Recklinghausen-Eight Germans are
dead as the result of clashes with
French troops in various parts of
Recklinghausen district asst night.
One French soldier and three Ger
mans were wounded in riot at
Dortmund.
A state of siege has been declared in
the entire Recklinghausen district in
consequence of these disturbances.
Additional troops have been sent to
preserve order at Buer, where a
French army officer and French
civilian were killed Saturday night and
where excitement has been running
high, resulting in renewed shooting.
Of the Germans who met death, two
were shot down while trying to escape
from the gendarmes in the Buer dis
turbances. Five others were killed
and several wounded an hour later
when a crowd attacked French guard
post. The eighth German was killed
at Dortmund when crowd attacked
French detachment.
Disturbances were renewed at Buer
last night when French gendarmes
went to the home of a German sus-
pected of being implicated in the as
sassination of the French officials.
Two Germans who were found were
arrested. They tried to escape and
were shot. This created an uproar in
the town and within an hour the Ger
mans began pouring into the streets
despite the commanding generals or
der prohibiting civilians from being
out after 7:00,p. m.
Attempt to Storm French Post.
A crowd assembled in the town
square and soon afterward several
hundred Germans, mostly men, at
tempted to STORM a French guard,
post where seven or eight soldiers
were stationde.
The Germans demanded the reason
why the two men had been killed. The
soldiers repeatedly ordered them away
but the crowd refused to heed the
warnings, the reports state, becoming
more and more excited and finally. at
lacking the house in which the guard
was CHARTERED. On being attacked the
soldiers fired, killing five of the Ger
mans and wounding several others.
Additional tropos were rodered out
and all the civilians were ordered to
return to their homes, but it was long
after midnight before order was com
pletely restored.
One of the two men killed in the
earlier shooting had boosted to
friends recently, according to French
information, that he was preparing to
kill French officer. When the gen
darmes heard of this, in view of Sat
urday's assassination, they went to
this mans house and began searching
for him. His wife declared he had
not been at home all that day or the
night before, but the gendarmes pur-
sued their search and found him hid
ing in wardrobe with another man, a
neighbor, who also was suspected Of
being implicated in the shootings.

TOmshil Fined for Reckless
Driving and Sobul for
Possession.
GOT 'T' AT 80 N. MAIN
Police Found MOOnshine on
SobuI when Giving Him
First Aid for Bruises.

John Tomshil, 268 Exchange street
was brought before Judge Slater late
Monday afternoon to answer the
charge of possession of moonshine
preferred against him as the result
of an accident en- Sunday. Tomshll
pleaded guilty.
The answer came in the negative
'No? That's what thought" COM
mented the Judge
Got 1t at 80 North Main.
Tomshil explained that it was the
first time he was arrested and said
that he had purchased the moonshlne
of the bartender at the saloon at 80
North Main street, run by Mike
Johnovicz.2
Didn't you know that under the
law you have no right to buy moon
shine?"
81 don't know" said the man with
a slight shrug, "they sell it to me-"
The inference seemed to be that he
thought if they had right to sell the
stuff, he had right to buy it.
Gone hundred dollars and costs or
one month in the county jail" said
the judge.
A Comedy in Arrest.
There was something of comedy
in the manner in which Tomshil was
arrested, as it developed in the story
told in the court room
Tomshil was riding in the side-car
attached to a motorcycle driven by
John Sobul, 532 Grand avenue, Sun
day morning. Sobul went around the
corner of Middle and Chicago streets
at such a clip that he turned over
and spilled Tomshil from the side car.
Tomshil was picked up by the police
officer and taken to the police station
for help. At the same time Sobul was
arrested and booked on the charge of
reckless driving. Sobul furnished
bonds of $25 for appearance in court
on Monday and was released
While the police were administering
first aid to Tomshil for his bruises,
they came upon a bottle of moonshine
in his pockets and booked him on the
charge of unlawful possession. While
Tomshil was still in the lookup Sunday
afternoon, his companion of the motor
cycle. Sobul, was brought in again,
Another set of officers had caught him
racing around on his motorcycle with
another man iii the side car in the
vicinity of Main street, driving like a
drunken man. The charge of driving
while intoxicated was placed against
him.
While Tomshil was fined $100 and
costs for unlawful possession, Sobul
was fined SIS and sosts for driving a
car while intoxicated.

INFANT
WELFARE WORK
Inestimable Good Done by
Infant Welfare Depart
ment of Clinic.
FIND CONDITIONS BAD

With the doctrine of "unto the least
of these" Kenosha, through the excel
lent services of its free clinic, is see
ing that all the babies in the city have
a fair chance, for life and happiness.
Those infants which arc born into fam
lilies too poor to afford them the neces-
sary medical care find sincere friend
in the Infant Welfare Nurse, Mrs. Elsie
Nelson, and her aides at the clinic.
Besides the welcoming of the infant
into the world, there is linitless va
riety of service performed for the
child, from seeing that it has proper
food to treatment for the diseases COM
man to childhood. Those workers at
the clinic who take charge Of theN in
FAINT welfare department contribute a
most valuable factor for the develop
ment of healthful, right-minded citi-
zens of the future.
The report of the Infant Welfare De-
partment for the month of February
shows an almost unbelievable amount
of work done. Through contacts made
by investigations OF, the Kenosha Ser
vice League, it has been possible to
allay great deal of disease in the
past month. The report, which is most

