also be cancelled if a tenant proves be-
fore a court of arbitration that his
situation has been so changed owing
to the war that it can be presumed he

GERMANS PLAN
TO DROP BOMBS
OVER new YORK

NEW YORK, May 6.--"High officials
OF the German army boosted to me at
grand headquarters that their chemists
had discovered a new terribly deadly
gas, with which they expected to kill
million people in the city of Londan.
"This gas, to be dropped from
bombs carried by huge airplanes, each
equipped with six motors, would pene,
trate into the deepest cellars and sub
ways, they said.
These same high officials boosted
to me that the airplanes of which
they spoke would be capable of fly
ing to New York and return. They
Dragged too of submarines,
which could easily come here and at
tack us, and it was plain, from the
way they talked. that they were en-
deavoring to give me the impression
that these air and underwater ma
chimes some day would come to New
York"
DR.. A. n Davis, long Kaiser Will
helms personal dentist, who recently
returned from Germany told these
things last evening to an audience
which filled Carnegie Hall at Liber-
ty Loan rally. 1t was DR.. Davis's
first speech since his return.
Il said to the Kaiser on one oc-
casion at grand headquarters: You are
Understanding the power of the
United States The Kaiser replied:
Z underestimate nobody, sir!
Many people have asked me, since
my return, why I didn't do something
to the Kaiser when was so close to
him. Well for one thing / wanted to
return to America with my head on
my shoulders. Again, I felt that the
German people themselves would in
time attend to him."

INTERNAL STRIFE
WORRIES GERMANY
FOOD PROBLEMS In CENTRAL
POWERS GREATS DISTURB
CES-AUSTRIAN EMPEROR IN
PRECARIOUS POSITION.

NEW YORK, May 81. W. T. Ma
son, war expert for the United Press,
reviewing yesterdays operations says:
Serious internal difficulties of the
central powers are following the stop
page of Won Hindenburg's offensive
along the west front.
Food and dynastic problems have
been accommodating in Germany and
Austria-Hungary, while the world
has had it's attention fixed upon the
military events in Picardy and Elan"
ders. A sudden collapse of Teutonic
resistance because of new domestic
crises is not to be expected, but
there can be no doubt of the undermin-
ing effect upon the Hohenfollern abso~
lutist regime.
In Austria Hungary and Prussia de
mands in the local parliaments for
political reforms are reaching dis
cuieting stage. The vested interests
have united against any extension OF
democracy and are resolved to con-
t;nue the struggle for their own priv
ileges. regardless of consequences,
Compromise solutions, therefore, are
not probable. At the same time, re-
auctions of food rations are being an
nounced in Germany, while the Austro-
Hungarian government has been fore
ed to seize the privates stores of the
peasants to keep the cities from starv-
ing. In Ukraine( wildly heraldly as
a certain source of unlimited food sup
ply for the central powers, the farm
ers are burning their crops, rather
than submit to the ruthless seizures
ordered by the German military au~
thorities At Vienna, the pr0-German
population has begun a boycott of the
Emperor Karl, because he is showing
small spirit of independence, and
does not confess to a belief in the
OU1H1pOJ60C6 OIL Lu0 I1OuSHHO4lSIAS'
The young emperor's position would
be precarious if Germany were to
win the war and could dictate terms
of peace. In that event. Karl might
be compelled to abdicate so that =
puppet more agreeable to Germany
could be put on the throne at VII
enan.
That these accumulations of dis
tress and discord are causing uneasi-
ness to the Teutonic leaders is APP
parent from the recent utterances OF
Chancellor Won Hertling, deploring the
toe arrogant policy of reaction by the
Prussian junkers. Sources of unrest
may not by themselves cause a revolt
but may well contribute to that pur-
pose, once the Allies begin winning
military victories against Won Hin
denburg. IN that possibility centers
the chief interest of the present do
nestle troubles of the central empires,

latter a resident of Huntington COM

I'm sitting here and thinking of the
things / left behind,
And hate to put on paper what is
running through my mind.
We have sunk a hundred submarines
and cleared the seas for miles
around,
And a meaner place this side of hell,
I know it can't be found.
But there's still one consolation, gath
er closely while I tell;
We have a hundred galleys for the
cooks to stew our beans,
We stood a hundred sea watches. and
snuffed out submarines,
We've washed millio ndishes and
peeled a million spuds,
We've dashed a hundred hammocks
and washed hundred buds.
The number Of parades we've made
isn't very hard to tell,
But we'll parade in heaven, for we've
done our hitch in hell.
We have sunk a hundred submarines
which have tried to sink our
ships,
And we kept the agonizing cries of
death from many innocent lips;
We steamed a thousand miles and
landed soldiers at all the camps,
We have shaken a million sea weeds
from out our navy pants,
But when at sea our work is done,
our friends behind will tell,
When they died they went to heaven,
for they done their hitch in hell
When the final taps are sounded and
we lay aside our cares,
And we do the very best parade right
UP the golden stairs,
And the angels bid us welcome when
the harps begin to play.

us loudly with yell,

Fire completely destroyed the
barn on the Winters ranch now oc-

The fire had gained such headway
before its discovery that nothing was

storehouse was caught up by the
flames and totally consumed.
Through energetic work on the
part of neighborly neighbors hay
stack and some personal effects were
saved but several sets of harness and
feed stored in the barn were fed to
the flames.
The loss which is estimated at 81 :
600 is equally borne by Judge VIM
