Sarrail Protected Himself.

Q. "why. when Gen. Sarrairs troops
were forced to retire from Serbia upon
Saloniki, and King Constantine could
easily have destroyed the allied army.
did he protect both tanks Of the French
and the British from the Germans and
the Bulgarians?''
A This question would be amusing
If it were not so clumsily charged with
deceit. Never at any time could Con-
stantine have destroyed the splendidly
equipped and numerically stronger
army OF Gen. Sarraii. That able strate-
gist protected his army by destroying
the bridge at Demir Hissar. the bridge
of Ourora and the tunnel of Demir-
Kapou. Further, the king knew that
he dared not destroy the army Of Gen.

School Believed De-

Bismarck, N. D., April 5.-Incen-
diarism for which no possible justi-
fication can be found is believed to
have been responsible for the de-

ing at Medora which H. N. Reade,
deputy state fire marshal, now is in
vestigating.
The building was burned to the
ground after previous attempt,
made the night before, had failed.
been removed from the windows by
the teacher were restored by the
destroyers, in order that residents
in the neighborhood Of the school
might not see the flames, and a
large section of flooring in the VI
cinity Of the stove was saturated
with oil and ignited. The flames
burned out after consuming space
of about six feet, and the damage
was not discovered until school was
opened the following morning
Tracks were found, and the hoof-
prints of a horse believed to have
been ridden by the firebug were
traced to point two miles from
the school house.
And that night the incendiarist
returned and completed the job.
There had been some little argu-
ment as to the location of the school,
which is now situated on the east
side Of the Little Missouri. A ma
jolity of taxpayers wanted school
on the west side of the river, and
the school board recently had voted
to comply with their wishes and
build a new school there. This
friction, therefore, can hardly be
held responsible for the destruction
of the old school building.
= While in the western part Of the
state, Deputy Reade also investigat-
ed the burning of school at South
Heart.

KINDRED LADY SAID.
TO Be MISSING

Kindred Tribune: Mrs. Albert
Jordet left home three weeks ago
yesterday morning and since then
nothing has been known as to her
whereabouts.
She left home, saying she was
going to Fargo to have some dental
work done and to visit awhile with
relatives. On the morning of her
departure she was accompanied to
NE train by her husband and other
relatives nothing unusual was no.
ticed in her behavior.
Her health has been rather poorly
of late and it is thought that this
coupled. with imaginary troubles
over which she brooded has caused
her mind to become unbalanced.
When Mr.. Jordet learned several
days afterwards that she was not
at Fargo, he at once began to search
for her as did also several other OF
her relatives as we'll as the sheriff
and other officers, but up to- the
present time no trace has been
found of her.
It is a most unfortunate occur
ance, and Mr.. Jordet is entirely at
loss to explain the matter, as there
never was the least bit of discord in
their domestic affairs.
