The machine guns of the division

The 18th machine gun battalion
(Diy. M. G. Bn) was assigned to the
117th infantry. One company was as
signed to the company of the 117th
infantry designated to the special
mission of cleaning up the triangle

This battalion was Of great assistance

grouped under the divisional machine

livered two bands of fire, the first on
the Hindenburg line and the part on
the tunnel. After they had completed
the barrage work, these battalions
were, assembled and came into divi-

efficiently done under difficult condi-

They were returned to their brigades

FLIGHT HAS BAD BEGINNING.
Initial Attempt to Cross Atlantic
Ends in Grief.

London, April 19.-The first
attempt at a transatlantic aerial
fight westward came to grief
Friday night in its first stage. Major
]. C. P. Wood and Capt. c. c. Wylie,
his navigator, had almost reached
the Irish coast off Holyhead in a
fight from East Church for Linz
erick. when engine trouble brought
the Shamrock, nose foremost, into
the sea, three miles from Holyhead.
Both men were rescued, while Lam
caster Parker, flying in an escorting
machine, had a narrow escape on
landing, his plane smashing against
a shore wall.
A destroyer towed the Shamrock
nearly ashore, according TO the COM
mander, who was then compelled to
abandon her, and she was washed on
to the beach.
Both officers are more concerned
about their machines than them
Selves" said the destroyer's COM
mander, but it was impossible for
me to bring the biplane into the har-
bor."
Mechanicians were on their way
from East Church to put the finish
ing touches to the Shamrock before
the aviators ventured over the At
lantic and were stopped at Holyhead.
The Short company, in whose ma
chine Major Wood was flying, hopes
to obtain quick reports from the
mechanicians on the condition Of. the
plane
There are conflicting stories re-
garding the circumstances Of the res
cue. Some messages say that de-
stroyer took off Major Wood and
Captain Wylie, while others credit
the rescue to two men who put out
in rowboat.
The air ministry's night bulletin
says that the weather conditions
along the Atlantic course are decid-
edly favorable at present for flight
from west to east The surface winds
are much lighter now over the whole
route. They are accompanied by
fog, and perhaps rain or snow, but
it is declared, if it is possible to leave
the airdrome, conditions are excep-
tionally favorable for flight and for
alighting in this country. The sea
disturbance is not sufficient to make
forced landing dangerous, except
near longitude 20 degrees.

HIGH COST OF LIVING
Assertion is Made That Farmers Also
Are Victims

To what extent the American farm
er is sprofheering at the expense Of
the loDgsuffe consumer; to what
extent this producer is responsible
for prevailing economic conditions,
and to what extent the Government
may safely legislate against his in
terests are questions which will press
for an answer before the cost Of liv-
ing problem is finally worked out.
All this has been anticipated, if not
by the Individual farmer himself, at
least by those Senators who repre-
I sent him in Washington. And in their
soGcitude for the welfare of thelgreat
body of agriculburiJts, they have unit
in warning to Congress to the
President and to all others concerned
against any movement that will ham
string the farmer or reduce his earn
ings below the present margins.
This warning was forthcoming yes
terday in the form Of a rather extend
ed statement, signed by score or
more of Senators, called into confer
ence by the Committee on Agriculture
of the Senate. These legislators, fear
full lest the present agitation work
against the very source Of all food
supplies in the country are fearful
lest the reaction tend to cut down the
volume of foodstuffs produced, have
volunteered the assurance that the
farmer is not getting more than is
coming to him and in some Instance
is getting far less than he is entitled
to.

Stephen B. Canady Of Hillsboro.
Certified copies of the amendment
were presented to both houses yester-
day, with it a special message by Gov
ernor Lowden urging ratification.
Postponement of a vote until today
was due TO lack of a quorum.
The unanimous vote today empha-
sized the complete breakdown of the
opposition that fought the full fran
chise in Illinois for many years.

as a unit for ratification on the ad-
vice of Representative Thomas Cur
rem, who, as head of the anti-prohibi-
ton forces, fought the women to a
standstilI in repeated legislative

feet July 1, was adopted today by the
reconstruction convention Of the

ter fight was waged on the proposal
by dry elements, especially delegates
from Seattle, who based their argu-
ments on the benefits they said their
city had found through prohibition,
but it was carried by an overwhelming
vote of 26,475 to 4,OO5. The voting is
proportional to the membership of the
unions represented.