Nerves Too Slow
Loses His Foot
(By United Press)

Madison, Wis.-Because his nervous
system didn't work quick enough, a
factory employee lost foot when a
casting fell on it and injured it. He
was awarded compensation for his foot,
the industrial commission announced
today. He also lost the other leg as an
indirect result, but ne won't get any
compensation for the second amputa-
ton. The decision read:
"The evidence showed that the vas
comotor system Of the employee was
not functioning properly because of his
being inflicted with Reynaud's disease,
which is very rare. The result was
that he sustained infection with the
result that several toes had to be am
putated. Several months after he re-
turned to work, the other leg became
numb and panied him, and it was final
ly necessary to amputate the leg. The
commission held that loss of the sec
ond leg was due entirely, to his
being inflicted with Reynaud's disease,
and not as a result of the accident"

EASTER ISLAND HAS
DROPPED FROM SIGHT
French Merchant Ship Reports That
Famous Old Island Appears to Have
Sunk Into the Pacific.
(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)

tBy Associated Press Leased Wlre.l
Papeete. Tahiti Easter Island in the
Pacific Ocean 1900 miles off the coas.
0f Chile and famous for its ancient,
gigantic statutes, believed to have been
thework of prehistoric people, has
disappeared, according to the captain
Of French merchant ship. Although
persistent rumors are rife here that
the island sunk in the ocean during the
Chilean earthquake few months ago,
no confirmation has been obtained so
far. The most circumstantial of the
rumors received here is that of the
French sea captain who seeking to veri-
fly mis- position, tried to sight Easter
Island, but found nothing but water
where the island should have been. 1t
is pointed out, however, that observa-
tons of French merchant shippers are
rot always accurate There is no COM
munication with Easter Island from
Tahiti. The only way of reaching the
isolated bit of land is by way of Chile,
to which republic it belongs. A Chill
can government ship calls at the island
about once every year.
Easter Islands area is given by
geographers as fifty square miles. 1t
is described as the easternmost polyne-
sian planet Of volcanic origin having a
small population and being chiefly re-
markable for its gigantic statues along
the shore line facing the sea, stone
houses and sculptured rocks. These
are said to be the work of pre-
historic people.

A SEVERE SENTENCE

"A jury in the Corporation Court Yesterday
gave a man three years in the penltentlary
for violation Of the Prohibition Law. 1t was
a severe sentence and came as the result OF
the Second infraction OF the statute.
The sentence was hard, for three years OF
hard work behind stone walls and no pay
DAYS in between is no job to be courted. But
this imposition of hard sentences Will as soon
adjust the prohibition amendment to what
the country really needs as will any other
method, certainly much quicker than will easy
fines and short Jail terms. If the penalty
is great, I man will think twice before he
runs the risk of being caught through vio-
lation OF any law, while on the other hand,
he will jump to it and make profits enough in
9etsSeen- 10 pay oil ii only fines are impos-
I'd. Money is not an object with the law
breaker while time is Us valuable and as
scarce with him as with anyone else
The extreme penalty and strict enforce
ment would soon put an end to all the wrang-
ling and arguing that is now the style when
ever wet" and dry meet. Enforce the
law and the law-breaker will most certainly
turn to safer, ii less profitable occupation.

'NOTHING ELSE BUT"

Next Thursday, Alexandria will be, TO MS,
more than ever, the most important place i'll
the nation. We will celebrate the birthday
of Washington in due and ancient form add
ing here and there the touches OF modernism
needed to make the parade the greatest OF all
time for the city.
Only few months ago, the plans Tor the
parade as they now stand, i'll nearly complet-
ed form. would have been. received. even by
the most optimistic dreamers with amazement
and branded as impossible. Yet the great
parade is now all but forming-a mile and
a half OF it. Dgnitaries from all the nation
will be among the interested spectators and
participants.
All of which goes to prove that Alexall-
drians are qualified Tor more than they think
themselves capable Of They have pep,
but it is hidden; they have enterprise, but ii
is not always visible; they have initiative, but
not lot OF cheek AleXandrians, once
stirred by ambition, can accomplish anything.
But the parade on the Twenty-Second OF
February is something that Alexandria is to
have nothing else but, and it might be
added that like the old negro, accomplish
ment lam the fondest thing they am OF.

DON'T WANT ANY HELP

France is not hankerng after American
and British Intervention i'll her own private
case of collecting money from Germany. She
wants to win; she believes she will and when
it comes she wants the glory alone. That IS
not the only reason, however for her wishing
to keep the United States and Britain out
of the thing: Germany would look upon al
most any kind of allied Intervention as a sign
OF partial victory, at least, it would be en-
couraging.
France has done without, coal from the
Ruhr before but Germany has not and can
not. The French consider that they have the
upper hand in the fight and that time only
stands between them and victorious consunp-
ton of their purpose. France. it is estimated,
is losing 100000 tons Of Ruhr coal an
nually while Germany, wholly dependent up
on this supply, is losing something like 100
100000 tons yearly. While time stands i'll
the way OF victory it will be only matter Of
time, the French thiuk, before they accomp-
lish their object.
But France need have no fear. Tor Amer
lea and Britain have too much sense to try
TO get mixed upin the matter without neces-
sary proyocation.

Hugging Girl In Auto

Borah gets to the point, but he does not

another war is at hand and the matter Is
