PHONE SERVICE BADLY PARALIZED!
LEAGUE CAPITAL

GENEVA, April 15-At a
special meeting of the state
council is was reported that "a
magnificent site on the shore of
Lake Geneva and facing Mont
Blanc had been chosen for the
building which in future will be
the capitol of the league of ma
tions. The people of the city
are rejoicing over the decision
of the commission on the league
of nations, at Paris, flags being
hoisted over buildings and par
AIDES were held. The decision
has greatly enhanced the popu-
larity of President Wilson and
America in the Alpine republic.
The selection of Geneva as
the seat of the league did not
come as a surprise, for it has
been known since the visit of
President Ador to Paris tha;
President Wilson and Premier
Lloyd George favored this city
over Brussels, which had the
support of the French delegates.

IN UNITED STATES
No Agency of Government

Authority to Search
Violators
MAY APPEAL TO DELAY

WASHINGTON, d. G., April 15-
Enforcement of war time prohibition
which becomes effective July 1, is
not lodged with the Internal Revenue
Bureau or with any other government
agency, but merely is left to United
States Attorneys, Daniel C. Roper
Revenue Commissioner, declared
after analysis of all statutes and reg
ulations.
InGimation that because of the ap-
parent difficulty of enforcement, the
President or Congress might be call
ed on to postpone the laws operation
was given by Mr.. Roper in state
ment saying that "The issuing of IL
censes for the manufacture prohib-
tied by the war time prohibition act
will naturally cease with July 1, as
suming of course that neither the
President nor the Congress stays the
operation of the law" .
In this connection it became known
that number of administration Off
cials and advisers of the President
had recently urged him to prevent
prohibition from going into effect
July l proclaiming the completion of
demobolization by that time. This
view is understood to be held by Mr..
Roper, who is represented as believ-
ing prohibition cannot be enforced
adequately without specific legisla-
ton establishing an enforcement
agency.

PLAY BALL BY MOONLIGHT
Marine Drives Ball Through Post or
foe Window in Fifteenth Inning,
Winning the Game.

Washington. = Marines down in
Guam have the bali game and peanut
habit, just like all good Americans
back in the States. Only this time
they've started something new in the
national sport. In recent game be-
tween the Agana and Sumay marines,
running through Is innings, the last
four innings were played by the light of
q full moon rising over the palms
which border the plaza./
In game played by moonlight al
most anything is likely to happen.
Manion of Sumay started things for
his team when he mailed ball in the
post Office through hole in the screen
Of one of the windows. The Agana
fielder was unable to recover it with
out violating section H20 of the local
postal regulations and the Sumay boys
walked home with the bacon.

T2e evidences are plausible. A
wasp, after regaining her spider fol-

with unmistakable viciOusness. When
later some meddlesome ants APP

them angrily and curled her sting
menacingly,
Another species certainly displayed

grew frantic; she became so excited
over her discontinue that she acted
madly, walking, leaping and running
about the ground in frenzy till she
tumbled into a mole's hole.
Still another wasp, examining bro
ken ground in search for her prey
acted calmly till she arrived at a GER
tain pile of loose earth. Her demean-
or instantly changed as she "struck
pay dirt" "She became greatly ex.
cited, nervous and Quivering with

GIVES MONEY TO SOLDIERS
Priest Declares Sons Of Widow Need
1t More Than Does the
Church.

San Francisco.-Stating that the two
soldier sons of the late Mrs. Bridget
Fitzpatrick are more in need of her
estate than is the Catholic church, Rev.
Father ]. A. COlligan. trustee of st.
Ignatius university, has renowned
bequest of $1,000.
1.-THE sons of Mrs. Fitzpatrick have
returned to San Francisco after 1S
months in the army" said Father Col
ligan. ut is the belief of the trus.
tees Of st. Ignatius university that the
boys need this money more than the
church does, and therefore we waive
our claims to the bequest."
Mrs. Fitzpatrick bequeathed her es-
tate equally to st. Ignatius university
and her two sons, Edward and Joseph.
BY Father COlligan's action each of the
young men will receive an additional
$1,000.

