REFINED KEROSENE
COMING FROM WELLS
Mysterious Flow at Ramsey, England,
Caused First Thought That Oil Had
Leaked from Some Tank
ing Station.

London, July 2s Correspondence of
the Associated Press Not only coal oil
but refined kerosene which may be
burned in lamps is flowing from the
mysterious oil wells at Ramsey, near
Peterborough.
The oil was first discovered nearly two
years ago rising TO the top of water
wells in that town After a thousand
gallons or so had been collected the flow
diminished but two or three gallons were
gathered from the top Of the water each
day until lately.
On July | two of tine wells showed a
largely increased yield which has con
tinued As the oil was refined it was
thought at first that it had leaked from
some tankage station, but this has been
disproved by geologists, and the theory
is accepted that by some freak of ma
ture the oil is purified in the strata and
then forced to the surface through the
only openings available
The vicinity of the find has not been
drilled by the prospectors who are now
testing what are believed to be impor-
tant oil fields in other parts of the king
dom.

CHICAGO RIOTS
ARE CONTROLLED
After Two Negroes Had
Been Killed and so Peo-
pie Injured
FIGHTING STARTED
OVER SMALL INCIDENT
A Colored Boy Bather Got
Over Imaginary Line at
a Bathing Beach

Chicago, July 2S-The situation in the
BLACK belt" of Chicago, where race riot
ing late yesterday resulted in the death
of two negroes and the injury of so or
more whites and blacks, including four
patrolmen, was under control of the po-
lice early to-day.
Accounts Of the origin of the trouble
differ, but the version accepted by the
police to-day is that the fighting started
at the Goth street bathing beach, where
the whites and colored people are sep
arated by an imaginary line. This YER
sion of the affair says that negro boy
on raft crossed the boundary line and
that white boys threw stones, knocking
the colored lad into the water He was
drowned. A general fight developed be-
tween the races, and riot calls brought
hundreds of police into the colored dis
trict, the center of which is around 3lst
and State streets, more than mile from
the beach. Negroes asked the police to
arrest white boy, and when refused the
negroes began to beat the white boy
Colored bathers from another beach at
25th street, attracted by the fighting,
came in force, and soon stones and clubs
were hurled in all directions, many peo-
pie being injured
After the fighting near the beach had
been quelled, trouble broke out further
west near the center OF the colored dis
trict. John OBrien, policeman. was
h. oh NJ nd 20
streets after he had tried to rescue
fellow policeman from q crowd of ne
groes Several shots were fired toward
him and he was struck in the arm. He
fred into the crowd, three colored men
being hit, one of whom died later in a
hospital.
After the police reserves had dispersed
the crowds along State street and other
parts of the thickly populated colored
district, whites from other parts of the
city dragged several negroes from street
cars and beat them severely but, accord
ing to the police records early to-day,
only two fatalities resulted from the
rioting
The two colored men who were shot at
Goth street, where one was killed, are
said to be seriously though not fatally
wounded
Many stray shots were heard during
the night and police answered two riot
calls to-day, but their services were not
required in either instance.
1t is estimated that there are close to
10000 negroes in Chicago, nearly $4,000
of whom were drawn here during the
last three or four years by the attractive
wages in shops and factories engaged in
manufacturing war materials. Virtually
all Of the negroes live on the south side
of the city and many have acquired prop
erty in desirable neighborhoods occupied
by the whites. This has led to many
minor clashes between the races, and in
number of instances in recent months
bombs have been exploded in buildings
occupied by negroes.

Count Czernin's report had been pub
lished at Weimar, the seat of the Ger

point of the report was the necessity of
opening peace negotiations before our
enemies are aware of our expiring pow

The report warned Emperor Charles of
the deceptiveness of hopes founded on
submarine warfare and emphasized what
Americas entry into the struggle would
mean.

FOR WHAT?

What was the object of all this sacrifice of life and treasure in the world war?
 What do we owe to the men who went over and risked their all?
 What do We owe to the dead on the fields of France?
 What do we owe those who came back maimed for life?
 What do we owe to those who gave generously of wealth and time?
 What do we owe humanity?
 Do we owe them an assured peace for the future, or do we owe them endless pickering?
 Those who sacrificed over there cry out that such sacrifice shal never be forced on humanity again.
 Those who suffered in the trenches would have themselves, their chil dren and their childrens childrer spared from such an ordeal again.
 They know the fierceness of the death dealing instruments devised by man; they know that another world conflagration, carried on with the Knowledge gained in this, would all

---------------- MERCIER'S VISIT.

It has been long time since the United States has had as distinguish ed visitor as Cardinal Mercier of Malines. Mercier is one of the great Belgian trio--the others being King Albert and Burgomaster Max Of Brussels, who in the early days Of the war, won the admiration of the world by their patriotic devotion to Belgium and the Belgians and their courage in the face of a ruthless ln- vader. The greatest of these, prob- ably is Mercier. Until the war broke out he was priest and pastor. With the invasion of Belgium he became a great leader of men, great patriot. Mercier, when the history of these past five years is finally agreed upon, will occupy high place in the yer sions of all chroniclers. His career since 1914 has been such that he has won the admiration of every nation.

HOnduran Rebers
 Within Few Miles
 of Nations Capital

Washington. Sept. 10.-La Ceiba, on the northeast of Honduras, has been captured by the revolutlonists opposing President Bertrand, who has placed the presidential powers in the hands of a cabinet. The rebels are reported within few miles al- so of Teguciagalpa, the Honduran capital and there is sniping in the city.
 The principal ports on the north coast Las Ceiba, Tela and Omoa, and probably Puerto Cortez, have fallen into the hands of the rebels, resist ance having been formal. Ameri- cans at La Ceiba have appealed for protection and the U. s. s. Cleveland has been ordered to that port to see that the Americans have protection of lives and property.
 Bertrand took passage for Amapala September 8, under the protection of an American naval officer and mem sbers of the foreign diplomatic corps.

