LICENSE DEALERS IN
 FOREIGN EXCHANGE
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT WILL KEEP CREDITS FROM
 ENEMY USE.

Washington. = Foreign exchange transactions announced by Secretary MeAdoo are placed strictly under the supervision of the federal reserve board, which will license dealers through federal reserve banks and re- ceiye reports periodically on each in diVidual purchase or sale. In this way the government seeks to insure that no credits go to assist any enemy inter- ests and to provide a well organized method for feeling the pulse of the foreign exchange traffic.
 The regulations were signed by President Wilson under authority of the espionage and trading with the enemy acts.
 Dealers in foreign exchange or se- curities for foreign correspondents are required to obtain registration cer- tificates by applying to the federal re- serve banks of the district, and are to be grouped in three classes accord ing to the nature of their business. Customers of these dealers then are to sign a statement for each purchase or sale, showing the purpose and de- claring that no enemy or ally of ena- my interest has any connection with the transaction. The statements must be filed with the federal reserve banks, together with weekly detailed reports from the foreign exchange dealers.
 "The regulations, says treasury explanatory statement, will put into the hands of the secretary and the fed eral reserve board full information as to the manner in which the credit ia cilities of the United States are being used. Through the power vested in the secretary and the federal reserve board to prohibit any bank or banker in the United States from doing busi ness with any foreign correspondent suspected of acts incompatible witt the interests of the United States, weapon is furnished to the govern ment which will be used to control an misuse of our credit facilities an which can be wielded with the neee' sary amount of vigor to accomplis
 the results sought.
 The procedure established has bee
 carefully devised so as to preserve th confidential relation existing betwee | the bank and it's customers, except i those cases where suspicious point t | the advisability of a detailed exam nation''

.BRUND|DGE PRIMARY LAW Is INTERPRETED
ATTORNEY GENERAL ARBUCkLE HANDS DOWN OPINION OF
 INTEREST TO VOTERS.
WILL GOVERN PRIMARIES
Voters Not Required To Present Poll Tax Receipt Which Includes Taxes in Process of Collection For Pe-
 riod Preceding Next Election.
Little Rock

Little ROCk.-
 John D. Arbuckle, attorney general of Arkansas, handed down an opinion of considerable importance to the cleo tors of Arkansas and one that will govern election officers in the general primaries to be held in May. He holds that in order to vote in the com ing primaries, under the Brundidge election law the voter is not required to present a poll tax receipt which shall include taxes in process of col lection for the period closing on the first Monday in July, 1913, but that 1917 poll tax receipt is sufficient.
 The attorney general says:
 "The question might be raised that city primaries are held earlier and during the tax paying time and before voter would have an opportunity to obtain a poll tax receipt during the present collection. I beg to call your attention to the fact that the time for holding general election of cities and incorporated towns is before the eX- piration of the tax paying time for tulS year UT DGlOIe lUe HTSI Mplludy n July of this year, and hence apply ing the rule as laid down in the 'Brundidge primary act the poll tax receipt to be demanded of those de- siring to vote in city primaries would be the receipt received at the tax pay ing time closing the first Monday in July, 1917."
 MT. Arbuckle pointed out that the Brundidge act was initiated, voted upon and adopted by the people, and provides that whenever political par ty in Arkansas holds primary for the nomination of candidate for Con- gress, the United States senatorship or any county, municipal or state of flee the primary is thereby made a le- gal election.
 In all legal elections in Arkansas the voter must exhibit a poll tax re- ceipt for the payment of taxes the time of the collection of taxes next preceding such election.

London. - The German strike is still growing in magnitude, the Ex- change Telegraph correspondent at Copenhagen reports. In Berlin 700,- coo persons are on strike, he reports, 5S, GOO of these being women.
 A great number of socialist leaders have been arrested in various German towns, according to this authority. The fact that Berlin is wrapped in d thick fog has made it impossible for the authorities to prevent the diSsem- ination of pamphlets, the reports state.
 The cessation of work in Hamburg is now virtually complete, according to a Daily Telegraph dispatch from Rotterdam. The strike has extended from the Vulcan shipbuilding works in Hamburg to the works of Blohmn 6 Voss, another large shipbuilding con- cern. The strikers demand an imme- diate peace on the basis of no annex ations and no indemnities.
 The Socialist party leaders in Ger many according to a statement in the Berliner Tageblatt, forwarded by the Amsterdam correspondent of the Central News, have asked President kaempf of tht Reichstag to summon the Reichstag immediately in view of the alarming events of the past few days. At meeting of the Berlin strikers the Tagtblatt adds, a resolu- tion was passed declaring that the e,t,, to ,t, netn nf their power any reprisals against their leaders or representatives.
 Fifty thousand workmen have ceas- ed work at Kiel. The strike is now which is the most important industrial section in Saxony. Field Marshal von Hindenburg's proclamation appealing to the workers to stop striking ap- peared on all the street corners of Berlin.
 Herr Walraff, minister of the intef1or, still refuses to meet delegates Of the workmen and the strike continues to grow.
 Among the views expressed in spe- cial dispatches from Holland in re- gard to the German trike is one that the German government is exploiting what hardly amounts to moro than a peace time demonstration with the object, if possible, of producing a more serious movement In allied countries, where it apparently believes the governments are less able than it. self to control such movements.

It is the job of George N. Peck, one of the foremost of the industrial ex- perts who are giving their services to the government for the duration of the war, to convert industrial plants to war production. He had been on the job only a few weeks, but the re- suits of his labors are already appar- ent in the steady mobilization of the nations producing power. Many fac tories which are not turning out fin- ished products for the government are relieving contract plants by making simple yet essential parts to. be as- sembled later with more intricate parts which a larger plant is making.

SMALL FIRE LOSS
Years Total Will Be Under $500 Still, Department Needs Modern Ap- paratus,

Danielson has come through another year with remarkable record of free dom from losses by fire. No town in Connections can show a better record, the total losses here for the twelve months period being less than $500 The most serious loss of the year was ore amounting to considerably less than $500, and was at the Palace laun- dry on Center street a few weeks ago Other trif1ing losses were caused through chimney fires and the like. That this good record may be main- tained, owners of property are urged to take particular precautions against damage by fire. Additional protection may be obtained by keeping cellars cleaned and preventing the accumula- ton of inf1ammable materials about properties. The cleaning of chimneys is also urged.
 >- It is felt in some quarters that, not withstanding the fine record of free | dom from fires that Danielson has ha6 during the past few years, the fire department should be strengthened by the purchase of a motor-d driven chem | ical, a piece of apparatus also equip l ped with pump and able to carry i 1000 feet of hose. Danielson is grow ing and some long runs are now lia-
 ble to be faced by firemen in getting
 to fires in the Industrial place section
 It will occur at once to the mind:
 of some that this property is not ir the borough, but the fact is that, should
 a fire occur there, the borough depart
 ment would extend it's very best ef
 forts to overcome the blaze, just a!
 much as though the fire were on any
 street within the borough, and this i.
 as it should be for the big plant ant
 the new properties about it mean { l great deal to Danielson and shoult have the fullest protection.
