AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP IN
FRANCE, July 19. Several thousand
soldiers were -made happy today when
as many letters or packages arrived
and were distributed among the vari
ous camps. It was lor many, if not
most of the men, the first mail they
had received since leavins the United
States and it was more welcome than
anything else could have been.
The original addresses on the letters
Indicated often how long the families
of men had been out of touch with
them. Every third or fourth missive
was addressed in care of the former
assignments of regiments, for instance,
the Mexican border and Western forts.
Others had found their way over to
"somewhere in France" notwithstand
ing the addresses; others had been ad
dressed to the recipients at Washing
ton in care of the War Department,
while others had been forwarded from
the sailing point of various regiments.
CHaplain la Postmnster.
The mail here has been put in charge
of one of the Army chaplains, who
thus has a busy week between his Sun
day duties and his work as postmaster.
All letters and packages are forwarded
from Paris and must be ported and dis
tributed under his direction. Likewise
he has charge of all the outgoing mail.
Major-General William L Sibert
went through his entire camp today on
the first official inspection tour he
has made. From early morning until
late in the afternoon he made the
rounds and did not call it a day until
he had examined each set of quarters
and inspected virtually every man In
his command.
Yesterday an American corporal
opened a barber shop in the abandoned
Quarters of a one-time French barber,
who now is at the front. Almost im
mediately the American cornered vir
tually all the trade in town. He had
so many customers, both French and
American, that he announced that bus
iness here was far better than in his
previous army shops in Manila, Ha
waii, Alaska and on the Mexican bor
der. As the kits have been unpacked,
phonographs have made their appear
ance and the daily military concerts
are supplemented by informal phono
Kraph recitals.
Durable Bread Distributed.
The busiest of all the American troop
departments these days is -the quarter-
master's, which is working almost fe-.
verishly to perfect its system of sup
plying the men with all the necessi
ties. The work has gone ahead so fast
that the quartermaster already has a
three months1 supply of all foods within
a. short distance of the camp and a
constant 10-days' supply here.
The troops are still eating the dark
French bread which is being paid for
with American flour, but within three
days bakeries will have been estab
lished and the rations will change to
white bread with a heavy crust, which
makes it transportable and durable.
The American Army will then be the
only one in Europe eating white bread.
It is today the biggest meat consumer,
as the men receive a ration of 20
ounces dally.
The American ..oldiers are now living
on the so-called field ration, which con
sists of 20 ounces of fresh beef daily
or 12 ounces of bacon, or 16 ounces of
canned meat, or 16 ounces of canned
salmon; is ounces of soft or 18 ounces

JOHNSTOWN, Fa., July 19. George
C. Tompkins, of Philadelphia, held in
connection with the shooting to death
of Edmund I. Humphries, prominent
coal operator, his wife, Mrs. Carrie
Humphries, and their 15-year-old son,
Edmund I. Humphreys, Jr., on a coun

last bunday, confessed to the three
murders today, according to announce
ment by the police. The confession
was made in the presence of Jailor Ed
ward Knee, of the county Jail, and
Tompkins' attorneys.
Tompkins was a member of the Hum
phries automobile party. Following
the shooting he went to the home of a
friend and declared that the party
had been held up by three masked
men, who shot and killed the members
of the Humphries family. Despite this
story, Tompkins was held and formally
charged with the murder.
According to Jailer Knee, Tompkins
was sitting In the office of the Jail
talking to his wife pnd. his lather,
George C. Tompkins, Sr., of Clinton,
N. J., when he burst forth, saying:
I killed those three people. 1 killed
them all. I killed Humphries in the
cornfield. I bought the pistol in Johnstown."
Later, it is said, he made a detailed
verbal confession to Rev. B. V. Henry,
but this confession was not made public
the remaining counties in proportion
to their respective populations.
"This, however, gave several other
counties an excess, due to the fact that
they were enlisted nearly up to their
required quota, and these excesses in
turn had to be apportioned among the
remaining counties. After these adjust
ments had been made the net quota re
maining to be supplied by the respec
tive counties were those shown in the
table.
Absolute AccuracT Required.
"In calculating the quotas and credits
assigned to the counties, the Govern
ment required all proportions to be
calculated to six decimal places to in
sure entire accuracy in the results."
On account of the great amount of
work necessary to be done speedily
and accurately today in listing and
making public the names of those
drawn for service, the office of the
Adjutant-General will be closed to the
public all day.
Only accredited representatives of
the press will be received. Even th
telephones will be disconnected for the

WAR TIME NERVOUSNESS
In these war times many people are
living in an unnatural condition of
nervous excitement. Unless something
is done to correct it the inevitable
result will be a nervous breakdown,
an exhaustion of nervous energy that
may take a very serious and unfore
seen turn.
Neurasthenia is one such result with
Its accompaniment of worry, irritabil
ity, oversensitiveness and severe head
ache. It means that the patient has
Jost the power to recover and store
up energy. The condition will grow
worse if not corrected.
The treatment is one of nutrition of
the nerve cells, requiring a non-alcoholic
tonic. As the nerves get their
nourishment from the blood, the treat
ment must be directed towards build
ing up the blood. Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills act directly on the blood and
have proved of the greatest benefit in
many cases of neurasthenia. A ten
dency to anemia, or bloodlessness,
shown by most neurasthenic patients,
is also corrected by these tonic pills.
Two useful books, "Diseases of the
Nervous System" and "What to Eat

