France Seeks Mauritius.

There Is movement In France to
ask Great Britain for the return of
Mauritius, the Beloved Isle of France,
which was lost In 1910. 1t is contend
ed that, in spite Of being under Brit
lsh rule for over hundred years, the
island Is still essentially French, and
that the people desire union with
their mother country.
Great Britain has no particular rea-
son for keeping the island, says the
Newcastle Chronicle. 1t has no stra-
tegic or economic Importance, nor has
1t any sentimental associations. so far
as Great Britain is concerned. For the
French, ON the other hand, 1t Is the
place to which many of their mobiles
amigrated, and is the island which
Bernardin St. Pierre immortalized In
his idyl paul and Virginia"
The islanders gave proof OF their
feeling for France by sending many

WATCH STOPS SHOT
In Mans Hip Pocket, Acts as Armor
Against Rear Fire.

While at work on a lawn at Fort
Augusta, Pa. G. F. Boyer of Sunbury
transferred his big silver watch from
his vest to his hip pocket, and to this
he attributes possible escape from
death.
A few minutes later he wanted to
see what time it was. and found the
timepiece stopped, the hands broken
off and big dent in the back. A high
power rifle bullet was also, in his
pocket, and hole In the cloth told
how 1t went in.
Boyer says he felt no shock and
heard no sound, but as the bullet fits
the dent In his watch there appears
to be no doubt that it was a stray
shot from rifle. The river is in full
view Of where he worked, and a per.
son standing across the stream might
have fired it. The police chief, who is
an old Twenty-eighth division man.
says.it Is not from an army rifle.

California Vineyard Gunner
Asks Permanent Injunction.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2.-Permanent
injunction TO restrain Mrs. Annette A..
Adams, United States Attorney, from
enforcing provisions OF the war time
prohibition act OF November 81, 1918.
and the Sheppard prohibition amend
ment, was sought in the United States
District Court here to-day in a petition
filed by Theodore Bell, an attorney.
The petition. filed by a wine maker
and vineyardist. recites that unless re-
strained by injunction action under these
laws will wipe out the product Of $4,000
acres In California, valued ut SIS. 000.-
600. 1t alleges the war time prohibition
act, effective July 1, 1919, is unconstitu-
tional and ineffective since the President
in an address before Congress stated
that 'the war now comes to an end"
The petition charges that Department
of Agriculture agents and State agents
had encouraged the production of wine
grapes and had established an expert
mental vineyard to encourage vineyard
lists to produce wine grapes. The action
is based upon an agreement by the Vine
yardist made to-day to furnish wine
grapes to the wine maker.
