French Patriots Alarmed.

The French people are waking up;
patriots are becoming alarmed. They
read with great uneasiness recent
statistics which show that the Balkan
war cost the five countries which en-
gagged in ii not more than alcoholism
costs France annually. They are re
alizing that between the two curses,
the three year military service and
the wine drinking of its subjects, the
country is in danger.
A great movement, with h%eadquar-
tiers in Paris, is establishing itself in
every city and village, and by identi-
flying alcoholism with antipatriotism
is arousing the national conscience.
The children are being taught in the
public schools the consequences OF
this giant evil, doctors are proclaim
ing the fearful result of wine drink
ing, posters which give thought ar
resting statistics, are being used
throughout the country and the fact
is being forcibly brought to the minds
of the people that France will cease
to exist If its continues its wine
drinking practices.

LIFE OF THE AIRMEN
German Aviators Encounter Hostilit!
When Engine Fails.

Berlin (yia London) Sept. TO-
Two interesting stories of the expert
ences of German ayiators during OPP
erations in the enemy's country have
been received here from the front.
The first is the recital of two officers
who were forced to land from their
machine near a hostile Belgian will
age because of motor trouble and
whose experience ended by the abb
duction of the trembling village mag
istrate in an aeroplane; the second is
the experience of two aviators whose
aeroplane was shot down in the
midst of the enemy's country. They
managed to find shelter in a forest,
where they wandered for five days
without food. Finally they were
found half delirious by advancing
Germans.
The two officers who had to land
near a Belgian village were attacked
by the local residents, who armed
themselves with shot guns. One OF
the Germans succeeded in seizing the
village magistrate as a hostage, and
while he kept his pistol at this Of
ficial's head his companion repaired
the motor. Then they made the mag
istrate mount the aeroplane, which

RAILROADS LEA
For ReIief-Ask That Rate Case BE
ReOpened.

Washington, Sept. 16.-Contend-
ing that they face unprecedented con-
ditions, aggravated by the European
war, the eastern railroads have in
formally Informed the interstate COM
meree commission of their intention
to ask for the %reopening of the ad-
vance rate case, in which a petition
for a general increase of 5 per cent in
freight rates was denied.
When the petition will be filed and
the probable scope of its appeal has
not been indicated. Commissioner
Clark told of the informal notice that
had been given by the railroads after
A meeting late today with President
Willard of the Baltimore & Ohio rail
road. Further hearing of the rate
case would be asked, il was said, to
show that extraordinary conditions
have arisen since July, when the com
mission reached its decision. The
roads contend that their showing for
the fiscal year 1914 is worse than had
been estimated, and that that condi.
ton now has been aggravated by the
effect of the European war On freight
business in the United States. Wheth-
err the roads west of Buffalo and
Pittsburgh, which were granted in
creases in the advance rate decision,
would ask for further relief has not
been indicated.

Indian Logic.

ical supervisor of the United States
Indian service, has lately held a coun-
ell with the Occur d'Alene Indians al
Wash, with the object of per
suading them to allow their tribal
funds TO be drawn upon, for the erec-
ton of a hospital for Indians. His
plans were well laid, and promising
for the relief of the sick and suffer
ing, but he reckoned without his host.
The Indians held a pow-wow, they
pow-wowed a whole day on the sub
ject, and reported to the officer that
they did not want a hospital. They
declared that all their diseases were
caused by liquor, and liquor caused
all the other troubles they had. They
unanimously demanded that the IL
quor traffic be suppressed so that
they might have comfort and peace.

