Treat, now en- route to Italy to take

Italy. He is taking the place Of Major
General Eben Swift, who soon will re-
turn to Washington.
! The regiment now in Italy is one of
those which arrived in France several
months ago and underwent intensive
training under French tutors. 1t is
said that one of the reasons for Sc
lecting them for the honor Of leading
the other American troops to the
mountain line held by the Italians
was the excellence of :heir machine
gun battalions.
Until the situation clears percepti-
bly, in France it is not thought that
many more American troops will go
to Italy from there. In some quar-
ters it is said that the larger share
Pershing will dispatch will not move
before early spring. No secret is
made Of the fact that the American
general staff plans te give the army
no the Italian front a share of
Americas assistance comparable with
the aid which was sent to the west
ern front. AS yet there is no reason
to believe that Americans will join in
operations on the Balkan front as it
is believed that given the equipment
! the Greek forces will be ample to
meet the requirements Of the cam
paign which undoubtedly will be un-
dertaken on the Albanian front in the
spring.

NEW SWINDLE IN
BRITISH COLUMBIA

Vancouver, b. c. July 29.-County
police in the farming sections of
British Columbia are hunting for a
number Of clever crooks who have
been imposing fines on farmers for
having too much meat. flour and other
provisions in their possession. One
farmer reports having been fined $25
by one of these supposed inspectors
who had been fed by the farmer and
housed all night. At breakfast, the
visitor was served with bacon. The
fine was then imposed for serving
meat on a meatless day.

London, July 29.-"We consider

cends every other problem in recon-
structiOn."
| 1t recommends that enemy shipping
when seized should be divided nOng
the countries whose shipping l. suf-
fcrcd, should be sold so as to exclude
enemy or neutral buyers.
"The exclusion of enemy shipping
from ports of the British empire
would be Of little value to British
shipping" says the report, "as it
would leave open all the American
trades unless all the allies are pre-
pared to adopt similar measures.
Freedom of the seas in the sense Of
equal treatment of all flags in all
ports should therefore be cardinal
principle in our postwar policy"
The declaration is counter to the
stand of the British Seamen's union,
which declared boycott on German
goods and ships because Of U-boat
crimes.
The committee recommends the
government relinquish it's control over
merchantmen, when peace comes and
| that efforts be made to build two mil
lion tons of merchant ships annually

HERO BELITTlEs DEED
Doesn't Think Much of Act That

All He Did Was Swim River Under
Fire and Rescue Wounded
Frenchman.

Pittsburgh.-"Now listen, get mel
There's been so much hot air about
this hero stuff that want you to get
it straight. l saw this French bird
across the river and l went and got
him. If hadn't someone else probably
would have taken the same chance"
In these words Capt. Walter r.
Flannery, who was awarded the Cross
of War for swimming the Marne river
and rescuing a wounded French sol
der at the time the Germans held the
Aisne-Marne salient, disposes of any
attempt to make hero of him for the
deed. AT the time Flannery was lieu
tenant. He is at his home here on a,
furlOugh.
The wounded man lay on the bank
across the river from where the
Americans were stationed at Savigny.
Disregarding a French officers warn
ing that it probably was ruse to at
tract Americans over that the Huns
might learn what division opposed
them, Flannery waited until nightfall,
when he stripped to his underclothing
and swan across. The Germans
spotted him and most of the trip was
under water. Flannery tells the rest
of the story as follows:
''When / got over found the man,
All the French l knew was 'ici, icf--i
here, here'-and then the bird went
hysterical and refused to come into
the water. He was too weak to tie
the rope / had brought along, so /
had to drag him in. We got over all

"But the joke was that a couple OF
days later / got orders to report to a

duty of some sort. presented my

"Then l was told to go forward on
the parade ground, and French gem
eral lined me up, pointed sword al
me and turned on the French. II
wasn't much of a conversation, for ,
didn't know what he was talking about,
so l just grinned. Then he let down
the sword, pinned this on me-the
Croix de Guerre-and started kissing

from ear to ear. I'm off saving meB

Early Receipts
Avoid Famine

Bismarck, Jan. 18.-Priority ship
ments of eastern coal to the north
west before the close of the naviga-
ton of the Great Lakes avoided
coal famine in North Dakota this Win
ter, according to State Fuel Admins
traitor l. P. Baker, who, in statement
to the press today, defends Federal
Fuel Administrator H. A. Garfield for
the manner in which he handled the
situation.
"In view of the severe criticism of
DR.. Garfield" Administrator Baker
"for the priority shipment of east
ern coal to the northwest before the
close of navigation on the Great
Lakes, feel that it is proper for me
to state in DR.. Garfeld's behalf that
suffering in North Dakota alone would
have been very much greater than it
is in the central and eastern states
had not the priority been made.
"The supply of bituminous coal at
the head of the lakes is not more than
sufficient for the needs of the north
west states and that of anthracite is
inadequate. Notwithstanding ship
ments to the northwest under the pri-
ority order there would be great suf-
fering in North Dakota at the pres
ent time, except for the production of
domestic Ignite in unusual quantity
during the past three months. In addi
ton to relieving railroad congestion,
the priority shipment of coal via the
Great Lakes has saved consumers of
the northwest millions of dollars in
freight charges"

