but only half as many in proper
ton to the population. In this war
the recruiting cost was one twentieth
of that in the Civil War.
The British sent more men to France
in their first year of war than America
land three years to reach strength
OF 100000 men in France, while the
United States accomplished it in one
half Of that time.
Of every 100 men who served in the
American army ten were National
Guardsmen; thirteen were regulars
and seventY-seven were in the National
Army, or would have been if the serv-
ices had not been consolidated.
In the physical examinations the
States of the Middle West made the
best showing. Country boys did better
than city boys, whites better than
negroes and native born better than
foreign born. In this connection Colo
mel Ayres says:
Country Boys Lead
able that 100000 country boys would
furnish for the military service ALSO
more soldiers than would an equal
number of city boys. Similarly, 1OO,-
900 whites would furnish 1,24O more
soldiers than would an equal number
Of colored. Finally, 100000 native
born would yield $500 more soldiers
than would a like number of foreign
born. The Importance of these differ
ences may be appreciated by noting
that $500 men is equivalent to an in
fantry regiment at full war strength.
Regarding officers, he says:
about 100000 commissioned officers
were required for the army. OF this
number, less than 5000 we're in the
Federal service at the beginning of
the war. Of these, 5,7o1 were regu-
lars and 3,199 were officers Of the Ma
tional Guard in the Federal service.
Diagram 6 shows with approximate ac-
curacy the sources of the commits
stoned strength of the army.
"The figures show that of every six
officers one had had previous military
training in the Regular Army. the Ma
tional Guard, or the ranks. Three re-
ceived the training for their commits
sions in the officers training camps.
The other two went from civilian life
into the army with little or no military
training. In this last group the major
lty were physicians, a few of them
were ministers, and most of the rest
were men OF special business or tech
nical equipment, who were taken into
the supply services or staff corpsp
The average American soldier who
fought in France had six months of
training in the United States, two
months overseas before entering the
line and one month in a quiet sector
Of the front before going into battle.
Most Of the soldiers received their
training in infohtry divisions, which
are the typical American combat units
and consist Of about 1000 officers and
$4,000 men. Fcrty-two divisions in all
we're sent to France. Two-thirds of
the line officers got their training in
the officers training camps in the
United States.
