 "A bullet passed my head and hit a fellow in back of me in the cheek. I can't dope out how it missed me but close calls don't take you to the hospital for a rest anyway. One fel- low had a shell land so close to him that the concussion threw him across the road. He got real shell shock and he went dippy.
 When we went over we threw our packs away and chased the boche. They had 8 head start, but when we did catch up and they started to say 'Kamerad' they were the hottest looking bunch I ever saw. We took quite a. few prisoners but I think now the ones we did get think we are a bunch of nuts. We could not put them out of business with their hands up but a few got an American punch on the jaw. The second day we did not see live Boche and went about ten kilometers, about six miles. We were on the go for six days and were glad to see our relief coming. We are going to get some more men to fill up the company again.
 We are near an English camp and they have a bunch of prisoners that were taken in 1916. It will take a Yankee division to drive them back into Germany when the war is over, because they are iuncIQXer kaoM. I

 When people read about the cures made by d medicine endorsed from far away. is it surprising that they wonder if the statements are true! But when they read of cases right here at home, positive proof Is within their reach, for close investigation is an easy matter. Read New Britain endorsement of Doan'S Kidney Pills. Louis Michels, AT Church St., New Britain, says: q was bothered hy dull pains in my back for some time. was always on my feet and suffered a great deal. I had that pain when I was in bed also and l could hardly move around on account of 1t and I was lame and sore mornings.

Seized by Federal Officers on Order
From Attorney GeneraI-Handled

Plattsburg, N Y, Jan. 21.-Adolph
Pavenstedt, former associate of Count
Won Bernstorff when the latter was
BolO. Pasha was arrested at Lake
Placid hotel. The order for his arrest
was issued by Attorney General Greg
DRY.
PavenStedt, who is a private banker
and the pOSSeSSOr of large wealth, ex-
pressed surprise when arrested, claim
ing he knew of no reason for his ap-
prehensiOn. He was locked up in the
county Jail, where he awaits an order
from the United States attorney gen
erals office as to the disposition to be
made of his case.
Definite information as to the
charges upon which the arrest was
made were not divulged. From admis-
sions made by the prisoner under oath
last fall as to his intimate association
with Count Won BernstOrff, BolO Pasha,
DR.. Bernard Dernburg and Count Won
Jagow, however, it was assumed some
form of espionage charge was the basis
for his incarceration.
Pavenstedt owns a magnificent es-
tate in Westchester overlooking the
Hudson river. He was formerly presi-
dent Of the private banking and ex-
porting house Of G. Amsinck & Co..
which, according to testimony, en-
joyed yearly export business of $780,
100000. The house had wide connec-
tions, with 5000 trading accounts in
Latin America.
The connection of Pavenstedt with
the handling of money from the
Deutschebank in Berlin, through Won
Bernstorff, which Bolo Pasha was to
use in purchasing a Paris newspaper
to use in propaganda for an early
peace was revealed last October when
the $1,7OO,OOO fund was under investi-
cation here.

Pavenstedt's admission, placed the ST.

COAL SITUATION IMPROVES
Chicago's Reserve Supply Now Over
Its Immediate Needs.

Chicago, Jan. 21.-Favorable wealth
er and the material curtailment of coal
consumption by industries during the
first days of the five-day shutdown
period yesterday found Chicago's coal
reserve on the increase. The days re-
ceipts were larger than any day for
two weeks. Preference to deliveries
for domestic use after the needs of the
railroads, public utilities, food-produc-
Ing plants and exempted war indus
tries removed immediate danger of
further prolonged shortage for homes,
apartment buildings and institutions.
Incoming coal this week will add to
the surplus because of the curtailment
of consumption effected by the double
holiday Continued storm-free wealth
er is in prospect and by Tuesday the
local coal yards should be in better
shape, according to authorities hand
ling the situation, than any time since
the recent big railroad tie-up.

Special Fincer-Print Camera.
British Lose Small Craft

For police officers and others who
have need of getting finger print evi-
dence from material that cannot be
preserved or removed from it's environ
ment, special camera has been per-
fected. 1t takes a photograph of the
finger-print wherever it may be. In
operating the camera no Photographic
skill or experience nor even a tripod
is necessary. The camera is held tight
against the surface of the door, ceiling
wallpaper or whatever the finger-print
has been made. The shutter release
lever is then pressed down; this au-
tomatically closes the circuit to the
four lamps inside the camera and thus
lights them, providing the illumination
for the exposure. The necessary cur
rent is provided by storage batteries
inside the camera.-Popular Science

AUSTRIAN LABOR TROUBLES
AFFECTS WAR MUNITIONS
ASKS EARLY RAIL Law
McAdoo Wants Action Before
New Liberty Loan.
Declares Suggested Law Would Sat.
isfy Investors of Stability of
Their Holdings.

Washington, Jan. 21.-William G..
McAdoo, secretary of the treasury and
director general Of the railroads Of the
United States. wishes to market $1O,-
0OO,OOO,OOO of Liberty bonds before
June 80, which will be the end of the
fiscal year.
Properly to stabilize the nation's
finance, he explained to the senate
interstate commerce committee, so
that the proposed Liberty loan can be
foated, it will be necessary for con-
gress speedily to enact the administra-
ton railroad bill.
The legislation he pleaded for, he
SAID, would clarity the financial situ-
alton by insuring the holders Of the
railroad stocks and bonds their Gus
tomary returns from their invest
ments. If the bill should not be
enacted, he pointed out, the money
and security markets would remain
disturbed and make it difficult to
float the proposed 100000, 900 Lib
erty bond issue.
However, if congress speedily will
enact the administration railroad bill,
Mr.. McAdoo said, the country will be
better prepared to absorb the Lib
erty loan bonds, because all investors
In railroad securities will have been
assured Of returns that will be the
same as the average for the last three
years.
Director General McAdoo said some
good had been accomplished in the
three weeks of government control of
railroads through rerouting, distribu-
ton and coordination.
Questioned regarding the necessity
for government control, Mr.. McAdoo
said it was made necessary by the
railroads lack Of facilities to handle
increased war traffic and their failure
properly to coordinate.
Disclaiming any intention to cen.
sure the carriers, he said blame for
not meeting the transportation situa.
t1on rested upon the nations failure
to increase rail facilities in 1916 and
1917. In those years, he said, the
roads spent less for improvements
than in previous years, despite In.
creased traffic.
Mr.. McAdoo urged that the ap.
preparation Of S5OO,COO,OOO in the bill
be retained, to enable the govern.
ment to increase facilities or make
good deficiencies, although he hoped
it would not be necessary to use the
money for this purpose.
