Indian Ford Dam to Be Lowered.

Il InQldn FOTQ lam I'd De Lowered.
At the final hearing before the Rail
road Commission at Madison Tuesday
in the matter of the petition of John
w. Robbins ct. al. versus the James
vile Electric Company, the Commission
entered final order requiring the In
dian Ford dam to be maintained at the
height at which it was before being re-
built in 1916, that is, about one foot
lower than the present crest; ordered
the installation of forty feet of flood
gates, five feet deep, on the east side,
the removal of the earth and stone cof-
ferGam above the dam; and will estab-
lish and set maximum and minimum
level of water for the pond above the
dam, to control the use of the flood
gates. This decision is sweeping vic
tory for the petitioners, giving them
every point asked for in their petition.
1t is hoped that this decision, which the
Electric Company has agreed to accept,
will end all litigation and trouble over
this dam, extending back for over half
a century. Paul N. Grubb of this city
and F. G. Burpee of GAINESVILLE repre-
sented the petitioners, and M. G. JEFF
frs of GAINESVILLE represented the Elec-
trio Company in this case.

ming and Drying.
The present food and labor situations
are such that no household is justified
in looking to others to release it wholly
from individual responsibility and con-
structive action in saving and conserv-
ing food. All any home should expect
of others is to supply those foods which
can not be produced effectively by its
own members. The railroads will be
burdened with the transportation of
staple foods and civil and military nec-
essaries from localities of production
and manufacture to districts incapable
of supplying their own needs. 1t fol-
lows that all locally produced foods,
conserved by home methods, lessen the
winter pressure on transportation agen-
cies and also release similar products
of factories for other purposes.
urge every household, therefore, to
can all surplus perishable products for
which they have containers and to dry
and keep in paper any additional sur
plus suitable for such preservation.
Canning calls for no special skill and
for little equipment beyond wash
boiler and jars. Fresh products, clean
illness and heat are the chief require
ments, as even sugar is not essential
for canning fruits under modern pro-
cedure. Fruits and vegetables, more
over, can be dried efficiently in the sun,
over range or gas stove, or before an
electric fan. Drying is time-tried
home industry; conservation of food by
drying is largely matter of restoring
to the home great-grandmother's meth
cd of seeing that her family had good
food in winter as relief from monot-
onous diet of root vegetables.

lows:

AS soon as the official lists are re-
ceived from Washington the local ex-
emption board will proceed to call the
first one-third of the quota to appear
before the examining physician and the
rest as fast as they can be attended to.
Local boards will pass upon the ex-
emptions claimed under the draft but
appeals can be taken to central boards,
of which there are six in the state.
The registration district is taken as the
unit where eniistments will be credited
against their quota. Otherwise the
city of Edgerton would not be required
to furnish any men for the first call.
Men called on the first draft will be
notified by mail, but the responsibility
of knowing the order of the call lies
upon the man, hence officials advise
that each man check himself up in his
own district.
Boards will tighten upon exemptions.
Men who claim to have dependent rel
atives must prove the dependency;
their relatives must swear to the de-
tendency; and someone knowing the
applicant must certify to the mans
situation.

Killing Red Cross Workers
Tells Them About It
By william Philip simms,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent)
With the British Armies in Flanders,
Oct. 15.-How one British officer
walked across no man y land to stand
in front of a German trench and call its
defenders "swineD and other choice
epithets because they were violating
the battlefield code of honor by shoot
ing down Red Cross workers, was told
today.
1t happened in the Peolcapelle sector
The hottest fighting of Haig's most
recent drive centered there, particularly
about the brewery. Stretcher bearers
were constantly being shot by the Ger
mans. When census revealed that
109 of these ministering forces had
been shot out of $50 on duty, this
particular officers sporting sense and
indignation led him to act. He saw
three out of a group of four stretcher
bearers shot down before his eyes.
Their Red Cross flag fell. The officer
stepped out from behind shelter, picked
up the emblem supposedly regarded as
inviolate by international agreement
and deliberately marched on the Ger
man lines.
The Germans, utterly astonished,
stared at him. Standing alone in front
of their guns, he read them lecture

New York, Oct. 15.-The German at
tack ON the little archipelago, at the
entrance to the gulf of Riga, is not
a major strategetic operation, but has
undoubtedly been undertaken for the
purpose of trying to restore the conf
dence Of the German people in the kali
ser's mutinous navy.
Primarily, the islands guard the wa
ter approaches to Riga. Their protective
value, however, has not prevented Ger
man warships entering the gulf on pre-
vious occasions and the capture Of Riga
from the land side this summer des-
troyed the principal defensive purpose
of the archipelago.
1t is highly improbable that the Ger
mans intend using the islands to reach
the neighboring mainland in Esthonia
for the purpose Of making an overland
advance upon Petrograd.
The distance they would have to cover
would exceed 250 miles, and to create
a new army for this adventure would
seriously deplete the German resources.
Every reason of strategy and economy
is against the theory that the capture
Of Petrograd is the motive behind the
present Riga gulf operations.
With the German minister OF marine
resigning, however, and with the posi-
tion of chancellor badly shaken because
of naval mutinies, the kaiser has
thought it necessary, to attempt spec
tacular, if meaningless, counter-offen-
sive with his partly demoralized fleet
There can be no other explanation for
the assemblage of one hundred warships
to overwhelm the island defenses.
This number is far more than can be
advantageously used. The vessels would
endanger one another if operated to-
gether. The kaiser, however, unquestion-
ably ordered an extravagant concentra-
tion so that as many warships as possi-
BILE could have little exercise and be
given something to think about except
mutinies. That is probably all there is
to the operations.
