Mrs. Darling left her beautiful
nome in Winterport, and has en-
gagged in her wonderful gift be-
cause of her loneliness since her
husband passed away.
Mrs. Darling will tell you
everything that is of interest for
you to know
Kind and pleasant is the lady,
Lady Darling-let me tell
The great gift she has from
Nature,
Pleases many people well,
She can tell yourpas and future,
Who's your enemy or friend
And describe your many habits,
Ere she does her story end.
She's astonished all her callers,
Men and women, youths and
bellies;
We can't tell how she tells won
ders,
But we only know she tells.
Mrs. Darling is a wonder,
She will tell all things complete.
Please remember where to find
her
Sixty three on Franklin street,
Positively no telephone COM
municatiOns.

PREMIER POINCARE' REBUFFS
BRITAIN OVER RUHR MIDDLE
ency on Debt-Asks Adherence
to Treaty.

Paris, July 16.-Premier Poincare
in a speech at Senlis rejected the
British proposals on PREPARATIONS even
in advance of the receipt of those pro-
posals in written form.
The British draft of the proposed
reply to Germany is expected here
Thursday or Friday. But the main
outlines of that reply were delineated
in Prime Minister Baldwin's frank
statement in the house of commons,
and Premier Poincare was equally
frank in his speech.
Il always was favorable to an en-
tente with England but I always con-
ceived this friendship as leaving both
people full independence and freedom
Of language" said the premier.
II considered it as designed to con-
ciliate their interests and not subordi-
nate them to one another l consid-
cred that the entente would find it's
staunchest support in constant eff
fort at reciprocal comprehension and
mutual respect
Since the treaty was signed, Ger
many has inspired the chorus every
where to the same song, Belligerent
France, Militarist France, Imperialist
France"

With Rebels.
BIG WAR ON IN NORTH AFRICA
Army of Twenty Infantry BattaIions,
'Twslve Squadrons of Cavalry, Ten
Batteries of Artillery and
Five AirpIane Units Used.

Paris, July 19.-Quietly and almost
unnOticed France embarked on a new
African war on the eve of July IA,
without even distracting the govern
ment's attention from the Ruhr or the
attention of Paris from the summer
shows.
Twenty infantry battalions, twelve
squadrons of cavalry, ten batteries of
artillery and five airplane escadrilles
under the command of Gen. Poeymirau
began an offensive against Mountain
Taxa, Morocco, on July ID. The losses
for the last four days are said to have
reached 1000, but the French capital
is not aware that the war is in prog
reSS.
Too Hot in Paris.
The sitting heat of the last week
end compelled the government to can
Gel the huge military review it had
planned in Paris ION account of the
heat" yet the Moroccan climate is adj
mitted to be pretty warm even by the
war department here.
The Moroccan forces are at Les Sid
Raho and Sid Belkacj, under the di-
rection of Abdel Malek. Malek's power
has been growing three years, threat
ening the existence of the French en-
pire in North Africa.
Hoped to Trap Moors.
The war ministry ordered the war to
be pushed southwark in the summer,
hoping to catch the Noors inactive.
The battle-ground lies north of the
impossible mountain district of Taxa.

RAIL MEN To SEEK
s1O0,OOO,OOO RAISE
Trainmen and Conductors Plan
Negotiations With Roads.
10000 MEN ARE INVOLVED
Demands Contemplate Wages 10 Per
Gent Greater Than Before the July
1, 1921, Cut Was Made,
Is Is Said.

Chicago, July 18.-Wage advance
demands totaling more than $100,00O,-
OOO a year, affecting 10000 railroad
workers employed on every carrier of
the country, effective November 1, are
about to be filed for negotiation with
the individual homogeneous by the
conductors and trainmens brother
hoods.
The applications for this vast pay
increase, which will place the rates of
the worker classifications involved at
level approximately 10 per cent high
er than they stood prior to July l,
1871, when the railroad labor board
handed down decision No. LAT, looping
Off $5O,O00,000 from the salary checks
of these men, are based upon figures
arrived at during conference held in
chicago and at eastern and southern
points within the last ten days by the
heads of these two great unions and
their general chairmen, the direct
spokesman of the 100000 workers in
their memberships.
Other Demands Possible.
Although the remaining two units of
the so-called big Four" railroad labor
rganizations-the locomotive engi-
neers and the firemen and enginemen
refused point blank through Warren
5. Stone and D. B. Robertson, their
national heads, to take part in wage
discussions at this time, it has now
been definitely learned that both these
organizations shortly will arrange eau
cuses and decide upon pay level de-
mands substantially duplicating those
planned by the conductors and train
men.
The two unions, which have now
agreed upon these wage advances pro-
pose to attempt settlement, If pos
sible, by direct negotiations with the
management. If these conferences re-
suit unsatisfactory, the labor board
will find itself confronted with food
of submissions.
"Finish Fight" Expected.
Observers among the union men de-
clare that the big Four" are definite
ly committed to a finish fight for the
advances they seek. Should any deter
rent, it is said, inject itself into the
controversies, the whole question will
come to head. This only can be in
terpreted as a announcement indicat-
ing the possibility of a countrywide
strike call, should the projected in
creases be frowned upon by both the
roads and the board.

FRENCH TROOPS MAKE
NEW ADVANCE IN RUHR
Invaders Occupy Large Cities of Elber-
field, Barmen and Limburg-
Seize Banks.

Dusseldorf, July 14.-French troops
have occupied Elberfeld, Barmen and
Limburg. The first two cities are on
the edgN of the Ruhr region. Limburg
is just beyond the Coblenz bridge
head.
Leaving Hasslinghausen, the troops
proceeded to Mariner, where they oc-
cupied the public buildings and the
railway station. The manager Of the
local reichsbank and a number of po-
lice officials were taken as hostages by
the French, who also seized a fund of
8,O00,000,00G marks.
Although they have separate govern
ments, Elberfeld and Barmen are prac-
tically one town. They are situated Oh
the Wupper, on the southern edge Of
the Ruhr district. For FIVE miles they
stretch along the river.
Each of the towns has a population
of approximately 10000. Industries
form the principal economic basis.
There are paper mills, chemical and
iron works and textile plants.
The seizure of Elberfeld and Bar
men Is attributed by the French to an
act of violence by fifteen of the Ger
man security police. According to this
story, two French soldiers, who were
tracking some German smugglers,
were surrounded by the police, who
seized and disarmed them and took
them to Elberfeld. Finally their weap-
ons, now unloaded, were returned to
them, and they were escorted to the
edge of the occupied area.
