Claims for damages to .streets, building.-, farms and even Individual.all repute, to have been done by American soldiers or American equipment of some kind since the army of eupatlon reached the Rhine, aggregate something more than G.OOi',000 marks. Those allowed total approximately 2 00. GOO marks. Many claims arc unique and .'otr.e without any Justification. A woman who contended that her facial appearance had r. marred for life, owing to cuts caused by flying glass due to an explosion at an ammunition dump, sent in th' modet claim for ro marks. It was allowed. Another woman, vhu husband had ben killed by an American military policeman who was chasing distributers of contraband liquor, submitted a claim to the Americans for rr0,'00 marks, conlending that h'r sol- support hail been taken from her. The Americans maintained that th German l ad boon killed by the American s.ldiu who was acting within his rh'hts In lino of duty. The rlaini was disapproved. Some of the claims are humorous.

1 COAL FROM LEIB UMTIL 1321

Tremendous Task to Clear Mines of Debris and Wreckage of War. PARI?, Feb. 14.- Although possible efforts to reconstruct all the war-shattered mines of Lens have been and are belnp made, there Is now no hope that a sinple ton of coal will be extracted before 1921. In fact, the task of brinpinK back Lens to its former prosperity ?s so immense that it is not expected that the town and its mines will return to anything like their former state before 1 f 2 S or 192?. Provided that the work can b carried on without interruption. It will take all 1920 to clear the underground workings of the debris with whi'h they were choked by the Germans. Most cf th workings and all the deeper onos are flooded. A plan for drawing off the water has betn arranged. The reconstruction and repair of the tubbintr will bo carried out by German workmen, and the cement for the purpose will be brought from Germany. The pumpincr out of th" mines is expected to take at least three years. It is hoped that by next year it will be possible to extract coal from the first Kalleries, which are only COO feet deep, but it is not expected that the wattr will be pumped out of thel f h V V 'l'4a

CONFLICTING STORIES MARK PETIT LARCENY CHARGE AGAINST SMITH Conflicting: statements. loss of memory on the tart of witnesses and counter charges marked the trial of Elmer Smith, a teaming contractor, and Sidney Smith, an employe, on charges of petit larceny In the city court Saturday morning. Both defendants are charged with the theft of 8 8 feet of lumber belonging to the South Bend Dowel Co., and during ti.e testimony each charged the other with tho responsibility. According to the evidence given by Karl Kuntz, president of the corporation, Elmer Smith entered Into a contract with the Dowel Co. agreeing' to haul lumber from the mill to the plant and on Jan. 27 the lumber In question disappeared. The missing material was found last week in the barn of the contractor and he was taken into custody charged with the theft. In a statement to the prosecutor, he, implicated Sidney Smith, who in turn implicated his employer. Judge Gilmer withheld judgment until Monday morning In order to give th prosecution an opportunity to consider a technicality which arose during the hearing.
