Chicago, 111., Julr 28.?The race war
spread tonight to widely scattered sec- j
tion8 of tiid cl$K. The police report
ed trouble at ieVeral points on the
Ncfrth side. Hundreds or policemen
were rushed lb halt a reported con
flict between several thousai^ds of
whites and blacks on the Southwest
side. Crowds of whites penetrated
the downtown district on avowed
hunts for negroes.
Four regiments of State troops were
in barracks ready for duty this even
ing as a result of the race riots which
since Sunday have kept the city in a j
turmoil. The soldiers, plentifully sup
plied with riot ammunition were dis-!
tributed about tteer South side negro I
district a3 a support line to powerful
police forces concentrated within the
trouble zone.
C..">00 Troops on Duty.
In addition- to the four regiments on
t lie grounds, the nineth and tenth regi
i-i.::ts of the guard and three other
it? .?.-ve units were mobilized at various
to- throughout the State awaiting
wok. io entrain for Chicago. This gave
a potential military force of approxi
mately 3.500 as a background for the
city police force.

My Dear Mr. Poedlek: *
All that I have aMft and i&rd over here In France has but
added to my eenae of pfofawjiAavrsclstlon of the vital Importance
of maintaining In full vpliim? aiMatrength the service of the seven
organizations which Kid in t united campaign for aup
port?the Young Men's ChrigSjBjAaeoclatlon, the Young Woman'?
Chrletlan Aeeoclatlon, tha NfljMMBM Catholic War Council (Kntghta

munity Servloe, tha AmeHwt.jifcrary Aeeoclatlon and tha 8a1va*
Won Army, on bahalf of our sftlifiire and aallora.
In addition to tha naada wlMh exleted at tha beginning of tha
war, thara ara now added and ?ery Imperative reasons why thla
work ahould be continued durilp the period of demobilisation.
Tha American p*ople ehowBd In s remarkable manner their
wholehearted support of tha oitla for which their men were fight
ing when they responded so ganjfrously to the appesl of the United
War Work Campaign last Novsi^er, and I earnestly hope that the
whole amount then eubecrlbed may be forthcoming, In order that
this final helpful and atlll absolutely necessary ministry on behalf
of the men who have given thtniselvee with such rare devotion to
the natlon'a oauae may be In evfery way worthy of their wonderful
aplrlt.

SITUATION MORE SERIOUS
THAN BEFORE,
ADJ.-GEN. SAID.
Chicago, July 30.?The decis
ion to use troops to patrol the
dangerous parts of the trouble
zone was taken tonight as c. pre
cautionary measure, after Adju
tant General Dickson had made
a round of the south side negro
district and its environments.
He said the situation was more
serious than 24 hours before. It
was not deemed necessary at the
time the mayor asked for the
troops to proclaim martial law
and whether Governor Lowden
was prepared to take that step
was not made known. It seem
ed to be generally believed that
placing the militiamen on pa
trol duty would prevent further
serious rioting.
Whlle-the -trorrps were prepar
ing to march fron; '.lie'armories
a riot broke out at Fiftieth and
8tate streets. Many meh. negro
and white, clashed, firing count
leas shots, the police report
said.. Police reserves were hur
ried to the scene.
