The domestic science girls of the

The domestic science girls of the
high school have a splendid custom of
taking turns preparing and serving at
stated times luncheon to few
guests, and yesterday Miss Frances
Fulton took her turn. She had a de-
licious meal, served to Mrs. Ada Fer
maid, Miss Mona Bates and Miss Nell
Stewart. The menu was meat and
rice cakes with tomato sauce, boiled
beets, celery jell-o salad, corn meal
rolls, and dessert which would melt
in your mouth, a boiled apple with
rich custard sauce. This took place
at the school.
A pleasant and novel Red Cross
party took place at the Ferns hotel

vertisement contest and the parson-
age cat and the like were played, but
the chief feature was the dressing of
clothespins as Red Cross nurses, Sam

CONFIDENCE IN LAPS NECESSARY
 SAYS DIPLOMAT
Response to Query on Siber- ian Action Looked For
 In Few Days.

Washington March 2.-The re- sponse of the entente allies and oth- CT of America to Japans invitation for expression of view regarding the Russian situation in eastern Siberia are expected to be returned within the next few days. It is certain that there will be no long delay as there appears to be no disposition to enter into extended arguments on meas ures to combat German aggression in Siberia, and to protect military stor- es at Vladivostok.
 One distinguished foreign repre- sentative said today that situa- tion has developed where the allies and America must place entire confi- dence in Japan. His belief is that there can be no half confidence, such as would be implied by q demand for pledge from Japan, in advance of any action, to limit activities and to make certain dispositions of oc- cupied territory after the war.

ROBBERS GfT SAC, Z WATCHES FROM
 M'BRYDE'S SAFE
Thieves Open Safe Easily, Fry Open Inner Drawers
 With Cleaver.

W. C. McBryde's grocery store at Ill State street was burglarized sometime before 12 o'clock Friday night, and the safe robbed of about $40 in cash, and two handsome gold watches. Entrance was effected by breaking large pane of glass in one Of the windows on the State street side of the building. Before entering the McEryde store the same criminals are believed to have burgiarized an other store, just north of the Me- Bryde establishment, as this store was robbed of about i$9. !.
 A passerby noted the window bro ken and phOned Mir. McBryde about E2:20 o'clock Saturday morning. Mir. McBryde hurried to the place and, thinking the burglars within, lay in wait outside, waiting for them to emerge. After two-hour vigil, he investigated, and notified the police. It was found that the safe had been opened without the use of ''soup," and the doors to the inner compartments pried open with a meat cleaver. MT. McBryde is confident that he locked the safe Friday night, which indicates that the thieves were able to solve the combination.
 Some of the money taken belonged to friend of Mr. McBryde, who had requested that it be kept in the safe overnight.

ORDER ROUNDUP
 OF l. w. w. ALIENS
 THRU NORTHWEST

Washington, March "A general roundup of alien disturbers in the Pacific Northwest. spreading sabo- tage anarchy, was ordered today by the Department of Labor. All aliens preaching these doctrines, Secretary Wilson ruled, whether they be members of the I. w. w. or not shall be confined for deportation from the country.
 Special investigation was ordered into the I. w. W. gathering about Seattle, Wash.
 In response to demand for the wholesale interment of some 5000 |. w. w. in the Pacific Northwest, Sec retary Wilson ordered that any alien advocating sabotage or anarchy be deported, ven though he may have communicated no overt act. He ru1- ed, however, that mere membership in the l. w. w. would not be grounds for deportation.

QUESTIONS M' AD0I) AUTHORITY OVER
 Thf RAILROADS
Federal Judge Holds Con- gress Did Not Empower
 Naming of DC.

Louisville, Ky, March 2.-Federal Judge Walter Evans, in the course of an opinion rendered here today deny ing federal courts exclusive jurisdict- ion in suits against transportation companies because they are under government control, indicated that he had failed to find any statute author izing Director General McAdoo to take control of the railroads. The opin- ion, in this connection, says:
 "Under no establish rule of inter- pretation can it be doubted that con- gress authorized in time of war the war department and no other to take over the railroads. If we assumed which is inconceivable, that the secre- tary of war declined for that depart ment, we can find no statute author ing control of the railroads under the treasury department, nor by direct or-general of railroads"
 Judge Evans cited the law empow- ering the government to take over the railroads, pointing out that congress specified it should be done thru the war department, of which Newton D.. Baker is head. and asserted this w. G. McAdoo "who is scretary of the treas urv," has been appointed by President Wilson as director general, an office which the court says the law does not recognize.

