bling shanties afterward stated that
tremor followed tremor from about
o'clock last night until shortly be-
fore nine.
At the first tremor the people in
the valley towns rushed into streets.
Lighting plants were almost instantly
put out of commission and the in

ness to open places, where they
camped for the night.

This historic lunch counter cry
echoed through the Chicago & North
western depot today when the first
lunch car ever operated in the west
was attached to the "gof special"
Chicago's SWEETEST suburban train.
The golf special leaves Chicago
at noon and it was to give the out
bound golfers a chance to pick up
lunch on the way to the links that
inspired the lunch counter car.
1t is equipped with a long white
enameled counter running the entire
length of the car with row of high
seats in front. Behind the counter
are a half dozen walters handy at
assembling a half minute meal and
the best of lunch counter fare is
offered. The innovation is expected
to be big success.

AMERICAN SHIP FOUNDERS IN
 THE NORTH SEA
Daring Captain Farley, Who Brave'a Mines and English
 Navy, Loses Vessel.

Amsterdam, April 3--The Weser Zeitung of Bremen states the Amer- ican steamer Green Brier has found- cred in the north sea. .@~'
 The crew was saved, being landed at Amrum and Fohr islands, off the west coast of Schleswig- -Holstein.
 The Green E'rier is a 3300 ton steamer owned by the Canon Steam ship company of New York. She was under the command of Capt. P 5. Farley.
 The vessel twice figured in news dispatches in the war zone. Captain Farley's feat of threading the mine area off Bremen earned him the ccmmel1dation of mariners every where. The second mention of the Green Brier came on the return of that ship to New York, when it was learned that Captain Farley had pro- fanely refused to haul down his flag at the behest of an English naval officer, whose ship had stopped the American.
 "I'll be damned if l will," is the phrase Captain Farley is quoted as saying. The Green Brier was taken to Leith, but afterwards was releas- ed by the British admiralty.

SEASH0RE TOWN MAKING FIGHT MI A IN IVH1
 AGAINST FLOOD
After an All-Day. Battle Against Fire, Seabright, N.
 J., People Combat Seas.

Seabright. N. J., April 3.-After an all-day fight with fire and flood, Sea bright tonight is at the mercy of huge seas which, lashed to fury by the gale, menace the bulkheads.
 At the height Of a 60-mile gale to- day, fire started in boarding house locatec ii, the center of large group of frame building. Only by heroic work by local fremen, aided by com panies from Long Branch and Rum son, which answered to call for aid were the flames prevented from sweeping over a wide area. At the same time, 30-foot waves crashing asa1ist the bulkheads threatened tc undermine and shatter them.
 Outside the boarding house where the fire started, flying sparks set fire to the Walsh hotel, which was con- siderably damaged. As soon as the flames were under control, the fire figtrers went to work bolstering up the bulkheads.

RUSSIA PRESENTS
 ITALIAN AMBITIONS
Italy Notified Net t0 Attempt to Sc. cure Too Much TerritOry-ln Car. pathians Austrians Suffer Severe
 ly, Losing 1000.

Petrograd, April 3.--It is stated that General AieXiefr, General Ivanoff's chief of staff, is to succeed General RusZky as commander-in in-chief of the western Russian army.
 Sensational disclosures explaining the recent disastrous rout of the Rus sian Tenth army corps in the Mazur- ian lakes fighting, were hinted at in official circles tonight, following the official announcement that Col. Mia soyedoff had been proved to be a German spy and was hanged after a trial by courtmartial.
 Several of Miasoyedoff's alleged ac- complices are in custody, the war of- flee announced A thorough investi- gation is being made of their cases, and it is possible the world may soon know why an entire Russian army corps was cut to pieces and nearly an- initiated in the swamps.

SERYIANS REPEL
 FRONTIER ATTACK Bulgarians Leave 80 Dead on Field When Pursued
 by Late Allies. MAY INVOLVE OTHERS
Considered Likely That All Balkan Nations May Now Be Drawn Into the War, Since One Has Cast.
 Lot with TPutOns.

