ExPELLING LICHNowsKY

The Prussian house of lords wants
to exDel Prince Lichnowsky. the for
mer German ambassador to Great
Britain, who confessed to the world
the part played by the German gov
eminent in precipitating the war.
That is exactly what we should
have expected from the Prussian
house of lords-expelling any men,
Der who did anything so flagrantly
irregular as telling the truth.
But the action of this honest Prus-
sian diplomats colleagues is tardy
and futile. They can't fire Lichnow-
sky, for the good and sufficient rea-
son that he has already given up his
membership in that august body,
and gone to live in Switzerland,
where an honorable gentleman may
live self-respecting life.

DRY" HIGHWAYS

Prohibition territory in Minneso-
IA is to be protected from now on by
''bone dry" highways. The state
safety commission has recently put
in effect an order prohibiting the
carrying Of liquor into dry territory
IN any kind of vehicle. Heavy pen
alties are provided for infractions OF
this rule, and peace officers are au-
thorized to stop any automobile or
other vehicle ON any highway in the
district affected II they suspect that
Intoxicating liquor is being carried.
They may seize and confiscaie the
liquor as we'll as arrest the violator
Of the rule.
This highway order is much like
that prohibiting the railroads from
carrying liquor into dry territory.
In putting the order into operation
in his community the Duluth chief
OF police believes that the authori-
ties have already unearthed an un-
derground system of getting liquor
into the city. Duluth has been a
prohibition city since July last, and
is proud Of the good results indieat;
ed in police court records, humane
society reports, etc. The dry high
way order win enable the authori-
ties to make Duluth prohibition COM
pletely effective. protecting 1t and
other dry communities from the

towns.

More Prisoners Needed
From County Jail to Work
on the Almshouse Farms

With large crops to be harvested
and plenty of other farm work at the
county almshouse, officials in charge
said they will need the six prisoners
from the county Jail for many weeks
and may ask for additional volun-
teers BY an agreement with the
Board of Prison Inspectors, the Poor
Board had six men removed to the
almshouse farm from the county
prison. The men are kept at the
poor farm at night. working in the
fields during the day.
According to J. W. Early, steward,
and other officials of the Board of
Poor Directors, the men are well
pleased with the opportunity to work
in the open and are showing their
appreciation. Because the labor
shortage, many of the inmates who
had been at the institution for years
and during the summer months
helped with the work have left and
secured positions. One man. 72 years
old, who had been there and claimed
to be unfit for any work, left several
weeks ago and is now earning $50
a month.

CAPITOL. PARK
GREENHOUSE SOLD
FOR THE SCRAP
Building Costing $4,000 Goes
Under Auctioneer's Ham
mer For S505
WOMEN BUY BIG PLANTS
Giant Tropical Growths Sold
to Persons Who Have No
Use For Them

The State Capitol Park conserva-
tories, upon which the state of Penn
sylvania has spent almost $40. 900
since they were built about 1890,
were sold to-day to Samuel Fishman,
OF this city, for s505 at public sale,
subject to approval by George A.
Sh"einer, superintendent of Public
Grounds and Buildings. The conser-
vatories' contain over 900 feet of
pipe, thousands of panes of glass and
much apparatus and frames. Fishman
was the only bidder and objected
when it was proposed to refer the
bid TO Mr.. Shreiner, but later went
on with the offer which was cried by
Charles E. Ensminger. the auc-
tioneer, who sold the building.
The low bid attracted much atten-
ton, but the buyer, who has been an
extensive purchaser of buildings in
Capitol Park extension for the ma
'erial they contain, said 1t would
cost hundreds of dollars to wreck the
conservatory and that the market for
the material would be limited.
over 200 feet of iron fence was
then sold at $25.
About $700 was realized from the
sale of about 100 lots of plants. The
choicest plants were removed to a
greenhouse where the state has
leased space since it was determined
to remove the conservatory and give
UP the maintenance which costs
about $4,000 year for men alone.
There were many women at the sale
TO buy plants and spirited bidding
occurred on some things, among
them beds of heliotrope. Twenty
large plants. including palms and
nIn Of n n
niece, and one giant palm. given to
the state years ago by the late Mrs.
Jacob Haldeman and never out Of
the greenhouse, was sold to a woman
for 50. When she saw it was twelve
feet high she refused to take it and
Fishman took it off her hands for Il
dollar. What some of the people who
bought tropical plants are going to
do with them they could not say to-
day. Several will require half a
dozen men to lift them.

General Diaz Adds 1,6OO of

Now that the Piave line is again
intact, the Italians have begun oper-

to the further improvement of the
positions there. on the northwest
ern slopes of Monte Grappa, between
the Brenta and the Piave, they have
gained considerable ground and
taken more than 1900 prisoners.
Italian attacks on the mountain
front probably are for the purpose
of forestalling any intended enemy
effort there, as well as to improve
the Italian positions. Strong raids
are being carried out also on the

The attack was preceded by a
thirteen-h hour bonn bardment from the
American artillery.
German prisoners taken pay tri-
butte to the brilliant dash of the
Americans, declaring the men in the
assaulting party fought like demons.
The Germans were virtually clear

ago, but the discovery was made yes
terday that under cover of darkness
they had planted machine guns be-
hind huge boulders. in sunken road
ways, in shell holes and in trees in a
narrow area on the edge of the wood.
1t was most difficult to get at them
in these positions, and some fierce
hand -to-hand fighting occurred dur
