Sedalia, Mo., Sept. 21.—Sedalia will vote on saloons as soon after October 23 as permitted by law. This was the decision of more than seven hundred “dry” advocates who assembled in the court house last night after three hors of parley with representatives of the liquor interests had proven ot no avail. ‘ The liquor interests had asked for a conference in an effort to get to- gether on the question and avoid the election which has already been or- dered by the city council. The liquor interests proposed that if the election were called off at this time they would take no active financial part in any election held in the future, pro- viding the next election was not held until July 1, 1918, refusing to accept | : a proposition of the “drys” to quit business at the end of June, 1918, Af- ter it was seen that no agreement could be reached, a committee from the Chamber of ;Commerce was called into the conference. A recommenda- tion from this committee that the lection be postponed until January 1, 1918,was rejected unanimously by the drys. “Ordnance Orders Are‘ Heavy.

Gun Companies. vada, Mo., Sept. 2 under Het new , United eee “antly organization plan recently adopted, Under the plan announced today | the old Third and Sixth Missouri na-! tional guard regiments and the . old} national guard regiments ’ will ‘be consolidated and will become’ the Six- ty-ninth brigade, commanded by Brigadier General C. I> Martin of Kansas. The old First and Fifth Mis- souri national guard regiments and tional guard regiments will be con- solidated and will become the Seven- tieth brigade, commanded by Bris- adier General A. B. Donnelly of St. Louis. Both General Martin and General Donnelly were appointed to their present rank August 5. Brigadier General Hatvey C. Clark of Nevadg, who has held his present-is ranking brigadier general of the national guard of the entire United States, will be in command of the depot brigade at Fort Sill, consisting of the reserves which will fll up the two Missouri and Kansas brigades when casualties occur. The Second: Missouri infantry, com- manded by Colonel W. A. Raupp, of Pierce City, will be split into three separate battalions of machine gua companies, a battalion being assigned to both the Sixty-ninth and Seven- tieth brigade. The new regiments’ will consist of 3,605 enlisted men‘ and 95 officers. There will be six company officers, instead of three, as formerly, so that no company officer will be affected by the consolidation of the new state guards, except through possible loss of seniority. At least five colonels and five liev- tenant colonels will be affected, it was predicted here today, as _ there will be only one colonel and lieuten- ant colonel to each of the new regi- ments although double the size of the old regiments.

Zurich, Sept. 22—The German papers now concede that the lack of proper food has caused epidemics of dysentery in ‘many cities and towns. In Mannheim the disease claimed 21 victims within a few days. A large number of deaths is also re- ported front Hamburg, Berlin, Dan- zig, Cologne, Aix-la-Chapelle, Leip- g, Koenigsberg and other cities. The existence of the epidemic has re- peatedly been denied by the German government. In some German districts many persons have been killed by eating poisonous fungi which were gath- ered by women and children in the forests. The most serious case of this kind is reported from Essen, where six men, four women and five children died- after a meal of toad- stools which had been . taken for mushrooms. Card of Thanks.
