Contracts with France and Great
Britain Cancelled.

High powered guns of French and
English make, which were used as the
artillery equipment of Pershing's army
in France, will be brought to this
country as a part of the artillery

England to furnish more artillery and
more ammunition. but all of these
have been cancelled by Edward Stet-
tinius, who went abroad for that and
other purposes as the special repre-
sentative of the War Department.
Mr.. Stettinius is now in Washington,
but may have to return to Europe to
close out the business.

Tough Luck.
1t is too bad when. a man has his
only good eye put on the blink just
because another guy makes a bone
head mistake.
Walter Wright used to have one
good eye. Now that one is half gone
Jim Willis is responsible. He ii
the fellow who tackled Walter and
indirectly was responsible for the in
jury to Walters good pepper.
Sometime ago a relative OF Willis
was arrested for bootlegging. A fel-
low named Moses was supposed ia
have been to blame for the arrest.
Walter was on his way to call on
Moses about a matter strictly per
sonal. He didn't know a thing about
the bootlegging case.
Willis and his pals saw Walter &c
into Moses house. They thought he
was going to tip off Moses that he
(Willis) was after him.
And so Willis hit Walter in the
eye. breaking his glasses. One of Will
lis pals came forward and cut Walter
in the eye.
Willis only was arrested. All the
court did to him was thirty days.

Rather than face his employer, he

He stayed until a few days ago
