to be pressed Into service If necessary.
Ill feeling between whlto and negro la
borers from tho South who recently camo

divided In number.
They work In tho large shipbuilding and
other Chostcr Industrial plants.
ILL-PEELING STILL STRONG
An undercurrent -of Ill-feeling among the
whites and negroes still Is In evidence as a
result of tho riot, but Mayor McDowell snld
that this would bo curbed by tho fines and
sentences which are being Imposed.

FEAR ANOTHER BREAK
Rumors are current here today that some
thing will "break." Local officials, how
ever, say tho situation la well In hand.
Extra guards wilt bo placed on duty tonight.
Night is regarded as tho most dangerous
time for outbreaks. Special precauttonj
Tlll bo taken for next Saturday night.
Mayor McDowell said that tho lll-feellng
between the southern whlto and negro
laborers lias been noticed since they came
hero some tlmo ago.
In no sections nre tho whites and negi-oes
seen Intermingling on tho streets today. No
disorder, however, has been reported.
In all flvo men were shot during tho
riot. The condition of none Is serious.
" The outbreak started as the lesult of
J Iho L-llll,, f Will It n, TVfnllnno V (if lid
Reaney street, by a negro. He was stabbed
In the heart. Arthur Thomas and three
other negroes have been arrested In connec
tion with th mnrtlor.
:. Local nfHpl.il think thprfi rn.1V be a fur
ther outbreak when McKlnncy Is burled.
The burial Is scheduled for tomorrow. Ef
forts will be made to rush tho burial In
bv order to avoid further hostilities,
The McKlnney home is being closely
guarded. At the funeral It Is planned to
have the police, heavily armed, line the
sides of the streets as tho cortege passos.
The riot probably was the most spec
tacular thatl this city has ever known. A
howling mob of several hundred ran wild
In the central section of the city from
early evening until past midnight, yelling
t and lighting. It Is considered nothing snort
of miraculous that many were not killed.
There was" no burning, according to the
police. ' Investigation was made of a rumor
that a young negro had been burned to
death. This rumor today was branded as
false.
. The victims, all of whom aro suffering
from gunshot wounds of the arms and legs
and body, were taken to the Chester Hos
Pltal, where none' of the wounds Is said
to be fatal. They are John ltlchards and
s Joseph J. Dububo, white, and Weyman La
rue, a negro, of Havre de Grace, and two
unidentified negroes.

Food Control Conferees Meet
WASHINGTON, July 26. The House and
Senate conferees on the food-control bill
held their first session-today behind closed
dors.
By WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD
PHTROaRAD. July 2G.
Russian woman have laid down their lives
on tho battloflcld of democracy.
'Against tho reports of traitorous retreat
of somo of the Russian male divisions be
fore the Austro-Oermans came word today
of how the women's "Legion of Death" on
tho Vllna front fought and died In repuls
ing tho enemy attack.
For tho first time In the history of the
great world wnr casualty reports today
chronicled tho death and Injury of women
In the trenches.
Flvo women of tho "Legion of Death"
wero killed and wounded In this first en
gagement. In whloh they were called upon
to resist with arms the invasion of their
country.
Tho "Legion of Death" left Petrograd
barely two weeks ago. Its girl soldiers
garbod In trousers, puttees and tunics a
trifle longer than the usual army coats.
They woro tho regulation army caps, over
bobbed hair, and carried packs only a trlfto
lighter than thoso of tho regular Russian
soldiers.
Thoy entrained amid tho proud tears of
their famlllos. soberly, like veterans. Tho
girls were of Russia's best blood, of the
Ktrnmr stock of some of the city's Intel
lectual, financial and social leaders. Most
of them were students at universities. Some
wero wealthy. All pledged to "do or die"
for Russia,
Today Petrograd, proud, realized the Rus
sian women were capable of the supreme
sacrifice of their lives for the new democ
racy. L'xccpt for the women of Belgium
none hos suffered so In the years past as
thoe of Russia. Through the years of tho
Czar's autocratic grip they wero ground
under foot When the war began their
men wero taken for the Czar's service. No
word over reachod them from thoso who
left In the "Russian army's ranks. No
kindly Government told them of their fate.
At home only the Zemstvos peasants' or
ganisations kept many women from
starvation. The Government had no heed
for their fate.
Then camo tho revolution and all was
swept aside. Russia revived again. ' Rus
sian women, trampled through centuries by
the Iron heel of autocracy, sprang to the
opportunity for the supreme sacrifice of
life to cement their new liberty. The "Le
glon of Death" was tho uttermost exempli
fication of this spirit of sacrifice.
One other thing that gavo Fetrograd
prldo In the women flghtera wns that they
were In action at a front whero Russia's
troops were victorious. They speculated
on the possibility that It was this small
unit of Amazons that shamed some of the
Insecure Russian men fighters Into such
fierceness of purpose that the Teutonic line
gave way.

