The Last of the VaudreuiIs

This is the anniversary of the death Marquis. de Vaudreuil, the last scion Of that famous famous French family to play an important role in the af- fairs of the New World. Jean Louis took part in the seize of Yorktown and also in the successful assaults which forced the surrender of Corn wallis and his army. During the French revolutions he fought with the allies and after the restoration he became a favorite with the King. Another distinguished member of the family was Louis Philippe de Rigaud, Marquis de Vaudreuil, the French naval officer who took part in the ac- tiona in Chesapeake Bay between Graves and De Grasse. Louis Phil ippe was a nephew of Pierre Francios, Marquis de Vaudreuil-C -Cavagnal, who was governor of Louisiana in 1742, and in 1775 was made governor of Canada. He had trouble with Mont calm, and after the 1atter's surrender of Quebec to Wolfe and his own sur render at Montreal, he was tried by court martial, but was cleared of blame. It was this French noble s father who had been governor of Montreal in 1889 and governor-gener- al of Canada in 1703, and who was the first of the Vaudreuils to gain fame in the New World. The latter mem Der of the family died in Quebec ir 1725.

REVISE ENEMY
 TRADING LISTS

Washington, April 20-A revised enemy trading list, containing more than 5000 names and for the first time including enemy firms in the neutral countries of Europe, was is sued today by the war trade board. It was established in conjunction with Great Britain and France, to unify the efforts of the Allies to keep their products from reaching the enemy.
 Italy has accepted the list in prin- ciple.
 The number of firms listed as ene- mics in South America was slightly reduced from previous lists, after in- vestigation disclosed that the claims of many firms that they were neutral were justified. It was said, however, that many of the firms that probably deserved to be listed as enemy agents were not on the list, because actual proof of their German connections was lacking. Extreme care is taken in licensing ships to them, however, to see that they obtain nothing of value to the enemy.

OUT OF BUSINESS
 BY PLAZA SCHEME

The sudden rise in rentals and pur- chase prices for property since the city announced that 40 days grace would be given the occupants of prop erty to be demolished to make room for the new plaza, is causing about 25 business firms and merchants to show signs of distress.
 Hope is expressed by those affected that the administration will call a halt to it's plan to demolish the build ings within the plaza area, when it is found the merchants have no place to move to. Many of the men who have been given orders to move announce that they will be forced to quit bust- ness.
 The firm of Henry L. Blackman & Son has been appointed by Mayor Wilson to collect rents from persons occupying the property after the 10 day period.

 As will .be7recalled, the commander of the vast tank squadron went into action seated in plain view on top of his tank flagship, exposed to rife, machine gun and artillery fire, and not only inspired his men but gave the whole world g laugh when he flew the signal, England expects every tank to do it's d-dest!"

The British tank was one of the great sensations of the present war. It not only surprised the world when it appeared in action, but it sur- prised the Germans-and there was 8 good strong jolt accompanying the surprise: The very idea of land battleship was inspiring in itself, but the tanks did not go into action with any desire on the part of 1their crews to create poetry and romance. They went into action to sweep German barbed wire out of the way so that the infantry could get through quick ly with bullet and bayonet and bomb and overwhelm the Huns before they could organize an effective defense. Rough country - trenches, high banks, woods, houses, pill-boxes-did not daunt the tanks in the least; they erawled right over and through them, spitting machine gun bullets by thou sands, and when they got asEride a
