Whether Germany has been check

undrum, although the allies claim
that the German advance has been
definitely stopped, and even thrown

show that the allies have nasscd i

WANT JOHN oRTH'S
FORTUNE DIVIDED,

Geneva, March 29.-Divislon or the
fortune of John ORTIZ the long miss
ing archduke John Salvador of Austria
is again being sought by members OF
the House of Hapsburg. Leopold
Woelfing, himself a former archduke
of Austria. is leader of the present agi-
tation for settlement of the estate.
Woelfing, who has been Swiss eiti-
zen since he renowned his title anu
married Maria Ritter, the daughter OF
a German horseman, has taken up the
question of the fortune with~Emperor
Francis Joseph. but it is doubtful that
he will meet with any success. The
emperor, many years ago selected
the year 1917 as the one in which the
affairs of the vanished archduke
should be settled.
1t has been estimated that the Tor
tune which the Arehduke John Sal
vator left when he fed from Austria "A

spoke on the subjects of interest taken

This closed the program of the eve

first president of the Bingham Board
Of Trade, arose and in a few we'll
chosen words, proposed a rising vote
of thanks in appreciation Of the
speakers, which was heartily accorded.
Bingham's enthusiasm refused to
stop here and everybody who was ever
known to sing gathered around the
orchestra and INDUCED in singing the
old popular college songs, making a
fitting closing to one of the mast in
teresting and enjoyable occasions ever
held in Bingham.

TEMPERANCE CAM
PAIGN IN RUSSIA.

st. Petersburg, March 29.-The edu-
cational campaign against intemper-
ance has started with vim in Russia.
At the instance of the Minister of
Ways and Communications a large
railway car has been fitted out with
exhibits showing the results of excess
sive indulgence in alcohol. 1t will be
taken all over the railways of North
ern Russia by a lecturer and several
attendants. The car will be side
tracked at the principal stations and
lectures on the evils of drink will be
given to the railway employees. The
lectures will be illustrated by magic
lantern slides.
1t is increasingly apparent that the
recent changes in the cabinet were due
solely to the desire of Emperor
Nicholas to strengthen his campaign
against alcoholism. He is determined
to do away with "the national vice"
and he has instructed his new minis
ters to attack the drink evil vigorous
~.
1t is understood that the new adj
ministration proposes to reduce the
production of vodka, the national
licit trading; and to refuse hereafter
to consider drunkenness as mitigat-
ing circumstance in cases of crime.
Excise officials are to be held to a
stricter accountability for what goes
on in their districts.
How the government proposes to
meet the loss of revenue on vodka is
not known. Receipts from taxes on
liquors last year were $l0l, 100000
against total receipts of $6,4S1, 11S,000
from all sources.
The government intends also to take
measures to render financial aid to
small farmers and rural industries
The form of this relief has not yet
been decided, but II is probable that it
will include system of cooperative
country banks, based on the system in
operation in Germany and other CONT
mental countries.

best of my ability and not worry over
what the other fellow is doing" he
said.
He will sail for home from Liver