London, April 3.-Bulgaria has en- tered the war on the side of the Teu- tonic allies, and it is entirely within the possibility that all the Balkan na- tions may become involved.
 An official statement given out in Nish, the new capital of Servia, and received by the Servian legation here today, says:
 About 2 a. m. yesterday, Bulgarian irregulars in great numbers, wearing military uniforms, suddenly attacked the outer blockhouses at Valandovo.
 Our surviving frontier guard. over whelmed by superior numbers, had to fall back toward the railroad station of Strumitza.
 By , o'clock the Bulgarians occu- pied all the heights on the left bank of the River Vardar.
 "The fighting continues and the number of dead and wounded is con siderable OH both sides. "It is said the Bulgarians have tax en two Servian guns.
 "Wounded soldiers who have arriv- : ed. at the railroad station declare the :, Bulgarians maneuvred in the fight un- der the orders of officers. They form ed little more than a regiment and many believe they "are not irregulars at all, but regular troops from the Bulgarian army. "The frontier posts of the neigh borhood have arrived to help and de- tails will be forwarded as soon as they come to hand. Photographic and IA ,,r1io inn with ntpW6. feli and Salonika is interrupted.
 The agency dispatch of the Balkans in Paris publishes two dispatches from Nish, confirming the news, ana adding:
 "The Bulgarians left 80 killed on the ground and carried back a great num- | Der of wounded. The Servian losses were 60 killed and greater hummer wounded. The Servians pursued the Bulgarians up to the frontier" a. Germany Applies Pressure. Since the beginning of the war, the allies. Germany and Austria, Italy, and even Turkey, have made over- lures to Bulgaria, owing to the strate> gic position she occupies.
 Field Marshal von der Goltz was the last envoy whose arrival was reported at Sofia, the Bulgarian capital. He reached there on March %, and 1t was reported he presented proposal from Turkey to cede Adrianople, Kirk Kilisseh and other important towns to Bulgaria in return for continued neutrality.
 Turkeys offer is said to have in cluded the restoration of the Enos- Midia line, giving Bulgaria the terri tory she had prior to the treaty or Constantinople signed at the conclu- sion of the second Balkan war.
 It was reported in Vienna that the czar had sent Prince Troubetskoy 10 Belgrade to patch up peace between Bulgaria and Servia over Macedonia This conference plainly did not bring

British Press Almost Unani- nous in Opinion that Spir-
 it's Will Be Barred.
LONDON PROS. USE
 ADS. EFFECTIVELY
One Page Appeal in Newspapers Re. suits in 10000 Letters to LlOyd- George in Favor of Absolute Pro-
 hibitiOp During Period of War.

London, April 3.The government decision on the drink question is an ticipated early the coming week.
 The British press is now almost unanimous in the opinion that the government action will include total prohibition of spirits.
 During the last day Or two there has been a growing agitation among a certain class in favor of allowing the working man still to have ms beer, which, as everybody knows, is the ancient staple drink of England It is just possible that the govern ment may make this concession. but if this is done, all classes will DC warned that continuation of excessive drinking will result in absolute pro- hibtion.
 1t is not at all certain, however that the government will listen tc the appeal. for the retention of beer, especially in view of the no uncertain voice of those representing the best interests of the nation; who express a willingness to abstan from alcoho in any form during the war
 Only yesterday the majority of the London newspapers carried a page advertise ment appealing to the pub lie to write to the chancellor of the exchequer. Lloyd George, declaring in flavor of the suspension of the manu- facture and sale of intoxicating liquors during the war"
 Up to tonight some 4O,OOO letters had been delivered at the chancel .lor's residence in response to the advertisement.

Russia Warns Italy.

London, April 3.-The attitude of Russia concerning Italy's territorial aspiration is defined in semi-official announcement from Petrograd which assumes special significance because of Italy's warlike preparations and the efforts to adjust the boundary question with Austria.
 Russia, in effect, expresses sympa- thy with Italy's desire to obtain the territory about the head of the Adri- atic inhabited chiefly by Italian stock, which would include the provinces of Trent and Trieste. Russia would not oppose still further expansion, but warns Italy not to press her claims which might bring on another conflict later.
