When the negro broke away Policeman Mr i Cracken fired at him twice but neither bullet took effect. Birch is employed as delivery boy i by Charlie Saleeby and the officer was after him for reckiess driving. When placed unde rarrest the boy had his knife open and before the Ou.cer was aware of what was happening the negro hau slashed him across the hand. As the boy broke away Policeman McCracken pulled his pistol and fired but the negro was making fast headwa and the bullets went wild. The negro rushed into Saleeby's store and went up stairs, the crowd following closely on his heels. At this moment Charlie Saleeby came from the rear of the store and, it is alleged, ordered the officers from the store. By this timeoquite a j crowd had gathered and open resentment was shown toward Saleeby' and several of the employees who I were believed to be protecting the negro. This afterwards Charlie Sa leeby denied, stating that he did not I ivnow wnai me iroume was or what] had happened. Anyway, the store ! door was forced open and l'olicenian ! McCracken entered with his revolver drawn. During the controversy Zeedan Saleeby. Charlie's brother, came! to the front and got between the of-[ fleer and Charlie Saleeby. At this; moment the situation became criti cal and bloodshed was narrowly j averted. The negro was found upstairs and ; placed under arrest. The next morn ing Mayor Thompson fined the negro $100 for resisting and assaulting an officer. Charlie and Zeedan Saleeby and Barbr and Geo. Samaha were arrestd for interfering with an officer in the discharge of his duty and will be given a hearing in the Mayor's court today. 1 1 I Hoc he Fear Cold Steel.

At some points the 0 I enemy was able ?r> penetrate advanc- 0 I ed elements of the British line, especially in the neighborhood of Neu-' ^ jverhapelle, Fauquissart and the Car-1 r donnerie farm. t Meanwhile, all along that part of c ! the old line south of Arras, extreme- c ly heavy artillery duels were in prog-j* ress but the infantry of both sides , kept to their trenches except for iso- ^ lated attacks. ( Near the Coucy forer* and Coucy- ^ Le Chateau the French have made a. slight retirement to positions previously prepared? the manoeuver ap- ' parently being in the nature of line raightening. So well was the operation covered by the French gjns1^ that the Germans suffered extremely heavy casualties. ill Details of the part played by ^ American railway engineers in the opening stages of the battle south' of Arras show that, dropping their tools and taking up arms, they fought side by side with Canadian engineers and inflicted casualties by, R me muusanas on the Germans. j~ Realizing the extremely critical, a situation from the standpoint of m&n!^ power, David Lloyd George, the Brlt-i ish prime minister, has Informed the!^ House of Commons in a speech that it it was impossible longer to exclude ; Ireland from the provisions of con-!n scription between the Russian Bol-jt| sheivk service would be raised toir) fifty years. ^ There is still no indication of the a near approach of the expected big ^ battle on the Italian front, alluough g the artillery engagements at various points are increasing in intensity. ^ Well directed shots from the Italian p guns in the Asiago basin have worked havoc with Austrian ammunition ' depots, and also started fires inside the enemy lines. A Turkish official communication announces the capture by the Turks' of Van, in Turkish Armenia. In Finland the Germans are pre-i paring to take Helsingfora, according ( to dispatches from Petrograd.

A War Department bulletin issuec >n March 26 and signed by Majoi len. Peyton C. March, acting chie >f staff, announces through the com nittee on public information a nec ssary restriction of the shipment ol larcels, to officers and soldiers ir 'ranee. On account of the wel mown shortage in shipping it ii iecessary to limit shipments tc "ranee to things which are abso utely essential for the fighting efIciency of our forces in France. Ir ther words, says the Army and Na y Journal, we must strip for action It has been found that the shipnents of parcels to individual offi ers and soldiers has assumed enornous proportions now averaging VJ pounds tons a week and placing great amount of important freighl 11 commercial liners and transports lecause of this. General Pershing ounl it necessary to earnestly rec mmend a curtailment in shipping f parcels to France Based on his recommendation, a iourd was convened under the di ection of the Secretary of War and he Postmaster General. The board onsisted of Otto Perger, Sec ond Assistant Postmaster General; iajor It. C. Morse, Jr., Kmbarka ion Branch, Q. M. C.; A. J. Passage lational War Work Council, Y. M !. A.; K. C. Pclkey, American Bed 'loss, and Boberl G. Wulf. commit v.v, w.? u> iDiucit. rvm^iii.s oj v. !) lumhus. In accordance with lIn eccmmendution of the board, tin allowing policy was adopted: "In future shipments of any ar iele to members of the Americai xpeditionary forces abroad will b? imited to those articles which have een requested by the individual t< rhom same is to be shipped, sucl equest having been approved by his egimental commander. Parcel posi hipments will be will be accepted by lie postoffice authorities and othei hipments by?express or freight com antes only upon presentation of tlu bove approved request in each in ividual case." It will be seen from these instruc ions, says the announcement, thai : is not the desire of the War Deartment to prohibit shipment by elatives and friends of necessary ar cles to members of our army in Enape, but only to restrict such shiptents to the needs of the individual s expressed in a request made by im and approved by his comma ndr. In this manner the amount of hipment of such article will be uner control of those in authority in ranee, yet will deprive no person of ay needful article. This action has een taken only to meet an urgent ar necessity. Coincident with this the Postottlce epartment calls attention to the ict that if the gifts sent to memers of the American expeditionary irees are regular trade brands o* weet biscuits, candies, canned nods, or tobacco in any form, such lings can be bought in the Y. M. . A. canteens or stores in France at rices that average lower than such ungs can ne nought >n the United tates. In the way of smokes, there are venty two varieties of cigarettes. 0111 I'all Mull to Sweet Caproal. here are seven varieties of jams, esides seven kinds of soft drinks om grape juice to tea. The I'ostoflice Department statelent continues: "The attention of le public is called to the fact that irery pound and every ton of parcel ost which is sent from the United tates, but which can be bought by le soldiers in France forces of the lips ammunition and other needed ar materials. The immense volume lining articles which can be purlased in Europe, principally from pain, Switzerland and Italy, is tiown by . the tact that an invesliation of 6,000 sacks of parcel post isclosed 3,87 4 pounds of candy, 1,32 pounds of chocolsite, 1,327 cakes nd 2,838 packages of chewing um. "During the month of February le volume of parcel post sent to the oops in France occupied 120,000 ubic feet of space on the ships, his would be u slice of cargo space 00 feet long, twenty feet wide and ?n feet high. The demand on tonage of the railroads in France is so real that it frequently requires days efore enough cars can be furnished n nini'P the mail frnm thn t mrt In ho interior of France. The number f soldiers is to be greatly increased nd war material will increase ac ordingly, and to meet thi. eondition irgent suggestion ; are being urul. o reduce the size of the parcel pos! ackuges and to eliminate a largr luantity of parcel post. In view ol bis situation, it becomes the patri tie duty to the people in this coim ry not to send to tiro soldiers it "ranee articles which can be bough roin the army or the numerous rec eation centers that are establishec vherever troops arc encamped."

