Washington, July 14.—Sixteen suf- fragists of the woman's party, at-| tempting to stage a picketi pment Stration at the White House gates} today in celebration of the anniver- sary of the fall of the Bastile, were! promptly arrested and taken to jail.| Each of the women gave $25 bail! at the police station to appear Mon-| ing traffic. There virtually was no disorder, the crowd of about a thousand peo- ple gathered for the widely adver-| tised show contenting itself with hooting and jeering as the police es- | corted the women away. The women approached the White House gates in three groups, one heading for the east gate, another for the west gate and the-third arriving | too late at the east gate to replace | the members of the first section when they were arrested. In each! instance the police endeavored to} persuade the marchers to “move on” before making arrests. | Bear Bumped by Auto; Both.Try to Get Away. Redding, Cal., July 14.— ‘Beware, of bears!” is a sign that seems ap- | propriate for the State highway in the neighborhood of Sims. As Rob-} ert O'Donnell, secretary of the; Northern California Counties Asso- ciation, and C. Fred Smith, secretary | of the Chasta County Development Association, were autoing along south of Sims a big cinnamon bear jumped down from a bump above them and lit squarely in the road in front of them. The automobile bumped the bear off the highway. The autoists sped on as the bear rolled down the mountain side toward the river, All alike were frightenetl. ARMY REJECTS JIM JEFFRIES. The Ex-Champion Tried to Enlist in the Coast Artilery. San Francisco, July 13—James J.

Hand.” Once more Mr. Gompers, head of the American Federation of Labor, has been heard from. ‘This time he has served notice that either food prices must “come down) or that Unionism will start on the war path with a series of strikes. Just how food prices are to be reduced—wheth- er-at the hands of the farmer who i receiving little more than pdodiction cost for the products of his: sweat and toil—or whether the “food hogs” are to be kicked away from the trough—these refinements are appar- ently of little concern to Mr. Gomp- tes who brandishes aloft the all pow- erful club of “the strike” which has so effectively served him on many other similar occasions. That the laboring man has a kick coming we, do not deny—but why not predicate that kick upon intelligent premises? Why not put the blame where it be- longs? Likewise, the packers, the cod) bar- ons, the steel and copper kings, the financiers, the lumber barons and what, not, have all along since se- lected their Special Committee to co- operate with the Government—while the farmer alone is oblivious to ev- erything but the growing of , great crops which they havé told him are of such tremendous importance and which, with sweat streaming down his face and short of help and equip- ment, he is making a herculean effort to deliver. And as he fights on in the fields the clouds in the sky rather than the distant dome of the Nation- al Capitol rivet his gaze—for, unor- ganized, he knows he must trust to the balance of the Universe for some semblance of a “square deal.” And while his uncomplaining loyalty stands out like a mountain peak in these times of universal selfishness, after all, is it wise? Does he not owe it to himself and to the other seven million farmers like him in the Unit- ed States to organize and so stand shoulder to shoulder with his fellows that the welfare of Ameriacn Agricul- ture will no longer depend upon the generosity of those who “get their’s fi Missouri Farmer. Eastland disaster, Red Cross? That annual dues, and You know what the RED CROSS is. You are familiar with some of its achieve” ments—with the arganized helpfulness, hero- ism and self-sacrifice of its men and women amid the horrors of war, devastating plagues and epidemics; and in great calamities, such as the San Francisco fire, Ohio Valley floods, the cyclones at Newcastle, New Albany, Mattoon and Charlestown, and other catastrophes. Do you know that as an American you have the right to become a member of the by the payment of small a little unselfish: service, you can support your government in its hu- manitarian work? Your circumstance$ may not permit you to engage in field work—few members can— but you can help; your family and your friends can help by becoming members of the Society and by actively supporting your local Red Cross Chapter.

The American Red Cross is chartered by Congress... It is the only volunteer agency for relief commissioned by the Government in case of War or overwhelming disaster. The President of the United States is Pres- ident of the Society. The Red Cross reports to Congress; its accounts are audited by the War Depart- ment;. all that it does is open to public _ scrutiny. Since 1905 the American Red Cross has rendered valuable aid in 90 disasters. It has received and expended more than $15,000,- 000 in money and relief supplies. Thousands of families have been helped ‘ and kept together; suffering has been re-_ - lieved; and gteater misery prevented. Its work also includes preventive and educa- tional measures. No other agency provides so practical an opportunity for helping humanity in times of great crises, when the need is urgent, and the measures for relief must be prompt and adequate.

Seven fires broke out, one of great violence in the Cen- tral Station. Six other machines bombarded Ludwigshafen, doing con- siderable damage. Among _ other buildings the important Badische aniline factory was devoured by flames. “Another of our airplanes, piloted by Marechal Des Logis Gallois, pushed as far as Essen and dropped projectiles on the buildings of the Krupp factory. oa “Military installations in the en- virons of Coblenz, the Hirson Sta- tion, the railroad west of Pfalsburg and the Thionville Station were like- wise bombarded.
