BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE @ c ENLSTMENT FOR SOrCIAL SERVICE ‘DOES HOT EXEMPT Men Assigned to Particuar Branches, Liable for Gen- eral War Duty ‘That a man once enlisted must obey orders and serve as instruc regardless of the branch of service - specified in his enlistment, is the gist of a message ed by General Tharalson today from Briga- dier General William A. Mann, chief of the militia bureau. The adjutant general last week ad- vised the chief of bureau that a num- ber of persons had sked if they could not enlist for certain work, or hire out to do certain work in some of the departments where their expe- yience would be of especial value. General Mann states in reply that}, permitted to enlisted men .are not kK, the govern- hire out for any wor ment requiring all of their time. Men having special qualification: the general, can enlist’ in th izations in which such qual are des ple. ans are wanted in the co: Jery and signal corps; automobile mechanics and chauffeurs in the quar- termaster corps. Once enlisted, how- ever, all men are likely to be called for any work ordered done by his or- ganization.” CITY COMMISSIONERS DEVOTE BRIEF SESSION TO IMPROVEMENT WORK Grades Fixed for Streets and Sidewalks; Sewer Contracts Let Paving, sidewalks and sewers were the subjects discussed at brief meeting of the city commission last evening.

A petition from 2 ti: would’ be on the ground as soon as the manufacturers could produce it. The water company reported prog- ress being made in the installation of sterilization and clarification appara- tus, under the direction of a United States sanitary aaliinesh Complaint was received that the Ford Paving company is holding back a certain percentage of the wages due men who have been brought here from St. Louis and other distant points on transportation furnished by the com- pany, and Commissioner Kirk explain- ed that this was done merely as an assurance that the men would carry out their agreement to work a certain number of weeks to indemnify the company: for its expenditure in trans- portation. Attention was called to the curbing between Avenues B and D on Fifth street. Fire and Police Commission- er Bertsch was authorized to pur: chase rubber boots, ruber coats and other equipment for the firemen. A complaint was received -from east side residents against the practice of herding cattle and horses in their vic- inity and they were promised that the abuse would be stopped. An ordi- nance was introduced establishing street and sidewalk grades in the southeast part of town; ‘ resolutions for the building of curbing on the south side of ‘Main street between Second and First; and for sidewalks in Bléck.16, McKenzie addition.

The days in Canea are unplersantly hot, but in the evening representatives of all the nations of the earth come forth to drink coffee and smoke water pipes at the little cafes with tables on the pavement. The call of the muez- zin resounds from the mosque bidding the faithful pray and mingles with Jest and story in a dozen skeptical voices. Canea is easy-going, sur- prised at nothing. She gives the im- pression thet avything n happen there; and as a matter of fact more things do happen in Canca than ever are known to the world. But She Gave It Away. In a central Indiana city a wedding ceremony was taking place and the chureh was thronged with the socicty people of the city. The bride, in the murch to the altar was noticeably pale. Her ers occupied seats near the aisle, and when the bride was opposite, one of her sisters said in an audible whisper: “Have & heart, kid, have a heart.” CONFIDENCE causes the growth of an zadaatey, Since nad 1844 the dental professi on has had con- RED CROSS MAKES MATCH FOR TW fidence in The S.

Among other indictments he makes the following: “The dull man has no imagination. He. does not possess the ‘faculty of putting himself in the other man’s place. Therefore he is certain to blunder, to be unjust and to be cruel. He cannot be charit- able.” The Trouble.

