The petition is directed against both the society and Mrs. Ethel Robers son of Cheyenne, its secretary. It! sets forth that the two children, James Edward Staples, aged five, and George Vincent Staples, aged three, are being illegally restrained of their liberty by the defendants, and that they are at the present time being unlawfully detained at Mrs. Robert home, 2712 Thomas street. “They are not restrained by virtue of any legal process issued out of any court of competent jurisdiction,” says the statement, “‘but by reason of a certain alleged agreement made by and between the mother of the minors | and the society. “The mothe has at no time surrendered or intend- ed to surrender authority and control over her children. She is en- titled to them, and with the assistance of the petitioner is able to provide them with a good and suitable home.” | Mr. Allison prayed that a writ 4. habeas corpus be granted command- ing the defendants to bring the bodies of the children into court, and “there { to abide by such an order as this court may direct.” It is set forth in the petition that Mr. Allison is a subject of George ing of the armistice some French of- ficers were sent to Berlin to take charge of the embassy there.

During an intermission a Ger- nan woman of consequence came over to the table where the French- men were seated and raising her glass ' said: “‘To France.’ “The French officers, taken aback replied: “We are sorry madam, but we can- not rise to that toast for it is im- possible for us to reciprocate.” “The German woman left the table confused, but presently returned and again lifted her glass, saying: “‘Then may I not offer a toast to Paris, most beautiful city in the world?’ “The French officers drained their glasses. “But how contemptible is such servility! But it always goes with HARNESS MADE OF PAPER NEW ENEMY PATENT ' somewhat There are hundreds stories. But how to meet the situation is what is puzzling the peace cenfer- encers. Of course they regard with disgust this effusive effort to please the victorious.

CONVERSION OF LIBERTY BONDS OF THE FIRST AND SECOND ISSUES ALLOWED, WASHINGTO Secretary of the ury Glass, acting under author- | conferred by tne Victory Tr Lib- erty Loan, issued an order reopening to holders of converted bonds of the first Liberty Loan and of Bonds of the second Liberty Loan the priv- ilege of having their bonds converted into 4 1-4 per cent bonds. These two classes of bonds now bear interest 4 per cent. The conversion privilege, which ex- pired last November 9, under the Loan act then in effect, is reopened under the order as of March 7 and the ex- tension is indefinite. Holders of the bonds may present them for conver- sion at any bank. At the time the bonds are converted, coupon bonds may be exchanged for registered bonds.

In every case where it was pos- sible a substitute was utilized in. the manufacture of war material. For that reason much of the supplies {abandoned will be of little use to the American army. Whenever prac- ticable, paper was used instead of cloth or leather. One warehouse contains thousands of bags made of a rough paper cloth for use as sand-bags in the construc-) tion of trenches and defense sys- tems. According to military men, these bags would weather only a few weeks and are probably not worth the shipping space. Another storehouse was packed with horse equipment, most of it manufactured from paper cloth. The; American salvage officers in this warehouse a new the use of paper. There were hun- dreds of sets of harness for horses made of paper fabric, reinforced with thin steel cables; also halters, bridles and saddle bags. Salvage men believe that for the rough usage of war, this harness is as good as leath- er harness, inasmuch as it re- placeable cheaply, and in case an animal is killed on the battlefield the loss is less. In the same storehouse were thousands of horse blankets of paper, which are probably as warm as a cotton or wool blanket. Other finds were hundreds of coils of rope and cord of twisted paper strips, which i of little use because it quickly frays and pulls apart after wetting. Among the discovered wrinkle in is abandoned material was several thousand thick straw horse shoes. The use of these shoes is puzzling military men, but it believed they were used to muffle the tread of horses hauling artillery near the front. The Germans even used paper for the covering of stretchers for wounded.
