viding for an increase for city em.
ployes came before the council
Wednesday, Chief of Police Smit i

aries from outside firms"
ut will be hard to replace these
men, too" said Chief Smith, AS
many of them have been in the de-
partment a number of years and
have valuable training that can b
acquired only by years Of serv-
ice.'
Representatives of three unions,
as well as the Civil Service league,
also appeared, demanding increas-

United Press War EXPERT,


Internal conditions in Austria
Hungary have become so critical
that the government Of the Haps
burgs' empire has been compelled
to subordinate itself to German
control in what is apparently a
final effort to prevent the break
ing up of the dual monorchy.
The visit of Emperor Karl to
the kaiser's field headquarters and
announcement that new treaties
are being drawn up between Aus
tria-Hungary and Germany, me IN
that Karl and the ruling caste ct
Vienna are abandoning the SOW
eign rights of their country be-
cause they cannot control the do
nestle situation.
Hereafter the German goverh-
ment will dictate Austro-Hur-
gary's policies as long as the meth
cd of suzerain rule keeps the Aus
tro-Hungarians from revolt.

Save Natural Ice For Use
in Summer-Saves Ammonia
az Well az Conserving Coal

prepared BY the United States Depart
mont Of Agriculture.l
All who can possibly do so are urged
by the United States department Of ag-
rculture to harvest supply Of natural
ice this winter and store II for sum-
mer use. This is Of vital Importance
at this time. for every ton gathered
will help in the wartime conservation
Of ammonia which Is necessary in the
manufacture of ice.
Ammonia salts are regarded as an
essential in the manufacture Of certain
fertilizers and the cost Of fertilizers Is
dependent to some extent on the mar
ket value Of ammonia. OF extreme sig
niflcance at this time, however, IL the
fact that the most important chemicals
used in making ammonium nitrate and
other explosives are readily made from
ammonia and every quart Of Americas
already small supply Of this substance
that can be saved means more power
to Americas armies.
Thus the farmer IL interested in the
conservation of ammonia not only from
national standpoint, but because of
his personal interests. Ammonia saved
through harvesting Of natural ice
means more ammonia for fertilizers
and more ammonia for ammunition.
The man who harvests ice now and
stores 1t in pits or ice houses, next
summer may have the satisfaction of
helping out his neighbor who depend
ed on an Ice plant. - %.
|, In addition to the saving Of am
monia, conservation Of coal Is to be
effected through the harvesting Of nat
ural ice. American ice factories and
