WEIGHING GODS0L COMPLAINT.

Justice Hitz of the District Supreme
Court has under consideration the
question of the sufficiency of the COM
plant of Ambassador Jusserand for the
extradition to France Of Frank J. God
sol, the French soldier charged with
securing more than 81 100000 from the
republic of France by false represen-
tations made to the PierceArrow Mo-
tor Car Company in connection with
the purchase of automobile trucks for
war use. He expects to announce a de-
cision within few days.
Should the court sustain the view of
the law taken by counsel for Godsol
the prisoner will probably be released
from custody If the view of the gov
eminent that the complaint sufficiently
acquaints Godsol with the charge
against him Is sustained by the court
r. date for the presentation Of evidence
will be set.
Godsol was returned to the District
Jail at the end of the hearing yester-
day. He has been in custody nearly
two months.

everything look robust and adjacent.
lot: of COOLERS insist on glimpsing
through the Pacific side Of the tele-
scope, which shows the end OF the

Gloomy customers, calamity squeak

bifocals at the pontoon Of American
troop transports which are going to
bridge this world crisis.
a lot of people hate to see spring
tapping its wings because they know
they are due for a slight touch OF
spring fever and everything. When
spring comes gliding north their coun-
tenanceS go Salioplng south because
they feel their ambition taking vaca-
ton for the summer and their elbows
dropping a little nearer their oxfords
than usual. With those yaps spring
only means that they will have spring
fever all summer and hay fever at the
end. and they'd be sore if every cloud
didn't have a pewter lining.
Look at the war gardener who thinks
only of potato bugs while he is plant
ing his spuds! He's had young war
on his hands every summer of his life
just because he breads the potato in

BEARS LOCKED IN CAGES
FOR DISREGARDING SIGNS

Because the polar bears and other
bears at the Zoo refused to pay at
tention to the signs of Fresh Paint"
hanging on the bars Of the bear pits
the animals have been locked in their
cages for a few days.
Yesterday the iron bars inclosing
the pits were given their spring coat
of nice green paint. Pretty soon one
of the big polar bears leaned against
the bars. and then a bright little boy
wandering with his mother about the
Zoo exclaimed:
"Oh, mamma. see the funny white
zebra with green stripes"
That settled 1t for the bears and the
animals were herded into their cages
to remain until that paint dries.
