Has Invention to
Fill Front Seats
in All Churches

\ SHELBYVILI.E, Ind, Nov. IL
Douglas Dobbins, poet and author Of
Shelbyville, has now entered the
field of invention. He has an inven-
ton which he says, will fill the front
seats at church.
Dobbins has observed for some time
that the front part Of all churches
from the pulpit one-third or one-half
the way back to the rear is never oc-
cupied except on very rare occasions.
This space, he says, constitutes a
sort of mo mans land" from the
place where the "big guns" as it
were, is stationed back to the
trenches"
He has therefore, perfected hori-
zontal bar that is placed at the en-
trance of each row of pews except
the first one. The bars have this pc
culiarity however: They all remain
perfectly rigid and immovable until
the ushers have filled the first rows
of seats. Then the bar guarding the
second row of seats automatically re-
leases and disappears permitting the
second row to be filled with peo-
pie.
The invention is so complete and
self-protecting that If any individual
attempts to climb over the bar and in
du1ge in the lifelong passion Of dropp-
ing into the first rear seat he comes
to, 1arga boot slips out from under
the seat and Immediately proceeds to
eject him from the church In the old
fashioned manner. The machinery
will not operate in the case Of wom-
an however.

Drafted Men With
Dependents Safer
Under New Rules

WASHINGTON. Nov. 17.-Men OF
draft age with dependent relatives
are placed in a more secure position
under the new regulations to govern
further operations OF the selectlve
service law made public today by
Provost Marshal General Crowder-
While the third classification under
the new plan, which replaces all dis
charge for exemption certificates, may
be revoked when granted for any other
cause there is no way in which men
with dependents can be called up for
service out of their turn.
Adder protection for dependents Is
secured by the requirement in cases
where the registrant seeks to waive
his deferred classification status that
waivers also must be obtained from
those dependent upon him before he
can be taken into the military service
The effect of the regulations Is to
close the ranks of the army, navy, or
marine corps absolutely to men be-
tween 81 and 81 years of age where
they have dependents upon them who
would suffer if they went to the front
Local boards are constituted judges OF
all such cases.
For the first time also a way is pro
yided in which men physically unfit
ted for front line duty in the army yet
able to do some part of the work OF
soldier may be called for limited
service behind the lines. Partial ply
sical exemptions may be granted by
local boards to create this new classi
fication.

Artillery Clash With Foe In
creases In Intensity-Sev-
eral Casualties Reported In
Lively Fighting.
,.PATROLL|NG IS ACTIVE

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE. Friday, Nov. 16-(By A. P.)
The artillery fighting in the sector
held by American troops has become
even more lively and there have been
further casualties, shrapnel wounding
some men in the trenches.
An enemy shell hit an American gun
today and caused casualties. Some
of the men wounded in the blast two
days ago have died
The American batteries have been
firing rapidly in return. The visi-
bility is becoming better and 1t Is con-
sidered certain that more danger and
casualties have been caused in the
German lines than the Germans have
inflicted on the Americans. Patrol
ing continued actively last night.
See First Air Fight.
The American troops witnessed their
first aerial encounter today. Three
enemy airplanes appeared overhead
Soon all of them except one fled at
the approach of five French machines
One of the Frenchmen outmaneuvered
this German and got on his tail"
The German aviator then bolted.
The rattle of machine guns finally
died away as the two airplanes disap-
peared to the west.
The French general commanding the
sector has mentioned in the dispatch
es Is American officers and soldiers
including three who were killed, for
excellent military qualities and for
bravery displayed in the recent trench
raid.

Cali -Curci Quiets Stampede
When Bomb is Found in Theater

the gaspipe was taken said it contain
ed black powder and guncotton.
Harold Johnson, manager of the
Auditorium, said:
Il do not in any way want to mini
mize the seriousness of the affair.
Our Investigations have not yet dis
closed what the purpose was of the
placing of the bomb, II it was bomb,
in the theater. l am rather of the
opinion that it was the act of SOM
deluded person or crank. As near as
T am able to determine, 1t was net a
real bomb but OF the variety used by
moving picture concerns to make a
smudge.
1T is barely probable that some dis
gruntled German who objects to our
program Of eliminating German operas
took tonight's method of showing his
disapproval. I'm rather inclined to
discount this theory, as we have re-
ceived no protests in letters or other
wise. In fact, most of our German pat
rons of past years continue to attend
the operas"

KERENSKY,
vANQUISHED
IN BATTLE,
DISAPPEARS
Russian Premier. Deserted
BY Most of His Officers
and Men, is In Flight-His
Whereabouts Unknown.