STORM DAMAGE IN OKLAHOMA
Two Million Dollar Loss to Crops
Caused by cIoudburst Between
Tulsa and Muskosee.

Tulsa, Ok, June 7.-Growing crops,
including wheat ready for the harvest,
were damaged to the extent OF 2 million
dollars, it is estimated, in a storm that
swept the district between this city
and Muskogee early last night In ad
dition, nearly two score persons were
injured when houses were blown down
or unroofed, but there were no deaths,
as far as could be ascertained.
The storm, which amounted to a
cloudburst, swept over a belt in East
ern Oklahoma twenty miles wide. The
total rainfall here was estimated at 511A
inches.
Two houses were washed away here
and lives are reported to have been
lost. 1t was impossible to verify the
reports of drownings, as it was impos-
sible to reach the flooded districts.
The southeast part of the city was
under water and many residences were
flooded.
Besides the damage to grain crops,
many fruit trees were stripped Of
young fruit by the heavy rain. Traf-
fic of all kinds was brought to a stand
still temporarily and, when resumed,
railroads and interurban lines oper-
ated in a wary manner to avoid &C
cidents.
Nearly all small streams near here
are out of their banks and further dam
age is feared as a result.
Three or four small towns were in
the direct path of the storm. Late last
night reports as to the damage were
only fragmentary and await 4 more
complete restoration of wire service.
The storm lasted two hours and was
one of the worst in the history of East
ern Oklahoma.
Lawton, Ok, June IA heavy rain,
accompanied by hail, fell in this vi
cinity last night. The wheat harvest
is on and the indications are that a
great amount of damage has been
done.

WHOLESALE BEEF CHEAPER
The Packers Reduce Prices of Loins
to Cents and Ribs 2 to
Cents Pound.

Kansas City, June 10.-Another sub
stantia1 reduction in the wholesale
prices of the better cuts of fresh beef
was announced by the packing houses
today. The Swift & Co. circular
quotes declines of to cents
pound on beef loins and to cents
on beef ribs. Chucks and rounds are
quoted down only u to L cent.
Since early in May prices of loins
have been reduced AZ to 8 cents a
pound and of ribs to cents. De-
ciines have been much less on the
cheaper cuts.
Lack of export demand and dimin-
ished buying for the United States
army are said to be the chief reasons
for the lower prices. Cattle are sell
ing 81 to SO hundred pounds cheaper
than month ago and a large advance
in hides has been an additional factor
in reducing wholesale prices Of fresh
meat

REINOICTS Sc. KANSAS |. W. W
Federal Grand Jury at Wichita, Kas..
Charges Men With Plotting
Against the Government.

Kansas City, June 9.-The legal bat
tie between the United States govern
ment and the l. W. W. has been
brought to showdown in Kansas.
For the first time in all of the gov
ernment's long and indecisive fight to
put down Bolshevism in America, the
/ W. w, as an organization is to go
to trial
Heretofore the governments cases
have been directed against members,
charging individual acts, and involving
only indirectly the organization as a
whole.
Perhaps the most drastic and far
reaching federal indictments ever
drawn were those returned on Satur-
day in Wichita by a special federal
grand jury, summoned hurriedly by
Fred Robertson, United States district
attorney for Kansas, after the indict-
ments drawn by previous grand jury
were quashed by Judge John c. Pollock
on a technical legal point involved.
This grand jury went the limit. Al
ter returning indictments against thir-
ty-one individual members of the /.
W. W., the entire organization was in
dicted in one lump, and will be tried
exactly as the Standard Oil Company
and other big corporations, or bodies,
are forced into court.
The procedure of the Wichita grand
jury will, according to Mr.. Robertson,
make possible a judicial determine
ton of the L w W. as an organization.
The members and the organization
are charged with conspiracy to over
throw the United States government.
Evidence to show the "wobblies" at
tempted to foment a revolution, indus
| trially and socially, has been in the
hands of the authorities for months.
Loopholes discovered in technical
flaws of previous trials have saved the
I. W. WIS from going to trial.
In the indictments drawn on Satur-
/ day, the members and the organization
/ are branded as outlaws. If they can
/ disprove the charge the I. ". w will
! live. If they cannot, then the way
has been opened for the destruction of
all the big anarchistic societies in the
country, it is said.