Turkish Women Now Go Out With Faces
 Free From Masks

Philadelphia, Sept. 10.-Sergeant Mike" Dorizas, foxmer university of Pennsylvania wrestler and football player, as interpreter for the Amerl- can mandate commission, has been making a tour of Turkey and recent letters from him give interesting ac- counts not only of his personal ex- periences but of the vast changes that have taken place in the Otto- man empire since the war.
 'In Constantinople," he writes, lone sees all kinds of soldiers, but the city is dead. The harbor is full of warships of the allied nations; the shops are nearly empty and the few remaining commodities are very cost ly. Food, though, is not more ex- pensive than in France.
 ''The thing that impressed me most in the old capital was seeing Turkish women going about with their faces uncovered and riding in carriages with men and walking with them. Things are changing even in Turkey. 1 suspect the presence of the allied troops and the allied men of war has made the women more courageous" " From Damascus Sergeant Dorizas wrote: "The men of the commission are working very hard and l am sure great good will come from their eff forts. The commission is received everywhere with open arms and all want America to take an interest in their affairs"

hut wine out humanity.

but wipe out humanity.
 We all know that before this war we were told that great armaments worked for peace, and we know now that that was not true; that they meant death to mankind.
 We have learned that peace can be maintained throughout the world only through an intelligent under standing among the nations.
 And the voices of those who have gone and those who remain cry out for such an understanding.
 That understanding, written into the league of nations, is being ac- cepted in Europe.
 Our constitution gives the United States senators the power to accept or reject the understanding accepted bv other nations and before this gov ernment for action.
 Each senator has right to use hls own judgment, to come to hls own conclusion, in the matter, but he has no right to push aside humanltys cry. and to base that judgment, to come to that conclusion, on the lines of party eXpediency.
 There was no partisanshlp Ill the ficht on the French front; there was no partisanship in the buying of Liberty bonds or giving to patriotic funds; there should be no partisan ship in the contest in the Unlted States senate; but, unfortunately there is.-Dearborn 1ndependant, (Ford's Weekly.)

Art Treasures Are Stolen From the
 Castle of Kaiser

Berlin, Aug. 20-( Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-Thefts from the castles of former Emperor William and the Crown Prince Fred erick, not only during the revolution but during the January and March riots of the spartacists and commun- ists, are still engaging the attention of the police.
 Slowly the authorities have been able to trace some of the valuable that were filched by the sailors who occupied the ex-emperor's palace ana that of his son for time but an im- mense amount has been taken from Berlin by underground methods and may never be recovered.
 One of the most important finds can be laid to Hamburg professor. A marine had stolen two Cranach portraits from the imperial castle failed to get rid of them in Berlin and finally sold them to question able dealer in Hamburg. The dealer approached the professor, who rec ognized the canvases, bave check but stopped payment, and notified the finance ministry. The paintings were thereupon confiscated. There are many more not yet re- covered, however, including little male figure in wood dating from 1885, a Watharina von Bora by an unknown artist, also of wood, a "war- rior with ladies" by Palamedes, and a score of other carvings and paint ings, principally by German artists, from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
 From the palace of Wilhelm I there have been stolen figures in bronze and ivory, a pastel of Queen Louise, vases, letters containers, silver trays, Japanese silk portieres and curtains, decorative weapons, medallions, watches and mirrors.
 1 The crown princess residence sui fered similarly. Cigarette cases, of which the crown prince had a wonder full collection, are missing, jewelled collar, writing material, woolen ma terial, clocks, a watch set with dia- monds and sapphires, two automo- piles, five hunting guns and gold revolver.

WEST TO THE FORE.

If the Republican party, using the anti-league sentiment as platform, should happen to ride into office next year, the western states, that is the extreme western states, would play an important part in the conduct of American affairs for the next four years. With the exception of Lodge of Massachusetts and Sherman of Illinois, most of the anti-league fighters in the senate are from the far-western states These are John son of California, Poindexter of Washington and Borah of Idaho.
 !. Seemingly these men are fighting the league more for their national political aspirations than for any genuine sentiment against a league of such covenant Already there is a feeling that the far west is in the saddle for the republican national nomination for president in 1920, and the antics of the far western senate leaders seem to indicate that is true.
 From the Atlantic to the Pacific coast is long jump for national po- litics to make. However all prece- dents, both in politics and business, seem to be vanishing in these days, and the old theory that presidential candidate must come from East of the Mississippi river is no longer tenable.
 Strange to say the people of the states from which these leaders come do not seem to be vigorously oppos- ing the league of nations. In fact, sentiment along the western coast, has been, in the main, favorable to the league.
 The west wants to see it's native sons elevated to office. The west also wants to see peace ratified and a league of nations adopted. What will the west do? Will the western CTS insist upon league and thus kill the ambitions of their leading states men for political honors or will the westerners stand by their senate leaders and let the league go by the boards? It is an interesting situa- ton. President Wilson soon will enter the western states on his speech making tour. He has many friends there and so has the league. So have Johnson, Borah and Poindexter If the president can "put the league over" in overwhelming fashion in the coast states, he not only will insure it's ratification without reservations but he will put an end to the political ambitions of some of the strongest men in the republican party.
