ALLIES ALARMED BY
CARRANzA'S MOVE
TEUToN HAND SEEN BACK OF OIL
LAND ATTACK AND NATIONS
FEAR WELLS WILL BE LOST.
Federal Army Sent to Drive Rebel
Band From Strip Near Tampico
and San Luis Potosi.

Washington.-Allied nations of two
hemispheres are apprehensive over
Carranzas latest move to drive Man
uel Palaez and his little rebel band
out of the oil fields near Tampico. This
international alarm is based on the
feeling that Carranzas apparent deter
mination is caused by the influence Of
Germany. 1t is felt that the turn in
procedure may prove embarrassing to
enemies of the Kaiser General Man
uel Dieguez has been sent to the field
at the head Of a considerable force
with orders to clear the country be-
tween San Luis Potosi and TampiCo
of rebels. Official reports reaching
Washington indicates the effectiveness
of his work. Already he has defeated
one body of rebel troops and killed
Magdalena Cedillo, one of the two Ce'
dillo brothers who long have been the
leaders of the revolutionists in that
part of Mexico. Unless ordered to
change, it is understood General Die.

SAMMIES IN Trench
SUFFER CASUALTIES
GERMAN FORCES SHELL AMERI.
CANS KILLING AND WOUND
ING A NUMBER.
Large Shell Strikes Position When
They Take To cover-Victims
Taken To Base Hospital.

With the American Army in France.
"A number of American soldiers have
been killed or wounded in the recent
shelling of the American trenches by
the Germans. One she'll which drop
ped into a trench was the cause of
several casualties. The American
artillery fire has been heavy recently
and there is good reason to believe
that it has accounted for a consider
able number of the enemy.
A number of American infantry, suf-
fering from shell wounds, have arrived
at the base hospital. All the casuali-
ties were caused by the same shell.
A group of Americans were in a
shack in the reserve when the Ger
mans began shelling heavily. The
officers ordered the men to a dugout,
but before they could get there large
shell dropped on the position and ex-
ploded. American artillerists concen-
trated their fire on the communicating
trenches of the enemy and it is be-
lieved their shells caused considerable
casualties and damage.

SELL THE GENUINE COLD TEA
S"lndlino 5ootIeggers Are Successful
ly Playing a Confidence Game In
Dry Oregon.

No one will sympathlze with the IL
Ilcit buyer Of whisky who uncorks his
bottle in thirsty anticipation, only to
md that it is filed with cold tea, says
Portland exchange. For one thing,
this subterfuge of bOOtleggers is al
most as old as the hills. 1t no more
ought to fool a reader Of the days
news than the ancient gold brick or
sick engineer swindle,
The operation of the scheme has
been standardized. 1t is always the
same. The purveyOr offers the custom
er bottle of ''tea," and winks know
ingly. The deal is made and the party
of the second part some time thereaft-
er Is highly indignant because he got
precisely what he contracted for.
The buyer, of course, knew in the
beginning that he was making himself
party to violation of the law. If he
had been law abiding he would not
have been cheated. 1t is so with most
confidence games. The fellow who
puts up his money for a supposed
bunch of green goods" guaranteed to
defy detection, thinks he is going to
make some "easy money" At heart he
is so much law breaker as the man
who swindles him. He sometimes pays
a high price for experience, but it Is
worth the price if it teaches him that
law breaking from any angle seldom
pays In the end.

SHARPEST CRISIS OF CAREER
Parliament May Voice Lack of Conf
dence And Force Lloyd George To
Give Up Office.

