General Vadilon Objects to
Composition Which Classes
Countrymen as Profiteers.
By MINOTT SAUNDERS.

Chicago Tribune Foreign News Service
Coblenz. July 10-(By MaiD The
Germans say die Schieber" when they
want to convey the same impression as
the French with Les Nouveaux riches.
The German expression carries the
same odium as the French; they are 1.-THE
profiteers' "Schieber" has come TO
mean as much and to be used as widely
by Yanks on the Rhine as 'Nouveau
Richie" is applied by Americans in
France.
Because it isn't at all nice word
General Vadilon objected in Frankfort
one night recently when it was publicly
used in the same sentence with "the
French" General Vadilon is the French
commander Of the Frankfort occupation
ary force. and he was sitting in box at
the opera house In Frankfort listening
to a variety show. A German comedian
named Resni sang song about profit
thought that 1.-The French are the same
kind of Schiebers as the Germans
The song was supposed to be funny,
but General Nadilon didn't see the joke.
When it was over he called the enter
tainer to his box and told him that he
had insulted the French The comedian
stoutly objected. saying he only wanted
to insult profiteers in general. The next
day the commander sent for him, but he
refused to go on the ground that he was
working for the opera house and had
nothing to do with the French. As re-
suit he was arrested. sentenced to eight
days in jail and the opera house was
closed for two days by French order.
The song has lost its popularity in
Frankfort.

Shanghai, July o4.-Two American
marines. manning Lewis machine guns
routed a band of brigands a short dis
tance east of Chunking in central China
on the 9angtse river, when the American
boat Robert Dollar II was fired on from
the shore and from sampans. The Dollar
did not stop and a definite estimate cf
the casualties is impossible by the per
sons on the Dollar who told me 600
rounds were fired, causing many bandits
to drop killed and wounded. Olaser of
Milwaukee and Withere1l of Cheyenne
were the marines on the Dollar deck
who thus gave the Yangtse pirates their
first taste Of foreign spirit. The Dollar
recently was boarded by brigands near
Ichang and was rescued by the American
gunboat Palos. The Dollar also was
fired on q few days before the latest at
tack.
Dollar Was Prepared.
The Dollar was prepared, therefore,
this time, when it went up the river just
ahead Of the Loong Sang. on which The
Tribune correspondent ascended the fa-
nous rapids and gorges of the upper
Yangtse. Admiral Gleaves had ordered
the Americans patrolling the river to
protect foreign lives and property and
the officers and crew of the war boats
were ready as always in case of danger

Cholera deaths in Chungking now have

Severe Mental Training.

Rome. July 24-The children of the
Italian royal family are rapidly growing
up and begin to form the center of young
people belonging to the aristocratic fam
lies Of the nation, who are full of en-
thusiastic patriotism and desire to put
the world to rights after the sad years
of the war.
The eldest Princess Yolanda is just 19

They have all been brought Up most
wisely, living a healthy open air life in
the castles belonging to the royal family
in their native Piedmont, or In the beau

of the Mediterranean, where. especially
in their childhood, they laid in stores Of

a city of disunions, where, whatever may
come of the future, for the moment Zion

Constantinople. July 24-Moslems
have just been observing Ramadan, a
month of trials to all classes, especially
TO laborlng men. who are supposed to go
without food, drink and tobacco from
sunup to sundown. Turkish restaurants
are watched carefully by Mohammedaa
policemen, who arg instructed TO arrest
customers and owners alike if any of
the followers Of Allah violate the laws Of
the Koran. Consequently Christian res
taurants, and especially those which have
private rooms, become very popular with
Mohammedans during the 2S days which
are supposed to be given over to fasting
and prayer.

Berlin. July 10.-fBy mail From
the American viewpoint there have been
few novelties in the German national

erature put out by the Deutsche Nolks-

automobiles, busses. carriages. carts

roadway and tossed into each vehicle a
tiny pamphlet
On the cover was cut showing four
jockey ridden horses taking a hurdle.
Apparently It was one of the many
Tip" publications. And that semblance
was carried out in the text inside.
"A good Tip-20O to 10" was the
first caption. and then followed some
thing like this:
Judging from the results of former

secret agents at the training points. the

good shape and has good prospects OF

Stresemann is the head of the Nolks-

THE "RUDDIGORE" SURPRISE.
Boston Post.

Over in New York the Society of
American. Singers has revived the
Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera,
"Ruddigore," with rather surprising
results. The work has made a great
hit and is on for a more extended
run than any of the other revivals
Of the. work of the same collabora-
tors has enjoyed for some time. And
the reason for this is quite as u r
prising as any feature of. the case.
"Ruddigore" has succeeded in catch
ing the modern fancy because it. is
less characteristic Of the author of
the libretto than were any Of the IA
vorites of 80 years ago..
After all, this is not difficult to un-
derstand. Most of the Gilbert and
Sullivan operas made. enormous hits
because they were. in general, skits
on the popular fads and ,fancies of
their day. "Ruddigore' failed; com
parattvely speaking, for the reason
that it was more universal in it's an
plication and SO less vital at the mo-
ment; But the very thing that was
q weakness when it was first pro-
duced is its strength now that it is
revived. The critics all agree that
the wit and humor Of the book are
>just as pat today as in any of the
utramodern librettos.

COYOTE FARMS PLANNED

Pierre. s. D.. Feb. 19.-Ranchers
In the northwest section of the state
are seriously considering the estab-
lishment, Of coyote farms in conjunc-
ton with their sheep ranches. ac-
cording to information reaching the
state capitol. The present price Of
fur is the incentive, and the old
timers say that this form of ranch
ing would not be particularly diff
cult. 50
The coyote lives for the most part
on jack rabbits, varying his diet with
prairie chickens, ducks and other
small animals, but the jack rabbit, an
all. season native of this Section is his
chief food. -! G5 ;
Every season. ranchers say there is
open war on jack rabbits, one of the
leading sports being rabbit drives.
There are plenty of coyotes. also, as
sheepmen have come to know
through the raids the prairie wolves
make on their focks. The only draw
back to the establishment of coyote
ranches is said to be the high cost
of woven wire which would be neces-
/; sary to use in enclosing the pas
lures"
