Tuesday noon while filling his cal
at the Einspahr Automobile company
garage, Jacob Konradi received as2few
slight burns and his car was damaged
to thssextent of about 5000. Mr.. Kon
radi had been having some trouble
with the starter, and fearing he would
have difficulty i'll getting it started
again he attempted to fill it while the
engine was running. The receptacle
on this car is next to the switch and
someone suggested that he stop the
engine, which he did. But as neces-
sarily would be the case in pulling
the switch, it produced a spark-and
this little spark was the cause of all
the trouble. 1t Immediately ignited
and in a few seconds the car and its
owner were a mass FLAMES. Mr..
Konradi soon snuffed out the fire
from his clothing and was not badly
burned. The fire company was called
out and the use of chemicals proved
effective in smothering the flames
from the car. A new windshield, body
and top, in addition to repair work
will be required to put the car in good
order again. 1t will require about

Two years ago l.. A. Hollander
missed a brand new book which con-
tanned thirty dollars in bills and
from that time on never knew what
became of the money. Last week he
entered his stable and saw that the
floor in places was badly worn and
rotted and he decided to tear up
some of the most useless boards. He
had not torn up very many until he
saw the bill book he had lost two
years, ago. Inside the book was the
$50 in bills. They were badly worn
in the center but the ends were in
good shape and they were Immediate
ly sent to the treasury department at
Washington, D. c., where they will
be redeemed. Mr.. Hollender can on
ly account for the disappearance of
the money in one way. Two years
ago he wore his Sunday suit and in
it was the bill book that contained
$50. After he arrived home. his suit
was hung upon the clothes line and
it was thought the bill book fell to
the ground and was carried to the
stable nearby and deposited beneath
the floor by rat. Anyway, Mr.. Hol.
lander will have the $50 and he has
Mr.. Rat to thank that he did not use
the bills for an expensive lining for
his nest. -Schleswig Leader.

NO PEACE WITHOUT VICTORY. |
FRANCE TO CONTINUE FIGHTING
TILL END.
Vivfani Makes it Plain That Republic
Will Struggle Till Lost Provinces arc
Regained.

New York, May 1O.-Three events
which will become historic in the an
nails Of New York marked the ac-
tivities Of the French war mission
here today. In their chronological
order they were:
The address of Rene Viviani, vice
president OF the council of ministers
and head Of the mission, at a lunch
con Of the Merchants association,
when he declared France never would
cease fighting until Alsace and Lor-
raine were restored to her and when
he proclaimed that the Stars and
Stripes never would attain their full
significance until they fioated from
the trenches of Europe.
The placing by Marshal Jorrrc Of a
wreath upon the sarcophagus of Gen
Grant.
The reception to the French resi-
dents Of the city at the public library
tonight when Joffre, Viviani and their
colleagues greeted their compatriots
including several hundred bluejacKets
from French war ships.
The spectacle which appealed most
to the popular Imagination was tha,
enacted at Grants tomb.

| of one kind or another.
But to protect our consumers from
today and to legitimately expand our
| exports to our allies without breaking
into our own necessary food, the gov
| ernment must have widest and abso-
lutte immediate powers. Time is the
essence of the matter. No European
government except Germany was able
to secure these powers until after
some great disaster was irrevoca BILE
| and we sit here dumbly waiting for
disaster; then we shall scream and
criticisc the government for not hav.
ing done something that they are
poworless to do.
There has been q great deal of
discussion in the press as to nv COM
Ing to America to take the position
of food dictator or food controller.
This is not the case. l came to wash
ington from Europe OF the request of
the government to advise them as 70
the organization necessary to set up
Tor proper and efficient food control.
Legislation already has been in
troduced into congress looking toward
the creation Of food control. The de-
tail Of means and measures must be
evolved from our own commercial in
stitutions with the experience of the
vast European laboratory Of food con-
troll problems as q guard against re-
peating errors. No one would be
willing to take the position as head OF
such department for food control if
1t is based absolutely upon restriction
and control of diverse interests and is
subject to a daily harvest OF opposi-
ton.
Il do not want the position and
feel there are many oilers who could
handle its concrete problems better
than |, and l will have done my SER
vice in advice better than in execu-
tion.
my only desire is to see the proper
instrumentality set up to meet this.
one OF our greatest emergencies, and
a man OF courage. resource and expe-
rience at it's head who is willing to
sacrifice himself on the altar of the
inarticulate masses whom he must
protect. Such u man can he sure that
/ will place my advice at his dis
posal."

NO FAVoR|T|SM TO Be SHOWN.
CHANCE FOR SHARP PRACTICE,
COMPLETELY ELIMINATED
Those Within Ages Prescribed for
Military Service Will be Obligated
to Give Names.

Washington, May 1O.-To DISPOSE
Of any fear that county and city reg
istration boards will exercise favorit
ism in enrolling soldiers under the
selective draft act, Provost Marshal
General Crowder issued a statement
tonight declaring such practices would
be virtually impossible because Of the
explicit terms in which the act is
drawn. He warned registration Off
cials that favOritism easily could ne
detected and would be punished with
heavy penalties.
Every precaution," said the state
ment, will be taken to make it GER
tain that the registration will be con-
Quoted with exact justice.
''The law is specific and allows no
latitude to the boards, either in the
matter of registration or in the later
matter of exemption from service. In
fact, the law is self-exe cutting. Every
man within the age limits fixed by
the sclective service act must register
and the penalty Of the law for evasion
of registration will fall not only on
| the man who fails to appear but on
any member of q registration board
| who may be shown to be in colluson
with the person who attempts to es-
| cape his duty.
Further than this, the registration
boards will never act as exemption
boards except in certain specific cases
such as where a young man who has
registered shall claim to be employed
in q federal, State or local office and
thereby does come within the exemp.
ton clause of the statute. In cases
like this the facts must be entered
officially and attested.
$50 far as the other reasons for ex.
emptions under the law are concern
ed, exemptions for men engaged ir
pursuits in which their work is more
valuable at home than in the service
the authority will lie with q board OF
higher jurisdiction. ;.
1.-THE law provides the penalty ot
Imprisonment with no alternative OF
fine for any official or any register
ed man who shall make a false re-
turn or connive at such a practice
The safeguards against favoritism OF
| evasion are ample"

BATTLE N MACEDONIA.
ALLIES HAVE OPENED ATTACK
ALONG A HUNDRED MILE
FRONT.
Deadlock ON French Front Continues,
But British Are Preparing for An.
other Heavy Blow That VIII Exceed
In Force That OF Opening of Battle
Of Arras.

Along the entire Macedonian front
from Aonastir to Lake Doiran, q dis
tance Of 100 miles. the allies have
opened a great offensive. The en-
tente artillery is roaring day and
night in every sector. There are but
little indications yet az to where the
main advance will be made. Bitter
fighting is proceeding in the bend of
Derna river and along vardar river.
through which valleys the military
critics agree the allies must force
their way.
In France the deadlock continues,
but the allies are making plans for a
heavy blow. General Maurice. the
chief director Of the British military
operations. has announced that the
coming blow will be mightier than
those which opened the battles Of Ar
ras and the Somme.
1t is still question whether the
Russian government will be. able to
weather the storm precipitated by the
Socialists. In any event there is little
likelihood Of any effective military
action on the part Of Russia soon. Ac-
cording to an upconfirmed report an
Austrian commission is on the way
to Switzerland with the object OF
opening separate peace negotiations
with France.
