LONDON, July 3.—The wnr hai
brought what might be described n»
a trampless era to England. There ii
not a workhouse In the United King
dom that has not reported a great de
crease in the number of vagrants dur
ing the past few months. Those who
still use the “casual wards” are men
of 60 years or over. Officials say
there are practically no young or
middleaged vagrants left.

BKITISH HEADQUARTERS, France
July 3.—It Is almost Impossible to ex
aggerate the importance of the Her
man strength in machine guns, which
they use with the greatest skill and
courage.
They had a stock of 50,000 on hand
at. the beginning of the war, and hare
been keeping this supply replenished
constantly from their arms factories.
A favorite trick is to leave a ma
chine gun or two hidden l.i a cellar
or similar place of concealment until
the enemy’s advance has swept by
and then open fire on the rear. The
post of the men serving the gun Is
of course hopeless, but they are fairly
certain to sell their lives dearly, con
tinuing to fire their gun to the last.
As an Instance of the deadly swift
ness of machine gun fire, it is stated
that a man coming under the fire of
one of these weapons and shot
through the head can be struck yet
ten times more in the second or two
that he takes to fall to the ground.

AVIATOR IS ,
PETROCRAD, July 3.—One of the
most daring Russian aviators on the
Galician front is a girl from the Petro
grad High School. She recently ar
rived at Kiev, wounded in arm and
leg, having been hit while flying over
some Austrian positions. She kept
control o her machine, however, and
landed s; wly behind the Russian
lines.

PARIS, July 3.—Many of the boI
dlers confined at the C’herche-Mtdl
prison awaiting court martial for in
fringement of regulations ask to be
defended by women lawyers. On the
contrary, the women at Saiut Lazare
awaiting trial generally ask the head
of the order of advocates for a man
to defend them.

PEKINO, July 3.—The Chinese
government has been adopting pecu
liar devices for the purpose of obtain
ing loans from the Chinese people,
since It Is Impossible during the
European war to obtain them from
abroad.
Besides introducing a lottery sys
tem In order to obtain investments in
the National Savings Bank, they are
now offering decorations to merchants
and others who will buy the “domestic
bonds" which the government Is Issu
ing. The purchaser who buys several
thousand dollars worth of the bonds
receives a sixth class or seventh class
decoration; he who buys more re
ceives a fifth class; and so it goes up
to very large sums, In which case spe
cial decorations, something new and
hitherto unprovided, are granted to
the men who trust the government
with hundreds of thousands or Mexi
can dollars.

FRENCH PUT BAN
ON COCAINE
TRAFFIC
PARIS, July 3.—The government
has decided to take as stringent meas
ures with cocaine and morphine ns
with ubsinthe. A radical decree re
inforcing the faulty laws against
Illicit traffic in them Is expected from
the minister of the Interior shortly.
A serious feature of the evil Is that
the “coco,” as it is called, has found
its way into the army and navy.
The immense profits on the traffic
tempt the unscrupulous to risk the
few mouths of prison the law pre
scribes. A gramme of cocaine costs
them 2 cents and they sell It at from
■10 cents to 60 cents. The police are
continually after them, but even when
they are caught they sometimes slip
through some loophole in the law. The
government has decided to close every
loophole now.
