$4,000 Loss by Two
Fires Friday at Caribou

Caribou, Me-, May 1S-Last Friday
Caribou had two serious fires. The
first one was the Brissette school,
house so called situated about six
miles from town. This burned about
three o'clock in the afternoon
caused by sparks from a brush fire
and was a total loss. 1t was valued
at $4,000. There was no insurance
as the tax payers voted a few years
ago not to insure schoolhouses in the
rural section, the rate being so high
The other fire was the garage of
H. ]. Anderson on Washburn street
The alarm for this was rung in at I
o'clock and the department made a
quick run but the building was
mass of flames when they arrived.
About a dozen cars were in the
garage and while some of these
were removed from the building none
escaped being damaged. Two of
them are complete wrecks and the
others will need a lot of repairing
before they will be fit for service
again. E. F. Shaw owned the build
ing and had a small amount of in
surance. The total loss is around
$4,000.

ITALIAN SOLDIERS
FORCING WAY INTO
WOMEN'S JOBS

Rome, May 2. (By Associated
Press)-ItAnan soldiers who were
more or less mutilated during the
war lately have taken the law into
their own hands and have swarmed
in thousands into many of the gov
eminent ministries, taking possession
by force OF the places Of the many
young women who gained q footing
there during the war, and SO far have
refused to be displaced.
Newspapers are being flooded with
letters, some few of them arguing
that the women clerks have earned
the right to work IL they please, and
to support themselves, but most of
the writers telling lurid and terrible
tales of the frivolity of these daugh-
tiers of Eve; Of the little work they
do and the great amount of time they
waste on fiirtations and on their toll
cites; of the alleged subversive effect
they have in well-regulated minis
tries. and Of many families whose
peace is said to have been under
mined by their dangerous proximity
TO staid and respectable men.
AT any rate it appears that soldiers

made good their claim to the coveted
positions and, both in Rome and in
many provincial towns the edict has
gone forth that the girls must go.
Italian housekeepers hope that some

their households, but doubt whether
after the short hours and independ-
ence of office life they will take kind

hours Of shop work.

Kansas Birds Tooth
Found, Estimated at
30,000,O00 Years Old

Lawrence, Kan. May 1s-One of
the two specimens in the world of
birds teeth was found in the chalk
beds of Western Kansas and has
been preserved at the University of
Kansas museum, according to Prof.
III. L. Martin, curator at the museum,
who found the specimen. The other
specimen is at the Yale University
museum. The Kansas fossil is of
the Cretaceous period, about % mil
lion years ago. Ten teeth are in
cluded with the fossil.
This is the second oldest known
type of bird life, according to Pro-
lessor Martin. 1t is the most COM
plete specimen that has been pre-
served. The bird was of the Hes
perornis family. 1t was five feet
long, had short vertebrae tail and
possessed no wings. 1t was a marine
bird and resembled the modern
penguin.
"The earliest specimen of bird that
has been discovered had teeth" says
Professor Martin. This earliest
type lived in the Jurassic period,
some 80 million years ago, and speci-
mems have been found in the litho-
graphic limestone beds of Germany.
This type of bird was about the size
of a crow and had sharp. pointed
teeth and a vertebrae tail longer
than the body. like the Dinosaur."
The specimen preserved at the
University of Kansas is more valu-
able than any other. according to
Professor Martin, because it gives a
clear idea of the semi plumaceous
feathery covering which the bird pos
sessed. No other known specimen
gives this evidence.

China and Germany
Are Far from Their
Old Diplomatic Peace

Berlin, May 1-(By Associated
Press)-China and Germany are ap-
parently no closer to an actual
restoration of diplomatic relations
than they were six months ago in
spite of the fact that unofficial dele
cations are at work in both coun-
tries trying to perfect treaty.
Herr Won Borch heads the German
delegation which is working in
Picking and Dr. Chang is chairman of
the Chinese delegation which is liv-
ing at the Chinese lega ton in Ber-
lin.
Although China passed a resolu-
ton declaring it was at peace with
Germany. following the refusal of
the Chinese to sign the Versailles
Treaty because of the disposition
made of Shantung province, the
Chinese government has not yet
abrogated its legislation forbidding
Germans to carry on busine SIS in
China.
Consequently, German firms are
unable to conduct business with the
Chinese in the name of German citi-
Zens. While the Chinese war legis-
lation is not rigidly enforced, it still
stands on the Chinese statute books,
and German trade is not regarded as
safe until there is some written
agreement between China and Ger
many which will prevent legal COM
plications.
1t now seems unlikely that China
will sign treaty with Germany I'M
til the United States devises some
plan of restoring diplomatic rela-
tions with Germany. China followed
Americas lead in breaking off diplo-
matte relations with Germany and
did not enter the war against the
Central Powers until the United
States had done so.
When China entered the war it
was as an associated power, and not
as an allied power of the Entente
And now it stands with the United
States as nom signatory to the Yer
sailles Treaty and critical of the pro-
visions of that treaty. China is a
member of the League of Nations,
however. having gained admission to
that body by signing the Austrian
Treaty.
Theoretically, China is at peace
with Germany. 1t has so declared it.
self by legal enactment. But all the
legal steps necessary for the restora-
ton of diplomatic relations must be
taken before peaceful relations and
commercial interchances are possible.
