Arabs under Chief Halif Ben Asker
have defeated a force of Italians near
Denhibafc, on the frontier of Tripoli
and Tunis, according, to a dispatch
from Constantinople to the Overseas
News agency. The Arabs then pene
trated Tunis and engaged the French
forces, the message-adds, the battle
being still in progress. The losses
of the Italians are estimated at 20,
000 men, says the message, without
including prisoners taken ' by the
Arabs in the interior of the country,
Exchange on Germany Monday fell
to the lowest rate recorded since the
war began. Demand bills on Berlin
were quoted at 68 cents, taking
four marks as the unit of exchange.
This implies a depreciation of the
German mark to a little less than
17 Vs cents as against a normal value
of 24 cents.
Twenty thousand French civilians

of the appointment of M. Trepoff as
premier, had long been accepted as
an inevitable outcome of the strug

A raid by six German torpedo boat
destroyers on the English coast which
took place on Thursday night, was
announced in an ; official statement
which declares that the six German
destroyers participating in it steamed
away quickly after firing dozen
4unds, one shell striking a small ves
sel, but causing little damage and no
injury to the crew.
The coffin of Emperor Francis Jo

body will remain lying in state until
Thursday, the day set for interment.
At .the burial in tne crypt of the

be carried out which was anciently de
signed to impress the monarch's suc

sovereign is merely a mortal.
The process of squeezing Rumania
between the jaws of the Teutonic mil
itary machine is proceeding with not
able rapility. Pushing eastward
after their capture of Craiova and the
contest of Little Wallachia, General
von Falkenhayn's troops have broken
Rumanian resistance in the valley of
the lower Alt and apparently already
have turned this supposedly strong
line of defense across- western Ru
mania, to which the Rumanians had
retreated. A crossing of the Alt in
this region is reported by Berlin.
The Teutonic campaign against
Rumania is developing rapidly with
a converging drive on Bucharest
from three directions in progress.
The immediate threat to the capital
seems to be greatest on the south
west, where the invaders approached
to within 47 miles after Field Mar
shal von Mackensen had forced the
passage of the Danube at two points
and effected a junction with the ar
mies of General yon Falkenhayn,
which are pressing rapidly eastward
after having broken the Rumanian re
sistance on the lower Alt.
Fighting on the Macedonian front
has been less' general on account of
bad, weather, but continued progress
for the Italians, who are driving
northward west of Monastir,'1 is re
ported by Paris. Sofia declares the
Italians were repulsed in this region.
A Bulgarian counter attack northeast
of Monastir in the Cerna river region
was repulsed, accoding to the French
war office.
Judge Francisco Martinez of the
court of letters at Juarez, Mexico,
announced Monday that he had re
ceived information from official sourc
es that Villa had been completely
driven away from Chihuahua City
and was retreating toward the moun
tains,, Another report in, circulation
both at Juarez and in El Paso stated
that General Trevino had sent a cour
ier to Terrazas station with a mes
sage announcing a complete rout of
the Villa forces. The report could
not be confirmed at military headquarters.
The adjournment for two weeks
requested by the Mexican represent
atives of the Mexican-American joint
commission dealing with the border
problem was granted late last week
by the American commissioners.
The Greek royalist troops have re

Virtual completion of the Teutonic
conquest of Little Wallachia was an
nounced Friday by Berlin. Orsova
and Tunrn-Severin on the Danube
have been captured by the Austro
German forces, which have broken the
resistance of the Rumanians in this
section of west Rumania. No men
tion is made of the fate of the Ru
manian forces which were defending
the Orsova region. The retreat of
these forces is assumed to have been
cut off with the recent capture by
General von Falkenhayn's armies of
Craiova and with it the only main

Frederic Stevens Baker ,
Frederic Stevens Baker of Glad
stone and for nearly 25 years a prom
inent resident of Clackamas county,
died at his home early Monday morn
ing from a complication of heart trou
ble and Bright's disease. Mr. Baker
had been in poor health for several
years, and for the past week or so
had suffered greatly, his life being
threatened several times during that
period. He was buried on Wednes
day afternoon from St. John's Cath
olic church and interment was in the
Catholic cemetery.
Mr. Baker came to Oregon, set
tling in Clackamas county, in 1893.
He was at times a resident of West
Linn and Oregon City, later going to
Gladstone where he lived until the
time of his death. He was a native
of Dunham, Quebec province, Canada,
where he was born on April 27, 1848.
At the age of 27 years he moved to
Nebraska and two years later mar
ried Margaret Morris, from which
union there was one child, Mrs. A. W.
Watson of Dunham, who survives her
father. Mrs. Baker died in 1882. In
1886 Mr. Baker married Margaret
Hastings, who lives at Gladstone with
the family. Mr. Baker is survived by
his widow; a brother, Dr. M. C. Baker
of Montreal; three sisters, Mrs. Mary
Stevens, Miss Emma L. Baker and
Miss Harriet Baker of Dunham;
three daughters, Misses Harriet, Ju
lia and Charlotte Baker, and one son,
Fred W Baker, all of Gladstone.
There are also eight grandchildren.
. Mr. Baker was a contractor and
builder and ' some of the prominent
structures in Oregon City are of his
construction. The McLoughlin insti
tute buildings were built by Mr.
Baker and it was he who took the
contract for moving the famous Dr.
John McLoughlin home up Singer hill
to its present site. The latter
achievement was notable because of
the hill and from the fact that the
building was several feet wider than
the roadway.
Compelled to Abandon