ICev. II. A. Willis Hears From Itnitbor Who Was On Hoard. Rev 11. A. Willis has received a letter from a brother who was anions the survivors when the Tusrana was torpedoed off the Irish coast several weeks ago. He Bcribes the sinking of the vessel as follows: "We were submarined ut 5:50 p. in. Supper was at six so everybody was getting ready to go up to nie-'is 1 was standing about four feet from my bunk with cap and mackinaw on. \?y bunk was two stories under the lirst deck and when the explosion came, which is indescribable, the crowd just took me off my feet and away from my life belt which was hanging on the foot of mv h?ir?ir nnd carried ine i on up to the ieck on which I was to take my life boat. I We had life boat drills every other day while coining over.) But when I not there I found tho boat lead none and 1 had no life belt. Finally 1 pot a belt and went back to niv place on the deck to find the water below full of drowning men, some jumping over board, one being killed as the life boat smasihed up side down on the water. So I derided the best thing ! could do was to wait till the last minute because we" were expecting to be torpedoed gain though the Tuscanu was' listing heavily. Finallj a torpedo destroyev catne alone and unloaded I quite a hunch hut I for on uiil not get on. and after ii leil the rest of us decided we were drowned, but in about twenety minutes another came along and I rushed on safe and | sound. I I hear that poor Harris got i?. one of the life boats and drifted in on the rocky shores of Scotland, was capsized and killed against the rocks. This of course is just a brief outline of tiie sinking of tie Tuscana The details will have to wait till 1 get back."

The State legtala- U ture may enact laws and her mantel pal officers do likewise for the moral I welfare of her citizens who recognise them as merely a "scrap of yap?." They pay their taxes, go to chsseh when some one preaches, eschew any *] vicious acts that would entail a j twinge of conscious upon themselves. Good people the., are and sajoy their liberty and allow their :atttle and pigs the same freedom to ' walk the streets, nip the dotsee, 10 one to molest or make afraid. Mso witli their game laws, but a lead letter, the teeming thousand* )f fish that live and thrive .n Lmu>er river, a source of revenue to a lumber of the citizens who underhand the art of capturing them In livers ways, contrary to the peace, aws and dignity of iho state, vioi.key rum is in abundance, but u.ly the few who know hov to ap oach the tiger and pat -him m the >ack can get the stuff.

Law ibiding and patriotic to the Bust Mother's daughter of them. On the light of April the first they staged i winning card that pulled out |130 roni the pockets of the overflowing uidience that greeted 18 fiddlers at lit school auditorium. Wise la heir conception of what would in erest the general public when the central i<leu was patriotism. They advertised a fiddler's contention, proceeds to go to the Red ?ross in France. The crowd earn*, so did the fiddlers. Eighteen husky 'ellows with smiles on thehr faces tnd rosin on their bows. With one >r two exceptions they came from .heir farms. Fiddlers that can make rour feet itch to get out on the floor ind hoe it down in grand style when the music starts. None of fltera were violinists?just plain fiddlers, lothing more. This high class German that's :uught the young Miss at graded schools was an unknown prefix in their music vocabulary. These boys, :>ld and young, that kept the great :rowd that heard them upon variations in their expressions of their pleasure from start to finish. Bach one had music in his soul?not n?

But its effect brought back to "ye old time fiddler" the echg from responsive souls that thrilled his own 4 heart with a sense of the appreciation of those who cheered him on to soul inspiring melody When Qermany and her classic muBic shall have passed away, the old fiddler that's born with music in his soul will live on.
