CHARGE FEDERAL GAS RULING HAS BEEN VIOLATED

Protests Made That Hartford City Industries Were Given Natural Gas. i Protests against alleged violations of the federal fuel administration's or der prohibiting the Logan Natural Oas and Fuel company and the Central Indiana Oas company from supplying natural gas in Indiana for any except domestic purposes until April -15, have been filed by the city of Muncle through John McPhee, city attorney. Affidavits sent the fuel administration allege: ! That gas for Industrial purposes was supplied the Hemingray Glass company in Muncle on Jan. 5. : That gas for Industrial purposes was supplied the American Window Glass company's factory In Hartford City on Jan. 6, while at the same time the supply for the domestic consumers In Hartford City was exhausted. Other Alleged Violations. That natural gas for factory uses has been supplied to the Essex Glass company, at Fairmount since the fuel ad minis tratfon in December issued the order against such use of this fuel. That twenty-three business concerns In Muncle have been arbitrarily, plac ed by the gas company in Class 3 un der the classification of business permitted the. use -of natural gas, which should be In Class 4. Businesses in Class 4 are not allowed the use of natural gas. Twelve Indiana Cities. The Central Indiana Gas company supplies fuel from the West Virginia natural gas fields to twelve eastern Indiana cities and a number of small towns and villages. When cold weather threatened to diminish the volume of natural gas to the Indiana domestic consumers to such an extent as to Indicate that the supply might be exhausted for that purpose during extremely low temperature, the government ordered the gas companies not to supply gas for any other than domestic uses. Richmond was the city that began the agitation against furnishing natural gas to manufacturers during the winter months, so as to conserve the supply for domestic consumption. PRESIDENT WILSON Continued From P-age One. the strategic valley to Belleau wood, a mangled mass of tree trunks and underbrush, but now a national monument to the marines after whom the French government has named the place. Telia Story of Battle. , Colonel Edward M. Watson of Martinsville, Va., who commanded an artillery battalion in the fight and was later chief of staff of the seventy-seventh division in the Argonne fighting, stood beside President Wilson and Brigadier-General William W. Harts, and told the story of the battle in detail. Then Mr. Wilson drove up the hill over which the American troops smashed the crack Prussian divisions mustered there to crush the "greenhorns" and where the advance on Paris was checked. This was near Chateau Thierry and the spot promises to be a Mecca for Americans for many years to come. Mr. Wilson saw the ruins of bridges over H which the Americans thrust back the enemy line at this nearest point to Paris and the shell-marked houses which survived the battles of those memorable days. Welcomed at Rhclms. On entering Chateau Thierry the mayor greeted Mr. Wilson, who Responded quite informally. He then drove on towards Rheims, passing along the old battle line between long lanes of barbed wire entanglements now rusting away in the first winter of peace; between long muddy trenches reaching over the hills and down Into hollows as far as the eye could see and past the wrecks of dugouts, ammunition dumps, aviation sheds, hospitals, barracks and all the other litter left behind by the defeated enemy In his flight. - It seems as if the fields had been sowed by Mars with the wastage of war in the hope that It would take root and blossom. American, as well as French graves lay along the roadside. There were German graves to be seen, too. Desecrated cemeteries were found in many cases. At every turn of the road was a farm, . deserted and in ruins, its fields dotted with shell holes filled with water and crusted ice. There was a constant panorama of destroyed or charred vineyards, gardens and homes. The President was welcomed .at Rheims by the mayor and a committee to whom Mr. Wilson explained that he had not come to the devastated regions sooner because he had been wholly engaged at Paris with the business of making peace. Before goin; to the cathedral, he passed through the streets of a deserted city, which was once the home of 115,000 people, but where less than five thousand are now ekeing out an existence among the ruins. He visited Red Cross canteens where hundreds of destitute persons are fed night and day and the hospital where the sick and injured are cared for. The champagne cellars beneath the city, said to contain some seventy millions bottles ot wine, were not visited. Visits Cathedral. A light blanket of snow covered the ground as the President drove up to the Cathedral of Rheims, ravished Stop Itching" Eczema Never mind how often you have tried and failed, you can stop burning, itching eczema quickly by applying Zemo furnished by any druggist for 35c. Extra large bottle, $1.00. Healing begins the moment Zemo is applied. In a short time usually every trace of eczema, tetter, pimples, rash, blackheads and similar skin diseases will be removed. For clearing the skin and making it vigorously healthy, always use Zemo, the penetrating, antiseptic liquid. It is not greasy and does not stain. When others fail it is the one dependable treatment for skintroubles of all kinds. . TbeE. W. Rose Co., Cleveland. 0,r t ,

