RESIDENT OF CASS
COUNTY II YEARS
CLAIMS HE is NOT
CITIZEN OF U. S

Z" Fargo, N. D.. Sept. 26.-The patti
ence Of County Auditor W. r. Tuck
er,%,clerk of the Cass county selective
draft board, was stirred to a boiling
point yesterday whenea young man of
military age, who has been a resident
of the country for II years. wanted to
file a claim of exemption because he
was not a citizen of the United States.
The auditor turned on the man and
a bombardment from his trench was
a lesson which every alien in the
United States should have heard. Liv-
ing in a country which has protected
him for II years and then when call
ed upon to serve the nation and to
claim exemption because not a citizen
was termed a yellow streak by the
auditor.
IT wish the United States congress
would put into law the joint resolu-
ton which it adopted few weeks
ago." said the auditor, "that all peo-
allied with neutraltcountries after one
years residence and claimining ex-
emption on ground of not being a
citizen. should be given 90 days in
which to leave the country"
It is estimated that in Cass county
there r 100 men who have claimed
exemption because they are not citi-
zens Of the United States. It has
been estimated hat there are 1.O00,-
900 men of military in the Unit
Led States who are aliens.
In several instances, the auditor has
talked the matter over with aliens
and when they understood conditions,
they asked to have the clerk help
them take out their first papers. Ma
tu~ralization papers, of course, are re-
fused subjects of Germany.

Wichita, Kan.-At least thirty per

more than fifty have received injuries

swept through Sedgwick and Harvey
counties in the south central part of

toll before the storm, which was &C
companied by a binding rain, bore on

The country southeast of Newton
furnished the remaining fatalities,
shree lives being lost five miles from

May Mean Opening Of Eostill-

ITALIANS MOVING FORWARD
Are Making Spirited Efforts t o Break
Through the Austrian Line To-
ward Triest.

London. Aside from the Austro
Italian theater of war, especially the
southeastern sector where the Italians
are making spirited efforts to break
through the Austrian line toward
Triest, little fighting of consequence
is taking place.
Artillery duels continue between
the French and the Germans in tile
Champagne region of France, while
along the front held by the British the
operations are mainly by small raiding
parties.
On the eastern front the Russian
artillery fire against the Austrians is
increasing, probably presaging the ap:
proach of hostilities and on a great
scale.
In the vicinity of Jamiano the Ital.
ians have captured fortified Austrian
trenches and along the Julian front
have made further gains and consoli-
dated positions previously taken. +
Vienna asserts Sundays attacks by
the Italians nea Jamiano were re-
pulsed and that ear Castagnievizza
attempts at an advance by the Ital-
ians failed. 1t asserts also that the
Italian casualties have been very
heavy, the ground before the Austrian
position being covered with Italian
dead. More than $4,000 Italians had
been captured up to Sunday, the state
ment says, 1000 of them having been
made prisoner on the Carso plateau.
British airmen are continuing to
operate extensively against the Ger
mans in France. Twelve German ma
chimes were destroyed in fights in the
air Monday and ten others we're sent
to the ground out of control.
Another machine fell victim to Brit
ish anti-aircraft guns. Three British
machines failed to return to their
base

London.-A feet Of German air raid
ers in their latest attack on England
inflicted the greatest toll of dead in
any aerial sally since the start of the
war. Sixteen aircraft participated.
Their total list of victims, as an.
nounced by Lord French, commander
of the home defense forces, was sew
enty-six killed and 174 injured.
The dead include twenty-seven won.
en- and twenty-three children.
Among the injured we're ninety
three women and nineteen children,
Lord French stated.
The raid occurred over the south
eastern counties and most of the dam
age was done in one town.
On their return from the raid over
England the German air fleet encoun-
tered a number of British royal naval
air service machines. Over the sea a
thrilling encounter ensued, one Brit
ish airplane engaging three hostile
planes. One of the latter was de.
,stroyed.
= Encounters between British sea-
planes and German craft along the
Belgian coast were reported and in

chimes were downed. s

does started near Willisville, in South
ern Illinois, swept southwark across
the Ohio river into Kentucky, down the
mississippi into Arkansas and Ten.
nessee, and finally veered eastward
toward Alabama, where the storm ap.
parently spent itself.
The dead in the four Southern
states is roughly estimated at 100 and
the injured at several hundred.
Wire communication into the dis
tricts swept by the storm is democrat
lied and only meager reports of the
loss of life and the property damage
have been received.
The destruction began several days
ago in Andale, Kan, where twenty-siS
people were killed and sixty injured.
Later a tWister, probably the most
severe of the series, struck the rich
corn belt Of Central Illinois, killing
tlfty-four persons and injuring perhaps
500 in Nation. At Charleston, ten

Another destructive storm crossed
81 territory approximately one hundred
miles north of the center Of Illinois,
reached into Northern Indiana and
caused the loss of many lives, the in

erty damage.
Recoveries of bodies Of the dead,

Earliest Use of Mineral Ink,

In ancient times india ink, made
from lampblack and glue, was used
for writing on papyri, but inspection
of the earliest vellum or parchment
MSS. shows that iron gall inks were
introduced not later than the ninth
century. The reason for the change
was that, although a carbon ink is
more permanent, it has no penetrating
power and can be ssponged from the
vellum, whereas the iron ink bites into
the ibers and resists the destructive
action of both air and light.