Office, Warehouse and Boil CT Room Escape Fire of
 Mysterious Origin.

Manufacturing com-

The Grant Manufacturing com- pany's factory was destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon about o'clock, causing a loss estimated by w. E. Grant, head of the company, at $100O0. The office, warehouse and boiler room were not damaged to any extent.
 The cause of the fire is not known, as the plant was not in operation, and there was no fire under the boilers or about the place, so far as known The flames were first discovered by men at the Mcintyre mill, who went over to render what aid they could, but found the factory building already en- veloped.
 This is the second time within six months that the Grant Manufacturing company has suffered loss by fire, the plant being destroyed when it was To- cated at Newport. It was removed here recently, and has been manufac- turing handles for shovels and other implements.
 MT. Grant and his bookkeeper were both out of the city at the time of the fire, having gone into the country to buy timber. The owner said last night that the loss is partially cover- cd by insurance. He had not then de cided whether or not he will rebuild immediately.
 The plant is situated west of the city, outside of the fire limits. The fire department was not summoned

In so quick y reaching this stage the American have shown their usual adaptability Gas was used in all three attacks fin only sufficient quantities to make masks necessary, as the Germans ill their later attack did not desire to encounter quantities of their own gas.
 Discard Masks to Fight.
 When the engagement at TOul be- gan virtually all Americans were masked. Many are reported to have taken chance when the German in- fantry attacked, pulling off masks for freer action. One officer risked his life to give commands to his men dur ing the roar of explosions. He was unable thru his mask to make his men lear so he pulled it off and yelled his orders. As it happened there was no gas in this particular section, but he did not know it.
 There were many other instances of personal bravery. A lieutenant, a sergeant and two privates were in a dugout when some Germans looked in. One cried in good English, Come out Americans" The four Americans blazed away with automatics, then rushed the entrance, to stumble over the bodies of the men whom they had apparently killed by their quick re- sistance.
 During the bombardment two men, who were concealed in shell hole, were buried by dirt thrown by an ether exploding projectile. They shouted for help; their comrades left shelters from which they were ready to leap into action the moment at tacking infantry appeared, and eX- humned the buried soldiers, while stones, mud, earth, pieces of trees ana shell spllnters spattcred about them.

Chicago, Mar. 2-Julian E. Arnold an Eng]ishman who is said to have been a United States attache at Pe- kin at one time, stated in an address today before the Irish fellowship club, that an armed attempt by Germany in 1898 to take possession of Brazil was foiled by drastic measures of the Brit ish fleet, which blocked the way of the German battleships in the English channel and gave them three hours to turn back.
 The attempt was made at that time. said MT. Arnold because Germany, seeing the United States at war with Spain, believed the American govern ment poWerless to halt her.
 MT. Arnold said he received his in- formation from British officer. "This officer was suddenly ordered to join his ship and when he returned five days later, he told me-" he said, "that news had come to officials that Germany was preparing to send her fleet to Brazil, and the British war ships were ordered out to enforce a demand that the Germans turn back within three hours, which they did"

 Raids of growing intensity and ire quency on the Franco-Beisian front furnished chief features oi military interest, particularly in view of in. creasing degree of American part1- equation. Larger issues, however, are involved in the Russian situa- tion, uncertainties of which are giv- ing rise to manifold complications.
 Peace negotiations between the BolsheViki and the Germans seem to have been broken off. Manifestly there is developing growing belliger- ency among the Russian proletariat, who, with the safety of the revolution as a rallying cry, are reported re spending from all sides to support 1t. Likewise peace negotiations be- tween Roumania and the central powers are reported in unofficial ad- vice from Berlin to have failed. The unsatisfactory reply ot the Rou- manian king is said to nave been re- sponslble. A semi-official Berlin statement, however, says the German and Austrian representatives have not left Bucharest, where the ses- sions were held
