SAVE GOAL BY CLOSING CAFES
 EARLY, PLAN

BERLIN, Sept 25.-(Cmrespond- ence of The Associated Press. )-To conserve Berlin's coal supply move will be made to change the closing hours for cafes and restaurants from 11:30 p. m. to an earlier hour not yet decided upon. The .theaters and restaurants will be restricted in their use of light and Berlin will have to expect a material restriction even before the winter so that coal can be saved.
 The railroad service also will be materially estricted-sleeping cars and dining cars will probably be en. tirely abolished owing to the increas- ing shortage of locomotives.
 Germany is now short of 65O locs motives, while fourteen thousand cars are due to France.
 There seems DO lack of raw mate rials to the railroad foundries but the workmen cannot or will not deliver their peace time quality or quantity of labor. A locomotive in peace time could be built in week by 115 work men. Now 213 workmen are neces sary to build one.
 The emergency workers of Greater Berlin have published an appeal to the miners of. German urging in creased production. since they say ' catastrophe threatens Berlin through lack of coal, which makes it impos sible to produce building materials notably cement.
 Waterways are being Rsed in all possible cases as substitute fol steam transportation.

BELG|AN HERD
 WILL LOCATE
 IN ARIZONA

Of interest to residents of south ern Arizona and especially of the Douglas -Bisbee district is> the follow ing news item sent to the Daily Review by the Associated Press at San Francisco. It concerns young Belgian who is on his way to this part of the country to begin the study of mining, and who is de- clared to have been among the most distinguished of the heroes of that country during the great war:
 When Jose Wagomans, g years old, stopped here recently enroute to Douglas, AriZ.. where he will learn mining from the ground up, he was hailed as one of the men most distinguished for personal val or among all of Belgium's valiant fighting men.
 He was only private when he was mustered out at Antwerp, Aug ust 15, but he held almost enough decorations for bravery to cover his entire chest Among these are the Belgian military medal with six lions and five palms, indicating distin- guished bravery in six great battles and meriting the cross on five sep arate occasions; the Kerensky med al of the Battalion of Death, said to be the rarest military decoration and the Yser Cross; three crosses of St George, the Russian honor corresponding to the British Victor ia cross; the Belgian Commemora- tive War cross, with the volunteer crown and eight bars, and the Bel gian Medal of Victory.
 "Wagemans belongs to an influ- entia Belgian family. but said he knew and liked many Americans and chose to live in the United States.

CASE 1 AGAINST BAUER

The case against J. D. Bauer, local attorney who is noted for his de- fense of certain of the I. w w, in Judge Hogan's court, and who was recently charged with disturbing the peace by Mrs. Ada Harless, was dismissed yesterday by Judge Win ter in Lowell after listening for a couple of hours to the petty Wrang- lings and childish pickering on which the charge was based.
 From the evidence brought forth it appears that Bauer rented lodg- ings from Mrs. Harless that adjoin- ed her own. Lowell officers testi- fled that they had been called to the place several times in the past to adjust relations between the par ties involved which had become quite Venomous.
 The first squabble was over dos which Bauer kept. Mrs. Harless ob- jecting to his Keeping the animal on her premises,S Then the liar less faction renewed the feud by ordering Bauer te prevent children in the neighborHood from playing in the yard.
 The climax was reached when Mrs. Harless returned home from an absence and accused Bauer o making away with some of her fruit jars. To this charge Bauer naive ly remarked in court, "If I wanted to steal anything it would be more valuable than that.
 Mrs. Bauer arrived on the scene about this time and. according to the testimony of Mrs. Harless and her son, struck Mrs. Harless. MT Bauer admitted that while the al tercation between the two women was going on. he shouted. Wipe the earth up with her" The pro secution dwelt at length on this careless slip of the tongue" on the part of Bauer, insinuating that he had urged his wife onto the attack Judge Winters decided that the Mranglings of the two families had no place in court and dismissed the ! case.

 L.

MT. Behymer is in the district to complete the arrangements for the winter series of concerts sponsored by the Musical Events club. the first of which is to be held on November 24.
 The city beautiful, like the homo beautiful, must, have its refining in- fluences," he went on to say" IL must have it's books, its paintings and its music. The city of commel- cialism is not city of homes and commercialism alone falls.
 You say that music Is not busi- ness. Go to the court house and learn how large a, sum of money is paid annually for taxes on pianos, organs and victrolas. Maybe you will say there are a lot of fools paying out money for something which is not business. But stop, measure the in- fluence of it.

 'If it wasn't for the women of America there would be no America. The women are taking care of the children and preserving the home. You are earning the money, to be sure, but without the women life would not be worth living. Take her away and there would be no music, no refining influence.
