ter Company No. 5, are stories which
place at Lindsay's door alleged eff
and cold running water attachment,
and poles for wireless telegraph sys-
TENS and such other fanciful enter
prises.
When the original complaint was
lodged, Lindsay did not lose min
ute to secure his vindication and
called on Sheriff Applestill and the
court for an immediate hearing. His
request was granted. Drs. Peterson
and Luckett were appointed to exam
inc him. They reported back that
the man was sane.

Lisbon, Jan. 27.-The Royalist
movement in the north, which was re-

ing put down by concentration of re-
publican troops.
The movement has been completely
stamped out in Lisbon, where some in
fantry, cavalry and artillery occupied
the two forts of Monstanto Hill and
Duque and hoisted the royalist flag
Wednesday,.
These forces surrendered Saturday
night after a prolonged bombardment
by government troops, aided by ma
rines and battalions of civilian vol
unteers, who enthusiastically offered
their services for the defense of the
republic.
This movement has had an excellent
effect in uniting all republicans to
the cause of putting aside divergen-
cies. The political prisoners taken in
the recent Tantarem rising uncondl-
tionally offered their services to the
government against the royalists.
These men included Major Castro,
who had escaped from prison.

Casualties resulting from the fight

Paris, Jan. 27.-Three Americans
were among the number of technical
advisers on colonial matters who ac-
companied the various delegations
which entered the foreign office to-
day to resume peace discussions.
1t is expected that the Supreme
Council will consider the ultimate fate
of the German colonies today. France
and England have agreed that they
are not rivals for the German colonies.
The American attitude has not yet
been revealed.
A prominent official declared to the
Associated Press that, should the
Franco British viewpoint prevail,
German KamerunAwill- be taken by
the French. Belgium claims that part
of the Congo which she conquered by
arms. -,
The council will also consider ques-
tions of territorial adjustments, abo-
lition of conscription and the eco
nomic reconstruction of Germany.
These will be referred to suitable
commissions.
A high French official is quoted as
saying that the conference will have
the peace terms ready between the
middle and the end of March. If
this is accomplished the German dele
gates will be summoned to Paris early

A burglar who walks like cat and
with a ready presence of mind is the
object Of search by the city police
force following the robbery of the
home of Ray Edgar on Brighton
street last night. While the intruder
pretty well covered the whole house,
it is not believed that he made away
with any articles of value.
During the night Mr.. Edgar was
awakened by a slight noise. 1t was
repeated, but sounded like the fam
lily cat walking about the house. 1t
was found that the burglar had en-
tered by prying the front door, but
his fear of capture was so great that
he had propped open the screen of
the rear door so that he could es-
cape easily and readily.

Paris, Jan. 27.-President Wilson
yesterday made his first trip through
the devastated regions. He visited
Chateau Thierry and Rheims, where
the tour ended. At the ruins of the
Reims cathedral he made the only ex-
preston of his feelings, when he said:
mo man can put into words the
impression which l received amidst
such scenes of desolation and ruin"
The first fighting ground reached
was near Belleau Wood, the scene
of the marines gallant fighting.
Then President Wilson drove to the
hill over which the Americans
smashed the cracked Prussian divis-
ions mustered there to crush the
'greenhorns" and where the advance
on Paris was checked. This is near
Chateau Thierry and the spot prom
lists to be Mecca for Americans for
many years to come.
Entering Chateau Thierry, Pres
ident Wilson was greeted by the may

1t seemed as if the fields had been
sowed by Mars with the wastage of
war in the hope that they might take
root and blossom. A light blanket
OF snow covered the ground. The
president drove up to Rheims cathe-
dral, which, ravished and hacked in
all its misery and desolation, looked
like a graveyard in the moonlight.
More crowds were circling i'm the
air than there were human beings in
the town of Rheims, which had once
been the home of $4,000.