me batueh6Id there IA a pile Of brass
shell cases, abandoned by the Ger
mans, that would more than fill the
hod Of large ocean frelghter. It
was estiraated that nearly 100000
shell cases had been piled in that vii
lage. These have been purchased by
the French government.
Salvage W>rk Expensive.
Experts with the American expedi-
tionary forces have estimated that the
Yankees had captured go per cent
more war booty in the Argor&e forest
than their records will show. This
was due, 1t is said, to the rapiditS e
the American advance and to thu
hurry of the Germans to leave their
dugouts and weapons and surrender to
their conquerors.
The work of cleaning up the Ar
gonne battlefield, however, has been an
expensive one, although vast Quanti-
ties of copper, brass and steel have
been salvaged. 1t has cost more than
$2,OOOOOO to complete the task, but
the work has been success financial
ly, as the booty is worth more than
twice that sum.

WILL JUNK WARSHIPS
Twelve Vessels Have OutIived
Usefulness as Fighters.
Historic Oregon Among Craft That
viii Be Relieved From
Active Duty.

Washington. - Twelve pre-dread-
naught battleships will be relieved Of
active duty with the feet, placed out
OF commission and eventually broken
up for junk or used for targets by
more modern vessels, under plans now
being worked out by the navy depart
ment. The ships are Of the mixed
battery" type and are not considered
to be of any value against latest fight
ing craft.
-Four Of the battleshlps, the historlS
squadron comprising the Oregon, In
diana, Iowa and Massachusetts, have
already been relegated TO the scrap
heap. The remaining eight, apparent
ly doomed to the same fate, are the
Kearsarge, Kentucky, Illinois, Alaba.
ma, Wisconsin, Maine, Missouri and
Ohio.
The twelve vessels, built between
1893 and 1901, represent a total ex-
penditure for hulls and machinery
alone of more than $90,O0O,OOO. When
placed out of commission they will re-
lease for other duty approximately TO-
600 enlisted men and nearly 400 off,
GERS.
The ships long ago OHtlived their
usefulness as combatant units In a
fighting fleet, although when they were
built they were among the most for
midable war vessels afioat. All Of them
were used during the war with Ger
many as training ships or coast de-
tense units. Slow OF speed, with small
coal capacity, inferior ordnance equip
ment and insufficient protection
against present-day prOjectiles, the
ships, If kept In commission, would be
more Of a liability than an asset, in
the opinion Of naval experts. They
are armed with old-type II and ID
inch guns In the main batteries and
eight-inch in the secondary defense.
The question Of what to do with so '
many practically useless battleships af-
ter they have been placed out Of COM
mission is before the department az
this time.

Paris.-War booty valued at more

In rtheir fight from the Argonne for
est, the scene of Americas greatest
battle in the world war, has been col
lected by force Of negro soldiers who
have been cleaning up the famous bat
tleteld. Machine guns, rifles, NUM-
tions and war supplies Of all kinds
have been collected in every wooded
ravine, dugout and trench in the Ar
gonne-Meuse sector, comprising $50
square miles.
The American engineers moved up
to the battlefield soon after the armis-
tice was signed. For miles around
there was not village or farm that
was occupied.
Orders We're issued to squads of
American salvage engineers to pick up
every gun they found, broken or in
serviceable condition, as well as all
war material, and place the supplies
along the nearest road for collection
in army trucks. The colored fighters
received instructions that whenever
they came across an unexploded shell
they were not to touch 1t, but to put
up a little stick beside II with a note
so that the munition salvagers could
find 1t later.
The doughboys soon made the dis
covery that the Germans in their
flight abandoned hundreds of machine
guns and even large pieces of artillery
which the Yankees, in their hurry to
advance, had failed to see.
Loaded in Box Cars.
One Of the discoveries made by the
Americans who have completed the
task of cleaning up the battlefield was
the unusually large number of ma
chine guns the Germans had installed
in the Argonne forest No information
was secured as to the number the
enemy was able to save in his fight
toward the Rhine, but thousands of
these weapons were left behind. In
one small sector of the battlefield sew
eral hundred cars were loaded with
machine guns.
