AMERICANS CLEANING up
DESTROY MANY OLD BOMBS

Treves, Germany, Mar. 18.-Zeppe-
lin bombs of uncertain age and manu-
facture have been destroyed by the
hundreds recently by American sol
diers engaged in cleaning up" after
the withdrawal of the enemy. These
bombs, of no practical use owing to
long exposure to the weather, were
found near hangar in the region of
Treves when the American army of
occupation crossed into Rhenish Prus-
STA from the Luxembourg border.
The task of destroying thousands of
tons of old, and in many instances
worthless, German shells began sever
al weeks ago, the explosives being
placed. in great pits and covered with
steel rails and wood and piles of earth
and fired by electricity.
Thousands of anti-aircraft shells al
so have been destroyed on the sum-
nit of ridge of hills skirting the
Moselle in this vicinity and ordnance
experts in charge of the work expect
to finish their work here soon and
then move on to other German ammu-
milton dumps awaiting their attention
along the Rhine and other parts of
the occupied territory.

RESIDENTS OF HAVANA TO
STRIKE FOR LOWER RENTS

Havana.-(C Correspondence of The
Associated Press.-The city is threat
ened with one of the most unique
strikes ever called. Unlike the usual
strike, the movement will not be for
shorter hours or higher wages. Thou
sands of persons in every walk of life
who are occupants of rented houses
and rooms may "strike" against being
literally locked out" of their homes
by property owners who are charging
exorbitant and illegal rents.
Rent in Havana during the last two
years has increased about so per cent,
and in some cases is reported to have
more than doubled, especially in the
poorer quarters.
According to the law a property
owner must file with the city authori-
ties a sworn statement of the cost of
construction of any building owned
or erected by him, from which figures
not only the taxes must be collected,
but the rent which may legally be
charged, are fixed. The property
owners having greatly increased rents,
but without CORRESPONDENCE augment
ing their tax payments, the renting
public is loudly protesting and there
rs being formed an organization which
has for its object the calling of a
strike by renters to force the reduc-
ton of rates to something like normal.
If the strike is really called those
taking part will not actually refuse to
pay rent whatsoever, but will decline
to pay more than the municipal rec
ords call for.

ANOTHER MEXICAN REBEL
GENERAL SURRENDERS

Mexico City, Mar. 1S.-Among the
most notable recent surrenders of
rebel leaders, according to an official
report by General Fortunate May
cote, to, the war department, was that
of the former federal brigadier gen.
eral, Pablo Vargas, in the state of
Guerrero. Vargas revolted about a
year ago when his chief, General Sill
vestre Mariscal, governor of Guerrero,
was imprisoned in Mexico city for dis
obedience of orders.
In addition to General Gerardo Mo-
rones, more than 1900 Zapata adher-
ents have given up their arms and re-
received amnesty at the military posts
in Tlalpam and Xochimilco. This
leaves the mountainous district near
the capital, for years dominated by
rebels, in safe condition.

MANY FRENCH BABES GET
FIRST TASTE OF CHOCOLATE

Paris, Mar. 18.-Children born in
France since the beginning of the war
have just made glorious discovery.
They have tasted chocolates. In a
congested quarter Of Paris, says an
Associated Press correspondent, a line
stretching for more than a hundred
yards wanted chance to enter a gro
Gerry store. Four policemen were keep
ing order among the crowd and wom-
en- were actually struggling for a
place in the line.
"What are they fighting for?" po-
liceman was asked.
"The store is selling quarter of a
pound of chocolate to each one," re-
sponded the officer. "That is the rea-
son why you see so many women bear
ing their children in arms; they are
allowed half a pound then"
The correspondent asked one of the
women who had with her a fine child
and was stubbornly holding her place
on the slippery, slushy sidewalk,
whether she thought it was worth
while to risk pneumonia in order to
get half pound of chocolate.
"You see," she replied, "this baby
has never yet tasted chocolate"

place of the supreme council session
which has been postponed until to-
morrow.
The question to be discussed is one
of securing accord between the great
powers on all phases of the peace
treaty and its early presentation to
the Germans. 1t is expected that an
agreement will be reached as to the
inclusion of the league of nations as
an integral part of the peace treaty.
Special interest attaches to today's
conference, in view of recent reports
of divergence of opinions between the
powers as to the inclusion of the
league plan in the peace treaty.

PITMAN SELLS
ROYAL THEATRE
Clearwater House Passes To
Mr.. Moore of Dunedin

Manager Pitman has sold the Roya
theatre to M. w. Moore, of Dunedin
who takes possession Wednesday of

Mr.. Pitman was obliged to make the
sale on account Of the worry and work
of running two, picture houses Il
miles apart. He said it was lovely on
perfect days, but going home at mid
night in driving rain on a fiat tire
took the pep out of him for a week.
The Royal under his management
has been financial success and also
an amusement house of high order. He
has had to make. apologies for some
of his shows, but the fault was not
his, for there is none of us who have
not ordered something by mail and
been stung.
Mr.. Pitman will devote his energies
to the theatre at Tarpon Springs,
where he also ha saclear field.
Mr.. Moore is from Dunedin and is
well known in this section. He is new

business there will be no change of

POLITICS AND ECONOMICS.

Now is good time to read the
story of government by politics-and
you can take it from any newspaper
of any, party, printed anywhere in
the country. Then take home this SEN
tence contained in recent report to
the Merchants association of New
York on Government Ownership and
Operation of Public Utilities" Here
it is: "The cause of inefficient man
agement and excessive cost when gov
ernments undertake economic activi-
ties is simple. All the activities of
any government are necessarily car
ried on by political machinery and
that machinery is wholly unsu;ted to
the economic field.
"The fields of politics and economics
are dissimilar and separate. The field
of politics (meaning the art of gov
ernment) is mainly the regulation of
conduct and the protection of rights.
The field of economics is the produc-
ton and utilization of material things.
The principles, the methods and the
machinery of political administration
are wholly different from those of
economic activities and not adapted or
adaptable to the latter"

MORGAN'S ART TREASURES
IN LONDON WORTH MILLIONS

Neutrality-suspicious. of The
Associated Press.)-Art treasures in
London, purchased by the late j. Pier
pont Morgan, have been valued, for
| fire insurance purposes, at more than
| $2,000,000, according to testimony Civ
en- by an art dealer in court action
here. Some of the pictures, china and
other treasures are in the Morgan res
idence at Wall Hall, Watford, and
others adorn the residence of the late
banker in Grosvenor Square.
The art dealer, who was suing an
other art expert for a commission for
appraising the pictures, declared that
MIR. Morgan secured such good values
on his pictures that if they were put
on the market today they would bring
higher prices than he paid for them,
not only because of Mr.. Morgan's care
in making his selections, but also "on
account of the halo round Mr.. Nor
gan's name"
Among the pictures described are a
Trcyon,' valued at $4,000, Crome,
placed at 100000, two pictures by
Franz Halls, valued at $125,OOO each,
a Van Hoffema placed at $4,000, a
Greuze, two Constables and Breton.
In the Watford house, the dealer said,
was a picture by Velasquez, valued at
100000, "a magnificent picture by
John Russell, and fine picture by Abb
bolt of Lord Nelson"
The china, the witness said, includ-
ed "a magnificent Sevres dessert serv-
ice" There are also fine embroider-
les. The Grosvenor Square treasures
were appraised, the witness testified,
at s. 100000 and those Of Wall Hall
at $785,0OO.