London.-Premier Lloyd George, on
his return from his hurried trip to con-
suit and hearten Great Britain's ally,
Italy found himself face to face with
the sharpest crisis of his career as
Prime Minister. The crisis is one
which may result possibly in vote of
lack of confidence by Parliament, which
would be followed automatically by
his resignation. No action taken by
any British Government since the be-
ginning of the war has caused such a
maelstrom of criticism, speculation
and symptoms of uneasiness as the an
nouncement of the formation of an In
ternatio1al War Council, composed of
Cabinet Ministers of Great Britain.
France and Italy, with a Military Com
mittee representing the three nations,

.FLOODGATES OPENED
ON GERMAN FORCES
PIAVE AND sILE RIVERS POWER.
Full DIKES LET Go-sWEEP
LoW-LYING DISTRICTS.
Teutons Were Swept of Their Feet,
With Area They Invaded Turn
ed Into a Lake.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London.-A ruse of war-as old as
war itself, but ever successful-has
been played by the Italians on the
Teuton left wing at the mouth of the
Piave. There, in the marshy fiat
lands, zigzagged by many bays and Ia
goons, just east of Venice, Teuton
vanguards have been "tiltering
through" across the river for several
days. Emboldened by the compare
lively weak resistance, they advanced
farther and farther, taking neat foot
hold in the triangle between San
Dona di Piave, Porte de Piaye Necchia
and the Piave's mouth. From this
triangle was to be launched the north.
westward thrust designed to out1ank
the Italian main forces along the west
bank of the river.
Suddenly, the commander of the
Italian Engineer Corps, that had
been secretly busy as bees for
two weeks in this region, gave sig
nal. Translated into good Yankee
talk it meant: Let 'er CO." Down
went the powerful dikes, which for
many decades have held in check the
waters of two rivers, the Piave and
the Sile. All across the low-lying
plains swept by the floods, impetu-
ously, irresistibly, like a sea devour-
ing the coast on a typhoon-spree. The
rush started at the very point where
the Teutons had managed to cross the
River Grisolora, four miles from the
coast, and surged all over the tri-
angle, whose sides are nearly 15 miles
wide. The Teutons were swept off
their feet, and the area which they
had invaded has been turned into a
lake.
1t is a repetition, on a small scale,
of the Belgian ruse on the User.
Those of the Teutons who could not
get back in time inevitably perished.
Thus the Italians have, for the pres
ent at least, safeguarded their right
wing But up in the mountains, where
the foe is trying to cut to their rear
in far more menacing flanking move,
and where there are no foodgates to
be opened, things admittedly look
grave.

About Envelopes.

1t is said that envelopes were in
vented during the early days Of Louis
XIV Of France. In 1890 NJ. De VAL
lyer established a private post and
placed boxes at the corner Of the
streets for letters inclosed in envel-
Opes that were sold In Offices estab-
lished for that purpose. 1t seems
likely, however, that envelopes were in
use before this period because envel-
Opes so used in France were special
postpaid ENVELOPES. But precisely
what year Is marked by the first inven-
ton Of envelopes is unknown.

London.-German light cruisers
which fled through Helogland Blight
before British warships of similar
type were pursued to within 80
miles of Helgoland, where they
came under the protection of the Ger

Admiralty announced. One of the

flames and the machinery Of another
seemed to be damaged. One German
mine sweeper was sunk. The British
light forces returned without losses,
with but little damage to the ships and
slight casualties among the personnel.

gestion was a simple solution of the
difficulty-the twin screw.

ecuting orders for the Bureau OF
Ordnance and Quartermaster Depart
ment of the army in general orders
made public by those departments.
Attention is called to the fact that in
the haste to deliver the needed war
materials care must be exercised lest
the safeguards with which the people
of this country have sought to protect
labor should be unwisely and unneces-
sarily broken down. Industrial his
tory proves that reasonable hours, fair
working conditions and proper wage
scale are essential to high production"
said the statement.
During the war every attempt
should be made to conserve in every
way possible all Of our achievements
in the way of social betterment. The
Department wishes to be assured that
schedules of hours obviously eXces-
siVe, or wage scales distinctly unfair
or working conditions such as should
not be tolerated, will certainly be
brought to its attention" The state
ment says circumstances are not such
as tN render appropriate the issuance
of definite orders on this subject at
this time, and that mo effort is made
to establish or even suggest, definite
rules of conduct" 1t is recommend
ed that standards of wages already es-
tablished in the industry and the To-
cality should not be lowered and that
the minimum wage rates should be
made in proper relation to the cost of
