Unrest Among
Russian Prisoners
Alarms Huns

LONDON, April 12.-The German
armistice commission at Spa, a dis
patch from Berlin says, has address
ed a note to the Allies urgently re-
questing the removal to Russia of
Russian prisoners of war still in
Germany. The German standpoint
is that the Russians are increasing
the spread of disturbances in Ger
many.
The note says that there is much
discomfort among the Russian pris-
oners at their continued detention
while Allied prisoners were returned
home. The German government, it
is added, is apprehensive that the
Russians will break from their camps,
thus increasing the bolshcvik danger
in Germany.

Gasoline War
Ends; Price Up

KNOXVILLE, April 12.--The joy
of the automobile owner at the recent
drop in price of gasoline was short
lived, for the "war" between the
Standar Dol company and Gulf Re
fining company has now ended and
the old price greets the auto owner
in the face.
For about ten days local automo-
bile owners were buying their gas
for 1917 cents per gallon, which was
the lowest price at which gasoline
has sold on the local market for
many years.
Gasoline is now selling for "a u
and 25 cents per gallon by the three
local refining companies. This rate
went into effect simultaneously by
the three concerns, following an or.
der from their head Offices.
According to the manager of one
of the smaller refining companies,
whose company did not participate
in the war, but had to reduce its
price to compete with the other com
panies, the "war" originated in Mem.
phis and spread throughout the state.
Following the outbreak Of hostilities,
the price began alling until both the
Standard and Gulf were selling their
'gas" at 121a cents and while the
companies we're fighting the public
reaped the benefit.
Many Knoxvillians, realizing that
the price would not remain at the low
rate, stocked up and are now CON
graduating themselves on the move.

SAY FRANCE is WRECKED
AND GERMANS WILL
REAP ADVANTAGE.
Americans Told They Are Not
On Conquered Soil, but Only
Present Through Armistice,
Sc Army Courts Lack Power
-Insolence and Whining of
Teutons Increase.


ing insolence of the Germans in this
area is matter of concern to those
here who hoped the Germans, defeat
ed in war, would mend their manners
and learn lesson in dealing with fer
eign nations. But it would appear
from local indications that all such
hopes have been in vain.
| have spoken to several Germans
here to learn what they think will be
the future of Germany, says the cor
respondent, and one is amazed to hear
such line of argument as that
France is ruined by the war, and
therefore Germany starts off with
great advantage. They are even
gloating over German destruction in
France, and there are continual ref
erences to the fact that Germany
stands intact by comparison.
Hold Germany Unconquered.
The Germans insist that our pres
sence on the Rhine is no sign of de-
feat; that we are here as the result of
agreement, and this line of argument
leads them to expound curious ideas
as to the rights of German civilians
in the occupied areas. A few days
ago a case came before military
tribunal of Americans in which Ger
man was charged with breaking one
of the American regulations. The So
licitor for the Germans calmly arose
and announced that the American had
no right to submit German civilians
to trial under military law.
"Why," exclaimed the American,
"had not the Germans military tri-
bunals in Belgium and France the
right"
eyes" agreed the German, "that is
true, but then we were dealing with
conquered countries and conquered
territories and you are here only as
an outcome Of the armistice."
Learn Why Hun Is Detested.
One can imagine the amazement of
the Americans.
Such instances of German insolence
are daily brought before the Ameri-
can officers here who have to deal
with Germans. and they are learning
rapidly why the Germans were de-
tested by the rest of Europe before
the war.
Another characteristic of the Ger
mans that of whining, is frequently
shown. The burgomaster of AIR
Weille was arrested for a serious
oense and sentenced to Imprisonment
His friends sent an appeal for his re-
lease on the usual grounds of i'll
health, and this individual, who had
defed the Americans, became the
most contemplate wilmer of all.
His protest of being degraded, of
being i'll and Of suffering mentally
from imprisonment were such, that
the Americans, more in amused con-
tempt than in anything else inflicted
a fine of 5000 marks ($2,O0O) and
RENTED the sentence.
Say U. s. Is Not at War.
The value of a German civilians
life has been computed at $4,000
marks ($20,O0O) by the German au-
thorities. who have made claims for
this sum from the Americans for
each of the widows Of two men who
were killed, presumably during dis
turbances, within the past month.
The attitude the Germans have
adopted is that the United States is
not now at war with Germany and
such claims are proper and legal un-
der the circumstances.

DOG REFUSED TO STAY DEAD
indianapolis Policeman Found He Had
Not Done as Good a Job as
He Thought.

Frank Finney, motor policeman, lost
his reputation as markslnan the 9TH
er day after he and his p rtner, Ben
Lansing, had been called to the Co
burn Storage and Warehouse company,
211 West Georgia street, to end the
suffering of dog that had been run
over by an automobile.
Finney shot the dog, all right, the
bullet apparently putting an end to the
animals suffering. In fact attaches of
the warehouse officially pronounced
the dog dead, and told the two motor
policemen they could return to head
quarters, as further services would not
be needed
A short time after the motor police
men returned, an attache of the ware
house telephoned TO Captain Sanders
and told him the dog apparently had
''come to life again and was trying to
walk. Finney and Lansing were sent
back TO complete the job. The former,
however, refused to take a hand in the
affair, contending that he had killed
it the first time, so Lansing was chosen
as executioner, and the dog was real
ly and finally killed.-Indianapolis
