American Training Camp, in France, July 19 (delayed).—General Sibert, second in command of the Americans in France, today made his first general inspection of the Ameri- can camp. The general personally overlooked every billet quarter of the soldief§ in the camp. He was accom- panied by his staff and found condi- tions satisfactory. A few minor rec- ommendations were forthcoming chiefly suggestions of living improve- ments in French homes, where ‘sol- diers were quartered. The French are surprised at the rapidity of the movements of General Sibert. The American general and his staff go through their work with the speed and efficiency of a well oiled machine. There was a drizzling rain, but it was not allowed to inter- fere with the ‘inspection of the men and their equipment. . After the trip was over General Sibert spoke enthusiastically of the condition of the men. He said they were fine specimens of physical man- hood. During the examination of the houses where the men are quartered, notes were made by General Sibert’s staff for suggestions which will come later. Laughable difficulties arise when the Americans start out to shop.

In vain he waited a fatal effect, and on the following day had the remains of the vial analyzed, It was a ‘war substitute’ poison. He then pro- cured a rope and hanged himself, but the rope was made of paper pulp and it broke. The two-fold failure of his attempt at suicide the man regarded as a sign of fate and a fresh joy in life inspired him. Proceeding to a certain well known restaurant, he or- dered an alleged meat stew. It was a ‘war substitute’ stew, and two hours later he was dead.” Must Cut Weeds and Brush.

Springfield, Mo., July 23.—When the cases against Taylor B. Adams, his son, Cletus Adams, and Claude J. Piersol, charged with the kidnapping of Lloyd Keet, and against Mrs. Al- lie Adams, Maxie Adams, Dick Cart- er and Sam McGinnis, charged with complicity in other kidnapping con- spiracies in Springfield, were called in the Greene County Criminal Court this morning, Judge Arch Johnson disqualified himself from sitting as trial judge. Judge Johnson practically had charge of the preliminary: investiga- tion of the plots that led to the ar- rest of the accused persons. He suggested Prosecuting Attor- ney O'Day and O. J. Page, the latter counsel for the prisoners, agree on a date for the trials. Page said he was undecided whether he would ask for a change of venue from the coun- ty and asked that all the cases be set down for August 7, Judge Johnson overruled this motion and set all the cases for next Monday, when it will be determined when and where the trials will take place. Can Still Enlist in Co. B. Captain Caruthers received a tele- gram Saturday from the adjutant general stating that all unmarried men, whose names have been drawn in the draft, can enlist in the Na- tional Guard until they have been of- ficially notified by the local exemp- tion board that their names have been drawn and to appear for exami- nation. Under this ruling any man whose name is near the head of the list can enlist in Co. B and go to the front with his friends and neighbors, and not wait until he is called for the draft, when he will have to go with any organization that may happen to be short. Remember that the enlist- ment must be made before the local board notifies the man to appear. After that it will be too late. We Are Doing Our Bit.
