Refined Kerosene
Flowing From Well

Associated Press Correspondence.
London, July N-Not only coal oil,
but refined kerosene which may be burn
ed in lamps is flowing from the mystcr-
ious oil wells at Ramsey near Peter
borough.
The oil was first discovered nearly
two years ago rising to the top of water
wells in that town. After thousand
gallons or so had been collected the flow
diminished, but two or three gallons were
gathered from the top of the water each
day until lately.
On July 1 two of the wells showed a
largely increased yield which has con-
tinned. As the oil was refined it was
thot at first that it had leaked from some
tankage station, but this has been dis
proved by geologists. and the theory is
accented that by some freak Of nature
the oil is purified in the strata and then
forced to the surface thru the only open
ings available.
The vicinity of the find has not been
drilled by the prospectors who are now
testing what are believed to oe import
ant oil fields in other parts of the KING
dom.

CHILDREN STARVING,
RED CROSS REPORTS
One Third of Pupils in Public
Schools Absent Daily Be-
cause of Hunger.
Associated Press Correspondence.


Prague, Czecho- Slovakia, July 81
One-third Of the school children in
Czecho- -Slovakia are absent from school
every day on account of hunger, accord
ing to Red Cross Investigators report.
Many of the children in the schools were
found so weak from lack of nourishment
that they could not hold their heads
erect Frequently children had to be
carried home because they had not the
strength to walk.
Miss Edith Hoyt, of Washington. ID.
c., and Mrs. Ethel d. Earle, of New
York City, two of the trained social
enteen towns in the Erzgebirge district
reported that in this section 80 per cent
of the children were actually starving.
To relieve this situation, arrangements
have been made for the establishment of
public kitchens thruout the country. The
Americans are supervising their opera
ton and the distribution of food supplies
to them.
"The children were understood and
backward" writes Miss Hoyt, both
physically and mentally. They showed
signs of tuberculosis, rickets and anemIa.
We went thru school-room after school
room asking. How many have had no
breakfast this morning? In class of
4S, 10 little hands went up. This was
typical Of the situation thruout the dis
trict.
'Nettles, a weed. form the principal
item of diet in the poorer homes, and

RACE R|OTSST|R
NORTH OF ENGLAND
Returned Soldiers Clash With
Negroes and Arabs Imported
for War Time Labor.
Press Correspondence.

Associated Press Correspondence.
London, July 27.-Race riots in the
northern part of England and Wales
have created a stir thruout the country,
principally because of the novelty of such
occurrences in these islands.
Normally there are few negroes or
aliens with colored skins to be seen in
Great Britain, but the eXigencles OF war
caused the importation of a large number
Of them to work on seaport docks and
to recruit the ranks of manual laborers
depleted by the call for fighting men.
They were brot from various parts of
the world, South Africa and the West
Indies supplying the bulk of them. Many
Arabs also were imported.
Repatriation Of these colored men has
been slow, with the consequence that
many demobilized British soldiers have
had what to them seemed the bitter ex-
perience of seeing strangers engaged at
profitable employment while they, them
selves, looked in vain for work.
Resentment over this state of af-
fairs quickly developed into hatred when
the soldiers observed that the strangers
were trying to cultivate the acquaintance
of white girls. A number of negroes took
white wives.
A medical officer in the troubled dis
trict describes the situation as very SER
ious both from a health and economic
point of view, and asserts that 100000
demobilzed men are still without en-
ployment while negroes are employed.
us this not gross injustice" he asks.
at is nothing less than iniquitous that
the men who have fought for their
country should find the jobs they need
occupied by negroes"

Paris, July 27.-It is reported the
French may refuse to permit repatria-
tion of German prisoners Of war, if
Germany persists IN refusing to pay
million francs indemnity for the murder
Of Sergeant Mannheimer in Berlin.
Many thousands Cf German prisoners
already have been sent back to the
fatherland, but it is estimated 100000
remain in French hands.
Conveys Of prisoners still are moving
from South France and the ports toward
the Rhine, but it is understood none

lists.
John Murphy, the Irish delegate, has
sent letter to Andre Tardieu, COM
missioner of Franco-American affairs,
urging NJ Tardeau to use his influence
to get France to support Ireland s
claim for a hearing on independence.
Hostile to League.
Mr.. Murphy bases his demand for
French aid on the value to France OF
the United States membership in the
league of nations and the need for keep
ing the Americans interested in Euro
:pean affairs. Twenty million Irish
Americans in the United States now are
hostile to the league of nations, says
Mr.. Murphy, but these people, can be
swung around and made friendly by
proper settlement of the Irish question.
"The stold silence of France and her
failure to suggest or to propose set
tlcment of the question is operating
detrimentally to the old ties of friend
ship and affection that the Irish in
America and Ireland always have shown
to France" writes Mr.. Murphy, adding,
.'other influences are trying to cultivate
This and France sits by unnoticing."

