Servant Turned on Oil,
Bad Blaze Threatened

What might have been very
serious confagation was narrow
~ averted at the residence of G.
Sherman Tuesday afternoon a.
bout five o'clock, when colored
girl hired by them attempted to
turn out an oil stove, but instead
turned the oil on, and became
frightened at the blaze. Mrs.
Sherman was at a neighbours and
hearing her screams, rushed
home and found the kitchen in
smoke and flames. To shut off
the flow of oil it was necessary
for her to reach into the flames,
which she did and her hands
were badly burned. The wood
work and linoleum around the
stove were badly scorched, but
no further damage was done.

DOWN IN LAYTON, OKLA.

We're down here in Lawton
Where you often get the blues;
Where the bandits ste. the jit-
neys,
And the provosts, hit the booze;
Where the aeroplanes horn the
sky-lines.
Where the cannons daily roar;
Where the town is full of strang-
ers
And the prices fairly soar,
And the soldiers are a-boost
When they pick up girls for pas
time;
Where the chickens never roost
And the bullets fall like hail;
Where each pocket has a pistol,
And each pistols good for jail;
Where they always hang the jury
And they never hang man.
If you call a man a liar
You get home the best you can.
When you get up in the morning
At the sound of reveille
In a field of snow and sleet
And return in the evening
Suffocating with the heat.
Where the Tin Lizzies whiz a.
round you
And the street cars barely creep;
Where the burglars pick your
pockets
AS you lay you down to sleep;
Where the bulldogs all have rab-
les
And the jackrabbits they have
fieas;
Where the big girls love the wee
ones
With their dresses to their knees;
Where you Whiz out in the morn
ing
Just to give your health a chance,
Saying ":Howdy" to some soldier
Who shoots big holes in your
pants;
Where the wise owls are afraid to
boot
And the birds don't dare to sing,
For it's hell down in Lawton
Where they all shoot on the wing.

AMERICAN AVIATION CAMP. SOUTH
ERN ITALY. January 15.-The food
problem recently attained the dignity
Of a crisis here. When the United
States government arranged for the
training Of Americans here, 1t was
agreed that five lire per day should be
paid for the feeding of each aviation
officer in the making. a sum amply
equal to advanced food prices. consid-
ering the several hundreds Of men to
be fed. A contract to feed the men was
let to a local restaurant proprietor. but
he became imbued with the idea that
Americans have plenty of money and
are anxious to spend 1t. For many
weeks the Americans. absorbed in their
training. accepted the food given them.
They merely went down into their own
pockets and patronized the candy stores
of the city. its restaurants. but particu-
larly the canteen where the italian SOL
diers of the camp spent their money
for drinks. sandwiches. and omelets.
Gradually the price of canteen prod
ucts rose so high the Italian soldiers
were unable to patronize it and COM
planned to their officers. These latter

officers, with the result that canteen

This happened just before Christmas
and as the Americans were being paid

they persuaded their commander to let

BRITISH PRICE LIMITS
DURING WARTIME STRICT
Restrictions Placed by Government
Varied, Extending to Build
ing Ships.
,orreapoudence ot ths Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON. January 20.-Regulation of
prices and limitations of profits to be
obtained by producers of necessities
have developed during the war to an
extent probably never before known in
the British empire. Restrictions on
prices and profits have been extended
to many kinds of supplies required by
the people or for government use in
the prosecution of the war.
Among the necessities most vitality
concerned are food, fuel, munitions and
shipping. To what extent these have
passed under government regulation is
shown in a report submitted to the
house Of commons by its committee on
been regulated at the pit mouth, while
the profit that may be made by whole
sale and retail merchants is strictly
prescribed.
Ninety per cent OF the British mer-
chant shipping has been requisitioned
at Varying rates per ton, based on the
market rates current in 1914. Nom
,reQuisitioned ships are running "on
government account" at a narrow mar
gin of profit. In the building Of stand
ard ships the basis of the contract Is
cost plus percentage varying between
10 and 20 per cent
The ministry of munitions has attempted
to flx "the lowest possible prices consistent
with a reasonable return to the contractor
and with due regard to the urgency Of
supply" Roughly. the maximum profit con-
sidered reasonable for a main contractor
vision Of subcontracted work. AS the
demand for munitions exceeds the supply,
competitive bidding for contracts has
stopped. Prices are based upon investi-
cation Of actual costs at contractors
works, checked by the costs charges at
national-owne factories in the same line

AND JOIN ALLIES

Of the Associated Press.
BERN, Switzerland, Janu-
ary 15.-Kemal Midhat Bey,
grandson of the former Turkish
Grand Vizier Midhat Pasha, is
in Switzerland, organizing the
Turkish League of Peace and
Liberty"
Its objects are: ITO persuade
the Turkish government to
make a separate peace, to unite
and reconcile the varioM .na-
tionalities which make up the
Ottoman empire, and to mod
ernize Turkey"
kemaI says: "The capture of
Jerusalem has probably proved
the finishing blow. But the
'stop-the.war' movement in Com
stantinople derives its impetus
from the economic miseries of
the people rather than from any
dismay at the dwindling Of
Turkish power. The number of
Turkish deserters in Asia
Minor is now over z00, 900. The
Turk deserts, not because he is
afraid, but because his eyes have
been opened to the real origin
of the war and the futility Of
continuing it. The aim of our
organization is not merely to
get Turkey away from the Ger
mans, but to get Turkey into
the war on the side of the
entente"
