Shooting Now At
Targets, Not Men

BISLEY CAMP, Eng, July g.
tBy United Press After four years
Boche-shooting, Britains crack rife
men resumed their annual warfare
against mechanical targets today
when the National Rifle Associations
competition re-opened here. The
famous Bisley meeting is interna-
tional in character and normally at
tracts the wodr's best rifle and re-
volver shots, although most of the
events are monopolized by amy teams.
This year rehabilitation progress
considerably affected the entries,
many eligible rihemen being frankly
fed up" with shooting, and finding
target practice unevciting after the
real thing. Neretheless most Of the
British and Colonial champions were
present when the qualifying rounds
were shot off. Australian, Canadian,
New Zealand, South African, Ceylon
and Malay States teams competed
with the pick of the Mother Country,
there being keen rivalry for the Elcho
Shield, for teams, and the Kings
Prize, for individual rifemen.

Money andLives
Given By The
French Nurses
By HENRY WOOD

| UNITED Press Staff Correspondent. J
PARIS. (By Mail. )-Forty-five
women nurses Of the Union des Fem
mes de France lost their lives either
on the field of battle, in bombarded
hospitals or as the result of diseases
contracted in their work, during the
course of the war, according to the
final report of the society on its en-
tire war activities.
The Union des Femmes de France
corresponds very much to the Ameri-
can Red Cross, except that it's mem
bership is limited entirely to women
and all of the work carried on during
the war was done purely by women,
with no material or manuel help from
men and very little financial help out
side of money raised by the women
members themselves.
The final report of the society is,
therefore, remarkable tribute to the
role played by the French women in
the Red Cross part of the war.
Out of total of 10000 members
(all women) over $4,000 dedicated
their entire time to the various es-
Establishments founded and conducted
by the society during the war. These
included 365 auxiliary hospitals and
scores of nurseries, dispensaries, SOL
diers' homes and canteens, schools for
the re-education of mutilated soldiers
and tuberculosis camps.
Over 10000 members of the society
served as nurses and it was amongst
these that the entire casualty list of
as members was recruited.
The society raised by its own eff
forts and expended some 95, 100000
francs ($19,O0O,OOO), an average of
over 5000 for each member of the
society.

Crop Conditions
In Tennessee

NASHVILLE, July 1O.-Local
rains the last two or three days of
the week visited many parts of the
state and were quite beneficial. Rain
is still needed, however, pretty gen.
erally, and especially in the north
central counties. The week was fav-
orable for cleaning and cultivating
crops harvesting oats and hay, and
threshing wheat. tr.+
Corn is generally weil worked and
much of it laid by. 1t is looking we'll
though late. The first paintings are
tasseling. Considerable wheat was
thfeshed, being mostly in the eastern
counties. Oats are turning out we'll,
but the winter crop is somewhat bet
ter than the spring.
Tobacco is very good in the east
and is improving in the western area,
where it is fair to good.
Irish potatoes are yielding we'll and
sweet potatoes are promising.
Cotto nmade good progress and the
present condition averages fair to
good, but the crop is very late and
the acreage small. The first blooms
are reported.
Glover hay is generally an excel
lent crop, and millet, peas and beans
are doing we'll.

KNOXVILLE, July Whiskey

money under the present market con-
ditions-said to be over 200 gallons
four barrels of beer and barrel of
wine, were taken into custody by fed
eral officers here on Tuesday night,
and Off their alleged connection with

The federal grand jury returned an
Indictment against both men Wednes-
day, and, on being arraigned before
Federal Judge E. T. Sanford, they
entered plea Of not guilty to the
charge of violating the Reed amend
ment on which the Indictment was
brought. Causes of both defendants
were set for hearing July %.
The seizure was maze subsequent
to informatio nreceived by federal
authorities that whiskey was to be
smuggled into the state in a stock car,
containing four thoroughbred horses,
for display at the East Tennessee Di-
vision fair.
Prepared with two John Doe war
rants, F. S. Shipp, special agent, and

Burleson Situation
AS 1t Stands Today

WASHINGTON, July 1O.-United
Press AS the Buileson situation
stands today, it is President Wilson'S
next move. Democratic leaders who
are attaching great Importance to the
postmastel-generals cablegram to
the president, expressing a willing
ness to efface himself from the po-
litical arena by surrendering his cab
met position, are expecting action by
the white house.
Democratic leaders, labor repre-
santatives and others in influential
positions are bringing tremendous
pressure to bear on the president to
induce him to accept BurIeson's own
suggested solution of the troubles re-
sulting from the fire directed at the
postmaster generals office.
In the light of Burleson's state
ment Tuesday denying that he had
resigned, the question has been raised
today as to whether a suggestion of
willingness to resign as an act of self
sacrifice is or is not tantamount to
a resignation.
It is believed that the presidents
decision to accept or decline the rem
edy offered by the postmaster-general
will follow quickly on his conferences
with his political advisers.
