Bryant, said by federal agents to be
the state president of the Farmers and
Laborers' Protective Association of
America, wae arrested at Lenders last
night and brought here to be sent to
Dallas this morning. N
Agents have been looking for Bryant
several days following his indictment
at San Angelo in connection with the
alleged conspiracy to forcibly resist
conscription.

ment in th* signal corps reserves. For
the signal corps reserve 2000 -men are
needed, including telegraphers, tele,

Major Hartmann believes that there
are thousands of former telegraph op-
erators who have retired from the tele-
graph field and who ure ineligible for
military duty, but who could fill the
demand for commercial and press op-
rators.
DALLAS, Texas, May 25.—G. T.

United States officials said today

Charging seditious conspiracy. His
case will go before the federal grand
jury here and an indictment against
him on a charge of treason will be

alty for treason is death.
Reports reaching here that as a re-
sult of agitation in several West Texas
counties numbers of men have an-
nounced their intention to not register

Consequently In the disaffected dis-

LONDON, May 25.—"The suecesses against submarines have
resulted in a distinct improvement iu our food situation," said Pre-
mier Lloyd George today in the House om Commons.
The premier said more effegtive blows had been dealt the sub-
marines during the last three weeks than in any corresponding period
of the war.
The shipping losses for May, the premier said, probably would
show a reduction from the April figures. In speaking of the sue-
cess of the anti submarine methods he said t
"We owe a very considerable debt of gratitude to. the great
American people for the effective assistance they have rendered and
the craft they have placed at our disposal. Now that the Ameriean
nation is in the war, it ia easier to make arrangements for the pro,
tection of our mercantile marine than it was before."

GRAND HEADQUARTERS OF THE
FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, May 24.
(From a Staff Correspondent of the
Associated Press.)—The first American
combatant corps went to the front to-
day under Captain E. I. Tinkham and
Lieutenant Scully of Princeton.
Captain Tinkham won the war cross
at Verdun.
It was a proud moment when the
first detachment of the American field
service, consisting mainly of Cornell
undegraduates, departed for the Atone
battlefield. They were armed with
carbines, attired in khaki uniforms and
drove American five-ton motor cars.
As they left, the Stars and Stripe float-
ing over the cantonment in an historic
French forest, spread out in the breeze
and other contingents cheered them on
their way.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press watched other American section®
drilling in preparation for active par-
ticipation in the fighting. Among them
LLOYDGEORGESAYS
Austrian offlical statements, supple-
menting the announcement from Rome
indicate that the Italian offensive in
the Julian Alps and on the Carso pla-
teau is steadily growing tn importance
and extent. General Cadorna is ap-
parently making a supreme effort for
a decision and the brilliant successes
he has already won have aroused high
hopes.
The Italian commander is apparently
following the Anglo-French tactics of
striking nightly alternative blows at
his enemy’s flanks: The roar of his
guns can already be heard in Trieste,
but the wilderness of volcanic rocks
and caves which lies between him and
his goal makes a rapid advance under
the most favorable circumstances, a
practical impossibility. The most ad-
vanced Italian posts are scarcely more
than ten.miles from the great Aus-
trian naval base, but this distance is
not to be compared with'an equal ex-
tent in an open country.
Conditions Are Acute.
The Italian blow is struck at a time
when political conditions of Austria-
Hungary have reached an acute phage.
Ths resignation of Count Tisz, "Iron
man” of the dual monarchy and a
staunch pillar of the pan-Grmanism
and junkerdom, and the reported as-
sembling of the Austrian parliament, a
step bitterly fought by,the bureaucrats
since the outbreak of the war and as
bitterly contended toy by the Demo-
crutie leaders The two events give
decided col .» to the numerous reports
that the young Emperor, Charles has
Democratic leanings and consequently
is opposed to the junker ring in Ber-
lin.
A further and highly significant in-
dication of the Austrian Emperor's po-
sition comes in the report that he has
summoned Counts Albert Apponyi and
Julius Andrassy to an audience. Both
men have been conspicuous for yeara
as leaders of the liberal faction in
the empire and have been consistent
opponents of Count Tisza. Count Ap-
ponyi has delivered numerous lectures
in the United States and Count An-
• drassy hr credited with having a warm
admiration for England and English
institutions. He has for many years
ndvocated universal suffrage for Aus-
tria-Hungary and is also the father
of a scheme for a world forum.
Other. Fronts Quiet.
No change of importance is reported
from any of the other war theaters.

pecially for farmers residing in the
Bouthwestern portion of the State,

PETROGRAD, May 24, via London.
The Agrarian disorders, wholesale
confiscation of property, incendiarlem
and other dangerous symptoms of an-
archy which followed the overthrow
of the old authority are becoming more
serious, according to dispatches from
various points in Bessarabia and Si-
beria. Hn many cities the soldiers
committees, by taking prompt action,
have succeeded in anticipating revolts.
In others, however, the peasants, de-
fying restraint, have burned or sacked
and appropriated private properties
and a general state of anarchy pre-
vails.
Yeniseisk, in central Siberia, reports
that during the last three weeks thirty
houses were burned and that the popu-
lation to in a <*0041(100 of panic. Men
of various foreign nationalities, head-
ed by anarchst leaders and escaped
criminals, have overrun the district,
the advices state. Martial law has
been declared.
A dispatch from Tsarityan, in the
government of Saratov, says all au-
thority has been overthrown in the
city, which is completely in the hand«
of the peasants. The soldiers levied a
contribution of 1,500,000 rubles for the
increase of their pay and confiscated
ships on the Volga.
Latest reports from the Minsk gov-
ernment state that the Agrarian dis-
orders threaten complete ruin of ag-
riculture there. Iff one dietrict all the
wine cellars were sacked .and the
militia found itself powerless to pre-
vent drunken riots.
Public organisations and committees
are striving to stem the tide of an-
archy. which to sweeping many dis-
tricts of Bessarabia The Kishinev
peasants have driven their rattle on to
fields where grain was being reseryed.
Food conditions are serious in this part
of Russia. The Pskov district com-
mittee has decided that all agricultural
lands may be taken free of charge
and this has resulted in a general con-
fiscation. _

LONDON, May 25.— Hui rvivors of the
torpeded transport Transylvania who
are now in England, say that the ves-
sel was struck by the first torpedo at
10 o’clock in the morning. The ship
was greatly damaged, but the engines
were uninjured and the captain tried
to reach shore, several, miles distant,
in the hope of benching the vessel. A
quarter of an hour later, a second
torpedo hit the engine room and the
ship was brought to a standstill and
began to settle.
The first torpedo is believed to hnve
killed a large numbr of men, while the
second caused the death of most of
those in the engine voom and Wrecked
the machinery, put out ’he electri
lights and tore away a large part of
the side of the vessel: It also struck
a loaded boat blowing it to pieces.
All the boats were rapidly lowered,
the nurses aboard, embarking first.
The soldiers, who Were lined up on the
deck, shouted jocuiar farewells and
sang "Tipperary” and other soldiers’
songs. Destroyers raced to the rescue
and worked energeticaily until crowded
to capacity with survivors, many of
whom were injured.
