BULLET IN HEAD FOUR YEARS
Idaho Man Thought That He Had Been
Struck by lightning.

BOISE, Idaho, March 6.--Four years
ago G.. w. Dana, engineer on the Ore
gon Short Line, was in his cab down
in the yards when something struck
him violently on the top of the head.
Mr. Dana thought he had been struck
Dy lightning and after having the
wound bound up let il 90 at that.
During the last four years the wound
has given him considerable trouble,
never having completely healed. His
physician recently discovered that a
% calibrc bullet was embedded be-
tween the scalp and the skull. A man
who was working in the yards on the
day Mr.. Dana was hurt states that sew
cral boys were playing with rifles i'll
the willows near by and doubtless the
bullet Mr.. Dana has packed around se
faithfully came from one of these.

OUR DISPOSITION
TO TAKE NO PART
Views Have Been Expressed Through
Great Britain as an Intermediary
Expect Disinterested Purpose If ia
pan Takes Action in Siberia.

WASHINGTON. March cit is au-
stated today that the
United States has sent no communica-
tion to Japan on the subject of action
in Siberia and that if any views of
this government are expressed they
probably will be conveyed to Great
Britain, through which the United
States has received all its information
Of the situation.
1t is further stated that the United
States has not as5ented. dissented or
protested and that without any ex-
change Of written communications
Japan already understands the friend
" attitude of the United States and
its disposition to take no part
IN addition Japan understands that
the United States credits her with dis
interested purpose if action in Siberia
should be taken At the same time il
is understood Japan understands the
United States Is giving thought to the
moral effect in Russia of such action
and would feel that the absolute ne
cessity should be apparent before it i.
taken.
These views have been expressed tc
Great Britain, which, as an inferno
diary, advised the United States OF
Japan S views. 1t has been pointed ou'
to the state department officials thai
the Anglo-Japanese task is essential
ly conservative III spirit and that s,
far from contemplating or countenanc
ing aggressive action on the part o
either Great Britain or Japan with tn,
purpose of extending their territorial
possessions in the Far East the purpos
IS directly opposite and aimed to con
serve the present status of both ma
tions.
Reports reaching Japan from man.
quarters in Siberia have convince
the japanese government that an at
tack is to be feared from Germany, i
not directly then by stirring up tn
Bolsheviki in Siberia. Whether thi
apprehension is we'll founded is de
clared to be entirely within the iudg
ment of the japanese themselves.

rant sworn out by Counsellor Bergeron
of the French embassy, charging lar
ceny of from $3,500,000 to s6,00o,O00
from the French government by means
of truck and automobile contracts,
Frank Goldsall, formerly private in
the French army, was arrested here to
day and the federal authorities were
asked to return him to France. Accord
ing to the papers on which the war
rant was issued Goldsail has been indict-

being invalided from the French forces
he came to the United States with one
of the French official missions and 'while
not officially attached to them went
about the work of letting motor truck
contracts for the French army.
Investigations of the operations, the
papers say, disclosed that he had ex.
acted commissions ranging from to 2(
per cent from American manufacturers
from whom he bought. In addition tC
indicting him the French army already
has ordered Goldsall back to active

The Calgarian was torpedoed in the
late afternoon not far from the place
where the Tuscania met her doom. The
ships bell had Just sounded I o'clock
when torpedo struck. The shock was
so light that il was thought the vessel
had merely touched a mine astern. 1t

more by this time there were several

was hastened.
BY good fortune the Calgarian re-
manned anoat on an even keel some time.
II was possible TO take off nearly all the
crew except men in the stoke holds and
others who had been injured by the eX-

Most OF the rescued men were brought

provided and there were turned over u

who beat him so numerically that he