ATTACK IN BIG FORCE
PARIS July 20.
Suffering terrible losses, German troops
nevertheless succeeded In n desperato at
tack last night In occupying part of first
line French trenches east of Hurteblso to
south of La Bocl!o. Tho olMclat statement
today declared tho attack was In great
foroe.
The German assault was over approxi
mately a three-mllo front, In tho same
sector which has been battered unceasingly
and unavalllngly by the Crown Prince" for
the last woek. The French hero hold the
dominating positions on tho Chcmln-des-Dames.
GERMANS APPALLED BY
FLANDERS CANNONADE
LONDON, July 26.
"Berlin Is laying even greater emphasis
upon tho volume of British fire than upon
the remarkable cannonade which preceded
the winning of the AVytschneto-Messlnes
ridge.
Tho German Wnr Office report declares
that the bombardment In Flanders has
reached "the most cxtremo Intensity."
British thrusts, It is declared, erc driven
back Into "oyr crater positions," which
suggests that Prince Rupprccht's forward
positions have already been leveled.
Sir Douglas Halg's troops are raiding In
constantly Increasing numbers, especially
around Ypres, whero the ('online British
offensive Is expected to bo launched.
A successful raid southwest of Annen
tleres during tho night was all Field Mar
shal Halg had to report from tho British
front today. Ho said there was nothing
further of special Interest,
It Is nt believed hero that despite the
costly setbacks suffered from the French,
the German Crown Prince has abandoned
his determination to retake the line of ob
servation posts he lost onyhe Alsno front.
In the Champagne and on the left bank of
the Meusc, .northwest of Verdun.
Should tho British win an ovei whelming
success In tho north, forcing n German re
treat, these positions, especially thoso on tho
Chemln-des-Dames, would be absolutely
necossary to screen a withdrawal, and It Is
thought that this explains, In a degree, tho
tenacity and sacrifices of the enemy In his
recent attacks which have cost much and
won nothing,
WASHINGTON, July 20,
A Senate voto jn n national prohibition
amendment will be taken nt 4 o'clock next
Wednesday, nrconllng to n prlnto agree
ment reached by it unci dry leaders today.
Debate on tho amendment Is to begin Tues
day. A part of tho agreement Is that the
amendment must prolrto that unless rati
fied within six years by tho thirty-six States
tctiulrcd to put It In the Constitution It dies
To bo put up to tho Stato Legislatures
tho constitutional amendment icqulres a
two-thirds majority In Ilouhe and Senate.
Then three. fourths of the States must vote
to put the nmendment In the Constitution.
Thero nro now twenty-fivo "dry" States,
nccording to the Senato leaders. To make
the amendment a part of the Constitution
the diyn must gain eleven States within the
next hlx yearn. If the weto can hold thirteen
States one" moro than' ono-fouith tho
nmerdment will he lost.
Decision to vote so soon on the prohibi
tion amendment Is significant, In view of
an effort to havo such a voto release from

War Department's Call for
Five. Billions Finds Treas
ury Depleted '
MUST TAP NEW SOURCES
WASHINGTON. July 26.
The War Department's demands for
$5,000,000,000 for the prosecution of the war
took Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
completely by surprise, and 'he Is at a loss
to know how to find new sources of revenue,
It was learned today,
Mr. McAdoo was not taken Into the con
fidence of the War Department until a
short time before the JB.000,000,000 esti
mate was handed to him for transmission
to Congress. Immediately he set oxperts
o; the Internal revenue bureau to woik
figuring out amounts whjch could be raised
from various sources, but Is having1 great
difficulty In .finding reservoirs of wealth
which can conveniently be tapped to the
tune of a billion dollars, the amount which
Senator Simmons, chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee, says must be raised
by taxation to help make up the J5.000,
000,000 budget, . .
While It Is the province of Congress to
provide for ways and means of . raising
revenue, the Secretary of the Treasury,
being the servant of Congress. Is expected
to submit valuable suggestions as to sources
from which the funds may be drawn.
Secretary McAdoo has suggested many
new methods of taxation and has, with con
spicuous success. Inaugurated a system of
iwkinK ud frauds on the Internal revenue.