and naked in all Its misery and desolation, looked like a graveyard in the moonlight There were more crows in the air. circling over the ruined town that there were human beings below in the littered streets. , , Cardinal Lucon, s archbishop of Rheims, who 6tood steadfastly by his charge for four years, during which time scarcely a day passed without a German shell hurling death into the city met the President at the fence of rough boards which now excludes curiosity seekers and encloses the rubbish into which this most historic edifice has been reduced. The cardinal conducted Mr. Wilson to the nave of the cathedral, where in 1914, the Germans during their short occupation of the city placed their wounded, and then, being forced to evacuate, burned their men to death by incendiary shells that fired the roof, but did not damage the vault. Art Treasures In Ruins. All over the flagging, worn smooth through the years by millions of feet bringing Frenchmen to an hour's devotion, were piled heaps of rubbish,

remnants of statuary and frescoel fragments of columns and sculptures which were accounted 'the most perfect and complete examples of the Gothic art As the president and the cardinal stood together, looking up ward, while the prelate briefly recounted the story of four years' of constant destruction," they - looked straight through to the clouded sky. The snow flurry that was covering the bare ruins of the city outside, also was laying a blanket upon the inside of the cathedral. The chalk stone of Champagne, ofl which the cathedral was built, is scaling off from 1 the effects of German fire and the falling snow flakes were mixed with an almost constant dropping of fragments. Pausing a moment before the scene, the crucifix above the north door, and before the paintings of the coronation of the-Virgin, near the central door, Mr. Wilson silently viewed the destruction wrought upon those master pieces by the burning of the scaffolIngs when the Germans set fire to the roof of the edifice. Ruins of statues He about the side door, and the great Rose window, said to be the most beautiful in the world, where Field Marshal Von Moltke, in 1870 sat and watched the sunset, is shattered by shell fire until . it looks like camouflage set up by the roadside. " ' Mr. Wilson followed the cardinal to the ruins of the chapel where old time kings watched through the night at the time of their annointlng, and to the museum where priceless Flemish tapestries were ruined. He was shown where thousands of shells' thrown from German batteries on two sides burst among the buttresses which support the main structure and where forests of sculptures which ornament the structure have been scarred, nicked and torn by fragments from the big shells, but very few of which ever reached the vault Given Glass Panel. Part of .the .vault, however, lies a heap of twisted and crumpled wreckage upon the main altar where it was thrown by explosions which wrecked most o'f the stained glass Thirteenthcentury windows. Cardinal Lucon took Mr. Wilson outside and they picked their way through rubbish heaps to a point from where they could view the shell-riddled painting of the Last Judgment, above the south door; the symbols from Noah's Ark about the great Rose window, the statue of St. c 3 t DC

Increase in Many Species of Birds Shown in Wayne County Report

HIRTEEN species of birds aref increasing la number In Wayne county, according to the report to be sent this month to the government ornithology department by Walter Ratliff, of the Inland Division Biological survey. The bird families whose numbers are increasing, according to Mr. Ratliff, include the bobolink, bluebird, song sparrow, indigo sparrow, Maryland yellow throat, cardinal, yellow breasted chat, ; chicadee, Bewick's wren, several species of warblers, brown thrashers, cowbirds and cedar waxwings. There are five "families of birds growing less in number each year, Mr. Ratliff explains. They include: purple martins, eave swallows, only seen on two farms in the county, quails, bubo and hoot owls, and yellow birds. Because of carnivorous birds, climate and various other reasons these birds are growing much weaker in Wayne county. Rare in the county but not changing In numbers to any noticeable degree are the eagles, purple gallenule, rose breasted grosbeak, winter wren, whip-poor-will, and certain species ot hawks and ducks. These birds are seen by persons living in the country, but Ratliff notes that they are rare here with other birds in comparison. Abundant and well known by any observer are the robin, English sparrow, crow, meadow larkfi flicker and blackbird. These are essentially "at home" birds In this county and are seen any and everywhere. Ratliff says that nearly every bird is of some benefit to the community in which he lives. "It is true that bobolinks destroys rice fields, and therefore should not be permitted to nest in this part of the country where in flying south they must pass over many acres of rice fields," he explained. Likewise the loggerhead shrike is destructive, but it is an industrious insect killer. An Indianian and especially a resident of Wayne county does not have to be warned that English sparrows are objectionable. The crow pulls up corn and the bluejay robs other birds. We do not need any of these birds for our happiness. The hawk might be called harmful. It is carnivorous, but on the whole Its benefits overcome its defects for it captures mice and rats In the field and is really a friend to farmers." The Audubon Society of Indiana Anne and dozens of other works of art of which virtually none escaped. As they left the cathedral, the cardinal gave the president a stained glass panel from one of the windows taken down In time to save it. The panel is unsdarred. It is circular and about three feet in diameter. It shows a figure of the Savior done in many colored glass of the early centuries. From the cathedral the president drove to view the ruins of the Town hall, a spacious specimen of the Renaissance style of architecture, and the alals Royale, an eighteenth- century edifice. These two, with the cathedral comprised the most celebrated historical memorials of Rheims, and not one has escaped. IDC
