PATENTED NEW HENS NEST.

According to one Dunn county paper
Ole X. Olson, of Killdeer is interested
in the manufacture of new hen nest
which he has recently patented. The
nest is of such construction that When
a hen lays an egg the egg drops into
a box underneath the nest. In this
way the ;lens cannot destroy the eggs
and the danger Of the eggs becoming
spoiled is obviated and the device will
be especially handy in warm weather.

Another good feature of the nest
which we do not think Mr. Olson has
overlooked, is that when the hen sees
that there is no egg in the nest to
cackle over she will naturally get the
impression that sac never laid one at
all. and turn around and lay another,
thus making two eggs grow where one
grew before. The patent will no
doubt prove success if the hens
can lOld out.

Sheriff Galloway Sunday morning
was notified to look out for John
Moore, "a years old, black, clean
shaven, feet inches high, weigh

hill of High Springs at Burnett's
Lake Saturday night.
Mr.. Paulhill was a watch inspector
for the Coast Line. The negro OBJ
tanned a watch from him by claiming
he was in the employ of the road, and
it is supposed that Mr.. Paulhill was
trying to recover the watch when
killed. One shot was fired, the bullet
striking him just over the right ear.
He was found by the crew Of No. 81,
lying in pool of blood, with parts of
his brains spattered around him.
Mr.. Paulhill's relatives live near
Fort White. He was a single man,

END OF WAR IS
ONLY A MONTH AWAY

The New York Offices of the Ham,
burg-American Line and the North
German Lloyd have, it is reported,
notified their officials if they wanted
a vacation they would have to take it
before June /, as after that date
there would not be time for it. Those
officials, who were laid of during the
war, were also notified to hold them
selves in readiness to resume busi-
ness. All of which leads to the con-
clusion that the end of the war by
June 1 is certainly expected.-Trans-

LATEST ENGINES
OF DESTRUCTION


The Belgian official committee ap-
pointed to investigate reported viola
tions Of international law has report
ed in detail on the German nse Of as
phyxiating gases. It is stated that
gaseous clouds, extending 300 feet
into the air, were carried away from
the German lines by the wind. The
clouds were green IN color at the
base, gradually shading to light yell
low toward the top. Several kinds
Of gases appear to have been used,
including chlorine, the nitrous vapors
Of sulphuric anhydride and others the
nature of which has not yet been de-
termined.
Four methods were employed, the
report states, in generating these
gases. The first was to light fires In
the first line of trenches and permit
the wind to blow the gas formed to-
wards the allies lines. Three other
methods involved enclosing the gas in
some kind Of missile. These included
cans thrown either by hand or mine
howitzers, cylinders Of compressed
gas, or shells containing compounds
which were transformed into gas
when they exploded.
The effects Of the fumes were felt
at a distance of half mile They pro-
duced a Lind Of stupor which lasted
for three or four hours. A German
prisoner belonging to the Sixteenth
army corps who was taken on April
Is said gas cylinders were placed
along the entire front held by this
corps. There was one every six feet
and men specially instructed in their
use were told OF to see that they pro-
duced the desired effect There were
provided with smoke helmets Respi-
rators were distributed to all the sol

AUSTRIA CONTINUES To
D|CKER WITH ITALY
RENEWED EFFORTS BY VIENNA To MAKE SETTLE
MENT WITH ROME
ed Press)
(Associated Press)

Rome, May 3.-A Vienna dispatch
to the Tribuna, regarded as reliable,
says that Count Agentor Goluchow-
ski, former Austro-Hungarian for
eign minister, leaves Immediately for
Rome on special government mis-
sion. This may presage renewed ef-
forts to prolong negotiations with
Italy.
ITALY MAKES HER OWN TERMS
From persons in close touch with
the situation information has been
obtained that Italy has reached an un-
derstanding with Great Britain and
France concerning the terms on which
she will enter the war, if she even
tually decides to do so. This infor-
nation, unofficial but gathered from
close students of the pending nego-
tiations, sets forth the terms of the
agreement as follows:
First, a provision fer concerted
military action. Italy will refrain
from hostilities during the present
stage of desultory trench warfare,
which would enable Germany and
Austria to concentrate large part
of their forces against her. She will
time her blow contemporaneously with
a general effort by all the opponents
of the central empires now in the
field.
Second, an understanding concern
ing the territory to be awarded to
Italy in the event of victory.
"Third, provision that after the
war nn alliance shall be formed be-
tween Italy and the preesnt triple en-
tente. Great Britain, France and Rus
sia."
1t is estimated that at the outset
Great Britain was. not disDosed to
make terms with Italy, but that Italy
firmly declined to consider joining the
allies without first having reached
definite agreement with them concern
ing the nature and time of her CO.
operation, boundary readjustments
after the war and permanent assist
ance from the allies. Italy is said to
have received powerful assistance
from French diplomacy in reaching
the desired understanding on these
points.
