BRITONS USE WIRE NETTING
TO CONQUER EGYPTIAN SAND

soldiers and transport animals was
the sand. No matter how they toiled
in the tropic sun, they could scarcely
advance. The long day would end
with a progress of but two or three
miles. Finally some inventive genius
tried laying rather close meshed
chicken wire, two or three breadths
wide. over the soft sand. and the most
startling sort of change was imme-
diately noted. The leather-soled boots
of the Tommies got a foothold on
something that didn't shift or slide:
so did the hooves of the transport and
artillery animals, and the wheels of
the vehicles. OF course with a heavy
weight imposed the wire sank into
the sand little. just as a snow shoe
does when the bodys burden is placed
thereon, but it never sank very deeply
owing to the fineness of the meshes.
and what small amount Of light sand
was forced above it did not greatly
interfere with the foothold gained.
Soon after adopting this novel
mode of procedure, says Maj. Balm,
the army-train, artillery and all
was making an average march per
day of nine and ten miles.

FOREIGN NIGHT SCHOOL
HAS DRAMA AS TEACHER
Students Study and Produce One
Act Play With Great
Interest.

The drama as means of instruction
in English and citizenship has been
introduced in Washington's foreign
night school at old Central High
School. Students in the foreign school
began the study of The Bishops
Candlesticks," a one-act play adapted
from the works of Victor Hugo, as
a means of improving their pronuncia-
ton of English, but the interest OF
the class developed so strongly that
it was decided to produce the play.
A cast was chosen from the young
men and women of the school and
within a few weeks the play was
produced in the school auditorium.
Actors in the pioneer production
were Romeo Fagiolo, Savior Sadottl,
Misses Theoni BoEies. Maria Vaccaro,
Giovanni Collecchia and Spires Nersis.
The International Orchestra OF the
school played selections before the
performance and also furnished mu-
sic for dancing after the play. Prizes
were also awarded in a patriotic con-
test for the best copy of 'The Amer
leans Creed" and were won by Wer-
ner Jaegi and Emilio Adriani. Re
hearsals for>the play were directed
by Mrs. Margerita S. Gerry OF the
Department of Labor and the enter
tainment was in charge of Miss Re-
becca Stanley, principal of the school.
Assisting her were Miss NJ. 2. Alton,
Miss NJ. L. Benson and Miss J. d. Ma
son of the faculty.

CERMAN-OWNED FIRMS
GOT PLANS OF PLANTS

CHICAGO, May so.-Attorney Cen
eral Palmer, in an address yesterday to
the Chicago Bar Association, discuss
ing his work as alien property GUS
todian, threw much new light on the
work of running to earth enemy in
terests in the United States.
Insisted on Plans.
He recounted how it was discovered
that eighteen German-owned insur-
ance companies and the big Orenstein-
Arthur Koppel company, near Pitts
burgh, manufacturing dump cars,
cranes and inside railroads, insisted
always that plans of the factories of
the firms with which they did bust
ness including United States Steel.
Bethlehem, MidvaIe and Carnegie,
should be furnished SO that the blue
prints might be sent to the home of
flee in Berlin.
Il am not a suspicious person" Mr.
Palmer said. but when 1 discovered
that our great munition plants were
being blown up and that the bombs
were always planted in the most vul-
nerable spot in a mill by somebody
who knew every foot of the plans OF
those mills I began to wonder
whether there was any connection
between those circumstances. 1t is
still one of the unsolved riddles of
the war"

Return of American Property.

enemy territory during the war will

property returned to them under the
new conditions following the signing

better than turning property back to
Germans, for he foresaw that the
Germans would not be welcome as
business men upon American soil
within the next decade at least.

WEDDING ENDS OLD
ROMANCE IN SPITE
OF ALL HANDICAPS
Ex-Service Man From Canadian
Army Marries Sweetheart of
Boyhood Day

A romance starting seven years ago
between mere children eliminated in
the marriage Sunday of Albert JAM
and Miss Anna Wahl, both residing in
the northern part OF the county, neac

and obstacles which were unintention-
ally placed in their path.
Mr.. and Mrs. JAM came to Bismarck,
the early part of last week for their
marriage license at County Judge I. G.
Davies office at the court house. Mr..
JAM overlooked certain statements re-
quired under the law before marriage
licenses are issued such as the state
ment that both parties have never
been divorced. Mr.. Janz had to return
to his home north Of Arena to get the
necessary statement and was several
days returning to Bismarck and his
waiting bride-to-be because of snow
storms and disrupted train schedules.
However, the license was issued last
week and the marriage performed at
the home Of the bride Sunday.
Mr.. JAM, who is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Janz, enlisted in the Cana
dian army, though only 10 years old at
the time, and served two years and a
half, ten months of which were spen!
overseas. Mrs. Janz is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Wahl, and the
couple are generally well liked.

COST OF LIVING
IN ODESSA 800
TIMES IA BASIS

Berwick, Eng, Dec. 6.-The cost Of
living in Odessa is about 800 times
more than before the war, says Miss
Russell, sister of the local food con-
troller, who has just returned from
that Russian city. She lived there for
two and one-half years.
A pair of boots, she says, cost from
1000 to 5000 rubles-a years salary
and dress was only to be had at a
similar ruinous figure. In Odessa the
day before she left the English pound
was equivalent to 800 rubles instead
of less than 10 as in pre-war days.
"The Bolsheviki," she explained,
"are Communists and the principle of
the Communists is everything for
themselves and nothing for the rest.
The others they say have had their
turn, and they treat them with ruth
less cruelty. Life for the educated
people is utterly impossible. Those
who have money are fast eating into
their capital; those who have not
are dying of starvation. That also is
an expensive business, for the cost of
coffins has reached prohibitive fig
ure."
