GERMANS NEVER KNOWN FOR ANY
 RECIPROCATION

PARIS, May 31.--In the long range bombardment of Paris Wednesday a church was hit by one of the big shells and almost totally destroyed. The officials state that the least the German government could do is to have some forbearance toward the bombardment of Paris
 On last Wednesday the British artillery was asked by the German commander not to lombard Cologne during the feast Of Corpus Christi. This request of the Huns was com piled with, as the allied armies have no wish to destroy any place of worship nor inflict any injury on those congregated in such places. The German commander stated that it was the wish of the inhabitants of Cologne to conduct this religious ceremony and that it would be con. sidered great favor if the British would refrain from using the big guns on the city.
 In complying with this request of the enemy it was naturally thought that the Germans would reciprocate by not bombarding Paris during this feast day. It now appears that the enemy made especial efforts to de- molish church as a token of their appreciation of the forbearance of the British. It was hardly expected by the officials of this city that the enemy would show any signs of humane nature, but as they said, the cessation of the bombardment during this day was the least that could be expected from others than

AIRPLANES OF GERMANS BOMB
 BIG HOSPITAL

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY. May 31.-Following their usual method of carrying their warfare on against non-combatants, the German military aviators again bombed another large British hospital. In this air raid by the enemy many persons were killed. A large number of the medical at tendants were killed outright or seri. ously wounded.
 Among the slain were a few wo- men nurses. The bombs demolished large section of the building. Af- ter this part had collapsed the re, mainder of the hospital caught fire and was with extreme difficulty got ten under control. Some of the bombs hit directly over rooms in which there were wounded soldiers. In these rooms great many of the casualties occurred.
 After the fire was put under con- trol and the enemy airinen had re- tired to their own lines the debris was searched thoroughly to locate the bodies of any dead. The bodies of the nurses, patients and attend. ants were given a funeral and buried in the cemetery near the hospital. The building will practically have to be reconstructed, as it is now al. most useless as a hospital.

HEAVY LOSSES
 IN PRISONERS,
 SAYS GENERAL

NEW YORK, May 31.-According to a copy of the Berlin Vorwaerts received here today, General von Wrisberg asserted before the Ger man reicnstag that up to March 31 at least 664,104 German soldiers had been made prisoners by the allies or were missing. Those class ed as missing are those men who are not known for a certainty to be captured. wounded or dead.
 The general states that France has the largest number of prison. CTS of any of the allied countries, the total of Germans within her boundaries being 236.000. England ranks next with a total of 119.000 German prisoners in her possession It is estimated by the general that the countries of Russia and Ru- mania are the captors of 157,O00 Germans.
 The remaining 152,000 are con- sidered by the German general stan to be dead. This is thought to be a close estimate of the number of men that Germany has lost up to March 31, with the exception of those who are wounded in Germany

NUMBER
 TO BE DRAFTED
 IN MONTH JUNE

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 31.- The provost marshal generals de- paEtment officially announced this morning that 2S0.O0O men would be drafted during June. These men are to report on June 24.
 It was stated some time ago that at least 30O.0OO men would be draft ed this year. This number will no doubt be greatly increased if the war department sees fit. The can tonments by this time will have been sufficiently depleted of their troops to allow for this large number of men.
 The quotas that the various states will have to furnish during the June draft has not yet been announced by the department. It is expected that these men will be sent to France as soon after their training is completed as possible.

and those that are known to be dead. There is no doubt that many of those considered by the Germans to be dead are prisoners in the hands of the allies. This number, of course. has been greatly increased since March 31

Mr.. Stngg plunged down the steps
and kept on down the hill to the water
front. There was an eating-place here
where the waterside characters congre-
gated, and Mr.. Stagg put his head in
ut the door.
"Some Of you fellers come out with
me on the Ice and look for little girl
and a boy and dog" saitl Mr.. stagg.
"Like enough, they're lost In this storm.
And the ice Is going out"
They all rushed out Of the eating
house and down to the nearest dock.
Even the cook went, for he CHANGED to

"And let me tell you, she's one rare

Stngg's hearing. "How she come TO be

Hnnnnh's Car'lyn, the little child he
had learned to love, was somewhere on

Speed Is Expense
When 1t Comes
To Tires

Excessively fast driving is destruc-
tive to ordinary tires. If the motorist
could maintain an average speed of
twenty-five miles an hour without in
curing the displeasure of policemen
and magistrates he would get more
mileage out of his tires than at any
other mark. If he is one who insists
on letting her out" he must obey the
rules--drivc slowly over rough roads
and take turns cautiously and, as i'm
portant as the other, increase the air
pressure in his tires from two to eight
pounds above normal-also resign
himself to prodigal purchases of tires.
For speeding specially built tires are
required
The faster tire is driven the more
heat it generates internally, while nor
NAL speed will not raise the temper
AZURE of the tire to dangerous point
Excessive speeding will raise the
temperature to point we'll beyond the
danger line or to point where addi-
tional INFLAMMATION will take place
more than the manufacturer ever in
tended for the tire, and sufficient to
dry out, not only the friction gum be-
tween the plies of fabric but the very
fabric itself, depriving the tire of
considerable of its elasticity it's re-
slllency, in fact, part of it's very life.
This excess heat, drying out the
fabric friction between the plies of
fabric, naturally will cause separa-
ton between the plies resulting in the
fabric chatting against itself, or the
plies of fabric chatting against one an
other, weakening it to that point where
1T can no longer maintain the air
pressure, resulting in blowout.
watch speeder negotiating a rough
road at about as fast as his car will
travel and notice the rear wheels in
particular as they strike an obstacle,
both at the same time, which shock
comes so abruptly and forcibly that the
rear wheels are raised free from the
ground. Perhaps this is only an inch
or so, but while in the fraction of a
second the wheels are off the ground
the tension is released on the engine,
the wheels are spinning much faster, so
that when they again strike the ground
the road itself must do some brake
work and have an action on the tread
of the tire much like that of rasp
being rubbed over it's surface.
Now, if it should happen that when
the tire strikes the ground after being
thrown into the air there should be a
sharp pointed stone or other sharp
obstacle at that immediate point, the
result would be a nasty cut circum
fcrcntially around the tread. This
might extend for but few inches OF
it might extend halfway round the
tire and might be deep and serious
and all brought about in the wink of
an eye. In addition to this tires used
under these circumstances would no
doubt lose their treads, not alone from
the rapid wearing away, but from q
separation between the tread and the
