Geo Baird and Ira Mcclure had to
make IL mile trip out into the
country on Thursday afternoon with
some house furnishings. You will re-
member the wind was blowing cold
the most of the day Thursday, so the
trip was not as pleasant as might
have been.
Mr., R. S. Thompson for the KEY
stone corduroy people was here this
week. The Keystone factory is To-
Gated in Newburgh, n. Y, and is one
OF the factories that has been taken
over by the Government to work part
time on Government supplies alone
The Keystone people had a large
stock on hand and were able to fill
our orders for fall in full which puts
us in good immediate shape at least
on cords, khaki pants, etc.
Just a word about sugar. There
is plenty of sugar that will be avail
able for your needs and you need not
worry about not being able to get
sugar. However it is necessary that
you do not buy supply for several
months advance at this time as there
is not enough at this time to go
around where people get seal ed and
buy several hundred pounds for fu-
ture needs. Be patriotic, be saving
on sugar, and do not hoard up a
large supply. Buy by the dollars
worth and not by the sack until the
supply gets more plentiful.

tacks won for the French al thHfm-
portant observation posts in tne5No-
ronvilliers region in the Champagne
and Tuesday evening a similar oper-
alton was carried out on the high
ground in the Craonne region where
every one. of the observation points
dominating the Ailette valley are nov
in French possession.
The vantage ground thus won will
give the French the needed oppor-
tunity to prepare effectively for their
next drive. Strokes delivered at the
two localities where the preliminary
operations have been undertaken
would imperil the Rheims salient held
by the Germans.
More important, it would open up
still further the route by which Cen
Petain is evidently planning to strike
at the German key point fortress OF
Laon from the rear and compel its
evacuation and the falling back of the
entire German line in this sector.

U.BoAT PROBLEM SOLVED,
Italian Commission Reaches Wash
ington With Claim That Subma-
rine Menace is About to End.

Italy may receive credit for de-
visine a submarine killer" that will
clear the seas of German U-boats.
The Italian governments war mis-
sion arrived here late yesterday al
ternoon and was given royal state
welcome.
The commissioners brought word
of a. remarkable achievement by an
Italian inventor, whose destroyer de-
vice has resulted in the sinking OF
thirteen German submarines in the
last four weeks.
The invention is generally credited
to Guglielmo Marconi, inventor OF
the wireless, who is one Of the men,
bers of the mission sent here to talk
over war problems with officials of
the United States government.
No details of the experiments at
tributed to Marconi's genius were di-
vulged by the italian mission and it
was declared that no announcement
would be made concerning it until
after the members of the mission
have conferred with War, State, and
Navy officials.
These conferences are scheduled to
ebgir today and will continue prob
ably for three or four weeks.
From members of the Italian En-
bassy it was learned that the 1tal-
ian mission has brought to America
in addition to the Submarine killer,
experts plans for other inventions
now in process of development calcu.
lated to be great offensive and defen,
sive weapons in the war against Ger.

LISBON BOMBARDED
Marines and Police Join With Rioters
in Armed Protest Against Food
Situation.

Madrid, May 24.-Lisbon' the cap
ital Of Portugal, is under lombard
ment by the Portuguese fleet, accord
inc to word received here last night.
1t is added that the marines and
the police are joining with the rioters,
whose main grievance arises from
the food conditions.
The Portuguese army remains loyal
to the government, but so far has
been unable to quell the serious out
breaks or deal with the activities OF
thugs. Shooting is general through
ont the country, it is declared, and
many have been killed and wounded.
Washington, May 24.-Earlier ad-
vices on the situation in Portugal
which reached the outside world by
roundabout ways, said that the Por-
tupuese officials attributed the out
-
breaks to the Vaccinations OF Ger
many. Word this afternoon made men
ton of the minister of marine prals-
mo the attitude of the marines who
,nnarentlv have since broken away
from the constituted authorities.
The situation in Lisbon took on an
ominious caste on Sunday when crowds
attacked a number of shops in the
capita!. In number of outlying vii
lagos shops and warehouses were
looted. The damage in Lisbon itself
was estimated in Portuguese adVlceS
seeming into Spain at over 10,0OO,oOO
pescta. :,
The arrests in Lisbon had reached
large proportions, and those taken
into custody were confined on the
VESSELS in the harbor.

Joined the rioters, it is reported. The
situation. obviously has grown even
more grave yesterday and today,
ncccssitating the use of the fleet in

sents the possibility Of a retoncl!'a-

that therefore Belgium must be con-

BOON TO RECRUITING IN SUUTH

the champagne presented by the
French government. General Sibert
accepted the offer after some delibera-
ton. The result was luncheon dc
luxe-champagne, ham, jam and red
wine were added to the usual menu.
The red wine was casked and necessi-
tated the introduction in France of the
ancient and happy American custom Of
rushing the can The wine was
carried to the mess by bucketfuls.
The americans demonstrated their
superior ability over the French in
throwing hand grenades, showing up
execllently at a range Of from 80 to
70 meters. The officers are encourag-
ing the men to play baseball and de-
velop Walter Johnson wings" for
