New York Turns to Wood
High Cost of Coal Leads to

DELHI, N. Y, May 1.-The wood
pile is having it's renaissance. The
high cost and scarcity of anthracite
coal and recollection of frozen plumbing
and bitter cold last winter are doing
their work without extra prodding

State. Whether coal is to be cheap or
not, the farmers and villagers are cut

For the last month preceding the
spring ploughing the villagers and
farmers living near wood lots have
been using gasolene portable engines
and buzzsaws with satisfying results.
The power saws tighten the work so per

The job of getting a tree felled and
hauled to the power plant is as labo-
rious as ever, but once there the task

National Guardsman and

Just as he was about to inquire
whether any of them were natives of
Biarritz, his home town. the sergeant
called "Marce! Humbert." The soldier
who answered "Present" was the
brother.
Rene came to New York with his
mother ten years ago, when he was
eight years old Marcel, who was
fifteen, remained in France. The fam
lily knew little of Marcel, except that
he was in the French army in 1914. His

wounded twice and that he had been
awarded the CroiX de Guerre.

Publishers Dispute
PostoMce Figures
They Protest Against Pro-
posed Increased Rates for
Second Class Mail Matter

WASHINGTON, May 1. Postoffice
Department estimates and recommen-
dations in the matter Of proposed in
creased postage for second class mail
matter were presented to the Senate
Committee on Postoffices to-day by
John G. Rooms, Assistant Postmaster
General, who asserted that the present
cost of carrying newspapers and Pc
riodicals by mail is from 5.4 cents a
pound, within a 3OO-mile zone, up to
1872 He conceded that 1856 of the 81
cents represented overhead charges.
Correctness of the figures was chal-
lenged before the committee by SEN
ator McCumber as we'll as representa-
tives of the publishers.
George McAneny, chairman of the
postage rate committee of the Amer
lean Newspaper Publishers Associa-
ton, closed the hearing by asserting
that the departments figures were
questioned, and that the possibility of
getting. accurate figures was small. in
view of which facts he suggested that
increased rates be deferred for at least
a year The war and rising costs of
publications, he said, were additional
reasons for delay.

LONDON, May /. - The Victoria

Allan Gerard and Alan Arnett Mcleod
OF the Royal Air Force, for deeds
which stand out, even among the ex-
ploits in this branch Of the service.
Gerard, when on an offensive patrol
with two other officers, attacked five

in flames. He then attacked an enemy
airdrome, engaging single handed some
nineteen machines, which either were
landing or starting off, and crashed
one Of them against the airdrome.

companions in difficulty, he went tt'

Fresh enemy machines were rising
from the airdrome. and he attacked
them one after another and only re-
treated when ordered to do So Five
machines pursued him, but he turned,
although apparently wounded, and re-

overwhelmed by numbers, he was driven
down.

from all directions, firing from their
front guns. By skilful man9uvres he
enabled his observer to fire bursts at
each machine in turn, shooting three
down.
By this time both Mcleod and his
observer were wounded and their ma
chine was in flames. Mcleod climbed
out onto the plane controlling the ma
chine from the side. and by fitting
the side steeply he kept the flames
confined to one side, thus enabling the
observer to keep on firing until the
ground was reached.
Mcleod dragged the observer from

again wounded by bomb. persevered
until he had placed his companion in
safety, when he fell from exhaustion.

Prussian Franchise
Reform Nullifed
By "Joker" in Bill
Socialist Cites Provision
That Makes Governments
Promises Illusory
Like a Gerrymander
$4,000 Conservatives Get
Same Representation as
10000 Socialists

STOCKHOLM, May 1.-The Prussian
franchise reform measures conceal a
cunningly devised provision which will
render the whole reform illusory, even
if it should be adopted, according to
Heinrich Stroebel, Socialist member
of the Prussian Diet.
In an article in the Independent So
cialst organ, the Leipsic "Volkszei-
tung," Herr Stroebel assails the gov
ernment's bill as an attempt "to snug
gle the plural franchise in through
the rear door, and thus render the
equal franchise utterly worthless"
Herr Stroebel quotes the following
provision from the act of May 80, 1S49.
regarding the formation of the election
districts:
"The election districts shall be
erected on the basis of population as
shown by the latest census"
in the new bill regarding districting,
which reads:
"The erection of the election dis
tricts and the apportionment of dele
gates shall be determined by taking
regard to the number of inhabitants
and the territorial area. as we'll as to
the historic and economic Importance
of the election districts"
Herr Stroebel says eleven of the
largest Prussian cities, excluding Ber-
lin, elect only forty delegates to the
Diet, and will have only ffty-two under
the new measures. whereas, he de-
clares, they are entitled to ninety-two.
Berlin, with 100000 population, he
shows. has twelve delegates, while
West Prussia, with 1,750,000 popula~
tion, has twenty-five delegates; Pome-
rania, with 1,750,0O0 population, has
twenty-six delegates, and East Prussia,
with 100000 people, thirty-six. Each
Free Conservative in the Diet is elect
ed by $4,000 electors and each Con-
servative by $4,000, he shows; but each

Review
Book Vice Society
Called Immoral
Publishers Counsel Says
Freedom of Expression
Is at Stake

The Appellate Division of the Su-
premc Court held ''literary after
noon" yesterday when the justices
reviewed "The Genius" the novel by
Theodore Dresser, publication of which
was stopped by the John Lane Com
S. Sumner, of the Society for the Sup
preston of Vice. Mr.. Sumner notified
the publishers that there was lines
in "The Genius" that were "scand-
alous, libellous and immoral"
Fearing possible prosecution, the
John Lane Company suppressed the
book, whereupon Dresser complained
that he would lose more than $4,000
in royalties. Dresser wanted the roy
alties and the John Lane Company
wanted to publish the book. so they
decided to submit their troubles to
statements of fact and let the court
decide whether the novel should con-
tlnue in circulation.
The Appellate Division took copy
of the novel and reserved decision
after listening to an attack on the
Society for the Suppression of Vice
by Joseph S. Auerbach, counsel for
Mr.. Dresser, who contended that if
the issue of morality was strictly to
be applied, then even the Bible and
some of the writings of Shakespeare
might come under the band.
The Society for the Suppression of
Vice took no part in the proceeding.
Mr.. Auerbach argued that this "gro-
tesque society" was trying to do
further harm and that its action
meant that "the freedom of thought
and expression" was at stake. The
attorney asked for judicial de-
termination of the province of the So
eciety which, he said, was doing an
lncalcuable harm to literature and
which should be restrained.

Saxon Minister Admits
Germany Is Discussing
Alsace-Lorraine Future

AMSTERDAM, May 1.-The signifi-
cant admission that the imperial Ger
man government had been discussing
the future of Alsace-Lorraine was
made recently in the Second Chamber
Of the Saxon Parliament by one Of the
ministers, says a Dresden dispatch to
the "Rotterdamsche Courant." The
minister who made the admission was
Herr Won Leipzig, in reply to a sug-
gestion by Herr Guenther, a Liberal
minister.
Guenther urged that Alsace be in
corporated with Bavaria and that Lor-
raine be divided between Prussia and
Baden, all contingent upon the assent
of the country and Parliament.
Herr Won Leipzig said that while it
was true the imperial government had
discussed the subject stage had not
been reached where definite proposals
could be made to the Federal Council
