Foe on Probation.
POLICE BATTLE WITH MoBs
Many Persons Are Hurt In Labor
Demonstration at Paris.

Paris, May 3.--France's Mayday la
Dor demonstration grew into riots in
which citizens, police and soldiers
took part. French blood flowed in the
streets and weapons that so lately had
been used against the foe were turned
against countrymen.
1t is strange indeed that numerous
deaths did not follow the attacks and
c0unter-attacks by the mobs on the
one hand and the police and cavalry
on the other.

NOT TO SINK FOE SHIPS
Decision to Destroy Them Re-
voked by Peace ENJOYS.
Disposition Is Left to Be Decided
Upon Later by Allied and Asso-
ciate Powers.

Paris, May 3.--The naval terms to
be embodied in the peace treaty with
Germany which finally have been COM
pleted, do not provide for the sinking
of the larger German warships. The
disposition of these vessels is left TO
be decided upon later by the Allied
and associated powers.
No formal program was announced
for the coming session of the council
of three but it was unofficially stated
that the meeting was being devoted to
odds and ends and lesser details re-
naming to be put into shape for the
final completion of the treaty.
Italian representatives remaining in
Paris were circulating reports that
their peace delegates will not return
to Paris unless they are specifically
invited by the other Allies.
According to information from au'
thoritative sources, it is doubtful that
such an invitation will be extended
although some quiet" efforts may be
made to induce the Italians to come
back to Paris to participate in sign
Ing the peace treaty with Germany.
Chinese Plan Protest.
Paris, May 3.-The Chinese delega

If Your Battery Could Talk

One thingit would sayis: Don't starveme."
Another: Don't let me die of thirst
A third: "Test me often with ahydrometer."
Those are all simple rules, and easy to re-
member, but to your battery they mean the
difference between long life and short one.
There are other things that ought to be
kept in mind if you look after your own
battery. 1t will pay you to ask us what these
are the next time you come in for a hydrom-
eter test or to have distilled water put into

figure guaranteed by the Goyernmenf
for the 1919 wheat crop prior to the
ending of hosfilities. 10 seems likely
that the Food Administration will
father other legislation and -decrecs
which will protect the farmer against
lowering prices
Following hard upon that announce
ment the California Food Adminisfrsl~
ton made public the fact that the Gov
ernment is going TO purchase virtually
the entire bean crop Of the State for
the army and navy. The Government
has been purchasing about 5000 tons
Of beans a month at a higher price
than beans ever brought before the
war
The average price OF wheat to the
farmer on July ]. 1914. was 7G.9 cents
per bushel. In other words the Gov
ernInent guaranteed to the wheat
raiser for period of two years. an
advance of 19i per cent over. what his
produce brought In normal times
Competent authorities estimate that
should the Government withdraw its
guarantee now that the fighting Is
over, wheat would drop to mt least $1-35
per bnshel. and probably lower.
In the light of all this. the Govern
ment expects the farmer to participate
