treastare that flag and, standing, salute
its stars."
The " Cfetghton University Cadet

France, Nov. 25. The British yester

Bourlon wood, after having driven
the enemy from the forest late Fri

Saturday an unconfirmed report
from this far' distant point said
the -British had finally obtained
footing in the village and had forced
the enemy to withdraw. This was the
most important news from the Cam'
brai battle front yesterday.
If the British retain their hold on
Bourlon wood and have taken , the
village, they will have acquired a posi
" tion on high ground which overlooks
wide reaches ot the surrounding ter
ritory. The Germans Saturday were
working desperately to construct

Soldiers Have Instructions to
Shoot All Persons Entering
Barred Zone, Around Docks,
Unless Identified.
(Ily AtHorlated Tresa.)
Washington, Nov. 25. Regulations
under which the New York water
fiont will go under military guard
Sunday midnight to bar alien enemies
were announced lastjiight by the De
partment . of Justice, acting under
President Wilson's recent alien en
emy proclamation. Similar regula
tions wijl be iijpplied to other coasts
and to lakeiports as soon as soldiers
are "available.
The soldjers will have instructions
to shoot all persons, aliens or citizens,
entering the barred zone 100 yards
from piers, docks and warehouses, un
less identified by special private
guards to be supplied by pier owners.
Blue uniforms will be worn by the
soldiers to distinguish them from
other military forces and to lessen
the danger of accidental shooting of
persons claiming ignorance of the
guards identity.
The Department of Justice in its
announcement emphasized that Amer
ican citizens as well as Germans must
observe the water front "restrictions
and not attempt to pass the guard
lines without being adequately identi
fied by the private guards and given
permission by the soldier guard.
J he Department of Justice advises
that barred zones be marked by some
sort of a line and signs notifying
alien enemies not to pass the place at
stated intervals.

With industries idle for lack of coal,
industrial plants unable to obtain raw

of the following forms: Guilty of first
degree murder, second degree murder,
manslaughter, not guilty tor the rea
son that he was insane at the time
the act was committed, or not guilty.
,lhe trial of Kev. Kelly lasted from
September 4 to 28, 1917. and ended
in a disagreement, with Jl jurors for
acquittal. His seconc trial started
November ' it. '
In an indictment returned here last
May. Rev. Kelly was charged with
murdering 11-year-old Lena Stillinger,
one of the eight victims slain with an
axe in the Joe B. Moore home, in Vil-
lsca, the night of June 9, mz.
Other victims of the ax murderer
were Moore and his wife, their four
children and Inez Stillinger, aged 9,
sister of Lena.
The prosecution presented a. num
ber of alleged confessions Kelly was
said to have made, acknowledging his
guilt of the crime, but the defense
contended his statements connecting
him with the murder were made when
he was of "unsound mind.
One of the important developments
in the prosecution of Kelly has been
a marked division of sentiment in this
county. It has created a faction
openly opposed to tie state's ator-
ney general s office, with which it has
been in bitter controversy.

SUPREME COUNCIL
Pari3, Nov. 25. Colonel E. M.
House, head of the American mission
to the inter-allied conference, in
speaking yesterday of the conversa
tion he had Friday with Premier
Clemenccau, said it was most satis
factory and comprehensive. Colonel
House added that he hoped to con
tinue h'- conversation with the
French premier at various times.
On being reminded that no an
nouncement had been made here con
cerning American participation on
the supreme war council, Colonel
House said that President Wilson
had (directed him " to represent the
United States government, with Gen
eral Bliss as military adviser, and
that Admiral Benson and other mem
bers of the American mission would
take part in separate consultations
with the corresponding representa
tives of the various governments.
The inter-allied conference w,hich
is" to meet on Thursday, will be com
posed of the envoys of all the na
tions, large and small, that are in
alliance against the central powers.
This conference, which will last
nlv a day or two, will be followed
by the supreme war council in which
only France, Great Britain, Italy and
the United States will be represented.
This latter body was a permanent
one under the present arrangement,
Colonel House said, and it will deal
only with questions relating to mili
tary operations on the western front,
which now includes the Italian front.

