He was a new little boy at the or

all the s%crubbing and cleaning he saw
done there, more so because he had
come from a home in which disorder

not understand 1t; more than that
it irritated him, and when he got the
job of scrubbing the dining-room steps
he was almost ready to leave.
But just then came a new excite

coming to make its annual tour Of In

MERELY PIECE OF POOLING

Closely Neat Trick That Is
Credited to Sheridan.

"The Germans, by fooling us with
German bOlshevism, hoped to escape
the payment Of war indemnities," said
a congressman.
ut reminds me of a story about
Sheridan, the spendthrift playwright
"Gunter, the confectioner, left his
statement with Sheridan one morning,
and a few hours later Hanson. the
ironmonger, called.
Hanson was very pressing on the
subject of his account. He harangued
and he harangued. Sheridan, broke,
as usual, paced the floor in despair.
"But suddenly an idea struck the
spendthrift and he said:
"'You know GunterT
"'One of the safest men in Lon.

Chicago. May 1.-THE First Nation
al bank of Bolton, H.. has been robbed
of $64,500 by five men, known to the
police as dude bandits"
The loot consisted of 100000 in
Liberty Bonds, $4,000 in government

Shortly after the robbery an addi-
tional $4,000 in cash reached the bank
to be used in making up a pay roll for
the Chicago & Eastern Illinois rail-
road. A swift automobile, in which
the men entered the town, enabled
them TO escape.
The robbers automobile later was
found in the Englewood district. 1t
proved to be a machine stolen from a
Hyde park garage a week ago.

Paris. May 17.-ln the opinion of
persons in close touch with the gener.
al situation. grave dangers are lurking
beneath the surface of the peace set
Element. This rests in the fact that
everybody is too ready to fight.
Against the theory that the Eur
opean nations are too exhausted to
fight further it is pointed out that
history shows all countries in the past
have been more warlike at the end of
a struggle than after an era of peace.
After the Civil war. for instance. the
United States defied both France and
Great Britain
From Belgium, in fact, from every
where, have come criticisms of the
peace treaty. One of the knottiest
problems of all-disposition OF Fiume

Italians Play New Tactics.
The Italians are playing an entirely
new game. Instead of pushing their
claims they apparently are co-operat-
ing to the utmost in other work. They
have not shown any inclination to
abandon their claims, but they are not
pushing the subject.
Considering the fact the Italian
army is not demobilized and that the
Italians now occupy all the territory
they are claiming. the question arises
as to who would put the Italians out,
providing they would go so far as to
sign the peace treaties and then re-
fuse to e~vacuate the territories they
claim are rightfully theirs. Such a
task eventually probably would fall
to the League Of Nations. it is be-
lieved.
American Influence.
Through American influence It is be-
lieved an arrangement will be made

Athens, May 17.-Occupation of a
q portion of the coast of Asia Minor
by Greece is regarded here as a reali.
zation of Greece's dream of five cen

Permission for the occupation was

following official confirmation that the
Turks were stirring up trouble in Asia
Minor.
An entire division OF Greek troops
was landed at Symrna and occupied
considerable territory on either side,
including Avail. 100 miles to the
northward. and vourla, 40 miles to the
southwark.
The tr~oopships, which sailed from
Cavalla, were escorted by two bat
tleships and four cruisers. One of the
battleships was the Kilkis formerly
the American battleship Idaho, sold to
Greece In 1914.
The landing was attended by con
ceremony as the day was
one of Greece's principal holidays,
known as Roses day. The occupied
territory is populated almost wholly by
Greeks.
