Soldier Sues for
Loss Of Sweetheart

| Lancaster, Pa, Sept. 4.-Alleging
that another man replaced him in the
affections of his sweetheart while he
was in service overseas, wilbur S.
Hemphill has entered suit against
Miss Esther E. Kendig, of this city,
to recover $4,000 damages for breach
of promise. Hemphill AYERS that the
defendant promised to wed him in
August, 1917, and that he gave her
an engagement ring valued at $3.50
and $500 with which to make .pur-
|chases or house furnishings.
It became necessary to postpone
the wedding when Hemphill was
drafted and sent abroad to serve with
the 304th Engineers. Upon his re-
cent return he started with his in
tended for Atlantic City, the agree
ment being that stop should be
made at Camden, where the marriage
was to occur. At the latter place,
Hemphill affirms, Miss Kendig balk-
ed and divulged the fact that her at
fections had been transferred. The
plaintiff claims to have advanced a
total of $500 to the defendant and
admits having received half Of it
back

Says Clemenceau
Failed France at
Conference Table

Paris, Sept. 4-Debate in the
Chamber Of Deputies on the ratlfi-
cation of the treaty of peace with
Germany was marked by personal at
tacks today when Deputy Franklin
Bouillon declared that he would vote
against the treaty and held Pre-
mier Clemenceau personally respon-
sible for the failure of France to
obtain better guarantees in the
treaty.
~ ut was a grave error said M.
Franklin-Bouillon Ito accept Presi-
dent Wilson's fourteen points I'M
reservedly and without discussion.
The British We're careful to take ex-
ception to the point dealing with
the freedom of the seas, and Great
Britain, America and Japan obtain
ed entire satisfaction of all their
claims.
News of the entente ultimatum to
Rumania reached the Chamber while
M. Franklin-Bouillon was speaking.
1t caused quite stir in the Hobbies,
the socialists appearing pleased by
the development. Mention of the
name of Charles Jonnart formerly
governor general of Algeria, as the
entente envoy to carry the ultima
tum to Bucharest met with favorable
comment, in view of M. Jonnart's
work in Greece in 1917, when King
Constantine was forced to abdicate
M. Jonnart, however, is candidate
for the senate and may be unable to
accept the mission as his campaign
is in full swing.
Paul Mistral, minirity socialist,
during the debate in the Chamber of
Deputies this afternoon on ratifica-
ton of the peace treaty with Ger
man, declared that he and his party
of about 35 members would vote
agaist ratification of the treaty.

THE ARMY'S AUTOS.

A few weeks ago it was reported
that thousands of autos owned by the
United States army were junked in
France.
1t was said then that the French
government would not let the Ameri-
cans sell these cars to the French peo-
pie because the French government
did not wish to flood the market with
autos to the detriment of the French
manufacturers. The Americans did
not wish to ship the cars back to the
United States, it was said, because
they did not wish to flood the Ameri-
can market with autos and thus hurt
the business of our own auto manu-
facturers.
Now comes story that 1000
autos are running in the open at Camp
Holabird, Md. Have the auto manu-
facturers induced the government to
Withhold these cars from the markets,
too?
These automobiles are so much
actual wealth; they represent SO
much of the peoples money and it is
criminal waste to junk them.
The auto industry is important but
it is not SO important that we can
afford to wreck thousands of dollars
worth of materials for which the auto
makers already have been paid big
sum.

TO ASK REDUCTION
OF P. R. T. RENTALS
Business Men Claim That
Amounts Paid Underlying
Concerns Are Excessive

In an effort to bring about reduc-
tlon OF the alleged excessive rentals paid
by the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company TO its underlying companies,
the United Business Mems Association
VIII fle petition today with the Pub
lie Service Commission.
This is renewal of the action Ttarted
by the association shortly before
the declaration of war by the United
states, when n similar petition filed
with the commission was withdrawn
when war was declared.
The new petition is direct result
OF the decision handed down recently
by the Superior Court, according to the
association's counsel. The decision held
that contract between municipality
and corporation fixing fare rates in
definitely is invalid.
This decision, counsel claims. means
that such contracts fixing an indefinite
rate of payment of rentals cannot be
made between corporations in the case
OF corporation taking over the com
bined properties. The petition claims
that the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company is compelled to pay excessive
rentals to underlying companies.
Today the United Business Men s
Association will send committee to
Washington to offer testimony opposing
that which has been offered BY street
railway officials before the Federal
Commission on Street Railways.
