Young Glen Miller Fox
Says He's First At Table

The kitten foxes, which as soon as
they are old enough are to adorn a
cage in the Glen Miller Park zoo, are
eating and getting fat, according to
park officials.
An average of one quart of bread
and milk day is consumed by the
"furred rascals," and though they are
kept down in the basement where it
is warm, but dark, they are waking up
wonderfully and showing signs of
early ferocity. The male fox is es-
pecially important and refuses to let
the girls eat while he does. AS a re-
suit, he has to be moved over into
another coop" for the purpose of re-
past, which doesn't please him at all.
For some reason he likes to kid the
girls and make them scared to death
of him about meal time, and he shows
all the authority and initiative in
stepping forward when visitors call
upon the family
The monkeys which Superintendent
Hollarn expects to purchase, have not
yet docked in New York, but are ex-
pected within few days, he said to-
day.

Oh, boy! Those 10 percent luxury

Judge Bond Will Name Two
Tax Reuiew Board Members

The county board Of tax review,
which consists of the county treasurer.
the county assessor and the auditor.
with two other men to be appointed by
Circuit Judge William A. Bond. will
commence it's sittings Immediately
after the close of the assessment pc
riod, on the first Monday in June.
Judge Bond said Wednesday morn
ing that he would make no appoint
ments to the board until about the
middle of May. The two men to be
appointed by him must not be of the
same political party, according to the
new tax law.
The number of persons complaining
of the rates of assessment is expected
to be much higher than usual, as the
assessments have been nearly doubled
this year under the new law.
All three county afficials say, how
ever, that they expect to revise as
sessments up as well as down, as in
many cases true market value has not
vet been reached, and that persons
who think they have been rated too
high had better be cautious ABOUT
coming before the board.

HAMBURG STRIKE RENEWED.

BERLIN, April 3O.-A new dispute
is threatened in Hamburg. The har-
Dor workers and all the big factories
are on strike.
Minister of defense Noeke today in
the course of an interview referred to
the necessity Of defending Germany's
eastern frontiers.
Noeke said the statement Of David
Lloyd George, the British prime min
lister, that Germany was hardly in a
position to assemble eighty thousand
men for the maintenance of order un-
fortunately was true. Noeke said he
considered the Bolshevik danger to
Germany had been militarily over
come.
I'VE have done everything" Noeke
concluded, "to maintain order in Ger
many and construct a law-abiding
and ordered state, thus creating the
foundation for peace. but all our
works Of course would be in vain II

POLES MARCH ON MINSK.
PARIS, Tuesday, April 29.-Polish
troops. having driven the Bolsheviki
from Wilma are marching on Minsk,
according to information given the
Temps by M. Tasilewski, formerly
Polish foreign minister. In connec-
ton with the Polish operations in Lii
thunia the former minister said that
the Polish diet had announced that
military activity in Lithunia is only
to protect the inhabitants against in
vasion.
The liberation of White Russia and
Lithunia, NJ Wasilewski added, would
make an end to Bolshevik plans to in
wade Poland through those territories.
NJ Tchitcherin, the Russian Bolshe-
vik foreign minister is unable to COM
municate with Munich, according to a
wireless dispatch from him to Bella
Kun, the Bolshevik foreign minister
of the Hungarian soviet government,
which had been picked up here. Bella
Kun is asked to send message to
Munich, instructing the soviet leaders
there how to organize their govern
ment. M. Tchitcherin made the fol-
lowing inquiries of the Hungarian for
eign minister:
"Have you seized all clothing. sup
plies, factories. banks, paper stocks
and print shops so as to issue news
papers for workmen? Have you estab-
lished a six hour day, taken the Bour-
geoisie as hostages and given them
less food than is given workmen?
Have you forced the Bourgeoisie to
share their homes with workmen and
have you doubled or trebled work
mems wages?"

EFFECT PRoeLEMArIcAL

Premier Orlando's government and
the Italian delegation at the peace
conference received a vote Of conf
dence from the Italian parliament last
night The vote in the chamber Of
deputies was 382 to 40 and in the
senate it was unanimous.
What effect this action will have on
the council of three of the peace con-
ference is problematical. Paris ad-
vices carry the view. however, that
the return of the Italian delegation
is not expected, for the present at
least, and that it is planned to proceed
with the process of making peace with
Germany regardless of any action by
Italy
Meanwhile, the rival claims OF Japan
and China, to the former German
fortress of Kiao Chau are reported to
have been reconciled From a state
ment made in authoritative quarters,
according to a Paris dispatch. IT ap-
pears that plan has been formulated
which it is hoped will prove accept
able both to China and Japan. What
the nature of the proposed solution
is remains undisclosed The question
was under consideration by the coun.
ell of three in long session with thu
japanese delegates yesterday.

is to receive the terms OF the allies

CHANGE FOR COAL EXCHANGE
Britain Has Too Much Anthracite and New York Has a Surplus of
 bitumlnous.

In England the coal controller is trying to induce the people to burn anthracite in place of bituminOus coal. He offers to exchange two tons of large anthracite for every ton of bi- luminous coal that consumers have on hand. n the eastern United States the fuel administration has been try ing to get consumers to use bituminous coal in place of anthracite. Welsh anthracite mines are operating on part time, while English and Welsh bitu- minOus coal mines are working over time, says the New York Commercial.
 This would be fine chance for ex- change of products if shipping were available, and 1t soon will be. New York city needs anthracite and can get a surplus of bituminous coal. Eng land needs the latter and can spare the former. In England most of the people do not know how to burn an- thfacite. New Workers are ignorant of the way to use bituminous coal. The English persist in using open grates for heating rooms, and find 1t hard to make anthracite burn in them. In New York the open grate is found only in the homes of the wealthy. Eng land shivers with plenty of anthracite in sight, while New York is threat ened with a famiIp of domestic sizes of anthracite Each regards the other as pig-headed because neither knows how to use the fuel available. It's an odd world.
