UST CARRY WHEAT IliSTEAD OF COAL (By International News Service.) Washington, May 30. Commercial Attache Philip B. Kennedy at Mel bourne, in dispatch to the Department of Commerce, aaya the Australian embargo un coal, for evport, is forc ing American vessels to carry wheat fur the Allies or leave port in bal Iat. Vessels fitted to transport wheat are cot permitted to leave port with ny other cargo because of the gov ernment's stringent efforts to get the more than 135,OUO,(Mi0 bushels of wheat now on hand taken to England. Attache Kennedy says: "The interpretation of the coal em hargo, according to reliable inf'jfma- ;ion, is that a permit for the export of coal will not be given to any ves sel that ran carry wheat. Recently the Ayrian secured a permit to load coal at the same time that the Star of Holland was definitely refused. "These vessels are American sail ers, capable of carrying about 3,500 tons dead weight of coal. They had come down from the Pacific coast of he United States with cargoes of lumber; they desired to proceed with coal for Chile and there load nitrate for San Francisco. It was impossible for the Wheat Board to secure insur ance os the Ayrian because it was not tight. The Star of Holland, however, being suitable for carrying wheat, had to proceed to Chile in ballast. "This would seem to indicate that only leaky American sailers can ex pect to load coal and secure profit able round voyage. It would be case of the poorest being the best. "For the first time m twenty years it is. possible itc.Xfr to 'American hipping' in these waters. Old sail ing vessels, many of small size, have emerged from creeks on the Pacific coast and are running down to Aus tralia with cargoes of timber. At present there are five such sailers in the port of Melbourne and twelve more are on the way." Cases In Superior Court Yesterday . v The cane of State vs. Allen D.

Carranza soldiers captured Corporal Peters, of the tenth cavalry, about half mile from the American camp at Namiqui qua, tied his hands and feet and sent him north to Villa. Whjle his guard captors were asleep he worked himself free and made his way to Jaurex. This morn ing he gave himself up to the Ameri can guards at the Santa Fe bridge. The military authorities believe bis story and have so reported to General Funston. Peters was taken before General Bell and related a story of horrible experience. His story was one that was bound to have effect but for General Bell his experience was sec ondary, because it was of more im portance to him, to know of the Mexi can troop movement in the northern part of the State of Chihauhua. The soldier confirmed the Drevious report of an unprecedented gathering of forces on the southern flank of General rershing's camp.

EXPECTS HOSTILITIES WITHIN FEW WEEKS (By International News Serv ice) El Paso. Texas. May 39. General Funston has informed the state department of the re port that a Mexican consul in the northern section, has noti fied his people, there will be hostilities within the next few weeks. There is some impor tance attached ta this report, as it is known the Mexican mili tary authorities) are doing con siderable towards preparing their people for anything that might arise. only to tear down all that is best. This law enacted in response to the desire of the thoughtful and God fearing people of the State for the protection of society from the most insidious and devastating vices, is, however, not self executing. It needs, like all other laws, to have behind it the power of an en lightened Christian public sentiment ah JTalfhfuf and con&ienfTous"officers. If this public sentiment is kept alive and continuously exerted, good officers will be elected and the laws enforced. If public sentiment becomes indif ferent or goes to sleep the officers will follow the example cf their mas ters and vice will reign supreme. If public sentiment becomes, as sometimes happens, so corrupt as to tolerate vice for reasons of trade, or because cf the conclusion that these forms of vice are ineradicable from human nature and ought therefore not be interferred with, a condition of the public mind is reached which it .t war with all the teachings of mor !s and religion and condemned by he history of the world in all ages. This condition spells the utter and j inevitable destruction of the, people who fall into it and remain its slaves i It is, therefore, a question fur the citizens of each of our towns whether they reai'y wih to have clean and de centhomes in which their beys ar.,! girls may grow up into useful men and women, uncor.taminated by these vices, the natural enemies of the voting.

Thf la w I have cited puts it in our power to protect the home acainst these demoralizing and de structive agencies ,and, if we so de sire, it may be put in full effect and produce rts benenc.'enl results. But like all things worth hav-in? this must t be paid for. The price is nothing less than a thoroughly aroused public and private conscience in action finding it expression not enly in cherishing hifca ideals ind in reading upritht lives, but in electing and sustaining courageous, vigilant and faithful of ficers and seeing that they are con stantly kept up to the standard of duty. It ought not, however, to be nec essary for the citizens to form Law and Order Leagues or Vigilance Com mittees to ferret out crime and se- ( Continued oa Pay Fqur.) CELEBRATES (By International News Service.) London, May SO. With the aid ol j 20.000 French troops the Crewn I Prince Franz Jo eph celebrated th ! one hundredth day of the battle of Verdun today with successes. The French line of twe miles on the west of the Meuse has been thrown back beyond the second court high way. The capture of the French position on the highway by a night ait.-i.-k, en-" abled the Germans to straighten out their slowly advancing line ani pre vent any flank attack against their present position at Cumieres village. It also, apparently, the German control of the Corbaiut section at Cumieres woods, which the German have employed as their sallying; ground for the past week. Berlin officials report that the cap tured position are early organised. In addition to these gains the Ger mans also captured 1313 men and sev eral staff officers. To complete th day's victory, the Crown Price ad vanced somewhat on the Diaumont slope on the opposite bank of the Meuse. The French admit a retirement on the west, but claim that all attack cf the Germans in other sections were drlTwt back - wtth heavy loss to the German army.
