AMERICAN CITIZENS

Government to Furnish First Class
Passage.

London, Sept. 1S.-Because she
thought as an American citizen she
was. entitled to first class accommoda-

of third class, as was offered her, a
woman refugee declared a hunger
strike in the rooms of the American
resident committee at the Savoy to-
day. and said she would not bulge
until she got what she wanted.
Some. members of the committee be-
gan to fear they had second Mrs.
Pankhurst on their hands, but H. c..
Hoover. the chairman, thought other
wise and let the woman alone. She sat
in the hotel all day, and even saw some
of the committee eating sandwiches a.
noon.
Around o'clock this afternoon, Mr.
Hoover gave her 4 shillings for good
dinner and the woman accepted. She
was told she could have her steerage
ticket when she came back tomor-
row.

BURNED CORK CHARGE
PUT GERMANS TO FLIGHT

Paris. Sept 1S.-Some of the French
soldiers have discovered that the Ger
mans are very unwilling to face the
black troops from Senegal sa. eu
Taking advantage of this fact they
have carefully blackened their faces

enemy.
THIS, added to the horrible yells to

ANERICUS HOUSE
RECEIVED ORDER
TO BUY A BALE:
COMES FROM CHICAGO FIRM
To Substitute Cotton Bags
For Jute

The "Buy-a-Bale" movement con-

there came telegram yesterday from
the Quaker Oats Co. to the MoreIand-
Jones Co., of Americas, to buy for their
account at ten cents per pound bale
of cotton and display same, as other
business houses are doing.
This company manufactures Cracker
Mule Feed, brand so generaliy used
here, and, to the end of furthering the
movement in cotton, WILL in future
put up it's product in cotton sacks, in
stead Of iute.
Already the Quaker Oats Co. has
placed an order for one million of
these cotton bags for immediate de-
livery, at a cost for cotton approx
mately of 100000. This is a most
commendable step, and similar to the
7 action taken years ago when the
South switched from iute bagging %

The alternative has been placed before the officials of such cities and towns, either to pay such rates of interest or to permit much needed public improvements of a general character to fail for lack of assistance by the cities.
 To deny the property owner to give lien on his prop. .rty, either in the shape of deed of trust, mortgage or bonds (which is nothing more nor less than notes) is taking away the rights of a citizen.
