BEGINS WORK TODAY

Butte, Mont, July 17.-Metal
trades unions whose workers COM
prise the Metal Trades council of
Butte have voted to affirm the ac-
tion of the council in ordering all
men affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor to return to
work in the copper mines today. The
electricians accepted the contract Of
fered by the Montana Power COM
pany, a schedule averaging close to
sc day.
The Metal Mine Workers. union
which is not affiliated with the Am
erican Federation of Labor, issued
circulars saying their strike would
continue and that the metal trades
would again walk out unless the min
ing companies abolish the rustling
card system. American Federation
of Labor officials denied that any
action of this kind is known here.

Crown Prince Involved.

Amsterdam. July 17.-The events
OF the past few days have stirred
Berlin as the city has not been STIR
red since the war began, according to
Information reaching here. The man
in the street took tremendous inter-
est In the great political battle 60
ing on behind the scenes, aud the
common people" quickly gained TIE
impression that DR.. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg. as champion of popular re-
forms, had entered the lists against
the emperor, the crown prince, Field
Marshal Won Hfntenburg ard Gem
eral Ludendorff.
Won Bethmann-Hollweg had figured
in the Berlin streets as popular
hero. and although his caus,, had
many friends. popular opinion re-
earded his efforts as hopeless against
the great prestige Of the royal house,
allied with the military imrorialisrs,
Won Hindenburg and Ludendorff
Hollweg's Pronosals.
Won Betbmann-HOllwegs chief
""nn"rt in his brief effort for dem
ocracy seems to have come from Ba-
varia and AUSTRIA, as the report goes
here. He made two proposals. the
first that in the direction of democra-
tization. p new body under the name
Of the reichrat should be Immediate
ly constituted. which would be q
sort Of committee on national de-
fense. and would for the time be-
ing act as go-between twixt the
reichstag and the emperor, thus in
stituting on modified scale the
principle Of parliamentary RESPONSE
bility; the second, that the govern
ment should Immediately make an
authoritative declaration of no an
nexatiOns or indemnities Both these
proposals, it is asserted, had the
backing of Bavaria and Austria.
Violently Opposed.
Both proposals were violently op-
posed by the crown prince, Won Hin
denburg and Ludendorff 1t is de-
clared that Won Hindenburg came out
openly for German peace" and
avowed that Bavaria and Austria
must be persuaded that a victorious
peace was certain in short time
through the agency of the U-boats.
DR.. Won Bethmann-Hollweg re-
signed from his post of chancellor
after his conference with the crown
prince. in which the latter convinced
the chancellor that his cause was
lost.

In Propaganda of German
Intrigue In America

Washington, July 17.-Activity of

secret service agents of the govern
ment
A wholesale roundup of the lead
ers of the organizati believed to be

soon. Evidence before the Depart

formed by the liquor men to COOP

night that he will issue the order un-
der authority given him by the new
organization. Not even shipments to
private individuals will be permitted,
and country clubs near Bemidji that
have been doing thriving business
will be deprived of their supplies.

still get supplies from Superior. Chi

action does not change the conditions

a few days, following the visit Of the

they are having no trouble in that

seen. Kelliher, which is also in the
Indian lid territory, is one Of the

bootlegger. 1t is fact that some of
the shipments to Puposkv and Ne

that they couldn't be for home con-

Copenhagen, July 17.-In their re-
views of the administration of the
retiring German chancellor, DR.. Won
Bethmann-Hollweg, the German
newspapers comment prominently
and often in an uncomplimentary
manner on his treatment of relations
with America. In the Vossiche Zei-

cuses DR.. Won -Hollweg
and his foreign secretary, DR.. Zim-

game with Washington, making war
inevitable by attemots to deceive and

FIRE ENGINES TO HAVE MOTORS
 WITHIN YEAR
h Horses Soon to Go Out of Fashion With "The
 Finest. ;

