ALLIES PLANES MAY
TERMINATE WAR SOON

London, July 13.-The Evening
News prints an editorial on its first
page tonight commenting upon the
allies supremacy in the air, which,
the paper says. should enable the al
lies to duplicate the German trick of
finding a weak spot in the enemy's
front.
There are symptoms" says the
Evening News, such as the Austrian
defeat, the delay in the resumption of
the Paris offensive, and the tone of
the Reichstag debate, which suggest
that strong blow at Germany's weak
place at this juncture might precipi-
tate the end. Germany's weakness in
the air is our opportunity.

SMOKES And CHEWS
MAY Be RATIONED
War Board Finds Supply
Small, Production
Below Demand.

Washington, July 14.-Govern-
ment control of the tobacco industry
of the United States may result from
the heavy requirement of the allies
and. the American military forces
abroad. Rationing of the American
population is believed to be a possi-
bility.
The War Industries Board an
nounced to-day that it has been con-
Quoting an investigation to determine
the requirements abroad and the
amount that must be conserved I'm
this country to meet the situation. 1t
estimates that approximately two
thirds of the leaf tobacco raised in
this country in 1917 will be available
for American manufacturers. Out Of
this must come cigarette and pipe to-
bacco for troops not yet overseas and
exports of manufactured tobacco, in
addition to cigarettes and tobacco
purchased here for Belgium.
The crop in 1917 was 1,196,000,-
900 pounds and of this the board es-
Inmates that $50, 100000 pounds will
be available this year for United
States manufacturers, while 346,00O,-
900 pounds of leaf will be available
for export to the allies.
Tobacco issued to the military
forces of England, France and Italy
amounts to approximately 156,000,-
900 pounds a year, the board said.
England and France each allot 40 per
cent of their entire consumption to
the army and navy, while Italy allows
her military forces As per cent. The
total yearly consumption Of the entire
populations of these countries, the
board estimates at 3S7,000,000
pounds, or 100000 more than this
country is able to export.
Soldiers Take Half.
Persons who point to possible gov
eminent control in order to assure
tobacco for the allies and American
forces declared that it is more than
probable that with the allied armies
consuming between 40 and As per
cent of the total consumption in allied
countries, American forces would use
more than so per cent Of the total
amount used in the United States.
The War Industries Board quotes
the annual per capita consumption of
the United States and the allies as
follows:
Italy, two pounds; France three
and a half pounds; Great Britain,
four pounds, and the United States
seven and a half pounds.
England, France and Italy are now
chiefly dependent on imports from
the United States, as their imports
from other tobacco growing countries
have been materially reduced through
lack of shipping and inability to i'm
port from Turkey and Bulgaria.

Clare Dixon, holy roller preacher,

TAX ELECTION OFF.

There will be no road tax election
held with the primary, August 3.
Some time ago the Fiscal court en-
tered an order calling an election for
that date, but through an oversight
of the sheriff II was not advertised,
as the law requires, and the result
will be no election on that date.
Like woman suffrage and national
prohibition. the road tax will come,
and why not now?

AMERICAN SPURNED
OFFER OF KINGSHIP
Took Honest Toll Rather
Than Royal Gift From
Kaiser Bill.

