RAIDINC IN MAHSuD COUNTRY
IS REGULAR ACTIVE VOCATION

| PESHAWAR, India. Sept. 1.-THE
efforts of police and military forces
| have not yet effected any perceptible
| decrease in the number of armed
raids in the northwestern frontier
| districts, which occurred With .unus-
! ual frequency during the past few
months.
/ "A late report tells of a bullet
battle between a party of police and
a raiding gang in the Bannu district.
The police, only eight in number.
formed a detachment of larger
party which was searching in the
Maidanei range of hills for outlaws
known to be hiding there. This de-
! tached party was ambushed in a
defile by the raiding gang and had
two of its number killed and its
leader severely wounded almost at
the first yolley
/ The remaining constables opened
! fire on their attackers at once, al
| though without cover of any sort
Later they withdrew, one by one, to
some water holes about 100 yards
away, which afforded partial cover
From this position they kept their
| opponents at bay for three hours

called training, have not yet been
able to overawe the raiders or to

ment sent warning last Saturday
to the Irish provisional government,
declaring that if the latter govern
ment's authority to restore order

not contain time limit and can
not be described as an ultimatum.

l8 Long Cut by Pellets
Wheat Stripped
From Straw.

Fremont, Neb., June 27.-Dodge
county and surrounding territory is
recovering today from terrific hail
and windstorm that struck the vi
cinity Monday evening.
Crops and lines of communication
were damaged by barrage of hail
that cut a swath about two miles
wide and about l8 miles long.

river into Saunders county. Scores
OF wheat fields were totally de-
stroyed. while others suffered from
rs to 90 per cent damage.
Fields Appear Leveled.
In some sections the fields appear
as if leveled by a steamroller and
the wheat stripped from the straw
as effectively as threshing machine
could do it.
Forty-tyee telephone poles be-
tween Fremont and North Bend, a
distance of IS miles, are reported
down.
Two Union Pacific trains were
held up during the storm by poles
that had fallen across the tracks.
The Northwestern road reports l8
poles down between Fremont and
Ames, distance of six miles. Tele-
phone companies report poles de-
stroyed on toll lines to Columbus
and Norfolk.
Hail Is Foot Deep.
Mrs. John Mentkin, residing on a
farm in Maple township, reported
hail foot deep Immediately after the
storm. Crops in that vicinity are
practically total loss.
In Fremont many roofs were
torn away and telephone poles sent
crashing to the ground. Two hogs,
belonging to a farmer near Ames,
were killed by live wires that had
been torn down during the storm.

Frisco Deeply Moved by
Wounded Vets March

San Francisco, June 27.-A shat
tered fragment of the casualty list
from the horizon-long battlefield of
France passed in review today before
a San Francisco that was at once
deeply enthusiastic and deeply SYM
pathetic. 1t was the annual parade
of the Disabled American Veterans
of the World War, who are meeting
in convention here to suggest to the
administrators of their country how
they can best be helped.
The first sections of the parade
were made up of police, regular army
and blucjacket and marine con-
tingents from the battleships of the
Pacific fleet, now in the harbor.
Judge Robert S. Marx of Cincinnati,
national commander of the organiza-
ton was right up in front" in an
automobile, and was Justify cheered
all along the line Of March. Governor
Stephens of California also was given
an ovation.
The disabled filed by state by state.
Many limped, some used canes to aid
hating steps, others were on
crutches. There were many who
could not walk at all, and they were
taken along in automobiles. But
those that did walk, not only had out
thrust chests but kept up with the pa
rade, responding to the cheering wall
of old enthusiasm. MANY were in
uniform, the same old battle Scared

Shoals
Appropriation
Sent to Harding
Senate Approves $7,5OO,OOO
Budget for New Work With
out Change From
House Bill.

Washington. June 27. - Pres
ident Harding's signature was all that
was required tonight for authorizing
the appropriation of $7,500000 for
new work on the Muscle Shoals dam
at Muscle Shoals, Ala. The army bill
containing authority of congress to
spend the money on that project, ef-
fective October |, next, was passed
by the senate without a change in the
language already approved by the
house and by conferees of the two
legislative bodies.
During final senate consideration
however, the measure at certain
stages, was threatened with being
sent back to the house for further
conference, Senator Norris of Ne
braska. chairman of the agriculture
committee, moving that the senate
disagree with the house provision
delaying expenditure of the money
until October. He was finally over
ruled by the senate on a vote of %
to 81.
The Nebraska senator led the at
tack on the house amendment and
was joined by Senator Wadsworth
of New York, chairman of the mill
tary committee in charge of the bill,
and by Senator Underwood of Ala
bama, the democratic leader, in de-
claring the house action "unfor-
tunate." The latter two senators,
however. differed with Senator Nor
ris ON his motion to disagree, de-
rlaring that if it prevailed the bill
would be returned to the house and
the appropriation probably would be
jeopardized in that procedure.
Senator Underwood recalled past
occurrences where differences be-
tween the senate and house had re-
suited disastrously to Muscle Shoals
appropriations and reminded his COL
leagues that the army bill had to be
on the staute books by July l.
The first executive meeting of the
agriculture committee since it con-
cluded its examination of the pro-
posal from Henry Ford, the Alabama
Power company. Frederick Eng
strum and Charles L. Parsons for
developing the shoals properties also
was held TODAY.

Coal Shortage in Iowa

Washington. June 27.-lndiea,ions
were given at the White House today
that the government soon would be
able 10 make IN announcement IN
the coal strike situation and that the
step contemplated was a move TO
bring the leaders OF the union min
crs and representative operators to-
gether for a discussion OF wage dif-
icrcnccs.
Realizing that the deadlock exist
ing between mine operators and
UNION mine workers will not be VOL
unfairly abated by either party to
the coal strike, the administration
was prepared today, responsible Off
c;als intimated, TO offer a compro-
misc plan for negotiating the differ
cnccs which, it was believed, could
not be rejected by either party to
the strike.
The coal situation in all its rami-
fcations was understood to be one
OF the chief topics up for consider
alton by President Harding at to-
days cabinet meeting. Just what
form the move by the government
will take no official was prepared to
state, though it was understood that
some government officials, after con-
icrring with John L. Lewis. presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers
union, were of the opinion that no
break whatever could be expected
in the ranks of union labor and that
a move was necessary to bring
operators into conference at once.
Shortage in Iowa.
Des Moines, Ia, June 27.-(By A.
P)-Public utilities and industries in
Iowa have sufficient coal on hand to
operate from three to six weeks, it is
indicated by reports received here.

is reported to be sufficient supply on
hand in the open markets to keep
them in operation until at least Au-
gust |.
The supply of coal on hand for
domestic use is reported to be the
lowest in years.
Purchases of coal made during the
last few weeks are said to have been
at ST to 81 ton above the level OF
April 1.
Domestic Supply Exhausted.
Keokuk, Ia, June 27.-iocal coal
dealers report no domestic coal on
hand. Public utilities and industries
