W. Clardy had died that morning at his home at Liberty, Missouri. He had been a sufferer from heart troub- le for about two years, and while his death was not entirely unexpected, it came as a shock to his many friends in this city, where he was formerly a prominent citizen. About twenty years ago he was identified with sev- eral business enterprises in Butler and served one term as mayor of the cry. Besides ‘his wife he is survived by one daughter and three. sons. No arrangements have been made for the funeral, but it will probably be held at Smithville, Missouri, where his parents and many relatives are buried. Athletes in First Section. St. Louis, July 21—Grant Wyatt, former star quarter mile runner of the University of Missouri, was drawn for examination for the first section of the national army in the army draft yesterday. Clarence Wolf, one of the team of four that recently won the team championship in the Trans-Missouri golf tourney, was drawn in the first call. ; Three players on the St. Louis American Baseball team are among the men summoned for examination. They are Dave Davenport, pitcher; George Hale and William. Jacobson. ENDS THE SHIP ROW President Wilson Gets Rid of the Two Quarreling Factions. Washington, July 24.—Sweeping steps were taken by President Wilson today, to put an end to delay in building America’s , reat merchant marine. Two resignations—those of Gen- eral Goethals, manager of the Emer- gency Fleet Corporation, and Capt. J. B. White, member of the shipping board, were accepted. Chairman Denman of the shipping board was asked to resign. At the same time the President announced the appointment of Ed- win Hurley, Chicago, as chairman of the shipping board, and Admiral Capps, naval constructor, as general manager of ~the Emergency Fleet Corporation. : Z Bainbridge Colby of New York wa: named in White's place on the ship- ping board. “We will start with a clean sheet,” the President explained in his letter to Goethals, accepting the general's resignation offer.

The last week or ten days have. been busy ones for the- Red Cross workers of-Butler and vicinity. Mon- day night H. O. Maxey, J. A. DeAr- mond and E. B. Silvers and the Red Cross glee club went out to Amoret where a good crowd was in attend- ance. Speeches were made explain- ing the aims of the organization and the urgent need for it and when the The Vossiche Zeitung Ridicules Idea of Women Offering Defense Services. Washington, D. C., July 22—An example of the efforts made by Ger- man newspapers to deceive the peo- ple concerning America's participa- tion in the war is given in extracts from The Vossiche Zeitung of June 19, just received here. After attempting to discredit the success of the Liberty Loan the pa- per continues: ° “It is significant for the American conception of war that several wo- men succeeded jin being accepted for service in the flying corps. In one case a woman was even accepted by the Coast Artillery to have charge of signalling. a “Department stores and other large business houses, as a joke of advertising, put their many thou- sands of female employes into uni- forms and trained them in the using of firearms. ‘For an explanation they point to a possibility of these female armies to have to maintain order all over the country.

Tuesday night Virginia was visit- ed and a live, hustling chapter was forty, at the big county meeting at Butler, Saturday, July 28. On Wednesday night the Flying Squadron was at Pleasant Gap where their coming had been advertised and a fair crowd was on hand all eager to learn how they might help. A chapter was also organized there. On Thursday night it is planned to go to Hume where there is no doubt bu that a big chapter will be organ- ized, ag the Hume people are a live bunch and always right up towkards the front of the procession.

A Gulf Port, July 2§—The unre- stricted career of a German submar- ine recently came to a, swift end when in coming to the surface it rose directly beneath a big steamer of the Alfred Holt line a short distance out of Liverpool, according to the master of a steamer docking here today. With attention apparently focused entirely on disposing of a smaller steamer several miles away, the sub- marine crew was unaware of the larg- er steamer. Both were moving in the same general direction. The ship careened sharply from the” up- ward blow, but immediately slid safely from the enemy's back. The submarine came up only a few hun- dred feet away and, fully exposed, furnished a fine target for the ship’s gunners. A few well placed shots were sufficient. vee Peru Items. There are four threshing machines running in and around Peru. C. W. Doan has gone west of But- ler with his machine. Ross Williams has been employed by L. M. Deffenbaugh to go with his machine. Miss May McGinnis went to Rich Hill last Saturday and had her ton- sils taken out. She had to remain a few days under the care of Dr. Dela- meter. . Miss Dora Rogers was the guest of Mrs. Visa Eckles last Saturday and Sunday. Mrs. L. G. Thomas has gone to Buhl, Idaho, to visit relatives and friends. Anyone wanting to know if Mar- gret is.a good cook, just drop in to dinner some day while her mother is away. Say, us kids passed the other day and we were just sure we smelled burned beans. Mrs. Alice Blalock and daughter of Hume visited at the home of Mr, and Mrs. Henry Evilsizer a few days last week. Mrs. Lizzie McGinnis and daugh- ter, Mae, and Grandma McGinnis of Rich Hill were guests of Mrs. F. L. Blankenbaker last Friday. . Mr. Elijah Groves, who has been sick at the home of his sister, Mrs. Jack Walker, was taken in an auto to the home of his daughter in Kan- sas last Monday. Miss’ Florence Chaney returned last Saturday from Sheldon, where she had been visiting her sister, Mrs. Sallie Silvers. We also heard that Florenee was canning blackberries while down there. Mrs. Jennie Knowles and children of Ft. Scott, Kas., are visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Chaney. Misses Mae and Florence Belt spent a few days last week with Mrs. Nellie Thompson. us BILLIE AND SUSIE. American Liner Sinks U-Boat. Paris, July 24——That an American steamer recently sank a large Ger- man submarine in the English Chan- nel was announced here today, fol- lowing a dispatch to the Temps from Havre. While on a voyage from the Unit- ed States the steamer was attacked by a submarine, and, replying to its fire, sent 35 shells at the under-wat- er boat, which assumed a perpen- dicular position and disappeared be- heath the water. MEANS MORE DRAFTED MEN Increase in War Bill Indicates a Big- ger Force to France. Washington, July 24—An Ameri- can army of a million men for ser- vice abroad as soon as possible in- stead of 1-2 million contemplated for the first draft is foreshadowed by the government's request for an ad- ditional § billion dollars made to the Senate finance committee today. The first million men are to be made-up of the first draft army of 1-2 million, the national guard and the regulars. It is improbable that the first draft will be increased, but the government is arranging its fi- nances for other drafts without the necessity of going to Congress again for money. Secretary McAdoo, committee members said, told the finance com- mittee it was estimated that an ad- ditional credit of 2 billion dollars to be lent to the Allies would also be requested. In addition to the war and navy es- timates, members of the Senate ap- Propriations committee said the shipping board already had submit- ted estimates for additional appro- priations of 500 million dollars. For the board 800 million dollars already has been authorized. Estimates for revenues in the war tax bill provide only for the first 1-2 million men for eight months, begin- ning July 1. The new estimates are designed to provide for the first army of 1-2 million for an entire year and, in addition, for twelve months’ expenditures caused by the second call of 1-2 million men, because it would be necessary to buy their Should Print the War News. Philadelphia, July 19.—Speaking on the subject of censorship of war news before the chamber of commerce here today, Louis Wiley, business manager of the New York es, said it was absolutely necessary that the country retain its free speech and free press.