SIX VICE ADMIRALS FOR NAVY
Senate Passes Measure Great

Washington, Feb. 14.-Six vice ad-
mirals for the American navy would
be authorized under a bill passed re-

ed debate in which senators told OF
how the commander of the battleship
fleet in Mexican waters might have to
take orders from a ranking foreigner.
The navy has been appealing for years
for revival of a higher grade than
rear admirals.
Secretary Daniels was highly
pleased by the senate's action, and
expressed confidence that the meas
ure would pass the house promptly
and be signed by the President.
Under the terms of the senate bill
four vice admirals on the active list
of the line would be appointed within
one year after the measure becomes
law, the other two to be named as
soon as practicable.
Considerable opposition to the bill
developed, but it lost force upon the
acceptance of an amendment by Sen
ator Lodge to provide that the num-
Der of rear admirals and vice ad-
mirals should not exceed the present
number of rear admirals on the ac-
tive list, which is eighteen

SPLIT ON PROGRAM
Conflict Between House and
Senate May Delay Anti
Trust Legislation.
CONSIDER DIFFERENT BILLS
Lack of Harmony Shown by Actions
of Comnittees-To Submit
Matter to President.

Washington, Feb. 11-Determina-
ton of the house interstate and for
eign commerce committee to disre-
gard the Interstate Trade Commission
bill pending in both branches of con-
gress and to frame an entirely new
measure, may result in further COM
plications in the administration anti
trust legislative program.
Thus far the senate and house in
terstate commerce committees have
not been cooperating in consideration
of the trade commission proposal, the
senate committee having under con-
sideration for amendment the original
Trade Commission bill drafted by the
house judiciary subcommittee.
Senator Newlands and his col
leagues have conferred with the Pres
1dent on that measure and now are
engaged in perfecting it, Jurisdiction
in the house as to the trade commits
sion having been transferred from the
judiciary to the interstate commerce
committee, Representative Adamson
has appointed a subcommittee to draft
another bill on the same subject.
: Thus the house eventually will have
under consideration one measure,
while senators are at work on an
other, unless Influences are brought
to bear to have the committees CO.
operate in their deliberations before
the revised measures are reported.
President Wilson may be appealed
to in the interest of harmony and ex-
peditious action. The President is
said to believe that the country ex-
poets and is awaiting early action on
trust regulation, and to feel that all
differences relating to the powers of
the proposed trade commission can
be adjusted without friction.

Only Five Minutes Required to
Return Verdict in Big
Damage Suit.
WILD DEMONSTRATION IN
COURT WHEN TRIAL ENDED
Mrs. Gore and Her Husband Warmly
Congratulated Over Outcome of
Case-Message Received From
President Wilson.

Oklahoma City, Ok.-The jury in the
$4,000 damage suit brought by Mrs
Minnie z. Bond of this city against
United States Senator Gore returned
a verdict for the defendant after be-
ing out less than five minutes.
The verdict in favor of Senator
Gore was unanimous. To those wait
ing in the court room it seemed the
Jurymen had scarcely left the room
until they came back ready to an
nounce a verdict.
Feeling that a quick verdict would
result, the crowd had waited in the
courtroom AS soon as the result was
announced the audience gathered
about the senator and his wife and
showered them with congratulations.
Shouts of "Hurrah for Gore!" waving
of hats and stamping of feet greeted
the reading of the verdict by Judge
Clark
AS soon as Judge Clark completed
short talk to the jury, expressing
confidence in the business of the YER
dict and the conduct of its members
throughout the whole trial, and had
adjourned court, the blind senator and
Mrs. Gore began shaking hands with
the jurors. The senator placed his
arm about the necks of some of the
men, so happy was he over the result.
President Woodrow Wilson was one
of the first to send his congratula-
lions to Senator Gore after the YER
dict was returned An hour later this
telegram came from the White House,
signed by Mr. Tumulty, the Presi-
dents secretary:
-Heartiest atulations.-Tumul-
ty"
Asked if he had any statement for
the press as to the outcome, Senator
Gore replied that he simply wished to
say that the result was as he antici-
pated and that he had no doubt he
would receive vindication at the hands
of mis- fellow citizens in Oklahoma.
When asked if he contemplated prose
cution of the persons back of the dam
age suit for conspiracy, the senator
replied that he had not discussed that
matter with his lawyers and was not
prepared at this time to make any
statement as to what his future course
would be.
