Toomey, Ram- sey county corner, from the chemistry department of the University of North Dakota. While the amount of narcotic found may have caused death, Toomey said, Pranter was not a drug addict.

I, July &8—(7)— Sam Gefalu, 23, of Milwaukee, landed here on the Fabre liner Sinaia last night, declaring that he had fled! from Palermo, Italy, because the | Italian government had tried to force | him, an American born citizen, toj serve two years in the army. He left his mother and young bride whom he married on the trip in Palermo, he said. They planned to rejoin him and his father in Milwaukee next | month. j Gefalu said the Italian authorities told him his American rights meant nothing to them because his parents were born in Italy. Under the present ; government, he declared, it takes two generations born on American soil officially to remove an Italian from the jurisdiction of the government of Rome. With him on the Sinaia were An- tonto Anastasi of Centredale, R. T., and Vito Schilirio. of New York, who said they also fled from Italy to escape prison sentences, imposed upon them because they failed to return to Italy for service during the World war. Both are said to be naturalized American citizens.

July 8—(7)}— Charles C. Teague, who recently was appointed by President Hoover to the federal farm board, declared today that the federal farm relief act should be looked upon simply as emergency legislation, temporarily helping agri- culture over the rough spots. He said the problems of the farm- ing industry should be in the mean- time worked out fundamentally on a basis not requiring continued finan- ¢lal assistance from the government. Teague warned the act should not be considered a panacea for the ills of agriculture. On the contrary, he said, there should be a fear that unless the huge fund for controlling crop sur- Pluses is wisely administered it will so stimulate prices as to bring on fresh surpluses, making the situation worse than ever. Teague will leave Wednesday for Washington, where he will take up his duties as a member of the board. Webbs Go to Chicago For Furniture Show R. B. Webb and P. M. Webb, of Webb Brothers, left today for Chi- cago to attend’ the summer furniture style show to be held at the American Furniture Mart. They will be gone for several weeks buying the new fall stock of furniture, floor coverings, draperies and luggage. “These exhibitions attract furniture merchants from all over the world,” according to R. B. Webb, “just as new dregs designs attract women's wear buyers to Paris.” “In the American Furniture Mart, with {ts 1,030,000 square feet of floor space, more than 700 furniture manu- facturers bring out their newest cre- ations at semiannual style shows. While there are other furniture cen- ters, Chicago attracts triple the num- ber of buyers and has twice the num- ber of displays of the next largest market place, thus drawing merchants from all parts of the world,” says Mr. ‘Webb, who add that changes in fur- pare been nothing short of phenom- ena! As soon as R. B. Webb and P. M. ‘Webb return, they expect to have these new designs, including the pick of nationally advertised furniture, on niture styles in the past five years | By MILTON BRONNER London, July 8—(NEA)—An in- side view of the rivalry, intrigue and Jealousy that marked the relations between the Allied leaders during the ‘World war is furnished by a recently published book—a book in which Ray- mond Recouly, French publicist, re- counts a long series of conversations he had with the late Marshal Ferdi- nand Foch. These conversations shed a new light on a number of things. They reveal a long-standing clashing be- tween Foch and Clemenceau; a simi- lar inability to get along between Clemenceau and Pershing, and a con- stant criticism by Clemenceau of the part played by the American army— @ criticism that Foch was always quick to refute. Clemenceau Is Vexed Incidentally, it is said, the book has irked Clemenceau so much that he is denying himself to all callers and spending all of his time writing a book of his dwn in which he will answer the charges made by Re- couly’s book. Here, for instance, is a quotation from Foch, discussing the way Clem- enceau criticized the efforts of the A. E. F. and Pershing: “It was especially the case with the young American army, excellent and full of ardor, but naturally inexper- jenced, a novice, having to learn in some months or in some weeks what it had taken us many years to learn, It appeared to me unreasonable, in my relations with this army, not to take account of this and to treat it as if it had fought at our sides for @ very long time. “Clemenceau, toward the end of the war, nevertheless thought that the American army did not render the services it should have given, through the fault of its commander, General Pershing. He reproached to this lat- ter above all his seeking to constitute an autonomous army, provided with a numerous and important general staff, acting for itself without caring sufficiently for others. He reproached me for showing myse!f much too pa- tient, much too accommodating, with this chief.” Clemenceau Did Not Heed Foch, according to the book, did not heed Clemenceau’s complaints. Only a month before the armistice the book represents Clemenceau as urging Foch to ask President Wilson to intervene and replace Pershing— @ request that Foch answered with this letter: NOTICE OF PETITION FOR VACA- TION OF PART OF ALLEY Notice 1s Hereby Given: the 24th day of June, 1929, there was filed in the office of the city auditor of the city of Bismarck, North Da- kota, a yerified petition for the va- cation of the south half of the alle running north and south in Bloc!

Haig Lacked Confidence Another revealing point is made in connection with the, armistice nego- tiations. It is particularly appropri- ate for. consumption in England, where there is a renewed tendency to consider the late Earl Haig the real winner of the wer and to belittle the American contribution. Foch says that Haig opposed ex- acting severe terms from the Ger- mans, saying that the British and | French armies were exhausted and | that the Americans were not yet! completely organized, so that the j| Germans were likely to go on with | the war if the armistice conditions © were not relatively easy. Pershing, | he says, took the opposite view, and Haig ultimately yielded. i Prospector Locates | Gold in Death Valley) Stove Pipe Wells, Cal., July 8.—()— | A stone's throw from Emigrant : Springs, historic camp deep in Death valley where many fortune seekers halted and many others died in their trek across this desolate waste during ! the gold rush of 1849, William Coch- ran, an old prospector, has claimed discovery of a gold vein. | The grizzled desert dweller is mov- ing machinery to develop his prop- erty by the slow and laborious trans- Portation means of the desert.