OLD ROMAN COSTUME
GOES INTO DISCARD
Men of Rumania Change Their
Style in Wearing Apparel
First Time Since Caesar.

Bucharest, July 27.-For the first time
since Rumania, as the ancient Roman
province of Dacia, adopted the short
white skirt of the Roman legionaries as
her especial costume, the men of Ru-
mania have changed their style of wear
ing apparel.
The ancient costume since the time of
the Roman has been a short white tunic,
supplemented with thick white wool
bag trousers" and a heavy padded coat
whose lines of rich embroidery exactly
follow the lines of the old Roman body
armor.
The -Bulgar- Turk looters car
ried away as many Of the embroidered
garments as they could find. The cloth
ing brot from France by the American
Red Cross has taken the place of the
stolen goods.
Hospital garments Of all kinds. bath
robes, pajamas, hospital jackets, are be-
ing worn by the men in villages in place
of their historic national costume. A
gray wollen hospital bathrobe may not
be as picturesque as an embroidered
tunic. but judging by the pleased look on
the faces of the peasants as they leave
the American Red Cross distributing sta
ton. the substitute is giving perfect sat
isfaction.

Paris Specializing
on Treaty Changes

/. Paris, July 27-(By the Associated
Press There is much speculation in
conference circles as to what the exact
status Of the German treaty would be
were the United States senate to ratify
it with reservations or amendments.
This discussion has been intensified
by the publication in Paris Of Mr.. Taft 9
statement indicating that he regards a
modification of the treaty as likely and
suggesting changes advisable.
Many of the delegates take the posi-
ton that it would be possible for the
supreme council to approve the modifi-
cations made by the senate. Others be-
lieve that approval of the changes would
be necessary on the part of all the
signatory powers.

Clemenceau for Peace
Conference Delivers VI
timatum and Arraigns
Present Government.
Asserts Head of Country
Has Broken Armistice
and Is Now Attacking
Friendly People.

Paris, July CA strong arraignment
of the present Hungarian government is
contained in the allied statement issued
today in which it was made known to
the Hungarian people they could only
obtain removal of the blockade and
receive food supplies if they ousted Bella
Kun and set up a truly representative
government.
The text of the statement given out
by Premier Clemenceau in the name Of
the peace conference is as follows
THE allied and associated govern
ments are most anxious to arrange a
peace with the Hungarian people and
thus bring to an end condition of
things which makes the economic revival
Of central Europe impossible and defeats
any attempt to secure supplies for its
population.
ed until there is in Hungary's govern
ment which represents its people and
carries out in the letter and the spirit
the engagements into which 1t has en-
tered with the associated governments.
None of these conditions is fulfilled
by the administration Of Bella Kun.
which has not only broken the armistice
to which Hungary was pledged but is
at this moment actually attacking
friendly and allied power.
With this particular aspect of the
question it is for that associated govern
ment to deal on their own responsibility.
If food and supplies are to be made
available, if the blockade is to be re-
moved, if economic reconstruction is to
be attempted. if peace is to be settled,
it can only be done with a government
which represents the Hungarian people
and not with one that rests its author
ity upon terrorism.
"The associated powers think it op-
perfume to add that all foreign occupa
ton of Hungarian territory as defined
by the peace conference. will cease as
soon as the terms of the armistice have,
in the opinion of the allied commander
in-chief. been satisfactorily complied
with"

tlement in view other than some kind
of federal relationship. / suppose that
is because that is the form OF govern
ment best understood and which has
proved perfectly satisfactory in the
United States. Now without consider
ing some kind of relationship with Eng
land, such as the dominion scheme,