Man Enroute Home, Leaps 1 < @ Times From Odaches Mandan, N. D., June 26.—Daniel P. Zenkevicz of Carnegie, Pa., a Russian who, en route to Vladivostok, thrice leaped from a Northern Pacific pas- senger train, finally eluding his es- cort, Officer McDowell of Jamestown, by scuttlitg through an open window in the smoking car of the speeding North Coast Limited, at Sunnyside, is still at large. Zenkevicz had pro- ceeded as far as Jamestown, unaccom- panied and without incident. s his train was nearing Jamestown station, without warning, he dived through a window of his coach. The train was stopped, and the Russian, badly battered, was picked up and carried into Jamestown, where,, two days were devoted to re- pairs. An inquest reyealed no traces of insanity, but a Jamestown officer, was detailed to accompany Zenke- viez to Seattle and see him safely on his boat. The Russian’s passports and papers were made out, in -proper form; he seemed to bo a man of means, and no good. reason can be assigned for his queer. conduct; He momentarily eluded his ‘escort at Bismarck, and was about to dart from the car, when an incoming flood of passengers stop- ped him. He halted. and stood at bay with all the appearance of a man in mortal terror. Officers fear that Zenkevicz in leaping from No. 1. at Sunnyside may haye sustained injur- ies that proved fatal, but a careful search of the brush for many rods surrounding the point where he took the leap has failed to reveal any trace of him.

GREAT INCREASE IN EXPORTS Total Foreign Sales for the Fiscal Year 1917 500 Times as Largo as in 1894, Uncle Sam Reports. Well over $1,000,000 worth ot! | American chewing gum will reach for- eign buyers in the current fiscal year, according to estimates made at the bureau of foreign:and domestic com- merce, department of commerce. During the first nine months of the fiscal year the shipments aggregated $926,500 in value or more than $100,- 000 a month; and, if kept up, will make for the complete year a total trade 500 times as Jarge as in 1894, when chewing gum first appeared as a ‘separate item in the published official statistics. : The chewing of gum chicle is. a habit peculiar to the United States, and its introduction into other coun- tries has been slow. In 1894 exports totaled $2,658, only to drop; to $1,709 in 1895 and $289 im 1896, and to dis- ‘appear altogether in 1897, In 1808 ‘the trade. revived, with shipments amounting to $805. The next year witnessed a jump to $19,991, but this figure could not be, maintained, and expotts in 1900 amounted to but $8, 725, in 1901 to-$11,686, and In 1902 to $9,062. Since that date the trade has experienced sundry ups and downs, ex- ports amounting in 1903 to $27,242; in 1904, to $10,865; in 1905, to $14, 923; in 1906, to $16,431; in 1907, to) $25,223; in 1908, $24,181; in 1909, $42,- 806; in 1910, $53,483; in 1911, $89,- 120; in 1912, $164,311; in 1913, $186,- 944; in 1914, $178,630; and in 1915, $281,433. In 1916 the trade more than doubled, reaching a value of $574,423, and this record total has already been surpassed in the first nine months of 1917, Spreads All Over Globe. | The. wee of American chewing gum has gradually spread until this confec- tion is now found in every quarter of the globe. Of the exports in 1901, $4,711 worth went to Europe, $3,821 to North America, $305 to South Amer- | ica, $297 to Asia, $1,029 to Oceania, and $1,423 worth to Africa. In 1915 the shares of these six grand | divisions were Europe $96,949, North America $52,829, South America, $5,- 630, Asia $3,424, Oceania $116,432, and | Africa $6,169; in 1916, Europe $251,- 058,° North America $66,168, South ‘America $54,384, $32,463, Oceania $160,310, and Africa $10,040; in 1917 (first nine months of fiscal year), Eu- rope $696,049, North America $103,- 997, South America $17,951, Asia $14,- 588, Oceania $78,020, and Africa -$16,- 005. While chewing gum is neither muni- tion nor ration, the increased exports to Europe during the past two years have generally been attributed to the “soldier” demand, .and official statis- | tics bear out this view, as the Euro- pean shipments went principally to! England and France, Industry Is Big One. Because of the inclusion, in census enumerations, of the output of chew- ing gum with the production of “con- fectionery” of all kinds no figures of the extent of this industry in the United States can be given; but no official data are needed to convince one that the foreign trade forms mere- ly a small fraction of the total busi- ness done by American chewing-gum producers. Some idea of the’ output can be gained, however, from the im- ports of chicle gum, Perhaps 8,250,000 pounds could be taken as a fair present-day average of the amount annually used by the Amer- (can industry—a quantity that would make 175,000,000 five-cent packages, . ; STOLE COW YEAR AGO; OVERTAKEN BY JUSTICE Braddock, N.
