PRINCE OF WALES "CURSED"
WHEN CAR Runs in TRUCK
(By Associated Press,)

PARIS, Dec. 29.-According to the
Cri de Paris, the Prince of Wales, of
Great Britain, while driving his au-
tomObile recently met with an acct
dent His automobile made an awk-
ward skid and ran into a French
truck.
While the automobile was damaged
to much greater extent than the
truck, the chauffeur and mechanic of
the French truck, who were unaware
of the identity of the prince, treated
him to choice selection of Partisan
slang and "cusses" for his clumsiness.
The prince laughed, but his orderly,
who was shocked, revealed the iden
tity of the English heir to the throne.
The prince gave the chauffeur S.,
but that did not quite sooth the feel
ings Of the Frenchman, because in tell
ing the story he says: AS a prince
he is corker, but as a chauffeur he
does not exist"

ENGLAND SETS EXAMPLE;
MUST PAY LARGE DAMAGES
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 20
Late today President Wilson declared
that England eventually will have to
pay heavy damages for the unlawful
detention of American cargoes. The
president said that so far as the prin-
ciple involved is concerned, there was
no debate on the point raised by the
United States, because England during
previous wars has taken a position ex-
actly similar to that now assumed by
the American government. The presi-
dent added that the note presented by
Ambassador Page today was not based
on treaty rights, but on the generally
accepted principles of international
law

was rendered.
Frank received the news of his first
victory since his arrest with evidences
of joy, and his wife, who was visiting
him In his cell, was overcome with
delight. All Frank would say was:
ITS long lane that has no turn
ing"
Solicitor Hugh Dorsay says that he
will urge the supreme court to adj
vance the case on its calendar and give
an early hearing. He did not know OF
any other steps he might take.
The granting of the appeal probably
will stop the food of letters and tele-
grams which have been pouring in
upon Governor Slaton, as the delay
will almost certainly prolong the case
until after he goes out of Office next
June and he will have no opportunity
to pass upon requests for clemency, if
such are resorted to in the attempt
to save Franks life.

ALLIES CONTENT TO
PLAY WAITING GAME

London, Oct 8.-With the exception
of the left wing of the allied army
where there is reason to believe that
lively actions are being fought. the
great battlefront in the western
arena of the war may be described as
a gigantic "sniping" engagement. in
which riflemen have been replaced by
batteries of heavy artillery masked
along the heights of the Aisne and
the Meuse. These desultory artillery
duels seem to have succeeded
the desperate infantry charges with
which, during the early stages of the
battle, both sides sought to clear out
the extended lines of entrenched hos
tile troops.
One result of the present stage oi
operations has been very appreciable
dimunition in the casualties. Observ
ers recently at the front declare that
the allies are well content to play
this waiting game; they now outnum
ber the Germans and for this reason
can give their troops rest, while the
invaders must keep their men con
stantly in the trenches.

Peking, Oct S.-According to a Ger.

nese force has occupied zap, the most
important island in the Caroline
group, or New Philippines, in the Pa
cific ocean, east of the Philippines.
The group comprises about $50 small
islands. zap is about 1000 miles
from the island if Mindanao, one of
the Philippine group. The Caroline
islands were sold by Spain to Ger.
many In 1899.
The railroad station at Gilman, in
Shangtung province, west OF Kiao-
chou, has been occupied by Japanese
soldiers.
A dispatch received here from Chi.
nan says no trains are running over
the Shantung railroad. Germans
from all along the line, including
women and children, have taken ref.
uge in Gilman.
The Japanese legation here says
siege guns are ready for an attack
on Tsingtau. The German garrison
will be summoned to surrender and
opportunity win be given noncom.
batants to come out. The American
legation in Peking has sent instruc
tions to w. r. Peck, the American
consul at Tsingtau, to come out.

TO RAID ALLIES LINE
OF COMMUNICATION

Paris, Oct. 8.-The fighting in the
north continues without change. This
was the only information obtainable
at military headquarters.
No details had been received of the
movement of the new German force
reported in the vicinity of Lille. II
is believed this force plans raid on
the British lines of communication
through the western seacoast towns
II is also accepted that measures
have been taken to check 1t, but OF
necessity no information along this
particular line Is obtainable.
The reports that the presence OF
this particular force had been follow
ed by a slackening of the attack on
Antwerp are characterized here as
absurd. These forces are first line
troops. Part of them are said to be
Austrians and they entered the field
of action, according to the reports OF
the aerial scouts, by rail from the di
rection of Cologne.

WOUNDED BLEED To
DEATH ON FIELD

Paris, Oct 7.-Reports from the
front say the scenes of suffering
among the wounded have so worked
on the nerves of the men that as far
as possible the trains carrying these
invalids are moved under cover oi
darkness.
This also has the added advantage
of preventing the extent OF casualties
being learned by the German air
scouts, who are extremely active de,
spite heavy losses
The sufferings of the wounded are
indescribable. Because of the con
stant fighting IL is impossible for the
Red Cross in a systematic manner To
gather those Who cannot reach the
rear Themselves. In consequence
many who might otherwise be saved
lie where they All and bleed to death
Others go insane from their suffer
ings, and the Wild screams of some OF
those on the hospital trains are blood
curdling as they pass through the
hospital camps.