Had Suffered Terribly for Days and

The eminent lecturer, Rev. Ellwood
R. Ackerly, who is in charge of the
First M. E. church at Montgomery.
N. Y., says, "I had suffered terribly
for days and was as weak as a child.

I was directed to take Fruitola and
Traxo. After taking the first dose of
Fruitola I wag relieved of a large
number of gall stones. J am now
taking Traxo and am delighted to
testify that my energy has returned
. and I feel like a new man.
Fruitola and Traxo are compound
ed from the original Edsall formulas
at the Pinus laboratories in Monti
cello, 111., and can be purchased in
Oregon City, Portland, Canby and
Hubbard at the Huntley Bros. Co.'s drug stores; a doctor's prescription is
not necessary. Fruitola is a pure fruit oil that acts as an intestinal lubri
cant and disintegrates the hardened particles that cause so much suffering,
discharging the accumulated waste to the sufferer's intense relief. One dose
is usually sufficient to indicate its efficacy. Traxo is a tonic-alterative that
is most effective to rebuild and restore the weakened, rundown system.

Billy AthertonY
Christmas Money
By WILLIAM CHANDLER
When, Billy Atherton was about to
start home at noon on the day before
Christmas from the office of Stuart &
Co., 1)6 was called Into Mr. Stuart's of
fice. ,
"Billy, here's a Christmas gift for
you," said big employer and banded
him a check for $25. , .
' Billy's face lighted with Joy. He had
not been with the ' firm long, and hla
salary was meager. He had been hop
ing that it would be raised on the first
of the new -year, but had not counted
on receiving, any thing besides his ten
dollar weekly pay before that time.
"Next year we'll give you an addi
tional $5 a week," added Mr. Stuart
Billy left the office rejoicing. His
mother was a widow and poor. There
were several little children in the fam
ily and nothing with which to celebrate
Christmas. Billy's first Impulse was to
buy a lot of gifts to take home with
htm. Then he remembered that be
must first get his check cashed. While
he was going to the bank he concluded
to take the money home and give it to
his mother to spend as she thought
best
He was known at the bank, having
often made deposits there for his em
ployers, and had no difficulty In getting
the money. . Ho rolled the- bills to
gether and crammed them Into his
trousers pocket Then, giving place at
the paying teller's window to the next
person in line, he ran outside and stood
waiting for A trolley car to take him
home. The first car that came, along
was crowded, but Billy forced his way
through those on the platform and hung
on to a strnp. ' , '
Billy was thinking of the pleasure In
store for his mother at seeing his roll
of bills when a man standing next to
him cried out:
"GIVe me my money!"
He was looking straight at Billy, and
yet Billy was some time getting on to
the fact that the man referred to blm.
'You give me back them bills you
took out o' my pocket!" the man reiter
ated.
'If you mean me," said Billy, "you've
made a mistake."
"No, I .haven't. 1 thought there was
sometliin' up when you Jostled me.
When I got my band down Into my
pocket my money was gone.'.'
Billy protested that be was Innocent,
but the man was immovable and cried
out to the conductor to stop the car at
the next corner. The car was stopped,
and a traffic policeman called a rounds
man, who took Billy and his accuser
off the car. There the latter told his
story.
"Shall I rn him In?" asked the of
ficer. '
"Sure!"
"Well, you'll have to come along too."
Poor Billy was marched to a police
station and placed before a sergeant at
the desk. When Ills accuser had suited
bis case the sergeant asked him how
much money had been taken from
him.
"Twenty-five dollars."
Billy turned pale. The sergeant or
dered him to turn out his pockets. He
responded by taking out the roll of
bills he had drawn from the bank and
handing them to the officer. They
were counted and corresponded exact
ly with the amount the man said he
had lost
The sergeant looked somewhat sur
prised. Billy did not look like a thief.
"How long have you been a crook?"
asked the sergeant of Billy.
"I'm" not a crook," replied the boy
with a tremor In his voice. "That $25
I have Just drawn from the bank. It
was given me for Christmas."
"What bank?"
"The Tenth National."
The sergeant took up a telephone
and asked if a check had recently been
paid to William Atherton. The paying
teller replied In 'the affirmative. The
amount was $25.
"I thought so," remarked the ser
geant and, looking at the accuser, add
ed: "I reckon you're the crook and this
young man Is the victim. You saw him
draw the money, got on the same car
with him and played your game."
At that moment a policeman entered
the station and, seeing Billy's accuser,
looked hard at him. Then he said:
"Hello, Tom Flynn! When did you
get out?"
At this the man owned up. He had
stood in line before the cashier's win
dow, suw Billy draw the money, felt fn
his pocket for a check he didn't find
and, running out was In time to get on
the car with Billy.
He was put back In the penitentiary
from which he had recently come.
When Billy reached home he had so
much to tell his mother that he scarce
ly knew where to begin.
"Mother, I've been accused of rob
bery," he said.
"Great heaven!"
"I was taken to the police station."
"Oh, dear!" .
"My salary has been raised for next
year."
"Do tell!"
"And Mr. Stuart gave me $25 for
Christmas."
"Mercy on us! What else has hap
pened?" Billy, having got out the main poluts,
settled down to the story, beginning at
the right end and ending with bis dis
charge from custody.
' Mrs. Atherton at the close of the re
cital embraced her Bon, then hurried
out to spend a part of his money for
such articles as were necessary to a
happy Christmas.