ration.
Wants Territorial Force.
"The extraordinary thing is that the
l know they camouflage it by talking
self determination. but that is merely
evading the issue"
! asked Sir Horace what his idea
was of the proper military relations of
the two countries under the dominion
scheme.
Il favor an Irish territorial force
under Irish control in peace time. hut
under control of the central imperial
government in war time"
Dealing with the position of Ulster,
Sir Horace said:
"As long as England interprets her
pledge not TO coerce Ulster to mean CO.
ercing all the rest Of Ireland, Ulster will
be absolutely intractible, but once Eng
land tells Ulster it must have settlement
and that it must include communities in
Ulster which political Ulster wants ex
cluded the attitude of Ulster will be com
pletely changed. They must recognize
that partition cannot be carried against
practically the unanimous wish of the
whole body of Irishmen abroad and the
overwhelmingly majority of Irishmen at
home.
What Carson Said.
Hitherto listers attitude on the
question of Irish government has been
simple and effective Sir Edward Car
son in effect said to England:
"'Be good enough TO tell us what you
propose. and we will ten you we won't
have it. England acceptance of this
position kept Ireland out of the war.
BY this / mean of course, not that in
dividual Irishmen in larger numbers
than known outside did not participate
in the war, but that in so far as there
was any definite international policy in
regard to the participation in the war.
SO long as England, under the pressure
from the northern minority. refuses to
give our small nationality liberties for
which she professed to be fighting the
war was not Ireland's war"
In reply to nv questions about the
attitude of the Catholic church toward
the dominion movement, Sir Horace
said:
''The church quite properly made no
pronouncement on the subject. bnt altho
/ am not Catholic, l think I know the
mind Of the Irish hierarchy sufficiently
| we'll to say they want an early settle
| ment and are quite aware dominion home
rule has a better chance of acceptance
by their flock than any other practical
solution. Their three representatives in
the convention signed the minority report
in favor of dominion self-government."

Or. Michael Wolski. Polish leader,
said:
''The Poles are gaining and are sure
to win the plebiscite because in the
first place the majority of the people
are Polish and wish to return to their
mother country. The workingmen are
tired of paternalism, of mining and
smelling corporations which are much
over developed and rob the workman of
liberty. Under the Polish regime the
hospitals, libraries, gymnasiums, schools,
old peoples homes, sick benefits and
mining companies, will be public institu-
tions modelled after those in the United
States. The people will be happier and
have greater productivity than at pre-
sent
Dislike German Police.
Polish American troops will soon
come in to occupy the province and to
protect the Poles and Germans who
wish to vote for Poland against the
bull doing tactics of German police
soldiers. Their methods already are
very harsh and are not liable to be borne
much longer without an emphatic pro-
test. Fifteen thousand of our people al
ready have fled from persecution across
the border to Poland. and many are hid
ing in the woods. Our constant prayer
is for American troops to come in and
TO bring us the liberty that Poland has
fought for and won, but which is still
denied us."

Low WAR BONDS
TRACED TO RUSE
Millions Involved In Gross
Order" Sales with Fic-
titious Loss.

New York. Jan. 6.-Charging big
''cross-order'' sales of liberty bonds
by income tax dodgers. transactions
in one day exceeding $4,000 OO0
Assistant District Attorney Brogan
in a report TO the county district at
torney urges the need of an inquiry
by the Stock Exchange to ascertain
the names OF wealthy men suspected
OF thus causing the decline in the
price OF the war securities sharply
below par.
1t Is generally conceded says Mr.
Brogan's report, by those who are
familiar with market conditions that
the low prices obtaining for liberty
bonds at the end of the. income tax
year was seized upon by a great
many to sell their bonds, with a
view OF establishing losses to offset
profits which would have to be
shown in making their income /x
reports.
Made on Cross Order.
This reached the highest point
on December 80, when more than
S4O,OOO,OO0 worth of liberty bonds
were traded in. In the last ten days
in the year 1918 the transactions
amounted to $25O.0OO.000 in liberty
bonds alone. My Investigations in
the case show that pobably so per
cent of these transactions were
made on cross orders by heavy in
vestOTs, who gave their brokers a
selling order for anywhere from
$JOO.OOOi to S1,5OO,oOO worth of lib
erty bonds, at the same time putting
in a buying order to buy the same
establishing a fictitious loss to re-
port on their income-t6N returns.
The same method undoubtedly
has been followed by many persons
in the sale of other securities and
other investments, and probably in
their own business enterprises.
IF it is permitted to go unno-
tiCed, the government probably will
lose millions of dollars. which il
expected to get under the new in
come tax law"
VIII Demand Record.
Mr.. Brogan said he proposed to con-
fer with the collectors of internal
revenue in New York in reference to
calling upon the Stock Exchange for a
record of buying and selling orders
exceeding S5O0OOO from all Stock Ex-
change houses
Small investors, he said. at the same
time have been persuaded to exchange
their liberty bonds for worthless
stocks. In one Western State. he said.
100000 worth of liberty bonds of
the first and second issues had been
wheedled from gullible investors, and
it would be a fair estimate to place
the amount thus obtained by swindlers
at S25O,OOO, 900 to $4,000, 600.
Promoters of worthless stocks and
bonds will be subpoenaed to the dis
trict attorneys office this week as n
result of numerous complaints OF loss,
according to Mr.. BrOgan.
