lord Of the Petunia tavern, indicating

more different kinds Of heathenish

He showed 'em how to screech like a

the jump for their lives. The young

the introducer into the neighborhood
of the whirling rattle, which SOUNDS
like raking sticks along forty picket

HUNS INCLINED
. TO ACCEPT ANY
TERMS OF PEACE
German People Seem to Be
Stunned, Say American
Officers; Some Show
Spirit of Bravado.

Coblenz, May l2.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-The impression
gained by american officers through
talking with Germans regarding the
peace terms is that many of them
are bitter and sullen, but are in
clincd to resign themselves to accept
any terms no matter how harsh.
No concrete plan of action has been
suggested in the EVENT. the German
delegates at Versailles refuse to
sign the treaty.
American officers say the COM
mon people in the occupied area
have widely divergent views, bnt
that as whole, they appear more
or less stunned. Many of them
seem crushed, but others are show
ing spirit of bravado.
One American who had circulated
freely among the civilians reported
that none of them expected that
Germany would accept the terms.
They said they could not see how
the people would be able to pay the
indemnities if their commerce was
restricted and all their colonies con-
fiscated, and, in addition Germany
had to cede territory belonging to
the main land.
They asserted furthermore that
the internal resources of Germany
alone were insufficient to permit of
the payment of indemnities for gen.
erations to come.

STATE VALUES
Representatives Of Nebraska
r'jads Contend That Respec-
tive Lines Are Not Max
ing Any Money.

Lincoln, Neb., May l2.-(Special.)
To-day, before the State Board OF
Equalization, representatives Of
some of the railroads advanced ar
guments as to why the taxes on
their particular roads should not be
raised. They contended that rail-
way valuation and the valuation of
other property in the state was not
on equal terms and that the rail-
roads were paying more than their
proportionate share of the taxes.
Colonel Seibert, St. LOUIS. said
that Missouri had adopted a tax
commission as a new way of han
ding the question Of railway and
other property valuations, but that
it was not meeting with satisfaction.
He said the commission had per-
formed a lot of valuable work, but
there was strong sentiment in ia
vor of going back to the forme,
method, and the present session
might take steps to abolish it.
Deficit for Rock Island.
B. NJ. Miller for the Rock Island
said that the gross earnings of that
road for the year ending December
81, 1918, had been $9o,S6o 55665.
These earnings, according to Mr..
Miller, distributed over the entire
7,667.54 miles of the road would
make a small return for each mile.
In 1916 he said the net earnings
were $3.50, 1885; in 1917, $170000.65
while last year there was deficit
of $169,0l0.9l. This would make an
average net earning for the three
years of $l13,37833.
Mr.. Miller CAV the total bonded
indebtedness of the road in Ne
braska as $251,745,330; total stocks,
$l29, 407. 400, and total equipment
notes, $391,942,9o8.60. The market
indebtedness he said was total

STATE LIQUOR
AGENT BUNKER
UNDER ARREST
To Be Called Into Court to
Answer Charge Of Engaging
in Quarrel With W. N.
Jameson.

State Liquor Agent Bunker, ar
rested yesterday afternoon by Con-
stable Roach. was not forced to lie
in Jail all night. Surety bonds for
his appearance Wednesday Before
Justice of the Peace Collins were
secured by Attorney Holland.
Bunker's arrest was brought about
by complaints filed by w. N.
Jameson, following quarrel be-
tween the two in police court May
5, charging Bunker with assault.
Constable Roach arrested Bunker in
Judge Estelle's court. where Bunker
was waiting to testify in a liquor
case. Justice of the Peace Collins
set the hearing for next Wednes-
day.
ITS all a mistake" asserted
Bunker when questioned. 81 never
had a quarrel with Jameson. All
l said to- him in police court was
that he shouldn't be so insulting"
Jameson tells different story.
Bunker was the cause of it ALL"
he asserted. "He was in charge of
Agents Smith and Vogle. | have
several witnesses who will swear
that he instructed Smith to hit me
in the nose. The three men crowd
ed me in threatening manner.
Smith called me foul names. | have
filed complaints against Smith, as
we'll as Bunker. Vogle said less
than the other two, SO ] filed no
charges against him"

Sea Lions Located U-Boats,
Saws Prize PrevaricatOr

down to Portsmouth and practice
was carried out with a real subma-
rine. The first experiments were
carried out with the submarine in
l;arbor with the buzzer. This was
successful. The animal was thrown
overheard some distance off, swan
to the submarine and jumped on
board for his accustomed feed of
fsh-which he got. This was done
several times to accustom him to
the submarine.
Answers Buzzer.
The next development was, while
still in harbor, to do a few revolt
tons with the propeller, sounding
the buzzer at the same time-this
was to accustom the animal to the
propeller. This also was success
full, although the motors had to be
stopped when he was near. A
small, light, cigar-shaped float,
painted red, was tied around the
animals neck by a long piece Of
gut. In this manner the animals
whereabouts was ascertained as he
towed it along with him on top of
the water. A portable cage was
then made on the top of steam
boat and the animals were taken
outside. The same practice was
carried out with the buzzer and
propellers, only at increased dis
tances. The animals were fitted
with small wire muzzles to prevent
them going on a fishing expedition
of their own.
The practice was then carried out
without the buzzer, the submarine
using its motors only. After about
a week of this the animal would
discover the sound and jump on
beard. Great difficulty was expert
erced owing to passing steamers.
which the animal would hear and
chase.
Barked for Food.
The final stage of practice was
with the submarine diving. The
men in the steamboat, as soon as
the float was observed near the peri
scope, would signal the fact to the
captain of the submarine, who was
watching through the periscope.
The submarine would then stop mo-
tors and come to the surface. On
several occasions the animal was on
deck barking" for food even before
the captain could open the coming
tower hatch. This ended the expert
ments.
Unfortunately the Ancient Mariner
paused at this juncture to light his
pipe and went to sleep without ever
telling us how the actual war cruises
of the California nmphibians result
ed. And what happened to the seal
when a depth bomb was dropped on
his discovery? Did he live to chase
the noise made by the bomb?