Congress May Melt
Millions Silver Dollars

Washington, Jan. 20.-Congress
will be asked soon to authorize the
melting of 15O,O00,O00 silver dollars
now stored in the treasury, to supply
metal for export to American allies
and to pay trade balances. Stimuli
taneously, one and two dollar silver
certificates now issued on the basis of
the coins in storage, will be withdrawn
from circulation and reserve bank
notes of the same denomination issued
in their place, according to a plan
brought forward by federal officers.
Silver dollars will be melted only as
needed and eventually will be re-mint-
ed from silver to be bought during the
next year.
Legislation now drafted would au-
thorize these measures, and in addi-
ton would empower the treasury
through director of the Mint Baker
to buy all the silver produced in the
United States at price to be deter
mined by agreement with producers.
This price probably will be about 81
an ounce, five cents above the current
market price, and is expected to slim
ulate silver production to 100000, 600
ounces during the next year. About
$4,000, 900 ounces was produced in
the United States in 1917.

SOLDIERS IN u. S. CAMPS :.
DENIED USE OF DIARIES

Camp Dodge, Iowa. Jan. IS. - All
the pretty diaries the soldiers here
received for Christmas presents will
hav to go unused. Keeping diaries
and note books by the American SOL
der is forbidden
The war department has ruled that
the use of these books must be DIS
courased, and SO years from now,
when the soldiers tell their grand
children how they sank their teeth
in the kaiser's ear or boosted him
thru the Hohenzollern roof, they'll
have to rely on ther memories.
The German soldiers have been
keeping diaries, and as a result every
time some TeGton is captured by the
Allies the officers know just what has
happened, why and where. The AM
ericar commanders don't want cap
tured Americans to be such sources
of information.
The German too, is recovering
from his mania for keeping a diary,
evidently thru orders Of the COM
mandcrs Recent captves from TontGn
ranks have been without the note
books

STATE EXAMINER MAKES REC
ORD IN YEARS ECONOMY

Bismarck, Jan. 1S.-The state bank
examiners department, under Major
j. R. Waters of Beach, shows saw
ing for the first year of the new ex
i aminer's administrator of So, 4O0.86.
While the cost of printing, postage
and a number of other items in the
state banking department have in
creased, Major Waters has been con-
stantly on guard for opportunities to
economic, and he has achieved rec
ord rather unique as compared with
some other departments expenditures,
shown in. State Auditor Kositzky's
statement for 1917.
During 1917 the force of examiners
on the road was increased, but con-
siderable saving was effected by re-
districting the state and reducing
heavy mileage costs. At the same time
there has been a heavy increase in
the earnings of the department, which
always has been more than self-sup-
porting. Examinations have been
made promptly, and the work of the
department kept up to date although
during the year there was an increase
in the number of state banks from 656
to 705, adding materially to the work
Of the department. In addition to all
it's other services, the department dur
ing the year collected $4,000 in fees
delinquent from 1916.
Just now State Examiner Waters
chief concern is an appropriation
which will enable him to place in eff
feet the depositors' guaranty fund en-
acted by the Fifteenth assembly. Il
regard this as one Of the best laws
the last session gave u.s." said Mr..
Waters today. "Unfortunately no ap-
preparation was made for funds to
place the law in operation. Up to this
time, the expense of printing, postage
and other incidentals has been paid
from the regular appropriation of this
department. We have carried prelim-
mary work along to point where we
can soon have the act in operation if
the special session gives US reason
able appropriation. It is my opinion
that the great majority of the bank
ers of North Dakota now are heartily
in favCr of this act. Even those who
first strenuously opposed it, seem to
have been won over. Personally, l
would like to see the proposition given
fair trial.

Nears
Food !. Riot

London, Jan. 19.-Demonstrations
demanding better distribution Of food
were held at Brighton, at Firth, in
Kent, and at other places in England
today, while men, women and chill
dren stood in strings in many cases
in vain for a Sunday roast, marga-
rine, butter or tea.
At Firth 5000 workers from one of
the big war factories formed a pro-
cession and marched to the local food
committees Offices to protest against
their wives and children having to
wait long hours outside the shops Of
the grocere and butchers, and then
being obliged to come away empty
handed. The men said that owing to
the scarcity Of food they are unable
to work, and the percentage Of sick
ness has been high.
Meanwhile the butcher shops were
closed and the grocery stores were
virtually sold out this morning and
the men were waiting in the streets
for the committee to take some action.
Food demonstrations and lines in
London were bigger and more num-
erous than ever today. Everywhere
in London crowds gathered at the
butcher shops at an early hour. There
were at least a thousand persons at 9
o'clock waiting to be served in the
retail section of the Smithfeld mar
ket. Most of these got limited por-
tons and were luckier than people in
the suburbs, many of whom were I'M
able to get any meat.
