ployment which might connect him

tracts, nay result from bringing the
name Of Major General Those
Cruise, formerly disbursing officer
of the quartermaster corps, into

Henry ii. Lippert, a Chicago man

raided yesterday by government
agents.
General Cruise called at the war
department today to see Assistant
Secretary Cwolel, but the purpose
OF his ,i5it was not disclosed.
SO far as could be learned here,
any correction General Cruise may
have had with Lippert was subse-
quent to his retiring from the army.
General Cruise had no connection
with the awarding of army con-
tracts lor a long time prior to his
retirement. AS disbursing officer,
his function was only to pay bills.
The incident served to renew dis
cussion among army officers of the
ethics OF retired officers taking out

berless warnings have proved inet-
fective, and Premier Clemenceau
has taken more urgent steps to pre-
vent government employees from
wasting gasoline on personal or un-

given an earnest Of what may be
expected by decreeing that the dl-
rector of the agricultural service,
who used a machine for tour, must
pay out of his own pocket for the
"essence" used and the wear and
tear to the tires. 1t is even claimed
that chiefs of departments, having
automobiles at their disposal have
sent the machines out during lei
sure hours in search Of cigarettes
and other private errands, using up,
as one Paris newspaper sarcastically
remarks, thirty litres OF gasoline IN

is prohibited by law. The peddler
gave bond for his appearance in

determined to prosecute peddlers
who sell this sort of goods and will
also proceed against all persons

TWO YOUNG WOMEN
WORK ALASKA MINE

Juneau, Alaska, Feb. y. - (By
Mail AT Pearl Harbor, 40 miles
from here, two Young women, just
out OF their teens, have for the past
four years operated paying mine.
Their sole assistant has been their
mother. They operate a two-stamp
mill and their present ambition is
TO install hye-s stamp equipment.
These girls are the daughters OF
the late ohm G. Peterson, pioneer
who, with Mrs. Peterson, acquired
an interest in some mining property
20 years ago in the Pearl Harbor
district. The girls names are lrma
and Margaret. Both were born in
Juneau.
There is nothing in the mining
line that the two young women are
not capable of doing, from sharpen
ing a steel to shoeing mule. These
things are everyday affairs for
them-a part of the days work.
They built the neat four-room cot
tage in which they live, getting the
timber out of the forest themselves.
An inspection of their library
shows works on geology mineral
ogy, petrology, mining and milling,
and mine management, by the best
authorities. A number Of standard
magazines come to them. The girls
occasionally take trips. One Of
these excursions took on the pro-
portions of trip to Europe.
Juneau, the town of their activ-
ity, frankly is proud of them. So is
Alaska.

 A later and official report of the engagement brings out interesting de- tails and gives credit to the officers and men for fine fighting qualities displayed in their initial experience under shell and machine gun tire The French commander of that sector has given the regiment the highest possible comm mendation for the results accomplished and the splendid fight ing spirit shown by the American negroes.

At the late meeting Of the County
Council of Defense B. /. Bailey Of
Hillsboro was elected as a member of
the threshermens' committee, the pur-
pose of which is to eliminate as much
waste as possible in the threshing of
grain. Mr.. Bailey remained here for
day and examined straw stacks IN
this vicinity He was very much sur
prised to find that the stacks cantaln-
ed much grain. Steps will be taken
to see that the threshing machine men
replace old and worn parts in their
outfits before fall, so that this waste
at the machines may be reduced to
a minimum.