(By Associated Press,


Defeated in battle by the BoIsheyi-
XII and deserted by most OF his own
officers and men, Premier Kerensky
is in flight and his whereabouts un-
known in Petrograd. The head OF
Russia's provisional government was
about to surrender to the Maximalists
under coercion when he disappeared.
In Moscow, the tide apparently has
turned and the Bolshevih are in con-
troll OF the ancient Russian capital
with the forces of the provisional gov
ernment besieged in the Kremlin. One
report says heavy artillery is being
used against the historic walls.
Another declared a truce between
government and Bolsheviki troops has
been arranged. Between 1000 and
5000 persons have been killed in Mos
COW since the outbreak of the revolt.
General Kaledines, leader of the Cos
sacks is reported approaching the
city with relief for the Kerensky fore
es. A third armed force supposed to
be composed Of released convictions
is said to be fighting both Bolshevik
and government troops.
No Sympathy for Kerensky.
Prior to his sudden flight Premier
kerensky had seen his force mostly
Cossacks, defeated by the Bolsheviki
near Tsarskoe-Selo now in the hands
of the revolutionists. The Bolsheviki
troops were commanded by members
of the old aristocracy and former
army officers.
A traveller returned from the Cau-
casus reports that while conditions in
most provinces are not abnormal,
there is nc sympathy with Premier
Kerensky He believes that the Rvs
sian people want a leader who will
maintain authority and order The
Cossacks in Kuban, Astrakhan and
the Don region have united and form
ed their own government

mountainous region except around
Cismon in the Sugana valley north
east of Asiago.
The intense artillery duel contin-
ues along the Piave. The invaders
have been unable to make further

son is held on the rivers bank by the
| Italians.

patrolled the river on the Mexican
bank. in plain view of each other all
night. On the mesa above the riv-
er, the camp fires of the Villa troops
in the town of Ojinaga could be seen
plainly from Presidio.
Villas tired troops spent their
fourth night in the town last night
and are expected to leave today for
the desert again. Col. George T.
Langhorne, commander of the United
States forces here, carried out every
precautionary measure used when an
attack on the American town was ex-
pected, but the tenseness of the sit
uation appeared to have passed and
residents Of Presidio slept through
out the night without fear Of raid.
Fifty wounded Carranza and Villa
soldiers are in the temporary hospit-
al, many of them lying on the dirt
floors with scant covering.
From a border attack by Villas

entity developed into broader move

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE persons

gas pipe device. resembling bomb,
which became ignited and caused
brief panic in the Auditorium Theater,
last night, during the production of
the opera "Dinorah" by the Chicago
Grand Opera company. were being
sought today by federal, state and
city authorities.
The first warning came when a
small puff of white smoke COED up
from the middle of the main of the
theatre. Several larger puffs follow
ed and persons nearby rose from their
seats. Conductor Campanini ordered
the orchestra to play the Star Span
gled Banner" The big audience
checked its start for the exits and
when Galli-Curci, who sang the lead
ing role in the opera, stepped to the
front of the stage and began to sing
the national anthem, the miniature
panic was soon allayed.
Battalion Chief Corrigan of the fire
department, who was on duty in the
theatre hurried down the aisle as soon
as the smoke was noticed. picked up
the sizzling piece OF gas pipe, and ran
into the streets with it.
. Noticed Smoke First
I'VE could find no caps about it nor
could we learn that anyone had heard
detonation,' said Corrigan. THE
first thing noticed was the smoke and
the sulphurous odor that permeated
the theater.
"The device is made from a piece of
OF oio
about two inches in diameter. One
end is stuffed with paper One end
also may have contained a fuze but
it is burned away"

German Plays Are
Banned at ,Earlham

No German plays win be given at
Earlham college this year accord
inig to Prof. Arthur NJ Charles, OF
the German department. In the
past a German play has been pre-
sented by members Of the classes

The war and the fact that in
coming students at the college are
turning to other languages is given
as the reason by Prot Charles.
The classes are much smaller
this year than ever before and only
fifteen students are enrolled in the

farmer, who is chairman of the county

People talk about the conservation

winning of the war;" says Carson. Il