Within the next four months at the outside, it is expected the Fire de- partment of Bridgeport will have been completely motorized.
 The present equipment consists of ten engine companies, six of which are motorized and the other four are composed of horse-dHawn vehicles. The maintenance of any horse drawn vehicles in the department is regard ed as a great detriment, however, to the general efficiency of the depart ment. Motor apparatus uses fuel only when it is in use. Horses demand food whether they work or not-and they get it too. Then they have to be shod with surprising frequency land need blankets and new harnesses and all that sort of thing
 Engine Houses $50,O0O Each It costs $50,OOO to build an engine house such as Bridgeport has. When 1t is built it takes i$20,000 for yearly maintenance. Thus it W&sl be seen that where the initial outlay and con- seuuent cost of upkeep must neees- Fsarily be so large, the matter of effi- cient financial management must be AOS0A city may not go bankrupt from one department alone, at least! Hut there is much better chance for keeping the cost of apparatus at its lowest when lit is motorized than if the vehicles are horse drawn.
 The Bridgeport department has demonstrated that the use of the Wa terous gasoline pumping engine is the most practicable for the department
 and the needs of this particular com.
 munity.
 LocomobiIe Came First About ten years ago the first piece of motor apparatus was instailed-an old Locomobile "rype 1" engine with ,, chemical tank. For several years this was the engine that put out nine- tenths of all the fires that broke out When that engine was inaugurated steam engines practically went out There is no doubt but that fire area is reduced by motor apparatus. It is a time-worn statement that the first minutes of a fire tells the tale.
 If this is so it is easily seen how the consequent speed with which motors get to the scene is far preferable to the great risk of delay through the
 use of the horse drawn vehicles.
 The fire loss per capital in Bridge port is one of the smallest in the whole country, which is entirely CO., incident with the use or motorization. The loss has been estimated as low as 30 or 40 cents per capita The other day Hartford had a million dollar fire. In the very remote case of there
 being no other fire in Hartford this year that one bad fire will bring up
 the per capita loss to ten dollars for
 just this year.
 So it would seem that it is to the mutual well-being of every one in the

1917 PULLMAN
 BIGGEST FOUR OF THEM ALL
Aston Motor Car Go. Offers Vehicle That is Arch Enc
 my of Staggering Hills.

The Aston Motor Car Co.,. 1T23 State street, is offering this season
 what, it considers the greatest Pull
 man of them all. In fact the distribu-
 tors rate it was the biggest and best finished Four ever produced.
 This new Pullman tops the under a-thousand class at every point--a longer wheel base (114 inches), more power on the hills. more speed on the
 level, lot more room, a lot more ease and comfort, infinitely more
 beautiful lines-in fact. a great deal
 more car for the money in every way
 Not content with supreme finish, beauty of design and power of mo- tor, the creators of the Pullman for 1917 have furnished the greatest col lection of standardized, widely rec ognized accessories ever placed on a car selling under thousand dollars. Dol1ar-for-dollar value that goes clear through the car is apparent at a glance. It has already shattered even Pullman low records for gas and oil saving, averaging 20 to 25 miles to the gallon of gas regularly. It is the arch enemy of staggering hills-the unrelenting foe of the re- pair shopkeeper and the gasoline
 dealer. Briefly. it represents the ex- perience of 13 consecutive years of motor car building.
 Built on a light, strong chassis, cap-
 able of infinite endurance, isva body that is like the coach work of costly European models.
 Its lines are decisive and beautiful. The perfect streamline hood and | cowl blend gracefully into fiawless body curves. and the fashionable eff feet is emphasized by sloping wind
 shield, rounded, boat-like tonneau, and a deep-toned satiny finish of Pull man green and black.
 The custom-made, one-man top
 fastening rigidly to the windshield conforms to the body design. The upholstery is genuine leather, soft and | thick, over deep eurled-hair cushions, luxuriantly comfortable The body is lavishly roomy for five big passen-
 gers There is plenty of leg space
 and plenty of elbow room.
