Raw Materials Are
Needed.

to manufacture enough artillery to
supply 20 American divisions, or ap-
proximately 100000 troops, if the
United States meanwhile adheres to
an understanding by which France
would receive the necessary raw ma

tonight by Andre Tardieu, French
high commissioner to this country. Mr..
Tardieu said that there are in France
today more American troops than
comprised the American army at the
time the United States entered the
war At that time, he said the
American army contained about 212,-
600 officers and men.
He spoke at a dinner which was q
part of New York's celebration of the
Jour de L'Alliance Franchise. the
anniversary of the treaty between
France and the American colonies in
ITS. Jules J. Jusserand, the French
ambassador, also was a guest of hon

a thing OF the past, because "our
democracies want to know in order to

raise $4,O00,000 to provide recreation
and entertainment for our soldiers and
sailors. 'All work and no play makes
Jack Gull boy" is true saying, and

"Carl Liebknecht, the German social
ist," said a socialist at Cooper Union,
chad, before the war begun, many willy
ways of bamboozling the German gov
ernment, but, of course, after the war
started, a man Of his liberal views
couldn't possibly keep out of jail.

fiery speech against the kaiser in Ber-

platform, rose in the middle of the
speech, and whispered in the orators
ear. Liebknecht turned to the audi

ALCOHOL FROM BANANAS NOW
cuIIs Of the Fruit to Be Distilled by
Americans, Who Will Erect Plant
at Honduras.

Bananas suitable for export must
always be Of a certain size or number
Of hands. The rejection of smaller
punches by the fruit companies has
always been source Of complaint and
also of loss to the planters. It is now
proposed to use them in the manufac-
ture of alcohol, says report made by
Consul r. M. LawtOn at Tegueigalpa,
Honduras.
By executive order, the president
of Honduras, has signed a contract
by which an American Of long expert
ence in the fruit business in the trop-
les, representing a company OF Ameri-
can capitalists, is granted the right
to erect q distillery at San Pedro Sula,
Honduras. The concessionaire has de-
posted $4,000 with the government
as an earnest of good faith, which is
to be credited toward export duties
on the alcohol at three cents gold per
gallon.
The company proposes to supply
planters with funds for planting
sugar cane on the worn-out banana
lands, and will also distill from the
cane, the bagasse Of which is to be
used in the manufacture of paper. Ex-
periments will be made in the manu-
facture of paper from banana waste.

Verdi Instead of Joseph.

Some years ago one of the members
Of the Trieste council was informed by
secret agent that, within a few
hours the city would be faced by de-
mand on the part of Austria for the
erection Of statue Of Emperor Fran
els Joseph in it's principal square. A
meeting of the city council was imme-
diately called. 1t sat during the night
hours, and passed resolution affirm
ing the intention of the city to put up
a statue to Verdi on the very spot
chosen by the hereditary enemy. On
the following morning the demand Of
Austria was received, but the council
replied that their decision was already
taken, and that 1t could not be re-
voked. The people of Trieste see in
the statue Of the great italian COM
poser, observes correspondent, a
symbol Of Irredentism, not only be-
cause Of Verdi's nationality, but be-
cause the five letters of the name
Verdi stand for "Viva ell Re d. Italia"

Irishmen at the Front.

The first American officer to be
killed in France was Lieutenant FitZ-
simmons of Kansas City, who lost his
life when German airmen bombed hos
pitals in the rear of the British line
where he was stationed as a medical
officer in charge Of wounded. The
first American nOncOmmissioned Off
Ger to lose his life in the overseas eX-
pedition was Sergt. Patrick Cassidy
Of Syracuse, N. Y. The first Ameri-
can private soldier to give up his life
for his country in France was Private
James Tracy Of Philadelphia. The
first American soldier to win the
French war cross with palms, awarded
for conspicuous gallantry, was Private
John McClain of Peekskill, N. Y. All
these young men, as their names in
dicate, were Americans Of Irish de-
scent which is fair enough record,
says the San Antonio Light, for the de-
scendants of the Emerald Isle.> All Of
them are said to have been native
born Americans, too.

MUMMIFIED SNAKE IN LOG
Reptile Hermetically Sealed in Heart
Of Walnut Timber Discovered
at SaWmill.

Trapped in a chamber in the heart
of walnut tree, which had eveident-
ly been its winter home, blacksnake
was found mummified in the hermet-
1cally sealed tomb after a lapse of 20
or more years. The layers of new
timber formation indicated the period
of the reptiles Imprisonment.
A handsome walnut log two and one
half feet in diameter, shipped to a
mill at Johnson City, Tenn, from
Wawnesville, N. c., held the impris-
Oned coil of the dead snake. To the
eye the log was perfect. After the
carriage had passed back and forth
a time or two the saw uncapped a
beautifully polished vacuum, with a
dark coil lying within. Lifted out, the
coil proved to be the preserved form
of a snake. Exposure to air caused a
sudden shrfnkage.
N''The snake had undoubtedly crawl
ed into the tree through a hole
made by q broken limb that had
decayed at the base," said M. L..
Scifers, a member of the company
operating the mill. "The new layers
Of timber, which had enveloped the
opening, were of a thickness to indi-
cate growth Of probably 20 years
since the snake entered the cav
ity to find the exit suddenly closed
against it's escape, probably due to
the dropping of small piece of bark
which covered the opening"