Police Work on New Theory in
Milwaukee Explosion; Grue
some Sights Revealed as
Wreckage Is Cleared.
Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 25.
Twenty-four hours of vigorous in
vestigation has failed to disclose in
formation as to the identity of the
person who was responsible for the
explosion of a homb which killed 11
persons in police headquarters here
last nijht.
Twenty-five Italians are under ar
rest, including Guisseppi Mazoinni,
the Italian who carried the bomb
from the basement of the Italian
Evangelkal church to the police sta-
toin, but no action has been taken
by the police as the result of the
questioning which the prisoners un
derwent today.
The fact that the bomb had been
placed in the basement of the church
and timv'd to explode when the
hurch was crowded, and that con
siderable enmity existed between the
Kev. August uuiliance, pastor of the
church, and some unknown persons,
has caused the police to look to that
quarter for a keyvto the mystery.
Captain of Detectives Sullivan, de
clared today that he believed the
bomb was "planted" by persons who
desire to break up the relgious work
which the Rev. Mr. Guiliano is con
ducting among the Italians.
Gruesome Sights m Wreckage.
The casualties which resulted from
the explosion remained at 11 dead
and two injured, no other bodies hav
ing been fou.id wl n the demolished
room in police headquarters was
searched. Many gruesome sights
confronted the searchers and great
crowds of curious persons stood out
side the building anxious to glimpse
the sight
The federal, state and county offi
cials as well as detectives from the
police -department from Chiicago, are
investigating the facts surrounding
tragedy, fnd by some it was intimated
that through the peculiar construc
tion ot the 'somb the makers might
be known to the "authorities.
The trial of 11 men who were said
to be connected with the Bay View
riots several weeks ago, when a re
ligious meeting held by the preist
was broken up, is set for Wednesday.
Rev. Mr. Guiliano has stated his'de-
termination to appear as a prosecut
ing witness and there is some thought
by the police that the bomb may
have been placed by persons who
wished to prevent him and others
of his congregation from testifying
against them. t

(Br Asolattd Press.)
Chicago, Nov. 25. Regulation of
the packing industry, effective No
vember 1, so that the price of meat
to the retailer and consumer may
be both stable and cheaper was an
nnouifted yesterday by Joseph P. Cot
ton, chief of the meat division of the
United States food administration.
In accordance with the announced
policy of the food administration to
abolish speculation and unfair profits,
Mr. Cotton, in his statement to the
packers, declared that profits in the
meat business must in no case exceed
2.5 per cent of the sales. '
Moreover, the annual earnings of
the five big packers cannot exceed
nine per cent ofthe average capital
necessarily used in the business, it
being pointed out in this connection
that these five concerns have diversi
fied business adjuncts that are out
growths of, but not necessarily a part
of, the actual packing of meat.
Detailed rules and regulations are
to be issued to define the general prin
ciples outlined and to prevent diver
sion or concealment of profits and
packers' accounts are to be subject to
inspection at all times. Mr. Cotton
said. He also declared his intention to
protect the small packers, and assert
ed the adjustment of prok prices at
the expense of beef or mutton is not
to be permitted, or vice versa.

I T will pay you to learn about AMERICAN HAMMER
1 ED PISTON RINGS. They mean the difference be
tween exasperating, costly engine trouble and sustained,
economical engine efficiency.
AMERICAN HAMMERED PISTON RINGS are ab
solutely leak-tight, saving 25 to 50 gasoline and 50
to 75 oil (actual tests).
They are concentric, and therefore make impossible
the accumulation of oil or carbon behind them.
They have permanent tension, obtained by" a pat
ented process of hammering.
Their permanent tension permits powerful compres
sion, increasing your motor's power by 10 to 30 (ac
tual tests) .
They make re-boring of cylinders wholly unneces
sary, because they keep the cylinders always round.
AMERICAN HAMMERED PISTON RINGS are high
quality products, adopted as exclusive standard equip
ment by many famous engine builders! among them
Pierce-Arrow, Chalmers, White, Winton, Stearns, Lozter,
Mercer, Kelly-Springfield, Wright-Martin, Stegeman,
Aeromarine, Thomas Morse and many others.
AMERICAN HAMMERED PISTON RINGS are
made in all sizes to fit all motors and are sold by leading
garages and accessory dealers everywhere. And every
ring is guaranteed to satisfy or the full purchase price is
refunded. ,