in order to provide enough men to
cover the probable exemptions and re

ability.
With 717 men to be furnished by Ore
gon, 1434 names would be drawn if
this system is followed. Of these 1434.
however, only 717 would be actually
taken into the military service. Their
selection, of course, would be in the
order in which the numbers were
In counties like Multnomah, which
have already furnished their full
quotas on this draft through volun
tary enlistments in the regular Army
and National Guard, there will be no
names given out. Men in such coun
ties having numbers that would have
called them out had the counties not
already furnished their quotas will
be called out in the same order on the
next draft, however.
Some mighty faBt work was done
In General White's office yesterday
morning, when official notification was
received from the Provost Marshal
General iat the state's gross quota
is 7387 and Its net quota 717, as pre
viously announced in press dispatches.
Within one hour. General White was
able to report back to Washington
that the apportionment of quotas In
each of the counties of the state, called
the allocation of the draft quota, had
been completed and notification tele
graphed to each county.
Quota Table Is Prepared.
This quick action was made possible
through the fact that General White
had assumed that the press dispatches
were correct, and on that basis had
had a tentative allocation table made
out. As soon as the press figures were
officially confirmed, all that was nec
essary was to make the tentative al
location table an official one, and
send copies, which had also been pre
pared, to the proper authorities in each
county.
Thus much delay at a critical June
ture was saved.
General White gave out the follow
ing statement in explanation of the
method whereby the net quotas for
the various counties were calculated:
"First, the gross quota of 7374 as
signed to the state was apportioned
among the counties in proportion to
their respective populations, as esti
mated by the Census Bureau on the
basis of the registration for conscrlp
tlon.
Knllstmenta Are Credited.
"Next, each county was credited with
the total number of its enlistments in
the National Guard and regular Army
to June 30. and the difference between
the gross quota assigned to the county
and the total credit was found.
"Several counties had an excess of
credits over grosa quota, and these
credits were next, apportioned autoes

PETROGRAD. July 19. (Special.)
The Bolshivikis (the rebellious radi
cals), especially the Red Guard of the
Viborg district, under the leadership
of machine gunners, who refused to go
to the front, having- forced the issue
by a demonstration in front of the
Tauride Palace (after it had been for
bidden by the United Provisional Gov.
nment and Councils of Workmen,
Soldiers and Peasants), no course was
eft open to the government out to end
the revolt by disarming the discordant
lements.
That the government was strong
enough to disarm the agitators was
demonstrated by its having maintained
today a rigid control throughout the
istrict .with a small proportion of the
loyal forces in the city. But the army
t the front was so disgusted at the
continual disturbance in Petrograd
that it has started a corps, which is
now on its way here, to suppress the
trouble-makers.
Radicals Alarmed mt Own Aets.
Many of the Bolshivikis are coming
over to the side of the government, be
ing alarmed at the violence they
aroused by disclaiming against the
ich.
They have done great harm to the
cause of radical socialism by trying to
bring .on civil war.
PETROGRAD, July 19. With the re
pentance of the military elements con
cerned in the recent demonstrations
and their repudiation of the cause in
which they temporarily enlisted, the
danger of further disturbances by the
Maximalists appears to be over for the
time being. Today the city is normal.
As a safeguard the troops were kept in
readiness for any trouble that might
arise.
During the night several companies
of infantry arrived from the front to
assist in the preservation of order. A
detachment of Cossacks also reached
Petrograd to patrol the streets. Tele
grams have been received by the min
sters and council of deputies from
various parts of the country protesting
a lack of sympathy with the Maximal
ist movement and giving assurance of
support to the workmen's and soldiers'
and peasants' organizations.
Special CongKH Called.
A special congress of delegates rep
resenting all the councils of Russia has
been summoned to meet at petrograa.
July 28, to determine the future com
position of the cabinet and the govern
mental policy. Until then the present
ministers have been given assurances
of support. The congress will consist
of delegates from the local and district
councils of the workmen and soldiers
Socialists, Maximalists and Minimal'
ists organizations and the regimental
committees.
Disturbances similar to those In
Petrograd also took place in Kiev. Five
thousand Ukrainian soldiers seized the
Kiev arsenal, but according to the lat
est reports prompt measures taken by
the general In command resulted in the
restoration of order.
A letter from General Brussilofrs
chief of staff states that Nikolai
Lenine. the Radical Socialist leader, is
in agent of the German general staff.
The evidence was traced through the
confession of Lieutenant Ermolenko
that he was sent to the front of the
Sixth Russian army to make a propa
ganda in favor of early peace with
Germany.
Lenine's task was to compromise the
provisional government in the eyes of
the people by every possible means,
Funds were "sent through the inter
mediary of an employe of the German
Legation at Stockholm. The alleged
chief German agent in Russia is Maxsta
Koslovsky, to whose account, it is
stated, two million rubles are now

but has decided that for the present
it will not be necessary to take part

It was officially explained at the

course was followed at present, it was
not to be taken as an indication of a
permanent policy.
The Paris conference was stated in
the Invitation to be largely military
and upon the Balkan situation. The
United States at present has no direct
interest In that question as affecting'
its own war plans, it was stated.
Nevertheless it is realized that as
a final settlement of the world-war

Firestone Cord Tires and others. Super-size, that is,
greater feirth. and larger air column, is one of these

another. The Firestone tread compound is another.
