RAGE WAR

(Continued from Page One) fifteen other policemen were hit by bullets and one or two may die. Dickson Issues Order

In anticipation of a call for state

troops, CoL Anson L. Bolte, assistant to Adjutant-General Dickson, issued a general order controlling both the police and military In dealing with race rioters. The order says: "Captain of police Mullen will take charge of the military situation. "All men are Instructed not to fire except by order of the commanding officer. "Captain Mullen will instruct what he wants done. The method of doing it after we receive the instructions, depends upon the Judgment and discretion of the military commander. "If there is a mob and the civil authorities Instruct the military forces to disperse it, it Is up to the military

forces how the dispersing is to be done. Peaceful Means First. "Employ all peaceable means possible to disperse the mob; fire only as the last resort. The bayonet and the butt are to be -used before firing la comenced and will be found much more effective. "Under the police direction you are entirely Justified in taking extreme measures for the protection of life and property." Nearly fifteen hundred negro employes of the city were laid off by official order, owing to the riots. Many of the number were employed in street repair work. By official order nine municipal play grounds in or adjacent to the racial war zone were closed. Not more than five per cent, of the negro clerks, inspectors and Janitors employed at the city hall re

ported for work and the greater number of those who did appear were told to go home and stay there until further notice. At the garbage reduction plant only the whites, ' about ' onefourth of the usual force, appeared for work and at the city's asphalt plant there was an entire absence of men, all the employes being negroes. All city work In the second and third

wards, parts of each., being in the

bjack belt, has been suspended. U. S. Employes Protected. Negro chauffeurs, clerks and carriers at the npBtoffice were assured the fullest protection 'by Postmaster Carlile under whose jurisdiction are several hundred negroes.

Capt. Goodrich T. Smith, young Yale man and New York payslcan, decided upon a daring experiment. He ordered a change of name. Miss Farrar will obey the doctor's orders. ' Dr. Smith went overseas as a member of tha Army Medical Corps. He saw service on all tho American fronts up to the time of the armistice, with an unusual number of narrow escapes Jn his work with the ambulances and at flrBt aid stations. Miss Farrar sang to the doughboys in all the camps and leave centers up through France and Into Germany, until she was seized with tho illness

which, as luck had it, put her in the care of Dr. Smith. For rare pluck, the young doctor carried off all honors. He refused to call for help on the case. Offers from all his friends, as consultants, were Ignored -wholesale. His work with the Medical Corps prevented his being continually with his patient, though to his credit lt must be said that he devoted every spare minute to Miss Farrar. Finally the "Y" girl recovered from the influenza, but tha "complications" continued. Thereupon Dr. Smith decided upon the heroic measures which resulted in such perfect success. Miss Farrar studied music in Berlin and London, and was In light opera for some, time before going on the concert stage. Dr. Smith has a home at 219 Audubon Ays-. nue. New York City.
