INDIANA DRY LAW HELD ILLEGAL
Superior Court Rules Constitution Of
State Does Not Permit Such Law.

Evansville. Ind.-Indiana's state
wide prohibition law was held 10 be un'
constitutional and void by Judge F. NJ.
Hostetter, of tho Vanderburgh county
superior court here, in ruling on de.
murrer to a complaint fled by mum.
Der OF brewing companies against the
county prosecutor to enjoin him from
enforcing the law after April .. 1918,
the date named for II TO take effect.
The action OF the court disposes Of
the last of the preliminary steps before
actual trial on the fact, and opens the
way for an immediate appeal to the
Indiana supreme court If the dry" in
terests desire to take that step.
Judge Hostetter declared the pro-
hibition law, in his opinion was not
one designed to limit and regulate the
making and handling of alcoholic bev-
erages, nor to confiDe the use of such
beverages within the bounds of tenn
perance and moderation, but absolute
ly to make intoxicating liquor legally
impossible. He decided the present
constitution of Indiana would not per
nit such a law to stand.

POLAND AROUSED
over Land GRAB
EM5ITTERED OVER TUEToNs FOR
GIVING STRIP OF COUNTRY
TO UKRANIANS.
UPSETs PLANS OF GERMANY
Polish Army, Organized to Fight for
Teutons Against Russia, May Be
Turned Against Them.

London-Germany has suddenly
found herself involved in a maze of
difficulties on the eastern front and
in danger of losing ali the large bene-
fits she was calmly preparing to rea-
lie from her peace with the Ukraine.
Poland, that land which so frequent
ly in the course of history has proven
thorn in the side of military con-
querors, is threatening to constitute
herself the rock on which the German
hope of peace and gainful expansion
in the east may be shattered. Embit
tered by the tearing oil OF q strip OF
their territory to be given the Ukraine
for breaking away from the bolshevih
and signing a peace with the central
powers. the Poles are in what appears
to be virtually a state of revolt.
Even the very weapon which Ger.
many and Austria we're at such pains
to forge in the hope of deriving mill
tary beneit--the Polish army-bids
fair to be turned against them. Reports
i'm the German newspapers which ex'
press dismay and alarm over the Pol
ish situation, indicate that the Polish
legations and the Polish soldiers now
are on the side of the Poles in embit
terment against the Germans. The sit
uation has grown so serious that the
German military are patrolling the
streets in Warsaw.
Austria-Hungary is particularly in
volved in the difficulties because Of
the prominent part which it was ex'
pected she would play in the future
government of Poland. The Polish ele-
ments and those sympathizing with
them in the dual monarchy are up in
arms over the situation and further in
ternal troubles are threatened.

BABIES DIE IN RUNNERY FIRE
Loss Of Lite Probably Will Reach 75--
Number of Bodies Recovered.

Montreal-Probably rs children lost
their lives in fire that destroyed the
Grey nunnery, one OF the largest and
oldest in eastern Canada. A number
OF charred bodies have been recovered
from the ruins.
The fire, the cause Of which is attri.
buted to defective electric wiring.
started in the dormitory OF the creche,
where there were 10 children, mostly
babies OF few days or weeks old.
Nuns and nursing sisters made
heroic efforts to save the children. The
flames and loss of life were confined
TO this section OF the nunnery, al
though at one time the entire institu-
ton was threatened with destruction.
There were more than 1000 inmates
of the nunnery, including patients in
q hospital for returned and sick SOL
diers, which was situated directly IN.
der the babies dormitory.
All the hospital patients and many
aged bed-ridden inmates were carried
TO safety by fremen and soldiers.

RUCTl0N IN BRITISH CABINET
Robertson Disaarees With War coun.
ciI-Quits As Chief of Staff.

London. General Sir William Rob
ertson, chief OF the British imperial
staff, has resigned. it was officially
announced. General Wilson, sub-chief
of STAFF, takes the vacated place.
General Robertson was unable, the
statement says, to accept a position
as military representative on the
supreme war council at Versailles or
to continue as chief OF the imperial
general STAFF with limited power.
The Sunday Observers military
correspondent says that since General
Robertson's return from Versailles, at
has been an open secret. that though
as good soldier he acquiesced in
decisions of the war council after
they had been adopted, he did not ap-
prove Of them and had he remained
In Office he would have been in the

LOWER COAL PRICE EXPECTED
Fuel Administration Orders Jobber' s
Profits Eliminated.

hington.-Reduction in the re-
tail prices OF both anthracite and
bituminous coal is expected by the
fuel administration as the result of o
decision 10 eliminate jobbers' COM
missions after next April i.
Under the new regulations, retail
dealers will obtain coal at the same
price whether purchasing directly
from the mine or through middlemen.
The mine price will be increased
slightly TO provide for the operators
added expense, but the advance will
not be equal to the commission nov
allowed the jobber.
Elimination of jobbers' commits
sions, the fuel administration an
nounced, was necessary in order TO
wipe out systematized form OF pro-
fiteering which has increased the cost
OF fuel TO the consumers.

GERMANY TRYING

mo War, But No Peace" Plan OF
Trotzky Rejected at Conference
of Teuton Military Leaders.

London-Germany has resolved ia
renew military activities against north
ern Russia.
This decision was reached at n con.
ference at imperial headquarters. spe
cial dispatches from Holland say.
The conference was attended By
Emperor William, Chancellor Won
Hertling. Field Marshal Won linden.
burg, General Won Ludendorff, For.
eign Secretary Won Kuehlmann and
others.
The mo war, but no peace" plan OF
Leon Trotzky. the Bolshevik foreign
minister, was rejected at the confer
eace, according to the Amsterdam cor.
respondent OF the Daily Express, and
as Trotzky does not want peace he
will get war.
Invasion OF Russia will continue, at
any rate until Petrograd is occupied
by German troops.
The Germans take the view thet
Trotzky's declaration, although il did
not end the war; automatically ended
the armistice, which expired Feb.
ruary IA.
The Germans now have a free
hand, and while it does not mean an
Immediate invasion towards Petrograd,
it is certain that support will be given
the Ukraine.
The Germans are carrying on an
active propaganda, with a view to
splitting up Russia and posing as a
protector to the new states. II is be.
lieved that the Bolsheviki are now
moving troops against the Ukraines.

The total value of the mineral pro-
duction of the country in 1916 was
more than $3,470,O00O0O, increasing
$1,076 100000, or 40 per cent, over the
$2,393, 100000 recorded for 1915, ana
exceeding the former record year
q913) by more than $1,000000,000. ac-
cording to preliminary figures compiled
by Uncle Sans geological survey.
Practically all the minerals shared in
this increase, gold being the only one
of the more important products that
showed a decrease In value, though
silver and anthracite showed decreases
In quantity but increases in value.
The metals established new record
In 1916. exceeding for the first time
$1,000000,000 and approximately to-
tai Of $1,622, 100000. Pig iron and cop
per contributed more than IS per cent

ures for 1915. the metallic products
increased 63 per cent.