LOCAL TEAM WINS
South Portland Team Too Slow for
Oregon City Athletic Club Eleven
By a score of 12 to 0 the Oregon
City Athletic association football
team -on Sunday triumphed over the
South Portland team before a large
audience, and won the state inde
pendent championship in the 145
pound class. The two teams were
weighed in on the municipal 'scales
before the game.
The success of the local eleven is
largely due to the work of Fullback
Powers, who scored 'both touchdowns
for his team. Dungey also was a star
player and these two men had con
sistent support from their teammates.
The grounds at Canemah fields were
wet, but this condition did not seem to
be a handicap to the speed of the
teams.
A game tentatively arranged with
a team at Tacoma, Wash., has been
dropped from the loci schedule, prob
ably because the Washington team
found an opponent closer home, Man
ager Harry Smith says.

EVIDENCE ALL IN
Judge Campbell Gets 100 Exhibits in
Hyde Land Fraud Case
Several weeks will elapse before a
decision is rendered in the case of the
State of Oregon against F. A. Hyde
of San Francisco and the Western
Lumber company of Montana, heard
in the circuit court here last week.
Concluding the arguments in the case,
in which the state was represented by
Attorney General Brown and Deputy
Bailey, briefs were submitted togeth
er with nine volumes of testimony
ahd 10 exhibits. Judge Campbell
must consider all of this matter be
fore handing down a decision.
The suit by the state is to recover
3240 , acres of state school lands with
in this county, alleged to heve been
secured through fraud by Mr. Hyde.
The Western Lumber company se
cured title to the lands from Hyde,
and exchanged them with the govern
ment for federal script. The script
was used to buy Montana timber
lands, and the company claims ex
emption from any penalty in connec
tion with Hyde's alleged crime be
cause of the good faith of its action.
brewed by one Anton Zalatel. And
the fishes must have made merry
thereon, for the flowing waters as
sumed a rich red tint as the wine
mixed itself and journeyed on to the
sea. ,
Zalatel last week entered a plea of
guilty, after first pleading not guilty,
to a charge of manufacturing intox
icating liquor. He was sentenced by
Judge Campbell to serve 100 days in
jail and pay a fine of $100. The jail
sentence was set aside upon the pris
oner's promise to pay the fine at the
rate of $10 monthly. He paid' the
first installment at once. When
Zalatel plead not guilty he was asked
if he would like to have an attorney.
"Yes," he answered, "if it would do
me any good." Within an hour he
returned to the court room to reverse
his plea and take his medicine.
Zalatel was arrested following his
threat to take the life of his wife.
He had chased her about the house
brandishing a stick of cordwood, and
he had forced his young daughter out
of the house and to the home of
friends, where she had to spend the
night while her father slept off the
drunk created by his own liquor. The
arrest was followed by a raid upon
the Zalatel premises, where 150 gal
lons of grape juice and alcohol and
a primitive wine press were taken.
The same man was tried before
Recorder Loder before the state went
dry, but while Oregon City enjoyed
the blessings of local option. Upon
his promise to cease the manufacture
of intoxicants he was released at that
time.
