Luzerne County Pays
$1.S3 Item For Cats Milk

Wilkes Barre. Pa. Jan. 29.-"Milk

items of charge against Luzerne
county and investigation shows that
the cat is one secured by Watchman
Thomas Finn, who has kept it at the
courthouse several months past.
The cat has earned it's board. For
a time, the basement of the court
house was the meetingplace for
swarms of rats. Jurors complained
that when they were forced to sleep
in the basement rats played tag about
them during the night.
Various rat exterminators were
tried. Finn finally got the cat. Soon
as the cat started to make the base

BRITISH CRUISER
LAURENTIC SUNK
Former Ocean Liner Victim of
Mine or Submarine; Many
Lives Lost

London, Jan. 29.-The British aux
ilfary cruiser Laurentic. of 1882 tons
gross, has been sunk by q submarine
or as q result of striking q mine, ac-
cording to a statement issued last
night by the admiralty Twelve officers
and 10g men were saved.
The statement adds that the vessel
went down eff the Irish coast last
Thursday.
A ship of her size. even when in the
merchant service and carrying no pas
sengers, requires q crew of about $50
men, it is probable there was consid-
cradle loss of life when the Laurentic

miralty for auxiliary cruiser duty the
Laurentic was in the service of the
White Dominion Line. The ves-
sci was owned by the Ocean Steam

"The Revolt at the Richmond

problems of life and those who are
familiar with the battle between SEX
es know that the revolt will come to
all, and when it does, though the
base side sometimes conquers, the
world is better for the revolution.
This fact was proven in the life
of Anna Biddle, the wonderful little
character made famous by Helen
Ware in this most successful Broad
way production at the Richmond to-
night.
"The Revolt" is a big strong story
and unlike the usual run of plays. II

lent photography and splendid light

WILL READJUST THE MAP.

France Will Have Alsace-Lorraine,
Greece Is to Receive Territory and
Austria Hungary Will be Divided.
Full agreement as to the remodel
:ng of Europe's map after the war
has been reached by the allies. TAX
ing territory here, Strengthening lines
there, they intend to have such re-
storations as will tend toward in
ternational peace in the future. While
Germany dreams Of Mitteleuropa-
middle Europe running from the
North sea to Bagdad under Teuton
dominion--the allies have agreed that
the war shall go on until this dream
vanishes.
First in the allies proposals is
the restoration of stricken Belgium.
Then France, according 20 plans, is
to have Alsace- Lorraine. Constantl-
nople will be internationalized and
the Turkish governments grasp in
Europe will be loosencd. The Grecian
boundary will be showed northward,
while Greece will also get part OF
the islands near her in the Mediter-
rsrean. Italy viii have Trent and
Trieste, Strengthening Of her north
ern boundary and small slice of
territory across the Adrlatic. Croatia
and Bohemia will be made into in
Gepcrdent states, while Poland will
be established as an independent
territory as buffer between Ger
a.:ny and Russia.
Ii is further proposed to divide
Austria Hungary into Two states.
These rcadjustmcnts are not based
u;nn conquest, but upon determlna-
tion tha. peoples shall live in states
of their own nationality-not under
an unwelcome yoke. The allies do
not propose to yield back German
African colonies, in view OF Ger
many's abuses there, and, moreover,
because these colonies threaten the
allied territories near AT hand Ihese
terms are allied terms. America has
not lent itself to them. All this gov
ernmcnt says on such subjects is
let us beat Germany and the lines
will take care of themselves.

ABSENT TROOPS CAN VOTE.

Provided. if States Desire.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 7.-Amer-
lean citizen soldiers, whether located
in cantonments of the national army
mobilization centres of the National
Guard or even in France with the eX-
peditionary forces, may vote at the
fall elections, if their respective
States establish voting machinery at
the camps.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
said last night that there was no bar
to the voting Guardsmen or drafted
soldiers, so far as the Federal Gov
ernment was concerned, and that the
only obstacle would be the alb
sence of State legislation OIL the
subject.
Many States. have laws, in some
cases dating back to the civil war
permitting citizens under arms to
vote when away from the home pre-
cinct. Last fall, while the National
Guard was mobilized on the Mexican
border, other States enacted leglsla-
ton permitting the troops to cast bal
lots in national, State and municipal
elections. Substantially the same
process will be followed this fall, bal
lots of soldiers from States making
the necessary arrangements being
mailed from the camp or cantonment
Every State is the Judge OF the vot'
ing qualifications of its electors; but

whether many States will care to un'
dertake polling any Of their men who

HE WORE WHISKEY BELT. .AFTER PRO:GERNANS
Senator Reed and Others of That llk
Likely to Experience Lashing for
Blocking Administrations Work.

It may be disagreeable thing to
do, but the all-American members
Of the United States Senate have deh-
nitely made up their minds to smoke
out the "copperheads" and brand
them as such before the country.
Yesterdays acrimonious debate on
the Food bill conference report left
net doubt Of that. 1t showed that
the men who want the United States
to win this war and who are contrib
uting everything in their power to
that end are sick and tired of the
tactics Of the pro-German obstruc-
tionists.
This group of Senators from the
very beginning of the war nave
sought to delay what they could not
defeat. They have stood out as men
apart. willing to be known as Ger
man sympathizers, notwithstanding
the fact that Germany is the enemy
of this country, that German barbar-
ity, plus German stupidity, forced this
country to enter the war, and that
millions of American men are about
to ,nrow themselves into the balances
2g.inst German arms.
II might seem inconceivable that
an% respectable group of American
lawmakers would or could array
themselves against their Government
at such time, seeking 60 cripple the
President and handicap tee country
IN the mobilization of It's war re-
sources. Yet there is such group.
Everybody who has followed the
course of legislation for the past four
months knows that there is. The
President himself held the "willfup'
~ up to tie scorn Of the country
even before we became belligerent
But the opposition cabal did not dis
solve. It has continued its work Ct
obstruction ever since and IS still
finding means OF tying the hands OF
