sand soldiers OF the Polish legion. aided
by the population OF Warsaw, dis
armed more than 10000 German SOL

against their own officers.
And food and all telephone wires
we're removed by the Germans. All in
custrial plants were dismantlel. Dis.

to the correspondent today: =

German occupation and 20 put us on

AT the present time the economic
situation is confused because Russian
rubles, Austrian crowns and German
marks are in circulation. ~ elr@
First. we must establish a :. sound
government which will have the con-
ficence of the outside world. Any
government must have, money but It
can not get money without confidence.
When such government is established
we will put out foreign loans for~the
purpose Of buying material. It is even
necessary for US to obtain money to
buy clothes, machinery and locomo-
tives Everything in the country must
be rebuilt along new lines.
The Germans transported home all
the machinery from the industrial city
of Kalioz and then set fire to the city.
This was one of the first great crimes
in 1914. They did this altho there was
no battle fought there. They drove out
the people by bombing the city and
then robbed.it.
1.-The Germans also requisitioned all
the factories in Lodz. which is the
Polish Manchester, with it's vast cotton
and woolen mills. During their entire
occupation. they continued to loot
Lodz. Even last September they carried
away all the iron plates from the fac
tories. - 2, ...~.
They stole our vegeta bles and
fruits. They took by requisition every
thing they wanted. While they did not
rop our banks, on the third day OF the
occupation of Warsaw in 1915 the
director Of the Deutsche Bank Of
Berlin came to me and demanded my
cash balance of rubles. the surrender
of which hel claimed would regulate
our debts to his bank. The Germans

SHOT THREE TIMES.

There was a shooting scrape in
the Penney's Creek section on last
Sunday. Clint Anderson shot Henry
Clinkscales. 1t seems that the ne
groes were being dismissed from
church and Clint Anderson invited
young damsel to ride home with
him. While he had gone to hitch up
another "beau" came along and
invited the girl to walk with him
which she did. When Clint finally
caught up with them they began a
row. Henry Clinkscales interferred
to settle the fuss. Anderson began
shooting at Clinkscales, three shots
out of four taking effect. The ne
groes are, between the ages of fif-
teen and seventeen years.
Sheriff Burts and Deputy Sheriff
Joe Jones went up there Sunday
night but did not catch the boy. On
Monday Mr.. S. M. Beatty brought
him down and turned him over to
the authorities. He is in Jail now.
The other negro is in a pretty bad
condition.

ed by Admiralty
AMERICAN HEROES REWARDED
Rescuers of Survivors of Gienart
Castle Lauded in the House of
Commons.

London, March 13.-"Profound
appreciation" for the work of the
American destroyer Parker in res
cuing survivors Of the British hos
pital ship Glenart Castle was voiced
by Thomas Mcnamara, the British
admiralty's spokesman, in the house
of commons today.
Mr.. McNarama made his state
ment in reply to questions by Sir J.
Fortescue Flannery, who called the
attention of the admiralty to the
heroism and seamanship displayed
by the crew of the Parker.
The admiralty, said Mr.. McNama-
ra, profoundly appreciated thu ,sea-
manship and very great gallaAtry
displayed by the American destroy
er Parker in rescuing nine survivors
of the Glenart Castle, which was
sunk in the Bristol Channel late in
February. Two of the destroyer's
complement deserve the greatest
credit, he added, for their action in
jumping overheard to effect rescues.
AS to official recognition of their
services, he stated, the award was
not matter for the British govern
ment but for the American authori-
ties.
Sir, Owen Phillips, chairman and
managing director Of the Union
Castle line, to which the Glenart
Castle belonged, announced that his
company, which fully recognized the
gallantry of these American SOL
diers, had already approached the
American admiral and asked per-
mission to reward the men, but, in
a very nice letter, the admiral had
said this could not be allowed.

German Airplanes Make Another
Raid Over Northeast Coast of
!, England.

While the Entente Allies are "nib-
bling" at the German lines from the
North sea to Switzerland, but are
making little or no serious attempts
to break through or bring about a
eliminating struggle, the Teutonic
Powers have taken another step in
the exploitation of the east. The ad-
vance guards of the Germans have
entered Odessa, the greatest Rus
sian port on the Black sea and the
center of great agricultural, sec
ton, the products of which are des-
tined to feed the hungry peoples of
the Central Empires. The German
advance through Moldavia and Bes-
sarabia has been virtually unopposed
Stores of Wheat.
With Odessa safely in their hands
the Teutons will have access to vast
stores of wheat, which can be trans
ported overland or by sea to points
where, it can be readily shipped into
Austria and Germany. e..
But the capture of Odessa will
mean something more -,an advance
over the route to Persia and Afghan
istan, and possibly India, which is
to besfoilowedI now, that the British
have severed the famous Berlin-and
z gBagdad route to the east.
May be Historic,
The Congress of Russian Soviets,
which was to have convened at Mos
cow on Tuesday, postponed its meet
ing until Thursday. This gathering
may be historic; as it will be asked
to ratify or reject the peace forced
upon the Bolsheviki peace delegates
by the Germans at Brest-Litovsk.

able that the message of President
Wilson to the Russian people will be
read. .
On American Front.
The American sector in Lorraine,
which is now definitely located east
of Luneville, is the most active on
the French front. Great artillery
combats are being carried out by
the Americans, who have demon
strated by raiding operations that
their artillery fire has forced the
Germans virtually to abandon their
front lines. Two hundred gas pro-
jectors, installed for the purpose of
support attacks on the Americans,
have been destroyed by shells.
