RHODE ISLAND GETS FOUR PER CENT BEER.

Providence, R. 1., July 11.—-Two and three-quarters per cent beer intoxicating? Certainly not, says Rhode Island. The police commissioners of Providence announced today they would issue licenses on the theory that Ibeer of 4 per cent alcohol in ' strength is not intoxicating.

Several months ago the Rhode Island state legislature passed a law defining 4 per cent beer as nonintoxicating.

ED ROBINSON WRITES FROM OLD “LUNNON."

Mr. and Mrs. Warren Robinson have received a letter from their son, Edwin, who recently visitec London while on a furlough from his company which is with the army of occupation overseas, which follows: Hdqtrs. Detachment, Bordeaux Embarkation Camp, June 15. Dear Folks—Got your two letters today upon my return- from London. We had our tickets bought to Edinburgh, Scotland, and were going from there to Belfast, Ireland, but at the last minute decided we’d rather stay in London, so we stayed. Had a very good trip, but a very rough trip back across the channel. The lieutenant got very sick, as did almost everyone on board. Had good luck myself, but was ready to get off when we landed. Several of the fellows almost got washed off the deck by a couple of big waves, and about everyone on deck got a good soaking. Spent a day and night in Paris, going over, and one coming back.

Saw London pretty thoroughly. Went out to Stratford-on-Avon anc inspected Shakespeare’s old house and Ann Hathaway’s old home, John Burns, one of the oldest members of parliament in England, took us through both houses of parliament. Had some very Interesting trips. In Paris, on the way over, we ran into a strike of the city railway employes, and had to do all our traveling in taxis. Mrs. Senator J. Ham Lewis, of Chicago, came along and gave us a lift once. In Paris yesterday stepped out of a taxi and ran right into “Dicky” Benjamin. He’s coming through here on his way home in a few days. They want to make me a field clerk now, which would pay about twice as much as I’m getting, but I would /have to pay my own board and buy my clothes. I don’t think I care to make the change now, as it wouldn’t be worth while. . Don’t know when I will be home. They are making preparations to close the base now, and it is supposed to be closed by the tenth of next month, but don’t know whether it will be or not. Better not expect me until you see me coming. If Germany doesn’t sign the treaty, I’m going to try to get sent up there right away. While I was in London I was sort of looking around to see what chance there would be to get sent to India with some London firm, but guess there’s not much chance of that now, at least. Have about all of France I want now, though, so if I can’t go some place else, I’d like to get started home as soon as possible. Well, guess I’ll close and go to bed. Was on the train all night last night and didn’t get much sleep, as we couldn’t get a Pullman. Write when you get a chance, and let me know what’s going on. Tour’s, EDWIN.

TIRE OF THIEVES; MT. AYR FARMERS ORGANIZE.

Mt. Ayr * Last Sunday evening twenty-seven men banded together to” stand together for the apprehension of thieves. If anything is stolen, telephone in the news, giving all the details possible. The men who banded together are doing this as a protective measure until a better organization is perfected. Let all interested meet at the tent for a short service and then we will go to the school auditorium to organize and complete plans. Whereas, it is quite apparent that a band of thieves is systematically stealing chickens, corn and such like from the people of Mt. Ayr and surrounding community, and, whereals such depredations carried on unrebuked only tend to encourage such criminality; whereas, such criminality not only causes a loss financially, but is the cause of much mental anxiety and also brings into disrepute our community and if continued will make it an unfit place to live in, /thereby affecting the price of land, etc. Therefore, ibe it resolved that an association be organized of all interested parties (male or female) who will band together for the purposes of exterminating the nest of robbers and driving them from our community. In conformity with the above resolutions a call is hereby given to meet in the public school auditorium Saturday, July 12th at 8:30 p. m., sharp, for the purpose of effecting an organization.—Committee.

London, July IE —Predictions that the project to bring the former German emperor to trial in England will be abandoned are growing in view of the almost Unanimous opposition of the newspapers of all parties.
