Say Wells is Released.

By Associated PTese
BERLIN, Tuesday, Dec. 2i-Herr
Wells, the military commander or
Berlin, who was arrested Monday by
revolving sailors during the fighting in
which many sailors and republican
guards were killed and wounded was
released shortly before noon today.
He spent the night IN the basement
of the former royal stables.
That he escaped violence and pos
sible death was due to the interces-
sion of socialist leaders with the sail
ors.
Fifty sailors, II is reported, are still
concealed In the red palace, from
which most of them were driven
Monday by the republican guards.
One thousand and two hundred sailors
are holding out In the royal stables.
Both groups have sent out word that
the building would have to be razed
before they surrendered.
Looting has been In progress In the
palace since yesterday and by early
this morning many private posses
sions of the former emperor and for
mer empress has been carried away or
destroyed.
A report was in circulation at two
O'Clock this afternoon that the ma
rines were expecting heavy reinforce
ments from Riel and Wilshelmshaven.

from Berlin late Christmas night that
nearly the entire Berlin garrison will

These advices were transmitted by

to be coming from Kiel to join their
comrades In Berlin.
A large number of the soldiers be-

may be given them on the walls Of

the surface of the roof.
Another possibility in the finish of
the walls of the building is found in
the use of rough beveled siding or
clapboards. This siding may be OBJ
tanned in various widths and consider
able change in appearance is made
possible by variations in this respect.
The siding is stained In the finishing
process, since the gloss Of a paint
finish is not appropriate to this style
of dwelling. The trim on the exterior
is likewise finished with a nOnglossy
surface. 1t is quite common for the
trim around windows and doors to be
finished darker than the wall surface
surrounding it, provided this wall sur
face is not so dark that relief is neces-
sary in the opposite direction. 1t is
surprising that even small amount
of dull-surface trim finished quite dark

will seem TO brighten large wall sur
face around it, resulting in an appear
ance which is pleasing beyond all ex-
pectations.:
Those people who are only mildly
enthusiastic about this rustic wood
house are inclined to see too much
dull color in it's external appearance.
There are methods of relieving this
effect if it does not suggest the beau
ties of natures own building material
and is not pleasing in the fullest sense.
The easiest of these is in an adjust
ment of the number, size and arrange
ment of windows. The interior hang
ings used on windows may be utilized
to add the desired touch of color or
white to the view of the exterior, in
varying degree as the adjustment of
windows just mentioned is developed

extensively or otherwise. In the same
line of thought, the sash Of the win
dOws may be finished white, which has
a very decided Frightening effect. The
third method consists in the proper
design Of and selection of material for
the chimneys. There is nearly always
an outside chimney in the design of
such house. Properly designed and
built Of just the right sort Of materials,
this outside chimney may be made to
bring into the design all Of the bright
color that is needed.
The house shown in the accompany
ing perspective view and plan en-
bodies some Of the principal character
istics Of this style and presents some
other ideas in building that are inter-
esting. The shingle-fnished walls and
the pergola-fashioned dormer and side
porch, the large rough-fnished brick
chimney laid up in white mortar and
the attractive easement windows all
combine to produce an unusual effect,
but one that is thoroughly pleasing and
satisfactory. Somewhat unusual is the
stopping off of the cornice above the
front wall windows.
The floor plans of this dwelling are
very interesting. There is a large liv-
ing room which Is entered from a YES
tibule hall at the side entrance to the
house. The ceiling Of this living room
is paneled. The fireplace is built in
the side wall near the forward end of
the room and wall seat Is carried en-
tirely across the front wall from the
fireplace to the partition between the
living room and the library. The Ii
hrary ceiling is paneled with box eff
feet which makes 1t possible to use
some very attractive lighting fixtures.
Double sliding doors are placed be-
tween the living room and the dining
room. The latter room has broad
window seat built across the bay be-
meath three windows In the main wall
and two smaller windows in the end
walls. A serving pantry between din
ing room and kitchen is an important
feature. The first floor plan also in
cludes q small bedroom, toilet and nu-
merous closets. The second floor plan
includes bedrooms and the bath. Per-
gola-type porches are connected by
French doors with two of the bed.

GET MILK FOR HUNGRY BABY
Electric Car on Indiana Traction Line
Backed Eleven Miles to Re-
IieVe Infant.

The Highlander a car on the Terre
Haute, indianapolis and Eastern trac-
ton line, backed II miles into Brazil to
procure some milk that would stop the
crying of hungry baby.
The car, which left Brazil at 5:02
o'clock, ran only as far east as the
current is supplied from the Brazil sub
station. A break in the system near
Greencastle knocked out all service
during the early hours of the night
and the car waited until about eight
o'clock.
All persons on the car were hungry,
but did not express themselves so
clearly as the infant which cried lusti-
ly. John Burnett, passenger agent,
was moved by the baby's appeal and
ordered the trainmen to take the car
back to Brazil.

There are many people who are at
tracted by the spirit Of rough timber
construction in house design. The
style is one which has been extensive
ly used for club houses, summer
houses, resorts and other buildings re-
ance. Its application to house con-
struction came about in the establish
ment Of the craftsman-type bungalow
This is another example of the adapt
ability of the bungalow to a diversity
of styles in architectural treatment.
One of the developments which have
contributed to the success of this use
Of exposed timbers and rough lumber
is the perfection of stains which are
sufficiently preserving to keep the wood
in good condition over a long period
and yet produce a finish which does
not destroy the natural physical char
acteristics OF the wood. The style,
applied in the true sense, cOncealS

wood is utilized on the exterior as well
as within the building. Supporting
members are usually made oversize to
bring out the desired proportions.

sums up his observations In the fol-

II am convinced that Automobiles,

classes:
"First-The plain reckless irrespon-
sible, and sometimes drunken, driver.
"Second-The automobilist who is a

! he is driving.
"Third-A very large class of driv-
ers who are permitted to operate an
automobile without the proper expert
ence.
Remedies Recommended.
"To reduce the accidents my recon-
mendation would be as follows:
"First-The reckless driver should
be put in Jail; If professional, his
license should be taken away.
"Second-The highway should be

Shingles are an excellent form of
material to use on the walls of such a

supplied the home builder with shin
giles which, by a manufacturing proc

several different colors. The life Of