San Francisco, July 13.-He might
have been a king.
But he prefers being an American
workingman.
What would you have done with
Peter Sobieski's chance at royalty and
all the pomp, glory and glittering cir
cumstances it implies?
The world is full of men seeking
titles and crowns-though Wilhelm
has done much to make the pursuit
unpopular.
How many would refuse diadem?
Poland.
Lineal heir to the throne, he has
been discovered living in Oakland,
Cal, in an humble home earning his
bread by the sweat of his own brow,
two years after having been invited
by the German Kaiser to become mon
arch of the Poles.
"I'd rather shovel coal in America"
said the man who wouldn't be king
than be an emperor of Europe!"
After re-establishing the Polish
kingdom as a German vassel state,
the Kaiser proffered the throne to
John Sobieski, uncle of Peter, in
1916, according to the Americanized
nephew.
The elder Sobieski, Sc, refused the
throne on account of his age and for
warded the offer to Peter after hav-
ing ascertained that this would be &C
ceptable to the Hohenzollern.
Peter j. Sobieski, of Oakland, CAL,
poor, toiling for a daily wage and
living in a modest fiat with his wife
and 3-year-old son, snapped his fin
gers in disdain at the glittering ten
der.
II would rather" he explained,
without any attempt to be dramatic,
live in poverty in the United States
than reign over unhappy Poland, my
native country, under the Kaisers
sway.
II prefer honor with poverty to
kingdom with dishonor.
The first Polish legion has just
entered the front line in France with
the allies. Poland is with the cham
pions of liberty and democracy, soul
and body and all that is left of her.
ITO be king. in these days when
enlightened nations are battling for
everything that stands opposed to
autocracy, seems to me about the
most sordid and dangerous ambition
to which a man could own"
But" he was asked, when the
war is over, and Germany has been
conquered? When Poland is free
and separate country again? Do you
propose then to claim the kingdom
that may be yours?"
II have already answered" he re-
piled without hesitation.
w uOt want bhc SiONhs II 10
my right IL | wanted to claim II, but
l am too democratic. l prefer my
independence here.
81 want Poland to be a great, free
republic like America"
Before coming to Oakland, Sobies-
kis adventurous career included the
life of a locomotive engineer,
farmer in Canada, hunter and trap
per in the Northern wilds, United
States marine, a Russian army officer
and an exiled political prisoner in
Siberia.
Born in Umanj, Ukrainia, he was
educated at Kin, Germany, in car
rying out preliminary war intrigues,
had papers of a revolutionary char
acter planted in his home where they
were siezed by Russians under the

DIRIGIBLES AID
IN U-BOAT WAR
Play Important Part In Their
Destructoan Thru
Dropping Bombs.

A Port In France, June Is (by
MALL thousand American
soldiers debarked here within three
days. Far off the coast the escort
ing American, British and French de-
stroyers were met by French and AM
erican aeroplanes and dirigibles.
The mosquito fleets of three ma
tions buzzed about, destroyers, con-
verted watches. submarines and small
craft of all sort No one had kind
word to say for the dirigibles, al
though the part they have played and
are playing in protecting the incom-
ing American host is an important
one.
Within the week one of the French
dirigibles flying with an escort of
American hydro-aeroplanes dropped a
bomb on a German submarine. The
feat was nothing unusual. During
1917 French dirigibles had nearly a
score OF encounters with enemy sub
marines.
Bombs Arc Effective.
On six occasions the submarines
discovered the dirigibles in'time to
escape, but on the other occasions
the launching of bombs on the sub
marine took place under circum-
stances leaving little doubt as to their
fate.
on two occasions the submarines
employed their guns against the di-
rigibles, but their experience was dis
astrous, the dirigibles virtually blow
ing them out of the water with a
shower of heavy bombs and depth
charges
The submarines are MORALLY afraid
of the dirigibles, for the latter can
spot them at great depths and have
an annoying habit of lowering for
hours over the spot where the sub
marines are resting on the bottom in
supposed security.
When the U-boat rises its end
comes quickly. The submarines only
protection Is to submerge to a great
depth and then to make off at slow
speed.
Act As Conveys.
The dirigibles are not so fleet as the
hydro-airplanes, but then neither are
their conveys. The slow-steaming
merchant vessels plod patiently along
under the dirigibles. which lead them
unerringly through mine fields and
instantly signal the presence of sub
marines or the launching of torpe-
does, signaling In such manner that
the merchant ships can out maneuver
the torpedo.
Marine dirigibles as a defensive
arm of the French navy did not exist
at the outbreak of war, although
S6.OOO,OOO had been appropriated
for their construction.
In January. 1916, the French navy
began using its dirigibles at first in
the North Sea and the English chan
mel, and, in July, in the Mediterran-
can. During 1917 and the first five
months 70 1918 both the number OF
dirigibles and their personnel were
tremendously ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
