FRANKFORT, April 7-(Night)-
French troops and citizens clashed
here this afternoon. A number Of
citizens were killed and wounded.
Great crowds gathered in the
streets after rumor had been cir
cuiated that the United States and
Great Britain had demanded that
France cvacuate Frankfort by six
o'clock.
One of the incidents contributing
to the fatal clash was an alleged
attack upon German reserve officer
by French officers.
The German officer said he entered
the Hotel imperial, the French head
quarters, and was attacked by seven
French officers, who threw him to the
floor and beat him with a whip.
The French officers accused the
German officer OF passing improper
! remarks.
Citizens began taunting the French
| coloniais. One patrol was overpoWer-
Cd and disamed. other French
troops then charged the crowd and
for few minutes there was severe
fighting. The number Of killed and
wounded could not be learned def
nitely.
Tanks, armed with machine guns,
finally cleared the streets and re-
stored order.
Roting had appeared imminent
throughout the day. Speakers haran-
eued crowds at different points IN
the city and patrols were kept busy
Dispensing the gatherings, which were
in violation Of General Degoutte's
proclamation.
Tho French commander had for.
hidden gatherings Of any kind.
AT one point a guard patrol ar
rested number of Germans and
started toward the Jail with Them.
Crowds rushed the patrol, seized
their rifles and threatened serious
trouble, but additional troops arrived
and rescued their comrades, whose
arms were returned.
The situation was admittedly tense
tonight. Heavy patro's marched
through the streets. The military
regulations were enforced risidIy.
The disorders in Frankfort were
attributed by General Degoutte 70
orders from Berlin.
The British consul and the French
governor denied reports that the
United States and Great Britain had
requested withdrawal Of the French
troops.
They attributed the rumors to the
German nationalists. Additional
French troops and airplanes arrived
this afternoon.

several places and there is now talk
of extensive strikes beng called

dred switchmen on all lines entering

Switchmen at ST. Louis, Mo-, and East
ST. Louis, H., are forming a rump
I'm ion and are expected TO strike this

Freight handlers in Cincinnati rail

suit.
Several Illinois cities report SYM
pathetic walkouts with the Chicago

deavor;ng TO form locals at many
points with the Chicago Yardmens'
association, the insurgents union.
All of the strikes are termed as
Illegal by Big Four brotherhood raii-
road officials.
Imported union strike breakers
continued to arrive in Chicago to
fight the rebels. A volunteer dele
cation from Cheyenne, Wyo, was en-
route to Chicago today to join the
side of organized railroad labor.

were on strike. Union men and rail-
road officials say there aren't 5,0o0
switchmen in Chicago and that only
half of these are out.
Police were investigating today the
destruction by fire of sixteen box cars
here yesterday. City officials are pre-
pairing to meet a milk shortage,

GAMBLING EGGS

Complaints have reached the
State Board Of Health that the reg
ulations In regard 70 the Gambling of
eggs from May 18th to January 18th
of each year are not being observed
II was estimated in 1917 that 10,
015,00O cases OF eggs we're lost as
food due to rotting and improper
handling. THIS meant a financial
loss of over $1T0OO,OOO. The. cand-
ling of eggs by buyers and shippers
will force them on the market while
fresh and prevent the shipping Of
rotten eggs and greatly reduce this
loss.
The regulations to insure this
Gambling can be condensed as fol-
lows: - Candle all eggs bought or
sold between the dates OF May 18th
and January f5tH Of each year.
Farmers, country merchants, huck
sters and shippers can easily and
cheaply save eggs and money by sell
ing them while fresh and observing
the rule that requires'an egg cand-
ling certificate in every case of eggs
put on the market. ~
Buyers OF eggs should candle -alL
eggs at time Of purchase. Pay only
for good, edible eggs; returning the
bad ones to the producer. Keep state
ment of purchases showing number
of good and bad eggs in each lot.
Put Gambling certificate in. each egg
case. =
Shippers of eggs should ship as
soon as possible. See that all. eggs
shipped have Gambling certificate in
each case. ""'.
Receivers and brokers should re-
fuse to accept any case OF eggs that
does not contain properly signed
and dated Gambling certificate. !
At present the inspectors of the
Federal and State Food Departments +,
are making inspections of shipments
Of eggs; and violators of the Feder-
al Law in interstate shipments and
Of the Board OF Health rulings in
shipments, will be prose-
2uted.
A copy Of this letter is being sent
o every prosecuting attorney in this
state with the request that prosecu-
ions to be Instituted in every case
If violations of the law.
